• Letter to the Editor

“What goes around, comes around”BY Roger C. Kostmayer

Watching the US Senate question President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, causes one to wonder which, Trump or Brett Kavanaugh, will be impeached first. The ques-tions hanging over America today are: Is our constitutional democracy viable?; Is anyone (or either politi-cal party) above the law?; Does our judicial system still assure personal accountability - albeit slowly?

A year and a half ago Senate Major-ity Leader McConnell and his hench-men decided to violate the Constitu-tion and precedent by refusing to give

President Obama’s SC nominee, Judge Merrick Garland, a hearing. Today, there is evidence and multiple allega-tions that Judge Kavanaugh lied under oath to Congress during his prior “advise and consent” hearing, which is a felony if proven. These two events connect with the election in November.

If, as polls reflect, Democrats retake the House and possibly the Senate in 50 days or so, they will have both the responsibility and the Constitutional authority to investigate, issue subpoenas and impeach both the President and the newest Justice of the SC if there’s evi-dence of treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors. And there is.

Our democracy must endure, the rule of law must be reaffirmed, accountability must be imposed, and the American people must be reassured that no one - including SC Justices or Presidents - is above the law.

Such a painful purge as impeach-ment will prevent the disaster of having the Supreme Court be or become a political institution. And, following these events, both political parties will be forced to return to proper Constitutional order because failure to do so ultimately proved to be unsuccessful and too painful to both party and country. n

Controversial Mallory Square restaurant plan coming down to the wire. Or not?BY PRU SOWERSKONK LIFE STAFF WRITER

A torturous eight-year battle to allow local businessman Joe Walsh to develop a restaurant and muse-um in Mallory Square

could be finalized next month. How-ever, at least one city commissioner is proposing that the development deal be cancelled and rebid.

Walsh has redesigned the project several times over those years to address concerns from city planners and commissioners about the size and scope of the 156-seat restaurant. However, the Historic Architectural

Review Commission (HARC) denied the project twice, the last time in May 2017 after Walsh’s compa-ny, Tropical Soup, had revised the project to address HARC concerns. After the second HARC denial, Walsh appealed the decision and a special magistrate ruled in Tropical Soup’s favor in August 2017. The city appealed that decision but the special magistrate reaffirmed his ruling in February this year.

There the project has sat. Walsh says he has court-ordered approv-al and a lease contract to build an open-air pavilion bar and restaurant that would involve rehabilitating one of the two cable huts along the west

side of Mallory Square. He also plans to build a Mallory Square historical museum in the adjacent “hospitality hut.” But city Attorney Sean Smith told commissioners at their Sept. 5 meeting that no contract was ever negotiated with Walsh and Smith is exploring whether the “material changes” Walsh made to the project design to accommodate planning board concerns may punt the project back to HARC for a new review.

“I think that [planning board design changes] would obviate the need for any sort of court hearing because that deci-sion by HARC and the special magis-trate would be rendered meaningless by an amended application,” Smith said.

That possibility and the length of time the project has already taken without breaking ground prompted Commissioner Jimmy Weekley to question whether the development of the cable huts should go back out to bid. The deteriorated condition of the three structures in one of Key West’s most-visited tourist areas has several commissioners concerned.

“It’s been going on for a number of years. If either party hasn’t come together on a contract, then I think maybe we ought to look at starting from square one again and go out for proposals again,” Weekley said.

“To add to that, my concern is the buildings have been sitting there in disrepair because we’re not sure if there’s going to be a development there,” added Mayor Craig Cates. “We get com-plaints constantly about the cable hut buildings down there and the income that the city has lost for the taxpayers.”

As part of the contract to restore two of the three dilapidated buildings in Mallory Square, Walsh would pay rent to the city for use of the city-owned property. Other restaurants operating on city property usually pay a base rent plus a percentage of their revenue.

Reached after the commission meeting, Walsh, who is president of Tropical Soup and operates several other restaurants in Key West, said he expects his proposed development plan to be on the city commission meeting agenda on October 2. He pointed out that the project has received approval from the city planning department, the planning board, the tree commission and with the special magistrate ruling, HARC. The last step would be approval by city commissioners. And while there may be some people in City Hall who are against his project, “those people don’t work in the planning department,” Walsh said.

