Health Wave

Parents struggling to give their kids a nautical camp expe-rience this summer are finding more financial incentives inthis economic slump.

Camp directors are slashing costs, extending paymentdeadlines and working with parents in ways they never had tobefore — to better-than-expected results. Slots are filling up,even if it’s taking a little longer than usual to do it.

Ken Evans, executive director of Camp Live Oak in FortLauderdale and North Miami, said he’s being flexible in newways such as returning deposits before a camp session startsif the need arises.

“Parents are calling and asking over and over, ‘if I losemy job, will you return my deposit?’ ”

He’s also added a 5 percent discount if kids attend allsummer sessions, and a couple of big ticket draws such as adolphin encounter at Miami Seaquarium and a trip to JohnPennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo to cap off aweek of ocean study.

In a survey conducted this spring, roughly 50 percent ofcamps across the country reported that enrollment was steady,or even improving, said Erica Rohrbacher, executive directorof the American Camp Association’s southeastern division.

“The dollars that parents spend on children are prettymuch the last they cut out of the budget,” she said. “Parentsknow it’s one of those essential things that compliments a for-mal education.”

Rohrbacher also credits enrollment with camps strivingto please. Many are offering shorter sessions and half days toboast the amount of campers signing up.

Other camps are marketing programs that give somethingto parents as well as their kids. The Funky Fish Camp in FortLauderdale, for example, is plugging weekends at a localhotel that includes a welcoming cocktail upon arrival, fol-lowed by a free breakfast the next morning. Then the camppicks the kids up for a day on the boat while parents canremain at the hotel for their own “me” time.

“Everybody needs a break and no body wants to dumptheir kids,” said Sarah Jayne Wynne, camp founder. “Whenthey’re learning about coral reefs, that’s not dumping them.Parents chill while the kids are learning.”

Nautical-themed camps focus on a variety of concentra-tions in sailing, snorkeling, scuba, swimming, marine science,fishing and more. Below is a sampling of what’s available inSouth Florida with rough estimates on costs and dates, whichcould be subject to change:

Florida’s boating deaths dropped sharply in 2008BY BILL KACZORAssociated Press Writer

TALLAHASSEE (AP) — Florida's boating deathsdropped by 30 percent to 54 fatalities in 2008 and offi-cials say they're hoping a study due out in July will offeran explanation.

Last year's fatality total — 23 fewer than in 2007 — wasthe lowest since 2001 when 54 deaths also were recorded,according to a boating safety report released in May by theFlorida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Florida's 2008 death rate of 5.3 per 100,000 regis-tered boats also is the lowest in at least 15 years. The sta-tistics include accidents involving recreational boats reg-istered in Florida.

“Was it because of the economic issues — people notgoing out as much?” said Conservation Commission Lt.Edward Cates. “I can't tell you.”

Officials hope the study being done by the University ofFlorida will provide some answers to that and other boatingsafety questions, Cates said.

He also noted that 21 people have lost their lives in boat-ing accidents so far this year. If they stay on that pace, the

2009 total would top last year's.Maj. Paul Ouellette agreed it's too early to make any con-

clusions but said officers have noticed boaters are tending tomake shorter trips and stay closer to shore since fuel pricesspiked last year.

“It could be a little bit about the economy, it could be peo-ple changing their practices a little bit,” Ouellette said. “I'm arecreation boater, too, and I can tell you I'm thinking aboutwhere I'm going before I'm putting in for that very reason.”

Ouellette said some recent boating accidents that havegotten a lot of media attention also may have caused boatersto be more careful.

Boater education programs and stepped-up enforcementare other potential factors. Ouellette said conservation officers

will be out in force over the summer weekend holidays look-ing for drunken boating and other safety violations.

With more coastline — 1,350 miles — than any otherstate except sparsely populated Alaska, Florida usually leadsthe nation in boating deaths. There's a lag in national statistics,but the report shows Florida's 2007 death toll of 77 againtopped all other states by a wide margin. California was sec-ond with 48.

Florida also continued to lead the nation with slightlymore than 1 million registered vessels last year although thetotal dropped by 16,684 from a record high in 2007.

Drowning was the leading cause of deaths from boatingaccidents last year in Florida, accounting for 70 percent of thetotal. Nineteen accidents that claimed 25 lives were due tofalling overboard.

Although fatalities were down, boating injurieswere little changed in 2008 at 286, just 10 more than theprevious year. The reportable accident total of 657 wasjust 11 fewer than 2007. Property damage thoughincreased 155 percent to $23.3 million due to a fire inMiami-Dade County that caused $15 million in damageto three vessels.

Drowning was the leading cause of deaths from boating accidentslast year in Florida, accounting

BY TAMARA LUSHAssociated Press Writer

LEHIGH ACRES (AP) — Mike Manikchand pointstoward his neighbors — a half-dozen empty, foreclosed-uponhomes, sitting on weed-strewn yards — and he wonders:What will happen if a hurricane slams into southwest Floridathis year?

His answer: “A lot of these places will get destroyed.”Unoccupied, these homes would be defenseless in a

storm; there will be no one to put up shutters, batten downgarage doors and otherwise secure homes. But that's not all.Nearby homes and their residents would also be at risk fromwind-propelled debris.

Lehigh Acres and other communities at the epicenter ofthe nation's housing crisis are coming to realize that this year'shurricane season, which began June 1, represents yet anotherpitfall. Hurricanes could make hazards of thousands of fore-closed-upon houses, and their diminished value coulddecrease even more.

