Throughout his teenage life he experimented in different artistic mediums, but it wasn't until 2003 that his art became more of a full-on hobby. Aside from abstraction and 3D works on canvas, he incorporates damaged antique engravings and artifacts from the 18
th century into his pieces. Several of his pieces are in world-renowned chef Gerry Garvin's restaurant in Hollywood and he participated in a group show in NYC featuring works by Yoko Ono. In the summer of 2010 his painting of "Washington, DC: Night in the City Series" was chosen to be featured in the national calendar for the American Civil Liberties Union.

2018 SOLSTICE STUDENT EXHIBITION
In mid-June, a group of watercolor enthusiasts met each night at the beach, just before sunset, with paints, brushes and open imaginations. Led by beloved Key West-New York artist Susan Sugar, the students learned new ways of observing the ephemeral shapes and transitory moods of the evening sky. Presented are a selection of the small format watercolors they created.
In the ZABAR PROJECT GALLERY ; Sponsored by "Hands On"
"THE GOLDEN HOUR"
Matt Stock is a Florida native who finds inspiration in the natural elements of water, earth, and sky. Also drawn toward untold stories and subjects that are looking for a voice and a champion, he works cooperatively with national and state parks, non-profit organizations, and historical societies to raise awareness about the world around us. Matt Stock has been recognized by his peers being juried into national art exhibitions and earning him several international awards.
Matt's area of expertise is in creating hyper-realistic nighttime photographs with a technique called Painting with Light in the Dark
®
in which he and his team meticulously illuminate a scene on location using light sources ranging from the Milky Way and full moon to specialized lighting tools through the course of many hours and hundreds of individual exposures. He then digitally weaves elements of each of these exposures into a single luminous composition in post-production using Adobe Photoshop. Everything seen in his work was captured in real time and on location. Some photographs can only happen once a year, some even less frequently. In the SAGER GALLERY

Part 2 LIBAA
THE LONG ISLAND BLACK ARTIST ASSOCIATION
was founded in 1968 by a small group of artists namely, James Counts and Ernest Snell, Raymond Miles, and Charles Winslow. The purpose of the association is to help African-American artist find a conduit for the exhibition of their work. To that end it has continually sought new venues for exhibiting the work of its' members locally, nationally and internationally and has also encouraged the artist's individual efforts to find recognition.
The organization has also had other goals; to provide an atmosphere of fellowship in which professional and semi professional artists could exchange ideas, techniques and mutual support in the field of visual arts; to discover potential talent; to provide a cultural service to the community and offer a "sensitive environment" for the cultural expression of the larger African-American community. The Association is the only such supportive group in the Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk .
Through out the years the association has exhibited in many museums, galleries, colleges, universities, libraries, churches, and corporations through out the country. Works by individuals are in collections in the U.S.A., Canada, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe.
The group is open to anyone who expresses an interest in joining. However you must be a member to exhibit with the group. For further information please write to the LONG ISLAND BLACK ARTIST ASSOCIATION, Post Office Box 141, Hempstead, Long Island, New York, 11550-0141.

Info. & Photos from Alyson Crean
Crime in Key West dropped by almost 12 percent for the first six months of the year, when compared to the first half of 2017, a statistic that reflects the ongoing trend of reduced crime in the city. Non-violent crime dropped by 13.6 percent, while the number of violent crimes remained about the same.
Each year the Key West Police Department reports its crime statistics to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. These numbers are compiled for the first six months of the year, and then again for an overall annual tally. The statistics are compiled for the entire state by the FDLE in its Uniform Crime Reporting system.
There were fewer burglaries when comparing the first six months of 2017 to the beginning of 2018. There were 49 reported last year and just 26 in the same time period this year. Burglaries of conveyances were also down, with just 20 in 2018 compared with 30 for the first half of 2017. Bicycle thefts - a common problem in Key West - dropped from 86 for the first half of 2017 to 67 in the first half of this year.
Police Chief Donie Lee is always cautious about using the mid-year numbers to ascertain trends. However, year in and year out, he stresses that it's the partnership between the community and the Department that has set the overall trend. "Home and car burglaries continue to drop," he said. "I attribute much of that to residents' and visitors' awareness. The simple act of locking the doors and windows of your home and your car can make a difference in the numbers of these crimes of opportunity."

Three Bell, Florida men cited for possessing 34 over-the-limit lobster.
Upper Keys Marine Deputy Nelson Sanchez was on patrol at 6 a.m. Thursday during the 2018 Lobster Mini Season when he stopped a vessel in the Whale Harbor Channel for an inspection. From a distance, Sanchez noticed at least two dive bags full of lobsters on board.
Once aboard, Sanchez searched all the dive bags and coolers on board. He found 52, legal-sized lobsters. Deputy Sanchez had the vessel captain follow him to the FWC Station nearby. Once there, he asked who all were harvesting lobster. Three men and a juvenile stated they took the lobsters.
The three men stated they didn't realize how many lobsters they had harvested.
The three men were given mandatory notices to appear in court for possession of the over-the-limit lobsters.
Deputy Sanchez was able to return the illegally-taken lobsters to the water alive.

Jerome John Garcia "Jerry " ( August 1, 1942 - August 9, 1995 ) was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known
for his work as the lead guitarist and as a vocalist with the band Grateful Dead, which came to prominence during the counterculture era in the 1960s. Although he disavowed the
role, Garcia was viewed by many as the leader or " spokesman "
of the group.
He was well known for his distinctive guitar playing and
was ranked 13th in Rolling Stone Magazine's
" 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time " cover story.
We are offering two amazing Fine Art Photographic

FKCC HOLDS TRIPLE GRADUATION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMIES
Florida Keys Community College held a graduation ceremony on July 13 for three law enforcement training academies completed at its Upper Keys Center. A total of 35 cadets-27 in basic law enforcement academies and eight in a correctional officer crossover to law enforcement academy-successfully completed their respective training program. Upon passing the state certification exam, each will be eligible to become Florida Law Enforcement Officers.
Through partnerships with the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and the Homestead Police Department seven graduates have already secured employment. During the ceremony, Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay swore in two cadets and Homestead Police Captain Garland Wright swore in five cadets, inducting them into their new roles as law enforcement officers.
A total of 35 cadets graduated from FKCC's Basic Law Enforcement Academies #65 and #66 (pictured) and Correctional Officer Crossover Training to Law Enforcement Academy #28.
Cathy Torres, Director of FKCC's Institute for Public Safety, recognized top performing graduates with special accolades. Leadership awards were given to the class captains of each academy: Anthony Machado, Ana Coello, and Theodore Taylor. Jacquelyn Paschel, Luis Ledesma, and Allan Piggott were recognized for academic achievement. "Top Gun" honors went to Fabian Benito-Revollo and Kevin Sanchez-Melendez. The coveted "PIG" awards were presented to Andersen Harrill, Luis Ledesma, and Brandon Wilcox.
FKCC's BLE 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 three upcoming academies. A basic law enforcement academy and a correctional officer crossover to law enforcement academy start in August in FKCC's Upper Keys Center. FKCC will also begin a basic law enforcement academy at the Key West Campus in January. For more information about FKCC's Institute for Public Safety, visit