“Tropical Soup and the city have had a contract in place since May 2010. My company promised

to re-develop several parcels at the western end of the square (we proposed a design at the time) and to pay the city rent for the updated restau-rant. The city promised to work in good faith to allow my company to do that. My company has won several legal arguments, and has successfully petitioned and changed the flood zone for that part of Mallory Square,” Walsh said in an email to Konk Life.

Regardless of the outcome of the legal argu-ment, the city has to take steps to project the cable huts, said Commissioner Sam Kaufman.

“Because every day that goes by, every big rain, every big wind, those structures are deteriorating more and more,” he said.

The cable huts, also known as cable tanks be-cause part of the structures were built underwater to preserve the gutta-percha cables, are considered historic structures in Key West; the first built in 1921 and the second in 1930 to store the telephone cables that were first laid in in the early 1920’s and opened communication between Cuba and the mainland for the first time. The history of the huts is also connected to several commercial schooners in Key West, including the Western Union Schoo-ner, which helped lay cable along the ocean bot-tom to Cuba. The huts are a resource listed in the National Register of Historic Places. n

‘Zombies’ on Wheels to Prowl Key West Oct. 21 n Sept 13Several thousand eerily costumed

zombies, best known as “the walking dead,” are to abandon pedestrian pow-er for bicycles Sunday, Oct. 21, during Key West’s offbeat annual Zombie Bike Ride.

A pre-Halloween tradition for visiting and local families and groups, the ride typically draws men, women, children and even a few animal com-panions. They pedal along the beaches and streets of the island city wearing dead-white face paint, gory tattered garments typical of zombie lore and offbeat accessories that range from top hats to tutus.

The wacky event is to begin at 2 p.m. when “Zombieland” opens at Fort East Martello Museum, a reput-edly haunted historic site overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at 3501 S. Roos-evelt Blvd.

The afternoon’s attractions include food and beverage vendors, music, prizes, giveaways and on-site face and body painters to help transform at-tendees into sinister zombies. A kids’ zone is to be set up at the fort with age-appropriate activities.

At 6 p.m., the spooky cyclists are to depart on their ride. The 4-mile route takes them down South Roosevelt

Boulevard beside the Atlantic Ocean, past Higgs Beach and into parts of Key West’s hauntingly picturesque Old Town.

Among the standouts in the 2017 trek were a strange flock of zom-bie-flamingo hybrids, a swashbuckling pirate whose bike platform held his “skeleton crew,” passengers in a fero-cious fanged cart and enough eerie clowns to populate a sinister circus.

As in past years, the unearthly antics are to culminate in the Zom-bieFest Street Party in the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of Key West’s famed Duval Street.

The Zombie Bike Ride takes place on the first weekend of Key West's annual Fantasy Fest costuming and masking festival, a 10-day extravagan-za scheduled Friday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Oct. 28.

Registration to ride in the zany zombie ramble is $5 per person. The fee includes admission to “Zom-bieland” at Fort East Martello. n

Boys & Girls Club to collect disaster relief supplies for Hurricane Florence victims

n Sept 12Boys & Girls Club of the Keys

will collect disaster relief supplies at their Reynolds Street School location in Key West from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily starting Thursday, September 13, in preparation for delivering disaster-relief supplies in areas hard-hit by Hurricane Florence.

Harke says he is also currently work-ing on fundraising for a Florida State Historical Marker for the site. “The De-partment of State, Division of Histor-ical Resources, offers a matching grant program, so of the $2000 total cost, I’m looking to raise $1000. Ninety-five percent of history museums, tours and tourist information is concerned with the European, American, and later Caribbean presence in the islands,” he added. “It's exciting to learn more about

Monroe County launching ‘less than fee’ program for people who own a home and adjacent vacant lot

nSept 14The Monroe County

Board of County Com-missioners approved the creation of a “Less Than

Fee” Program for people who own a home and the adjacent vacant lot in unincorporated Monroe County.

It is a willing-seller program that allows you to retain ownership of the adjacent, vacant lot and use it for legally allowed accessory uses like a pool, open yard or garage in exchange for being paid to retire the

right to build a home on that lot in perpetuity.

Most properties are purchased “fee simple,” which means buying the lands with all rights and privileges. “Less than fee simple” ownership occurs when the owner of the property owns less than all the rights and privileges of the land. Selling the right to build a home on your vacant lot is a particular right that would deem your ownership of the vacant lot as “less than fee simple.”