“Here's your choice,” said Julie Rochman, president ofthe Tampa-based Institute for Business and Home Safety.“Spend a little bit of time and money to secure the propertiesto withstand wind and water or not do the right thing and havethe homes become damaged and are valued less.”

In March, there were 281,691 homes in foreclosure inFlorida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, NorthCarolina, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.

Lee County, where Manikchand lives, is among the hard-est-hit counties in the country. A 22-year-old pharmacy stu-dent, he took advantage of a dismal housing market andbought a foreclosed duplex for $36,000.

In coming months, he and millions of others along theAtlantic and Gulf coasts will dutifully track tropical weatherforecasts and stockpile batteries, flashlights and tins of tuna,hoping that hurricanes blow harmlessly out to sea.

But who will secure all the foreclosed homes if a stormdoes approach? No one really knows.

In some cases, a property management company hired bythe bank could do the work. Or it could be a real estate agent,a homeowners' association or even resourceful neighbors whoclear debris from yards and board windows. Yet no state lawsmandate who prepares buildings before a hurricane; even offi-cials from the Florida Division of Emergency Managementsay that securing foreclosures isn't a concern.

“It's not an aspect that we really deal with,” said JohnCherry, the agency's external affairs director. “Our No. 1 con-cern is life safety.”

Quick evacuation will be the priority, not securing vacanthomes, if a major storm looms, others say. But shutterlesshomes can be a major safety hazard in a hurricane. And aregion full of destroyed or heavily damaged homes woulddepress real estate values even further.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fore-casters have projected a near normal year for hurricanes. They

predicted nine to 14 named tropical storms, including four toseven hurricanes. One to three of the hurricanes are expectedto be major.

Randall Webster, director of the Horry CountyEmergency Management Department in South Carolina, saidif a storm does hit, properties in foreclosure could slow recov-ery if the county can't quickly find the owner, “especially if itwere in a neighborhood where others around it were takingcare of business and this one gets in rough shape,” he said.

The issue of who cares for vacant homes during a time ofcrisis seems simple: The legal owner is responsible for secur-

Who will secure foreclosed homes in a hurricane?

Long before Everglades National Park enacts itsslowly developing 30-year management plan — the onewith so much emphasis on saving and healing the wound-ed marine environment of Florida Bay — I want everyboat ramp in the place staffed by rangers. Outfit them withmarine charts, tide cards, lists of the grass flats and bankswhere powerboaters are likely to run aground.

Whenever you or I launch a boat, I want one of thoserangers to show us the locations where we must trim our out-boards up and use electric trolling motors or pushpole acrossflats where the water will be less than 2 feet deep that day.

We need that information so we can’t claim ignoranceas an excuse for tearing up the pea patch with our pro-pellers. We also need to be told where we should throttledown to cruise at idle speed, no wake, to avoid terrifyingnesting crowds of birds.

The new management plan is supposed to be readyfor enactment about two years from now, if nothing snagsits projected timetable. Many parts of the plan will bephased in gradually. Today, let’s talk about what should bedone at the beginning, and even before that.

For months now, I’ve been pushing you to attend pub-lic hearings that Everglades parks superintendent DanKimball and his staff have been running to inform youabout several proposed plans and to solicit your adviceand criticism.

You’ve responded pretty well. Now, here’s my twobits’ worth, beginning with rangers at the boat ramps. Iwant them to know, and to tell us, if a winter norther isblowing the water off flats where we’d ordinarily expectto find 2 feet. I want them to check our coolers for com-pliance with fish size and possession limits. I want themto write tickets for violations.

Does it seem odd to suggest that? Not if you fishFlamingo very much. You might meet a ranger there. Youmight not. There aren’t enough of them now to adequate-ly cover the park’s roughly half-million acres of marineenvironment, much less its entire 1.4 million acres. That’spartly because of the sheer size of the place, and partlybecause of decades of understaffing.

Increase rangersThe National Park Service is supposed to get a good

budget boost in the next federal fiscal year, but it isn’t knownyet how that will benefit Florida’s two national parks,Everglades and Biscayne. Here’s a vote for using the moneyto significantly increase the number of rangers in the field.

For the most part, we’re on our own now because ourgovernment trusts us to know what we’re doing, watchwhere we’re going and keep ourselves honest.

Everyone does that, right? Let’s now take a five-minute break to laugh hysterically and five more to recov-er from the hiccups.

And an extra moment to recall H.L. Mencken’s once-famous remark: “Conscience is the inner voice that warnsus somebody may be looking.”

No rangers, no looking, no conscience. We know already that the management plan will

emphasize reducing (and, we pray, ending) prop scarringof the flats, in large part by designating the shallowest,most vulnerable flats as pole and troll zones. We’re

Rangers needed to make up for public’s lack of conscience

Win some, lose some: TheFlorida Legislature finally caved into regulators’ urgings to makeshoreline saltwater fishing-doersbuy licenses. Ever since the statebegan licensing fishing in 1989, theLegislature had refused to repealthe exemption for those who fishfrom shores, bridges, jetties andpiers — anything attached to land.

On the upside, the shoreline license will cost only$7.50 instead of the $17 charged for a boats-included res-ident saltwater license.

On the downside, $7.50 is a hard hit in the hip pocket ifyou’ve lost your job, your credit cards are maxed out, yourboat’s been repossessed and your mortgage foreclosed.

If you haven’t been evicted yet from your waterfronthouse or condo, you can fish from your own seawall, nolicense needed, until Saturday, Aug. 1.

I report this news with some hesitation, for it depends onGov. Charlie Crist signing the bill that was on his desk whenI asked his public info people about it. They told me Cristhadn’t said if he’d sign or not, just that he had until May 31.

