CONVERSATION Whrh A FHIENCI — CAy DAITON BY PHOEBE COAN I HAVE KNOWN Gayla (Gayl-ya) Dalton over a 20-year span as a friend. She is a schoolteacher, presently at Glynn Archer teaching third grade. She is a person of great warmth and compassion. She has always encouraged others. She is one of the few people I know of who has been able to stick with meditation as a way to a clear mind. And she is one of the few people I know who does not judge others. Her caring about you is a constant, a dependable thing. When I arrived for our interview one evening recently, she had been medi- tating. "I didn't know I was meditating,' she said, coming to the door. ','* loving light source," she says, "that liberates people from their prejudices." There is something of the child in . her sweet Southern expression that reaches out and touches others. It is always there. The- hands at rest are veined, tanned, artistic. She is open to sug- gestions, and you can talk to her and she will listen intently, inspiring, the best ideas to come through. The door to her heart is always open. A CHILD OF THE OZARKS, Gay was born at Greenwood,. Arkansas. Much of her growing up time was spent happily with her three brothers, climbing trees and playing football. "1 liked the woods Both her parents are part Indian. Her dad was the rural mail carrier for a few years. "A quiet man, serene and gentle," she says. "We moved when I was eleven." Her dad got a job 30 miles away as a postal clerk. On his route, which was a social event for the rural people, he would receive vegetables, eggs, water- melon, and plenty of conversation. GAY HAS ALWAYS enjoyed freedom and solitude, but claims that contact with others through meaningful communication has been a "deeply important experience for me, but sometimes I'm loneliest when I'm with a lot of people and I feel I can't be who I really am comfortably.

' As a vitalized teacher, she is cultured and well traveled with the eye of an artist, and the-sensitivity of a poet. She has been twice married and is pre- sently single. Her home on Cornish Lane is cozy and warm, graced by earth tones, woven rugs and her own works of art. ONE CAN EXPERIENCE Gay's peace here, and the childlike sensitivity her stu- dents have helped her bring out. A pe- tite, curly-haired brunette, I see her wi-th her head posed upwards, like the plants receive light, smiling beautiful blue-greenish eyes. "There is an all- ...... 11 and baking potatoes in the coals of a campfire. The well water was great, and we had a smokehouse ,* garden, chickens, pigs, and home-churned butter and butter- milk. The country in her still remains, to be shared with the children she has known. Her mother canned, and most of -• what they ate was grown around them. "I felt fortunate t*o have lived with this happening." Growing up, she.was anxious to see the world, but has always loved gping back to the mountains. , Camping out in the Ozarks was the "richesf'period of her life at that time. She remembers to this day the smell of the pines and of food cooked outside. "With a friend who accepts me with my flaws, I can. be who I am. "Clint Giese was one of my best friends, back in the old Truman Sch&ol days when I first came to Key West. I taught there for about 1Q years, except for a year in South America. His Havana Lane cottage was- on my way.home from school. Some days I'd,be really gritting my teeth and I'd stop by. It was like . walking into another dimension...green plants, flowers, Cuban classical music. I would sit in the middle of all that . beauty and the tension would be gone, "His house was like a piece of sculpture that he was never done with. He continually changed it — a piece of glass here, driftwood there. Usually something he picked up at the dump or on the beach." SHE FEELS THAT to have a relation- ship that works, two people must be close friends. That means being able to be the persons they really are and to say their feelings and to enjoy many of the same diversions. . This past summer, Gay got to travel in Mexico. She experienced an emotional click of insight that has since altered her awarenesses. "Who I am," she says, "is not good or bad, but who I am." This gave Gay a better understanding of others, too. Self acceptance'was an idea that before this trip she was un- able to receive. "I know that I am selfish," she says, "but I can accept this, knowing also that I can be' very unselfish."

Some of i t we can make happen. Some of i t we don ' t always understand. "I know that when I need help and guidance, I get i t . " This is fa i th in action. Gay says that for the past two or three years she has had a sp i r i t guide who helps her. • ALTHOUGH SHE DOES NOT read the Bible, the other night she had a dream of the Once.

In the dream she came to realize that it was the Holy Spirit who was her true spirit guide. -"This was very exciting to me." That part of the Trinity had never had any meaning for her before. • Gay has been keeping journals and recording dreams for a good 15 years now. She has, in all this time, experienced a recurring dream of a visitor which has become less frightening over the years. Sometimes this was a man, sometimes a woman, and sometimes a group. "Some- times in the past they are trying to hurt me-i" She was told to confront- the visitor, have an exchange and accept its being. Gradually this became a more pleasant experience. She contends that the dream is her way of working through things. She feels children ought to be encouraged to verbalize their dreams. KEY WEST HAS ALWAYS been a refuge for Gay. She, like many-, feels she can be more herself here, let her grass grow. "I forget how much this means to COCKING DE THE CCCI^S €11 EXJVAL me, un t i l I go to some other place, "When I f i r s t came here, Rest Beach was my beach. There were no buildings, but paths by the s a l t ponds where I could see a blue heron, a tiny fiddler, crab, or a yellow butterfly. Swimming just off shore, I could see conchs, squids, sea s t a r s , and a l l kinds of fish. "It was quiet there, and on Sun- days a few families would be picnicking under the Australian pines. I used to also have a l i t t l e rowboat moored at the end of Bertha Street . Tony Barerra made i t , , and we called i t 'Algeria. ' Once i t was found floating in the Gulf Stream. I guess i t had blown from i ts moorings. A navy boat picked i t up. They thought i t was a Cuban refugee boat. I almost d idn ' t get i t back." GAY HAS LIVED also in Guam, and liked the Tropics. She had heard Arthur Godfrey, on the radio, talk about the Keys. Cuba interested her.. She wanted also to be close to the Latins. She feels possibly that in another time she was Hispanic. Gay finds the language lyrical and poetic, akin to herself. The music also appeals to her, and she loves dancing as well. All kinds of music can appeal to her. depending on her mood. : So, "unhappy in. California where she had been teaching, Gay- sent teaching cre- dential? here in the Spring of 195.9, . •- thinking maybe this would be good for her. I t was, and she was accepted to teach second grade a t Truman School. WITHOUT KNOWING A soul here, Gay moved down on Greyhound with her two trunks, arr iving in Key West a t three or four in the morning after a 40-hour t r ip . When she f i r s t breathed the good sa l t a i r , she f e l t she belonged here. " I t was l ike going home." She has never re- gretted her move. "I'm so thankful I followed my ins t inc t s . " She's been here -20 years now and loves her home. "One love I 've had here i s taking- an old house and making i t livable. When I walked in to my Grinnell Street house VISA.

