Research shows that heart attack victims have
double the chance of survival if they are immediately
given CPR. Unfortunately, most Americans are not
trained in this simple but crucial life saving skill. Seventy
to eighty percent of cardiac arrest emergencies
happen in the home. Be prepared to help your loved
ones by taking a CPR class.
To sign up for January 31, 2013 class or to be
placed on a list for a class in the future, please contact

Deputy Jason Strong received a Sheriff’s Medal
at yesterday’s ceremony. He responded to
reports of a woman not breathing at Hawk’s
Cay. He was able to remove food from the
woman’s throat which she was choking on, thus
saving her life. In the photo, Lieutenant Bruce

Detective David Cruz, the law enforcement
officer of the quarter for the fourth quarter of
2012, was also recognized by First State Bank.
Cruz solved a case involving a dog which was
found dead in the water inside a cage. The high
profile case attracted lots of attention, including
a web site which raised money for a reward.
First State Bank also offered a $500.00 reward
for tips leading to the resolution of the case.
There were no tips to reward - Detective Cruz
solved it by hard work and extensive follow-up,
so all the reward money will be donated to the
Florida Keys Society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. In the photo, Detective Sgt. Donald
Catala, Sheriff Peryam, Detective Cruz and