I hope he does, because otherwise I’ll look foolish forwriting on the supposition that he will.

Why wouldn’t he? Well, as a Republican with a senato-rial dream, the governor may feel awkward approving some-thing that he and everyone else knows is a tax by anothername — even though this one is cheap and makes sense.

So next time you see him, pat him on the shoulder andsay it’s okay, Charlie. Not your fault, Charlie. The federalgovernment made you do it.

Don’t be shy about the familiarity. Gov. Crist likesbeing called Charlie. As for the feds making him do it,that’s a good excuse. Dislike it if you like, but the alterna-tive to repealing the exemption is worse.

As we reported here in February, a national registry ofsaltwater anglers was required by a federal law of 2007.The idea was that if the National Marine Fisheries Servicecould find out who’s catching what, it could do a better

job of servicing marine fisheries. Coastal states that license all saltwater fishing-doers

already collect all the data the NMFS wants about their fish-ers. Florida, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland don’thave enough data because they grant a lot of license exemp-tions. Florida comps it for somewhere between 115,000 and185,000 shoreline anglers, if the state’s guess is right.

If the exemption were kept, the unlicensed among uswould have to join the federal registry and pay $25 for it.

In other words, if our states don’t license us, our fedswill and they’ll charge us more. The states have until 2011to solve that dilemma. This one’s doing it with some fore-sight. Don’t you wish we built roads that way?

The shoreline exemption seemed like a good idea 20years ago. It allowed economically marginal Floridianswith a little small change to buy a package of frozen baitand catch a meal or two. It wouldn’t have looked right togouge them for a license.

Pretty soon, though, the Fish and WildlifeCommission’s members and staff realized they neededmore money to carry out their enforcement, research andother duties. Year after year, they asked the Legislature torepeal the shoreline fishing exemption.

Year after year, the Legislature refused. Now it’sgiven in, but at $7.50 a license the FWC doesn’t stand toreceive much, not even if everybody who’s supposed to

pay it follows through. Question: How many people fish only from beaches,

piers, jetties, docks and bulkheads — the land or anystructure attached to it, as the legislation says?

Answer: Nobody knows. FWC guesses there arebetween 115,000 and 185,000, according to other publishedreports. Ted Forsgren, executive director in Florida for theCoastal Conservation Association, guessed there are almosta million of them. I guess that his guess is way too high.

Question: How much money will the new licensebring in?

Answer: Um, let’s see. How much is nobody knowstimes $7.50? FWC’s guess is $900,000. That breaks downto 120,000 license buyers.

I don’t think a $7.50 license is what the FWC had inmind when it asked for repeal of the shoreline exemption.Certainly $900,000 won’t go a long way for fisheryresource conservation in the fourth most populous statewith one of the longest coastlines and all-year fishing.

I still prefer my own proposition to license shorelinefishing-doers for free or maybe just a token dollar. Theirlicense applications would have enabled Florida to collectthe data that the National Marine Fisheries Service wants.That would have satisfied legislators who oppose any newtaxes. It would have freed shoreliners from the obligationto report themselves to the federal government, whichmight know too much about them anyway.

True, it would not have given the FWC budget a

The lone surviving pirate arrested inthe rescue of the Maersk Alabama’s cap-tain is expected to stand trial in the U.S.for the crime of piracy. Media reportsoften say that this will be the first trial ofits nature in this country since the latterpart of the 19th century. With all duerespect, this isn’t technically accurate.

Actually, the last trial on suchgrounds took place in the late 1920s.Moreover, it happened in South Floridawith a subsequent execution occurring inFort Lauderdale. This incident is part ofmy family’s personal history, but I’ll getback to that later.

Some people have questioned thejurisdictional authority of bringing theSomalian pirate to the U.S. for trial. Butthere is legal precedent because unlikemost other criminals, pirates are interna-tionally considered as hostis humanigeneris (i.e. enemies of mankind), and itis generally accepted that they may betried and punished by any recognizednation that captures them. It is a view ofpiracy dating back thousands of years.

In fact in Roman times, a young trib-une named Julius Caesar was captured bypirates and ransomed back to his wealthyfamily. Following his release, the youngCaesar paid for the furnishing of his ownsmall fleet to track down, capture andfinally execute the pirates who humiliat-ed him — all with the approval of theRoman senate.

While most of us view piracy as apart of history, today it’s actually a prob-lem that hits closer to home. Even ifmodern piracy was isolated to theSomalian coast and the Indian Ocean,increased costs for insurance and othergoods eventually touch most consumersin the rest of the world.

Unlike movies that portray theCaribbean pirate as a swashbuckling JackSparrow, the modern version has farmore in common with the characters in“The Sopranos.”

To ply their trade, both illegal drugand illegal immigrant smugglers requireinconspicuous boats to “complete theirmissions.” Generally, they’re stolen froma dock, used once by the perpetrators andthen discarded. There’s also the occa-sional family yacht floating empty on thewater with the owners missing. In thatscenario, it is very likely that the boatwas used for smuggling and the criminalstook advantage of someone’s isolated cir-cumstances, committing an act of piracyto acquire the vessel.

Here’s a few suggestions that couldhelp prevent such a calamity if youintend to be among the carefreeCaribbean boat travelers this summer:

•Should your trip take you out ofsight of land, aim to travel in a convoy.All boats should remain in visual sightand radio contact with each other.

•Whether you’re traveling alone or ina group, file a float plan and leave it witha designated contact who will call theCoast Guard if the itinerary isn’t met. Ifyour itinerary changes, make arrange-ments to call your designated contactbefore the old plan expires and replace itwith the new plan.