The County’s Less Than Fee Pro-gram is not complicated. The County

offers a price for the residential build-ing right on the adjacent lot that is the current Market Land Value (MLV) as calculated by the Monroe Property Ap-praiser if you agree to a deed restriction permanently retiring the right to build a home on your vacant lot.

The County will prepare all docu-ments necessary to finalize the transac-tion and will record them for you. The County also will pay for the costs of the title search and all recording fees.

The Willing Seller Process has four steps:

1. Fill out the Less Than Fee ap-plication that is on the County website at www.monroecoun-ty-fl.gov/lessthanfeeprogram and submit it. Or you can mail a printed version of the filled out application to the Monroe County Attorney’s Office, c/o Paul Witkiewitz, Assistant County Attorney, 1111 12th Street, Suite 408, Key West FL 33040 or email it to [email protected].



2. The County's Plan-ning Department will conduct a preliminary review of your prop-erty to determine its eligibility for the program.

3. If eligible, the County will send you a stan-dard contract to pur-chase your building rights of your vacant lot. Once you have returned the signed purchase contract, the Monroe County Land

Authority will conduct a title search at the County's expense.

4. The County Attor-ney will review and approve all completed documents. All con-tracts are subject to final approval by the County Commission at a public meeting.

Due to state and federal regulations, unincorporated Monroe County has a limited number of residential build-ing permits that it can issue

to those seeking to build a house on a vacant lot. The Less Than Fee Program was created with the purpose of retiring potential residential building rights on vacant land that could adversely affect the County’s environment, roads and hurricane evacuation.

For more information about the program, go to www.monroecounty-fl.gov/lessthan-feeprogram or contact Paul Witkiewitz at 305-292-3470 or [email protected]. n

41 More canals approved for Hurricane Marine debris removal project in the Florida Keys

n Spet 14The U.S. Department of Agricul-

ture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has approved 41 more canals for the Monroe Coun-ty-led $49.2 million project to clean-up Hurricane Irma marine debris.

This is in addition to the 103 most-impacted canals in the Keys that NRCS already had approved in the first phase.

In the first month of the project, more than 2,280 cubic yards of vegeta-tive and construction/demolition debris have been removed from 23 canals.

The funding is from the NRCS’s Emergency Watershed Protection Program.

Nine crews have been working in six geographical parts of the Keys called Damage Survey Report (DSR) areas. The hurricane marine debris is

being taken to nearby debris man-agement sites before being hauled to Homestead for proper disposal. The first haul-out to the mainland will begin next week.

For up-to-date information on the cleanup, including a master schedule of the work and the list of canals to date approved for this project, go to www.monroecounty-fl.gov/irma-canalcleanup. The master schedule should be viewed on a computer due to the amount of information.

A total of $49.2 million is available under this grant ($45.9 million for ma-rine clearing activities and $3.3 million for monitoring). It is divided as follows: $35.2 million for unincorporated Mon-roe County, $7.5 million for Marathon and $6.5 million for Islamorada.

Tavernier-based Adventure Envi-ronmental was hired by the County to

lead the cleanup that is scheduled to last 220 days. Adventure Environmen-tal and subcontractor Arnolds Towing of Stock Island have a combined work-force of about 60 people committed to the project using 4 grapple trucks, 5 sonar boats and 15 barges specifically built to perform in the Keys environ-ment with minimal impact. Wood En-vironment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. is monitoring the work. n

The WifeMarital discontent has a long history in print and film. Few sub-jects are more potent with pathos and poison. “The Wife” directed by Björn

Runge and adapted from a novel by Meg Wolitzer is an unsparing look at a thirty year marriage and friendship. From the first second to the last, it is unrelenting.

Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce) is an aging writer. One night in the wee hours, he gets a long distance call. It is the Swedish Academy. Castleman has won the Nobel Prize in Literature. A dumbstruck Castleman asks to hum-bly hold the call while his wife, Joan (Glenn Close) gets on the other line. It is no dream. Castleman is set to receive the most prestigious of prizes.

But all is not as ‘winning’ as it seems.

Gradually, instance by instance, we see that although Joe loves his wife, he is cold and even dismissive treat-ing Joan with a rote formality. This

coolness extends to his bohemian son, David (Max Irons) who has writing aspirations of his own and gets only cursory responses in return.

