Gumby, the classic claymation franchise about an oddly shaped green humanoid character and his sidekick is Pokey, a talking orange pony that everyone fell in love with-naturally. Crafted by Art Clokey, the character has gone on to have two television series and a feature-length film so far. Gumby has become a cultural icon, having spawned various tributes, parodies, and tons of merchandise. It is no surprise that a revival of the show was announced in 2015. The new Gumby series is still in the works and will be co-produced by the Jim Henson Company. PINTEREST

We start our Dec 17th Issue ; a Day Late ; Working Around the Clock for this Tuesday Afternoon Publish Date ; Enjoy Ed.  Our First Feature is Part 17 of Groovy History's " A Look back at the 60's & 70's Through Photographs 

Goldie Hawn began her acting career in the short-lived CBS situation comedy Good Morning, World. She played a stereotypical "dumb blonde" character who was dating a radio disc jockey.
It was her next role, as a regular cast members on the sketch comedy show, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, which broadened her reach and garnered her some international attention. The show ran from 1968-1973 but she had already established herself as something of an "It Girl" in the 1960s so at the show's conclusion she had no problems landing roles. Her first major film role was in Cactus Flower (1969), for which she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. From there the bombshell kept churning out roles and earning awards and Goldie's still rocking it today.  REDDIT
Next up would have to be his voice role as Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King. But aside from his iconic voice, Jones is an amazing onscreen actor. Literally, one of the best actors in American history with a pile of awards to prove it. He has a career spanning more than 60 years now and has been accurately described by his peers and fans alike as, "one of America's most distinguished and versatile actors" in the industry. Believe it or not, Jones had a stutter he forced himself to overcome in his childhood by reading poetry, acting, and public speaking. Now after winning the the Voice Arts Icon Award back in November 9, 2015, it's safe to say Jones has conquered that stutter. REDDIT
Babe Ruth hit 659 of his 714 career home runs during his 15 seasons with the Yankees, his last season with them was in 1934. About a year later he retired from the game entirely, after a stint with the Boston Braves. Then on June 13, 1948, Babe Ruth's No 3 was retired by the Yankees. This was the legendary baseball player's final appearance at Yankee Stadium- which is commonly referred to as "The House That Ruth Built." Two months later, on August 16, 1948, the Ruth died from cancer  REDDIT
American singer, songwriter and record producer Marvin Gaye is credited with helping to shape the sound of Motown back in the 1960s. During the 1970s, he along with Stevie Wonder became the first artists to break away from traditional production companies. Gaye recorded the concept albums What's Going On and Let's Get It On. It was Gaye's later recordings that ended up influencing several contemporary R&B subgenres: quiet storm and neo-soul. On April 1, 1984, tragedy struck when Gaye's father, Marvin Gay Sr., fatally shot him at their house in Los Angeles. Apparently, the two had been arguing and it escalated into a physical fight that ended with Gaye's father shooting him three times. Then he went outside and awaited his arrest on the front porch. Gaye Sr. was given a divorce by his wife of 49-years in addition to a six-year suspended sentence and five years' probation for the shooting. REDDIT
Phoebe Cates starred in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" in 1982, and she was later quoted as saying that she had the most fun in filming that movie. The following year, she co-starred alongside Matthew Modine and Betsy Russell in "Private School". She also sang on two songs its soundtrack, "Just One Touch" and "How Do I Let You Know".
Other big roles Cates landed was the first two Gremlins movies and 90's favorite, "Drop Dead Fred". She was a teen icon, her face was on the cover of just about every popular magazine: Seventeen, Tiger Beat, and Teen Beat to name a few.  REDDIT

'Porgy and Bess' is a key example of the greatness American Opera has achieved in emerging from the shadow of its European roots. A star studded all-black cast joins the SFSO, presenting a bold mix of modernist classics, ragtime, blues, jazz and spirituals, included, are the great Gershwin standards that reach notably eloquent, heartfelt, and genre-crossing heights.

L to R: FKCC President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, Samuel's House Executive Director Kim Stover,
FKCC Vice President of Advancement Dr. Frank Wood, and Samuel's House Deputy Director Tara Salinas.
 