•And (do I really have to say it?)make sure all your equipment is in goodworking order and keep more than oneworking radio.

•Should you discover people in whatappears to be a raft, or just floating inwaters far offshore, do not be too quickto bring them on board your vessel.Instead, radio ahead to the Coast Guard

Piracy on the local level

BY BOB E. SHERMANWaterfront News Columnist

Boating has never been a hobby for thefaint-of-heart or wallet. And the currenteconomy has made owning a boat evenmore difficult.

There are alternatives if you still long toget out on the water, including rentals, char-ters and fractional ownership. These optionsaren’t cheap either unless you compare it tothe cost of owning a boat and using it threetimes a year, as many people do.

The best solution, of course, is to havea friend with a boat. If that’s a no-go, youcan take a ride on the Bayside Blaster fromMiamarina for $25, or charter a 150-footmega-yacht for the week at $150,000 plusexpenses. Friends who have gone on theBayside Blaster suggest not sitting in thefront as you may get wet or lose yourlunch. The back seats are more comfort-able. But then again, you are behind theguy losing his lunch.

I don’t have any friends who have char-tered a 150-foot yacht. However, I’m prettysure I would enjoy it.

Recently I contacted several mega-yacht charter brokers to ask whether theeconomy has affected “the other half.”Seven Seas of Nokomis, Fla., confirmedthat business has slowed over the pastyear. Blue World Yacht Charters ofHollywood was too busy to talk. I hope hewas booking charters.

There are some segments of the chartermarket that are doing well. In fact, I left mylucrative career at West Marine to become acharter boat captain. You probably think thelife of a boat captain is glamorous. It’s actu-ally a lot of work and responsibility.

Due to legal advice, my charter startsoff with a safety briefing just like on theairlines. We explain about life jackets andnot smoking in the heads. We explain thatthe boat is a “drug free vessel” and if you

are carrying any drugs to please leavethem at the dock. The airlines don’t men-tion this so I assume it’s ok to bring drugson the plane.

I don’t foresee the need to use “whole-body imaging scanners” any time in thefuture. I could pretty much tell with thenaked eye that the six bikini-clad youngladies on my last charter were not carryingany concealed weapons other than the onesthey were born with.

The gentleman who chartered the boatthought our safety briefing was a little onthe long side. He should listen to the brief-ing I get from my wife before I go to work.Among other things, I am not allowed toapply suntan lotion to female guests, and ifthere is any topless sunbathing, I must walkaround the boat with my eyes closed. I try tocomply, but I have banged my shins severaltimes and fallen overboard twice.

Nevertheless, if you want to feel likeroyalty for a day, for about $200 per person,you and 11 of your closest friends cancruise around the ICW, visit the homes ofthe stars on Star Island, zip around on KeyBiscayne and enjoy drinks served by alicensed captain with his eyes closed, whileyou sunbath topless on the forward deck.

Or maybe you’d opt to stop at a water-front restaurant for a burger. Stepping offyour crewed yacht, the other restaurantpatrons would try to decide whether theysaw you on one of the daily soaps or on“American Idol.”

Or for about the same money and thesame six hours, you and your friends couldfly roundtrip to New York and enjoy a bagof chips and a coke. But you’ll be sitting incoach and you won’t be treated like royalty.

or their local equivalent, describe the situation and ask forfurther instructions before giving other assistance.

Such precautions could prevent more victims of pira-cy in the Caribbean.

Now here’s a bit of local lore: the last person tried andexecuted for piracy in the U.S. was James HoraceAlderman. In 1927 the well known rumrunner shot andkilled two U.S. Coast Guardsmen and a Secret Serviceagent following the interception of his vessel betweenFlorida and Bimini.

His crime was covered under the definition of piracyand according to old maritime doctrine, he was requiredafter his trial to be hanged at the first port he reached afterarrest. The place of his 1929 execution was the old CoastGuard base located at what is now Bahia Mar in Fort

Lauderdale. To this day, it is the only legal hanging everrecorded in Broward County.

One of the Coast Guardsmen killed by Alderman wasVictor Lamby. He had just recently married DorothyHolland, a lady from an old Florida family. After Lamby’sdeath, the young widow began dating Michael Ercolin,another Coast Guardsman and a friend of Lamby’s. Theygot married and had four sons, one of whom was JamesErcolin, who would also become a career CoastGuardsmen and my father.

Piracy remains a local concern in South Florida. And,for me, it also remains a matter of personal interest.

Happy Father’s Day.Mark Ercolin is a maritime attorney based in Fort

Lauderdale. The information offered in this column issummary in nature and should not be applied to spe-cific cases or situations.

expected to comply.And we will – you and I and most guides. As for every-

one else, will they comply if somebody isn’t looking? No, so I want more rangers on patrol as well as at the

boat ramps. Almost everyone concerned with Everglades agrees the

best longterm solution to the problems is public education.The reasoning goes that people don’t really want to runaground, carve up the flats, shred the sensitive marine habi-tats where the food chain begins and where some of the bestshallow saltwater fishing on this entire planet is found.

If everyone who runs a boat in Florida Bay and thepark’s share of the Ten Thousand Islands is made to earna permit by passing a class on navigating those waters,theoretically less damage will be done. Theoretically wewon’t need a lot more rangers to enforce the rules.

I share that dream, but my fantasies have a way of notcoming true by themselves. I still want somebody watching.

