Firefighters Local 4396 Union is Marathon's firefighters and paramedics. Monroe County Teacher's Union could learn a lot from Local 4396 regarding press releases about all the good stuff. Marathon's besieged city staffers could learn to finally stand up for themselves by forming their own union. The Rock Coalition is pro-union as well as other similar communities. Request a ride-along.

May 28, 2011 - Islamorada - L. E. Shaffer: Interviewing Councilman David Purdo at the Island Grill. The Marathon Florida Keys Journal covers the Middle Keys from Big Pine Key to Marathon through Islamorada. Councilman Dave Purdo met me at Island Grill to discuss Islamorada issues. Island Grill at 88.5 mile marker ocean side was the meeting place. Island Grill can be reached at 305-664-8400. See their website at www.keysislandgrill.com.

 
Surprisingly, our first topic was workforce-housing issues. Dave and I served together for a number of years on the Middle Keys Community Land Trust board of directors. Purdo was part of the successful Woods Corner workforce housing development. The need for adequate housing for our valuable workforce will always be a necessity.

Of course, the topic of wastewater came up in detail. This complex issue still requires funding and difficult decision-making. Dave told me that stormwater is a future project. He thought reuse water was a great idea but was concerned about just how to deploy that system. We talked about retiring wastewater tanks and the possibility to convert those to cisterns.

We talked about the annual difficulties of processing the budget. Even at rollback, the specter of more taxes to keep the spending at the previous year’s level is going to be hard. When is it enough to cut spending before you go too far, and someone loses their life or home to a fire. Dave and I agreed that SHE is a very important consideration. That is Safety, Health, and Environment.

I asked Purdo about his intentions for the 2012 election season. I figured that I would get the typical politician’s coy answer, which is no answer at all. How refreshing to hear that depending on circumstances and other factors that he felt that he had a lot more to offer his hometown. He would like to stagger council terms so that not all the councilpersons are elected or reelected at the same time. Dave is looking to save taxpayer money by moving the elections to November as has worked for Marathon. I hope Dave runs for reelection. He has proven to be a very good councilman.

Dave Purdo lamented the quality of certain media coverage. It is bad enough to be misquoted, but to get extraneous bull out of context is unforgiveable. I commiserated with him on this subject.

Purdo works on computers and is a charter-boat captain. He bemoans the fact that being a councilman takes so much time that he can only take charters on Saturday or Sunday. It has been a while since he has been able to go out. He does not mind though. The most rewarding work is one that you are having fun. Purdo is dedicated to Islamorada’s residents. He really likes the challenge.

Before we departed ways, Dave took me to the history wall on the west side of the restaurant. Superimposed over an aerial view of Islamorada are photos of different characters, events, and times in the town’s history. Local historian Irving Eyster serves his community well with such projects. Maybe we will interview him next.

All Keys Glass can do about anything encompass glass. I found the all glass walk-in shower very nice. There is something tropical about a shower like that. There appears to be more open area as well in case you should want to shower with other people. Okay, spouse. Goodness.

May 20, 2011 - Islamorada - David Purdo: Memorial Day Service @ Hurricane Monument Monday May 30th. The Matecumbe Historical Trust will hold their annual Memorial Day Service on Monday, May 30th beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Islamorada Hurricane Monument, Mile Marker 81.5 Overseas Highway, adjacent to the Matecumbe United Methodist Church. The monument was dedicated in 1937 to honor the Veterans and civilians killed in the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.

 
Henry Rosenthal will make the introductory welcome presentation. The ceremony will include an invocation by Matecumbe United Methodist Church Pastor Barbara Ammann. Mayor Michael Reckwerdt will be the guest speaker. Presentation of Colors by Boy Scout Troop 914, Glenn Taylor’s presentation on the true meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem sung by Kathy Buchanan, the history of the Hurricane Monument given by Historian Irving Eyster, the laying of the memorial wreath and a benediction by Island Community Church Pastor Tony Hammond. Rich Russell will then share some final words. The service is open to the public. Residents and visitors are encouraged to attend in observance of Memorial Day. For additional information, please contact Irving Eyster, President of the Matecumbe Historical Trust at 305-664-9504.

