Films to screen at outdoor venues with socially-distant seating program to focus on stories of Women, LGBTQ+, Music & Arts
 The Key West Film Festival (KWFF) revealed its plans for the 9th annual festival, set for November 18-22, 2020. Building off the mantra of “Passion Meets Paradise,” the festival will be embracing its tropical paradise setting by moving all screenings to outdoor venues across the island. Each venue will feature socially-distant seating and masks will be required throughout all screenings. Full COVID-19 policies will be released in the upcoming weeks.
This year’s festival will have a spotlight on films by and about women, LGBTQ cinema, and movies about music and the arts! As always, outstanding work from Florida filmmakers will be presented, as well as critically-acclaimed shorts and features from around the world. Films showcased in the last five years of KWFF have amassed more than SIXTY-FIVE Academy Award nominations.
The 6th annual Critics Panel is back once again, as is the Golden Key for Excellence in Costume Design, amidst an exciting and engaging weekend of cinema and socially-distanced events in Key West. Venues will span throughout The Key West Historic District (Old Town), and for the first time in KWFF history, extend to beautiful Stock Island to make the festival even more inclusive of the Key West metro area. The festival will also be complementing its live, in-person screenings with virtual programming audiences can enjoy from their homes.
Brooke Christian, Founder and Executive Director of the Key West Film Festival, notes “The staff of the 2020 Key West Film Festival is committed to helping provide the community with joy and inspiration during an incredibly tough year. We will use beautiful venues and stringent safety protocols to offer a smaller program using outdoor and streaming options. With many fewer films produced this year, we will still exact the highest standards of excellence for the festival.”
“Art builds community,” says Florida Keys Council of the Arts Executive Director Liz Young,” and I am a huge fan of what the Key West Film Festival brings to our island community. I especially love that this year the festival will be utilizing our beautiful outdoor venues so we can continue to experience the cutting-edge films the festival brings to the island, many of which go on to win major awards, including Oscars. We are so fortunate to experience great filmmaking, talk backs with industry professionals, while showing off all that Key West has to offer.” FOR ADDITIONAL INFO AND PHOTOS GO TO THEIR ADDITIONAL FEATURE FURTHER DOWN ; as well as WWW.KWFILMFEST.COM ALSO THERE IS a 2:52 Minute Trailer for the Movie : Gimme Shelter in Part 2 of the Key West Film Fest Feature in this Issue

Over the past several months, MARC clients have had to take extra safety precautions and self-isolate to protect their health. During that difficult time, many have found art-making to be a perfect outlet. This collection of paintings and sculptures by MARC clients shows the highs, lows and in-between felt by this community during a most unusual time.

Our good friend Carol Tedesco writes "Hello friends - please share! Back in May, Roberta DePiero approached me about collaborating on a photo-book commemorating the Key West COVID-19 Spring of 2020. She'd noticed that I and a number of other photographers had been out shooting during what is surely one of the most unique and surreal times in our local history - the "COVID-19 Spring," which we defined as running from March 1, when Florida's first COVID-19 cases were announced, to June 1, the day after the upper Keys checkpoint was dismantled. Seeded with a $1000 grant from the Awesome Foundation Key West and additional donations from individuals and business to help cover the printing expense, this soon-to-be released, beautiful, 352 page, numbered/LIMITED EDITION book - produced as a fundraiser for Sister Season Fund - showcases some 350 images of our island home as experienced by more than 25 photographers. Order now at www.keywestauthors.com. Special pre-printing price $49; price as of November 1 will be $74.99.
*Everyone involved in the creation of this book has donated their time and/or talents so that all proceeds can benefit Sister Season Fund and their crucial COVID-19 relief efforts on behalf of those in tourist-rated industries."

Rare Photos You'll Never Find In History Books


The history books tend to leave out a lot of pictures. Particularly ones like what we're about to show you in this gallery. They capture moments with some of the most iconic faces in history. Here are the rare pictures you won't find in any history book. 

Written by Kennita Leon Rose

Kennita's funky style of writing has only blossomed since she discovered her passion for reading. In her downtime, she loves chillaxing with her friends and letting loose. This grown-up flower child, who hails from the Caribbean, can definitely hang with us any time.



Colonel (Harland) Sanders in Louisville Kentucky, 1977
Sporting his iconic white suit, black String Bow Tie, platinum hair, and warm smile, Colonel Sanders happily poses in Kentucky with two of his fans in 1977. Like many others, these two probably loved Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Vin Diesel in high school, 1985
Vin Diesel completed high school but dropped out of college to pursue his acting career. He is still in the acting field as he is also a producer, director and screen writer. His most successful films have been The Fast and Furious film franchise. 
(Above in Lead Tease Photos)

Mohammad Ali, 1954
Mohammad was introduced to Boxing in his pre-teens because his bike was stolen and he wanted to learn how to fight in the event that he caught the person. He always spent time reading the Bible while other young boys chased after girls and did things their age. After a successful career in boxing, Ali retired, and later died after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s syndrome.
 --------------------------------------------------------
Arnold Schwarzenegger walking through Munich to promote his own gym, 1969.
He also walked away with the prize of Mr. Universe in that same year. He also has a very successful acting career, a political career and is also a businessman. 

