In an abundance of caution, Key West Transit will suspend all bus service including the Lower Keys Shuttle, City Routes, and the Duval Loop starting at 8pm on Friday June 3rd.

According to the National Weather Service, high winds and potential flooding may impact the Keys within the bus service areas. Unless there are unforeseen changes in the weather, the City intends to resume full bus service on Sunday morning, June 5th

Sunday May 22 marked the final day in a 27-year career for Key West Police Capt. JR Torres.

At last week's City Commission meeting, Chief Sean Brandenburg, City Manager Patti McLauchlin and the entire City Commission gave thanks to Capt. Torres for his dedicated years of service, noting that, prior to his tenure with the police he served the community as a paramedic for ten years. In total, Capt. Torres has served the Key West community for 37 years.

Chief Brandenburg, in recognition of his outstanding service to the community, bestowed the honorary rank of Deputy Chief.

During his nearly three decades with the police, Capt. Torres has earned many honors, including the Medal of Valor, the Life Saving Award, and several Chief's Commendations.

He served as a narcotics detective, K9 handler and patrol officer. Ten years ago, he was promoted to Captain and served as Patrol Captain until his retirement.

"This has been the most rewarding and honorable thing I've done in my life," said Capt. Torres. "In my mind there's nothing more rewarding that a person can do as a human being. That feeling you get when you put your head down at night knowing you have done right for others is priceless."

Chief Brandenburg recapped Capt. Torres's remarkable career and, in a long-standing joke around the station, noted that he was, indeed, the Chief's favorite Captain.

"Congratulations, JR, on an amazing career," he said.

At Wednesday's City Commission meeting, City Manager Patti McLauchlin presented Capt. Torres with a plaque honoring his service.

"We've worked together for 27 years," she said, "Through thick and thin. I'm very proud of the service you've given to the community."


In the photo: Commissioners Gregory Davila, Jimmy Weekley and Mary Lou Hoover, Mayor Teri Johnston, City Manager Patti McLauchlin, Police Chief Sean Brandenburg, Capt. JR Torres, Vice Mayor Sam Kaufman, and Commissioners Clayton Lopez and Billy Wardlow.

Today most of the Van Eno's works remain in private collections. His first painting to be offered at auction was "Bathers" at Hindman, Chicago in 2014.


We are so lucky to have this very special, and mysterious, piece of Van's in the gallery. 

 

Van is remembered as a private, yet generous and enormously talented man who came to the fore in the Key West art scene during the 1970s. He had arrived by way of New York City, having previously studied in Germany and England during the post-war period. Over these years, Van started painting in the style of ancient Flemish tapestries, eventually applying this to Biblical themes and all the major Greco-Roman myths. 


Before he passed away of AIDS in 1986 at the age of 39, Van did wonderful things for the Key West community, designing countless theater backdrops, costumes, and promotional materials for events. 

We are also very excited to present two new paintings by Melinda K. Hall.


Melinda is a mastermind of creativity who uses her own set of rules to produce a visual journal. Humor, metaphor, playfulness, color and text are her artistic tools of the trade. Be sure to take note of the "troller" and "tiller" details depicted above in her painting, HOUSE BOAT.


In her imaginative oil paintings, there is almost always more than meets the eye. Every work is a sophisticated, yet delightfully childlike exploration of life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------


We Now Start Part 1 : "THE NATURAL  WORLD FULL OF BEAUTY BEING REPRESENTED FROM ALL 50 STATES.  We Begin with Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, & Connecticut. We will Identify the Photographer and Except Noted ALL are from Getty Images.


ALASKA : WRANGLER-ST.ELIAS NATIONAL PARK & PRESERVE by Cappan.

 

Few states seize the popular imagination like Alaska. And at 13 million acres, Wrangell-St. Elias (the largest national park in the U.S.) encompasses the overwhelming beauty of the far north. Hiking here leads you through a boreal forest, along glittering glaciers (the Root Glacier trail goes right on the icy mass; crampons recommended), and up to ridges for wild mountain views — this park contains some of the highest peaks in the country.

ARIZONA : GRAND CANYON by Dean Fikar


What can we say? The most beautiful place in Arizona is the Grand Canyon. Though outrageous natural beauty is found in every corner of the state, from enchanting Emerald Cove to sacred Canyon de Chelly, nothing quite compares to the majesty of Arizona's flagship feature.

Michael Runkel/Getty Images



Dominating northwestern Arkansas, Ozark National Forest is an all-season haven rich in things to do. Its ferny oak-hickory woods are dotted with caverns (the tour-friendly Blanchard Springs Caverns has an underground river), grottoes, swimming beaches, campsites, and horseback and ATV trails. Whitaker Point and Sam's Throne are favorites with hikers and rock climbers.


