Pictured here is Gotham's protector Batman, portrayed by Adam West in the TV series.  By day he is billionaire Bruce Wayne and by night he works tirelessly to protect the inhabitants of his city. Right next to him is his trusty sidekick, Robin who was played by Burt Ward.  Onscreen the Dynamic Duo worked together, thwarting arch-nemeses and saving the city with ease on screen. However, off-screen was an entirely different story, it seemed to be a battle of the male ego. Ward felt like a sidekick in real life, he felt he was underpaid and not treated equally to his co-star Adam West. He also felt the rest of the cast was awarded more luxuries than he was.  The ongoing feud between West and Ward garnered a lot of attention, Ward even b ashed  West in his autobiography: "Boy Wonder: My Life in Tights."

Key West Art & Historical Society Education Director Adele Williams To Pass Torch
Photo by Carol Tedesco

After three years of upward momentum, Key West Art & Historical Society's Education Director Adele Williams will step down from her position at the end of this month. With more than two decades of experience as an educator in a multitude of environments and a vision of enhancing the Society's community involvement around its various programs that educate and entertain visitors and locals about Key West's art, architecture, and history, Williams brought a vital initiative to the Society.  

 "Over the last 3 years, we've reached 22k people through educational programs-Parent & Me programs, the Distinguished Speaker Series, collaboration with National Parks Service to bring photography workshops to the Dry Tortugas, tours to Cuba, STEM programs in relation to Flagler's bridges, Civil War Days outreach in the schools with the State Park Service, and educational outreach based on outsider artist Stanley Papio and Mario Sanchez- to name a few," she says. "My ultimate goal was to reach all levels of the co
mmunity- toddlers through adults- which I think we've effectively done." DUE THE LENGTH OF THIS ARTICLE ; THE REST WILL APPEAR AT THE VERY END OF THIS ISSUE.
EDITOR'S NOTE :  Thank You Adele for the Awesome KWAHS Interface and Friendship. I will miss you ; However Just like the Excellent Team at TSKW ; you leave behind a Remarkable Team to Carry On. You and Shawn Have a Wonderful Journey and Thanks for Making the Last 3 Years so Enjoyable.  Next Week we'll have a Feature on the New Director of Education Kristy Callaway.

By the time the 70's were in full swing the California skate scene was not only making its way across the country, but it was welcoming female skateboarders into the fold. Female skaters happily joined up with the infamous Z-Boys, aerial skateboarding pioneers. Once the ladies started shredding in the streets with the guys, the way women were viewed in sporting circles changed completely.  And while you'd think the novelty of it all would ensure attention, skater chicks got far less coverage in the media than their male counterparts and they weren't able to secure as much pay or sponsorships either. PINTEREST
Pictured here is a fresh-faced Diana before she had the title of "Princess" or became the mother of royal heirs Princes William and Harry. Here she is in 1975, the girl who became one of the most famous and beloved women in the world before her untimely death in 1997.  Diana secured her place in the hearts of many and will always be known as the "People's Princess."  What started like a Disney fairy tale, with nearly a billion television viewers across the world watching Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, marry an English school teacher, the Lady Diana Spencer, ended up taking a more Brother's Grimm turn in the end PINTEREST
Robin Williams won many awards over the span of his brilliant career, but it's probably safe to say nothing will ever feel quite as good for any actor as that very first win. His face says it all in this picture here, taken at the 1979 Golden Globes. Williams had just won the Golden Globe for lead comedy actor for "Mork and Mindy."  This legendary role launched his entire career and propelled him towards his future greatness.  Right from the start, Williams was primarily known for his comedic bits and his demeanor was said to be usually quite in sync with his on-stage persona. But it seems Williams had long suffered from depression and eventually dementia which resulted in his death by suicide in 2014. REDDIT
Here she is back in the 1970s, Miss World America Lynda Carter who scored the role of a lifetime as Wonder Woman.  From 1975 to 1979 Carter was the first mainstream female superhero and quickly became a household name. She rocked her own sex appeal with her character's strength and  shot all the way to pop icon status.  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. Today she's still the same strong, beautiful, actress and philanthropist that she was back in the groovy era. REDDIT
Pictured here is the beautiful and talented Susanna Lee Hoffs, vocalist, guitarist and co-founder of The Bangles. The Bangles released their first full album titled All Over the Place in 1984 and they saw moderate success. It wasn't until 1986 with the release of album Different Light that they reached new heights. It included the hit singles "Manic Monday", "If She Knew What She Wants", and "Walk Like an Egyptian".  Hoffs also co-wrote "I Need a Disguise" for The Go-Gos Belinda Carlisle. Before she knew it, Hoffs was appearing all over magazine covers, acting, writing, and was perfectly positioned to launch a solo career by the time The Bangles disbanded in 1988. REDDIT

