Dear Friends and Supporters,
The extremely important ROGO Trial, which was supposed to have taken place in early October, has been postponed until the week of December 9,
th
.
If you missed our previous emails, Key West, Marathon, and Islamorada have each agreed to accept 300 of the offered 1300 ROGOs (new residential building allocations). Accepting these additional ROGOs goes against the science-based limitations that were placed on Monroe County when it was initially designated an Area of Critical State Concern in 1974.
Last Stand has joined with 13 other environmental, civic, and neighborhood organizations, representing thousands of voters and property owners, to "Say NO to 1300 More ROGOs". Considering how great an impact even more development would have on the Keys, our quality of life and carrying capacity (think about nearshore water quality, hurricane evacuation, everyday traffic congestion, potable water and sewer-system limitations), Last Stand feels this is a critical Keys-wide issue that needs our immediate attention and support. To that end, Last Stand has made a total financial contribution of $25,000 to support this mostly volunteer-based effort.
Please consider a tax-deductible donation - no matter how small. Our skilled lawyers and expert witnesses feel this issue is so important that most of them are working for free! Facts matter, and there's a strong legal case on our side.
However, litigation is expensive and there are costs (such as recording fees and trial transcripts) that must be paid for. We hope we can count on your support for this critical effort and you will make a generous donation today.
Make checks payable* and mail to:
Florida Keys IWLA
(short for Florida Keys Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America)
P.O. Box 236
Homestead, FL 33090-0236 ,
*IMPORTANT:
>>> Write "
ROGO Costs" on the Memo Line.
The volunteer lawyers depend on our community to keep up the good fight. Please help, and please come to the Final Hearing starting December 9 to show your support and watch your generous contributions at work. This is a fight we can win with community support.
December 9 - 17, 9:00 am each weekday morning.
Marathon City Hall - Council Chambers Room
9805 Overseas Highway, Marathon, FL 33050.
We hope to see you there,

First Play of the 2019 / 2020 Season
"TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS"
Dec 10, 2019 - Jan 4, 2020
Based on the book by Cheryl Strayed. Adapted by Nia Vardalos.
Directed By: Joy Hawkins
A struggling writer takes over as an online advice columnist who admits she doesn't have all the answers but mines her own mistakes to empathically respond to dilemmas that are at the heart of being human. The play was based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed of "Wild" fame (a book and movie starring Reese Witherspoon) and was originally directed by Thomas Kail, the director of Hamilton. Tiny Beautiful Things is a luminous play about reaching when you're stuck, healing when you're broken and finding the courage and humor to take on the questions which sometimes have no answers.

Crosstown Greenway Public Workshop
November 5th, 6 pm, Commission Chambers, City Hall
The City of Key West is seeking input from the community for the creation of a Neighborhood Greenway along Staples Ave. and Von Phister St. between 12th and Reynolds Streets, called the Crosstown Greenway.
A Neighborhood Greenway is a street with low motorized traffic volumes -- less than 3,000 vehicles per day -- and speeds of 20 mph or less, that is designated and designed to give bicycle and pedestrians travel priority. This project could include more street trees, interventions to slow traffic, new crosswalks and pedestrian infrastructure, asphalt art, and other in-street infrastructure.
Working with urban planning firm Street Plans, the City will be testing out the selected design strategies using low-cost, temporary materials, a project approach known as Tactical Urbanism. The community is a crucial component of this process is you. Once the project team decides on a design, we'll all go out and build the project together.
On Tuesday, November 5th at 6 pm, the community is invited to come to the Commission Chambers at City Hall for the first public workshop to help shape this project.