CALIFORNIA : YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK by Jadon Smith/Getty Images.


The nation's third-oldest park has major status with the National Park System, UNESCO, and traveler wish lists around the world. The alpine wonderland draws millions of annual visitors to see its high-country Sierra Nevada beauty, marked by granite domes, towering sequoias, and sheer-drop waterfalls.

Hike or drive up to Glacier Point to behold Yosemite Valley from 7,000 feet; the million-dollar panorama includes Yosemite Falls and famous Half Dome, staggeringly close and shooting 4,800 feet at a beyond-vertical pitch above the valley floor.


COLORADO : GARDEN OF THE GODS by Martina Birnbaum/Getty Images


Anyone with even a passing interest in geology (or photography, or just knockout natural splendor in general) might find themselves at a loss for words at the sight of Garden of the Gods. Two tips: Aim to visit the lofty sandstone formations on a weekday morning to avoid the crowds, and take the Siamese Twins loop for a view of the snowy Pikes Peak (inspiration for "America the Beautiful") set in a frame of red rocks.


CONNECTICUT : CONNECTICUT SHORES by Ivan Lebedev/Getty Images

If you close your eyes and try to imagine the ideal seaside town in New England, your vision is probably not too far off from Old Lyme, Mystic, Old Saybrook, and other coastal Connecticut villages. Strung along the Long Island Sound, the small towns combine quiet coastal beauty and gobs of old-timey charm (think white-painted inns and cozy taverns).

We Continue with PART 2 from Popular You-Tube Content Provider "RARE HISTORY" and is called "40 RARELY SEEN POWERFUL AND AMAZING HISTORICAL PHOTOS" In the NEXT Issue.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We continue with Part 2 : The natural world is full of beauty, wonder, and mystery. Nature has the power to create life and the power to take it away. As this collection of photographs show, the natural world is full of surprises that can be destructive and deadly or amazing and inspiring.

As these images were collected on the world wide web, some may be post-edited or altered. User discretion is advised.


Bear attacks on human are rare, despite what this photo and dramatic news reports say. Visitors to the backwoods of Alaska are more apt to die from bee stings and snake bites than they are to be mauls by a bear, yet we fear bears more than bees and snakes. Humans have a primal fear of being eaten by a wild animal, like a bear. This may be an involuntary fear left over from our pioneer days. Still, anytime we venture into the natural habitat of a wild animal, especially an apex predator, we need to be on alert and avoid any sort of behavior that could provoke an attack...perhaps, riding a bike.   

Remember the scene in 1976’s “Rocky” when Sylvester Stallone’s character bought two tiny turtles from his girlfriend, Adrian, who worked at a pet store? Well, those red eared sliders, Cuff and Link, are still alive and celebrating their 44th birthday. When filming of “Rocky” wrapped up, Stallone kept the turtles and still has them today. In fact, word on the street is that Cuff and Link will have a cameo appearance in “Creed 2”. Unfortunately, Butkus, the bull mastiff that also appeared in “Rocky” crossed the rainbow bridge in 1981.

A coomparison showing the size of an ancient Megalodon compared to a modern day Great White shark.

Thank goodness the Megalodon is extinct! No one would venture into the water this giant species of shark patrolling the shores. As this photograph shows, the megalodon was big…enormous actually! The fossilized remained of this monster show that this animal was a killing machine. It was built like a great white shark on steroids. The megalodon could reach nearly 60 feet in length with a biting force of more than 40,000 pounds. The monster shark is often described as one of the largest and most powerful predators to ever live on Earth, but thankfully, that was a long time ago. Scientists estimate that the species died out at the end of the Pliocene era.


 Morocco's tree climbing goats.

It is not the goats that are special in Morocco. It is the trees. The Argania tree is a rare tree that produces such a tasty nut that the local goats just can’t get enough. They will even climb to the top branches in order to pick the delicious nuts. Goats are natural climbers and are extremely sure-footed. Their cousins, the mountain goats, often scale high cliffs on the narrowest of ledges, so climbing on a average size tree is not a difficult task for them. Goats are herd animals, so once one goat spots an Argania tree, all his friends follow him. Soon the tree is full of goats. 


B-25 bombers fly over Mount Vesuvius in Italy while it erupts in March 1944 during the Italian Campaign of World War II

TheE same Mount Vesuvius that erupted in 79 AD and buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under layers of rock and ash has actually erupted several times throughout history. In fact, it is the only volcano located on the European mainland that has erupted in the last several decades. The last significant eruption of the volcano occurred in March of 1944. This eruption destroyed four nearby villages. During the eruption, the U.S. Army Air Force was stationed in nearby Terzigno and the volcanic eruption damaged several aircraft, but not these B-25 bombers who got a bird’s eye view of the eruption

 A very wise dog waiting until his buddy finishes eating!

