Welcome From The Chamber Chairman
I
t is my pleasure to welcome you to our premier publication "Island Life: The Official Guide and Directory of the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce" and our Island Paradise of Key Biscayne. The Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce has been representing the needs of the island’s business community for 52 years. Businesses play an integral role in our Village and the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce’s primary function is to represent our members and help them in any way we can. We work very closely with our Village government. By working together, we are able to achieve our mutual goal for a healthy economic climate. Our Chamber is only as strong as its members and we are fortunate to have a dedicated group of members who volunteer to serve on our Board of Directors, various committees and at Chamber events. If you are a Chamber member and are not actively involved in the Chamber, we encourage you to bring your talents to the table for the benefit of all of us. We are a professional organization, but we also find time for fun whether it be at our Business Card Exchanges or the annual Winterfest celebration. We look forward to hearing from you. If you are a visitor to Key Biscayne, we welcome you and invite you to stop by the Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center at 88 West McIntyre Street where you will find a myriad of information about our island which will help you enjoy your stay here. Just follow the "i" signs on Crandon Boulevard that point to the Visitors Center on the ground floor, open 24 hours a day. While visiting, we hope you take full advantage of all we have to offer in the 1.25 square miles that make up our Village. Whether it is walking our sandy shores, enjoying a meal at our fine eateries, shopping at our unique specialty stores, taking in a program at the Community Center or meandering through the parks, relax and enjoy! Our small community has the type of service you won’t find on the mainland, a caring and personalized touch to every customer. We work together to serve our visitors and residents in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Michele Estevez Chairman Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce The Key Biscayne Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Trustee and Advisory Board. For a complete list of names see page XX.

The Key Biscayne Community Center
I
n October 2004, the grand opening of the Key Biscayne Community Center drew a huge crowd of residents, all hoping to realize the dream of creating recreational opportunities for all island residents. Five years later, there was a turnout similar to that of the grand opening during a weekend-long anniversary celebration that was open to all residents from October 30 through November 1, 2009.
In the mid-1990s, residents envisioned the facility as a way to fill unmet recreational needs. Then, Parks and Recreation Director Todd Hofferberth said, recreation in the Village mostly involved the Key Biscayne Athletic Club’s youth sports programs. It made sense to have indoor activity space, including a gymnasium, and also to provide activities for kids who were not interested in sports. Additionally, other parts of
Page 38 2010 | ISLAND LIFE MAGAZINE ::::::::::::
the population needed and deserved a place to “hang out” and recreate. In 1996, residents surveyed guests at the annual Village Halloween Haunted House, and found “overwhelming support” for the idea. Three women – Julie Alvarez, a grandmother; Bonnie Cooper, the mom of a teen, and Pat WoodsonWeinman, a new parent with a second child on the way – formed
Citizens for a Community Center. A movement was born, and it immediately made its mark. With five years of history, both Community Center staff and the residents who helped make the building a reality say they’re pleased with how far the Village has come. “We have one of the finest community centers in the nation, and that’s what is most important,” noted Woodson-Weinman.
Village:Layout 1 11/20/09 1:34 PM Page 39
WELCOME TO KEY BISCAYNE And Hofferberth needs only to look around him – at the record turnout of 120 young women for girls volleyball; at the Team Key Aquatics swimmers who frequently win awards; at the young people who crowd in for non-sports programs like homework assistance and cooking classes – to know that the Community Center is a vital part of the Village. “When the Community Center was developed, it was exactly
that – not a youth center, but for everyone,” Hofferberth remarked. “One of the bigger successes is we’ve been able to involve all the demographics, and we’re continuing to see what we can do to enhance programming. “There are so many people that have led to the success of the Community Center,” he added. “It is truly the community’s facility, and we’re just the stewards as employees.”

History &
Culture
The Golden Dome at Miami Seaquarium was dedicated in 1960. World-famous architect Buckminster Fuller was the inspiration for the structure’s geodesic design.
There are still attractions on Key Biscayne that honor our community’s past. Miami Seaquarium In 1955, Miami Seaquarium opened its doors, the first marine-life attraction in South Florida. At the time, it was the largest marine-life attraction in the world. And now, almost 55 years later, Miami Seaquarium is the longest operating oceanarium in the United States. From 1963-1967, 88 television episodes and two movies starring Flipper, a bottlenose dolphin, were filmed at Seaquarium. The Seaquarium’s Golden Dome, a South Florida landmark, stands 55 feet high, has a diameter of 146 feet and weighs 45,000 pounds. World-famous architect Buckminster Fuller, who dedicated the structure in 1960, was the inspiration of the structure’s geodesic design. Page 44 2010 | ISLAND LIFE MAGAZINE ::::::::::::
Under the shade of the Golden Dome, you may see Salty the Sea Lion and Harbor Seals perform. 305-361-5705 www.miamiseaquarium.com
Virginia Key Beach Virginia Key Beach, once accessible only by boat, was established in 1945 as the only public beach for the “exclusive use of Negroes” in Miami-Dade County. In 1982, the City of Miami closed the park, and it remained shuttered until the Grand Re-Opening in 2008, after local citizens formed the Virginia Key Beach Park Task Force in response to plans for private development of the property.

