"The Civil War in Key West"
to be next KWAHS Happy Hour with the Historian event
Raise a toast to Key West history with Key West Art & Historical Society Curator Cori Convertito, Ph.D., on Wednesday, October 9 from 4:30pm to 5:30pm during her popular "Happy Hour with the Historian" program at the BottleCap Lounge, 1128 Simonton Street, Key West. Enjoy a complimentary beer, wine or well drink while Convertito presents on the evening's topic, "The Civil War in Key West" which will explore the island's historical significance in the context of the American Civil War.
Though fought in thousands of different places, from Pennsylvania to Texas, from New Mexico to Florida, no blood was shed on or around the island. Still, Key West proved to be essential to the Union and the history that followed the war. How, you might wonder, could a city from a Confederate southern state serve the Union forces? Join the historian and learn the fascinating facts.
Happy Hour with the Historian is limited to 60 attendees; reserve your spot now at
kwahs.org/events-
$8 for KWAHS members, $10 for non-members. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Division of Cultural Affairs. For more information, contact Cori Convertito, Ph.D. at 305-295-6616 x112 or [email protected].

There's no topping the Hollywood legend. The onscreen chameleon has been the sweet brunette, the foxy redhead, and the blonde bombshell. Her sexy, throaty singing voice had the public referring to her as the 'female Elvis' and her love for motorcycles earned her a daredevil reputation.
Ann-Margret is an actress, singer, and dancer. Oddly enough, George Burns helped launch her singing career, and from there she went on to conquer acting. Soon she had a seven-year film contract from 20th Century Fox and was starring alongside Elvis, Jack Nicholson, and John Wayne. She earned an Oscar nomination for Carnal Knowledge and was even invited to serenade President John F. Kennedy at his 46th birthday party (a year after Marilyn Monroe did).

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.

Bahama Village Music Program kicks of 20th season with 7th Annual
Sugarloaf Oktoberfest celebration
7th. Annual Sugarloaf Oktoberfest celebration is set for Sunday, October 6
at the Sugarloaf Lodge Tiki Bar from 3pm-7pm, promising a tasty, musical afternoon for all who attend. The annual fundraiser benefits the Bahama Village Music Program, an organization that helps bring free musical education to over 200 students aged 6-16 that would otherwise miss out on the lifelong gift of music.
"It's a good time for a good cause!" says Executive Director Katchen Duncan, who has been with the program since 2002.
Guests can anticipate a delicious pork dinner by South of the Seven, the new restaurant at the Sugarloaf Lodge, a silent auction and live music by musicians Larry Baeder, Ben Harrison, Bill Blue, and many of the program's talented students.

Now celebrating their 20
th
season, Bahama Village Music Program has served the community through music, with two choirs, 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, and a summer music camp. Led by Duncan and Program Director Kate Divoll, these classes and individual lessons are taught by more than a dozen student teachers, professional instructors, and dedicated volunteers, helping to create a sense of community spirit and pride while fostering important mentor relationships between local teenage musicians and their students, encouraging parent participation, and enhancing student self-esteem. The program is fully supported by local donors, foundations, and fundraisers.
Tickets are $15 advance purchase at Sugarloaf Lodge, BVMP at 103 Olivia Street, or online at
bvmpkw.org

We now Continue with Part 1 of 3 Rare Photos of Marilyn Monroe
"In the Early Days : some of Monroe's bad press may have been down to anxiety rather than lack of talent. "I liked Marilyn, but she was God-awful to work with," her one time co-star Richard Widmark told The Daily Telegraph in 2002. "Impossible, really. She would hide in her dressing room and refuse to come out."
"Joe DiMaggio's short-lived marriage (Marilyn's 2nd.) was apparently both passionate and tumultuous. Reportedly, the baseball star had certain hang-ups about his wife's public persona - so much so that the relationship began to turn sour. In fact, legend has it that DiMaggio wanted Monroe to be a housewife rather than an actress. But Monroe was a sex symbol, and being flirtatious was part of her"
"One of her First Co-Stars Richard Widmark Continues to Say :
And Monroe's deeper personal issues couldn't be hidden from her co-stars, either. "When she finally would show up, she was a nervous wreck," Widmark continued. "It was all a result of fear. She was insecure about so many things and was obviously self-destructive. She was a wounded bird from the beginning."