Zazoo Fine Art Gallery on historic Duval Street is pleased to host the first annual
Art From the Heart fundraising event at the gallery - 622 Duval Street, Key West. Ph.305.294.8925
Portion of the days sales will benefit the SPCA and the night will be highlighted with a live auction of an original painting by Felix the Cat Artist Don Oriolo with the entire art auction proceeds benefiting the SPCA. Don will paint the artwork during the event! Don Oriolo is well known across the entertainment spectrum, having been a fixture in the art, music, television, and film industries for decades. Oriolo is also widely admired for his charitable and philanthropic endeavours. In June 2018, Don spearheaded the largest Cat Rescue in the North-Eastern states history. His nonprofit group ' Kittens With a Mission ' rescued 205 cats from horrific conditions at a dilapidated home, which didn't have running water or electricity. Spending weeks at the home collecting the cats to be taken to for medical treatment, Don personally paid the $25 fee to have each cat spayed or neutered before having them put up for adoption. Don also rescues horses and houses them at his Blue Arrow Farm in Pine Island, NY. With his history of supporting animal causes - it is only natural that Don's Zazoo Fine Art Gallery partners with the Florida Keys SPCA.
Zazoo Fine Art Gallery features Don Oriolo's artwork of Felix the Cat, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Betty Boop, Popeye and Elvis Presley. In addition Zazoo represents over 20 world-renowned Artists and Photographers ( Artists - Tom Everhart, Ronnie Wood, Dr Seuss, Fabio Napoleoni, Tracy 168 and Photographers - Terry O'Neill, Milton H. Greene, Bob Gruen, Douglas Kirkland, Baron Wolman ) as well as publishes art and photography. Zazoo has a wide range of art, photography and collectibles for the novice fan to the serious collector.

Key West Film Festival to honor "Boys Don't Cry" filmmaker Kimberly Peirce and MASH & "Alien" actor Tom Skerritt with prestigious Golden Key Awards at Eighth Annual Festival
Key West Film Festival announced that "Boys Don't Cry" filmmaker Kimberly Peirce and "Alien" actor Tom Skerritt will receive prestigious Golden Key Awards at this year's festival, running November 20-24, 2019 at the Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton Street.
Peirce, a writer, director, and Florida native who attended high school in Miami, will be honored on the 20th anniversary of the release of the groundbreaking film "Boys Don't Cry," which she co-wrote and directed. The festival will screen the film on Friday, November 22, with Peirce joining Film at Lincoln Center Deputy Director Eugene Hernandez for a pre-screening discussion.
Two-time Golden Globe nominee and "Picket Fences" Best Actor Award winner Skerritt, who has appeared in more than 40 films including "Top Gun" with former Key West resident Kelly McGillis, will be interviewed by Rolling Stone's David Fear at a Thursday, November 21 40th anniversary screening of the seminal sci-fi film "Alien," in which Skerritt played the part of Captain Arthur Dallas. "Alien" will be preceded by a screening of the award-winning short film "The Phantom 52," which premiered at Sundance 2019 and stars Skerritt. Director Geoff Marslett will also be in attendance.
"We are beyond thrilled and humbled to be able to honor both Kimberly and Tom on major anniversaries of two films that broke boundaries and rules for their genre and paved the way for so many future voices to express their creativity," says Key West Film Festival Director of Programming Michael Tuckman.
Skerritt and Peirce join the Festival's past Golden Key Award winners Burt Reynolds, Marisa Tomei, Paul Verhoeven, Alan Cumming, Harmony Korine, Lois Smith, Mariel Hemingway, and many other celebrated actors and filmmakers. Now in its 8th year, the much-noted Festival is a showcase for dozens of cinematic offerings while highlighting visiting filmmakers, actors, directors, and industry leaders through discussions and workshops, with access to some of the biggest names in the film business. Red carpet events, parties and award ceremonies round out a world-class festival experience 'Where Passion Meets Paradise.'
VIP and All-Access Pass festival-goers can join the honorees in viewing and discussing their classic films. Limited one-day passes are pending seat availability for these events. The complete 2019 line-up of films will be officially unveiled to the public on Tuesday, October 29 during a Festival kick-off party held at Mangoes Restaurant, 700 Duval Street, from 7:30pm - 9:00pm. Admission is free.

