Art. Wherever You Are. Winter Members' Show Dec 3-31
Support local! 75% of art sales go directly to the artist! Work can be purchased online, or you can do it the old fashioned way by giving us a call at 305-296-0458. For additional information on any purchase you make, please read more here. Looking for a specific artist? Artwork is arranged alphabetically by artist first name. If being mostly housebound over the last year has taught us anything, it’s been new ways of connecting. We’ve explored the world virtually, scheduled screen chats with loved ones, and opened our eyes to old injustices and hidden treasures that were around us all along. Our ties to our neighbors – both across the street and across the globe – have never felt more real, and the physical places where we find ourselves seem to matter more than ever, and not at all. For our winter members’ exhibition, we invite artwork about wherever you are – whether it’s the view from your window, or from your mind’s eye.
My Magazine will show you starting this week and going a few more Issues Most of the Art shown in TSKW. Also click Link below to see ALL THE ART NOW...

The City of Key West has partnered with the Monroe County Tourist Development Council to remind visitors and residents that masks are required to be worn in Key West. The TDC has funded an additional two dozen pole banners destined to be installed in the busiest commercial areas. The tourism council is also helping to finance production of a portion of 10 overhead street banners. Besides other measures being taken by both the City and the TDC, Key West portable electronic dynamic messaging signs are also set up at key sites to better inform arriving visitors of the city’s strict mask ordinance. ------------------------------------
The date of the virtual lighting of the Key West menorah has been changed to Sunday, December 13th at 5:30 p.m. To avoid creating a large gathering, the community will be able to enjoy the lighting via Facebook live, available through the City’s official Facebook page. We ask that no one comes to the lighting in person. Everyone is encouraged to find special ways to replace these traditions in this difficult year, things you can do safely social distanced. If we continue to wash, mask and distance, we’ll be doing these traditions together next year. |

Our Weekly "Around the World in Photographs in this Issue December 14th. Features Amboseli National Park in Kenya
Amboseli National Park, formerly Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, is a national park in Kajiado South Constituency in Kajiado County, Kenya. The park is 39,206 hectares in size at the core of an 8,000 km² ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border. The local people are mainly Maasai, but people from other parts of the country have settled there attracted by the successful tourist-driven economy and intensive agriculture along the system of swamps that makes this low-rainfall area, average 350 mm, one of the best wildlife-viewing experiences in the world with 400 species of birds including water birds like pelicans, kingfishers, crakes, hamerkop and 47 raptor species.
View toward Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park, Kenya Near Kenya’s southern border is the 151-square-mile wilderness preserve, Amboseli National Park. It’s part of a larger 3,100-square-mile ecosystem that crosses the border into Tanzania. Within the park, the area around the seasonal Lake Amboseli is known as one of the key places that African elephants gather in the region. Of course, there are other critters here, too, including giraffes, lions, wildebeest, buffalo, zebras, and some 400 bird species. Just across the border from Amboseli towers a landmark that’s hard to miss, even when standing in another country: Mount Kilimanjaro. |

Sales of the book will benefit Sister Season Fund’s COVID-19 relief efforts on behalf of workers in tourist related industries including entertainment, hospitality, lodging, and some retail and guest services. Photographers contributing to the book are Peter Arnow, Susan Bailey, Michael Blades, Lynne Bentley-Kemp, Joe and Ozlem Berg, Larry Blackburn, Kyle Campbell, Jeffrey Cardenas, Alyson Crean, Roberta DePiero, Ralph DePalma, Heather Dow Todd Feit, Tony Gregory, Connie Groth, Jay Hall, Mark Hedden, Martha Hubbard, Bill Klipp, Linda Klipp, Corey Malcom, Andy Newman, Rob O’Neal, Steve Panariello, Carol Tedesco, and Sharon Wells.