Key West Theater, Key West United Methodist Church, Tropic Cinema, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and The Studios of Key West unite to produce the second annual holiday tradition: the "Eaton Street Christmas Stroll" on December 9th. During this festive holiday evening, each venue will host a short Christmas-themed performance with optional caroling as you walk from performance to performance. The festivities begin at 4pm at St Paul's with St. Paul's Episcopal Church and the Keys Choral Arts presenting more than 60 singers performing a variety of old Christmas Carols in new musical settings including "Silent Night," "In the Bleak Midwinter," "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and Irving Berlin's "White Christmas." Audience members will then receive a map to other venues and choose their next performance option.

The next performances are festival-style with the Tropic Cinema showing "A Charlie Brown Christmas" beginning at 5:15pm and lasting throughout the evening. Also at 5:15pm and again at 6:45pm, the Key West Theater presents the lively "Larry Smith & Friends in Concert" while The Studios of Key West presents the Key West High School Drama Club performing their original evening of Christmas-themed songs, stories, and sketches including "'Twas The Night Before Christmas." In addition, The Studios of Key West's annual members' show will be on view with opportunities for all to buy reasonably-priced local art. At 6pm, Old Stone Methodist Church presents their one-time-only performance of the Key West United Methodist Choir singing the profoundly-moving cantata "Once Upon a Night" by Pepper Choplin.

The Eaton Street Christmas Stroll begins at St. Paul's Episcopal Church at the corner of Duval and Eaton Streets at 4pm on December 9th. Performances at each venue will be about 25 minutes in length. Tickets to the entire evening are just $25 and can be purchased at  tropiccinema.com  or by calling (305) 396-4944.

Pictured here is a young Madonna, long before her days of pop music fame. At the time this photo was taken, 1974, Madonna was in her sophomore year at Adams High School in Rochester, Michigan. According to friends from this time of her life, the future pop icon wasn't overly charismatic and most were shocked that she made it so big. She was described as athletic, aloof, and well-read.  According to former boyfriend Wyn Cooper, "she was a little bit aloof. She took herself more seriously than most of us did at that age. REDDIT


Despite her seemingly outgoing nature as a woman, Marilyn Monroe was very shy as a child and still suffered from bouts of shyness and insecurity as an adult. She was so shy that she developed a stutter, she never fully got rid of it but was able to mask it thanks to the dictation lessons by the studio vocal coaches. According to Marilyn, her Aunt Ana was the first person she ever truly felt loved by, in fact, Ana was the first person to encourage Marilyn to become an actress.  After Aunt Ana died in 1948, Marilyn's husband at the time, Joe DiMaggio, made arrangements to ensure Marilyn would be buried in the same cemetery when she passed away.

"Look Upwards to the Sky"
As we prepare for our final push to burst through the roof - and build our long-awaited roof terrace here at The Studios - we find ourselves looking upward quite a bit lately. Whether it's the endless blue of an ocean-colored tropical sky, the stars overhead as you bicycle home at night, or a spontaneous rainbow after a mid-afternoon shower, we invite artists to consider the simple act of looking up as metaphor for a future filled with creative possibility.