Faculty, staff, and friends of Florida Keys Community College brought dozens of toys for local children to the College's annual Caribbean Holiday Party on Tuesday hosted by FKCC President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra and his wife Josephine. The toys were donated to Samuel's House, a Keys-based non-profit organization that offers housing and supportive services for homeless women and intact families.
 
"The faculty, staff, and friends of the College are more than just employees who do their jobs and collect a paycheck.  Their generosity at times like these demonstrates their commitment to help the less fortunate in our community," praised Gueverra.

With those dimpled cheeks framed in curls, little Shirley Temple sang, danced, and acted her way into the hearts of America during the Depression. By six years old she had already won an Academy Award. She even starred in a movie with future president Ronald Reagan before leaving show business to embarking on a political career of her own. She ran for Congress, served as United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia, and played a critical role in hastening the end of communism in Czechoslovakia. REDDIT
Sir Sean Thomas Connery is one of the most decorated and celebrated actors of all time. The Scottish native has won Academy Awards, BAFTA Awards and Golden Globe awards. Sean Connery is most known for being the first ever actor to play the character James Bond on the big screen. He starred in the first seven James Bond films, from the very first movie, Dr. No, to Diamonds Are Forever. Dr. No was filmed in Jamaica and England; it was adapted from a book of the same name by Ian Fleming. Although Connery's last appearance as James Bond wasn't as smooth as the others. Reports say that he demanded over $1.5 million to resume the role. It took a deal with United Artists to finally make it happen. They promised to back any two films he wanted if he'd just play James Bond again. So he did. REDDIT
Actress Heather Locklear was on the television series C.H.I.P.S, T.J. Hooker, and the movie Firestarter. But she got her big break when she landed a role in Dynasty in 1981. After that she appeared in various film roles throughout the 80s and by 1993 she landed another recurring role on the hit show Melrose Place. She became a part of the cast of Spin City and in 2009, she appeared on a new version of Melrose Place. PINTEREST
It was on March 24, 1958, when the King, Elvis Aron Presley entered the United States Army. He then went through basic and advanced training and ended up serving as a member of two different armor battalions during his active military career. Presley was sent overseas to serve as a member of the 1st Medium Tank Battalion, 32d Armor in Germany from October 1, 1958, until March 2, 1960. On March 5, 1960, he left active duty and returned to the states. It wasn't until March 23, 1964 that he received his discharge papers from the Army Reserve and went back to his music career. REDDIT
Pictured here is the beautiful Julie Newmar as Catwoman in the Batman television series. Sporting a tight one piece and armed with a bullwhip, the provocative thief had quite the love-hate relationship with Gotham's hero. It was Newmar who was responsible for modifying the Catwoman costume. She wore the belt at the hips instead of the waist, to accentuate her hourglass figure. Now her Catwoman costume sits on display in the Smithsonian Institution.
Julie Newmar went on to establish an immensely successful career since her Batman days. She is still going strong as an actress and has become a supporter of LGBT rights. She was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing organization in 2013. PINTEREST

Turtle Hospital staff is all smiles as they returned Jovanavich, a 150 pound sub-adult loggerhead sea turtle to her ocean home on Tuesday evening off of Sombrero Beach in Marathon.  Jovanavich was rescued by the US Coast Guard Marathon Station, offshore of Marathon in December of last year where she was found entangled in trap line.  Veterinarians and Turtle Hospital staff worked hard to try to save Jovanavich's injured front flipper using everything from class 4 laser therapy to ancient live leech therapy.  Unfortunately, Jovanavich's flipper was too far gone and had to be amputated.  Jovanavich recovered from the amputation surgery and was in good health and swimming strong.  3 flippered turtles are releasable and survive in the wild.  A special shout out to US Coast Guard Marathon Station, for their compassion and commitment to helping sea turtles survive!   It takes a village!