Up Next More Works from Wyland BUT FIRST additional Info. brought to us from Cricket Desmarais about the BVMPKW (WWW.BVMPKW.ORG ) and their "HeArt Strings Exhibition and Auction" at WWW.TSKW.ORG ; Of Course to Beneift the Bahama Village Music Program
The Studios of Key West hosts Bahama Village Music Program HeArt Strings pop-up exhibit that brings artists and old instruments together for fundraiser More than a dozen “retired” instruments transformed into works of art by celebrated Key West artists are now on display at The Studios of Key West in support of Bahama Village Music Program. Sales from the pop-up exhibit will be split 50/50 amongst the artists and the island’s only free music education school. Participating artists include Eric Anfinson, Kassy Burnette, Fran Decker, Cricket Desmarais, Kate Divoll, Kate Fago, Tony Gregory, Ben Harrison, Pam Hobbs, Marlene Koenig, Lauren P. McAloon, Jack McDonald, Jim Salem, Jimm Sherington, and B Lucy Stevens. The artists were invited to transform a “retired” string instrument into a creative masterpiece to be sold at a fixed price selected by them. Since March 2020, Bahama Village Music Program has had to cancel over a dozen fundraisers, including their 20th Birthday Bash and many annual events like Fats Navarro Day and Sugarloaf Oktoberfest. These annual events bring in much-needed funding for the non-profit program. The exhibit, sponsored by The Studios, runs until December 24, and unlike traditional exhibits, buyers can take their purchase home immediately, making for great holiday gifts while also supporting artists and the beloved music program. The comprehensive music school fosters important mentor relationships between local teenage musicians and their students and has taught over 20,000 lessons to more than 2,000 children since 1999. The program has grown to include free summer camps for BVMP students, free dance lessons with Dance Key West, yearly full-tuition scholarships and grants to student teachers to attend the Berklee College of Music’s Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive, and full-scale musical theater productions with Keys Kids Junior and House of Pan Steel Pan Band at Horace O’Bryant School— inspiring children island-wide to discover the musician within. The Studios of Key West is open from 12:00pm – 4:00pm Tuesdays through Saturdays. For more information, email BVMP board member Cricket Desmarais at Cricket@bvmpkw.org.

Newton-John also shed some light as to why she and Travolta never dated, "I think it was good, because I think it kept the tension there and the chemistry. It might have been a real disaster had we decided to date or we had a falling out or something. So I think it was just as well that it didn't happen." |

Ozzy Osbourne is the chestnut Prince of Darkness (1974) Can we all agree that Ozzy Osbourne looks like a young hippie here more than the Prince of Darkness? Regardless, he will always be remembered with that nickname, performing as the frontman of Black Sabbath. In 1974, they even performed in front of over 200,000 fans at the California Jam. Osbourne left Black Sabbath for a few weeks before rejoining the band to record “Never Say Die.” Unfortunately for big heavy metal fans, he was out of the band for good in 1979. |

Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth both look dashing “Diamond” David Lee Roth got the party started for the Van Halen. As the lead singer, he groomed Van Halen to become a hard rock band that began playing in backyards then ended up headlining stadiums. Of course, it wasn't all him. Van Halen had that pulsating beats and frantic guitar that were astounding to hear. Now you know that before Van Halen became one of the biggest bands in the world, it took a lot of years of hardwork before they ever hit their big break. |

The Breakfast Club became closer than ever while filming Don't you forget about this incredible cast! The 1985 John Hughes film resulted to five actors turning into friends in real life. Shooting The Breakfast Club was so easy going that Molly Ringwald Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy grew closer together. When the shoot finally came to an end, the five castmates seemed like they were experiencing separation anxiety. Director John Hughes was to the rescue! He gave each of them a piece of the library’s banister as a memorabilia. |

The 1960 Cadillac Eldorado looks more like a boat than a car Sure, it feels refreshing and heartwarming to see old photos of people, but it's the same feeling with vintage cars. Just take a peek at this 1960 Cadillac Eldorado. It's practically shaped like a boat but totally looks cool to drive. This model would pass as an early version of the Batmobile. As powerful and as dramatic did the Eldorado seem, potential buyers were not fascinate enough. Cadillac then altered the car to make it a little more mainstream by removing the massive fins. |

River and younger brother Joaquin Phoenix at home in 1986 Years before River would become a teen idol gone too soon and decades before Joaquin would win an Oscar, they were just young brothers who were the best of friends, too. River would convince Joaquin to dedicate his life appearing on screen. Joaquin shared, "And he said, ‘You’re going to start acting again, this is what you’re going to do. He didn’t ask me, he told me. And I am indebted to him for that because acting has given me such an incredible life."