The place had been abandoned so long, but I immediately , visualized how i t could be. The trans- formation was the most fun. Like putting paint on.a canvas and seeing i t change and move." GAY HAS TRAVELED In India, Japan, Guam, and South America. She taught in Cartagena, Colombia, for one year after being in Key West three years. She liked the music and admired the dignity of the people on the coast. "They were mostly poor, but they had such sp i r i t . I t showed that they liked themselves. I t was an inspir- ation.. They walk with heads, held high, backs straight. If you like yourself you can accomplish just about anything you want. You can be se l f - re l i an t . " Not having had children herself, but after the many years of working with and observing them, Gay has a unique ob- jectivity that many parents do not get until the grandchildren come along. Some might call i t detachment, with love, It is an exercise of the sp i r i tua l over the emotional. WORKING WITH KIDg (her work for 25 years now) has also been an inspira- tion for Gay. "You f i r s t have to help them to like themselves... to appreciate ,£heir uniqueness. You must love your-', self f irst , before you can love every- body.", • Gay has found that emotional prob- lems stem from not liking ourselves. If we can get in touch with the person we really are, problems and disturbance •fade. "We can be free to lova if we love ourselves." Gay says that, meditation has been an enormous help to her in her work with children and in her personal evolution. "You discover who you are, instead of what you have been told you should be. "We hate ourselves when we fall short of what we are told we should bo. "Insofar as 'releasing children from guilt (letting them and everyone off-the hook, as a friend once said), Capt.

"You don't feel lonely long with kids. Their spontaneity and love of life is contagious. They know when you're not leveling with them. When you do, they'll be so accepting and enthusiastic in their love for you! "I think appreciating the gift of life is the greatest art. It is what very small children and my students have.

AS FOR TKACHING, Gay feels that there is too much emphasis on the tes t - ing and recording of data: the paper work. "I feel that this is dehumanizing and takes energy and time away from the students. "I try to take the time to give the children an opportunity to make choices, but they have to accept the responsibil- ity for their decisions, and this i sn ' t so easy. When I find myself in a pain- ful situation, my first impulse is to look out there to find,the culprit, Then I say to myself, Whoal WaitJ Remember what you teach. And I see that a choice or series of choices that I have made can usually explain my predicament. When we make our own decisions and accept responsibility for them, we can like ourselves more. . ' "I hope to help my students develop a gentleness towards l i fe . Empathy for people and animals, plants and the nature that surrounds. I try to encourage an awareness of their environment — to look, hear, touch, smell. "I like children to use their abundant energy in some kind of, sport. ('He's a handful,' many parents complain.) Swimming' s a natural in Key West. " GAY HAS BEEN exploring meditation now for about eight years. She received instruction in i t through a TM (Trans- cendental Meditation) class offered here, She now meditates daily in the late afternoon for 40 minutes, "it in most relaxing and cleansing from each day, and clears out one's mind. I feel re- newed when I'm through." She used to nap after school, awakening in a groggy state. She notices now that she gets energy from the meditation, and is even grouchy when ŝhe misses. Gay would like to create more. She is a good a r t i s t , writes poetry, does batik, makes prints from woodcuts, sculptures, does wall hangings, etc. "I express myself best abstractly. I don't really like details and exactness." Gauguin i s her favorite art is t right now, "I'm in some disorder outwardly; and hopefully, a l i t t l e more orderly in my head." Music is really important to her, a l l kinds. "I stop by New Orleans every chance to see Preservation Hall. Polk music, Western, and country I grew up with. Music's a gift always there to f i t your mood, l i f t you. "I feel there's so much we don't know. There is an infinite potential of communication. I feel a great deal of enlightment will come in the next 50 years that will be non-verbal. ."I don't believe in predestination, yet things don't happen by accident either.