A class-and-permit regulation is a near certainty oncethe plan is approved. In the meantime, the non-profitNational Parks Conservation Association has an onlineclass called Eco-Mariner, created to teach the specialskills needed to run a motorboat on Florida Bay withoutrunning aground. Look it up at www.eco-mariner.org.

If I were running Everglades, I would try to have themandatory course and a boating permit system ready toroll the moment the management plan is approved at thetop of the National Park Service. If I missed that deadline,I’d be ready to plug Eco-Mariner into the gap.

Gil Muratori, who attended four of the eight publichearings, proposes giving the class and permit plan sharpteeth like these.

“Periodically making public a list of all those found in

violation to show that the park is serious about its role of pro-tecting all within its jurisdiction. A violation would cause aloss of the permit for a period of time. The public needs toknow that there is a penalty to pay for violating the rules.”

Shout hooray for that.

AlternativesOne of the park’s greatest gems is the Wilderness

Waterway boat trail from Chokoloskee to Flamingo. Oneof the best ideas proposed is to set off a few alternativetrails for canoes and kayaks -— places where motorboatswould be excluded, but I don’t agree with that part.

Backcountry guide Bob Lemay, among others,objects to excluding them. If he can get his skinny-waterskiff into and out of Gopher Creek or Wood River withoutusing a chain saw, he shouldn’t be forbidden. I also agreewith Ann Rougle, a wilderness paddler who opposesmarking those trails. She enjoys the challenge of gettinglost and finding her own way.

Me too, so here’s a proposed compromise: Markthose side creeks only at the ends, where they depart andreturn to the original Wilderness Waterway. That can bedone in one day. I hope Rougle approves, because if I’mstranded in the jungle I want her on my team.

Another top priority: Take the advice of Gil Muratori,Tommy Rogers and others who suggest using Garfield

and Snake bights as pole and troll control zones. Thoseprobably are the best spots to begin testing that concept,beginning with day one. They’re a short run from theFlamingo visitor center.

“They can be easily marked,” Rogers said at one of thepublic hearings. “Furthermore they’ll be very easy to moni-tor, to go back and see if pole and troll zones are helping. I’mwilling to go out there and help put markers in the channels.”

Ranger Tony Terry agrees that the bights should beeasy to identify — and already are: “We’ve picked accesswhere you can look and a landmark and tell if you’re outof a pole and troll zones. You know you’re there by look-ing at reference points.”

Restoration of the worst-scarred grass flats to pristinecondition probably is the goal that will take longest toachieve — it will involve hauling in bottom sand exactlymatching what’s already there — so let’s get started on itas soon as possible. Pick one or two locations for a begin-ning, mark them off limits during the project and press itto completion with all deliberate speed.

Most stakeholders agree that channels need to bemarked better than they are, preferably with modestly-sized stakes bearing red and green pointers to meet CoastGuard specifications. Let’s get started early.

Even if we must wait for National Park Service head-quarters’ approval to add new ones, we can replace exist-ing inadequate markers without waiting, as soon as themoney’s available to pay for them.

The deadline has passed for public commentary onthe alternative management plans under consideration.There’s no deadline for deciding which particular planswill get top priority on the timetable.

Do you have your own ideas about this? Send themto me at witzfish@att.net I’ll pass them along to DanKimball and planning director Fred Herling.

Meet Richard “Rick” D. Gibbs III, 44, an insurance agentand owner of Rick Gibbs Insurance Agency. His primaryhome is in Plantation — an 8-mile boat ride west from PortEverglades up the New River — and he also has a getawayhome in Cudjoe Key in the lower keys

Current boat or boats:A 43-foot Tiara express, a 25-foot Dusky, an 18-foot

Parker, a 13-foot Boston Whaler, an 11-foot NovuraniaTender, and two kayaks.

Where are they docked?Behind residences in Plantation and Cudjoe Key.How long have you been on the water?I have been boating all of my life. The first boat was a 12-

foot aluminum skiff with a 3-hp Mercury outboard I ran at age7 or 8 up and down the New River canal system.

Your earliest experiences on the water?Fishing and waterskiing on the New River back when we

had no manatee zones, and going to the Bahamas — mostoften Bimini with the family.

Where do you like to take your boat now?I do quite a bit of boating in the lower keys, and like to go

to the Bahamas as often as possible. Any chance I get to hopon a boat with friends and family is a good time, and helps torelieve stress and lower the blood pressure.

How far have you traveled on your boat?

We did the best trip ever last summer traveling with theMarineMax group from Pier 66 in Fort Lauderdale to ChubCay, then to Harbour Island, Eleuthera, before going on toSampson Cay and Staniel Cay in the Exumas. We stopped inNassau at Atlantis on the way home. We spent a total of 17days aboard the boat and it was the trip of a lifetime — theonly downside was that diesel fuel was $6.50 a gallon at thetime and we did over 600 miles burning three gallons per miletowing our little boat.

Favorite item on the boat you can’t live without?Family, friends and cold beverages.Whom do you sail or cruise with?Good friends.How much time do you spend on the water?

I try to spend at least five to seven days per month.During the summer we spend five to six weeks boating whilethe kids are out of school — unless of course we have anactive hurricane season and then I am busy at work.

What draws you to boating?Spending time with good friends, family, and nice folks

who love to be on and around the water.Describe your most memorable boating experience.Heading home from a fishing trip in Bimini, the weather

was predicted to be 2- to 4-foot seas, and we went through anasty thunderstorm that kicked the seas up to 10- to 12-footwaves. We were all in 21- to 23-foot boats at the time. Wewere halfway back to Port Everglades, so it wouldn’t havemade much sense to turn around. We had a real adventure, andI quickly had a newfound respect for how nasty the GulfStream can become.

