PART 1 OF 3 Highlighting the Brilliant Artists of Cocco and Salem

Maureen McCormick will forever be known as Marcia Brady of the Brady Bunch. She was a teen icon from the late 60s into the early 70s. After the show went off the air in 1974, she made guest appearances and eventually made her way onto the reality TV circuit popular today.
Patrick Swayze was in a league of his own with boyish good looks and incredible talents on and off the screen. With classics like Road House, Dirty Dancing, and The Outsiders under his belt, he secured his place as a pop culture icon in no time.
Ann-Margret is an actress, singer, and dancer. Oddly enough, George Burns helped launch her singing career, and from there she went on to conquer acting. Soon she had a 7 year film contract from 20th Century Fox and was starring alongside Elvis, Jack Nicholson, and John Wayne. She earned an Oscar nomination for Carnal Knowledge and was invited to serenade President John F. Kennedy at his 46th birthday party (a year after Marilyn Monroe did).

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. This is an airplane cabin full of falcons. These winged birds of prey were not up to flying to their destination old school. And so, they insisted that their owner give them the same travel benefits as all the other employees. Their owner, a Saudi prince, was determined to show that he was not discriminatory in his approach. And being that he was a Saudi prince, the airline had no choice but to acquiesce.

Part 1 of Many to Come "A Look Back in Photos of the 60's & 70's"

There's no topping the Hollywood legend. The onscreen chameleon has been the sweet brunette, the foxy redhead, and the blonde bombshell.  Her sexy, throaty singing voice had the public referring to her as the 'female Elvis' and her love for motorcycles earned her a daredevil reputation.
Pictured here is a young Al Pacino back in 1973, starring in "Serpico". The actor, filmmaker, and screenwriter wasn't always the brilliant, award winning, creative genius everyone knows him as today. Once he was just getting his feet wet in the world of Hollywood and it was a role as a heroin addict in the 1971 film The Panic in Needle Park, that caught the attention of director Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola passed up actors Jack Nicholson, Robert Redford, and Warren Beatty and cast new comer Al Pacino in 1972 as Michael Corleone in the The Godfather (much to the dismay of studio heads). And a star was born.

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. 


Director Steven Spielberg nicknamed the pneumatically-powered shark "Bruce" after his shark of a lawyer Bruce Ramer. Bruce the prop was an actual beast, weighing in at 1.2 tons and spanning 25 feet in length and not the easiest thing to maneuver. The production itself was marred with technical problems, most of which were the temperamental Jaws.
The shark was so mechanically flawed in fact, that they were forced to limit its screen time. It takes a good hour and 20 minutes before the shark fully appears and the continuous problems took their scheduled 65-day shoot and stuck them with 159-days of Spielberg trying to invent clever ways to shoot around it. 


Pictured here are American actor Charles Bronson and his wife, English actress Jill Ireland. The photo was taken back in 1971 in Santa Monica, California. In addition to starring in their own successful pictures, the glamorous couple co-starred in fifteen films together. She once joked, "I'm in so many Charles Bronson films, because no other actress will work with him."
Ireland was Bronson's second wife, his first was Harriet Tendler, they had two children together before divorcing in 1965. He married Ireland in October of 1968 and they stayed together until her death in 1990. Ireland died of breast cancer at her home in Malibu, California. Bronson had her cremated and put her ashes in one of his canes- which he was later buried with.

AND NOW PART 2 OF 2  "Animal Buddies" ; Pt. 1 in the Last Issue 

Fred the Labrador and Dennis the duckling: Dennis the duckling was left motherless after a fox attacked his mother, but when Fred and his owner found Dennis, they adopted him! The two animals became friends immediately.

Manni the wild boar piglet and Candy the dog: A family from Germany found Manni alone starving in a field by their home. While Manni recovered, he struck up a great friendship with the family's Jack Russell terrier.

Amy the deer and Ransom the dog: A sitka deer named Amy who lived at the Wild Heart Ranch in Oklahoma took a blind dog named Ransom under her care when he moved in. She helped groom him, and she kept him company for years!

Part 1 of  3 Weeks / Parts 
AIRPORT PHOTOS
There's nothing to make you feel quite as unique as being welcomed home by a family member with a large sign at the airport. But, a picture says a thousand words and a poorly worded sign can ruin a beautiful moment. Add in a poorly dressed sign holder, and it's a recipe for disaster. A grown man in a penguin onesie is already a bit off the wall. But with a shopping list for his parents before they've even cleared customs... that's a bit much!
Ever walked past one of those shoeshine stands and wondered who on earth still gets their shoes shined? Well, if you have, here's your answer. Two 'arrivals' for the Comic-Con convention needed to be buffed up and polished before they left the airport to go to the venue. I'm surprised they didn't ask to have their joints oiled as well. I wonder if the price list includes a full body wax and shine! It would be a shame if they paid the same price as everyone else!

