For many people in our community, they’re nameless, faceless voices. Some of us are lucky enough to never have to talk to them. But when we need them, they're always there. These voices calmly extract information from people whose lives are suddenly turned upside down. These voices ensure that help arrives quickly. They are the unsung heroes behind all emergency responders: the dispatchers.
This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications Week. These dedicated professionals are on hand 24 hours a day to ensure that any emergency or crisis is dispatched quickly. This week is a chance for the community to thank these men and women who work tirelessly during emergencies.
Please take a moment to thank these important members of the community who deal with each crisis with dedicated professionalism.

Owner & Editor of Konk Life Guy DeBor WWW.KONK LIFE send regards and makes this announcement
Here is a BIG KONK Life Announcement
We have switched to a new delivery system for the Daily Blast that requires your registration to continue receiving the Blast.
For the past 30 days, all of us have experienced a virtual lock-down. It has affected every single one of us in the Florida Keys, our nation and the world. First, we at KONK Life wish everyone to be safe and healthy in these unprecedented times.
As a local newspaper, we have had to stop printing our weekly paper because of the lock-down. However, that has not kept us from delivering the news and information that you have come to rely on. For almost 4 years now our email Blast readers have learned that KONK Life delivers the top news and stories from Key West, Monroe County, Florida and the nation. We’re able to deliver additional out of county news through our affiliation with the Associated Press. We look forward to continuing to provide our readers with this valuable service for years to come.
Since the inception of the Blast, over 15,000 readers have subscribed. They read the Blast every day of the year. We developed the first local email blast and believe we have the largest subscription-base of all the local news organizations. But now we need more than readers. We need our readers to help support us in delivering the news and information you have come to depend on.
Beginning tomorrow, April 22, KONK Life is rolling out a new registration and subscription service. By simply registering you will have free access to 10 news stories every month. After you’ve reached your monthly limit, you will be invited to subscribe to KONK Life. initially, we are offering 2 levels of subscription. The first is an automatically recurring charge of $9 per month. Alternatively, you may purchase an annual subscription at a low introductory price of $59 per year. That’s less than $5 per month to have full access to our valuable local news and information and is more than 40% below the monthly rate.
Speaking for myself and our writers, photographers, graphic artists, office, and sales staff, we all hope you see the value KONK Life provides our community and will consider becoming a paid subscriber to our local newspaper. I thank you in advance for being a loyal reader of KONK Life. Guy deBour KONK Life Publisher

Eric Comments "What do you want to do in Key West?' I asked the new arrival who sat next to me at the Abbondanza bar in 2005-ish. 'I'd like to be involved with the arts', she said. 'Come on down to the Lemonade Stand Studio', I suggested. And now we're collecting her work. Well done my friend and Happy Birthday".
Penny Garcia Replies :I'm so Grateful I met you Literally the First Day ; Few Hours I hit Key West. Love you Eric; My Incredible Talented Friend and Guru

We now Continue with a New Series from the Gang at The Key West Film Festival : FLASHBACK FRIDAY
FLASHBACK FRIDAY
APRIL 24, 2020
Trey Edward Shults, Director of WAVES
A Note from KWFF Founder and Director, Brooke Christian: LINK to Play Above Featured Video of this Flashback Friday ( is at the end of Brook's Greeting)
I hope that you and your loved ones are staying healthy during these unprecedented times.
We at KWFF have enjoyed reelin' in the years the past several weeks and hope you have too! We’ve been fortunate to share memorable moments with some of the most entertaining personalities in the film business. And taking the chance to share some of them with you is an honor we’re proud to have.
This week I decided to throw my hat in the ring. In 2019, KWFF featured a movie I loved more than any we have ever screened. While a Festival Director picking a favorite film may be akin to picking a favorite child, I am calling it like I see it.
From where I sit, the Hollywood talent pool for acting and directing is as deep as it has ever been (its diversity is another story.) But, when it comes to writing, originality and excellence have fewer and fewer dances together.
In his third film, WAVES, Trey Edward Shults choreographs a beautiful reunion of the two. While telling the heart wrenching the story of a family’s struggle with its relationship dynamic, Schults delivers a par excellence script and performances to match. I would throw an actor’s name out there for you...but there are four performances that are so good they’re hard to separate.
I enjoyed WAVES in much the same way I enjoyed Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. Both films rotate the perspectives of a singular relationship within them. In so doing, they ensure that you see the plight of each character and the lens through which they see their fates.
At a time when empathy is more critical than ever, WAVES will help you leave your judgment at the door. Or will it? We will give you an opportunity to discover your own truths.
Lastly, I can’t sign off without admitting that I am a little bit of a homer. The film is shot entirely in the state of Florida and Trey Edward currently makes his home in Orlando (my hometown.)
Enjoy the film and Trey Edward’s charisma and brilliance in our 2019 Q & A with him, Jen Yamato from The LA Times, and Kameron Austin Collins from Vanity Fair.
Have a great weekend, stay safe and sane, and we look forward to hopefully seeing you in November! A. Brooke Christian , Founder and Director
Key West Film Festival