What do you least like about boating in SouthFlorida?

The occasional rude and impatient boater, or those wholack respect toward others.

What do you most like?I believe we truly live in paradise with the vast canals

and waterways and proximity to such neat places to goand things to do. To be able to hop in the boat and go outto dinner, or go fishing and sightseeing is a real treat —especially when entertaining those from out of the areawho are amazed at the beauty of South Florida and thesights to see.

Where would you go if you could go anywhereyou want?

I guess I would dream of traveling around the world on alarge motor yacht loaded with fishing tackle, provisions, andfriends and family!

Fishing license snook stamp fee rises to $10

boost, but the $7.50 license scarcely does that either. The bill making all this happen isn’t just about shore-

line fishing. There’s a lot of hunting stuff in it too. Theother important part about fishing is that it raises the priceof a snook stamp from $2 to $10.

Yes, if you fish for snook you’re supposed to have asnook stamp stuck to your saltwater license. At two bucksa year, it was easy to take. A five-fold increase all at onceisn’t so easy. Even if it is easy, it feels like too much.

Hooray that all the stamp money is supposed to bespent specifically on snook research and directly relatedthings. Hooray for what the state’s snook guru, RonTaylor, and his research staff are doing to understand more

about snook, my favorite saltwater fish, and to protectthem from over-fishing.

I wish the state had been raising the stamp price a dol-lar a year or every other year to get to $10 instead of wait-ing to jack it up by $8 in one blow. Boo to that.

Ah well, you win some and lose some. If you’re ashoreline fishing-doer, at least you have the rest of Juneand all of July to raise $7.50 to buy a license.

What if you fail? You probably can go right on fish-ing from your own seawall and get away with it long pastthe Aug. 1 license deadline.

Unless you have a neighbor who’s running for meanestman in town and knows where to call to get you busted.

ing the property. But communities are already struggling toget banks to mow lawns, much less put up hurricane shutters— if they weren't swiped from the foreclosed home, alongwith appliances, copper wiring and air conditioners.

If the bank hasn't yet taken the title of a home, the prop-erty is in a kind of limbo, and local officials or homeownersassociations may have no legal right to trespass and secure it.And many hard-hit counties don't have the money or man-power to do it.

“Simple logistics tells me [the banks] don't have the staffto follow up,” said Kenneth Wilkinson, property appraiser forLee County, which in March had the third-highest foreclosurerate in the United States, after California's Merced County andNevada's Clark County.

There are some places that are trying to board up win-dows and batten down garage doors, although largely to staveoff crime. Wellington, in Palm Beach County, has gone tocourt to receive the legal OK to board up homes. And in CapeCoral, city officials have passed an ordinance that requires theowner of a foreclosed home to pay $150 to register theaddress and provide a contact number for the person who willmaintain the property.

Palm Beach County Commissioner Burt Aaronson hasasked county attorneys to research whether it is legal to boardup empty homes.

“If we board them up, we're protecting them,”Aaronson said. “Hopefully we will be able to keep someof the value up.”

Aaronson contends that the banks don't always maintainthe homes and doesn't expect that they will in the days beforea storm — and if the county takes over that responsibility, thenhe wants the banks to pay.

“We want to use the full power we have as a governmentto levy the greatest fines that we can to penalize banks for nottaking care of the properties,” he said.

Horry County's Webster says there might be another wayfor public officials to take matters into their own hands.

“If it became deemed a public health issue or public safe-ty hazard, the county would have some legal recourse tosecure it in terms of making it off limits or safer,” saidWebster, whose county includes Myrtle Beach and has seenforeclosures rise over the past year.

Some banks say that they have a plan for hurricanes; JPMorgan Chase says it will use property management compa-nies and bank field employees to make sure properties arestorm-ready. And if the homes are damaged or destroyed dur-ing a storm, said Michael Fusco, a spokesman for JP MorganChase, the bank “acts just like a homeowner” and will file aninsurance claim.

Debora Blume, a spokeswoman for Wells Fargo Bank,said her company hires local real estate agents who have beenassigned to market bank-owned properties to secure homesagainst hurricane damage.

But one real estate agent in the Fort Myers area said theprocess of putting the maintenance work out to bid and thengetting approval from the bank that owns the property mightnot be workable as a storm bears down.

“During a hurricane, we need to get out of town, not waitfor approval for funding to secure a building,” said SuzanneSherer, president of the Realtors Association of Greater FortMyers and the Beaches.

In Lee County, metal hurricane shutters cover a few new,unsold homes. Many empty homes have swing sets in theyard, garbage cans strewn in the driveway and loose roof tiles,all of which could become projectiles during a storm.

Sherer said it would be “devastating” if a powerful stormsimilar to Hurricane Charley, which hit nearby CharlotteCounty in 2004, struck Lee County.

Residents throughout the hurricane zone are worried,especially those who live in foreclosure-dotted neighbor-hoods. Armando Gonzalez, 72, retired from Miami to LehighAcres five years ago.

When asked what would happen to all the nearby, dilap-idated homes if a hurricane hit, Gonzalez grinned.

“I can't do anything,” he said. “Maybe I'll pray. God willsave me.”

Popular San Antonio River Walk doubles in sizeBY MICHELLE ROBERTSAssociated Press Writer

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — For decades, the channel ofthe San Antonio River north of the popular restaurants andretail shops downtown was overgrown and blighted — thekind of place tourists went only if they made a wrong turn.But not anymore.