PARKING AT OUR DOOR KEY PLAZA SHOPPING CENTE I LIVE WITH Jimmy Buffett's aban- doned kitty on the tired, tilty second floor of an old, faded pink beachside captain's house. The kitty"bore 16 children while she lived with Jimmy Buffett next door; all of them were put out in homes of Louie's Back Yard patrons. Perched on the lit- tle balcony overhanging the beach, she and I often spy some of the offspring down among other underachievers hanging around the shoreline where the crystal runs of water crawl over the sand and now and then a bigger wave spends itself against the worn, grey rocks. Radar is the name Jimmy Buffett called his pussy cat during the years the singing star kept a pad next door. Naturally, Radar appears sexily and thrillingly in those precocious lyrics about this incomparable island. Fame has touched Radar only slightly;, she is a poor mother, but she has enormous physical presence. When Jimmy Buffett split, Radar, celebrated and world weary, fell into the hands of a small person * named Cory» who sublet the front half of Radar to me. AS THIS FRONT HALF of her is the section which eats, she frequently visits the saucer I keep filled with those dry- cat goodies shaped like jacks to which I add just a pinch of salt and a dash of sugar for her. So that she has be- come a gentle, familiar sight, softly padding about the roof wedges and slopes up here, suddenly framed in a window. . • Quiet as a bank vault. Tranquil as a cloud. ' Slje invests the moment with grace. There is something intensely pleasing to the eye about the white jabot traced on her long grey throat. As she walks trader my hand, while I sit at the desk tossing ideas, something nourishing and protean passes from her to me. With generosity and compassion, she allows this visit, this intrusion upon her lovely creature self. She is so much in command, she can spare it. She turns a cold and prudish shouldet to her boy friend, a great, bony tiger pat who lies about catching the air con- ditioner drip and letting it run off his nose. He consults with himself in moans, at times losing all self control and dis- gracefully caterwauling. Small wonder. So far Radar's beautiful face, so elegant and spiritual, tops-a rather tacky body which looks like a shaggy, red-grey- rug. She washes studiously and messily and makes tufts of fur stick up where her strong, rough tongue touches. She is like a compelling, ungroomed woman, and these often'exert> a'wonderful appeal. Radar despairs of her appearance, it seems. She throws herself onto the Oriental carpet, stretches one leg1 straight in the air and lashes ener- getically at herself with her .tongue. There are about three inches of her back which she worries hourly. But she is a poor groomer. After working herself to a standstill, she relaxes and flops in a spot of sun for a sublime nap, her Rolls Royce motor faintly purring." Some possibly celestial force came here with Radar. She moves in an en- chanted aura. , Jimmy Buffett, Radar is alive and well. 1 I I I I I I I I MmBiddlds CANDY STORE AND ICECREAM PARLOR Ice Creams Homemade Key Lime Marmalade CHRISTIAN SCIENCE A church service full oC stirring' new ideas.

Greenestreet, I will explain that she is the relentless roving reporter for-radio station WKWF. She is always on top of every situation. She tried to talk me into accompanying her on a search for news. Never having been especially inter- ested in news reporting, I declined. In fact, I was rather looking forward to joining my compadres down on the docks in a bottle of Mad Dog. But Angela is relentless. We started down the street and right away witnessed a dreadful fight outside a bar. A very small man was beating to a pulp a man at least six- foot-four with a ,357~magnum stuck in his belt and trying to wield a hefty length of chain. "Angela!" I cried. this is!" "What a story ANGELA ADROITLY SKIRTED a pool of blood, and as sirens sounded in ̂ the distance, mumbled something about un- fair fights and continued on her way. Well, maybe it wouldn't have been much of a story anyhow. Nothing•happened for a block. Then suddenly from a side street dashed an hysterical horse pulling a carriage full of terrified tourists. The horse careened into an illegally parked camper, knock- ing down the officer who was writing a ticket,, and causing the camper's doors, to spring open, revealing eight people in various stages of undress. What a coup for the cop! Illegal parking, in- decent exposure and reckless horsing around. "Angela!" I shrieked.

' Angela shrugged despondently and babbled something to the effect that water shortage stories aren't news anymore. "Actually," she said, "this town is really dull. Nothing ever happens here!" She's probably right. Pass the Mad Dog, please. eg I : : '• : 1 NOW AVAILABLE BLACKS.

We have been following with interest the City Electric System (CES) investigation into OTEC power sources (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), We read of the proposal by engineering consultants CH2M Hill to secure federal* funds for a demonstration plant. It would 'have a one-megawatt electric gen- erator coupled with a 700,QQO gallon per day (GPD) water distillation plant. The project, would use the tempera- ture differential between surface and subsurface water layers as a source.of energy to run the plant. It-would cost about $10 million <— all federal grant money. CH2M Hill is the former Black, Crow and Eidness firm that prepared the engineering and financial study three years ago on which the FKAA pipeline project is based. The current FKAA design and construction engineers are Greenleaf-Telesca of Miami. BY BILL WESTRAY &E WISH WE~ HAD that 700,000 GPD of water right riow_. The one megawatt (1000 KW) of electrical power is a drop in the bucket toward our peak power requirement of 60 to 70 megawatts, but it would be valuable for feasibility determination. • A ten-megawatt plant would be a useful addition, commented CES Engineer Tom Kelly. CES still plans to build a $40- $45 million tieline to the Southeast Power Grid with a maximum transmission capacity of about 50 megawatts. How- ever, this transmission line only per- mits us to buy (and sell) power from (or to) the Southeast Grid sources such as the FPL Turkey Point Plant and others. CES is also investigating the fea- sibility of sharing in the building 'of ' a largs (400 to 800 megawatt) generating plant on the mainland someplace as a member of the Florida Municipal Power Association. WITHIN THE NEXT few years, some of the old oil-burning generators at the Grinnell Street plant will be reaching the end of" their life expectancy and should be replaced. We have been in- quiring into the feasibility of replac- ing them with coal-fired generators. Coal has become our cheapest and most abundant ftiel. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)', coal can be bought at from $1.60 to-$1.75 per million BTU's, whereas bunker C oil today costs $3.50 to $4.00 per million BTU's. . ' DOE estimates the cost of a coal- fired generating plant in Key West at $23.3 million for 20 megawatts. Tom Kelly tells us that he has been looking into coal-fired plants as' well as athers and belieyes that the initial cost of a 20-megawatt coal plant would be nearly $40 million. Complicated coal handling equipment accounts for much of the excess capital costs, according to Kelly. He added that coal might well be the most reliable and economical fuel for the 400-800 megawatt plant on the mainland that the Florida Municipal Power Associ- ation is considering. CITY PLANNER. Solares Hill and Bill Westray have been named defendants in a $130,000 civil lawsuit filed by Attorney David Paul Horan on behalf of City Planner Keith Golan. The complaint alleges libel and slander by the defendants in an edi- torial published in our December issue about the new Land Use Plan in which Golan was mentioned prominently. Golan was twice offered opportunities to write rebuttals for publication in our later issues, but has thus far declined to do so. Our responses to Golan's com-^ plaints will be•filed by our attorneys early in April. WATER. The Florida Keys Aqueduct Author- ity (FKAA) water shortage reached a critical stage in- March when reserves dropped below 5 million gallons, and some storage tanks lost suction. Con- • sumption was running well over 8 million gallons per day (MGD) with production barely reaching 8 MGD when everything was working. When the desalination plant on Stock Island had to be shut down several times to seal off leaking tubes, that production of about 2 MGD was lost. To cope, FKAA cut pressures to. 10 pounds per' square inch (PSI) which caused water to trickle out of most faucets and left many places at times without any water at all. . As we went to press, all production facilities were working again, consump- tion was down slightly, and reserves were climbing back up at the rate of about 300,000 to 400,000 gallons per day. Governor Bob Graham has sent a team of experts from the South Florida Water Management District to Key West to study the problems,and recommend corrective action-.