Marathon Cleaners can clean anything, and do the job well. Personable service and welcoming attitude. They even clean silk shirts. How cool is that?

June 11, 2011 - Sugarloaf Key - Hal Howland: Howland book wins award, gets second edition. SeaStory Press has published a revised second edition of Hal Howland's acclaimed novel Landini Cadence. The book is a finalist in the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, presented on May 24 at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

Landini Cadence and Other Stories: A Rich Castillo Threesome combines the comic tale of roadside sex, murder, and dysfunctional family values with two others featuring cranky Key West detective-musician Rich Castillo: the outrageous Brice Miller's Notebooks, which eavesdrops on a respected Irish novelist trying her hand at erotica, and the short satire "Murder in the Percussion Section," in which someone is going around the country killing successful drummers, using vintage percussion accessories as weapons. The 406-page book is available in a handsome paperback priced at $18 or as an e-book priced at $6.99.

Hal Howland is the author of After Jerusalem: A Story and Two Novellas and The Human Drummer: Thoughts on the Life Percussive. He is the recipient of a jazz fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Virginia, Europe, and the Middle East, Howland lives on Sugarloaf Key, Florida. His Web site address is www.halhowland.com.

June 12, 2011 - Middle Keys - L. E. Shaffer: Journal Week in Review. The official start of any week is Sunday. So this column starts June 5^th. I am going to break that rule right now. From June 1^st through June 3^rd I was in the Miami VA Hospital for laparoscopic surgery on my right kidney to biopsy and burn off a tumor.

The surgery took place June 1^st. I was in the operating suite hooked up to an IV and given something to calm me down. The nurses, doctors, surgeon, and the anesthesiologists all introduced themselves. I was moved into the surgery suite that was very cold. I was transferred to the operating table. I was given O².

I was hooked up to all kinds of machinery. I was paying attention, because I wanted to know when I went to sleep. There was more than just oxygen in the mix. The next thing I knew I was waking up with a breathing tube being removed. I gagged once upon removal but no big deal.

I had the expected Foley catheter. I was given morphine. I got the news that everything went well during the four-hour surgery. I was given this device to breathe in deeply to clear the lungs and prevent pneumonia. Doctor Garcia was calling for my Surgery Intensive Care Unit [ICU] room on the 11^th floor. A nurse came in and wheeled me out onto the 1^st floor to the service elevator.

I arrived at 11AB Surgery ICU. For the next 48 hours, my every need was served. One could get used to this, except for the surgery pain though. After 3 days and 2 nights, I was deemed stable enough to discharge to home under self-care. This is the latest in medical thought, send people home as soon as possible. People heal faster, have less pain, and bills are much lower by doing this. Seems obvious now, but not so long ago hospital stays were longer, much longer.

Made the Journal rounds today Monday June 6^th. I stopped at Keys Grafix for some great conversation and coffee. I went to the Guidance Clinic of the Middle Keys to pick up Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] medical records. I checked in at Advantage Rehab and Fitness to see what I can do with my fitness routine now that I can only lift 10 pounds per doctor’s orders. I went upstairs and somehow convinced the owner of Collector’s Corner to buy a Charter Advertiser Program [CAP] ad account.

I was just thinking. I know that is dangerous. But did anyone remember the city renew the fruit stand permit on the backs of Marathon’s property taxpayers? Since when is the city an insurance company to protect a local business non-profit notwithstanding? I have been told that the fruit stand pays its own insurance. Yes, I knew that, but what I was talking about is risk and liability.

June 7^th, Vice Mayor Dick Ramsay has been the council’s point person for the most part on Port of Entry [POE] issues. The recent Gov. Scott visit offers an opportunity for Ramsay to consolidate ground gained and ask for further support. POE is important to Marathon’s future economically and politically. I am afraid this one is going to take a lot of time to get through all the wickets even with everyone on board. Such is the nature of local and state government.