A $72 million overhaul — essentially doubling the size ofthe River Walk — has transformed the dry weed-choked eye-sore north of the River Walk into a 11/2-mile manicured water-way with whimsical art, benches and fountains that can bepassed on foot or by water taxi en route to attractions upriver.

The so-called museum reach of the River Walk, whichopened May 30, connects visitors from the busy conventioncenter and Alamo area to the San Antonio Museum of Art andthe Pearl Brewery, a retail redevelopment project. Beyondthat, this fall, a path will allow pedestrians and cyclists to keepgoing north along the river to Brackenridge Park, home of theWitte Museum and the zoo.

“The entire river is an artwork,” said Mayor PhilHardberger, who pushed the project and will see it open on hislast day in office. “The river, as it changes character, willassume different shapes and different personalities.”

The River Walk, a bustling development built in the1940s with help from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's NewDeal, is already the most popular tourist attraction in Texas,just ahead of the nearby Alamo. But beyond the River Walk,much of the other 11 miles of riverbed had been neglectedover the years.

Now, visitors will able to ride water taxis from down-town, hailing them from any of the landings, or walk thepaved path past the lock system that raises and lowers theboats so they can move upstream and downstream despite the9-foot elevation change.

Along the way, trees and flowers line the sidewalks withcovered overlooks and water features. A small steel bridgethat once allowed beer kegs to move between the two tow-ers of the old Lone Star Brewery, now home to the art muse-um, was salvaged from the scrap heap and turned into asmall foot bridge over the river, said Boone Powell, the leaddesigner on the project.

The nonprofit San Antonio River Foundation raisedmoney to place 12 pieces of art along the three miles of walk-way. The art includes a 150-foot cement cave-like sculpturewith a waterfall and a school of brightly colored sunfish sus-pended from wires beneath the Interstate 35 overpass.

The pathways are lighted at night, as are many of the artpieces. Two others under bridges are designed to be at theirshowiest after dark.

“The project itself provides a surprise around every cor-ner. To get the full experience you have to go during the day,then in the evening and then at night,” said Suzanne Scott,general manager for the San Antonio River Authority, theagency that manages the river.

Retail and residential development along the museumreach is expected to grow in coming years, but the riverrenovation has already allowed the art museum to open agrand new entrance off the river and has given visitors anew way to access the stores and weekly farmer's marketat the Pearl Brewery.

It's also provided easy access to a historic spot that waslargely hidden before the river walk made it more accessible.

VFW Post 76, the oldest in Texas, occupies a grand two-storycolumned mansion along the river, and its first-floor bar —which opens every afternoon and serves ice cold beer “untileveryone has gone home or 2 a.m., whichever comes first” —will serve you even if you're not a veteran of a foreign war.

The San Antonio River, a waterway so narrow thatHardberger says “some people in the East would probably callit a 'crick,”' begins just north of downtown before it joins theSan Pedro Creek about 13 miles downstream. The waterwaydrew American Indians and later, European settlers, includingthe missionaries who built the Alamo, to the area.

In the 1800s, the river served mills and breweries likePearl and Lone Star, which used the water for power and tomake ice. As the industrial buildings aged, however, theriverbed was largely ignored until the recent restoration push.

The museum reach is the first and most urban of the rede-velopment plans, but officials hope by 2014 to have complete-ly restored the San Antonio River. Sections reaching to thenorthern edge of Brackenridge Park and downriver to thesouthernmost of the five historic missions are in various stagesof development.

“The river is why there is a San Antonio,” saidHardberger. “It connects our city together in a way that noth-ing else does.”

ears notwithstanding, that spot contained the least diversebacteria —19 species on average. The most diverse spot: theforearm, which averaged 44 species.

How many are supposed to live there? That is not clearyet. Some certainly could be tourists, picked up as a persongoes about his day. When researchers rechecked five of thesevolunteers a few months later, the bacteria in some spots —the moist nostril and groin, for example — proved pretty sta-ble while other spots, including the forearm, had changedquite a bit.

Which are good bugs, and which bad? That depends.A common skin bacteria is Staph epidermidis, found allover the body. Segre said it helps protect from its nastycousin, Staph aureus, which about a third of people arethought to carry on the skin or in the nose even if they haveno active infection.

But, back to topography, Staph epidermidis itself canharm if it gets under the skin; it is a common trigger ofcatheter-caused infections.

The research helps lay the groundwork for what doc-tors really want to know: What's different in the skin ofpeople with diseases such as eczema or psoriasis? Those

studies are about to begin, says Dr. Martin Blaser of NewYork University Langone Medical Center, who is leading a

study on psoriasis and performed some first-step studies ofskin bacteria that helped lead to the NIH's census.

Then there is the scrubbing question, society's antibac-terial obsession.

“There's an all-out assault on our normal skin organ-isms,” Blaser noted. “In trying to get rid of the bad guys, arewe getting rid of the good guys?”

Segre hopes knowing there are so many bacteria altershow people think about the relationship.

“I'm a mother of two small children; I believe verystrongly in sanitation, washing your hands,” Segre said. But,

“we have to understand that we live in harmony withbacteria, and they are part of us as super-organ-

isms ... and not just conceive of bacteria asbad and germs and smelly.”

Health WaveBY LAURAN NEERGAARDAP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Healthy skin is home to amuch wider variety of bacteria than scientists ever knew, saysthe first big census of microbes.

And that is not a bad thing, said genetics specialist JuliaSegre of the National Institutes of Health, who led theresearch.

Sure they cause odor, “but they also keep your skin moistand make sure if you get a wound that [dangerous] bacteria donot enter your bloodstream,” she said. “We take a lot for grant-ed in terms of how much they contribute to our health.”