Local Artist works on Sculpture for the Tom Majors Wood Art Invitational
The Key West Tropical Forest is partnering with The Studios of Key West which is hosting the "Tom Majors Wood Art Invitational". This is a month-long, island-wide celebration that will be held in March, 2019.  It will showcase the creative potential of wood, and by extension, a statement of faith that the intersection of humankind and nature needn't be disastrous, but can result in objects and experiences filled with beauty and meaning. The Studios of Key West, in addition to serving as the hub for the invitational, will host "With the Grain", an exhibition of contemporary wood artists from across the country.
As a part of the Wood Art Invitational, local artist, Perry Arnold is working in the Tropical Forest and Botanical Garden to create an art piece out of our "Champion" Black Olive that was felled during Hurricane Irma last September. The work is a 3-month project and will be a beautiful showpiece when completed. Please come out to the garden and watch Perry as he works on his sculpture.  The work site is located along the Garden's Boardwalk.
       The Key West Botanical Garden Society is still waiting on our FEMA reimbursement from the State of Florida for our cash outlay in restoring the Garden after Hurricane Irma. Because of this, our operating funds are very low and any contribution you could make at this time would greatly help the garden until our FEMA money comes through.

Key West Art & Historical Society Distinguished Speaker Series guest Fred L. Borch to share insights on "The Lincoln Assassination and the Florida Keys"
 
DUE TO SPACE CONSTRAINTS I had to Edit this Feature; this sounds so Interesting
On Thursday, December 20, Key West Art & Historical Society welcomes Distinguished Speaker Series guest Fred L. Borch to the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street. His 6:00pm presentation, "The Lincoln Assassination and the Florida Keys," provides insights into the murder of the 16th President of the United States and the imprisonment of four of the accused at Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas. 
 
On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theater. After Lincoln died the next day, the government rounded up seven men and one woman and charged them with conspiring to murder the president. In July 1865, the eight defendants were prosecuted by a military commission. All were found guilty. Four were hanged and four received terms of imprisonment-which they served at Fort Jefferson. 

A retired Army officer and lawyer, Borch is currently Regimental Historian and Archivist for the Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, the only full-time military legal historian in the U.S. Government. He was a consulting historian for the 2010 dramatic film "The Conspirator," directed by Robert Redford, and appears in the 2011 documentary film, "The Conspirator: Mary Surratt and the Plot to Kill Lincoln," directed by Tom Jennings. 
 
Distinguished Speaker Series presentation tickets are $5 for KWAHS members, $10 for non-members, and are available at kwahs.org, click 'tickets." Early ticket purchase is recommended.  Sponsored by the Helmerich Trust, Southernmost Beach Resort, and the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs. For more information, contact Danielle Holliday at 305-295-6616 ext114. Your Museums.  Your Community.  It takes an Island.

UNITED WAY OF THE FLORIDA KEYS
SEEKS VOLUNTEERS FOR TAX PREPARATION PROGRAM

Florida Keys -
 United Way of the Florida Keys is seeking volunteers to assist with a free tax preparation program for households with limited incomes in Monroe County. Volunteers are needed to work as IRS-certified tax prep assistants or greeters. Bilingual volunteers are especially needed as tax prep assistants, greeters or translators.  
After attending a free, one day, hands-on training in early January, volunteers assist at tax preparation events scheduled regularly throughout the Keys, January - April. Volunteers' scheduling and location are flexible. (Translators are welcome but not required to participate in the one-day training.) 
 
Through this program, volunteers help fellow Keys residents maximize their tax return so they are better able to provide for their families, thereby making our community more affordable. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn, grow and serve.

The VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program is designed to assist qualified taxpayers with completion of their annual tax returns and to ensure that limited income families receive every available benefit. UWFK is pleased to offer the VITA program through grants from Volunteer Florida and Wells Fargo.  
For more information about becoming a VITA volunteer, please contact VITA@KeysUnitedWay.org or 305-735-1929. 
 
About United Way of the Florida Keys: United Way of the Florida Keys is an independent, local 501(c)(3) organization that has been supporting the Keys community for more than 30 years. UWFK supports strong working families and funds nonprofits that provide critical services to Keys residents. Money raised in the Keys stays in the Keys. United Way also plays a unique role in convening businesses, nonprofits and government to work together to address community needs. For more information, visit our website: www.keysunitedway.org or call (305) 735-1929. Give. Advocate. Volunteer. LIVE UNITED.

