Opening Reception for Rick Worth & AD Tinkham's New Paintings
(Although the Reception has Past) : The Exhibition will be Up for Many Weeks
Intimate Key West vignettes and dramatic nautical vistas share the walls when Rick Worth and A.D. Tinkham open at Jag Gallery. "We are excited to start our season with Rick and A.D." said gallery owner Letty Nowak" They've both been making work here for several years" Though they share the same island, their visions of Key West are unique. Tinkham, who says that he feels most alive when on the water in life threatening storms, uses subtle values to capture the power and depth of untamed oceans. Worth incorporates the colorful history of Key West not only in his vivid portraits of local landscapes and vernacular architecture, but in the vintage roof tiles he often uses as canvas. Join both artists at JAG gallery, 1075 Duval St Space 23 6-8 pm

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATRE 2020 THE TWILIGHT ZONE FEB 18-MARCH 14
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!"
Always one of our most popular shows of any season, come enjoy an evening of quirky, out-of-the-ordinary short plays, populated with a host of top Key West actors.
FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DeLUNE MARCH 24-APRIL 18
A timeless love story of a waitress and a short order cook. Their sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious interplay lights up this one night stand between two lonely people who long for more.
As Clair de Lune plays on the radio, Johnny woos the reluctant Frankie and we root for this odd couple to find their way to each other and out of their past disappointments. Terrence McNally was recently awarded the Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement. The Red Barn first produced this play in 1990 and is thrilled to honor Mr. McNally and our theatre's 40th Anniversary with another production of this beautiful play.

5901 College Rd.
The College of the Florida Keys continues its 2020 VIP Series with "The Jewish Underground: Smuggling Refugees from Cuba to Key West." The presentation, led by local author and historian Arlo Haskell, is on Wednesday, March 4 at 7 p.m. in the Tennessee Williams Theatre on the Key West Campus.
Haskell will share the little-known story of thousands of Jewish immigrants who became refugees in Cuba in the 1920s when they were barred from entering the United States. Cuban authorities looked the other way as smugglers transported them to Key West, pitting them against powerful local officials who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan and inspiring Ernest Hemingway's novel "To Have and Have Not."
Haskell is an award-winning author, historian, literary organizer, and publisher. He is executive director of the Key West Literary Seminar, publisher of Sand Paper Press, and author of "The Jews of Key West: Smugglers, Cigar Makers, and Revolutionaries," which received the Florida Book Award's Gold Medal for Florida Nonfiction.
In its seventh season, the College's VIP Series invites the community to learn from the visions, ideas, and perspectives of speakers of local, regional, and national prominence. The 2020 season, sponsored by Centennial Bank, includes presentations that focus on timely and relevant topics.
Tickets are $5 at the door. Admission is free for students at CFK and Monroe County schools. For more information, call CFK at 305-296-9081 or visit www.fkcc.edu.
ALSO
The College of the Florida Keys invites the community to celebrate the groundbreaking for its new Upper Keys Center. A ceremony will be held at the site of the new building at Mile Marker 106.4 on the Overseas Highway in Key Largo on Friday, March 27 at 9:30 a.m. The 2.12-acre property, which previously housed a "Shell World" store, has been cleared to prepare for construction of the 38,000-square-foot CFK facility.
The new Upper Keys Center, which is scheduled to open in August 2021, will replace the College's limited space held at Coral Shores High School and will allow the College to double its capacity to serve more than 300 students annually. The College plans to expand five existing programs in the Upper Keys: nursing, emergency medical technician, paramedic, marine environmental technology, public safety (law enforcement and corrections academies), and apprenticeships. In addition, the College plans to develop new programs.
The College was awarded a $16 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) last year to construct the new facility. An additional $4 million is being raised from local sources.

pre-professional, nonprofit student dance company. The spring soiree will feature dance performances in the beautiful gardens by the company, music by father/daughter duo Matt and Belle Jampol, delectable edibles, and libations. All proceeds will help fund the production of the company's 3