Surf's up at the beach (1964) In 1964, most of California had turned into hippies. Except for Southern California. SoCal had leaned kids who wanted to go full tan and hit the beach all the time. Thanks to the Beach Boys' music and films featuring the surfing scene of the region, the water pasttime was becoming a huge thing. Whether it was Huntington Beach, Malibu, or Venice, people would go to get their Vitamin D fix and surfing experience. Hip cats would visit the beaches every weekend they could.

|
An all American family, The Munsters in 1964 Warning: this photo will inspire you to take a break from Netflix series and watch this 1960s show, The Munster. Once you hear the horror tinged surf song at the beginning of the episode, you will not stop devouring the sitcom. The Munster centers around the monsters living in a “normal” neighborhood. The story is downright wholesome and not scary at all. Every heartwarming episode would actually remind you of the 1957 comedy Leave It To Beaver, because the show was created by the same team. |

BIG NEWS! We have worked for months on a COVID plan that would allow us to present theater "live" while ensuring the health and well-being of everyone involved. Our board members agreed that a space we could "control" was a must. We are excited to announce that Fringe will be renting the first floor at the Armory, located at 600 White Street, from the Historic Florida Keys Foundation. This is a big move for us -- in more ways than one. But we believe it's the right move since it lets us present our 2020-21 Main Stage season in a space that accommodates social distancing and all the other appropriate health protocols. We've got lots more great news to announce about our season. We're going to be trying a lot of things, and we hope that you will be there with us ... in whatever way makes you comfortable! 'Fringe at the Armory' will remain Key West's community-focused theater. Now more than ever! www.fringetheater.org.. Photos below from Daaisha Cochran. |

Kristen Livengood, Public Information Officer, Monroe County
TAKE THE TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN SURVEY TO HELP PROVIDE FUTURE DIRECTION FOR U.S. 1 Monroe County, FL - Monroe County is in the process of preparing a Transportation Master Plan that will provide future direction for U.S. 1 within Monroe County. Your feedback is vital in helping develop the Transportation Master Plan. Visit us1masterplan.com to find information on the plan, progress on each phase, a public survey, and an interactive map where you can pinpoint areas of concern. We encourage you to provide as much feedback on your idea of traffic issues (congestion, safety, signals, pedestrian, bicycle, etc.), where these issues are, and possible solutions. (If completing the survey by using a smartphone, use the dropdown arrows for questions 1 & 2 to move forward - it allows you to type in the box but doesn't recognize that to move on.) The primary objective of this study is to identify transportation needs, develop goals/objectives, and develop an action plan to meet those goals. The action plan will identify potential short-term solutions (1-5 years), mid-term (6-10 years), and long-term solutions (10-20 years). These solutions may include roadway, signal, and signage and marking improvements to address traffic issues and/or multi-modal solutions addressing the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit. ----------------------------------------
MONROE COUNTY, FL – Monroe County has allocated all $1 million in the second round of CARES Act Small Business Grant Program funding to 268 small local businesses that were affected by COVID-19. The County funded $2 million to 527 businesses in both rounds of the program. In round 2, 159 sole proprietors received $2,500, 86 2-10 employee businesses received $5,000, and 23 11-25 employee businesses received $7,500. Funded businesses included retail, food, galleries, commercial and charter fishing, salons, photographers, property management companies, and fitness centers, among others. A business that applied but did not receive funding may have had an incomplete application, were not eligible (too many employees, multiple business applications with the same owner), or the application was submitted properly but was later than other complete applications on the first-come, first-serve basis. The Monroe County CARES Act Program is a grant program funded by an allocation to Monroe County from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act through the State of Florida Division of Emergency Management to be used in assisting local governments in the recovery process from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the $2 million business grant program, approximately $368,000 was distributed for utilities assistance to about 400 commercial and residential customer accounts that were in arrears, $1 million was distributed or set aside for critical needs like food and nonprofit grant assistance, and $1.4 million is being processed for those who applied for the rental and mortgage assistance program. The County’s Office of Management and Budget compiled the small business assistance grant distribution overview for both rounds of the program. This information can be found on our website.