June 8^th , In my continuing criticism of Marathon’s contracts, let us examine the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office [MCSO]. Our heroes turn out to be quite flawed human beings. Since the Marathon Journal‘s ongoing investigation into MCSO, many troubling facts have become known. Sheriff Bob Peryam does not have the support of the deputies that he leads. Frankly, the Sheriff’s Office up and down the Florida Keys is in disarray with morale slipping daily. Our deputies do not provide a high level of quality service considering the cost of the annual contract. Something has to give. I propose giving the law enforcement contract to the Key Colony Beach [KCB] police force. Given the contract monies involved, the KCB police could expand and serve Marathon and KCB with a much higher level of quality service. After some intense study, this new idea would really work. We cannot accept law enforcement harassing innocent residents any longer.

Over the last six months, I have received many complaints about Marathon Garbage Service [MGS] services, and an increase in per person rate is in the works. The complaints from all over Marathon range from rude employees to garbage-can destructive behavior. What is the fix? I think a proactive customer service-training regimen is needed. Otherwise, we need to speak up at contract renewal at a county commission meeting.

Gov. Scott is Florida’s yahoo governor. Gov. Walker is Wisconsin’s crude governor. If you lump them together, you get Gov. Scott Walker or Walker Scott. Okay, it is amusing to me.

Mario Di Gennaro as county property appraiser sounds quite logical. Will Gov. Scott forget his support of Gov. Crist?

The latest report says coffee drinkers improve their health. Next week coffee drinking will so bad for you. Somebody make up my mind.

Islamorada rejects Key Largo 11.5 million and suggests 3 million. Wow, that is a wide disparity.

June 9^th, my personal Mental Health Care Manifesto: I will not be involuntarily committed ever again be it Baker Act or whatever other nefarious means might be employed. Should a deputy sheriff knock on my door unannounced or announced they need to be prepared to send this combat veteran to heaven straightaway. I own a 9mm handgun. I won’t brandish it or make any threats, but the deputy will need to shoot me dead. I will not be involuntarily committed. That is a promise not a threat. Yes, I own a couple of guns, but I am not dangerous. Never have been, never will be. Besides, a good logical argument would convince me to voluntarily seek help in any case.

[Sarcasm] The Speedo Manifesto follows: There is a prejudice in this country. Whether you are a young man or old man, in shape or not, people frown on Speedo-like swimwear. My mother bought me Speedo-like swimwear when I was a kid in a time of more tolerance and acceptance. I like swimwear of this type simply because I enjoy the whole process. I certainly am not trying to impress or even shock anyone. I am 60, got a slight gut, but I refuse to be limited or impeded by other people. I will however spare you any Speedo thong-like swimwear simply because I can understand seeing my hairy ass could be a horrific event. Other than that, do not say anything out loud or under your breath should you see me in my Speedo on Sombrero Beach. I will call you on it by telling you that as a combat veteran of 25-years, I have earned the right to wear whatever the hell I want. Back off! Whew, glad I got that out of my system.

June 10^th, Ramsay wants beautification budget line item. That is much preferable to a useless referendum on one line-item budget entry. Considering the current loss of property values, little room to cut property taxes without affecting Safety, Health, Environment [SHE], and the local economy, this is one “idear” that should be continued to when an economic recovery is ongoing. Ensuring high quality level of service for SHE items is paramount. Stand down, Dick. Great idea ahead of its time, be patient.

June 11^th, enjoyable Saturday with nothing to do.

June 12^th, Pocono is one of those NASCAR races that occurs on a 2.5 mile track ensuring speeds close to 200 MPH. I like it.

Islamorada Councilman Dave Purdo favors election date change to get more voters at the polls, save some money, and extend existing terms 8 months, although the term extension is not the most important reason. More importantly, perhaps is staggering the terms. I also believe term limits are not helping as originally intended. Make 2- year terms 3-year terms, maximum 2 terms. Another term could be had provided those persons received more than 50% of the vote plus being in the top 2 or 3 spots. Term limits are hurting us not helping.

Why is the Islamorada Free Press much bigger than Marathon’s? I feel short sheeted.

Professional Firefighters of Marathon Local 4396 Union News: July 4^th cautions all apply. From sunscreen, sunglasses, and drinking plenty of water to fireworks safety, beach etiquette, and drinking plenty of water, all these subjects and more will help you enjoy the three-day weekend and not see paramedics. The union firefighters and paramedics will be available at Sombrero Beach to educate, entertain, and serve all Middle Keys residents.

