Former Florida Governor and Senator
Bob Graham
Visits Key West’s
Little White House and
San Carlos Institute
Photos by Tom Oosterhoudt
Now 75, Bob Graham
was born in Coral
Gables and graduated
from the University
of Florida. A life long
Democrat, he served
38 consecutive years in
public office and never
lost an election. He
was the 38th Governor
of Florida, serving two
terms, from 1979 to
1987. Graham also
served three terms as
United State Senator
from 1987 to 2005. His
current priority is “The
Bob Graham Center
for Public Service” at
his alma mater, the
University of Florida.
Gov. Graham has
four daughters and 11
grandchildren.
It was 25 years ago when he was
governor, that Bob Graham,
approved the renovation of the San
Carlos in Key West by the group
of Cuban-Americans led by Rafael
Peñalver, who still serves as President
of the San Carlos Institute. This past
weekend, Penalve` was proud to give
the former governor his first tour of
the historic Cuban landmark since
the renovation was completed.

many more decades.
just last year.
205 Whitehead Street
Through special arrangements,
OIRF ticket holders will enjoy a
rare evening tour of the legendary
“Audubon House” and its lush
tropical garden. Harbor master
John H. Geiger constructed
this home for his large family c.
1846, and it was inhabited by his
descendants for over a hundred
years. The museum is resplendent
with period antiques and bird
illustrations created by John James
Audubon. An eponymous Geiger
tree and an extensive orchid
collection grace the grounds.
OIRF’s second tour of this winter
season takes a path through 1912.
During the evening tour, let twilight
casts an illusion of Key West when
the Railroad first arrived.
711 Elizabeth Street
711 Ashe Street
When the railroad came to town,
a cigar maker called this modest
Greek-revival cottage near the top of
Solaris Hill home. The intervening
years were not kind, and the house
was quite dilapidated when new
owners took possession in 2009.
Enter its front door now and fastforward a hundred years into a
modern minimalist masterpiece of
interior design; a living space akin
to a sophisticated New York City loft
apartment.
A pavilion-like cottage, done in a
Caribbean colonial style, is actually
a 1993 addition to this early 20th C.
neighborhood. Back then, several
shotgun houses for local cigar factory
workers stood in the vicinity; before
a fire in 1923 demolished most.
View the freshly-completed
21st century renovation of this
extraordinary Key West residence
– open and airy luxury living on a
small scale.
The tour is scheduled for Friday and
Saturday, January 20 and 21, from
5 to 8 pm. Tickets are $25 and are
available in advance. For credit card
purchase, buy tickets online at www.

Houses may be viewed in any order
and participants who feel pressed

Over the years, a shotgun house
built here in the 1880’s had been
altered so many times, what was
there a hundred years ago is only a

floors date from c. 1960. Its latest
incarnation, as a charming pastel

guest quarters in prime in-town

Tortuga Ballroom at the Doubletree Grand Key Resort by Hilton
The event is FREE to the public. Attendance is limited to adults 21 and over.
For ten years, the Florida Keys have
had the services of the most effective
congressional representative to ever
represent the Keys. Congresswoman
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, better known to
her many friends in the Keys as “Ily”,
has done more to address Keys’ issues
than any congressperson before her.
She has spent more time here than any
other Congressman. Ily has also been
the most accessible for any Federal
problem or issue that concern Keys
residents.
Yes, she has become one of my
closest friends over the years, and she
has made me extremely proud as she
became a champion of gay rights. The
fact is she had nothing to gain in her
leadership for equality for everyone.
She did it because it was “the right
thing to do”.
And as far as helping out the
Florida Keys, Ily has only done it
because she fell in love with the
Florida Keys when we became a part
of her district at the last redistricting
process ten years ago. Each of
Florida’s 27 congressional districts will
be redrawn to hold 696, 345 residents.
The 2010 census put Monroe County
at close to 73,000 residents. These
figures clearly show that the Keys are
only 10 % of Ily’s total electorate. The
bottom line is that our vote has always
been inconsequential in Congressional
elections.
But none the less, our
Congresswoman has fought hard
for every issue that has affected the
Keys over the last ten years. From
issues involving the National Marine
Sanctuary, clean shore water issues,
waste water issues, environmental
issues, offshore drilling, insurance
issues, etc. our congresswoman has
been there for us and has even brought
home huge Federal money for the
Keys. Ily has always been a champion
of the Keys commercial fishermen and
shrimpers.
Furthermore, she has done so much
for the Keys, she has won the hearts of
many die hard Democrats (I was one!)
with her years of selfless and dedicated
service. Speaking from my experience
alone, her staff has helped me assist
countless Keys residents with Visa
issues, green card issues, and social
security issues. They have even helped
me set up folks who visit D.C. with
White House tours. And her office
door in D.C. is always open to Keys
residents.
As I write this there are four
different plans in the State House
that would take the Keys away from
the Congresswoman, even though
she has made it clear that she would
like to keep the Keys in her district.
Unfortunately many of the plans are
mere ploys for some state politicians
to boost their voting inside their
projected future districts.
The State Senate’s redistricting plan
is the only one that makes sense and
follows a logical district line for Ily that
would keep her as the representative
for all the coastal communities from
Miami Beach to Key West, a clean
district delineation that would make
sense for keeping her on top of all the
coastal and water issues that she has
represented so well over the last ten
years. The fact is the fishing industry
sorely needs her knowledgeable
representation.
Imagine if they throw the Keys
to a district that includes Hialeah
and the western farm country of
south Florida? The Keys would be so
forgotten, we would have little if any
congressional representation. Just like
our state senate seat, the Keys will be
a lost cause. When is the last time we
saw our state senator down here, or
anyone from their office? That would
be our future without Ily.
There is no clear answer on how to
let Tallahassee know how we feel, that
we want to keep our congresswoman.
But it might not hurt to call Rep. Will
Weatherford, the chairman of the
redistricting committee at (850)4883928 and let him know how you
feel. Or you can email him and the
committee at mydistrictbuilder@
myfloridahouse.gov
If we make enough noise, the
redistricting committee just might do
the right thing, and let common sense
prevail. Let’s keep Ily!

