LOCAL CHATTER By Hays Blinckmann This time of year we are all a little tired. The traffic, the crowds, businesses at full tilt boogie, the traffic. We long to get off our oasis and get away. But the funny thing is, we always happily come back home. Why? So we asked locals …

When you leave the Keys, what do you miss most?? Ashley Sybesma, attorney, misses the island lifestyle. “I always miss my bike, the colors and smells, my hammock on my back porch, cheap drinks and bringing my coozie everywhere.”

Everyone wants to know where the locals eat… VOTED BEST PIZZA, BEST LUNCH, BEST FISH SANDWICH & BEST FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS

Paulina Smith appreciates the Key West pallete. She said, “I don’t have to drive anywhere unless I want to, the people are amazing, and you can’t find this blue and green color anywhere else.”

Sally Zeman, schoolteacher, just returned from a northern excursion. “Up north everyone hybernates, men have murses (man bags) and there is no color. Here I have a one-mile commute to work and I know my homeless. “

Who are the Keys delegates?

Parties firm up representatives to send to the national conventions

By Sara Matthis

n the national news, both the Democrats and Republicans are leveling charges within their own parties of attempting to “steal” the election by way of the delegate process. The news out of places like Colorado and Georgia have

many voters wondering how this process works. Who are my delegates? What rules must they follow? If by popular vote my state supports Candidate X, how can the delegates vote for Candidate Z at the convention? The answer is far from simple. In fact, it’s downright confusing.

REPUBLICANS

he Republican Party of Monroe County has already chosen its delegate for the national convention to be held in Cleveland, Ohio on July 18-21. Carey Goodman of the Upper Keys was elected last week to represent the Keys which is a part of Congressional District 26, largely made up of Miami-Dade County. Goodman is the daughter of Keys party chairman Debbie Goodman. She is a state employee working in the judicial system and is a former alternate delegate for previous conventions. “I’ve never been a delegate before and never chosen at the district level,” Carey said. Typically, the Republican Party of Monroe County sends one delegate every four years. The person applies, and then goes through a two-minute interview process with the state committee chair, state committee man and state committee woman from both MiamiDade and Monroe counties; six people. Although the delegate must be someone who has done significant work for the party, the interview is actually more of a set of instructions, Carey said. The Republic delegate must agree to spend the entire week at the convention, understand they must pay their own way and agree to cast a ballot for Donald Trump in the first three votes. If a fourth vote occurs, the delegate is no longer bound to Donald Trump. The Republican Party has delegates from each district, and also alternate delegates and 99 at-large delegates that are statewide candidates. Debbie Goodman said the at-large delegates are required to also support Donald Trump in the first three votes.

“This is a very intriguing national election,” said Monroe County Supervisor of Elections Joyce Griffin, who said even she isn’t clear on the difference between states much less how the two main parties – Democrat and Republican — come to a decision in the Florida Keys. One thing is for certain: the parties have completely different processes, even at the Keys level.

DEMOCRAT

he Democrat Party of Monroe County has yet to choose its delegate. Already applicants have submitted their bids, and those bids have been reviewed by both the Sanders and Clinton camps that have the right to strike individual names. The list of approved applicants will be released in the next few days, said Sue Cunningham who is the Democrat State Committeewoman for Monroe County. On May 7, the party will have a “caucus” — a formal election where party members cast ballots at two election offices (Marathon and Pinecrest). The four delegates chosen to represent Congressional District 26 are those that receive the most votes, typically more than 250. The Keys usually send one delegate. In 2012, it was Pam Martin. In 2016, the Democrats of Congressional District 26 will send one male and two female delegates that support Hillary Clinton. They will also send one male delegate to support the Sanders campaign. Cunningham said the delegates pledge to vote for the candidate they represent at the national convention which will be in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 25-28. However, the Democrat party also has “super delegates” who are not bound to any candidate. Cunningham said the super delegate from Congressional District 26 is Bret Berlin of Miami-Dade County. There are 32 super delegates from Florida. Individuals elected as a district level delegate on May 7 will be called to a special meeting in Orlando in late May to select Florida’s PLEO, at-large, and alternate delegates to the national convention.