SKATE SALES PRO SHOP MEANWHILE,, THE SCHEDULE for the new pipeline seems to have slipped several months. Engineering and bid specifica- tions .were supposed to have been com- pleted and sent out in January 1980. We are into April and we don't believe that the specs are ready yet. It looks to us like we will have to experience two more winter tourist sea- sons before the new pipeline brings more water. A number of organizations have been calling for a total moratorium on new water hookups or additions. WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE PASSED THE. POINT OF NO RETURN ON THIS AND CALL FOR A WATER HOOKUP MORATORIUM UNTIL ADDI- TIONAL WATER SUPPLIES ON A CONTINUING BASIS ARE ASSURED. We learned recently from Greenleaf- Telesca that they have the laboratory test results of the present condition of the old Navy 18-inch pipeline. They find that most of the line is in excel- lent condition and the inside of the line has a frictional constant-of -130, indi- cating that the inside of the pipe is clean and smooth. Greenleaf reports that they plan to retain all the old line from Seven-mile bridge to Key West and operate-it in parallel with the new 24-inch line for transmission. Other portions of the 18-inch,line from Marathon northward will be used for both transmission and local distribution of water. The only really bad portions of the Navy line were the portion north of Key Largo, and those exposed sections on the old bridges that are already being replaced. \& CATER, CLATTER, PITTER, PATTEB They catejr, weddings in a style all their own Moving so quickly to each house in town Roaring while running they're here then they're gone We.know them coming because of their sound Hydraulic announcements that they're on the way Awaken insomniacs whose lids have just closed Barrel lid frisbeeslike spent cymbals lay A crashing concerto of caterings woes Pre-dawn cool stillness is shocked for a moment By rapid clutched gearbox on their welcome wagon Bellowing loudly a groan-filled lament The wagon ingests so much it starts gagging Newlyweds awake all night on the first night Interrupt kisses to glare at the loud sight The caterers fly through backyards in flight Clutching four full drums with full muscle might A lip whistled signal's the only redemption That offsets the whine of the fire breathing monster Gorging itself with remnant consumption Howlingly filling the air -- a mad songster Sunrise is sunset for catering cargoes Hauling their burden to specified locales To belch out compacted treasures they found In winter they offer us free snow removal by John Hellen Northern Italian Cuisine 615Duval Street, Key West 294-6565 14 EATS STORY AND DRAWINGS BY AMY LEE DE POO DURING THE COURSE of growing up, there always comes one wrong, real or imagined, for which vengeance is sought. Children, of course, do not possess the wisdom to differentiate between what is actually a terrible wrongdoing or what is actually their distorted perception of what is really an awful wrong to them. This is where the tricky business of parenting becomes a repetitious night- mare: "children have to be told over and over again, thousands of times-, day in, day out, what is right and what is wrong. In addition to that, they have to be taught how to accept life's vicissitudes, harsh and mild, serious and not so serious, and how.to-deal realistically with them all. it just so happens that each person is an individual and has an inborn code of some sort that causes, them to react uniquely to different situations. My older sister, Kathryn, for ex- ample, had one of•the strangest sets of inborn codes I have ever encountered in my entire life. She had her own sense of what was extremely valuable in life. If you told her you just heard on the radio that the pope died, she would shrug her shoulders, tell you it was his time to go anyway, and go back to trimming her toenails with controlled, studious concentration. If you told her you were cleaning out the ice-box and happened to notice that her can of chicken liver pate was cleaned out as well, she'would stop whatever she'was doing, freeze for a moment, her "face stricken with the hor- rored look of someone who had just wit- nessed the quake in Guatemala, and then jump up and run to the ice-box screaming and shrieking and crying. Clutching the empty can with both handstand staring so hard at the scrape marks on the bottom you'd think she could conjure the chicken livers back into existence, she'd then to700 RENTALS " 2 9 6 * - 889T»TESSONS tear off running about the house search- ing for the culprit with the faint aroma WHEN IT'S fl mflTTER OF TflSTE... • - FRUIT SHIPPERS (UCENStD UNO BONOED) DflNNON FROZEN YOGURT * BREYER'SICE CREFim FRESH SQUEEZED ORflNCE JUICE TROPICfil DRINKS * JELLIES * CfiNOIES * GIFT BOSKETS UJDUVftlSISin MY HIST NICKNAMES AND CONCH TALES By WALTER H.