People's bodies are ecosystems, believed home to tril-lions of bacteria, fungi and other microbes that naturallycoexist in the skin, the digestive tract and other spots. But sci-entists do not have a good grasp of which microbes livewhere, much less which are helpful, even indispensable, tomaintaining health.

The NIH's “Human Microbiome Project” aims tochange that, recruiting healthy volunteers to learn whatmicrobes they harbor so scientists can compare thehealthy with diseases of microbes gone awry — fromacute infections to mysterious conditions like psoriasis orirritable bowel syndrome.

The skin research, published in the latest edition of thejournal Science, is part of that project. Scientists decoded thegenes of 112,000 bacteria in samples taken from a mere 20spots on the skin of 10 people. Those numbers translated intoroughly 1,000 strains, or species, of bacteria, Segre said, hun-dreds more than ever have been found on skin largely becausethe project used newer genetic techniques to locate them.

Topography matters, a lot, the researchers reported. If amoist, hairy underarm is like a rain forest, the dry inside ofthe forearm is a desert. They harbor distinctly different bac-teria suited to those distinctly different environments. In fact,the bacteria under two unrelated people's underarms are moresimilar than the bacteria that lives on one person'sunderarm and forearm.

U.S. cancer death rate continued to drop slightly in 2006BY MIKE STOBBEAP Medical Writer

ATLANTA (AP) — The U.S. cancer death rate fellagain in 2006, a new analysis shows, continuing a slowdownward trend that experts attribute to declines in smoking,earlier detection and better treatment.

About 560,000 people died of cancer that year, accord-ing to an American Cancer Society report released in lateMay. The new numbers show the death rate fell by less than2 percent, but since that decline was better than the previousyear, the cancer society applauded the progress.

Others said the change was not a big deal.“The improvement was modest,” said Dr. Michael

Goodman, an Emory University researcher who specializesin cancer statistics.

Cancer is the nation's No. 2 killer, behind heart disease,and accounts for nearly a quarter of annual deaths. The can-cer death rate has been falling since the early 1990s.

The new rate shows 181 cancer deaths per 100,000 peo-ple. That was down from about 184 in 2005.

It takes a rate decline of at least 2 percent to offset pop-

ulation growth and cause a drop in the actual number of can-cer deaths. That happened in 2002 and 2003 for the first timesince 1930. But it hasn't happened since.

The explanation for why the death rate has fallendepends on the type of cancer. For example, better screeninghas improved deaths from colon cancer. Treatment advancesare more of a factor in leukemia death rates. And smokingcessation is the main reason behind improvements in malelung cancer deaths.

“What we call 'cancer' is really a great variety of differ-ent conditions,” Goodman said.

Lung cancer accounted for nearly 30 percent of cancerdeaths in 2006. Cancers of the colon and rectum accountedfor 10 percent, breast cancer in females about 7 percent and

prostate cancers in men about 5 percent.The statistical report is based on the cancer society's

analysis of federal data.Separate numbers on specific cancer death rates for 2006

from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventionsheds more light on the picture. The CDC recently reporteddeath rates fell for:

Lung and trachea cancers, from 54 deaths per 100,000 in2005 to 51.5 in 2006.

• Colorectal cancers, from 18 to 17 per 100,000.• Breast cancer, from 27 to 23.5 per 100,000.Overall, it's hard to know exactly what drives one year's

decline in cancer deaths, because the answer is rooted in thepast, said Ahmedin Jemal, the cancer society official wholead the research behind the new report.

“When you introduce a change in screening or preven-tion, it takes five years or 10 years” to see the impact on can-cer death rates, Jemal said. Treatment advances can have amore immediate impact, he added.

Cancer society officials estimate that 650,000 deathswere avoided from 1990 to 2005 because of the decline inthe death rate. They predict that 1,479,350 new cancercases will be diagnosed in 2009, and that there will be562,340 deaths.

The new report is being released online, and will be pub-lished in the July/August print issue of a Cancer Society pub-lication, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.

BY JIM ROMANOFFFor The Associated Press

If you think just because you use ground turkey tomake a burger it's automatically healthier, you could be infor a big surprise.

Ground turkey has a reputation for being lean, butthere are many varieties available, some with as much as17 grams of fat in a 4-ounce portion. At that point, youmight as well use ground chuck, which is more flavorfuland has only 14 grams of fat.

At the other extreme, you'll want to avoid 99 percentlean ground turkey. It produces dry, flavorless patties.

A good compromise is 93 percent lean ground turkey,which has about 8 grams of fat per serving. But even withthat amount of fat, a turkey burger can be somewhat lack-ing in flavor and moisture, so you'll want to make someadditions to the meat.

Treating this kind of turkey burger as a tiny meatloafis a good strategy. Mixing in ingredients such as ketchup,Dijon mustard, chopped onions and fresh herbs will alladd moisture and flavor.

Mixing in fresh breadcrumbs helps to cut the fat bypadding the meat. They also soak up and retain moistureso it won't cook out of the burger while on the grill.

Some recipes even call for adding 1/2 cup of low-fatcottage or ricotta cheese per pound of lean ground turkeyto moisten things up.

This recipe adds flavor with sweet white miso, anutty, savory Asian paste that's made from fermented riceor barley. Look for it near the tofu in natural food storesand most larger markets.

Fresh ginger and scallions add even more flavor andmoisture, and crispy panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbshelp to lock it all in.

To complete the meal, serve these Asian-style turkeyburgers with a side of coleslaw made with rice vinegar andsesame oil dressing.