With no context, this story looks like something out of a dystopian future TV series. With technology no longer working, humans are forced to pull the airplanes to get them to work. And worse still, only little people are used for the purpose. It's like some sick, twisted slavery. However, reality might set your mind at ease. It was being filmed for TV, but for Man Vs. Beast. The idea was to see who could pull an airplane faster: 44 little people or 1 elephant.

The Danes are not ones to fool around when it comes to time limits. The pick-up and drop-off zone at the airport is patrolled, and fines are issued to transgressors. It became apparent that the zone was being clogged up by couples who were struggling to say their final goodbyes. And so, the innovative, considerate Danes made a particular area where couples are given extra time to give each other the last kiss. But only for 3 minutes... after that, all bets are off!

Next Issue : A Variety of their Iconic Art & Photographs

281 Front St. 305-295-6616

Works of American Photographer Walker Evans on display at Custom House Museum   
 
A selection of prints captured by Walker Evans, an  American photographer recognized for pioneering a documentary style of photography during the Great Depression on behalf of the Farm Security Administration, is currently on exhibit in the foyer at the Custom House Museum.  " 3 Weeks in Cuba: Walker Evans & Ernest Hemingway" features 12 of Evans' 46 images taken while on assignment in Cuba, and reveal a visual account of Havana in 1933.
 
Considered one of the greatest photographers of his time, Evans' straightforward precision in his approach to portraiture and documentary redefined the genre. A literary thinker, most of his images were shot for books, magazines, articles, and essays. Some of the prints in the Custom House exhibit were included in the book "The Crime of Cuba," published in several magazines, and featured in other gallery exhibitions.  They form part of the larger collection of 46 on loan by Key West local Benjamin 'Dink' Bruce, whose family were longtime friends of the Hemingways.
 
Evans, who was on assignment in Cuba for "The Crime of Cuba," an expose of the corrupt regime of President Gerardo Machado, feared the images could be confiscated by Machado operatives. Evans entrusted the 46 images to Hemingway, who was also in Cuba gathering material for his novel "To Have and Have Not." The two had met purely by coincidence, spending many afternoons and evenings together, forming an ephemeral friendship.  Hemingway even loaned Evans money to extend his stay in Cuba when his assignment money ran out.  
 
The images capture a range of micro and macro information and reveal the context of Havana's 1933 culture, doing with images what a writer might do in words.  Beggars, children, café patrons, fruit cart vendors- the images relay "Cuba's people, its ethnic diversity, its shops, professions, the look and feel of its street and urban life," says Society Curator Cori Convertito, PhD. 
"Life for Cubans in the 1930s was tumultuous," she says. "Their political system was in the midst of an upheaval, but for visitors, it was an entirely different experience.  Havana was a flourishing and fashionable city which attracted many literary and musical greats, along with some of Europe's most distinguished luminaries and personalities.  The dichotomy of the poor residents alongside the well-heeled visitors shaped both Evans' and Hemingway's experience in Cuba in 1933."  
Though Hemingway and Evans never corresponded nor met again, those weeks in Havana had a lasting effect on each of them, and over the years, they commented on their friendship and time together.  
" 3 Weeks in Cuba: Walker Evans & Ernest Hemingway"  is on display in the Custom House Museum Foyer from July 5, 2018 - October 10, 2018.  For more information, call Cori Convertito, Ph.D., at 305-295-6616 x 112 or visit kwahs.org.  Your Museums.  Your Community.  It Takes an Island.

We Continue with Photos from the 60's and 70's

Eric Clapton, Sting and Jeff Beck were all part of the band line up for the Secret Policeman's Other Ball of September 10, 1981. Essentially it was the who's who of early 1980s British comedy and combined with music celebrities. Actor John Cleese directed this eclectic group of performers for a benefit for the English wing of Amnesty International. The show included comedy skits by Peter Cook, Rowan Atkinson, and the members of Monty Python. Other participants were Phil Collins, Donovan and Bob Geldof among others.