Union members are particularly pleased with the success taking Switlik reading students to school for doing well at reading, of course. Ride-alongs are still a great way to get to know your firefighter’s union, the firehouse, and the best part the emergency vehicles. If you do not know the phone number to the fire station, find it! 911 is for emergencies only; so call the regular fire station number. Really, you all should know and memorize this telephone number!

Lynda Berrigan, Marathon’s consummate activist and volunteer, is currently working on the 100^th anniversary of Flagger’s great railroad story. Mural artists, sponsors, grants, and more are needed to make this January 2012 special event more popular than ever. I have her email address should you want to volunteer and/or contribute.

UPS Store handles about anything concerning shipping, receiving, mail boxes, copying, and, well, you get the idea. I use the shipping side of the business for returns, exchanges, and environmental returns. This business is run by local for locals and hires and spends money locally. They like other family-owned and operated businesses are the backbone of the local economy.

June 14, 2011 - USA - provided by Ted DeLong, original author unknown: Just so you KNOW. Do you know what WD-40 is made of? Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40? Don't lie and don't cheat.

WD-40. Who knew; I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do....probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40'. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts.

WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top. It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

WD-40 Uses:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows. (I love this one!)
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.
11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It       doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some       windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers...
22. Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open.
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans.
28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes splattered grease on stove.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37. Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York , WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Al so, it's a lot       cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced       baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Al so, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry,       saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

P.S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

June 15, 2011 – Florida Keys – L. E. Shaffer: Family first, right or wrong are not mere words. My parents taught my brother and I that family was first, right or wrong. Should a family member be found by a jury to be an axe murder, you do not condone that. You still love that family member and visit them in prison, but that family member reaps the rewards of their actions.

My oldest son, Jeff, does not comprehend what family first, right or wrong means. He listened to non-family members and had me illegally baker-acted. Then he cut off all contact with him and his family, my four grandchildren. My oldest daughter, Lisa, has cut me off from my six grandchildren for nearly three years now. My youngest son, Tommy, is the only one left that really, truly understands family first, right or wrong. How in the world did we get to this point?

I could start where I was born and progress through the details up until today where I am 60.5 years young. Goodness, that process would take a book, not that this book is not coming. I want to cut to the chase in this parable of woe.

What certain members of my family hold over my head is my past. I was about eight when my family lived in Irwin, Ohio. My Grandpa Edwards had a second family. The two boys were Gene and Ronnie, 13 and 7 respectfully. They were my uncles. I was eight.

I was a spoiled kid loved and tolerated no matter what I did. Gene and Ronnie though had concepts of sexuality that went beyond the normal kid stuff. I was having innocent fun when I showed off. They over the course of two years introduced me to sex, their style. Cutting to the chase, I was sexually abused by both uncles during those two years, a trauma still raw and fresh in my mind.

My family and I had moved to Clifton Avenue in Springfield, Ohio, the place of my birth some ten years ago. The year was 1960. I carried with me the still raw scars of the previous sexual trauma. Things were looking up for a kid protected from all harm and never once let out of the sight of my mother and father. I turned ten, and my mother told I was free to roam the city on my bike as long as she knew where I was all the time. This is a seminal moment in my childhood. I was ecstatic.

I mainly went across town and visited my Grandma Haislip. What I thought was complete freedom was actually a controlled freedom. I always wondered why, no matter where I went everyone seemed to know I was coming. I was ten, and did not comprehend the use of telephones. Even with my newfound freedom, I was protected constantly by my mom’s network of relatives and friends. The time was the 60s, a very different world than today. Florida’s Department of Children and Families would have parents arrested for the freedom I had as a ten-year-old.

Those idyllic years came crashing down when I was raped by two teenage boys in the patch of woods right next to my home. I was eleven. I got a pocketknife as a reward for the act forced on me. I buried this trauma well from all others. I entered puberty then scarred and withdrawn. Puberty is hard enough during the best of times. I did not want to grow up and therefore puberty was a trauma all by itself.