Local denounces delegate process I am in a state of anger and agitation every day watching the treachery going on in the establishment Republican party. It is incomprehensible to me that delegates who support Cruz or Kasich can be elected delegates to represent the people of Florida when the people spoke loudly and clearly... “We Want Trump!” Our governor, attorney general, agriculture secretary, and most of all Florida voters, support Trump. How, then, can a delegate go and, if the votes goes more than a couple of times, send Florida votes to another candidate? In the words of Ronald Reagan, "The right to vote is the crown jewel of American liberties, and we will not see its luster diminished." We saw that luster diminished when Colorado voters were denied this basic American tenet. Therefore, you can bet, the only people attending the National Convention are the elitist who are in the #NeverTrump camp. It's been planned and Colorado was the Guinea pig for the entire nation. Listening to these people on Fox News talk about rules, We The People never got to vote for these rules or whether the rules should be changed. And this has been a slap in the face to all the people in this country. These people should be exposed for the corrupt entity they are and either restructure the entire GOP or it will be done. I am done with this debacle and the corruption and I intend to be very loud about it. Danny Coll Key West

Keys open new international airport ‘Are we ready?’ asked Monroe County Commissioner David Rice before using a big pair of red sheers to cut the ceremonial ribbon alongside Monroe County Mayor Heather Carruthers, left, former Marathon Mayor Dick Ramsay and Rep. Holly Raschein. The occasion was the official opening of the Florida Keys International Marathon Airport in the Middle Keys. International flights will now be able to clear U.S. Customs in Marathon, ushering in a new era for the small, regional airport that is owned and operated by Monroe County.

MUSIC SCENE Contributed

nder the radar. That’s the best way to describe Derik Reay. With one of the most gifted, musical ears and an incredible passion for music in general, “D-Rey” surprised even his best friends when his talents were suddenly exposed. As Nick Norman began working on his second album “It’s About Time,” D-Rey started pitching in and helping Norman record the early tracks out of Nick’s home. As the album progressed and recording eventually shifted over to what is now The Ramble Room Studios, D-Rey became more and more involved and eventually would go on to coproduce the entire album with Norman. The rest is history. Born and raised in the Columbus, Ohio area, Derik began his musical journey playing the saxophone in the fifth grade band and eventually began to play the guitar around age 15, playing in various bands in and around Columbus. Upon learning of a friends’ upcoming

divorce in December of 2006, D-Rey quit his job and moved to Key West to help him get through the situation. “ I moved down to help out a friend. That was nine years ago and he is happily re-married with two children, living in Philadelphia and I am here. Worked out.” Upon completing Norman’s album, the two began construction of what is now the state of the art Ramble Room Studios. Literally building from the ground up, Norman and Reay created a one-of-a-kind facility unlike any other here

in Key West. Reay, along with Daryl Brooke, James Whitehead, Andrew Gunning and Nick Norman now make-up the Ramble Room Studios team. D-Rey and Gunning share engineering duties, recording local musician’s such as Tony Baltimore, Tony Roberts, Joal Rush and many more. Reay is also the host of The Ramble Hour radio show, a weekly show that focuses on The Sunday Ramble and its participants. D-Rey continues to play guitar and has also become a fixture behind the drum set, playing alongside Norman, Whitehead and Rush at various gigs around town. He is also an instrumental piece of the Sunday Ramble production team. “To me, the Sunday Ramble is all about having fun. It’s fun for the musician, it’s fun for the audience. It’s a great place to showcase all the talent that resides here in Key West. “ Catch D-Rey on Pirate Radio WKYZ 101.7 FM every Thursday night for the Ramble Hour.