Special Matinee of Forbidden
Broadway Added January 14!
Red Barn Theatre’s production of
Forbidden Broadway has been such a
hit here in Key West that they have
added a matinee at 2pm on Saturday,
January 14th. The show has been
selling out and playing to rave reviews
since it opened December 13th. “Great
show, enjoyed it so much tonight!
Witty writing and all the performers
are tops,” says theatregoer Bill
Goldner. Theatre critic C.S. Gilbert of
Solaris Hill calls Forbidden Broadway
“a hoot - and an excellent launch for
the tlocal 2011-12 theatrical season.
Anyone with even a passing
familiarity with Broadway classics
will enjoy this production. For those
who love, or even like, the genre,
it’s a must see. The laughter meter
registers at least two Depends.”
Audience member Debby Marten Sola
said the Forbidden Broadway “show
was hilarious. Great performances
by the cast. Great show, my sides
hurt I laughed so hard!” And Tom
Oosterhoudt of Conch Color says: “I
am going to see it twice just to make
sure I caught all the laughs. Get ready
to bust a gut! This is Broadway satire
at its best, like Saturday Night Live,
but live! Forbidden Broadway shows
no mercy, and takes no prisoners.
There has never been a finer or
funnier skewering of the Great White
Way.” The cast of Forbidden
Broadway is made up of fantastic
local performers Eric Cole, J.B.
McLendon, Gayla Morgan and
Marjorie Paul-Shook, who are
audience favorites in Key West. All
performers play multiple roles in
the show, sometimes even in one
number! In Forbidden Broadway,
there are countless musical sketches
and 75 costume changes, all handled
seamlessly by the amazing cast.
Forbidden Broadway runs through
January 14 at the Red Barn Theatre,
located at 319 Duval Street in
Old Town, Key West. For more
information or to purchase tickets,

Be the Change youth plan return of signature program on MLK Day
High school youth who have been a
part of Be the Change of the Florida
Keys (BTC) have been asking for
the return of Challenge Day, the
organization’s signature program for
more than two years. In January they
will get their wish. Alex Castillo,
Senior at Coral Shores High
School attended Challenge Day
as a freshman and ever since has
been an enthusiastic advocate to
bring the event back. Alex says,
“Challenge Day is important to me
because it brings people together,
promotes respect and teaches us
about caring for one another and
the importance of service.”
The first Challenge Day is
scheduled to take place on the
birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.
in honor and celebration of a man
who advocated for unity, equality
and social justice, all components of
the Challenge Day experience.

distribute those toys as Christmas gifts
to needy children in the community in
which the campaign is conducted. KCF
received more than 1,000 toys, athletic
equipment, and games from the Marines.
Kids Come First (KCF) was in full swing
for the recent
holidays. The season
for giving proved
to be a big one this
year, both in need
and in donations
as contributions
from community
organizations
and individuals
were received and
distributed. KCF
was a recipient of
the generosity and
energy of Toys for
Tots, a program
of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves.
Jesus Jara met in December with Capt.
Michael Biggs at the 5th Annual Beards
and Grins for the Boys and Girls to view
the gifts that were distributed to 472
youth, predominantly through Monroe
County schools. Dr. Jara facilitated the
use of a school bus needed to transport
the large amount of toys and gifts
received by KCF.