Annie Easley, NASA Computer Scientist and Mathematician, 1955
At a time when racial segregation was still rampant, Anne Easley beat the odds and became a computer engineer and mathematician at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), later known as NASA. Out of the 2,500 employees at the time, she was only one of four African Americans.

Love these witches hats. And looks like this rigged with lights on the top too.
The Coast Guard cutter is coming back in. Key West Harbor.
Sun rays...
A peek through the window to the royal poinciana in bloom. Not sure why it is blooming so late in the year, but it is gorgeous.
Coast guard base.
Wow, a Waterfront Playhouse poster for upcoming radio broadcasts! It was so strange to see a poster like this so common during season...

The gecko and Truman Waterfront....
Hi back! Please don't fall off while putting the tent up!

Rare Photos You'll Never Find In History Books
Written by Kennita Leon Rose
The history books tend to leave out a lot of pictures. Particularly ones like what we're about to show you in this gallery. They capture moments with some of the most iconic faces in history. Here are the rare pictures you won't find in any history book. 
Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Jack Nicholson on the set of The Witches of Eastwick in 1987
Four familiar Hollywood faces collaborated to produce the critically acclaimed move, The Witches of Eastwick in 1987. Each actor’s performance created a film that was humorous and ridiculous, but well-received.
 


 
David Bowie on the set of The Man Who Fell To Earth, 1976
Die-hard David Bowie fans are bound to remember his performance in The Man Who Fell To Earth. The highly acclaimed movie is best known for Bowie’s performance and the stunning imagery. Here, Bowie sits with the crew, accessorized with a trench coat and fedora hat.



J.F.K. and his daughter enjoy a meal
Propped on a foot stool, a young Kennedy looks up at her father as they engage in a very important conversation over a meal. Perhaps one day, she hopes to hold a fork just like her daddy did. 

 
Jodie Foster and Robert De Niro on the set of Taxi Driver, 1976
This story of a vigilante taxi driver was a critical and commercial success. DeNiro played the vigilante protagonist, while Foster (who was 12 years old at the time) played a teenage prostitute. 
  
Marilyn Monroe with a sprained ankle on crutches, 1953 
Even on her worst days, Marilyn Monroe still managed to look flawless. Though she seems a bit grouchy in this photo (understandably), her poise, style, and sex-appeal still shines through
Sean Connery plus kitty on the set of Dr. No in 1962 
Here, Sean Connery takes a break from the action and gun-play that is synonymous with the James Bond character. He shows his softer side by playing with the paws of this sleepy kitten

The Truman Waterfront Farmers Market continues to operate on Thursdays from 3 pm to sunset through December which has brought overwhelmingly positive support from the community. The Market typically includes cheese, produce, fruit, baked goods, coffee, plants and fresh seafood along with international cuisine available for take-away. Arts, crafts and general merchandise round out the offerings. Additional picnic-style food options, occasional acoustic musicians and a beer and wine stand to encourage the community to shop the market, get dinner and enjoy the sunset views from the Truman Waterfront Park. Blankets and lawn chairs are permitted with ample space to social distance. Stringent safety protocols, including mandatory masks, remain in place to protect vendors and visitors alike.

About South Florida Symphony Orchestra
South Florida Symphony Orchestra, founded by Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso 23 years ago, provides exciting and enriching cultural experiences through Masterworks concerts with internationally renowned guest solists in Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Key West. Guided by the belief that music is pivotal to community engagement, SFSO also brings vibrancy and strengthens public commitment to the arts through its transformative outreach and educational programming, including Symphony in the Schools for culturally underserved students.

After impressive career successes, Maestra Alfonso returned “home” to Key West, Florida, in 1997 to make a dream come true: bringing orchestral music, with all its associated educational and cultural benefits, to the southernmost island in the continental United States. In late 1998, with huge community support, the Key West Symphony made its debut. Subsequently renamed, the South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is the only professional orchestra that performs full seasons in Key West, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Award-winning Maestra Alfonso has established herself as a dynamic musical force. She is one of the few female conductors in the world. Her creativity has established SFSO as a leader in innovative collaborations, which are evolving the classical music art form and attracting new audiences.

An Amazing On-Line and Hardcopy Selection of Books; many from Keys Authors

1) ACCOUNTING CAN BE MURDER BY STEVE McMILLIAN

2) I HUMAN A WHODUNIT AWARD WINNER BY RICHARD VETERE


HERE IS A LIST OF THEIR CO-FOUNDERS AND WRITERS

One of the Popular Groovy History Editors Lyra Radford

Lyra spends her days exploring all shades of history. In her writing, she covers topics ranging from the 'groovy' to the downright strange. She enjoys books, movies, and strong coffee. She also fancies herself the world's greatest air hockey player. She learned the ins and outs of writing and producing film/television at Palm Beach State and The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She is currently enrolled at Arizona State University studying psychology and writing. Her work has been featured by some of the most prolific sites on the web and she is the author of the travel guide "Two-Days Exploring Haunted Key West".