We Now Start Part 7 of 8 Weeks of showing an AMAZING 120+ Collection of Classic Cars Owned by Jay Leno "Jay Leno's Garage". He also had a CNBC TV Show Featuring his 120 Classic Cars WWW.LENOSGARAGE.COM |
|
97. 1907 White Steam Car Model Year: 1907 Original Value: $3,500-$4,500* Current Value: $1,750* Another antique from Leno’s Garage was the White Steam Car from 1907. This Steam Car gets 30HP, and it debuted on Jay Leno’s Garage in 2012. The White Car was built by The White Company, and it was priced above the Rolls-Royce at the time. The White Company would go on to switch over to gasoline cars a few years after the White Steam Car’s release. The White Steam Car, built in Cleveland, Ohio, was practically a tank. Made of a steel alloy, the Car weighed in at 3,635 pounds. In addition to Leno’s garage, there is another White Steam Car on display at the Henry Ford Museum. |
|
98. 1969 Espada Model Year: 1969 Original Value: $21,000* Current Value: $129,515* Jay Leno’s 1969 Lamborghini Espada was Leno’s choice over a Ferrari 330GTC. He bought the car in the 1980s, picking it over the Ferrari that would later be worth almost a million bucks. Leno chose the Espada because it had more space and horsepower—not to mention, it was $2,500 cheaper than the 330 GTC at the time. Leno restored the Espada, fitting it with a V12. Marcello Gandini was behind the design of the Espada’s unique body, and Gandini was a prominent member of Bertone, a famous auto design house. He was also the brains behind the Bugatti EB110, Countach, Miura, and BMW E12.
|
|
99. 1955 Buick Roadmaster Model Year: 1955 Original Value: $1,910* Current Value: $22,300* Leno purchased his “Rosebud” (a Citizen Kane reference, for those who don’t know), a 1955 Buick Roadmaster, when he was a struggling comic and a mechanic. He bought the Roadmaster in 1972 for a measly $350, far below the car’s original list price. The Roadmaster has been on Leno’s Garage a couple times. The Roadmaster, which Hot Rod Network described as the comedian’s “First Love,” was a staple of the Buick lineup from 1936 until 1958 and again from 1991 until 1996. The Roadmaster’s ’55 iteration had some new-and-improved features, such as gold accents, bars on its hubcaps, a new hood ornament, and more. |
|
100. 1906 Stanley Steamer Vanderbilt Cup Racer Model Year: 1906 Original Value: $600* Current Value: $4.09 million* Jay Leno’s 1906 Stanley Steamer Vanderbilt Cup Racer is still drivable, as evidenced by a 2012 episode of Leno’s Garage. Though he’s upgraded it with some more modern features to make it drivable, it is still in pretty good condition. The Cup Racer set the world record in 1906 for the fastest mile-time: 28.2 seconds. It also set a speed record that year, reaching a top speed of 127MPH. The 1906 Cup Racer took twenty minutes to get moving. First, the driver had to heat the pilot. Then, the driver had to open the fuel. After the liquid hit the pilot, it would turn to gas
|
|
101. 1920s Rever Model Year: 1920s Original Value: $345* Current Value: $375* In order to keep his Revere from completely breaking down, Leno’s mechanics had to cast a special radiator shell. The Revere is still part of Leno’s garage, and he featured it on his show in recent years. Leno’s Revere is from the 1920s. If “Revere” doesn’t sound familiar, that’s because it had a short lifespan. The Revere Motor Car Corporation was one of the first supercar manufacturers in America. Adolph Monsen toured Logansport, Indiana in the first bare chassis in August of 2017. The Revere marque, founded 100 years ago, was described by Bonham’s as “one of the finest…cars of its time.

