Florida Historian Tom Hambright to Share "The Rest of the Story" as Key West Art & Historical Society Distinguished Speaker Series Guest
Key West Art & Historical Society welcomes Florida Historian Tom Hambright as Distinguished Speaker Series guest on Thursday, April 19 at 6:00pm at Old City Hall, 510 Greene Street,where he will share "The Rest of the Story," an examination of significant Key West history events, presented in the tradition of the late, famed radio newscaster Paul Harvey.
Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" reports-the stories-behind-the-stories and examinations of history's mysteries and little-known facts-were a component of his newscasts during World War II, later revived as a Monday-Friday program in the 1970s that ran until his death in 2009.
Official county historian Hambright is considered one of the foremost preservationists of Key West history, known for his
encyclopedic memory and historic storytelling. In 2017, The Society presented him with the Scotti Merrill Preservation Award, which honors those who are dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of the Florida Keys, with special emphasis on the Custom House, a building whose multi-million dollar renovation was spearheaded by the late philanthropist and founder of the Dogwood Foundation.
Tickets available at

A presentation was made February 21 at the city commission meeting from State officials indicating that Red HAWK systems are in the design phase, but we will probably not see their completion until 2020 in Key West.
Some expressed the sentiment that no crosswalks would be better than what is currently available on North Roosevelt. Lack of visibility of pedestrians, bike riders who shoot out, pedestrians who expect fast stopping because their foot is in the crosswalk,
A suggestion that many were taught to look both ways before attempting to cross the road should be followed by all pedestrians, including those at crosswalks
Condition of various streets that are frequently traveled with the hope that more monies could be channeled towards their drivability,
The potential of a 20 mph speed limit for most residential and old town streets - some wouldn't seem to mind, but the majority want to continue with current limits on North and South Roosevelt and Flagler at a minimum.
Question of so many stop signs - could we remove a few since it seems that only the cars stop and not other modes of transportation?
Discussion of whether motorized bikes should be allowed on sidewalks. I expressed my understanding that if it was motorized it should be on the street.
While the idea of bike lanes resonate with many, the use of such lanes and their effectiveness are questioned by just as many. Some cited those bike lanes being used to go the wrong way against traffic as well as purposely slowing traffic where there are "sharrows". It was even stated that bike lanes seem to indicate that bikers are always right even when they are unable to be seen by those opening a door into a bike lane.
Duval Street loop seems to be working -although few have utilized it. The concept is well received and if it serves the purpose of getting vacationers away from their cars would like to see its continued usage.
Only a few have made use of the four hour free parking with a residential sticker in designated lots
There was suggestion that something similar to a Duval Street loop might be extended from that loop area out to New-town. I indicated that our transportation director is always looking for new routes that would benefit more people.
I indicated that one of the challenges with local bus service is the lack of available drivers to fill the positions, as well as the competition for those drivers from the various tourist related businesses. Anyone want to get trained and apply to be a bus driver?

Florida Keys Community College (FKCC) held a graduation ceremony for its fifty-third and fifty-fourth Correctional Officer Training (COT) Academies on Friday in the Tennessee Williams Theatre on the Key West Campus. Twelve students successfully completed the 420-hour training program through the College's Institute for Public Safety.
Through a partnership with the Monroe County Sheriff Office (MCSO), all graduates have already secured employment at one of the three corrections centers in the Keys. During the ceremony, Sheriff Rick Ramsay presented each graduate with a badge reflecting their new roles as Florida Corrections Officers.
Special accolades were presented to top performing students. Class Captain Joshua Brady earned the Leadership Award as well as the "Top Gun" award for superior shooting skills. Kenny Miller was recognized for academic achievement and Jasmyn Acevedo and Elias Emmanuel were recognized for Physical Fitness. The coveted "PIG" award was presented to Marissa Lockwood for demonstrating pride, integrity, and guts.
FKCC's Correctional Officer Training program satisfies the training requirements of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission. FKCC is currently accepting applications for Basic Law Enforcement academies that begin in May at the Key West Campus as well as the Upper Keys Center in Tavernier.