**Please note: there is no need to submit an intent to exhibit for this show. However, due to the holidays, drop off and pick up dates are firm.**

More of  Part 15 Groovy History's "A Look Back at the 60's & 70's Through Photographs"

Actor and comedian Chris Farley was widely known for his energetic and rather 'loud' comedic style. Like many before him, his popularity began to soar after becoming a cast member of the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. He flourished on SNL from 1990 to 1995. Farley made the shift and began focusing more on his film acting career. Tommy Boy and Black Sheep.  He also appeared in the films Wayne's World, Coneheads, Airheads, and was uncredited in Billy Madison. Tragically, Farley died just as he was really getting the ball rolling in his career. He was only 33-years old when he died of a drug overdose in 1997.
Christopher Walken has appeared in more than 100 classic films and hit television shows. Just a few of the titles under his belt are, Annie Hall (1977), The Deer Hunter (1978), The Dead Zone (1983), Batman Returns (1992), True Romance (1993), Pulp Fiction (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Catch Me If You Can. Walken also starred in an episode of Kojak
Unfortunately, the award-winning actor will also always be remembered in connection with the tragic Natalie Wood drowning. Walken was on the Yacht with Wood and her husband Robert Wagner. While police never suspected Walken of any wrongdoing, it's common knowledge that his lighthearted flirtation with Wood led to a fight between him and Wagner the night Natalie wandered off on that yacht and was never seen alive again.

Alice was a sitcom that aired on CBS from August 31, 1976, to March 19, 1985, and was based on the 1974 film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.  The show stars Linda Lavin in the title role, who plays a widow with a son trying to start their lives over again. She gets a job at a roadside diner in Arizona, the infamous Mel's Diner, where most of the episodes are centered around. The show was famous for catchphrases such as Flo's "Kiss my grits!" and Mel  would always snipe, "Stow it!" or  "Bag it, Blondie!" 
Janis gave fused her rock with the Blues, giving it more depth. Janis was also widely regarded for her 'electric' stage presence and though she died at just 27-years old, she remains one of the top-selling musicians in the United States. In 1995, she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Despite having only released three albums before her untimely death, Janis Joplin is arguably one of the most prominent female rock stars of all time and certainly the biggest of her era. She was found dead of a heroin overdose in bed. Described as having "a devastatingly original voice" and a presence that was both "overpowering and deeply vulnerable", news of her death shook the music world which was still processing the loss of Jimi Hendrix sixteen days earlier.
Pictured here is Debbie Harry, better known as "Blondie," back in the 1970s. The iconic Punk new wave singer is also considered the first female rapper to chart at number one in the United States because of her work on "Rapture". She's also had over 60 film roles and numerous television appearances.
The group was founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein but also comprised of members Clem Burke, Gary Valentine, and Jimmy Destri. They were pioneers of the punk scene but were noted for their eclectic mix of musical styles. They incorporated elements of disco, pop, and reggae. For this, they are credited with introducing mainstream American listeners to alternative elements of Rock and Roll in the late 1970's. Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide, is still active, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

SALT ISLAND PROVISION GALLERY 830 Fleming Street    305-517-6088 WWW.SALTISLANDPROVISIONS.COM  
The Next Exhibition will start with Reception on Thur. Dec. 6th. 5-8pm
SCOTT GRUPPE
SALT Gallery hosts Scott Gruppé's "Songs from a Palette Knife" in December

For the month of December, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St., www.saltislandprovisions.com) will feature a new collection of colorful oil paintings by eccentric local artist Scott Gruppé. To celebrate Scott's new works, SALT will be hosting an opening reception at the gallery from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 6th.
Scott Gruppé has oil paint in his blood. The fourth-generation artist was born in Boston, lived in Europe for ten years and has called Key West home since 1990. In his almost twenty years in Key West, Scott has had over 11 solo shows and is also represented by several galleries in the Northeast. He has worked on glass, plexiglass, wood, foam core, tile, matte board and canvas. He is not just prolific, he is successful: the growing momentum of Gruppé's popularity has allowed him to commit full-time to his art. His customers span the globe from Chicago to Finland, China and the Ukraine. And many may recognize him as the face behind the canvas outside the popular Hemingway House.
Scott's figurative expressionism is often referred to as "poetry in motion." When clients ask him to explain his edgy work, we've heard him quote Fellini: "Don't tell me what I'm doing, I don't want to know." There is simply no other art that compares with a Scott Gruppé painting.
            "We are so excited to get Scott's epic bursts of color up on the walls at SALT," says gallery owner Laura Richardson. "His paintings are so alive with frenetic energy and somehow familiar yet provocative at the same time. What better way to end the year than with an artistic bang?"
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 feature a new artist each month at SALT. Scott's work will remain on display until Jan. 3rd. For more information, call 305.517.6088 or visit  www.saltislandprovisions.com .