One thing that really appeals to me is this idea of music being a living thing that has an evolution that, in a way, enables the artist to sell a process rather than a piece of product. — Peter Gabriel

Phil Collins’ teenage son to play with band in Key West

hey say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. And that certainly seems to be the case for Nic Collins. The 14-year-old son of legendary singer, songwriter, and drummer Phil Collins is proving to have musical chops of his own as the drummer for What You Know (WYK). The Miami-based rock band is making its Key West debut at Sloppy Joe’s on Saturday and Sunday, April 23-24 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. The band also features Nick Aquilino on vocals, Joey Rodriguez on guitar, and Yannick Waingarten on bass. “Our sound is very alternative and funky,” says Aquilino. “Nic, Yannick, Joey and I are fans of so many different genres and we try to incorporate elements of the music we love into the music we play.” The band cites artists such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Victor Wooten, Same Cooke, and Stevie Ray Vaughn as some of their major influences. “And, obviously, my dad,” said Collins. Although WYK has only been together for less than a year, this extremely talented group of teenagers (ranging in age from 13 to 18) has already created buzz at home and abroad with recent performances at Gramps, American Airlines Arena, the Fillmore in Miami and on The Voice Switzerland. And they’ve done it despite being full-time middle school and high school students. “We don’t have a lot of time for anything other than school or music, but we wouldn’t want it any other way,” said Weingarten. “We’re really lucky to be playing at such iconic venues so early on. We’re even scheduled to play at the Montreux Jazz Fest this summer.” WYK strives to create music that pays homage to their heroes, but is unmistakably their own. They currently play a mix of covers and original songs. They are recording their first EP, but they say putting on a good live show is what matters most.

Geiger Key Marina and Fish Camp By Kristen Livengood

here's rum punch and then there's bartender Amanda Rosell's rum punch at Geiger Key Marina and Fish Camp — located off the beaten path on the backside of Big Coppitt Key. "I have people who come in specifically for this drink and if I'm not here, they'll just order a beer," she said of the potent potion. "It's not a rum punch by the books." With a mixture of coconut rum, Captain Morgan, all kinds of juices and liqueurs and a Myers floater, the drink is made to add fun to anyone's day. Rosell says the drink goes best with the hogfish sandwich or tacos on the menu and, of course, the view. Geiger Key Marina and Fish Camp is located on Geiger Road, about 10 miles north of Key West off U.S.1. Turn towards the ocean at Circle K.

Chef John Hines cooks with Heart and Soul By Hays Blinckmann Chef and owner of Turquoise restaurant John Hines is as sweet and colorful in person as is his food and restaurant. Having learned cooking from his Momma in Tennessee and the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), Hines has a passion for all flavors of food and built his restaurant around giving everyone a little bit of everything. From surf to the turf, Turquoise delivers the flavors of India and Asia to the Southern Bayou. “I started with eight pages and had to get it down to four,” said Hines about creating his dream menu. Laughing he described his process, “It takes a special kind of crazy to do this and I’m that kind of crazy.” Having cooked from Albany, New York all the way to MM 0, Hines has learned a few tricks. Start the meal with seared jumbo scallops with Crown Royal Maple Bacon sauce or crawfish mac ‘n’ cheese with Andouille sausage. These are recipes that cannot be duplicated at home and fulfill every diner’s savory desire. The entree menu is as diverse as it is delicious. From awardwinning baby back ribs with a spicy “cock” sauce to Duval Street Snapper with a scrumptious crawfish étouffée ¬—

Beignets with creme anglaise sauce change the way you feel about pastry.

Chef and owner John Hines credits his ‘Momma’ with his love of cooking.

which means to smother, and smothered it is — with vegetables and crawfish galore. Or try something different with Indochine shrimp and chicken that is simply a really good curry. Hines has crafted a menu with Ahi Tuna, mahi mahi, salmon to a bacon-wrapped meatloaf (with four meats) that rivals any made on the food channels. But the winner, the one dish that foodies cannot leave without ordering is the beignets. Basically, Hines’s beignets are why humans can taste food. The delicate fried batter is a flavor mixture be-tween a donut and the ultimate French pastry. The light dough is surrounded by a crunchy shell dusted with chocolate and powered sugar. Tear the Bbeignet apart and dip it into the creme an-glaise sauce, a sweet vanilla custard, and be prepared to never feel the same about pastry again. Aptly naming the restaurant Turquoise after the water that surrounds the islands, Hines delivers plates that are just as appealing. Whatever you are in the mood for, Turquoise has a menu that can be returned to again and again. Melissa Thompson, manager and girlfriend, describes Hines and his love for food and Key West, “He is extremely generous in the community, takes people food all the time, he just has a big heart.” Hines cooks with his heart and undoubtedly made his Momma proud.