We Now Continue with the last batch of photos from the Photographic Exhibition "LA IN THE 1930s"Up Next but First an Important Announcement from
WWW.HOMETOWNKEYWEST.COM
The 2020 election resource
for candidates, voters and media.
KEY WEST AND MONROE COUNTY
HOMETOWN! AGAIN UNVEILS ONE-STOP CANDIDATE
RESOURCE FOR 2020 ELECTIONS
Dear Incumbents and Candidates in the 2020 Elections,
Hometown has canceled its “Call for Candidates’ forum scheduled for April 13, at Salute. It has become a tradition to open the campaign/election cycle with this event so that incumbents, candidates and those simply “testing the waters” can speak to the voters as to proposed ideas and concepts for our vibrant community.
This year Hometown again unveils its candidate and election information resource for Monroe County voters, incumbents, candidates, the media and all those interested in good government. Remember: Hometown members are SuperVoters—they vote in every election-primary & general, making it more important than ever to take advantage of this platform.
Hometown's Design Team has developed individual candidate spaces that will offer the Hometown website visitor (voters and media) more information about you!
Hometown offers a chance for you to get your message out—we will post your photo, contact information (telephone, email address, Facebook, Twitter & Instagram info), and a short written statement (no more than 150 words) on Hometown’s website (
Hometownkeywest.com
). Hometown is also prepared to add, in light of the possible future lack of campaign rallies, Forums, Q&A Events and other voter contacts, the
posting of a three-minute video setting forth each candidate’s vision
of why he/she should be elected and what his/her views are on the most important issues facing his/her electorate.
1. Head Shot: High Resolution (if not already sent)
2. Email address and Telephone/Twitter –Instagram Info
3. Address (for campaign contribution checks :-)
4. Narrative 100 - 150 word count-to be strictly enforced--
5. Facebook & Website link
6. Video of Candidate Speaking-no longer than 3 minutes
Please send your video to
Ms. Funkhouser
and she will upload that to Hometown’s YouTube Channel and use that same video on the
HometownKeyWest.com
website. If you already have your own YouTube Channel and would prefer we use one of your existing YouTube videos (not exceeding three minutes), please send the URL of the page that has the video you would like.
Please keep in mind: Hometown cannot process your information if received in bits and pieces.
“It is important for voters to have access to candidate information before the Mail by Vote ballots land in voters’ mailboxes,” said Hometown Board Chairman Todd German. “Our mission is simple - Informed Voters Promote Good Government.”
It is uncertain when future events will be held prior to the primary. The primary deals in large part with contested partisan county, state and federal races to be ultimately decided in the November election. It is, however, a misnomer as to other non-partisan races such as Key West mayor and city commissioners, school board, etc—for these offices, it is the general election.
If candidates are limited in holding a pre-primary rally, and Hometown does not conduct events and forums that enable candidates to meet with and discuss issues with voters, then you, the other candidates, the voters, and the community are without the means to understand and opine on significant matters that may well alter our future.
DEADLINE
—in order to be posted, Hometown must receive everything as soon as possible and in any event, no later than April 30. If you do not want to post everything requested or anything at all, that is your choice. Just please let us know. Thanks.
Why would you not take advantage of this?
Send in your info as listed (#1 to #6) above.
What are you waiting for?

Reef Relief's Virtual Marine Science Lessons
When schools closed all over the United States and the world, Reef Relief knew we had to do something to allow for students to continue their science education and to help parents keep their children busy! Since then, we have created virtual marine science lessons that are presented every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on our "Facebook Live" platform (
www.facebook.com/reefrelief
) . Each lesson comes with supplemental worksheets, activities, and videos that you can find here:
www.reefrelief.org/blog
. These lessons are 100% free of charge and start at 10:30am EST. If you can not attend a "live" session, you can watch all recorded episodes on our Youtube channel the next day at:
www.youtube.com/reefrelief
.
Please share with parents, teachers and schools! Lessons are designed for students in pre K to 8th grade but, anyone is welcome to participate.
--------------------------------------------------
Donate $10 to Help Support our Virtual Classroom Programs and Receive a Buff!

to help our community and followers cover and protect their face while partaking in essential activities such as grocery shopping, picking up medication, and exercising.