Key West Farmers Market at Truman Waterfront 10a-2pm
On July 16 the Key West City Council approved a weekly Farmers Market at Truman Waterfront. The decision came after new organizers came forward to fill the void left by the abrupt departure of the Green Market at Bayview Park. Jill Snodgrass and Sean Krikorian, owners of the event firm Daily Plan-it, already organize the popular seasonal Key West Artisan Market at Higgs Beach so it was a natural fit. "We feature many of the same vendors who came to us expressing a need and desire to continue serving the people of Key West," Krikorian explained. "Many of them participate in a market almost every day somewhere in the keys, so missing an option on Thursdays left a void for them as well as the patrons." The Truman Waterfront Advisory Board reached
out to encourage selection of that recently renovated area as the new location and both vendors and organizers agreed it is a perfect choice.
The new event began August 1 and continue every Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm. The show will feature produce sold by the Homestead farmer who grows it, Rosie, the famous cheese lady, orchids and native plants, pickles, honey, handcrafted items and other specialties. Organizers are applying to make the show EBT/SNAP friendly so affordable fresh food will be available to more people. Working locals are urged to take advantage of the many prepared items and stop at the market during their lunch break to enjoy a seaside picnic while they shop. Parking is plentiful and free with a resident parking permit. Visitors are encouraged to use the free pink Duval Loop Bus which stops close by. The new splash park and tours of the Ingham are also available in the park.
"When the Green Market closed many locals were very vocal about wanting a farmers market option in their backyard." Krikorian said, "We hope everyone shows up to support this and helps make sure its sustainable."

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.

Hello Movie Lovers,
High Season is almost upon us as the temperature drops to a chilly 85 degrees. What better way to escape the madness than enjoying a great film in a great theater. The Tropic staff and I are excited to announce the upcoming 2019/20 Tropic Season! Last season we had over 80 special screenings and we're looking forward to bringing you another diverse line-up of programming.
Monday Night Classics - It's back! One of our favorite series returns with a look at classic films, themed monthly, showcasing master filmmakers and film movements.
Arts & Cultural Series - After you hit up your favorite Sunday brunch spot, join us for a matinee screening of opera, museum exhibition, ballet or a theatrical production from around the globe.
Cinematheque Series- Cutting edge international films from around the world. Thursday nights starting in December, just in time for Christmas.
Cult Classics - It's Key West, and everything should be celebrated including film! Throw on a random costume, grab a drink and enjoy a beloved cult classic. Sing along to Grease, do the time warp to Rocky Horror, sip White Russians with The Big Lebowski and more!
Music on Films - The next best thing to being at an actual concert is watching it on the big screen without the crowds. Join us as we honor all things music, from concert films to musician documentaries.
Filmmaker Series - Inspiring filmmakers and documentarians present and discuss their work with Tropic audiences. Q&A discussion with these filmmakers swing from content questions to filmmaker how-to. This series includes the audience favorite, Southern Circuit Film Tour of Independent Filmmakers.
Key West on Film - Yes, movies are made in Key West, and yes, some of those people can still afford to live here. Come support local filmmakers and productions from around the Keys, including the always entertaining 72 Hour Film Challenge.
Beer, Wine, Booze & Movies - Key West loves booze. Key West loves movies. We have paired Classic films with your favorite wine, beer or spirits. 'Nuff said.

Attack of the B's - Hosted B-Movies from the 50/60/70's. So bad you can't help but love them. Saturdays, all summer long.
I'd like to take another opportunity to thank all the members for your continued support of the Tropic. None of this would be possible without you. You guys rock.
We hope you enjoy this upcoming season and we look forward to seeing you at the Tropic!
Sincerely,
Michael Marrero Executive Director