Headshots by Susann D'Antonio Hanging ALL of December

New work by Susann D'Antonio is being presented at Frangipani Gallery.  This show is strictly for the birds as it is a collection of encaustic mixed media paintings portraying all types of common and exotic birds.  The paintings spotlight the bird's head only, suggesting an actor's photo portfolio.  Local favorite, the rooster, is center stage with other locals in the wings, the ibis, heron, pelican.  Other members of the cast have walk on parts, the peacock, parrots, the magnificent frigate.  Stage left are a supporting cast of fat little chick sculptures as the stand ins for the  main cast.  Join us for this fun birds-eye view and perhaps one of the birds will fly the coop with you. The curtain call for the show will be the end of December. To see additional paintings of Suzann's in addition to visiting the Frangipani gallery and both her and the Gallery's Websites Click the Dec 3rd Issue Link : https://conta.cc/2RMyvtn

L to R: FKCC President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, Samuel's House Executive Director Kim Stover, FKCC Vice President of Advancement Dr. Frank Wood, and Samuel's House Deputy Director Tara Salinas.
 Faculty, staff, and friends of Florida Keys Community College brought dozens of toys for local children to the College's annual Caribbean Holiday Party on Tuesday hosted by FKCC President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra and his wife Josephine. The toys were donated to Samuel's House, a Keys-based non-profit organization that offers housing and supportive services for homeless women and intact families.  
"The faculty, staff, and friends of the College are more than just employees who do their jobs and collect a paycheck.  Their generosity at times like these demonstrates their commitment to help the less fortunate in our community," praised Gueverra.
 
The Veterans of Foreign Wars Key West Post 3911 presents $2,000 to FKCC for the VFW Ed Moran Memorial Scholarship.  L to R: VFW Senior Vice Commander Mark Tobin, FKCC President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, FKCC students/ Moran Scholarship recipients Isabel Fernandez Cardenas and Garret Lanier, VFW Commander Abe Conn, and VFW Quartermaster Ken Thompson.

The Southernmost Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) donated $2,000 to the Florida Keys Community College Foundation to support the "VFW Post 3911 Ed Moran Memorial Scholarship." Established in 2015, this scholarship pays tribute to the late VFW Post Commander.  The $1,000 award provides financial assistance to veterans, service members, and their dependents so that they may complete their educational goals without incurring excessive student loan debt.  This year's awardees are Isabel Fernandez Cardenas and Garrett Lanier. 
Moran, who passed in 2012, was a Marine Corp veteran and served two tours in Vietnam.  After a career as a helicopter mechanic and chief engineer in oil fields in Texas and Louisiana, Moran moved to Key West to enjoy fishing and writing.  Through the VFW, he and his wife Lucy devoted countless hours to helping veterans and their families in this community.
For more information about supporting FKCC scholarships and programs, contact Dr. Frank Wood, FKCC Vice-President of Advancement and FKCC Foundation Executive Director at 305-809-3287 or frank.wood@fkcc.edu.

Key West Art & Historical Society presents "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell" exhibit at Custom House Museum

 
Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the legacy of one of the island's most clever visual artists with "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell" in the Bumpus Gallery of the Custom House Museum located at 281 Front Street.  The exhibit runs through February 10, 2019.  The exhibit spotlights the quirky late artist's trademark visual wit and whimsy, featuring work from private Key West collectors, personal photographs, and newspaper clippings about the unique personality widely known for his off-the-wall and humorous creations.  
 
A self-taught artist, Thomas Ferron Bell began his career at the age of 16 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Fire Island Pines, New York when he was 21, later splitting his time and talents between there and Key West, Florida. Bell worked full time as an artist, cultivating his audience and frequently bartering and donating his work to fundraisers in the Key West community.

Key West Mayor Teri Johnston and City Commissioners Jimmy Weekley and Sam Kaufman proclaimed Dec. 21st National Homeless Persons Memorial Day during the December City Commission meeting.
For the past 19 years, the community has gathered to remember those men, women and children who have died homeless in Monroe County with this proclamation setting aside this longest night of the year in their honor.  At 3 p.m. on December 21, st, the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition and Monroe County social services will coordinate a prayer service at the Key West Cemetery and inter the remains of those who died homeless in Monroe County over the past year. Stephanie Kaple, Executive Director of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, accepted the proclamation. "Sadly, for some, the help we try to offer does not come soon enough," said Kaple, "and they die without a home. We're proud to partner with county social services to give them a final resting place."