Castleman is happy to bask in his newfound glory, stuffing himself with the complementary pastries and chocolates at the Swedish hotel, while perusing the library of his famous books. But why can’t he recall the names of his characters? It is the plane trip, certainly the jet lag especially at his age.

Joe goes to the orientation meeting and is appointed with many aides to help him along the awards process. One of them is a young photographer Linnea (Karin Franz Körlof) and what’s the harm with a little flirting?

Meanwhile Joe is increasingly dispassionate with his spouse, only to publicly gush at speeches.

Joan simmers.The audience is left to play detec-

tive as to how it all happens and this one of the joys of the film. Just what is going on between the couple? Is Castleman losing it or is it a ploy for sympathy? With such resentment why are they married at all?

In between the hissing, there are wonderful moments showing the couple during the 1960s. Young Joan (Annie Maude Starke) and Joe (Harry Lloyd) were literary, sneaky and very in love.

Terrific too is actor Christian Slater who as the obsessive biographer Nathaniel Bone, is neither honest nor unkind. As with all of the charac-ters, their true natures are left to the viewer, very much in the way of an existential tale of suspense.

Glenn Close has never been better and Pryce is a perfect match. “The Wife” belongs in the same company as “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Kramer vs. Kramer”. Unlike those excellent films however, the pushes and pulls of the characters here are blurry

and mercurial with plenty of positives and negatives, very much like life.

This is a super-charged and pow-erful film, not to be missed, and husbands may well avoid the eating of walnuts for months to come. n

Juliet, NakedDirector Jesse Peretz has a like-

able romantic comedy with “Juliet, Naked.” The film is smooth and jovial and while it may not break any new

Returns to the Hog’s Breath Saloon

Jessie Brown, a singer-songwriter from Indiana, returns at the Hog’s Breath Saloon, 400 Front St., Sept. 24 - 30, taking to stage for the late-afternoon gig, 4:30 – 8:30 p.m.

Growing up in the heartland of Indiana, Jessie has been passionate about music since she was a little girl. Her family was part of a touring southern gospel group, and Jessie traveled and sang with them start-ing at age three until she was 13. “I didn't have what people probably think of as a traditional childhood,” she says. “But I feel so privileged to have had a background like that. I learned to love being on stage.”

It was also through her family that Jessie discovered a love of country music. “I always listened to a lot of

country music growing up,” she says. “My aunt and several members of my family always had it going.” She also says that southern gospel and country music have threads of the same roots, so writing and performing her own country songs feels very much like home to her.

Jessie knew that she wanted to be a country artist when she took the stage and performed the first song she wrote. “Music has always been a part of my life, but singing my own song was such an adrenaline rush,” she says. “I thought, this feels good and this feels right. It's what I was created to do.”

Come on in to the Hog’s Breath Sa-loon and meet the country sensation, Jessie Brown, for yourself. n

Miles Mancuso Band at the Hog’s Breath Saloon

The Miles Mancuso plays the Hog’s Breath Saloon’s outdoor stage, Sept. 24 – 30, 9PM – 1AM.

Myles Mancusco is a nationally recognized prodigy who fronts his own band, singing, playing guitar and keyboards. He is considered one of the top 10 guitar prodigies in the world. He has been performing professional since the age of 10.

Mancusco has performed at some of New York City’s top bars: BB Kings

in Time Square, the Cutting Room, the Bitter End and others

He has been nominated for an Emmy in 2012 and won a Cable Telly Award.

Mancuso’s show has been described as a Rockin’-Rhythm-and-Blues event. And also its been called a updated funk/rock twist on traditional Ameri-can sound.

Mancuso’s recently released CD is “Truth.” n



ground, it has a solid cast that keeps the mildly madcap events breezy and entertaining.

Annie (Rose Byrne) is romantically involved with her live-in boyfriend Duncan, a film professor (Chris O’Dowd) who is a passive lover but an obsessive fan of Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke) a reclusive musician.

Annie yearns for kids but it quickly becomes clear that Duncan would much rather get dreamy over Crowe’s voice than coo over a newborn infant.

One day at Duncan’s college, he has an affair with a fellow faculty mem-ber. Annie has had it.

Out of the blue, Tucker Crowe con-tacts Annie about a music review and an internet friendship develops. Crowe travels to London to meet Annie.

O’Dowd does a fine job as the self-centered one who just wants to lie in bed and listen to music while Hawke does well as the jaded musi-cian who wishes he could still afford to be a night owl.