ONE OF THE POPULAR GROOVY HISTORY EDITORS JACOB SHELTON
Jacob Shelton is a Los Angeles based writer. For some reason this was the most difficult thing he’s written all day, and here’s the kicker – his girlfriend wrote the funny part of that last sentence. As for the rest of the bio? That’s pure Jacob, baby. He’s obsessed with the ways in which singular, transgressive acts have shaped the broader strokes of history, and he believes in alternate dimensions, which means that he’s great at a dinner party. When he’s not writing about culture, pop or otherwise, he’s adding to his found photograph collection and eavesdropping on strangers in public.

Rebeka Knott (3rd Photo Down) is another one of their Frquent Writers
Writer of this Feature and many other GROOVY HISTORY Features
Rebeka grew up in the 1960’s & 1970’s and has always subscribed to the theory that a positive attitude will take you far! She is a wife and mother of 3 with a fun-loving spirit, believing that family and relationships are invaluable.

Karen Harris (4th Photo Down) is Another Frequent Writer /Editor and her work can be seen in this issue with "UNBELIEVABLE VINTAGE ADVERTISEMENTS"
Karen left the world of academic, quitting her job as a college professor to write full-time. She spends her days with her firefighter husband and four daughters on a hobby farm with an assortment of animals, including a goat named Atticus, a turkey named Gravy, and a chicken named Chickaletta.

MONROE, FL – The Florida Association of Counties’ Institute for County Government presented Monroe County Mayor Pro Tem Michelle Coldiron with the Advanced County Commissioner designation following her completion of a comprehensive study program after becoming a Certified County Commissioner. The designation included a series of seminars and coursework that focuses on leadership with an emphasis on the future of Florida. Coldiron was tasked with preparing for the future by asserting skillful leadership in times of daunting challenges and rapid change.
 
“The amount of knowledge exchanged in both the Certified County Commissioners and the Advanced programs are immeasurable,” Coldiron said. “I’ve had the opportunity to make numerous connections with commissioners across the state, which will only benefit the well-being of our county.”
 
The Florida Association of Counties represents the diverse interests of Florida’s counties, emphasizing the importance of protecting home rule – the concept that government closest to the people governs best – through advocacy, education, and collaboration.
 
“Through this program, veteran commissioners from across Florida are able to work collaboratively on the state’s most pressing challenges,” said Eric Poole, the institute’s executive director. “Those who choose to participate are further prepared to meet the unique demands of a public servant.”

Free music education school Bahama Village Music Program seeks Executive Director
Bahama Village Music Program, the Florida Keys’ only free and comprehensive music school serving more than 200 students, bids adieu to Executive Director Kätchen Duncan as she steps back after 15 years of leadership to focus on the arrival of her child, due in December.  Duncan will return after maternity leave to continue teaching but will not resume the Executive Directorship for the non-profit organization. A search is underway within the Key West community.
The BVMP Executive Director responsibilities and activities are broad and considerable and affect both the long-term and daily program activities. The viability of the program relies on the participation and interaction of the Executive Director with student teachers, professional instructors, the Board of Directors, and the community that the program serves.
“The position requires a forward-thinker ready to step into all that entails running a non-profit organization and really embracing their role as ambassador of our organization, says Duncan. “It’s because of our relationships with this amazing community and our many supporters that we have been able to continue doing what we do, year after year, while growing to serve more children through the gift of free music education.”
Throughout the program’s two decades, the Bahama Village Music Program has offered 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. Outreach programs include Keys Kids Junior, House of Pan Steel Pan Band at Horace O’Bryant School, Dance Key West dance lessons, a Junkanoo music program, free summer camps for 25 children with the most need, and annual full-tuition scholarships & grants to student teachers to attend the Berklee College of Music’s “Aspire,” a five-week music performance intensive.
Interested applicants should be passionate about and dedicated to the program’s mission of music for every child while being capable of general oversight, management, fundraising, and outreach while managing various multi-task challenges. The position is supported by long-serving staff and dedicated student and professional instructors.
“BVMP and our mission of music for every child is so important to me and our incredible staff,” says Duncan. “We hope the right person is ready to help us keep the music playing for 20 more years!”
Interested applicants should email a resume to katchen@bvmpkw.org. Applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview.  Celebrating 20 years of free music education. It takes a village. ###

Dengue can present as a severe flu-like illness with severe muscle aches and pain, fever and sometimes a rash. Usually, there are no respiratory symptoms. Symptoms of Dengue will appear within 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Dengue fever is not contagious but is transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito.
The emergence of these Dengue cases reinforces the importance for the public to prevent insect bites and to take basic precautions to help limit exposure. These measures include intact windows and screens and the use of air conditioning, keeping the area around your residence free from containers that collect water, wearing protective clothing and the appropriate use of insect repellents.
For more information, visit www.floridahealth.gov/dengue or www.keysmosquito.org. If you
are experiencing any symptoms or have additional questions, please call DOH-Monroe at
305-293-7500 and choose option 3. The last few Issues had a Larger Feature on Dengue Fever go to the August 10th Issue to see : https://conta.cc/3a8EN0o