LUCKILY I DID not care for chicken livers arid she never got to carry through on her threats to choke the nibbling thief who ruined her life for thatrday. Unfortunately, I did like salami a l i t - t l e bit and I had to do more than my share of running when Kathryn discovered the vacant plastic package in the ice- box after getting out the mayonnaise and everything, but she was usually too hun- gry to chase me very far. . • Instances such as these indicated to me that Kathryn had already had a firm grasp of what she perceived to be a wrong committed upon her, and she dealt with i t according to impulses die- \ tated outright by her sense of justice (which in most cases was violence) . MARTHA, MY YOUNGER SISTER, and I were qu i te d i f fe ren t in our approach to m a t t e r s in. which we found ourselves wronged. We were less .violent, , but t h a t i s not to say we were any less obnoxious, because we weren ' t .

Living on Dey Street, which is only a block from Duval Street, we had easy access to any number of places where children could go in and order something and be treated as regular patrons. There were Kress and McCrory's, two dime stores with food counters, an ice-cream parlor, The La Brisa (which is where we went exclusively for the frozen Key Lime pie because Martha loved the whipped cream they put all over it), Rod's Inn and Shor.ty's. We never went to the Charcoal Hut. My father forbade us to go there, because people were usually recovering from hangovers, and he didn't think that was the place for little girls. lip until this point, Martha and I would have to go with Kathryn if we wanted to go get anything, because she had to carry money since she was the oldest and most responsible. I could never see the logic in that, because to my mind it. is just as easy for an old person to lose something as it is for--, a young person. My grandmother was al- ways misplacing things and my mother still misplaces things. Add to that the fact that Kathryn was only a year older than me, and you have the questionable theory that the space of twelve months makes a person less likely to lose money. And besides THAT, Kathryn couldn't see a foot in front of her face without her glasses so if she lost her glasses she would have been helpless without Martha or me. And to top it off, I had much bigger hands than Kathryn, and they were more suited to holding onto things than hers ever were. But I still never got to carry the money.

It so happened that we were in the vicinity ctf Sloppy Joe's, a.nd the closest place to get a soda was Shorty's Restaurant. We went in and seated ourselves at the counter and waited to place our order. It was probably between four and five in the afternoon, so there were not very many people in the place, except for maybe a few early diners and several patrons having coffee. Presently our waitress arrived to take our order. She was a nice enough woman, but it being towards the end of the day, I don't suppose she was too ex- hilarated to find four adolescent girls at her counter space, especially since we didn't look like large tippers. We only had enough money to buy us each a soda, so that is what we ordered. The waitress had one of those teased-up hair- dos with an elaborate array of puffy curls all held in place under a net. SHE WAS CHEWING gum (which is no sin, but as she took our order, she was lean- ing on the counter with one elbow and punctuating each person's desired refresh- ment with a well-placed crack of her gum), and I thought her to be from Texas or Tennessee, judging from her accent. Sometimes she'd look sideways, and I was sure she was probably wishing she was at the Big Fleet or the Poinciana Lounge listening to some Dottie West music on the jukebox rather than be subjected to us. Well, I should say rather than1 being subjected to Martha and Gen and Kathryn, because I always behaved impeccably in public places, and my sisters caused me no end of embarrassment with their inces- sant chatter and squirming around and fiddling with the-napkin holder and rolling the ashtray around with the index finger. The waitress left after five min- utes of listening to us make decisions, change them, ask what else she had, and then finally decide on four large cokes 1128 Simonton St. 296-2807 8 AM - 3 AM Homemade Sandwiches Congenial Family Bar Package Store Reasonable Prices Established 33 Years THE KEY WEST SCHOOL ZEN SPEAR FISHING 4-9922 15 with lots of ice. (If you didn't ask for lots of ice, the coke got too warm to drink so we always asked for extra.) SHE BROUGHT US back our sodas, and we thanked her and began to drink up. It was pretty slack in Shorty's about this time, and I watched her as she went back to talk to the cook, who was not busy at all. As I drank about half-way down, my glass began to look empty of coke but still had the ice filling it. Looking down my straw I stopped and almost choked in disgust. At first I thought I had a cockroach stuck in my ice, but upon further examination and rooting around, I discovered some large black chunks of unidentifiable material wedged in my ice. I was horrified and repulsed. At about the same time, Martha, who was sitting on my right, half-choked on her straw and found that she too had the black matter in her ice. This was too much. "Martha, do you see what I see? Look at that black gook in my ice! That's disgusting!" "I'll say it's.disgusting! Look -- it's all the way to the bottom on mine! How sickening. I can't drink that. Who knows what it is." KATHRYN, WHO WAS on the other side of Gen on my left, had simultaneously discovered the tell-tale black chips in her ice, and Gen was holding her glass up to see if she had been contaminated also. The odds of coincidence were. ,astronomical, according to our calcula- tions. We were being cheated or poi- soned, one or the other. Something, had to be done. We began whispering together about this breach of sanitation and decided that we should not be made to pay for an. inferior pro- duct. Martha thought she1had the solu- tion: my father, John, was a stickler for proper restaurant deriorum, and he always told us if we didn't like what we were served in an eating establishment Rosners ONDITVAI, u&rd f«rnUui*€ 901 Duval S Sqwure S04-3398 to throw it on the floor. MARTHA WAS ABOUT to pitch hers" in the direction of the door, when Kathryn reached over and grabbed her arm and hissed, "No you little foolI Do you want to get us thrown out of here? Daddy didn't really mean it when he told you to do that and you know it. Now behave, and let's do something about this," She paused for a moment, then spoke. "I think we should get a refund. After all, why should we have to pay to drink dirt? If I want to drink dirt I'll go home and drink my own dirt. I don't need their dirt. We don't even know where this dirt CAME from." Kathryn would have rambled on for a good half hour had I not interrupted her soliloquy on her dirty preferences. I called to our waitress. "Miss, Miss, oh Miss? Could you come here a minute, please?" The wait- ress was by now looking at her manicure and planning her next trip to the Beauty parlor, and it was with some hesitation that she made her way back to our places at the counter. She was still chewing and cracking away at that gum. She spoke. "Well, watcha want?" I held up my glass, .. "Uh, you see that? It's right there. Can you see that?" SHE SQUINTED HER EYES and looked down her nose with her head back and commenced chewing and cracking with re- newed intensity. "No, hon, I don't see nothin'. What's the matter with it? Looks good to me." "Well, if you, uh, look a little closer you'll see some black stuff, right there, see it?" I rotated the glass to facilitate her view. "No, baby doll, there just ain't nothin' there." I was positive I had riot hallucinated it and could not imagine how someone who dealt with this black trash all day long would not be able to recognize the atroc- ities in my glass. I shook up my glass and there rose to the top-a nice big piece of black junk in full view. "See?: There it isJ And they have it in their glasses tool This stuff is all through the ice!" I felt as if"1 had just isolated the aedes ae- gypti mosquito' and the dreaded yellow fever and was going to save mankind from destined extinction by finally stopping the ingestion of the deadly black gunk. Martha and Gen and Kathryn held up their glasses and informed her that their, too, were riddled with the black chunks. The waitress took another look and laughed and shook her head. (Maybe she had in- gested too much of it herself and was beyond help, who could say?) "OH THAT STUFF! 'Why, we get that in the ice all the time! . It won't hurt She laughed again and walked away, still shaking her head and chuckling and chewing her gum. We could see her over by the grill telling the cook about our sun sets.