This dog doesn’t want to mess with the skunk. Smart dog! This smelling mammal found in North and South America is closely related to the weasel despite its nickname, stink badger. The skunk has an effective way of keeping predators away. It sprays a strong smelling liquid from a gland near its anus. Curious dogs are often the unfortunate victim of a skunk spraying. There are special shampoos on the market that are said to remove the odor of skunk from dog fur, or you could try the home remedy of bathing the dog in tomato juice.

Here are Two Articles from Monroe County for 'ART IN PUBLIC PLACES"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLIC INVITE: GRAND OPENING AND RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY FOR PLANTATION KEY COURTHOUSE & GOVERNMENT CENTER
PLANTATION KEY, FL – The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners, the 16th Judicial Circuit Court, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, and Monroe County’s Constitutional Officers invite the public to the grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Plantation Key Courthouse and Government Facility. The ceremony is Thursday, June 2, starting at 11 a.m. Following the ceremony, anyone who wishes to tour the inside of the judicial building, which includes seven Art in Public Places pieces, can until 1 p.m. (must go through security). Centennial Bank will be serving hot dogs and hamburgers to those in attendance. The Monore County Sheriff’s Office Honor Guard will present the colors, and the Upper Keys Community Key Largo Community Band and The Mangrove Swamp Band will play patriotic songs at the event.
 The project consolidates the existing functions on the site into a new state-of-the-art 48,240 square foot facility that includes:
  • 16th Judicial Circuit of Florida
  • Monroe County Clerk of the Court
  • State Attorney’s Office
  • Monroe County Sheriff’s Office
  • Monroe County Public Works 
According to Upper Keys historian Jerry Wilkinson, the original building, the sheriff’s substation, was built in 1958 with additions, like the courthouse and other government offices, dedicated in 1967. 
“This is a beautiful upgrade to our community that has been a long time in the making,” said Monroe County Mayor David Rice. “There was a great deal of thought put into this project, and I would like to express a special appreciation to the staff and all of those involved who juggled how to build this and keep everything going while we are under construction.”

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES ANNOUNCES SEVEN NEW INSTALLATIONS AT PLANTATION KEY COURTHOUSE AND GOVERNMENT CENTER

 

PLANTATION KEY, FL – Monroe County’s Art in Public Places 1% for Public Art Program announces seven new installations in the new Monroe County Courthouse and Government Center in Plantation Key. During the ribbon-cutting ceremony and public tour of the building on June 2 at 11 a.m., visitors are invited to view site-specific commissioned works of art throughout the facility.

 

“The selection process focused on choosing artwork that would create a relaxing environment for those who work and visit the building,” said Florida Keys Council of the Arts Executive Director Elizabeth Young. “Courthouses can be stressful environments so the committee focused on pieces that are full of color, texture, and timeless design.”

 

Artists from Monroe County are Sally Binard of Key West, John David Hawver of Islamorada, and Lothar Speer of Key West. Other commissioned artists included are Dayton Claudio of Chico, California, Christian Eckart of Houston, Texas, Maureen Melville of McLean, Virginia, and Lori Nozick of Los Angles, California. The Art in Public Places committee is appointed by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners and meets monthly to manage the program. Chairwoman Susann D’Antonio of Big Pine, Vice-Chair Jeffrey Harwell of Key West, Eric Anderson of Tavernier, Beth Kamenstein of Islamorada, and Cristy Spottswood of Key West convened with the Honorable Judge Luis Garcia, Clerk of the Court Kevin Madok, and Court Administrator Holly Elomina in May 2021 to select the seven proposals and then unanimously approved the artist’s contracts.

 

Young worked with the selected artists and Monroe County Project Manager Matthew Howard to ensure all artwork was completed and installed in time for the grand opening.

 

Other recently completed projects in Monroe County include the Cudjoe Key Fire Station and the Monroe County Public Library Marathon branch. The next upcoming large-scale project will be at Key West International Airport. Artists interested in being considered should update their contact information with the Arts Council to receive the Request for Qualifications to be considered in the pre-qualified pool of public artists. For more information, email director@keysarts.com or call 305-295-4369

 

Here are the 7 Artisans that have had their works recently placed in Monroe County Public Places. I Will Hopefully get the Titles-Dimensions,& Mediums and Insert in the Next Issue


1) CHRISTIAN ECKART (Houston, Texas) Mixed Media

2) SALLY BINARD (Key West) Mixed Media

A hermitt crab using a human skull for a shell.