Much of the comedy focuses on Crowe finally wanting a quiet life in the midst of all of his exes and kids, while Annie craves excitement. The jokes frequently hinge upon everyone talking at once, miscommunicating and losing patience. While the shouting is not for all tastes, the story is brisk and the plot is well timed, even though one wishes for less formulaic events.

The film is boosted by Hawke who embodies his dysfunction with spirit. What was once a smidge zany becomes serious and there is real melancholy in him which grounds the story.

Though “Juliet, Naked” feels like light fare from Woody Allen with the mopey Duncan slinking around, the strength of the acting keeps one intrigued.

Ultimately you feel the most for Annie. While being constantly sur-rounded by self absorbed men, she alone seems to have made the only real change, the only step forward. n

The Beach boys head to the Southernmost City of Key West

Rams Head Promotions is proud to announce The Beach Boys at the Sun-set Green Event Lawn on April 4th

After 57 years as one of the most iconic bands in the United States pop scene, The Beach Boys, captained by Mike Love, are hitting towns all over America, almost non-stop, and that will continue on into 2019. Love, now 77-years-old and showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, will lead The Beach Boys into 2019 with shows in Florida, one being a stop in the southernmost city of the US, and then a trip to the United Kingdom to follow that.

Mike Love hasn't stopped making music either, releasing his second solo album in 2017 titled Unleash the Love. He also has a biography he leased in 2016 titled "Good Vibra-

tions: My Life as a Beach Boy," which happened to coincide with founder Brian Wilson's "I Am Brian Wilson" autobiography. The two men have been at odds and both have toured as The Beach Boys over the years.

The last Beach Boys studio album hit in 2012 titled That's Why God Made the Radio, although the band has also released a classic live album every year since 2013 -- each new live album from exactly 50 years before.

The Grammy® Award-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, The Beach Boys are led by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, who, along with musical director Scott Totten, Jeffrey Foskett, Christian Love, Tim Bonhomme, John Cowsill, and Keith Hubacher, continue the legacy of the

Works of American Photographer Walker Evans on display at Custom House Museum through October 10

n Sept 12A selection of prints captured by

Walker Evans, an American photog-rapher recognized for pioneering a documentary style of photography during the Great Depression on behalf of the Farm Security Adminis-tration, is currently on exhibit in the foyer at the Custom House Museum. “3 Weeks in Cuba: Walker Evans & Ernest Hemingway” features 12 of Evans’ 46 images taken while on assignment in Cuba, and reveal a visual account of Havana in 1933.

Considered one of the greatest photographers of his time, Evans' straightforward precision in his ap-proach to portraiture and documen-tary redefined the genre. A literary

thinker, most of his images were shot for books, magazines, articles, and essays. Some of the prints in the Custom House exhibit were includ-ed in the book “The Crime of Cuba,” published in several magazines, and featured in other gallery exhibitions. They form part of the larger col-lection of 46 on loan by Key West local Benjamin ‘Dink’ Bruce, whose family were longtime friends of the Hemingways.

Evans, who was on assignment in Cuba for “The Crime of Cuba,” an expose of the corrupt regime of President Gerardo Machado, feared the images could be confiscated by Machado operatives. Evans en-trusted the 46 images to Heming-

Fans of Walker Evans can explore the Havana of 1933 through his eyes in, “3 Weeks in Cuba: Walker Evans & Ernest Hemingway,” which will be on display in the foyer of the Custom House Museum through October 10, 2018. (Photo courtesy Key West Art & Historical Society)

BY J E F F J O H N S O N n P A U L A F O R M A N

Don’t Look BackDear Short Answers:I have a wonderful family with 3 kids, 5

grandkids and a terrific husband. I’m not sorry about any of the decisions that I made but I am feeling more and more like I didn’t fully explore the alternatives that seem to be available to peo-ple nowadays. I certainly never plan to leave my husband or abandon my current life but is there any way that I can see what I might have been missing without losing what I already have?

Ruth with RegretDear Ruthie:No. There is no way to see

where another road might have led — and remember what hap-pened to Lott’s wife.

