Keys substitute teacher hit with 130 child-porn counts

A now-former substitute teacher in Keys schools remained jailed in lieu of $145,000 bond Friday following his arrest on Thursday for allegedly possessing a huge cache of child porn.

William Britt, 55, formerly of Cudjoe Key, is charged with 123 counts of possessing child pornography and seven counts of possessing a photograph of a sexual performance by a child. All are felonies.
County staffer accused of theft turns himself in

A Monroe County employee accused of skimming money from an Upper Keys trash transfer station turned himself Thursday night on a misdemeanor charge of theft and a felony charge of official misconduct.

David Sinclair, 58, of Key Largo works at the county's transfer station on Card Sound Road. He's accused of stealing $22.23 in tipping fees, although Assistant State Attorney Mark Wilson has said he believes the theft goes deeper than that.
Davidson wins School Board seat after recount

Around 10:20 p.m., the winner was proclaimed: Davidson, 16,362 votes to Welsh's 16,146.

Sailfish: It's what's for fishing

As the fall cool fronts sweep through every 10 days or so, the water temps steadily cool, spurring the fish to feed aggressively.

Sailfish are making an appearance on the reef in appreciable numbers, as indicated by the palpable quantity of flags flying back at the docks. Anglers are taking them as they shower bait and by live-baiting off the deeper reef edge. Ballyhoo, pilchards and goggle eyes are the baits of choice, although small blue runners will work in a pinch.
As water temperatures drop, expect lots of fish action offshore and backcountry

Brisk conditions last week marked the end of October but not the end of hurricane season. Sandy reminded us all that it is not over till it is over. As things begin to settle back down, there are lots of fishing opportunities for anglers looking to fish the backcountry or offshore.
Party boats and charters are great ways to taste offshore action

Offshore fishing has been fantastic. Party boats have been a great way to get out there. Richard Deleon from Miami caught a 35-pound “smoker” kingfish on 30-pound spinning gear aboard Capt. Chan Warner’s party boat The Gulfstream out of Key Largo last week.

Which Quikbooks setup is right for you?

Question: We recently hired a new bookkeeper who has converted us to QuikBooks. She showed us several really "spiffy" reports that could be generated. I think she called them a "dashboard."

After our meeting, my partner and I discussed the kinds of information we would like to see on our dashboard but felt we were missing something. What kinds of things do most businesses have on their dashboard?