KEYS ARTS

A Passion for Papio: Historian Sharon Wells tells her Stanley story Contributed rtist and historian Sharon Wells knows a good thing when she sees it. In 1982, the then state historian for the Historic Florida Keys Preservation Board received a phone call from fellow historian Love Dean: Key Largo folk artist Stanley Papio had died and the fate of his work was in question. Wells hopped in her car and drove up to MM 101 to document what the rebellious welder-turned-artist had left behind. Wells had heard of Papio and his yard towering with old car parts, washing machines and other metal that he transformed into extraordinary works of art, but she’d only ever driven by the “Stanley’s Art Museum” sign where curious travelers would stop and pay the 25 cent entry fee to view the satirical metal sculptures depicting his neighbors, naysayers and people he considered to be ‘environmental rapists’ who wanted him to conform to their imposed zoning laws. “It was astounding,” says Wells. “My immediate feeling was that they were like Calders and Picassos.” While people worked to rid the property of what they deemed as “junk,” Wells quickly photographed what she could, returning to Key West with wheels in motion to salvage his work. Papio’s brother, heir to the collection, decided they belonged in the Keys and would gift them to an institution who agreed to keep them intact, so she made prints and brought them to the the Key West Art & Historical Society board, suggesting the sculptures be housed at Fort East Martello Museum. Though not unanimous (some saw rust while others saw art), they voted to accept, and soon Wells, Dean, and former Society Executive Director

Two towering Stanley Papio sculptures –‘The Rabbit’ and ‘The Preacher’ — that inhabit the Citadel at Fort East Martello appear to engage in animated communication.

Stanley Papio

Barbara Hodgens were on their way to collect the creations — more than 100 sculptural objects and three-dimensional constructions — with the help of a Society maintenance man who un-welded the fence made of bedframes so they could be stacked along with the other pieces into two rented U-Hauls.

“The stuff was heavy as hell!” laughs Wells. “It was quite an ordeal. But it was worth it. I love that collection.” Wells wrote and was funded a National Endowment for the Arts grant to document and research Papio’s work. Next came two state grants for conservation, which brought expert Phoebe Weil — who also worked on the Vatican — into the mix, assessing each piece and providing a workshop for nearly 20 volunteers to help conserve nearly all the rusted pieces that were “a mess,” says Wells, who joined the Society board at this time. With the collection ready for display, aside from three chrome pieces on exhibit at the Custom House Museum, all of the sculptures continued on the next page

Papio’s satirical metal sculptures depict his neighbors, naysayers and people he considered to be ‘environmental rapists.’

remain at the Fort. Unfortunately, due to management shifts from within the organization, for many years they were given little attention, and the momentum for Papio was lost. But when the Society came under the executive direction of Michael Gieda and the curatorial direction of Cori Convertito, their enthusiasm brought Wells back on board. “I called and asked his opinion of Papio,” she said. “He quickly responded that it was a very important part of the museum’s collection that he wanted to focus on. We inventoried the pieces and that reawakened my own desire to get them in a proper setting so that more people could appreciate them.” The Society has since worked diligently to present his work and reacquaint the community with the artist who so deftly embodies the creative essence of the Florida Keys. It is proud to present the permanent exhibit opening of Stanley Papio: Junkyard Rebel on Saturday, May 14 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the newly renovated gallery at Fort East Martello Museum, 3501 S.