Florida Keys Council of the Arts 1100 Simonton St. 305-295-4369
The Florida Keys Council of the Arts works to support all the arts, in all the Keys, all the time. The local arts agency has launched its sixth annual Connections Project road show; First Stop
Royal Furniture Showroom located in the Searstown Shopping Plaza in Key West
featuring a vibrant 24-foot mosaic mural created by local artists and art lovers.
The Connections Project is one of the Arts Council's more innovative fundraising activities connecting community members with local arts and cultural initiatives. The Arts Council provides a 6x6 blank canvas to local professional artists and artistic residents who then create a piece of art. "People of all abilities and skill levels are encouraged to participate," said Florida Keys Arts Council Executive Director Elizabeth Young. "We offer workshops for non-artists, led by local artists. And, we're privileged to have more than 300 Keys artists contributing a piece of art to Connections Project 2018."
Once the nearly 400 completed canvases are collected, the monster mosaic is assembled by volunteers and taken on the road from Key Largo to Key West for six art receptions and exhibitions. All receptions run from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. Exhibits are open during regular business hours of the Arts Council business partner's locations. The Connection Project's road show is sponsored in part by Royal Furniture. The mosaic mural will be in each location for about two weeks before going on the road to the next event. The final opening will be held at the Gato Building on April 26
th
.
After connecting with the art, patrons can also collect art by making a $50 donation for one canvas or a $125 donation for three at any reception or online at
www.keysarts.com
. Once the road show has ended, donors receive a randomly selected piece of the mosaic in the mail. Each work includes an artist statement providing insight into the origin of the work and the artist's thoughts and inspiration.
Proceeds from Connections Project directly benefit Keys' artists and arts organizations through Arts Council grants, including the Artists in Schools grant, the audience development grant known as ArtReach and a Special Projects grant.

Nation's Kinetic Parade Craze Hits Key West with Third Annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade Set for May 5
Key West has long been known for its kinetic energy, but on Saturday, May 5 at 5:00pm, it's about to become quite literal when the Third Annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade rolls through downtown Key West with its cavalcade of art-inspired, human-powered, mobile sculptures, and art bikes, ending at the waterfront amphitheater for "Cinco de Papio Family-Friendly Party," a three-hour festival of food, games, libations, and live music fun. The Parade and festival celebrate creativity and innovation while honoring Stanley Papio, a Florida Keys' pioneering folk artist whose recycled metal sculptures teem with a clever sense of satire, tenacity, and innovation- key ingredients in kinetic parades across the country.
The first Kinetic Sculpture Race rolled down the road in 1969 in Ferndale, California, and later grew to include national cutting-edge race events in Humbolt, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Port Townshend. Since then, many communities have joined the kinetic craze, offering their own variation of these floats-with-moving-parts-parades. Kinetic-inspired dream machine creators spend months designing and building their sculptures, then must complete a course over terrain that varies from muddy roads to swift-flowing rivers.
Key West Art & Historical Society, steward to the island's cultural heritage, took the region's laid-back attitude and rebel ingenuity into account when kicking off its own Parade in May 2016, eliminating the "race" component from the mix but adding the element of "art bikes" for the town known for its pedaling revelers. Arising from a long-percolating idea of former KWAHS staff member Gerri Sidoti, which won the support of a prestigious Knight Arts Challenge grant-which rewards the best and most innovative ideas in the arts-and the additional support of the Helmerich Trust, the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys, and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, the Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade was set in motion. DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS WE HAD TO EDIT DOWN ABOUT 1/2 OF THE ORIGINAL WONDERFUL E-MAIL SENT TO US..Go to their sites for Complete Info.

On May 4 through May 6, Key West Art & Historical Society invites the community and island visitors to celebrate the spirit of a man known for his creativity, innovation, and rebel flair with a weekend of kinetic events featuring the third annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade and an inaugural post-parade festival. The weekend celebrates Stanley Papio, a folk artist with a clever sense of satire and a tenacity that continues to reverberate 34 years after his passing.
Papio was a man well ahead of his time, using welding skills acquired in the U.S. Army during World War II to make art from recycled metal materials that most other people thought of as junk. No one seemed to mind at first-Stanley's home and surroundings in Key Largo were part of an isolated and undeveloped stretch of highway on U.S. 1 when he moved there in 1949. Over time, his yard became a treasure trove of materials for his artmaking, piled high with old cars, washing machines, and other metal appliances, fenced in by welded-together bed springs.

The Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade is sponsored in part by the Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council of the Arts and Culture, the State of Florida, and Helmerich Trust. Additional "Papio's Pals" support provided by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, Historic Tours of America, Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, Jimmy Lane Real Estate Team, Premier Painting, Pirate Radio, The Peace Store, All Keys Insulation, Camping Florida Keys, and Blu on White Vacation Rentals.

Historic Tours of America Join Papio's Pals for Kinetic Parade Education Outreach and Artist Stipends with Sponsorship
Historic Tours of
America has joined Key West Art & Historical Society's growing sponsorship program of "Papio's Pals" with a $2,500 donation towards artist stipends and artist-in-schools programs for the third annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade. More than eight teams of artists and four groups of public school students assisted by adult artists in STEAM explorations will work towards the creation of their kinetic sculpture floats for the May 5 parade.
The cavalcade of human-powered, mobile sculptures and art bikes, and the post-parade Cinco de Papio Family-Friendly Party festival ending at the waterfront amphitheater celebrate creativity and innovation while honoring Stanley Papio, a Florida Keys' pioneering folk artist whose recycled metal sculptures teem with a clever sense of satire, tenacity, and innovation.
With the help of generous businesses and individuals like Historic Tours of America and a $2,000 donation from Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina, the Society continues its tradition of supporting artist and school awardees with sponsorships that help propel them forward to roll their clever creations down Duval Street on Saturday, May 5 at 5:00pm with other registered kinetic sculpture float and art bike entrants.
Participating artists and schools can apply for a limited number of sponsorships and scholarships by visiting
papiokineticparade.com for proposal submission information and guidelines. Selection is made on concepts of kinetics, creativity, and recycling, with wit, wheels, welding, and wire weighing in. A float that is human powered is the only necessary requirement.
To sponsors artists, artist teams, and school groups with a tiered "Papio's Pals" sponsorship program, contact Shawn Cowles at 305-295-6616 x 111.

Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates Captain Outrageous in "That's Outrageous!" Exhibit
The Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the acclaimed late Key West artist Captain Outrageous in "
That's Outrageous!,"
a retrospective featuring more than 40 works that explores his pop art style across several different mediums. The exhibit opens Friday, April 13, with a special reception held from 6:00pm-8:30pm in the Bryan Gallery at the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street.
Spanning nearly four decades in Key West, Captain Outrageous imprinted his indelible mark on the island with both his colorful artwork and personality. He made the world his canvas and painted thousands of items - bicycles, scooters, furniture, clothing, mannequins, cars, camper vans, sinks, musical instruments, telephones, and even toilet seats - with a pop art design style à la Roy Lichtenstein, but with a flair and humor decidedly his own. A true Key West character, he embodied the spirit of the island, and his creations are celebrated and collected by many.
"
That's Outrageous!"
runs through Sunday, June 24 and is sponsored in part by the Captain Outrageous Foundation. For more information, call Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D., at 305.295.6616 x 112 or visit

The Key West Ambassadors Academy graduated its 29th class during Tuesday's City Commission meeting. Twenty-four enthusiastic citizens participated in the 12-week class. They join the more than 500 citizens who now have a better insight to the workings of City government. Each class of the Key West Ambassadors Program has been a special blend of dedicated, involved citizens.
During Tuesday's City Commission meeting, City Manager Jim Scholl congratulated Class 29. Four current city leaders -- Mayor Craig Cates, Commissioners Clayton Lopez, Margaret Romero and Sam Kauffman - were elected after finishing this program. Other alumni have served as commissioners as well as sitting on other City boards.
The Key West Ambassadors Academy was established in 2003 and is facilitated by volunteers, all of whom graduated the program. Volunteers LeeAnne Holland, Stuart Strickland, John Teets, and Lois Songer facilitated the class.

Due to the overwhelming success of the Duval Loop, the free bus route will continue to run seven days a week. When it was launched, it was expected to go back to weekends only after Easter. However, the Loop is popular all week long.
This free hop-on hop-off bus service runs from the City's Park and Ride on Grinnell Street, along Caroline Street, up the length of Whitehead, then returns down the length of Simonton to Fleming. Funded by last year's one-dollar increase in parking meter rates, the Duval Loop provides free and easy access to restaurants, galleries, gift shops and theatres. Just park once and forget it.
The Duval Loop makes 16 stops along the way, and runs every half hour in the mornings -- from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. -- and it runs every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. until midnight. For a detailed schedule or to track the Duval Loop bus in real time, go to

Key West Mayor Craig Cates proclaimed April 9
th
through the 13th as National Boys and Girls Club Week, honoring the importance of this organization to our local families and tomorrow's leaders.
"Many young people need professional youth services to help them cope with a wide range of social and financial hardships," read the proclamation, and "the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Keys area provide services to more than 450 young people annually and are at the forefront of efforts in substance abuse, mentoring, academic tutoring, arts and crafts, computer skills, life skills, recreation programs, cultural enrichment and community service, and literacy programs."
The national organization has some 2,000 clubs, serving more than 3 million children.
Dan Dombrowski, executive director of the program, noted that the local clubs were in dire straits following Hurricane Irma. He thanked the generosity of the community and of the national organization for vital funding that helped keep the program alive. The clubhouse in Big Pine Key was destroyed by the hurricane and the program is operating out of a local church. The kids presented the mayor and commissioners with lobster floats painted with the club logo in honor of the support that has kept the organization afloat after the storm

A quick update on White Street pier indicates that the lights are currently turned off due to electrical conditions that require repair and that one of the bridges leading to the actual fishing area will need to be replaced due to hurricane damage. Plans are in place but there is no definitive date yet.
It was also noted that the Rest Beach area is about to undergo rehabilitation and construction of a seawall to address the erosion of the area and the creep towards the roadway.
IGUANAS
not covered at the meeting, but some useful information
I attended a workshop held by FWC, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission last week in Key West which had a lot of good and simple to use information
Informative topics that were covered included Prevention, Exclusion, Deterrence, And Habitat Modification
There is now a dedicated FWC employee (biologist) in Marathon whose focus is non-native fish and wildlife species
FWCis not at the point where they can come, trap, and carry away your iguanas, but they can provide valuable insight and information