EMERGENCY DIRECTIVE FROM THE CITY OF KEY WEST PROCLAIMED ON 12/3/2020 IN EFFECT THURSDAY 12/31/2020 10PM TO SUNDAY JANUARY 3, 2021
Key West Mayor Teri Johnston, after an extensive discussion at Thursday’s City Commission meeting, has enacted an emergency directive providing for a curfew in order to avoid a public health emergency during the New Year’s holiday. The directive reads: “Commencing on Thursday, December 31, 2020 at 10 p.m. and terminating on Sunday, January 3, 2021, at 6:00 a.m., a curfew is hereby imposed for the City of Key West, effective from 10 p.m. each night through 6 a.m. the next morning. All non-essential businesses shall close on or before 10 p.m. each night. Persons shall be in their residences or lodging establishments no later than 10:30 p.m. each night. During the period of such curfew, no person shall make use of any street or sidewalk for any purpose, except police, fire rescue, first responder, medical, health care, media, and utility repair service personnel.” The curfew will not apply to: people returning directly to their homes from work at essential establishments or going directly to work at essential establishments from their homes; people making deliveries from essential establishments; people walking their dogs within 250 feet of their residences; and those traveling to or from any religious service. ---------------------------------------
Key West Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission proclaimed Dec. 21st National Homeless Persons Memorial Day during the December City Commission meeting. For the past 21 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. On Monday, December 20th the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition will coordinate a virtual memorial service to remember the homeless individuals who have died in Key West and Monroe County over the past year. Their remains will be interred in the FKOC vault in the Key West Cemetery. Stephanie Kaple, Executive Director of the Florida Keys Outreach Coalition, accepted the proclamation. She encouraged the community to tune in to the FKOC Facebook page to remember those who have died. “Hopefully,” said Kaple, “someday soon we won’t have to have these memorials anymore.” The day is set aside to remember those who have died homeless because it is the longest night of the year. While many of us pass that long night in a bed with a roof over our head, says Kaple, others suffer it sleeping on the streets. In the attached photo: Mayor Teri Johnston, FKOC Executive Director Stephanie Kaple, and Vice Mayor Sam Kaufman.

Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commission last night commended A.H. of Monroe County, Inc. on the completion of Marty’s Place, the new affordable housing complex near Key West High School.
“A.H. of Monroe County, Inc, formerly known as Aids Help continues to lead by example in creating new truly affordable housing for our community in Key West,” reads the commendation.
Marty’s Place provides 47 units for members of the community – many with disabilities – earning less than $42,000 a year with an affordable apartment.
Scott Pridgen, executive director of A.H. Monroe, accepted the commendation, noting that the organization has expanded its reach as needs in the community have expanded.
“This success is an example of what our community organizations can achieve in providing relief to the hundreds of community members and our workforce who remain on waitlists for affordable housing within the lower income categories,” Mayor Johnston wrote in the commendation.

NOVEMBER 19, 2020 The Key West City Commission today amended the City’s mask ordinance in light of the current spike in Covid-19 cases. After an in-depth discussion, the commission voted unanimously to remove an exemption that had allowed the removal of masks outdoors. The City now requires the wearing of masks any time a resident or a visitor steps out of their residence, they must wear a mask regardless of the ability to social distance “We’re trying to regain control of our more crowded outdoor areas,” City Manager Greg Veliz told the commission. During Tuesday’s meeting, the commission discussed creating mask zones for the busiest areas. However, City Attorney Shawn Smith said zoning would create a patchwork that could lead to inconsistency as well as creating a difficulty for enforcement.

102. 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost Model Year: 2011 Original Value: $246,500* Current Value: $104,937* One of several Rolls-Royces that Leno owns, the 2011 Ghost became a part of the Leno garage in 2010. The 2011 Ghost is the least expensive, smallest sedan from Rolls-Royce, though it doesn’t look that way to the average spectator. The Ghost, which Rolls-Royce describes as the epitome of “beauty in restraint,” was first produced in 2009. It has had a model year ever since, with each Ghost rolling off the line at the Goodwood Plant in West Sussex, England. The Ghost got a new generation in 2019, when it was first spotted testing. The next gen was officially revealed in September of 2020.

103. 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw Model Year: 1957 Original Value: $3,215* Current Value: $255,000* Debuting on Jay Leno’s Garage in 2014, the 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw was owned and “finely rebuilt” (according to AutoBlog.com) by Chuck Olenyk. The Outlaw was transformed from a mere coupe into a speed demon, thanks to Olenyk and his team. The concept of the Outlaw Porsche dates back to the 1950s. Dean Jeffries, one of the pioneers of vehicle customization, modified his Porsche 356 Carrera at the Barris’ body shop in Lynwood, California. This was the first modified Porsche. The “Outlaw” nickname may have been more recent, but the idea of modifying and chopping up a Porsche is decades old.