New work by Susann D'Antonio will be presented at Frangipani Gallery's opening exhibit on December 7th during the First Friday Upper Duval Art Walk.  This show is strictly for the birds as it is a collection of encaustic mixed media paintings portraying all types of common and exotic birds.  The paintings spotlight the bird's head only, suggesting an actor's photo portfolio.  Local favorite, the rooster, is center stage with other locals in the wings, the ibis, heron, pelican.  Other members of the cast have walk on parts, the peacock, parrots, the magnificent frigate.  Stage left are a supporting cast of fat little chick sculptures as the stand ins for the  main cast.  Join us for this fun birds-eye view and perhaps one of the birds will fly the coop with you. The curtain call for the show will be the end of December.

WE NOW CONTINUE WITH PART 2 OF KIM GORDON "MUSIC WITH HEART"
Key West favorite Kim Gordon returns to the Key West Theater on January 18th with a brand-new cabaret that weaves beloved Broadway tunes and favorite standards with fresh, fun cabaret
numbers. 
Kim Gordon: Music With Heart shakes things up with a unique musical mix that's funny, romantic, swinging and sexy. Proceeds from this rare solo concert and the champagne and dessert after party will benefit the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys to provide help right here in our community.  
Kim Gordon: Music With Heart is a sharp New York-style cabaret with a band that really cooks. Grammy-nominee Tim Mayer on sax, leader of the Paradise Big Band, Joe Dallas on bass, Hal Howland who is unsurpassed on drums and masterful pianist Ann McFarland bring their own exceptional talents to the stage.  
Gordon, who has a three-octave range, reaches back to a 1930s tune one moment and then forward again to a beautiful avant-garde piece, bouncing from Kander and Ebb, Lerner and Loewe, Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman to Michel Legrand and Jason Robert Brown. With a pure, bell-like voice and theatrical gravitas Gordon makes every song tell a story - some deep and moving, others lighthearted or sultry - and makes a strong interpersonal connection with her audience. 
Proceeds benefit the Cancer Foundation of the Florida Keys, which helps local patients pay their living expenses while undergoing treatment. This is the third concert Gordon has produced to benefit the Cancer Foundation, but the first under the banner of Music With Heart Inc., the new nonprofit organization she has founded to raise funds through music and the arts to help people in need in the Florida Keys. Gordon has raised approximately $500,000 to date for local nonprofits, more than half through concert performances, which has earned her a Lifetime Achievement award and Unsung Hero award, among others. 
The newly renovated Key West Theater is excited to be the choice venue for Kim Gordon once again.

 Key West Art & Historical Society Distinguished Speaker Series presents local folk artist Wayne Garcia: storytelling through intaglio
 
On Thursday, December 6 at 6:00pm, Key West Art & Historical Society's Distinguished Speaker Series welcomes local folk artist Wayne Garcia to the Custom House Museum, 281 Front Street, where he will discuss the techniques and inspiration for his colorful, bas-relief wood carvings that depict the vivid particulars and street scenes of the third generation Cuban-American's childhood.
 
The Key West native learned the techniques of carving on wood from watching legendary folk artists Mario Sanchez and Papito Suarez, using  many of the tools, substrates, and methods they utilized: standard wood chisels purchased at the hardwood store, a rubber or wood mallet, and small pieces of pointy glass to smooth out the images, get into small corners, and scrape the pine, mahogany, or cedar after carving instead of using sandpaper.