I was acting out with other boys my age. I knew no better. Fast-forward to my first naval ship the USS Henry B. Wilson, a guided-missile cruiser. I was twenty-two, young and dumb as well as traumatized. Going out drinking with your buds was supposed to be a cool thing. This guy from the same ship as I but not in my division had a car. He took me on this long drive one evening from the enlisted club. Neither one of us were drunk, although we had a few at the club. After an hour and a half driving, I got a funny feeling something was not right. We ended up on the beach looking out on the Pacific Ocean. He was sitting way too close to me. I thought I was going to be sexually traumatized again right there.

Fortunately, all he did was come onto me and quit when I was unresponsive. I made it back to the ship scared and traumatized once again.

I got married. I fell in love with her about a year later. Strange, huh. We had three wonderful children, Lisa, Jeff, and Tommy. This era was the season of my twenties. I never really grew up beyond those eight to eleven years of age. In the Navy, community service is important to promotion, part of the Navy’s move up or out program. That is a lot of pressure.

I volunteered for a kids program. This is what my son and daughter try to hold over my head. I acted out like the eight to eleven year old that I was. Except now, the interaction was not age appropriate.

You will find no record of this anywhere. I did my court-ordered actions. About three years later, my two misdemeanors were dismissed and all records expunged. I have been seeing mental health care professionals the rest of my life. Yet I am not that screwed up man in my 20s anymore.

I have to report this only if trying to get a job in law enforcement or getting your Navy clearance changed or renewed. The Navy granted the clearance change or renewal despite me reporting the 1970s incidents. Four years ago, I applied for the job as the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office as an emergency communications officer. I had all that Navy experience in this field in combat situations. I was way over qualified, but I got the job and was happy.

As part of that process, I reported the 1970s incidents as required by law. Once I delivered the court document dismissing all charges and expunging all records, we discussed salary. Unfortunately, the sheriff’s office could not offer a salary commiserate with my Naval experience. I had to turn the job down.

I was scheduled for surgery March 9^th 2011 at the Miami VA Hospital to remove something from my bladder that had been there for ten years. Dr. Eaton, my Key West VA Clinic psychiatrist, prescribed Clonazepam to calm me down before the actual surgery. Over the period of 12 through 15 February, the benzodiazepine accumulated in my system. Early morning February 15^th I was in the beginning stages of an adverse reaction to Clonazepam beyond my control. I was in a psychotic break for 12 hours. I was one of the .1% of patients who had an adverse reaction to the prescribed Clonazepam.

That February 15^th from early morning to late afternoon is a whole story unto itself. The pertinent point is when I was illegally baker-acted by my oldest son who listened to non-family members. The deputy drove me to the Guidance Clinic under the building by the elevator. It was then that I was told what was happening. I made the conscious decision that I was not going to be involuntarily committed, especially now that I was out of the Clonazepam episode.

I was restrained on a table with four soft restraints. I was shirtless with my pants pulled down. The two deputies cut off my underwear. They touched and fondled me. Here I am 60-years old being sexually traumatized again.

With the help of my brother not my oldest son, Jeff, I got out and everything has been sane since then. Jeff cut me off from my grandchildren, because of the “drama” of the past situations. No matter how many people told him that it was not my fault, that I did not do this on purpose. Jeff thinks that I did it all on purpose and cut me off from my family.

I was not invited to my oldest grandson’s graduation, not even an invitation card. My oldest son, Jeff, is marrying Beth July 9^th this year. I received no invitation even though I had been invited verbally before the February 15^th nightmare. I guess Facebook is the only way left to me to congratulate them on their upcoming wedding.

Jeff has told his kids not to talk to Grandpa Larry. I did not earn or deserve this further trauma. Yet here we are despite family first, right or wrong.

In my beloved Marathon community, everyone came out in support of me. I lost no Marathon friends. Everyone understood that a prescribed medication caused the break not me doing it on purpose. I never have hidden anything about my past from friends and family. Many Marathoners know the history of trauma throughout my life. I flourish in Marathon in the Florida Keys.

I write this so I can write this life story further in a book maybe but definitely through the Florida Keys Journal LLC. Except for my brother and my youngest son, my family has tried to hold the 1970s as a weapon against me. No longer! I tell this tale publicly and without equivocation. My family might respond with the exaggerations that have accumulated throughout the years.

I do not lie. My character, integrity, and honor remain intact through the last 32 years. I am a completely different man than that person in the 1970s. I still take all the precautions around children regardless.