We Cry "Foul"Dear Short Answers:I do a lot of traveling and like

to take my dog with me. My dog is a little too big to stow under the seat on airplanes so I got a “Ser-vice Dog” certificate that lets me keep him at my feet without having to put him in a pet carrier. Technically, I guess I don’t “need” to travel with my dog but my life is certainly a lot nicer when he’s along. Since the doctor I went to for the cer-tificate was quite willing to give it to me, I don’t think I’m “breaking the law.” But friends tell me that it’s wrong to do this since I’m not really emo-tionally or physically disabled. Are they right?

Love da BabyDear Love:Perhaps you are not breaking the law (but

perhaps your physician is) — it is about abuse of privilege and community. Your dog on board means someone else’s dog (who may really be disabled) won’t be. There are airlines that allow dogs in the cabin for a fee, and those that provide climate controlled accommodations (also for a fee). We are very doggish and prefer traveling with ours as well, but claiming disability and free benefits that belong to others seems piggy, not doggish.

Importance of Being Equal

Dear Short Answers:My husband’s mother comes from the old

school where a wife was completely subservient to her husband. So despite the fact that I make just as much money as my husband does, she treats me like a second-class person. I wouldn’t mind this so much because we don’t see her very often but the problem is that my husband treats me

the same way when his mother is around. I’ve asked him nicely to stop but he swears he doesn’t act any different when she’s around (which is NOT TRUE!!!). How do I get him to treat me like his equal even when his mother is in the room????

Equal PartnerDear Equal:He is obviously regressing to a

childhood (and childish) pat-tern around his mom. Lighten

up. Gentle teasing or perhaps a private signal when he lapses into disrespect might work. And for the record, we think equal partnership is an entitlement that is not necessarily based on equal earnings.

Since You AskedDear Short Answers:What’s the best pick-up line to get a girl’s atten-

tion in a bar?Joe Dear Joe:“Tell me about you…” Then listen! It’s a show

stopper. Life is complicated. “Short Answers” isn’t. n

forming an ephemeral friendship. Hemingway even loaned Evans mon-ey to extend his stay in Cuba when his assignment money ran out.

The images capture a range of micro and macro information and reveal the context of Havana’s 1933 culture, doing with images what a writer might do in words. Beggars, children, café patrons, fruit cart vendors— the images relay “Cuba’s people, its ethnic diversity, its shops, professions, the look and feel of its street and urban life,” says Society Curator Cori Con-vertito, PhD.

“Life for Cubans in the 1930s was tumultuous,” she says. “Their polit-ical system was in the midst of an upheaval, but for visitors it was an entirely different experience. Havana was a flourishing and fashionable city which attracted many literary and

musical greats, along with some of Europe’s most distinguished luminar-ies and personalities. The dichotomy of the poor residents alongside the well-heeled visitors shaped both Ev-ans’ and Hemingway’s experience in Cuba in 1933.”

Though Hemingway and Evans nev-er corresponded nor met again, those weeks in Havana had a lasting effect on each of them, and over the years, they commented on their friendship and time together.

“3 Weeks in Cuba: Walker Evans & Ernest Hemingway” is on dis-play in the Custom House Museum Foyer through October 10, 2018. For more information, call Cori Convertito, Ph.D., at 305.295.6616 x 112 or visit kwahs.org. Your Mu-seums. Your Community. It Takes an Island. n

Federal lawyers: Gulf oil leak spills much more than thoughtBy JEFF AMY and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press

Federal government lawyers say a 14-year-old leak is releasing much more oil each day into the Gulf of Mexico than officials previously claimed, and it may be getting worse.

A Friday court filing in a case involving Taylor Energy Co. says 10,000 to 30,000 gallons (37,000 to 113,000 liters) daily is leaking from multiple wells around a drilling platform toppled by 2004's Hurri-cane Ivan.

That estimate if far above the 16,000 gallons (60,500 liters) of oil that the U.S. Coast Guard estimated in 2015 had been spotted in slicks over seven months.

The government cites a report it commissioned from a scientist who has studied satellite images of per-sistent oil slicks and sampled floating oil at the site about 10 miles (16 kilometers) offshore. That report also suggests that while the amount of leaking oil decreased after some wells

were plugged in 2011, the leak may be getting bigger again.

"There has been an uptrend of the areas of the slick during the last two years," wrote Oscar Pineda-Garcia, who runs a company that maps oil spills and is an adjunct professor at Florida State University.

New Orleans-based Taylor said only 2 to 3 gallons was leaking daily out of mud on the seafloor. Spokes-man Todd Ragusa said the company disputes the government's new esti-mate and will respond in court.