She urged the commissioners and the community attend the memorial and to take a stand against homelessness until there is no longer a reason to hold this annual memorial. December 21
st is the longest night of the year," she said. Many of us go to bed with worries on our minds, but we fall asleep pretty quickly because we have beds to sleep in. Those who live on the street, that's not a luxury they enjoy, and they live with those worries all night long." 
This memorial falls on the heels of November's national Homeless and Hunger Awareness Week. In accepting that proclamation, Kaple reminded the community that, while we are roasting turkeys and baking pies, there are too many members of our community who go hungry.
PLUS THIS WEEK FROM THE CITY OF KEY WEST

The Trophia Foundation is continuing its effort to help re-green Key West in the wake of last year's hurricane. The foundation recently donated 26 trees to the City of Key West as part of their promise to replenish the city's canopy following Hurricane Irma. This recent donation includes four royal poinciana trees, four wild tamarind, four white stoppers four Jamaican capers, six autograph trees and four seven-year apple trees.  The trees were planted in various locations, and several were placed in the 17thStreet median park, which was largely denuded by the storm.  Trees donated by the Trophia Foundation since the storm grace Old Town, Bayview Park, Spottswood Park, 14th St. and Boog Powell Drive parking area.

Native Kristy Callaway Names as KWAHS New Dir. of Education 
 Key West native Kristy Callaway named as Key West Art & Historical Society's new director of education 

Key West native Kristy Callaway has taken the reins as the new director of education for Key West Art & Historical Society, aligning her extensive career history with the organization's mission of enhancing community involvement around its various programs that educate and entertain visitors and locals about Key West's art, architecture, and history while setting her sights on strengthening their international significance. 

With a bevy of experience curating arts and educational partnerships, to say that Callaway is qualified is an understatement. 
 
Her bona fides include a BA in art history and criticism from Florida State University, an MA in the arts in teaching, public administration, and gifted and talented education from the University of South Carolina, College of Charleston, and Converse College. Her career experience includes: Director for Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment with the Beaufort County School District; Public Art Fund Manager for the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry, Hilton Head, SC; an expert consultant for American Girl® Dolls; Executive Director for Arts Schools Network (a non-profit association dedicated to providing leaders in arts schools with quality resources, support, and networking opportunities); and most recently, the Gifted program teacher at Poinciana Elementary School. 
 
Callaway's board involvement includes Florida Alliance for Arts Education; SC Arts Alliance; SC Alliance for Arts Education; Arts in the Basic Curriculum Project; and The Kennedy Center Alliance for Arts Education National Leadership Committee. She also served on the Americans for the Arts Education Advisory Council and the Arts Education Policy Review Journal.
 
"Given the depth of Kristy's past experiences in art, history, and education, the Society looks forward to the new directions she will take the organization's Education Department," says Executive Director Michael Gieda.  

In her new role with Key West Art & Historical Society, Callaway will "study the successful current programming" that supports diverse groups of all ages- the Distinguished Speaker Series, Historic Walking Tours, Harbor Tours, educational programming for schools aligned to state and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) standards, ArtCamp!, Parent & Me and children's educational programs at the Civil War-era Fort East Martello, and school outreach programs- while "seeking new leverage points to build upon" and implementing a range of new initiatives.

"My entire career has focused on arts and education and has afforded me many experiences in cultivating the culture of a place, elevating its significance, and expanding access and awareness of the treasures of history," she says. "With the Society's magnificent properties and curation, we can plan a robust, long-term, multi-tiered, educational engagement continuum for our community." 
Key West Art & Historical Society's educational programming is generously supported by Helmerich Trust. For more information or to contribute your tax-deductible donation to these programs, contact at 305-295-6616 or visit kwahs.org.  Your museums.  Your community.  It takes an island###