Even you can be charged with sexual wrongdoing guilty or not if you are not extremely careful around children. The local newspapers will convict you before you even get to a jury. The sheriff’s office will post your mug shot almost immediately upon entering the local jailhouse.

You are innocent until a jury founds you guilty. Remember the constitution? The worse trauma is being innocent throughout the process, and being convicted anyway, in the mind of public, even if exonerated.

I will not let some in my family hold my distant past over my head day and night any longer. Now everyone knows; what more can my son Jeff and daughter Lisa do to me now. I am now suddenly free, and it feels good.

EdwardJones by Leslie I had Leslie Valant take a look at my investments in my grandchildren's college. I had saved each grandchild some money, but I never expected that EdwardJones by Leslie Valant would have some good ideas for my investments. Municipal bonds seem to be a good bet and still maintain liquidity. Her advice for the grandchildren was spot on too. I look forward to the millions that I will make with EdwardJones helping me out. Who knew someone could help improve my financial future? I always try to conduct my business at the Journal advertisers place of business.

June 23, 2011 - Florida Keys - Brittany Elder: TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN LAUNCHES NEW ONLINE VIRTUAL TOURS OF FLORIDA COLLEGES. Media Contact: Michael Goodman/Brittany Elder, Bitner Goodman, 954-730-7730, ext. 105, 122, michael@bitnergoodman.com

Students Now Have Instant Access to Explore 15 Most Popular College Campuses Online

MIAMI, FL (June 22, 2011) – A new collection of virtual tours of Florida’s most popular colleges has been launched by Take Stock in Children, a statewide non-profit organization with a 16 year history of helping low-income and at-risk youth break the cycle of poverty by providing scholarships, mentors and hope. With funding provided by the Helios Education Foundation, this free online service gives students who do not have the means to travel and tour schools the chance to “visit” them online, and consequently eliminates the financial burden and costs associated with individual campus visits.

Available exclusively through Take Stock in Children’s website, www.TakeStockInChildren.org, the online virtual tours will highlight key aspects of various state college campuses in order to assist students during the college selection process. Scholars will be able to virtually visit 15 of the most-attended state colleges throughout Florida including: Brevard Community College, Broward College, Indian River State College, Florida Gateway College, Miami Dade College, Palm Beach State College, Valencia Community College, College of Central Florida, Tallahassee Community College, North Florida Community College, Florida State College at Jacksonville, Santa Fe College, St. Petersburg College, State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota and Edison State College.

“The online virtual tours serve as an invaluable resource to our program participants and all those pursuing a post-secondary education,” says Richard Berkowitz, State Board Chair of Take Stock in Children. “Many of our students are first generation college attendees and are not familiar with the different aspects of a college campus, and this gives them direct access to view the most popular state colleges in Florida at any time.”

The launch of online virtual tours is part of Take Stock in Children’s continued efforts to enhance technology and improve college enrollment across Florida through a $1 million donation from the Helios Education Foundation. Alongside the online virtual tours, a portion of the donated funds are providing students with college survival toolkits and online educational modules in several languages including English, Spanish and Creole.

“The Helios Education Foundation recognizes the importance of preparing students for success through post-secondary education,” says Paul Luna, President and CEO of the Helios Education Foundation. “We are proud to support Take Stock in Children and such an important program that will assist our youth to advance in their pursuit of education.”

“We are excited that Take Stock in Children has launched this online resource allowing students to further explore each college, and thus make a better informed decision about their future studies,” says Will Holcombe, Chancellor of the Florida College System. “It is yet another way that this important organization is helping to provide and increase access to a college education in Florida.”

Students enrolled with Take Stock in Children are identified in middle and high school, and then sign a contract pledging to remain drug and crime free, as well as maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.5 or greater. All students that fulfill these obligations and successfully complete the program then receive full scholarships to a state college or university.

To learn more about Take Stock in Children or to become a valued mentor or supporter, please call 888-322-4673 or visit www.takestockinchildren.org.

May 26, 2011 - South Florida - Alison Higgins: Everglades Nonnative Fish Round Up.