HISTORY AND CULTURE In 2002, Historic Virginia Key Beach Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today the park has exhibits celebrating the distinct cultural, recreational and ecological past of this tropical paradise. In September 2009, the City of Miami cut off funding to the park, so its future is uncertain. At press time, park supporters were looking for new funding options. 305-960-4606 www.virginiakeybeachpark.net
The 65-foot-tall Cape Florida Lighthouse was completed in 1825.
Cape Florida Lighthouse In 1822, Congress appropriated $8,000 to build Cape Florida Lighthouse, and added $16,000 in 1824. The 65-foot-tall brick tower with wood steps was completed in 1825. On July 23, 1836, a band of Seminole Indians attacked the tower. The assistant lighthouse keeper and his handyman barricaded themselves inside the tower and then retreated to the top after the Indians set fire to the wooden door and the fire spread to a 225-gallon tank of oil. As the flames increased, the two men went out on the iron railing. The handyman was killed and the assistant keeper was injured. In desperation, he threw a keg of powder down the staircase, destroying what was left of the burning steps. Thinking the assistant keeper was dead, the Indians set their sights on the keeper’s cottage and then left. Hearing the explosion of the keg of powder, a Naval vessel landed on shore and later found the assistant keeper. The threat of further Indian attacks prevented reconstruction of the lighthouse for more than 10 years. The lighthouse remained out of service until 1847, when it was rebuilt with iron steps. After Florida seceded from the Union in 1861, the lamps and burners were removed from the lighthouse and the center prism was smashed so it could not be used to help Union soldiers who controlled the surrounding waters. The Cape Florida Lighthouse was repaired after the Civil War ended, but in 1878 it was extinguished again when the offshore Fowey Rocks Lighthouse replaced it. By the 1920s, the coastline had eroded so much that the lighthouse, originally 100 feet from shore, stood only 10 feet from the water. Rejected twice as a historic landmark by the Federal Govern-
ment, the lighthouse was finally purchased, along with the southern tip of Key Biscayne, by the State of Florida in 1966. The following year the park, which was named Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park in honor of newspaper editor Bill Baggs, who spearheaded the campaign to save the lighthouse, was opened. On July 4, 1978, 100 years after the lighthouse was extinguished, it was relit. After it was damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it was rebuilt in time for the Miami Centennial in 1996. Today, park rangers offer guided tours to the top of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is open Thursday-Monday 10 a.m.-1 p.m. 305-361-5811 www.floridastateparks.gov
Underground Railroad Before the Cape Florida Lighthouse was built, Cape Florida was a secret meeting place and port for runaway slaves and Seminole Blacks. Freedom seekers waited along its shores to rendezvous with sea captains or board dugouts for a passage to safety in the British Bahamas. Although the lighthouse was built to save lives and ships, its unflinching light brought an end to this avenue of escape. In September 2004, Cape Florida was designated as a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site. 305-361-5811 www.floridastatepark.gov :::::::::::: 2010 | ISLAND LIFE MAGAZINE Page 45

Heritage Trail The Key Biscayne Heritage Trail is a series of markers from Crandon Park to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. It follows along paths of prehistoric Indians and early settlers. Highlights include a protected fossil reef carbon dated to about 60 A.D. Scientists describe the reef as “Key Biscayne’s Petrified Forest.” It was formed of ancient roots of the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans). Another marker points to the former dwellings of Tequesta Indians, who built dwellings prior to the arrival of Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513. On one site, one of several fishing camps was discovered by archeologists in 1992; other sites run the length of the Crandon Boulevard median, protected in the Archeological Preservation Zone. Another site, Hacienda Canal and Basin, was an early landing for work boats. The canal was dredged from bay to interior to transport plantation goods. Tropical fruits, plants, Hacienda Honey and coconuts were shipped to local and northern markets. Harvest sheds and the "Coconut Husking House" were demolished in the early 1950s, leaving only a remnant basin which is located on the south side of the Key Biscayne Yacht Club. In total, the Heritage Trail has 36 markers.