Barbara Eden was all charm in "I Dream of Jeannie."  Astronaut Captain Tony Nelson discovered a mysterious bottle while on a mission and upon opening it, he released Jeannie (the Genie). The bubbly, scantily dressed woman of legend seems thrilled to serve Captain Nelson and quickly takes to calling him 'master'.
Despite the sexual tension, Captain Nelson managed to keep things chaste with Jeannie for the first four seasons but by 1969, the sexual revolution made its way to "I Dream of Jeannie", and it was time for its two stars to get together. Jeannie and Nelson got married during the 1969-1970 season, which ended up being the last.

Tina Turner was one of the early trailblazers for black female entertainers. 
Interestingly enough, Turner also got into Buddhism back in the 1970s, she found peace in the rituals of chanting and still adheres to the teachings of The Soka Gakkai International, (the largest Buddhist organization) today. 
According to Turner, "The experience of singing prayers together allows us to deeply connect on an emotional level, a place of love and respect where worldly Differences fade."
 

Pictured here are actors Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader co-starring in this 1985 cult classic "Tuff Turf". This was the first time the pair worked together and oddly enough there was prophetic graffiti placed in the film, reading: the new avengers.
Spader plays teenager Morgan Hiller who is forced to move from Connecticut to Los Angeles after his father's company goes under. In typical '80s teen-flick fashion, Morgan struggles to make friends, bonds with an intelligent but unaffected sidekick (Robert Downey Jr.), and ends up falling for the local gang leader's girl which of course, has its consequences.

Part 2 AIRPORT PHOTOS

This is a unique welcome home that got the parties a good deal of attention. It was timed with the release of one of the Star Wars movies, The Last Jedi. The visitor dressed up as Darth Vader. His friends who were there to welcome him home dressed as storm troopers. They played the Imperial March music as their friend approached. He made the most of his 5 minutes of fame.  Strangely, no Jedi knights were waiting with their light sabers to take him down.

If you're expecting tight security, the airport is the place to be. So many terror attacks have been launched from airports. Security measures add to the stress and time taken to check in and clear out of the airport. But we all put up with it because we know it's being done to protect us. Have you ever wondered what security personnel is looking at on the screen when you pass by? Apparently, it's a riveting game of solitaire. Guess who's claiming unemployment?

These days, we have to avoid buying single-use items. They take up too much space, and they aren't worth the investment. Anything that has more than one function is an attractive proposition. These genius parents realized that their luggage could double up like a stroller for a sleeping child! Not only did they finally have their first moment's peace, but it was one less thing with wheels to control. And after the crying, I'm sure no one in the airport was complaining either!
This airport in Gibraltar keeps some airlines in business with the amount of liquor you need to drink to survive it. Gibraltar is very small, and so the architects had to be creative when they designed the airport. In the end, their runway was not long enough. Thus, it was determined that planes would have to cross the road to get to the rest of the runway on the other side. And how do you know if it's safe to cross? A traffic light, obviously!

Security measures at airports are more rigorous than ever. You can be requested by security to remove your shoes so that they can check them. That's why you should always check your socks for holes when flying. This poor mom was stopped for a shoe check. As she was eager to comply, she found somewhere to put her baby down while she took off her shoes. And I'm sure riding in a container on the hand luggage conveyor belt was the highlight of that baby's day!

We're delighted to welcome Stephen Kitsakos as the President of the Board. Kitsakos takes the reins from Mary Jean Connors, who's led The Studios with spectacular success for the past two years. Connors will stay on the Executive Committee, as "Immediate Past President," serving at Kitsakos' side and continuing to lend her energy and experience to the organization. We're equally excited to announce that Rosi Ware, who served as Board Chair from 2008-15, has rejoined the board and will serve on the Executive Committee.

Part 2 "Animal Buddies"

Kate the Great Dane and Pippin the deer: When Kate came across abandoned baby deer Pippin, the loving canine adopted her! As Pippin matured, she eventually moved back into the forest, but she still visits Kate and Kate's owner, Isobel.


Moses the crow and Cassie the cat: In 1999, a Massachusetts couple adopted Cassie, an infant kitten they found abandoned on their property. Amazingly, they also discovered a crow, who they nicknamed Moses, who had been feeding and caring for the kitten. Even after Cassie was rescued, she spent her days outside, playing with Moses!

 Koko the gorilla and Ms. Gray the kitten: Gorillas have actually been known to adopt cats, and the famous, beloved gorilla Koko was no different. She fell in love with a kitten named Ms. Gray as soon as she saw her. Can't you just see the love in their eyes?