Dr. Mackey makes some changes Truman Medical Center accentuates personalized care By Hays Blinckmann

HAYS BLINCKMANN/Keys Weekly

r. Timothy Mackey has taken ownership of the Truman Medical Center and is redefining family practice. Dr. Mackey’s attitude is, “We treat people like people and consider that a privilege.” He said he is doing away with the sterile, medical office with new paint, furnishings and artwork, and also the angst between staff and patient. He said he has gathered a dedicated, welcoming staff that enjoy their work, and as a team, they want patients to feel at home and secure without the anxiety involved with healthcare. The medical center treats every situation related to primary care, just like a regular doctor’s office. Unlike a regular GP, the center doesn’t offer time-certain appointments. The

center will treat acute episodic illnesses and minor injuries but is not a certified urgent care facility. Like a primary care provider, they will follow treatment and provide preventive health including: minor emergency procedures, X-rays, ultrasounds, drug screens, laboratory, well woman exams, lacerations, biopsies and physicals. There are two nurse practitioners who are certified in family medicine — Stephanie Gallagher, ARNP, who has worked at the center for more than three years, and Sandra Sun, ARNP, who is a recent graduate of FKCC and hailed as “a wonderful addition to the practice.” “Everyone here just cares, it’s home here,” said Sun. Sun, a Keys resident for over a decade, with a Master of Science worked as a clinical researcher before getting her nursing degree. (But she is also an artist and received an Anne McGEE grant in 2013 to make and show her pottery). “Dr. Mackey is a fantastic teacher, we all

learn so much and have a good time.” Dr. Mackey came from Cincinnati and was seeking a little sunshine but got so much more. Having served in the US Army, Mackey has travelled the world and has worked in hospitals throughout Ohio and St. Petersburg, Florida. He found Key West offers the cross-cultural variety of a big city and said he welcomes the variety to his practice. Amongst the staff, six languages are spoken: English, Spanish, German, Cambodian, Polish and Mandarin. “In fact, I feel blessed to be able to do what I do, and for my practice to be increasingly involved in a wide variety of ways to serve our community. That, is what I love most about living in Key West,” said Dr. Mackey. Truman Medical Center is located at 540 Truman Avenue, Key West. It has expanded its weekend hours: Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m. to noon. For more details, visit www. trumanmedical.org. BRIEFLY

MAINSTREAMING | EARTH DAY

THEME: MOTHER’S DAY

Celebrate Earth Day by watching “Planet Earth.” The stunning cinematography reminds mortals how awesome our planet is and keeps small children amused for hours with guilt-free (for parents) television. It is called the “ultimate portrait of our planet,” but it is the ultimate television binging. Want to zone out National Geographic style? Then watch 550 minutes of soul-filling, life-affirming, kick-butt television. $67.90 @ amazon.com Have a teeny, tiny Keys yard with a patch of unruly grass? Save the planet and not break a sweat with the Husqvarna Automower Solar Hybrid. This lawn mower acts like a Roomba on your lawn and can double as a cat taxi. While it charges in the house, the solar panels keep it going outside (no harmful admissions). Also, quiet enough to sneak up on the iguanas. $3,000 @ husqvarna.com

Marathon High School student Gwen Rohe checks her reflection while trying on a prom dress from the Success Closet.

Say ‘yes’ to the dress Collection begins for prom dresses for girls who need them By Sara Matthis and Kristen Livengood

group of dedicated women in the Keys make sure every girl who needs a dress to wear to the dance, has one. In Marathon, visits to the “Success Closet” ramp up as prom season approaches. Hanging on a rack in Tina Belotti’s Marathon High School classroom, about 40 dresses are carefully cleaned and pressed, waiting to be chosen. They are long, short, big, small, simple and elaborate. All of them, however, are donated for the cause. More are needed. “For prom, we need the public to donate dressy shoes and smaller size dresses. For the boys, we need young men’s jackets, vests and bowties,” said volunteer Sherrie Taylor. Taylor spends about 15 to 20 hours a week organizing the closet at Marathon High School. She sorts ALL the donations — shorts, uniform polos, dresses, shoes and bags — by size and style and then manages to make them fit in the an 8 by 8 foot closet stacked floor to ceiling. The Success Closet has quarterly week-long events, and also special events, like prom shopping. “During our regular week long events, we serve about