I didn't think it was all that funny, and, in particular, I didn't,think it was very funny that we didn't even get to SUGGEST a refund, much less get 17 one. There was still some coke in my glass, but I couldn't bring myself to drink it, even after the assurances from the waitress that the stuff was harmless. To hear her tell it, the black stuff was so good you could even sprinkle it on your cereal in the morning. We were all very disgusted, so we left. ON THE WAY HOME, still angry about the black ice incident,, we began to think up ways to get some restitution for our humiliation, or what we per- ceived to be humiliation, at the hands of the unsympathetic waitress. (This is where my excellent memory comes in: I distinctly.remember my little sister Martha coming up with this idea, but she has recently informed me that it was my idea. Well, she is wrong, and I happen to know why? for the past seven years Martha has been taking ballet classes and consequently has thoroughly trounced her frail body with strenuous exercises at the barre, and her mind is just not what it used to be. Therefore, I can, in all good conscience, declare that the following is as true and accurate as I can remem- ber.) . • IT SHOULD.BE NOTED here that we were not bad girls, but I realize what we did was quite obnoxious and even Tall Ship for Sail Live the ultimate seagoing adventure.

I can only hope that the statute of limitations holds fast in this' incident. As I was saying, we began to think up •ways to obtain indemnification for what we perceived to be a wrong committed on us by the non-commiserative waitress, so MARTHA decided we should all disguise ourselves as hippies, go into Shorty's, order a deluxe chicken dinner, a ham- burger all-the-way (with fries), choco- late milkshakes, some pie, and then run out on the check. (This IS awful, but I knew a confession would have to come out sooner or later, and I'll be better able to sleep nights now.) A few days later, Martha, Gen, and myself (Kathryn would have no part of it, and she said we were stupid) fished through all our old dress-up clothes and came up with what we thought to be the traditional hippie-garb. When I think of it now, the clothes we chose no more resembled what hippies were wearing at the time than limes resemble strawberries, but we all thought it was an accurate portrayal. We had plaids mixed with stand out even more, but nonetheless we thought we were in deep disguise. IN WE WENT to Shorty's. The same waitress was there and she probably re- cognized us right off the bat and most likely thought we all were under the influence of some mind-altering substance. We sat down and ordered the aforementioned food. My nerves were raw, and Gen didn't look too confident either. My stomach was a virtual dry and twisted knot. I knew I would probably not even be able to take one small mouthful,, being delicate in that way. Martha, of course, had not lost her appetite one bit, and when the food ar- rived she did it as much justice as she could before it was time for us to leave. (Naturally she does not remember it that way at all and claims it was I who made a pig of -myself and that they had to drag me out of there with a chicken drumstick in my hand and a mouth- ful of mashed potatoes and gravy, but I emphatically state that this is NOT the case. Her faulty memory has betrayed polka dots, scarves, beaded necklaces, evening purses, jackets, feathers, and tennis shoes for running away. Gen had on a ridiculous purple hat that made us BfflHMDHD her once more.) WE QUIETLY DECIDED that the moment had arrived for us to beat our retreat, and_ my hands began to shake. • My palms were getting very damp. Gen was grey in the face. Martha looked very well- fed. (The food was delicious, incident- ally.) ' • We pretended to have dropped our purses on the floor and.carefully edged off the stools. As we crouched down, we grabbed our purses and dashed for the door. I was terrified and sick to my stomach. I experienced the sickening strangle-hold of loose queasiness grip my spine and felt a yellow streak make its way down my back. My feet felt like lead, and the world had stopped around me. We were out the door and running for our lives down Duyal towards Caroline Street and made it around the corner. Feeling a sharp pain in my. side, I want- ed to slow down, but' Martha, leading the way, screamed for me to keep going. Finally we reached Farnie's house on Caroline and ran into the side yard and threw ourselves, into the bushes to hide, It was terrible. We were sweating profusely, became very nauseous and al- most threw up. There was very little traffic in Key West at that time, and every time a car drove by we were sure it was the local police looking for us to take us to jail. Finally, after we all had caught our breath; we climbed over Farnie's back gate; snuck through, the back yard, and came out'wn Simonton Street. It was beginning to get dark and I don't think a one of us knew what or why we were in existence. We felt hor- rible. We looked like fools dressed up in those idiotic clothes and we were too sick to enjoy what we had just eaten. We couldn't tell anyone what we had done for fear it,would get back to our par- ents and then we'd really get it, •Martha and Gen and I made a solemn vow right then and there to never speak of it again. And they didn't. But now my conscience is clear.