 Bonedigger the lion and Milo the dog: It might seem like this lion would be the one who took little Milo the dachshund under his care, but it was
 actuallythe other way around! Bonedigger was disabled due to a metabolic bone disease, so Milo would keep him company and bathe him.

Tarantulas and microhylid frogs: Although tarantulas can be vicious killers, they don't hurt tiny microhylid frogs. Instead, they keep them around as "pets" because the frogs help protect the spiders' eggs from ants. Scientists suspect the toxins in the frogs' skin makes them taste bad, so the spiders use them to their advantage instead of consuming them.

(Top-Left) Key West Police Chief Donie Lee has named Officer Gustavo Medina Officer of the First Half of 2018 and Rodney Maxime Civilian Employee of the First Half of 2018. 
 
Officer Medina joined the Key West Police Department in August, 2011. After initially serving on road patrol, he currently serves as a Quality of Life officer. 
 
"Officer Medina is professional and compassionate in dealing with each crisis intervention," said Chief Lee. "Throughout his tenure, Officer Medina exemplifies the core values of the Department: Respect, Integrity, Fairness and Service. He serves with enthusiasm, meeting every encounter with courtesy and respect. He reflects the highest standards of the Key West Police Department and is an asset to our community."
 
(Top-Right)Dispatcher Rodney Maxime has been active with the Department long before he was officially hired, having served as an Explorer while attending Key West High School. Maxime came on board in December, and already he has shown his dedication to his work and to his community through his volunteer efforts and willingness to step up when needed. 
"Rodney is a valuable asset to our Department," said Chief Lee." His ability to provide translation is an important link to those in our community who speak only Creole."

We Continue with More "60's & 70's Photos"
Pictured here is former "Charlie's Angels" star Farrah Fawcett, posed on a skateboard back in 1976 for an episode of the hit detective series.
Farrah Fawcett was one of the most successful actresses of her time. Strutting through the 1970s as one of Charlie's Angels not only cemented her sex-icon status in Hollywood history, but it also earned her four Emmys and six Golden Globe Awards nominations. In addition to every woman in the U.S. begging stylists for "Farrah hair," it seems every man in the country was pretty obsessed with her too. And her iconic swimsuit poster became the best-selling pin-up poster in history!
Eric Clapton, Sting and Jeff Beck were all part of the band line up for the Secret Policeman's Other Ball of September 10, 1981. Essentially it was the who's who of early 1980s British comedy and combined with music celebrities. Actor John Cleese directed this eclectic group of performers for a benefit for the English wing of Amnesty International. The show included comedy skits by Peter Cook, Rowan Atkinson, and the members of Monty Python. Other participants were Phil Collins, Donovan and Bob Geldof among others.

Pictured here is Joyce Dewitt playing on behalf of ABC in Battle of the Network Stars back in 1978. The series aired on ABC but featured teams of TV stars from all three major networks competing against each other in sporting events. ABC, CBS, and NBC would gather their teams, choose a team leader and let the games commence. 
Regular occurring events included swimming, kayaking, volleyball, golf, tennis, outdoor bowling, cycling, running, and 3-on-3 football There was also the baseball dunk, the obstacle course and a game of "Simon Says". 
Alongside Dewitt in the 1978 event was the ABC team captain Gabe Kaplan, Robin Williams, Debby Boone, Billy Crystal, Richard Hatch, Maren Jensen, and Robert Urich.
Back in the 1970s, Miss World America Lynda Carter scored the role of Wonder Woman and became the first mainstream female superhero. Carter quickly became a household name and soon skyrocketed to pop icon status.
She proved to the public that women could be both tough and sexy, at a time where women were still largely considered 'delicate' in nature. She rocked her own obvious sex appeal combined with her character's incredible strength and abilities at the same time. Even after her Wonder Woman days were over, she hardly retired her superhero cape. Lynda continued her battle for justice off screen as an advocate for LGBT rights and eventually she also joined efforts in finding the cure for cancer.

The 
2018 Key West Film Festival (KWFF)  will roll out the red carpet for you, literally, 
99 days from today  on 
Opening Night, November 14th.   Our team has been busy throughout the year curating another best-in-class festival experience - venues, films, themes, Hollywood talent, film critics, and more.  As we celebrate our eighth year, we strive to make it another memorable one for Key West visitors and locals alike.  Whether you are a film fanatic, a movie buff, a fan of the arts, or just someone who enjoys being entertained by the big screen, there is something for everyone.  