Bobby Nesbitt Opens His Sixth Remarkable Season of “Bobby In The Lobby”
With Two Sold Out Shows Ending with Two Standing Ovations
Bobby Nesbitt opened his
sixth season of Bobby in the
Lobby with a tribute to Oscar
Hammerstein, a giant of
American song. The evening
reunited former Miss America,
Susan Powell with Danny
Weathers, artistic director of
the Waterfront Playhouse. The
two had worked together 25
years ago in NYC in the musical
“Olympus on My Mind”. The
evening featured beloved songs
that Hammerstein wrote not
only with Richard Rodgers
but also Jerome Kern. Susan
soared in “What’s the Use of
Wondering” and “It Might As
Well Be Spring” and Danny
brought the house down in his
interpretation of “Old Man
River”. The final medley was the
ultimate show tune medley and
brought the cheering crowd to
it’s feet.
And amazing show with three amazing singers, Danny
Weathers, former Miss America Susan Powell, and
series creator, the one and only Bobby Nesbitt. This
was the fifteenth show in the successful “Bobby in
The Lobby” series.

Powell, and Bobby Nesbitt.

Great White Heron Saved from Lion Fish on New Year’s Day
A Great White Heron is found in distress on New
Year’s day with his head on the ground.
The lion fish after being pulled out of the
heron’s throat.
The Great White Heron is released back into the
wild after a successful recovery.
On New Year’s Day, late
in the afternoon, Maya
Totman from Florida
Keys Wildlife Rescue
got a call from Big Pine
Fishing Lodge that they
had a Heron in severe
distress.On our arrival at
the Fishing Lodge we met
with Tom Woosey and his
wife Lois of Fort Myers.
They immediately showed
us where the bird was.
His head was buried in
seagrass, he was covered
with dirt and breathing
heavily. I noticed swelling
and there was something
in his throat. With help
from Tom Woosey’s pliers,
I opened the beak wide,
and Tom pulled out a
Lion Fish. Lois Woosey
got a measuring tape and
when she measured the
Lion Fish it was close to 8”
long. Arriving back at our
facility, Maya looked inside
bird’s mouth and found
two more embedded
pieces of of the Lion Fish’s
spine, which she removed.
Maya made sure that any
and all material was cleared
from the wound. Then she
gave the heron emergency
treatment with a rapid
application of hot water
and liquid soap, a Tetanus
shot, pain medication, and
antibiotics. They lubricated
the birds eyes and also
used eye ointment.
Because Lion Fish spines
are poisonous, the heron
had breathing difficulties
and semi paralysis. Maya
was not sure if the bird
was going to make it. Day
after day, and night, after
night they kept checking
to make sure that the bird
was still alive. He started to
recovering in late afternoon
on Wednesday. Thursday,
January 5, he stood up
and began to walk around.
On Friday he ate on his
own for the first time and
then he started to try to
fly. They released him on
Saturday at 3:00 pm on
Little Torch state road 4 A.
Maya wants to thank all of
their volunteers for being
there and to give a special
thanks to Tom and Lois
Woosey for finding the
heron and calling Florida
Keys Wildlife Rescue. They
also want to thank Big Pine
Shipping for the donation
of a special carton carrier
that was put together for
him. When they opened
the box it was miraculous
-- he was flying back to
freedom over the skies of
the Florida Keys.
Tom Woosey and Maya Totman discovered that the Great White Heron had
tried to swallow a poisonous 8 inch long lion fish. He helped hold the beak
open while she managed to extract the lion fish from its throat.
The lion fish measured 8 inches.

Annie Dillard Featured
Exhibit at Gallery on
Greene
After a stellar career in literature,
Pulitzer Prize recipient Annie
Dillard has focused her creative
talents on the visual arts. She
presenedt a Vernisage of her
artwork this past Saturday, January
7, at The Gallery on Greene, 606
Greene St.in Key West.
“Pulitzer Prize-winning poet,
novelist, and memoirist Annie
Dillard − best known for ‘Pilgrim
at Tinker Creek,’ ‘Holy the Firm,’
and ‘Teaching a Stone to Talk’ − is
also a talented and prolific painter,”
writes Wall Street Journal art critic
Ann Landi in the magazine Art
News. “Largely self-taught, Dillard
generally works in oil and gouache
and always on a small scale, her
canvases rarely more than 16 inches
to a side. A self-portrait made when
she was in her early thirties shows
her wielding a brush and looking
rather morose about it, but other
works in the show, including some
landscapes, reveal an ebullience and
a sure sense of color and line.”
Dillard is known for her
keen observations of nature, and
many of her works are dedicated
to the land and sea that surround
her at her seasonal abodes. Her
homes in Key West, Cape Codand
Virginia, as well as places she
visits, are subjects of her artistry.
Dillard’s landscapes depict, at times,
an oriental stylization, perhaps
influenced by her visit to Chinaas
a U.S. Cultural Delegate in 1982.
Works such as “TibetanVillage” and
“Cape Cod Scene” use geometric
forms evolving into the abstract.
Of late Dillard has painted
portraits of strong personalities
such as Stanley McChrystal, a Sierra
Leoneorphan, and Thelonius Monk.
Her portrait of Monk depicts a solid,
somber Monk in sienna and black on
an olive background.
According to Ann Landi,
“Dillard’s voice, here, as in her
writing, is very much her own:
assured, perceptive and sometimes
dazzling.”
In conjunction with the 2012 Key
West Literary Seminar, Dillard met
art aficionados at The Gallery on
Greene. For more information please
call the gallery at 305-294-1669