104. 1941 Plymouth Deluxe Special Business Coupe Model Year: 1941 Original Value: $760* Current Value: $6,850* Leno’s 1941 Plymouth Deluxe Special Business Coupe is bullet-proof. He debuted the Coupe on his show back in 2012. The man who gave Leno the Coupe was called “Fred the Kingpin,” possibly explaining the need for the bulletproofing. The Business Coupe was a special Plymouth trim. The Special Deluxe was a top-of-the-line variation on that trim. The pre-Pearl Harbor Business Coupes were all assembled in Highland Park, Michigan at the Lynch Road Assembly. As far as the Deluxe trim went, it was only around for four years (from 1946 until 1950). In Canada, the Deluxe was called the Dodge Kingsway.

105. 1975 Plymouth Duster HEMI Model Year: 1975 Original Value: $2,500* Current Value: $32,900* Previously owned by Paul Annunziata before Leno bought it, the 1975 Plymouth Duster HEMI was in excellent condition when it became a part of Jay Leno’s garage (and it was featured on the show in 2012). The 1975 Duster was customized and got 1,000 horsepower. The original creator of the Duster passed away after gifting it to Leno. Compared to other models, the Plymouth was short-lived. It had model years from 1970 until 1976, and the semi-fastback coupe was designed to compete with the Vega and the Beetle. The 1975 Dusters had a new grille affixed with the Plymouth tripoint spear at the center. |

106. 1918 Pierce Arrow Model 66 Model Year: 1918 Original Value: $7,200* Current Value: $600,000-$800,000* Jay Leno described his 1918 Pierce Arrow Model 66 as a “class act.” The 66 is larger than average Pierce Arrow models, and it was the last example to roll off the factory lineup. The engine in the 66 was a 14-liter. Also, Jay Leno’s Model 66 is bulletproof. Pierce Arrow is now defunct, but it lives on in 2017 episodes of Jay Leno’s Garage. The Pierce Arrow’s engine was larger than that of any other passenger car. The 66 was part of the “Nickel Era” of automaking, which was a period where the chrome on cars was actually made of nickel. It lasted from the late 1910s until the early 1930s.

ALYSON CREAN CITY OF KEY WEST COMMUNICATIONS
----------------------------
The City of Key West has partnered with the Monroe County Tourist Development Council to remind visitors and residents that masks are required to be worn in Key West. The TDC has funded an additional two dozen pole banners destined to be installed in the busiest commercial areas. The tourism council is also helping to finance production of a portion of 10 overhead street banners. Besides other measures being taken by both the City and the TDC, Key West portable electronic dynamic messaging signs are also set up at key sites to better inform arriving visitors of the city’s strict mask ordinance. ------------------------------------------------------
The holiday season is in full swing, and that means people are out shopping for gifts. The Key West Police Department wants to remind everyone to take extra care to avoid becoming a crime victim. Put gifts in the trunk or somewhere out of sight as you go from store to store. With so much online shopping, people should also try and avoid leaving packages sitting out in plain sight. Most of these companies provide very accurate updates for delivery times, so if possible, try and get them in so as not to tempt porch bandits. Finally, if you’re buying on Craig’s List or an online yard sale, remember that the Key West Police Department’s open air lobby is available 24 hours a day for these exchanges. By conducting these transactions at the police department, both buyers’ and sellers’ privacy is protected. The Key West Police Station is located at 1604 North Roosevelt Blvd. The open-air lobby in front is open 24 hours a day. The Sheriff’s Office is also offering the lobbies of its substations and headquarters building as safe zones for residents making online transactions or to anyone buying or selling in person.
-------------------------------------------- THE CITY OF KEY WEST HAS A NEW MASK ORDINANCE
The Key West City Commission today amended the City’s mask ordinance in light of the current spike in Covid-19 cases. After an in-depth discussion, the commission voted unanimously to remove an exemption that had allowed the removal of masks outdoors. The City now requires the wearing of masks any time a resident or a visitor steps out of their residence, they must wear a mask regardless of the ability to social distance “We’re trying to regain control of our more crowded outdoor areas,” City Manager Greg Veliz told the commission. During Tuesday’s meeting, the commission discussed creating mask zones for the busiest areas. However, City Attorney Shawn Smith said zoning would create a patchwork that could lead to inconsistency as well as creating a difficulty for enforcement.