Before we dive into what's ahead in November, let's take a look back on all that's happened since the closing night reception and 2017 KWFF Awards.  In January we all watched with high anticipation as KWFF Film Selections and Award Winners headed to the first major awards of the year: the 75th Annual Golden Globes.  
CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, THE SHAPE OF WATER, LEISURE SEEKER,  and 
I, TONYA  were all nominated films. The creativity and storytelling of 
Guillermo del Toro  was recognized with his Best Director - Motion Picture win for
 THE SHAPE OF WATER , the 2017 KWFF Opening Night Spotlight Screening! Best Original Score also went to 
THE SHAPE OF WATER  and 
Alexandre Desplat.  The applause continued for 
Allison Janney  who took home the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for her portrayal of an overbearing mother in 
I, TONYA.

Are you a glue-gun guru and artist with a knack for fashion?  Submit your titillating, one-of-a-kind decorated bras to Womankind to "support" their upcoming signature BraZaar fundraiser, presented by Last Key Realty. The official Fantasy Fest event is set for Monday, October 22 from 7pm-10pm at Key West Theatre, featuring a  pre-auction welcome with sweet treats and libations, a high-energy, fast-moving live auction with models hired by Womankind, and a Rack Sale of old and new artist-made bra designs. The event uplifts with a 1970s game-show motif, complete with a hilarious show host, unsuspecting participants, and spectacular and hilarious prizes. Event proceeds benefit the  nonprofit medical center that offers affordable healthcare to Keys women, and the people who love them.
 
Artists' designs will be blind juried, with accepted submissions entered in the live auction or the evening's opening and closing Rack Sale. Artists whose designs are selected for the live auction will receive free entry to the event to watch their bra be modeled down the 16-foot runway complete with overhanging glittery disco ball. The bra with the highest live auction bid and the audience favorite (chosen through "voting dollars") will win fabulous "Breast in Show" award packages. 
 
"The stunning creativity of the BraZaar artists makes this event successful each year," says Executive Director Cali Roberts. "Breast health is a very serious issue, but once a year we use this light-hearted approach to fund Womankind services."
 
Since its inception in 2007, artists' participation has helped the event net over $87,000, a huge boon to the breast health programs Womankind offers. 
 
"Beneath the weightiness of healthcare, Womankind remains a grassroots organization where locals help each other get quality preventative care," says Roberts. "At BraZaar, we celebrate that spirit."
 
Deadline for submissions is Friday, October 12 th. Download your application now at  WomankindKeyWest.com, get started on your design, and know that your participation helps raise awareness of breast health while raising money to help Womankind advance its mission to provide breast cancer screenings and exams to local women.
 
Tickets are $30 for general admission and $50 for preferred seating and can be purchased at  thekeywesttheater.com starting September 1.  For more information about entry submission, or for businesses who wish to sponsor an artist's bra, contact Cricket Desmarais at  cdesmarais@Womankindkeywest.org or call Womankind at 305-294-4004.

MCEF Chair Bryan Green, TSIC student DeShawn Fisher, Superintendent Mark Porter, School Board Member Andy Griffiths, and TSIC mentor Nicole Rapanos.

Take Stock in Children scholarship applications for the 2018-19 school year are now available in Monroe County middle and high schools. Students in grades 7 - 10 who meet the income and academic guidelines should apply for this unique college scholarship & career readiness opportunity.
"This is an outstanding program that offers much more than a college scholarship to eligible candidates. Our students meet once a week for 45 minutes during the school year with their volunteer mentor, they participate in college and career readiness workshops, and receive assistance from their college success coach while in middle and high school," explains TSIC program coordinator Chuck Licis.
 
Eligible TSIC students sign a contract promising to earn As, Bs, and Cs each grading period, maintain good attendance and behavior, attend college/career readiness workshops, meet weekly with their mentor, and remain crime and drug free. Upon successful completion of the Take Stock in Children program, high school graduates receive access to a 4-year college scholarship which may be used at any Florida public college or university.
 
"Whether their goal is to earn an associate's or bachelor's degree, or an industry certificate," Licis said, "our team of TSIC success coaches and mentors along with their teachers and parents help guide and motivate the TSIC scholars towards their dream of attending the Florida college, university, or technical college or their choice."
 
For more information, visit  www.monroecountyedfound.com and select the Take Stock in Children tab. You may also contact Chuck Licis at 305-293-1546 or by email at Chuck.Licis@keysschools.com to request an application.
 