Bahama Village Music Program Director looks back 20 years and forward to March 29 Birthday Bash at Coffee Butler Amphitheater
On Sunday, March 29, 2020 from 12:00pm - 6:00pm, the Bahama Village Music Program invites the public to help them celebrate their 20
th
anniversary with a Birthday Bash at the Coffee Butler Amphitheater-a free, family-friendly day filled with music and performances by Key West's finest musicians and BVMP students, audience jam-alongs, an artisan market, a cash bar, food trucks, a silent auction, a kid's zone, the inaugural presentation of the Key West Music Hall of Fame, and of course, birthday cake.
Throughout the program's two decades, the Bahama Village Music Program has served the community through music, offering over 20,000 free lessons taught by more than a dozen student teachers, professional instructors, and dedicated volunteers to over 2,000 children who could not otherwise afford it.
"BVMP has always been my safe place," says
Program Director Kate Divoll, who began her studies at the then-new program at the age of 7 in 1999. "
I learned patience, humility, and the importance of practice here."
Since then, Divoll has watched the program grow from a storage room with three keyboards to a comprehensive music school with 200 students and two choir programs, two strings programs, a jazz ensemble, a ukulele orchestra, a steel pan band, a musical theatre program, music theory and songwriting classes, the "School of Rock" band, contemporary and Junkanoo dance, and a summer music camp-all of which she now oversees with Executive Director Katchen Duncan.
Divoll schedules and teaches lessons, oversees teenage mentors and their stipends, writes grants, and directs the overall implementation of the program. But just as important to her is tending to each child's social-emotional growth and thesense of community needed to help their self-esteem soar.
"I have given countless hugs, snacks, and pep talks to our students," she says. "The level of trust partnered with a completely free, student-driven music curriculum is something to behold."
Behold the magic of it on Sunday, March 29 at their 20
th
Birthday Bash as they celebrate this important program that has inspired children island-wide to discover the musician within and thank the donors, foundations, and community-members that have supported them over the years.
"We would not be celebrating our 20th year without the kindness and generosity of so many," says Divoll. "A whole-hearted thank you to all that have contributed. Here's to another 20 years!".

Dear Tropic Cinema Members and Community,
It has been my privilege to serve on the Tropic Cinema's Board of Directors for six years and then as your Executive Director for the past 18 months. I came into the executive director role at a unique time in the Tropic's history, a time that required balancing the needs of our community in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma with navigating the seismic shifts in the film industry.
I had the opportunity to oversee the renovation and updating of the facilities, while expanding the scope and diversification of Tropic Cinema's special programming. I'm proud of the over 100 special events and screenings we programmed during my tenure, which were designed to deliver variety for the entire island community.
Having achieved these goals and having had the good fortune to be awarded a Knight Foundation Grant, I feel it is time for me to step aside to pursue my other creative projects in theater, film and photography. As the film industry continues to evolve there are a lot of challenges ahead, but I am confident that the Tropic will be able to meet these challenges and move forward stronger than ever.
Finally, I would like to thank the staff, volunteers, donors and members. The Tropic holds a unique and important place in the Key West community and none of it would be possible without your generosity, time and support.
I'll see you at the Tropic!
Michael Marrero

After a 34 career with the Key West Fire Department, Fire Chief Michael Davila was honored at last night's City Commission meeting where he was met with a standing ovation. City Manager Greg Veliz took the opportunity to acknowledge the dedication and commitment that went into such a successful career, not only the series of promotions with their increased levels of responsibility, but the mettle that made those promotions possible. He noted the nights away from family, the responsibility of leadership and of keeping the community safe.
"I've seen a lot of changes over the 34 years of my career, all positive," said Davila. "It's been my honor and privilege to lead such a professional group of guys and women."
Davila noted that he is most proud of attaining a Class One certification for the department, a rating that is not only rare, but brings Key West property owners lower insurance rates.
Commissioner Billy Wardlow - himself a retired Key West Fire Chief called Davila "my main man. Michael taught me a lot and I taught him. He did one hell of a job. Thank you for all you've done for the city."
Wardlow was a captain with the department when Davila came on board.
Veliz then introduced the City's new Fire Chief, Alan Averette, who has been with the department since 1998.
"I am humbled by the titled I'm being honored with," said Averette, "but more so by the caliber of people I'm about to represent. The men and women of the Key West Fire Department are class one and second to none."

Contractors began repaving the stretch of Simonton Street from Truman Avenue to Front Street. The project, which is expected to take about six months, will tackle one block at a time, repairing sidewalks, upgrading curb ramps, repaving and re-striping the road.
Work hours will be from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Each block is expected to take two to three weeks to complete. There will be some closures on the affected blocks, but detour routes will be clearly marked. Because work is being conducted just one block at a time, traffic impacts are not expected to be cumbersome.

The City of Key West wants to remind residents aware that they cannot block off parts of the public right of way for private parking. Now that season is getting into full swing, City officials have received complaints that some residents are posting signs or even using cones and barricades to reserve parking spaces along the city streets. The right of way is public property, and cannot be marked with private "No Parking," "No Trespassing," or other signs. Nor can this area be blocked with cones or other obstructions.
The City's Code Compliance and Parking Enforcement officers will be addressing this illegal use citywide in the coming weeks. Anyone who has tried to reserve city right of way for private use is warned to take down the signs or remove the blockage immediately. Cones or other illegal blockades will be removed.

Gracy sends regards and tells us : This website was created to make easier to event goers to find times and dates. Companies can save time and always have updated/available events available to them and their customers. They don't have to search every local news paper to find what they need. They have ready and combined information on one calendar. It's also online and therefore very convenient. Most people are digital nowadays. Another selling point is that the calendar of events will provide useful information that can be used for scheduling. Any company who is having a special event can look at the global calendar and avoid clashing times/dates with other organizations. This also allows them to attract more people to their events by scheduling their own events when other organizations aren't scheduled.