Astrologically
Yours
#Z4ZMWJB#PHBSUt
Aries: Don’t waste your time on limited vision, talk
to an authority figure about the action you need to
take to make your dream a reality. Sometimes one
small piece of the puzzle is all you need to make
the whole picture complete this can allow you to
let go of past obligations seeing them for what they
were and moving into the future with confidence
and support.
Taurus: Why must you insist on doing everything
the hard way? Don’t you think you have paid your
dues in that area and even if you don’t think about
this, the people around you need your direction
and you are mucking up the whole operation by
trying to always fix everything just do what you do
best so that everyone else can too. This is where
you are now so adjust.
Gemini: Talk’s cheap haven’t you heard? Those
people who are giving you a spill of goods tell them
to invest their money where their mouth is so you
can produce and do the work that they say they
love. If they take offense don’t worry about it their
places will soon be filled with real investors who
really do love what you do and you will have time
and space to create.
Cancer: As usual you are caught up in somebody
else’s war and low and behold you don’t have all
of the facts imagine that. When are you going to
get this lesson and start accepting facts as facts and
what you see is really what is happening. This is in
the area of legalities the right to work health issues
all of a personal nature. You can’t help someone if
they lie to you.
Leo: Sometimes it is not to your best interest to
engage verbally or meet one on one especially if
you are not detached enough to see clearly and
accept without censor the situation for exactly
what it is. You may need to surrender (I know
you hate that word) to the fact that you must
delegate authority to someone else so you can
concentrate on the real issues at hand expansion
and organization.
Virgo: You had a dream, you did the research, your
intention was clear, you directed the action, then
began the work. Did you think it would be easy?
Yes, I know it all looks good on paper and in the
Ideal then you bring your brain children out into
the world and all of a sudden it all gets messy,
Honey that is life. Hire good people forget about
throwing in the towel for whatever reason if you
do you will regret it take responsibility for what is
yours.
Libra: The best thing you can do right now is to
decide exactly what you are responsible for and
what is not to your best interest. You have been
procrastinating again thinking that someone else
would have your best interest at heart and take care
of the details. Is it any wonder that chaos has set
in and nothing is as it seems? Time to decide what
you really want and do something constructive to
get it waiting is over stop fluffing it.
Scorpio: Time you got serious about what you want
to do and made a commitment of some kind. It is
a good time for negotiations about property, said I
do or I don’t and got on with it sign on the dotted
line cut your losses settle all bets and got to
work on your very important personal projects
leaving the past pettiness behind along with the
people who were the source of it. New people
are on their way and it is time you secured your
base.
Sagittarius: Making decisions about what to do
with a windfall of cash or the success of a hard
earned project should not be hard to do as long
as you keep this in mind don’t gamble if you
can’t afford to lose it. Don’t loan it out if there is
no guarantee of a good return. Have some fun
with it and do some of those things you said
you would if it ever happened. Find a middle
ground between expanding and holding on
compromise play some and save a little.
Capricorn: Isn’t it wonderful to plan things?
Especially when they have a good firm base and
you are in control. Ideas that you had earlier
last year but were put on the back burner for
what ever reason move forward and you can
feel all kinds of wonderful feelings and financial
returns. After all of the hard knocks of last year
that you stoically moved through with only
determination and will I think it is about time
you were rewarded don’t you?
Aquarius: Funny how things work out, endings,
beginnings, saying goodbye to the past and hello
to the future is never an easy enterprise but it
is necessary for growth to happen this is such
a time. In your area of jointly held assets there
can seem to be a never ending stream of hidden
problems coming out of the closet for you to
deal with try not to make promises if you do
not know for sure that you can keep them it
may not be your call to do so.
Pisces: Sometimes it is easier just to let go and
let someone else deal with all the details for
a change. This would seem to be such a time.
There is all the things you have set up that
seem to be doing well and the only fly in the
ointment can be that your partners are not
getting what they thought they were and what
they did get they are having to earn. Don’t
worry about it allow yourself to simply feel the
love around you enjoy your friends relax.
The theme for this week is focus, intention,
direction, action& manifestation into
the physical world planting the seeds for
successfully accomplishing your goals that were
only a dream before you decided to make them
reality. I hope you find some guidance here for
your particular question.