Key West Art & Historical Society invites locals and tourists to experience a multi-platform, self-guided, and free tour program of Key West's historic sites designed to highlight the island's unique multi-cultural history and heritage through the Key West Historic Marker Tours website and phone app.
Originally designed and launched by Bruce Neff under the auspices of Key West Historic Markers Inc., the program merged with Key West Art & Historical Society in 2018 and consists of three primary elements: a map of cultural and museum attractions featuring 121 historic location markers that pay tribute to Key West's colorful past, phone apps that act as a personal museum docent to support those taking the self-led walking tours, and a comprehensive website at
KWHMT.org that provides a virtual tour of Key West, historic background and community information, digital collections of local postcards and cigar box art, and links to Google maps.
Key West has one of the largest historic districts with the densest amassing of historic frame vernacular buildings in the country. The island's history encompasses unique architecture, Civil War forts, famous authors' homes, connection to wars and revolutions, once-thriving turtle and sponging industries, sunken treasure galleons, slave ships, Flagler's railroad, boom and bust economies, and much more.
To plan your own tour, visit the Key West Historic Marker Tour website at KWHMT.org, download the free Key West Historic Marker Tour phone app at
keywest.oncell.com, or call 305-507-0300 for a free Key West "Voices of History" phone tour. For more information, contact curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D., at 305-295-6616 x112.

Key West Art & Historical Society honors the island's literary history with exhibit at Custom House Museum
Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the "Literary History of Key West," an exhibit that opens with a special reception on Friday, November 1, from 6:00pm -7:30pm and runs through February 9, 2020 in the Byran Gallery at the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street. The exhibit pays tribute to a selection of nearly 40 writers spanning generations and genres.
Among the earliest and most familiar are Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, and Tennessee Williams - literary luminaries that were drawn to the island's bohemian, tropical lifestyle. Others might recognize Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, and John Dos Passos. Then came the 1970s - "
a perfect storm of gorgeous weather, inexpensive housing, tranquility, and tradition," says Convertito - which further attracted writers Thomas McGuane, Jim Harrison, Hunter S. Thompson, James Merrill, Richard Wilbur, and Allison Lurie. Today, the island is home to celebrated writers Judy Blume, Robert Stone, Meg Cabot, Rosalind Brackenbury, Ann Beattie, and Edmund White, as well as the Key West Literary Seminar, the Key West Writers Guild and the Key West Poetry Guild.
"Once the tradition of writers living and working on the island had been established by these early luminaries, others began to follow in their footsteps," says Convertito. "Newcomers to the island embraced the reputation of those who came before them."
With a heavy focus on individual narratives that include their connection to Key West, the exhibit also aims to
serve as a springboard for discovering the island's cultivation of inspired works and the authors who penned them.
"Understanding our long-standing literary tradition is key,"
says Convertito. "
There is such an infusion of people and cultures in Key West, and it furnishes an excellent backdrop for writers, particularly the eccentric perspectives in narrative." Going further, she says, "this island sustains a genuine balance of magical and mysterious which continues to attract Pulitzer Prize winners, Poet Laureates and Nobel Prize winners."

Do you collect interesting and unusual objects? Is your home filled with knickknacks, curios, ornaments, trinkets, baubles, collectibles, artwork, and other objects of interest? Your unique treasures could be part of the upcoming "Key West Collects: Our Community Treasures" exhibit, one of Key West Art & Historical Society's popular returning exhibits, slated for the Custom House Museum from November 22, 2019 through January 5, 2020.
Keys residents who would like to have their own unusual or impressive collections considered for the exhibit should contact KWAHS Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D. at 305-295-6616 x112 or send a description with photographs via email to [email protected].

"Florida Keys residents are fascinated in so many facets of culture, history and the arts," says Society curator Cori Convertito. "Displaying a small representation of their interests allows the museum to generate conversation amongst its visitors."
"Key West Collects: Our Community Treasures" will open with a special reception on November 22, from 6:00pm-7:30pm in the Bumpus Gallery at the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street and will run through January 5, 2020.Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Division of Cultural Affairs.