TSIC scholarship applications for the current year are due Friday, September 21, 2018. Return completed applications to the front office of each middle or high school or mail to Chuck Licis, Take Stock in Children, 241 Trumbo Road, Key West, FL 33040.

With the acquisition of a 2.12-acre Key Largo property, Florida Keys Community College made an historic step in its goal to expand services to the residents and industries in northern Monroe County.  The College closed on the purchase of the property  on Tuesday and now owns the long-sought site of the future FKCC Upper Keys Center.
Many know the property as the northern "Shell World" location at Mile Marker 106.4 on the Overseas Highway, which greeted visitors entering the Keys for many years.  This highly-visible new location replaces the College's increasingly limited space held at Coral Shores High School and will allow the College to double its capacity to serve more than 300 students annually.
In the spirit of supporting higher education and workforce training in the Keys, the sellers, the Waterman family, reduced the $3 million price tag by $500,000.  The College will honor their generosity in the new facility.  "This is just the first step in a process that began too long ago for many to remember.  Nonetheless, it is a very important step as we acquire the title to this property that will become the higher education location for the Upper Keys," said Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, FKCC President. 
L to R: Stephanie Scuderi, FKCC Board of Trustees Chair; Jean Mauk, FKCC Vice President of Finance and Administration; Dr. Jonathan Gueverra, President; James Waterman, property seller.
"Residents in this area have been starved for a quality facility for far too long.  Working with everyone in our community, this Center will soon be a reality. The College will offer the much-needed programs to support the local economy while increasing access for local residents and keeping tuition at affordable rates."  The College plans to expand four existing programs in the Upper Keys: nursing, emergency medical technician, marine environmental technology, and public safety (law enforcement and corrections academies).  In addition, the College plans to develop new programs at the facility including: marine resource management, paramedic, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, and construction technologies.
FKCC is exploring a variety of opportunities-public and private-to secure the estimated $20 million needed to construct the new facility.  Those interested in making a financial contribution to support FKCC's new Upper Keys Center are asked to contact Dr. Frank Wood, Vice President of Advancement and Executive Director of the FKCC Foundation, at 305-809-3287 or  frank.wood@fkcc.edu .

Editor's Note : This was sent over a few weeks ago. During our Recent Summer Hiatus I Published a few Less Issues; so this was the first time I had a Chance to Insert this..
More than 3,000 students will be returning to schools in the Key West area next Wednesday. Sadly, the Key West Police Department is adding a vital message to the reminders surrounding back to school: If you see something, say something. Law enforcement and the school district are working to ensure that our kids remain safe in these increasingly difficult times. Remind your children to tell a teacher or a school resource officer if they see something that doesn't seem quite right.
 
Some of the things that kids should be alert for are: Bragging about Weapons, Bullying or threatening behavior, The Sudden Withdrawal of an Individual from their normal Social Circles, Talk of Suicide.
 
Whether you have kids in school or not, be ready to adjust your schedule to accommodate the traffic slowdowns that occur when school is in session. Patience is the most important thing that every motorist can bring to the table. It's worth allowing a little more time to get around to be sure that all Key West kids are safe on their way to and from school.  Here are some child safety tips for parents to keep in mind:     If your child is walking to or from school, walk the route with them beforehand. Choose the most direct way, and be sure the route has sufficient sidewalks, lighting and crossing guards. If a crossing guard is absent, be sure your child knows when it is safe to cross the street.    Make sure your child walks to and from school with other trusted schoolmates and follows the tried and true axiom, "Never talk to strangers."          Teach your kids to obey all traffic signals when walking or biking to school.   When biking, be sure your child has a helmet.   When waiting for the school bus always stand on the sidewalk, away from the roadway. Always remain seated while on the bus.      Be sure your child knows a phone number where you can be reached in case of an emergency. Being hit by a car poses the greatest threat to any child walking or riding a bicycle to school. As drivers, it is our responsibility to avoid dangerous distractions behind the wheel. Pay particular attention near crosswalks and areas around schools where children could potentially run into the roadway. Don't text or talk on the phone, it's not worth the risk of a potential tragedy.
 
This is a good time to take a look at your own driving habits and review the rules of the road. Florida law prohibits passing a school bus in either direction when it is stopped with red lights flashing. Drivers must also remember to slow down to the posted speed limit in school zones. The Key West Police Department does not tolerate negligent actions that could harm our community's children. Anyone caught passing a stopped school bus or speeding in a school zone can expect to be stopped and cited accordingly.  
It is up to each one of us to ensure that our school children are safe. Please do your part and be aware as you drive.