"The government's recent filing is completely contrary to the compre-hensive, sound science acquired by world-renowned experts, including those regularly relied upon by the government," Ragusa wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

A 2015 AP investigation revealed evidence that the leak was worse than the company, or government, had publicly reported during their secretive response. Presented with AP's findings that year, the Coast Guard provided a new leak estimate

that was about 20 times larger than one cited by the company in a 2015 court filing.

Friday's court filing also says Taylor and the Coast Guard met in August and discussed plugging more wells as part of an effort to eliminate the persistent oil sheen seen at the site. The wellheads are more than 400 feet (120 meters) underwater and buried under 60 to 100 feet (20 to 30 meters) of mud.

Taylor sued the government in January 2016 to recover millions of dollars it set aside for work to end the leak. The suit claims regulators violated a 2008 agreement requiring the com-pany to deposit approximately $666 million in a trust to pay for leak re-sponse work. The company argued the government must return the remain-ing $423 million. The government's lawyers disagree, though, saying no change to the agreement has been made and the money should remain on deposit until the work is done.

"The trust requires — and has always required — that Taylor complete all of

its decommissioning obligations before the trust can terminate. The United States' denial of Taylor's request for a release from its existing obligations does not constitute an imposition of a new obligation," the lawyers wrote.

Waves whipped up by Ivan trig-gered an underwater mudslide that buried a cluster of oil wells under treacherous mounds of sediment. In 2011, the company finished drilling a series of "intervention wells" to plug nine of the wells.

Using Coast Guard pollution re-ports, West Virginia-based watchdog group SkyTruth estimated in Decem-ber that between roughly 855,000 gallons (3.2 million liters) and nearly 4 million gallons (15.1 million liters) of oil spilled from the site between 2004 and 2017.

Garcia writes in his report that the oil is thick enough that people need to wear respirators because of fumes. He says bubbles of not just oil, but natural gas is reaching the surface, while his report shows pictures of thick, brown oil emulsions in some places. n

Death tolls often rise weeks after storm hitsBy JULIE WATSON, Associated Press

More than six months after Hur-ricane Irma's catastrophic rampage across the Caribbean and the south-eastern United States, the number of deaths attributed to the storm increased to 129 — more than twice the amount reported at the end of the storm.

It took years for Hurricane Katrina's death toll to become fully known. That number is still debated today with fig-ures used by disaster agencies varying

by as much as 600 deaths.And while the change in the num-

ber of dead from Hurricane Maria is perhaps the most dramatic — rising from 64 to a 2,975 after the Puerto Rican governor commissioned univer-sity researchers to review the count — it's common for death tolls in natural disasters to escalate weeks and months later because of deaths indirectly caused by a storm.

Those can include things like infec-tions from contaminated water, elec-trocutions from downed power lines

and failure to receive dialysis because of power outages. Deaths directly linked to a disaster include drownings from a storm surge or being crushed in a wind-toppled building.

"Sometimes we may never know how many deaths really occurred," said Susan L. Cutter, director of Haz-ards & Vulnerability Research Insti-tute at University of South Carolina.

On Friday, President Donald Trump falsely accused Democrats of inflating the death toll from Hurri-cane Maria to make him "look as bad

as possible." He said 18 people had been reported dead when he visited the island on Oct. 3, two weeks after the storm hit, though the U.S. ter-ritory's official death toll was raised to 34 later that day. After that, it climbed to 64.

"FIFTY TIMES LAST ORIG-INAL NUMBER - NO WAY!" he tweeted late Friday.

Unlike tornados that destroy a relatively small area, hurricanes pose challenges in getting a count quickly be-

cause of the vast regions that the storms affect, according to disaster experts.

Flooding can mean places are under water for weeks, hiding the dead. Some people may be swept miles away from their homes. People may not be reported missing because friends and neighbors believe they evacuated and decided not to return.

The poor, disabled and elderly are at most risk after a storm hits because they often don't have the means to get out and are unable to get to food, water and medicines. Those are the deaths that commonly are added later.

The poorer the community, the tougher it is to get an accurate account because people are overwhelmed with dealing with the immediate crisis and don't have the resources to document

the dead. Death tolls in some devel-oping countries vary by the tens of thousands because typically it's not known how many people were actually ever living in affected areas.