The Key West Film Festival Launch party, the exciting
8th Annual Key West Film Festival 2019 lineup was announced--
including major fall films from Noah Baumbach and Destin Daniel Cretton.
More than 115 films and V/R pieces will be shown during the 5-day festival, which runs November 20-24. Nearly half of the feature films at the festival will be Florida festival premieres.
Baumbach's MARRIAGE STORY (Netflix), starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, and Cretton's JUST MERCY (Warner Bros. Pictures), starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx serve as the marquee Centerpiece films, joining the previously announced Opening and Closing Night Films, Martin Scorsese's THE IRISHMAN (Netflix) and Trey Edward Shults's Hollywood, FL-basedWAVES (A24). The latter two films play as part of the festival's 5th Annual Critics Focus program, in which two of the nation's top critics curate the slots and have a pre-screening discussion. Shults will appear for a Q&A moderated by Collins and Yamato.
Director of Programming Michael Tuckman says, "We are once again elated to be showcasing some of the major contenders for the Oscars this year and giving audiences in Key West a first look at these films, which are sure to be talked about for decades to come. And we are equally proud of the spotlight we are placing on Florida-based stories, not just through our extensive local programming, but as seen through so many films in our main slate program that take place in or are connected to Florida."
Other Spotlight films include the Florida premieres of Emily Taguchi and Jake Lefferman's AFTER PARKLAND, who will both attend the festival, and Bert & Bertie's TROOP ZERO, starring Viola Davis and Allison Janney and written by Florida native Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild). Another Florida native, acclaimed filmmaker Ondi Timoner, returns to KWFF with a special director's cut of her film MAPPLETHORPE, which took home the award for Best LGBTQ Film at KWFF 2018.
Film critics in attendance at this year's festival will include Collins, Yamato, and Eric Kohn, Executive Editor & Chief Critic of IndieWire; David Fear, Senior Editor and critic at Rolling Stone; Eugene Hernandez, Co-Publisher of Film Comment; Monica Castillo of RogerEbert.com; Tomris Laffly of Variety; Shirrel Rhoades of Adams Publishing Group, and Hans Morgenstern of the Miami New Times. These critics will participate in the 5
th Annual Critics Panel, moderated by Eric Kohn, and collaborate to decide the winner of KWFF's fourth annual Critics Prize. Unique in its nature, the Critics Prize, voted on by the critics in attendance, is presented to one film from the entire program.
Special events this year include previously announced appearances by Florida native Kimberly Peirce and legendary actor Tom Skerritt, who will be honored with the prestigious Golden Key Awards on the 20
th Anniversary of BOYS DON'T CRY and the 40
th Anniversary of ALIEN, respectively.
The fourth annual Golden Key for Costume Design will also take place, this time with an award honoring Arianne Phillips, whose recent work was showcased in Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. Deborah Nadoolman Landis, a past president of the Costume Designers Guild and former Governor of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, will helm a video presentation of the award.
New to the program this year is the Kibbitz with Critics series, in which the curating critics share two of their favorite films from the last year over brunch. Collins will present Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar's AMERICAN FACTORY and Yamato will present Florida-raised Lulu Wang's THE FAREWELL.
Additional films in the main slate with ties to Florida include PAHOKEE, A WOMAN'S WORK: THE NFL'S CHEERLEADER PROBLEM, and THE INFILTRATORS. Special guests from each of these films will appear at the festival.
The festival will take place in Key West from November 20-24, and includes special event screenings and a curated selection of over 30 feature films and shorts programs encompassing narrative features, documentaries, foreign language cinema, LGBTQ cinema, VR, and works by Florida filmmakers. The shorts programs were curated from hundreds of submissions from Florida, the United States, and a dozen other Latin American, Caribbean, European, and Asian countries.
The complete line-up is as follows. Eugene Hernandez and Brian Brooks assisted in the curation of the LGBTQ programming and the Virtual Reality programming was curated by Matthew Bolish. Filmmaker Ruth Reitan, a graduate of the University of Miami MFA program and KWFF alumnus, directed the programming of the local and short films.