"INSECTS & ANGELS" by FLOWER CONROY
Reception Oct. 3 6-8PM Exhibition Oct.3-28 Zabar Project Gallery First Floor
Island poet Flower Conroy delves deep into themes of love, loss, spirituality, religion, mortality and extinction. Lately, she's turned her eye toward the visual, and taken inspiration from Cesar A. Cruz's idea that "art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." In her newest endeavor,
Insects & Angels
, Conroy creates art assemblages using plastic toothpicks, broken jewelry, rubber toys, bones and Christmas lights-and of course, language, to convey weighty ideas with humor and camp.
The Next Issue will have Photos from the Very First "Residents on the Porch" from the TSKW New Addition to their Eaton St. Complex (Taking over the Hotel that has a really nice Backyard). Here are the Two Recent Residents.
CYNTHIA BACK
Cynthia Back has exhibited widely both in the U.S. and internationally.

Photo and Story by Alyson Crean
City Manager Greg Veliz and the Key West City Commission took the opportunity of a recent commission meeting to honor retiring City Manager Jim Scholl.
Veliz recalled that, when Scholl was hired in 2007 after retiring from the Navy, staff wondered what he would bring to the table.
"Jim Scholl very quickly showed us that things were going to be done correctly," said Veliz. "While he allowed us to do our jobs, he expected there to be no question when it came to honesty, fairness, and transparency."
Scholl came to the City shortly after his retirement as a Captain in the Navy. His last post had him serving as the Commander of the Naval Air Station Key West.
When his contract expired in 2012, Scholl again retired, this time from the City. However, after two years, Mayor
Emeritus
Craig Cates asked him to return to the City to help rectify some issues that arose during that interim.
Scholl's temporary contract was extended, and he's served another five years.
"I could sit here and talk all day and not fully explain what Jim Scholl has meant to the City of Key West and to me personally," said Veliz.
Thanking him for his kind words, Scholl said, "This isn't a one-man job, and it never has been. It's all about the team we've put together.
"This team," Scholl continued, "does a lot every day. Every department in this City deserves recognition and respect for all of the accomplishments of the last 12 years."
Veliz said Scholl is "the epitome of what it means to be a public servant." With the commissioners and on behalf of the entire City staff, Veliz presented his with a plaque honoring his service.
The plaque reads: "In recognition of your retirement and in appreciation of ten years of dedicated and diligent service to the city and citizens of Key West, for your unwavering support of your peers and for your constant mentoring of City staff."
Scholl's final day with the City is September 30

KW FIRE DEPT & THE CITY OF KEY WEST Proclaims Oct. 6 -12 as Fire Prevention Week
Photo & Article Provided by Alyson Crean
In the photo: Commissioners Gregory Davila, Jimmy Weekley and Mary Lou Hoover, Fire Marshal Danny Blanco, Capt. Alan Averette, Fir Chief Michael Davila, and City Commissioners Sam Kaufman, Billy Wardlow, and Clayton Lopez.
Today's home fires burn faster than ever. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Knowing how to use that time wisely takes planning and practice.
The Key West Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) -- the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years -- to promote this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign, "Not Every Hero Wears a Cape, Plan and Practice Your Escape!" which works to educate the public about basic but essential ways to quickly and safely escape a home fire.
At this week's City Commission meeting, Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission proclaimed October 6
th through the 12
th as Fire Prevention Week.
The Key West Fire Department considers all of the month of October as Fire Prevention Month, and is hosting a series of events in support of this year's Fire Prevention Week campaign, including annual visits of fire personnel and apparatus to schools for life safety education, as well as visits to the fire stations by day care facilities. The Key West Fire Department will also be offering free smoke alarms for homes that do not currently have alarms.
NFPA statistics show that the number of U.S. home fires has been steadily declining over the past few decades. However, the fire death rate per 1000 home fires reported to U.S. fire departments being 4 percent higher in 2017 than in 1980.
Fire Marshal Danny Blanco notes that, although people feel safest in their home, it is also the place people are at greatest risk to fire, with four out of five U.S. fire deaths occurring at home. That over-confidence contributes to a complacency toward home escape planning and practice.
"Working in the fire service for many years, we know that people often make choices in fire situations that jeopardize their safety or even cost them their lives," said Blanco. "We need to do a better job of teaching people about the potentially life-saving difference escape planning and practice can make and motivating them to action."
While NFPA and the Key West Fire Department are focusing on home fires, these fire safety messages apply to virtually anywhere.
"Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go," said Blanco. "No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm system sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately."