Trump suggested that in Puerto Rico, many deaths had been added later "if a person died for any reason, like old age."

There are discrepancies in how the deaths are recorded but disas-ter experts say that often causes an undercount. If a drowning on a death certificate does not link it to a storm, it may not be counted.

Puerto Rico's initial count of 64 included only people whose death cer-tificates cited the storm. Outrage from thousands of families who said they had lost loved ones due to post-storm

conditions pushed the territory to hire George Washington University to study how many more deaths than usual has occurred after the storm.

The university said it was an esti-mated 2,975 deaths, a figure that has been roughly corroborated by other, similar studies.

Long before Trump raised the question, there was debate over which deaths to attribute to a disaster.

The direct death toll from Irma stands at 47 across the Caribbean and Southern U.S., according to the Na-tional Hurricane Center. An additional 82 deaths — 77 of them in Florida — were indirectly caused by the storm.

The deaths included 14 people who died at a Florida nursing home that lost power and air conditioning. Other deaths were caused by falls during storm preparations, vehicle accidents, carbon monoxide poi-

soning from generators, chain saw accidents and electrocutions.

It also took years to assess the death toll from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 despite the relative accessibility of the Gulf Coast. About 1,800 died from Katrina, though some agencies still list it at 1,200.

The lesson is that realistic death tolls from storms take a while, said Princeton University hurricane sci-entist Gabriel Vecchi, who said when he heard about a death toll of only six from Hurricane Maria a year ago, he and his colleagues "knew that it couldn't be right."

"You need to be careful on plac-ing too much stake on preliminary numbers," Vecchi said Saturday. "This is a disaster area. We don't have a full sense of what goes on until a considerable period later for many obvious reasons." n

• Rescue Tails

“When Bulldogs Fly: Lupita”BY TAMMY FOX-ROYERExecutive Director Florida Keys SPCA

Fear is a powerful force and can change the course of one's life. That's what happened to a young Bulldog named Lupita. She was brought to the shelter when her family could not take her where they were moving. She was a heartbreaker from the start. Trembling in the corner, unwilling to move, she was terrified of everyone. While most dogs are initially fright-ened and overwhelmed when they ar-rive, within a day or so, they begin to settle in. Not Lupita! Her fearfulness was global, and everything seemed to scare her. Thanks to our staff, she began to loosen up a bit with us and eventually seemed more relieved than scared if we would simply sit and allow her to interact when she chose to. But putting her out in a play yard or taking her for a walk was out of the question. She would tremble and drag us back to her kennel, which had become her "safe space".

Lupita also had some big challenges when it came to house training. Her kennel was a daily challenge to keep clean, much worse than most. We discovered that she would never go to the “bathroom” if anyone was around,

only when she was alone. (Note: This kind of behavior can be the result of punishment during housetraining. The puppy (or dog) is caught elimi-nating in the house and disciplined in a way that may not be extreme or cruel by our standards but can still be traumatic and scary to a sensitive puppy. The pup quickly learns it's too scary to go in the presence of people, and then finds a place where no one

is watching to feel safe enough to go. Sadly, this is not uncommon.) Per-haps this was Lupita's early house-training experience. So not only was her fear an obstacle to adoption; so was her lack of housetraining, a deal breaker for many potential adopters.

As the weeks passed, she gained greater trust in us, becoming more affectionate and even puppy-playful at times. Eventually someone came

along who had lost their senior Bulldog and was home all the time to help with housetraining. We felt it would be a good situation for Lupita. so we sent her home. Unfortunately, her more-confident behavior did not transfer to the new home. Her fear was too great, and she was returned to us.

At this point, we reached out to one of our wonderful Bulldog rescue partners who knew the breed well, hoping they might be able to help us. As luck would have it, one of their most experienced foster families had space at the time and the right situa-tion. The only problem was they were eight hours away! But that didn't stop these caring and committed people from helping her. A local veterinarian and friend of the rescue was contact-ed, and she offered to fly to Key West personally and pick up Lupita! So, our little girl took to the air and traveled across the state to a new life.

It’s been weeks now, and it sounds like she has found a new home. What was to be only a temporary foster home may now become a permanent one. The family is in love with her. She's begin-ning to show her "I couldn't-be-hap-pier" wild and playful side, is having fewer potty accidents, and even just had her first birthday party. Life is now good for "Loopy" and this time, we think she's home to stay.