And high heels!) to expand the offerings for Keys students. Another way for the public to contribute is by sponsoring a student’s accessories — new shoes, hair and nail appointments — for the prom. To donate, please contact Lori Denny or Tina Belotti at Marathon High School; Tami Dannacker at Key West High School; Alena McNew at Coral Shores High School; or Centennial Bank branches that collect dresses for Kids Come First. The attire is moved from school to school, timed to coordinate with each of the Keys proms.

years old, grew out of the need to provide middle school students with garments that meet uniform code. The manpower is provided by student members of the Keys to Be the Change. Key West High School and Coral Shores High School have similar clothing programs. At Key West High School, teacher Tami Dannacker started “The Prom Closet” seven years ago with the help of Kids Come First. The closet not only has a variety of dresses, but also shoes, purses, bags, makeup and some items for the guys, too. “We have assisted hundreds of students throughout the years,” she said saying it’s not just open around prom time, but all year. “Anyone can come look. I have students come to me for job interviews and sweet 16s. If they need something, anything, we do our best to help them.” Items can be kept by the students, or returned for someone else to use in the future. Starting on May 2, students will be able to come to her room during lunch to look, try on, or take dresses. At Coral Shores High School, teacher Alena McNew’s Future Business Leaders of America club and Spanish club took on the task to set up a prom closet in her classroom. Prom is May 14 at Coral Shores and Marathon, and June 6 at Key West.

SARA MATTHIS/Keys Weekly

y absolute favorite part of the Jet Ski tour happens on the backside of Key West, once we pass under the bridge to Fleming Key. Riders are instructed to follow the leader in a single file. Somehow, I found myself behind tour leader Mike who was flying. I squeezed the throttle and tried to keep up. Thirty-nine mph, 40 mph, 41, 42. For those glorious moments I didn’t think and I didn’t have to, I just had to follow Mike. I flew over the shallows and the wind whipped my hair and my friends and I laughed with heady glee that (almost) reckless speed can induce. But, let’s back up. I moved to the Keys more than 20 years ago when I was young and dumb. It’s a little hazy now, but I am sure I had some vague notion of what living in the Keys would be like. It probably involved palm trees and Jimmy Buffett and Corona beer with a lime wedge and super fast, super purple Jet Skis. (Excuse me, but Corona was cutting-edge brew back then. Come to think of it, my entire notion of living in the Keys might have been derived from Corona advertising.) Fast forward 20 years — a whirring, ticking blur of marriage, kids, hurricanes and so many deadlines — and it’s easy to forget the lure of this place. For years, I groaned along with all the other locals when the band would break out “Come Monday” at the tiki bar. But here’s the thing. I’m falling in love with palm trees, lime wedges and Jet Skis all over again. I’ve given stern warnings to myself to not let this be about my lost youth, that’s so cliché, but rather rediscovering those simple pleasures. I tested this theory last weekend with four other girls and Mike of Barefoot Billy’s Jet Ski Tours. Barefoot Billy’s takes a group of riders out for a complete clockwise revolution of Key West, the island. It starts from the beach at Casa Marina Resort, heads to Sunset Key and

SARA MATTHIS Sara Matthis thinks community journalism is important, but is no longer chasing the Pulitzer; likes weird and wonderful children (she has two); and prefers the lime wedge in her tequila nowadays. Occasionally she tortures herself with sprint-distance triathlons, but only if she has a good chance of beating her sister.

then through Key West Harbor. The tour leaders stop at various points to give the group some “insider” tidbits a la “Oprah used to live in that house.” This is when I would catch my breath. The tour continued through the backcountry (my favorite part! See the first paragraph) and then the Boca Chica channel. Back at the Casa Marina Resort I performed the most awkward dismount of a Jet Ski seen in some time in the lower United States. (“No, really. I’m fine. I swear.”) Even Mike was questioning if I was what I claimed to be — a local.

But here’s the thing. I’m falling in love with palm trees, lime wedges and Jet Skis all over again. — Sara Matthis