Hermit crabs don’t come with their own shells like other sea creatures. Instead they make their homes in scavenged shells of other animals, or, as this image shows, whatever other handy container is available to them. In this case, a human skull serves as a perfect home for a hermit crab. This is probably a temporary home. As the hermit crab grows, it needs to find bigger shells. It searches for vacant shells or other items to move into before abandoning their current shell. Since vacant shells can sometimes be a rare commodity, hermit crabs will fight each other for the best shells. We are not sure if this hermit crap was the winner or the loser. 


This tornado that was caught on camera near Oklahoma City back in 1898.

Whenn this tornado struck the town of Waynoka, Oklahoma, in May of 1898, someone was prepared with a camera to capture the twister. Some claim that the two unidentified gentlemen in this photograph were engaging in storm chasing when this image was taken, but David Hoadley, who was born in 1938, a whole forty years after this photograph was taken, is the first recognized storm chaser. Hoadley began his career as a storm chaser in 1956 in North Dakota, using date from nearby airports and weather offices. Hoadley founded “Storm Track” magazine. If the men in this pic were, indeed, storm chasing, they were most likely just amateurs who liked to watch wicked weather.  


CHEVAL-PAINTING5 _400x267_.jpg

A star nosed mole.

Thiss odd-looking creature is the star-nosed mole. It is easy to identify the star-nosed mole because the tiny rodent has twenty-two pink appendage-like structures surrounding its nose. These pink tentacles-looking organs are sensory structures called Elmer’s organs, and they are so sensitive that they pick up vibrations, touch, smells, and temperature changes. This unique evolutionary adaptation makes the star-nosed mole’s Elmer’s organ the more sensitive sensory system of any mammal. You can find the star-nosed mole in the northern regions of North America and it makes its home in low, wet areas. 


CHEVAL15 _336x400_ _2_.jpg

Mammatus clouds over Nebraska after a tornado.

Because they are said to resemble the udders of an animal, this unique cloud formation is called mammatus clouds, or mammary clouds. These odd-looking clouds are formed by cold air that drops down to form pouches in the convection of warm air. Mammatus clouds most often occur in conjunction with anvil clouds, cumulonimbus clouds, and cirrus clouds and form on the heels of thunderstorms. They have also been associated with volcanic ash clouds. This cloud phenomenon was first recorded by William Clement Ley in 1894. Mammatus clouds can be dangerous for pilots because they form in downdrafts. 


CHEVAL43 _400x399_.jpg

Abandoned by his mother in a Chinese forest, Qizai is the only known Brown Panda in the world.

Poor Qizai! He was bullied by other pandas because of his unusual coloring and was abandoned by his mother when he was just a few months old. Some sort of genetic mutation gave Qizai brown and white fur instead of the black and white fur that other pandas have. In fact, Qizai is the only known brown panda in the world. Fortunately, Qizai was found by humans and taken to the Foping Panda Valley in China where he is safe from bullying and thriving. Now seven years old, caretakers are hoping to find him a mate.

 For the month of June, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St., www.saltislandprovisions.com) will feature “Imbue,” a collection of works by visionary Key West artist Emma Starr. To celebrate, SALT will host an opening reception at the gallery on Friday, June 10 from 6-8 p.m.

            Starr, who signs her work, “emjay”, is a magician of sorts. She creates ineffable images from the Zen power of empty landscape, an enzo of all and nothing, when this becomes that…like magic.

           Often the figure is landscape, and the landscape is figurative, but there is a quality to her point and shoot plastic camera images so direct, it stirs. Perhaps because the images are not photoshopped but made from film, even expired film, that the ghostly images emerge. They are haunting. 

           We are accustomed to seeing Emma’s Polaroids, but this new body of work is apart from that. 

           “The beautiful imperfections of expired film and lo-fi cameras create an unadulterated impression of nature’s harmonious shapes,” Starr says. “The intermittent presence of semi-submerged human form represents the vacancy of busyness…something we often forget to make time for as we reside on this island rock we call home. Grain, blur, and desaturated colors are the essence of the final image.”

Starr’s work will be on display at the gallery from June 1-30. SALT Gallery features an eclectic collection of local art, local sea salts, jewelry, pottery, wine and Florida Keys honey. Gallery owners Maria Sharpe and Laura Richardson, aided by expert Gallery Director Sarah Plaia Davidson, feature a new artist each month at SALT.

 Andy Llanes Bultó is a young and talented Cuban painter, graduated from ISA, who bases his work on the human body. His large-format paintings of him make up a collection that is recognized internationally today.

The pictorial technique of the Cuban artist Andy Llanes surpasses the borders of the irrational, in his pieces we can find photographic perfection as a result of an intoxicating work. A mix between impressionism and realism that produces an almost photorealistic work.