Key West Art & Historical Society presents "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell" exhibit at Custom House Museum

 
Key West Art & Historical Society celebrates the legacy of one of the island's most clever visual artists with "Art & Puns: The Whimsy of Ferron Bell"and a special opening reception from 6:00pm-7:00pm on Friday, December 7 in the Bumpus Gallery of the Custom House Museum located at 281 Front Street.  The exhibit runs through February 10, 2019.  The exhibit spotlights the quirky late artist's trademark visual wit and whimsy, featuring  work from private Key West collectors, personal photographs, and newspaper clippings about the unique personality  widely known for his  off-the-wall and humorous creations.  
 
A self-taught artist,  Thomas Ferron Bell began his career at the age of 16 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, moved to Fire Island Pines, New York when he was 21, later splitting his time and talents between there and Key West, Florida. Bell worked full time as an artist, cultivating his audience and frequently bartering and donating his work to fundraisers in the Key West community.

The City Commission commended the team at US1 Radio for their deserved recognition as the number one station of its size in the nation.
The prestigious NAB Marconi Radio Award went to WWUS in recognition of their continuous service during last year's Hurricane Irma.
The commission commendation notes that the station remained on the air during and after the devastating storm, noting "the great steps they took to make sure they kept the station going and risking their lives to make sure they remained on the air so the entire Florida Keys community could remain informed and safe before, during and after the storm."
The station has continuously served the community for 38 years, and Irma is not the first time the team has served the community through a hurricane.
"If anyone was around for Hurricane Georges, they did the same thing then," said Mayor Craig Cates, remembering that the station struggled to keep its generator running. "It broke down a few times, but old Zippy kept running. That's at least twice you were so important to the community."
"Your work is vital to the safety and wellbeing of our community," reads the commendation.

ADELE WILLIAMS FEATURE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Williams stepped into a position that was defunct and "had to start from scratch."  Her youth-focused initiatives included educational programming for schools aligned to state standards and the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) educational initiative spearheaded by the federal government, specific programming for special needs and at-risk children, environmental programs, school outreach programs that include visiting authors, artists and a traveling exhibit series, and scholarships to support those in need. 

"Bringing dynamic educational programs to Keys youth and working with the children themselves was the highlight," she says. "Listening to them articulate their knowledge of the history and culture of the Florida Keys assures me that the pragmatic approach that I've taken to education the last three years has come to fruition."  
 
 "And the gamut of academic experts, authors and artists- both national and local- that I met- Fidel Castro's daughter Elena Fernandez, Arthur Rothstein's daughter Ann Rothstein-Segan, who toured every public school in the Florida Keys with our outreach program, B&H Photography and National Parks at Night Photographers Gabriel Biderman and Tim Cooper, to name a few-  was extraordinary."  
 
Memorable moments include traveling through the limestone-cast country of Vinales "on the Cuba Uber, an ox-drawn cart" with a slew of photographers, meandering through the corridors of Fort Jefferson at 4am during the night photography weekend workshop at Fort Jefferson, and creating history-themed camps held at Fort East Martello with "my extremely talented" staff Crystal Smith, Rick "Deadeye" Wheelus, and Kevin Lisinski.  
 
"One person doing the education for multiple museums was challenging," says Williams, reflecting on months where the Society would be holding 31 educational programs in a 30-day period. "But the privilege of having access to these facilities outweighed the challenge, as was having a continued impact on the area's children through our programming, watching them develop a sound understanding of Keys history and gaining a true ownership of their islands and museums," says Williams.
 
" We applaud Adele for her work rebooting the Society's Education Department, creating dynamic and creative programs for young and adult learners,"  says Society Executive Director Michael Gieda. "The Society wishes her and Shawn great success in their future travels and endeavors.'
 
Williams and husband Shawn Cowles will now begin their research and development of world heritage sites throughout Mexico, Central, and South America to create educational tours, a business they hope to launch in the coming years. Williams says she hopes her department will continue to flourish and "that a new perspective will bring a fresh approach."  
 
"Everyone at the Society brings their own strengths to help bolster the organization.  I certainly hope that mine have, too," she says.
