This week celebrated Key West’s annual Queen Mother Pageant and we all have to admit there is just a little queen mother in all of us. We may not see it but somebody else might. So we asked locals ... Who would make a GREAT drag queen?

“I have to say Tom Luna,” said Raymond Vasquez, “I want to make him laugh.”

“Sarah Huckabee Sanders would make a perfect drag queen,” said Josephine Guerrera. It certainly would make White House Press briefings far more interesting.

“Easy, Christopher Rounds (owner of La Te Da),” said One Human Family’s J.T. Thompson. “He’s the biggest queen on the block.”

“Matthew McConaughey; he would be gorgeous,” said Gail Colburn. Kind of surprising he hasn’t already played one.

“Jared Leto, he would be a very pretty queen,” said Susan Meyer. Dare say, prettier than any other! 4 SAVE THE DATE KEY WEST WEEKLY / MAY 19, 2017

The Barefoot Man, George Nowak, a longtime resident of Green Turtle Cay, is here to play for the Island Roots Heritage Festival. HAYS BLINCKMANN/Keys Weekly

STRAIGHT FROM THE BEACH George Nowak, The Barefoot Man

HAYS BLINCKMANN [email protected]

ny guy with the nickname “Foot” has got to have a sense of hu- mor. George Nowak — musician and singer/songwriter, a.k.a. A“Barefoot Man” — has one of the best. Years of shoeless beach bumming and strumming his guitar has been fodder for Nowak, and “Your LOCAL resulted in a reputation that spans the Caribbean islands all the way to Hollywood. John Grisham wrote about “The BareFoot Boys” in his Internet Solutions Provider” novel “The Firm” resulting in a solid 42-second cameo for Nowak, ap- pearing with Tom Cruise. German-born, Nowak came to the United States at 8 years old and couldn’t speak English. While some may wish they could put that genie back in a bottle, Nowak uses his words to weave hilarious stories whether in song or in print. He has written more than 2,000 songs, a couple of books, and writes for his hometown newspaper in Grand Cayman Island. A former resident of Green Turtle Cay, Baha- mas, with daughters and granddaughters still living there, Nowak considers it a second home. He happily answered the call to perform for the Island Roots Heritage Festival this week. “What I love about the Bahamas is the freedom thing,” said Nowak. “There are so many islands, and water everywhere; it’s like going back in time.” Often compared to Jimmy Buffett, mainly due to the “island songwriter persona,” The Barefoot Man is different. “(Buffett) doesn’t do our songs and we don’t do his,” joked Chuck Quappe, band member. Growing up in North Carolina, Nowak has the country music storytelling style to his music. Calling himself a “simple three-chord guy” he is self-taught “by bumming around the beaches, getting a free meal and having to pay it back by playing.” He’s funny, he’s entertaining, but watch out — the jokes will fly. (And regardless of what he says, he has NOT won a Grammy.) The Barefoot Man and Band (musicians Barrie and Chuck Quappe) will be playing Friday night at Two Friends Patio and Satur- Internet | Voice | Video | WiFi | Managed Services day night at The Truman Waterfront with The Island Roots Heritage Festival.

“The point of a project like this is to get students to work beyond the four walls of a classroom,” said Courtney Oliver, K-12 science coordinator for the school district. “They don’t often get exposed to current science standards. This is essentially an enrichment project, but also a chance to come together and work collaboratively.” “This form of project-based learning has every component of STEM, and at the end of the day they have something to show for it other than a test grade,” said Oliver of the sea perch 1 curriculum. “Students who have gone through the project sometimes come back and mentor those who have trouble.” The task is simple, kind of: Navi- gate the ROV through a linear course of submersed hoops to the end.