TRUHAN WHY SHOULDN'T KEY WEST have its own Dance Company? Now with the brand new. facility of the Tennessee Williams Fine Arts Center, the rapid growth of the Greene Street Theatre, and the steady influx of artists, writers, and actors into one community — why not dance? Well, there is a group of fine young dancers under the artistic direc- tion of Linda Kuchera, whose credentials include working with such names as Nury- ev, Baryshnikov, Turning point, "American Ballet Theatre," "The Hamburg Ballet" from Hamburg, Germany, and much, much more! Now, what would Miss Kuchera be doing here in Key West, trying to con- tinue what she knows how to do best? "I FEEL IT'S time Key West should have it's own Company," says Linda Ku- chera. "After eleven years of short term visits to Key West, and having family here as well, I have.longed to make it my home. Recently invited to teach for the New School of Dance, I decided to return to the island and found a small group of talented women who have been trying to form a company for several ^ears, but without the proper direction. So I have offered my time and talents to help make this a reality." The Company exists of five local artists who have varied talents and degrees in the dance world. One is Prancine Kreinces, who has done choreo- graphy in the community for the Water- front Playhouse and has been teaching modern dance here in Key West over five years. She has a B.S. degree in dance from the University of Wisconsin. Then there is Alison Young, also a , teacher at the New School of Dance, who has a range of regional dance experience from musicals such as Gypsy to ballets such as swan Lake. Recently, she shared acclaim with Miss Kuchera for the well- precisioned dance numbers in the Cole Porter musical Anything Goes. WE ALSO HAVE Penny Mollot, who has trained in major dance schools in New York City as well as Rbsella Hightower's Academy of Dance in Cannes, France. Having worked with several modern dance troupes, she has finally arrived in Key West with the desire to make her home here and the dream of continuing her career. Martha De Poo is also a local talent who has been working toward a career in dance for many years and has contributed her abilities to local theatrical perfor- mances. The latest addition, Martha Rosa Menendez, has been seen many times on local broadcasts as well as national television and has performed the varied repertoire of Miami's "Ballet Concerto" all over the U.S. THESE DANCERS, under Miss Kuchera's direction, have worked almost seven days a week for the past five months to be able to present their premier dance per- formance at the Arts Center and'" to con- tinue as a vital company and provide year-round dance for Key West. * After many years of trying to form a profes- sional company, they finally have the guidance and expert influence of a dancer who has performed with major companies here and abroad.

The story prompted City Commission- er Richard Heyman to publicly call for Stack's application, along with his cre- dentials, to be reviewed by the city commission. STACK, IN AN INTERyiEW with Solares Hill, called the accusations made in the Herald unfounded. "But.what can I do?" he asked. "When a big paper like that goes out after you, what chance do you have?" The 44-year-old city manager is visibly exhausted by the controversy the Herald series has caused. "I have cre- dentials," he said. "I resent the im- plication that I'm not qualified for this job, or that I falsified my appli-v cation to become city manager."

"Don't ever forget, I may just be the most qualified city manager in the entire state of Florida," Stack said. "I'm sure I'm the only one" who has the credentials to run a police department." THE HERALD ARTICLE stated that Stack attended a Washington University in Washington, D.C., and the Banking and Finance Institute in South Bend, Indiana, These were, at least, the credentials that he offered on the application to the sheriff's office. However, reporter Sachs wrote, "The school (The Banking and Finance Institute) has no record of his enrollment." She went on to write, "He said also that he attended a Wash- ington University. No university by that name exists in Washington, D.C." Reached for comment, Sachs said, "I stand by the story as it appeared in the Herald. I called each place two or three times in order to get different clerks. They simply didn't have any record of his attending these courses he claims to have." THE CITY MANAGER, however, has re- sponded to the claim,by saying, "That Associates Investment Company doesn't exist for a very good reason. They were bought out by Gulf and Western Company and moved to Houston. My re- cords have just moved. That girl (Sachs) tried to get something and she couldn't." He added, "These reporters spent, three_ days going through all,skinds of financial management papers in my office. They disrupted everything. No one could get any work done. ' Did you see anything about that in the Herald ? No. Do you want to know why? Because they ' couldn't find a damn thing1" One of the confusing factors in this controversy is the fact that the appli- KEY WEST GLASS WORKS CUSTOM STAINED GLASS WINDOWS & SHADES CLASSES & ART GLASS SUPPLIES in LJI jjlO18 Truman A Best Sellers Hkfi Paperbacks -Gift Books KEY WEST Sailing Children's Books ISLAND Personal attention to special orders^ ) ay^^ :fc*^^j^fg^etf**r * ^ ^ " ^ ^ S ^ BOOK wmmmm m m JW, ST KEY VEST cation in question was not made for the city manager's position. Stack has claimed that he didn't have to make such an application when he became manager under then mayor Delio Cobo in 1969. Heyman has pointed out, "That part about the questionable job application was for special investigator at the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, not the job Ron has right now. I have a feeling that he pretty much has things in order as far as the city manager position is concerned. At least we'll find out, as we must do when any city employee's-credentials are called into question." ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, the require- ment for the city manager's position, as defined by the Key West Charter, calls for a person "chosen solely on the basis of his executive and administrative qualifications with special reference to his actual experience in, or his know- ledge of, accepted practice in respect to the duties of his office." The vaguely worded section has no require- ment whatsoever for any high school or college degree. Asked if he has at any time during his tenure as city manager used members of the Key West Police Department as his bodyguards or thugs to handle his own personal problems, Stack answered, "Ask the police themselves. Ask Police Chief James. How long could I last in this town if I were doing things like that?" THE CITY MANAGER was adamant on this point, despite the documentation in the Herald by Sachs concerning an incident in the summer of 1977 when Stack allegedly beat up a civilian com- munications worker employed by the Navy. The article claimed that Stack had the man arrested after Stack's son and the man's son got into a fight. Supposedly, Stack yelled at the man, after punching him several times, that he would "kill anyone that hurt my son." This incident is one of several rumored situations ••§VgOJlSINE FRANCAISE .

