February has a way of reminding us how much heart lives inside a community—and this month’s issue of Canaveral Explorer is a reflection of the people, stories, and small moments that connect us all.
As we were going to print with this month’s edition, it was announced that the Brevard County School District will be closing Cape View Elementary School. This news is deeply saddening, and our hearts go out to the families, staff, students, and the entire Cape Canaveral community. We also want to acknowledge how hard the citizens and the City of Cape Canaveral worked in an effort to prevent this decision. The care, advocacy, and unity shown throughout that process speaks volumes about the strength of this community.
We’re also grateful to Junk Food Bakery for the fun and flavorful photo featured on this month’s cover. Their creativity helped set the tone for our February issue.
Thank you for welcoming Canaveral Explorer into your homes each month. It’s an honor to share the stories of this community, and we hope this issue encourages you to stay connected and take part in the good happening all around us.

REFRESHMENTS SPONSORED BY
The Cape Canaveral Library is turning the page to a new kind of evening entertainment this February. On February 9, local musician Joshua Keels will bring live music to one of the library’s large conference rooms for a special one-hour performance from 6 to 7 p.m. The event is being coordinated with Madelaine, entertainment director at the Cape Canaveral Library, and promises a relaxed, intimate night of music blending familiar favorites with original songs.
While libraries are a newer performance space for Keels, live music has been his fulltime world for more than a decade. He’s been performing professionally for about 12 years and can usually be found onstage five or six nights a week at restaurants, hotels, and private events throughout the Space Coast and beyond—from Titusville to Sebastian and everywhere in between.
“I’m definitely enjoying the more intimate setting I’ve found performing in the library
atmosphere,” Keels says.
Over the years, he’s developed a sound that blends multiple influences into something distinctly his own. Drawing from 80s and 90s pop and soul, along with early 90s alternative and grunge, Keels describes his style as “Nirvana’s acoustic tone mixed with Michael Jackson’s vocals and soulfulness.” His sets also venture into 50s and 60s classics, often reimagined with unexpected twists that keep audiences guessing.
I ENJOY SEEING THE SURPRISE ON THE FACES IN THE AUDIENCE WHEN I PLAY A SONG THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED ME TO DO IN A MILLION YEARS. “
Keels has released three four-song EPs available on all major streaming platforms
and is currently expanding his presence through short-form video content online. The February 9 performance will also feature some newer material he’s excited to share.
He offers special thanks to Edmund Mac, entertainment director at the Cocoa Beach Library, whose recommendation helped open the door to library performances, as well as to Madelaine and the Cape Canaveral Library team for hosting the upcoming event.
Those interested in keeping up with Joshua Keels’ music and weekly performance schedule can find tagged location updates every Sunday evening on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Google under Joshua Keels Music.
For music lovers looking for something a little different, February’s library concert offers a chance to experience live local talent in a uniquely welcoming setting.

Greetings Beachside Residents:
If you are looking for an engaging historical fiction read, a little bit of Valentine’s Day love in the air, or a classic of note, one or all of these will do.
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhorn. Based on the real-life story of Martha Ballard, this is a story of love, power, and deceit. In 1879, in Hallowell, Maine, a frozen corpse is pulled from the Kennebec River, and Martha, the town’s midwife, is called to examine it for the cause of death. Martha, privy to many of the town’s secrets, declares the death a murder. Regularly called to give testimony about the townspeople’s experiences, she is roped into a narrative of accusations against two highly respected gentlemen (one now dead) and the other, the town’s judge. Bound by honesty and sincerity, she must learn to protect herself, her family, and her patients while maintaining the integrity of her position.
Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf. This beautiful story will leave you reflecting on how people come in and out of our lives, and on the importance of who we are and where we are to truly understand their impact. Addie and Louis are widows who live on the same street in a small town in Colorado. To stave off her loneliness, she invites Louis for sleepovers to talk each night before they sleep. As their relationship develops, Addie’s grandson comes to visit, and they grow into a family until the small-town gossip reaches her son, who disapproves. Will Addie stand up for herself, or will she cower to the gossip and the insistence of her son to “stop embarrassing him”?
Love by Toni Morrison. Morrison, a master storyteller, does not let up in Love. Billy Cosey, the well-to-do man in a small town, leaves a legacy of female entanglements. Through jealousy, gossip, and deceit, Morrison reflects on the power of love and loss and on how raw emotions drive control, even violence. Morrison’s use of language, imagery, and detailed descriptions pulls the reader into the lives of these characters, as if one were to witness firsthand the strength of love and loss and how people’s lives are defined by their emotions.
Happy Reading!