Here is One More Time Sensitive Article from Alyson and the City of Key West
"Old Town Parking"
Beginning October 1
st, Key West residents can purchase their new annual residential parking permit for Old Town. The new multi-colored stickers will help ensure marked residential parking spaces are reserved for residents.
The permits cost $20 a year. They are available at the Monroe County Tax Assessor's office at the Harvey Government Center. Applicants will need to show proof of residency in Key West as well as a driver's license and vehicle registration in order to obtain the residential parking permit.
In addition to ensuring that residents can park in the marked residential spaces, the permit parking for up to four hours, one time per day, without paying in any one of the five parking lots:
Fire Station #2 in the 600 block of Simonton,
Key West Bight main lot in the 800 block of Caroline,
Park N Ride garage in the 300 block of Grinnell,
Truman Waterfront Park (except during events),
Smather's Beach on-street parking on South Roosevelt Blvd
In order to use the permit in these areas, you must enter the permit number into the pay to park machine and display the receipt on your dash.
Old Town has over 1000 parking spaces marked as residential. Eligible vehicles will have exclusive rights to these spaces. The permits are available to residents, real estate property owners, military personnel stationed in Key West, seasonal residents who reside within the city for over four months of the year, and business vehicles affiliated with a business licensed in the city.
The parking permit does not in any way affect the 750 unmarked spaces or the 60 handicapped parking spaces in Old Town. Downtown workers who are not eligible for the permits are encouraged to explore the special monthly permit at the Park N Ride on Grinnell Street.

The College of the Florida Keys invites the community to "Poetics" event with Georgia's poet laureate Chelsea Rathburn
The College of the Florida Keys will welcome poet Chelsea Rathburn (pictured) to campus for a free poetry reading event on October 9 at 6 p.m. in the Tennessee Williams Theatre.
The College of the Florida Keys (CFK) invites the community to the second poetry reading event in its new visiting poets series, CFK Poetics. The College will host Chelsea Rathburn, the poet laureate of Georgia, on October 9 at 6 p.m. in the Tennessee Williams Theatre on the Key West Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Rathburn is the author of three books of poetry, including the New York Times New & Noteworthy collection Still Life with Mother and Knife, published in 2019 by Louisiana State University Press. Her poems and essays have appeared in Poetry, Ploughshares, the Atlantic, Creative Nonfiction, and many other journals. A fifth-generation native of Miami, she currently lives in Macon, Georgia, with her husband, the poet James Davis May, and their daughter. She is an assistant professor of English and creative writing at Mercer University.
CFK
Poetics is made possible through the support of the Florida Humanities Council. The goal of this series is to connect the Florida Keys community and CFK students with poets whose work illustrates the critical intersections and changing landscapes and examines the social, psychological, and environmental changes that working-class residents in a tourist destination can identify with and by which they can be inspired.
Funding for this program was provided through a grant from the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the Florida Humanities Council or the National Endowment for the Humanities.

New 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 will 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.

Key West Art & Historical Society Invites Public to Experience Free Key West Historic Marker Tours
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 Call for Collections of Curios, Artworks, Baubles and Tchotchkes
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]. The last "Key West Collects" exhibit, held in 2017, included objects such as exotic opium pipes, vintage dolls, World War I sheet music, scrimshaw from the 19th century, pre-Columbian artifacts, embroidered linens and other cherished objects collected by our local community.
"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.