"Look, this man struck my son," Stack said. "I didn't know a damn thing about it. My wife is the one who pressed charges. Again, everything has been blown way out of proportion. I knew, once this guy was. in the jail, .that he would be in trouble with his. job if he. had a record on him. I then went back to my wife and said', 'Look, we have a problem.' She later decided to drop charges. You can ask her that. I just decided to give this guy a break. Re- member, my son was about 11 years old at the time when this guy hit him." THE GENERAL THRUST of the Herald series dealt with the immense profits presently being enjoyed by pot smugglers . in Key West, and the extremely lax law enforcement by the state attorney's of- fice concerning those who are caught with giant loads of the much in demand "square groupers " — bales of marijuana. The piece on'Stack did not have a direct drug tie-in. This came as a surprise to many observers who have been speculating that former Key West policeman Tony Baso has fingered Stack along with several other city an_d. county officials as being involved in drug trafficking. Baso has been testifying before federal authori- ties, supposedly on just such matters. Stack denied any involvement with drug trafficking. He said, "That would be impossible. I hardly even know' Tony Baso. It just isn't even close to the truth." Both Stack and attorney Eden have accused the Herald of trying to distort the facts. Stack said, "In 10 years, the time I've been city manager, I've never seen a favorable article in that paper about Key West or Monroe County. They're always trying to make us look bad. I suggest they look into their own back- yards for once. Right now in Miami there's a tremendous drug war going on.

The males are bright red, whereas the females are more of an orange with a definite orange-colored beak. They came early'.in the morning and were soon replaced by the Jays. : Enter the villain. It is really hard to think of someone named "Irving" as a villain, but villain he is. Irving is my next door neighbor's cat, and I think he thought I was putting out bait just for his convenience. Anyway, Irving and I went round and round on several occa- sions, and he learned to run and give me dirty looks all at the same time. I was really thinking of abandoning the whole project before Irving was rewarded with a meal, when the Jays took the whole situation but of my hands.

I looked out the window, and there was Irving trying his best to dodge about five very determined Jays who were trying their best to do Irving in. They would swoop down on him in twos or threes and connect with his head. • Irving was trying his best to get away, but by this time the blood was,running very freely and Irving was freaked.

He saw. me, the dreaded enemy, and just pulled himself together and ran for home. I saw him the next afternoon,, well on the other side of the yard licking his wounds and nervously looking up every few seconds. . „ THE JAYS ARE definitely the most - survival-conscious. They will' go up against crows twice their size and chase the squirrels as well. Well, the feeder calmed down after Irving departed, and I was rewarded with a baby Cardinal one day. As far as I can tell, they just hold their mouths open constantly, and the father bird keeps shoving food into it. He can't stand their crying any more than a peo- ple parent can. They are delightful little miniatures of their parents. I can walk up to any of the -feeders now, bird or squirrel, and no one pays any attention to me; no one leaves, they know me that well. If I am lax about filling the feeder, I can expect a tapp- ing at the window: It's a great hobby, and I have finally found a store that will deliver 50 pound bags of feed to me every so often. <: THE AQUARIUM Green Turtles Sharks Eels LARGE SELECTION OF Reef Tropical Fish Daily shark feeding 3 pm Also next door...

Lack of exercise was one of the major complaints of the prisoners and state correctional institution of- ficials. Work was completed last month, so we took'a picture of the satisfied Sheriff watching prisoners play basketball. ONE PRISONER SAW the light of day for the first time in six months. He ran around the enclosure eight times and was exhausted but ex'hilerated. Another man simply lay back and soaked up the heat; a.relief from the air conditioning inside Other prisoners' reactions: "A re- lease...a blessing... like a letter from home...uplifting spiritually and physical- ly...a godsend to know that someone on the outside cares." Some may see the exercise yard -- one basketball basket and a lot of steel, cement-, and heavy,fencing -- as a form of coddling lawbreakers. They might consid- er the insight of one jail guard, who is well aware of the powder keg conditions created when a hundred men are caged up with rro.thing to do but invent ways to cause trouble: "This will relieve a lot of the tension. You don't know how bad it can get in there." . v m 1 PHOTO, BY RICHARD MARSH Oh Boy! is now open LATE NIGHTS Fri Sat. and Sun. from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. • M&M'Nut .