Coral Camp for Kids (Ages 6-12) registration information and the Coral Camp for Big Kids (Students entering 6th-9th grade) application packet will both be available on our website on
May 1st.
COVID-19 is creating large uncertainty as to when the Florida Keys will open up and return to normal. As of today, camp is scheduled to operate as normal but, this issue is being closely looked at and could very likely change.
In order to have an organized registration process, all campers registering for camp for the month of June (Session 1: June 1-5 , Session 2: June 8-12, Session 3: June 15-19, Session 4: June 22-26) will not be required to pay until the first day of camp. In the event we do have to cancel the first few weeks of camp, this will allow for an easy cancellation process. Big Kids Camp is scheduled for August 3-7. Please contact us for more information on Coral Camp for Big Kids (flyer attached below) or

Before you read though
;
My Question a few weeks ago to the Readers
If you get "19" ( I don't have it; & certainly there is NO SHAME IN GETTING SICK), what if you get it and you decide not to go out and seek help..WHAT IS THE BEST WAY OF Combating this at home and getting through the disease alive with Minimal Suffering.? A Good Friend that Saved my Life with his Staff at The Boca Raton Community Hospital (Lynn Cancer Division) ; when I had Throat Cancer 14 Years ago : Answers around March 31,2020 :
If someone has symptoms of fevers, muscle aches, and dry cough, they are presumed positive for COVID-19 and most people up to this point presenting to hospitals with these symptoms have not even been tested ( although many were tested for FLU to rule that out.) They are sent home and told to self isolate, rest, get plenty of fluids and take Tylenol for the fever and discomfort. Ibuprofin and Aleve have been discouraged due to possible lung exacerbation. There are no other over the counter or health food store remedies that treat the virus. There are some experimental drugs out there being tried. Of Course Please Wash Your Hands Often & Good Luck to All.
Thanks Doc ,Ed.

CITY MESSAGE 4/6 ( Although this is a few Old; Vital Info.)
In the interest of public safety, economic stability and long-term recovery, The City of Key West on Sunday issued State of Local Emergency 2020-05, which implements additional protective measures for essential businesses and separation requirements for individuals diagnosed or reasonably believed to be infected with COVID-19:
Beginning midnight, April 7, 2020, all essential businesses shall:
>Limit capacity on monitor entrances and exits to reduce their maximum occupancy load by 50 percent. Businesses that have multiple entrances and exits shall establish a protocol of entrance and exit points only.
> Provide alcohol-based hand sanitizers for use by customers and employees, subject to the availability of supplies.
> Provide disinfecting wipes at points of entrance, cash registers, and other appropriate locations. As an alternative, essential businesses shall designate staff responsible for disinfecting cars, shopping baskets, point of sales terminals and other areas as frequently as possible.
> Implement procedures to ensure that both employees and customers remain at least six feet apart at all times. This can be accomplished with marking floors and other visible systems.
> Close all salad bars and other self-serve food station.
> Refrain from distributing free samples of conducting tasting.
Also included in the directive are requirements for the covering of the nose and mouth:
> All employees and customers of any essential business where ten or more people congregate shall be required to wear a form of covering over their nose and mouth at all times while inside the business. Examples of such businesses include grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, food distribution points and hardware stores. These coverings may include face masks a homemade mask or other cloth covering such as a scarf or bandana. In addition, employers are strongly urged to implement policies for employees to use other protective equipment like gloves.
> The requirements of the directive shall not apply to any outdoor activity, except for persons providing delivery services.
In addition, the directive orders any person who has been diagnosed, or is reasonably believed to have been infected with COVID-19 shall separate themselves from all individuals who are not infected to present the possible spread of the disease.
“Ideally, we are already doing the right thing with social distancing,” said City Manager Greg Veliz. “This is one more step to ensure that we slow or stop the spread of this disease so we can quickly get on the road to recovery.”

County Mayor Heather Carruthers Answers Questions About When & How The County Might Begin Opening Up The Keys and More (April 17)
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I received this Post on Facebook from a few people :
As the local economy sits idle due to the corona virus pandemic, a local couple has stepped up to prove, once again, that Key West is One Human Family. Scott and Sonja Miller, in an attempt to reach some of the people that could be hardest hit, have paid the May rent for each of the 52 residents in the City’s mooring field.
The Millers reached out to Mayor Teri Johnston at the end of March, seeking a way to help the people living in the mooring field by paying back rents. At that time, rents were up to date. So the Millers decided to pay it forward, and paid everyone’s May rent. We can encourage others by our actions,” Scott Miller said Friday, “then it’s the best thing we can do.”
This generosity is another great action by members of the community during this crisis. Across the island, and throughout the Keys, people have mobilized in a myriad of ways. Restaurants are serving free hot meals, non-profits are distributing groceries, churches are delivering meals to people in their homes.