A Spotlight on the businesses Who Make Our Community Shine
Homes along the Space Coast built from the 1950’s–1970’s were constructed solidly. Their CMU block, backfilled with concrete; concrete walls built from rock lath and cement board; along with oldgrowth lumber used to frame the interior walls created a “bunkerstyle” home prepared to withstand the conditions of living on a barrier island. The windows were framed with aluminum, but at the time, single-pane glass was the choice, while a turtle tint offered reprieve from the sun’s intense rays.
How do I know this? Because the home we found has all the above features, and that is what we fell in love with: an old Florida house. We are currently breathing new life into it from the inside out. The most recent project has involved replacing our original windows and doors. We knew that aluminum framing is what we wanted. It was used to frame the original doors and windows in 1968, and its quality and longevity were a testament on their own; however, the search for a company that used aluminum became our headache. After multiple conversations, quotes, and sit-downs with a variety of companies, we were discouraged. Then, while lamenting to a friend over our window worries, she stopped me and said, “I have a company for you to call. You’re going to love them!” Word of mouth is the best form of advertisement, so with that, I gave Beach Windows and Doors a call.
CONTRIBUTING WRITER: Jen Burk
Beach Windows and Doors began 30 years ago as a dream of William “Bill” Mahler. Some may know him as “Bill Beach,” “Slider Bill,” or “The Window Guy.” Upon the passing of Bill’s father, he returned home to Cocoa Beach to be near his mother. Bill began working for a window company, and after some time, he shared with his mother that he believed he could start his own window and door company. Bill’s mother invested $200 in his dream. So, with $200, his trusty white pickup truck, and a strong faith, he started his own company. His commitment was to quality materials, only using aluminum and stainless-steel hardware. Regarding window and door manufacturers, he tried a myriad of them over the years. Finally, he was pleased with the Miami-Dade County–approved, impact-rated windows made by Lawson. Then, in May 2023, Pella bought Lawson. Bill was intentional in inquiring about the product moving forward, now under a new name, CWS. Pella ensured the product remained the same; the only change was the name. Bill’s level of detail and intentionality is also found in the company’s one-on-one customer service and team of skilled and knowledgeable craftsmen. One of these craftsmen, Ted, has been with Beach Windows and Doors for over 13 years. Over those years, Bill and Ted have had some excellent window and door adventures.
After 30 years, Beach Windows and Doors has highly satisfied residential and commercial customers. Because they are a window dealer, there is no “middleman,” which brings affordability to their pricing and confidence that they will beat anyone’s price around. Customer service is a top priority. Beginning with the number you dial not being a 1-800, but a direct connection to a friendly voice on the other end, most likely Bill’s wife, Robin. As the customer, your project is treated as if this team were doing it for their own home. Their business model is to focus on one project at a time, which ensures timeliness and quality of their work.
Beach Windows and Doors stands confidently on their mission to protect your home with a quality product at an affordable price. You won’t be disappointed! My family and I are ecstatic with our new windows and doors! Firsthand, I can say the process—from measure and quote to install and final reveal—is better with Beach!
opportunity. This time of year allows us to take stock of where we are while looking ahead to the important milestones still to come.
Our winter sports season is coming to a close, and we are incredibly proud of our student-athletes and coaches. Congratulations to our boys’ and girls’ basketball teams, boys’ and girls’ soccer teams, and our boys’ and girls’ wrestling teams for their hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship. A special congratulations goes out to our wrestling program for making school history with their success as a dual team. Their achievement reflects the commitment, discipline, and pride that define our school community.
Academically, our work remains centered on student achievement and learning gains, as we look forward to seeing the progress our students make from PM2 to PM3 this spring. Our teachers and students are focused on mastery of course standards in Civics, Biology, U.S. History, Algebra I, Geometry, 7th grade mathematics, 8 grade mathematics, and grades 7–10 English Language Arts. This intentional focus on high-quality instruction and consistent expectations supports meaningful growth for all learners.
Our underclassmen have already begun preparing for the upcoming school year by reviewing course requests and starting to map out their future pathways. Whether students are planning to enter the workforce, serve in the military, or pursue a college or university education, our staff is committed to helping them make informed decisions that align with their goals and aspirations.
As for our seniors, we look forward to continuing to help them create lifelong memories as they approach the end of their high school experience. The Class of 2026 is getting closer to graduation, and we are excited for a strong finish to the year with events such as Grad Bash, Powder Puff Football, Prom, the senior beach walk, and our tradition-rich graduation ceremony.
I am deeply grateful for the support of our families, community partners, and stakeholders. Your involvement and encouragement play a vital role in the success of our students and school. Thank you for being an essential part of our community and for your
