Congratulations to our Employees of the third quarter!!!In the photo, left to right: Reserve Deputy of the quarter Jennifer Ettish, Explorer of the quarter Shahed Shvuo, Sheriff Rick Ramsay, Deputy Sheriff of the quarter Martin Harbin and Detention Deputy of the quarter David Stubblefield.

Sheriff Rick Ramsay received a plaque in recognition of his 30 years of service to the Sheriff’s Office at the employee awards ceremony on Friday. Former Sheriff Rick Roth presented the award.

Sheriff Rick Ramsay presented three GPS / Radar units to Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Captain Dave Dipre on Friday. The equipment, purchased with fine and forfeiture funds and not tax dollars – will help boost the crime fighting abilities of FWC officers as they patrol the waters surrounding the Florida Keys.

Three deputies received Sheriff’s Medals for lifesaving at the employee awards ceremony held on Friday. Deputies Jean Gonzalez, Ignacio Molina and Dave Campbell received the awards; Deputy Gonzalez was actually honored twice for saving two lives in recent months. Deputy Campbell could not be present at the ceremony to accept, but all of the award recipients will receive a letter of commendation and a ribbon to wear on their uniforms. Deputies Jean Gonzalez and Ignacia Molina were honored for their swift actions when responding to a deadly incident which took place underground in a Key Largo neighborhood in January of this year. While three people died in the incident, a fourth person – Key Largo Firefighter Leonardo Moreno – survived due in part to the quick actions of the two responding deputies, who performed CPR on him until paramedics arrived. Deputies Jean Gonzalez and Dave Campbell were honored for their life saving efforts at Calusa Campground in June of this year. The two deputies responded to the area for a possible medical emergency. They found a man not breathing. The two performed lifesaving CPR on the man until paramedics arrived. The man was airlifted to a Miami hospital where he made a complete recovery.

For Sale NEW 2018 travel trailer $22,000.00 firm Sleeps 6 (4 comfortably) has dining table, small refrigerator,

microwave, stove, shower, electric awning, AC and toilet

(never used)

We are residents and we purchased this trailer because we didn't know

if our Summerland home was livable, thankfully the second floor was

mostly okay. We paid an additional $2,800.00 to have it delivered to

the Keys which in not included in the price. We are selling it for exactly

what we took the load out for. We cannot take less due to the extent of

repairs we have on our home, which, so far, are more that $100,000.00