Duncan Auto Mall has been around for over 60 years. The company is an original family owned and operated business hiring locals and shopping locally. Their business acumen in selling and maintaining cars is unrivaled. Be one of the first to purchase or lease the new 2012 electric/hybrid Prius.

June 26, 2011 - Middle Keys - L. E. Shaffer: Keys Animal Hospital Dr. Dunn and Staff: June 23, 2011 – Dr. Mike Dunn has a great business and high quality services. We conducted this interview at the hospital, one of the examining rooms. 305-743-6250. Mon – Fri 8 - 5; Wed 8 - 8; Sat 8 - 12.

Business success is marked by community and family. The Dunns’ have children with Ella 4, Jack 2, and daughter yet to be born with a not- yet firm name of Violet. The new addition will be born at the Lower Keys Medcial Center. I like the name, but I know how a child’s name can be difficult to settle. My youngest son was not named for days after his birth.

LOWER KEYS MEDICAL CENTER
5900 COLLEGE ROAD
KEY WEST, FL 33040
(305) 294-5531
Type of Hospital: Acute Care Hospitals
Provides Emergency Services: Yes

Keys Animal Hospital recent history starts when Dr. Dunn buys into business from Dr. Robert DeField. Dr. Dunn was a partner 2000 and then owner 2008. Both DeField and Van Buren still practice their craft at the hospital.

Dr. Dunn’s focus is owners and pets that are always considered family. That tradition continues. He likes Marathon’s small-town community that treats everyone as family taking care of one another. The most important business concept is one-on-one basics treating people and pets as family.

The Keys Animal Hospital staff is experienced and well qualified. They are Lewis, Bell, Cox, Deming, Romeo, Morris, Hooper, and Martyshyna [Russian]. Yes, Martyshyna is eight letters. There ought to be a rule that limits last names to seven letters or less like Shaffer. I digress, sorry.

This family-owned business offers a long list of high quality services. Cutting-edge technologies like stem cell repair, laparoscopic surgery, oncology, MRI, CT, orthopedic surgery, low-level cold therapy, and more. The costs to customers are minimized through these technologies and new ones to come. This kind of service brings people and pets coming back.

Dr. Dunn is always considering improvements. He wants to modernize equipment on ongoing basis, continued staff triage training, and improving business US1 frontage with new foliage and so on. Cross training staff is essential for high quality services and staff retention.

Keys Animal Hospital is based on a minimalist approach that has worked well the last 37 years. I know from personal experience that you want to wait 24-hours before considering critical life and death decisions.

This business specializes in providing the right information and advice. I still mourn my black cat Ebony who died last year. I know that I will never get over that loss. Consider then how the doctors and staff feel in a situation that must repeat itself almost daily. They lose beloved animals every day.

Owner education is important. Catch it early. Keys Animal Hospital provides excellent preventive therapies, medications, and new technologies.

Dr. Dunn as well as others in our Marathon community put together Safe Harbor Animal Rescue of the Keys [SHARK] to save our animal shelter.

They operate the shelter as adjunct to our community values. I know that I loved visiting the cat sanctuary. I look forward to coming back to enjoy that part of the animal shelter.

Cat and kitten adoptions are currently held in Dunn’s office and Marathon’s animal shelter. The Forgotten Felines organization, among other like organizations in the community, is involved to take our shelter back to the way it was and better. So volunteers, dog walkers, people socializing cats, and so on we are back in business.

And, most importantly, only animals that pose a danger to staff and people or very sick ones are considered for euthanization. That is still a case-by-case determination that is taken very seriously. SHARK hit a homerun against the previous temporary caretakers when SHARK did NOT put out a press release explaining its no-kill policy. Never ceases to amaze me how public relations are not considered in situations of this sort.

I am due to speak at the next Forgotten Felines meeting July 25th, 6 pm, at the Martin Luther King Church behind the NAPA store. I propose as discussed with Dr. Dunn that SHARK, our community, and other vet offices put together a catastrophe fund. No one should be put in a position of choosing dollars over continued health care. Of course, this fund is not limitless and SHARK should manager such a program based on policy set by all the players including community.

Keys Animal Hospital is not just another business. In our community, they are our friends and family in caring for our beloved pets.

Request a ride-along. Now that is a lot of fun, and you even get to learn cool stuff.
