Monroe County Commissioner Holly Raschein recently presented Miriam “Mickey” Frankel — who just turned 100 — with an Honorary Conch certificate during a ceremony at the Keys Jewish Community Center Congregation Ohr HaYam (Light of the Sea) (KJCC). Frankel is a distinguished porcelain, watercolor and pastel artist who is still active in the Art Guild of the Purple Isles as well as the KJCC. The certificates are given by Monroe County to those who have made major contributions to the community, but were not born in the Keys. SUSAN GORDON/Contributed
