During the recent City Commission meeting, Commissioner Richard Payne presented John Leigh McKillip with a City challenge coin and announced the naming of Lake McKillip in New Town.
The "lake" is a salt pond, one of three located along the Salt Run Creek. It abuts 10
th
Street and covers about four acres of saltwater habitat.
McKillip, born and raised in Key West, built his house in 1960 in the neighborhood that overlooks the lake. He raised his family there and has spent many years on its waters.
he original request to name the body of water came from McKillip's son Alan.
"Growing up on the 'first pond' was great!" he wrote in a letter to Commissioner Payne. "My dad and I built several pram and skiff styled boats which were launched in the pond... We used to have row boat races in the pond."
The designation is in honor of McKillip's 60 years of service, caring for the lake. Commissioner Payne noted that the lake has never been named, and that McKillip - who lives next to the lake --- has for decades cleaned up around the lake and kept it in its park-like condition.

Hi all! I've had a very busy show season this year with Continuum WPB, live Painting two shows at Art Serve and Art Ft Lauderdale - this was an exiting show to be a part of, the concept was to put art into high end show homes and viewers access each exhibit via water taxi. I will be posting updates on next year's show so keep a look out for that!
I've also been flexing my wings with some clothing and jewelry design. The dress I'm wearing in the photos is a painting printed onto fabric then made into a unique garment. More prints and designs to come in the near future. Feel free to message me if interested in a dress, top or scarf, there are a few different prints to choose from.
The birch bark jewelry is also a project I've been exited to be working on recently, and will have a few pieces at Paul's Gallery on July 21. I'm Also Looking Forward to Our November 2018 Art Exhibition at Gildea Contemporary Fine Art Gallery. Hazel.
In Fairness to this Editor ; we were at our Mutual Friends South Florida Symphony Orchestra's Solo Performance of World Reknowned Concert Pianist Svetlana Smolina; and although Hazel is Stunning Runway Model Tall ; she was wearing High Heels.

$100 Kick-Starter Scholarships; Application Fee Waived
Florida Keys Community College is holding three "Fast Track to Fall Enrollment Expos" to help new students quickly get on the pathway toward their academic goals this fall semester, which begins August 20. The Fast Track to Fall events will provide essential information about degree and certificate options as well as financial aid and payment plans. New students will have their application fee waived, a savings of $30, and receive a $100 Kick-Starter Scholarship.
The Fast Track to Fall events will be held:
Monday, July 23 at 6 p.m. at the Middle Keys Center at Marathon High School.
Tuesday, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the Upper Keys Center at Coral Shores High School.
Wednesday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Key West Campus
Prospective students are encouraged to bring the following items, if readily available, to further expedite the admissions process:
Sealed official transcripts (college and high school).
Two forms of proof of Florida residency (such as a Florida driver's license and Florida vehicle registration).
Official test scores (SAT, ACT, and/or PERT).
New this fall semester, FKCC is introducing apprenticeships in Electrical and Carpentry. The on-the-job training programs partner the College with the local construction industry to train workers looking to start or advance in their respective careers. Students learn concepts in the classroom and practice their skills under the supervision of their sponsoring employer. Tuition is free and students earn a paycheck with incremental raises as they progress through the program.
FKCC is also still welcoming students to its newer programs, including the Bachelor of Applied Science in Supervision and Management and the Associate in Science in Engineering Technology: Renewable Energy Technician.
