Editor’s Note What the Cluck?

A national backyard chicken backlash could threaten Jacksonville’s bill

T

4 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JULY 17-23, 2013

he movement to allow people to raise hens in their residential backyards has ruffled some feathers.

Just around the time a bill was introduced to the Jacksonville City Council, a flock of backyard hen backlash stories started popping up in national media.

“Hundreds of chickens, sometimes dozens at a time, are being abandoned each year at the nation’s shelters from California to New York as some hipster farmers discover that hens lay eggs for two years but can live for a good decade longer, and that actually raising the birds can be noisy, messy, labor-intensive and expensive,” NBC News reported.

That story hatched a series of pieces by Time magazine, The Huffington Post, the National Post and others that categorized everyone interested in raising chickens as fad-seeking hipsters.

Jacksonville residents who already opposed the bill pointed to these stories as proof that allowing farm animals in residential areas was a bad idea. Their arguments included the smell, the noise, the predators chickens would attract, the nuisance of loose chickens — and now the impending flood of unwanted chickens at shelters.

But those who have crowed about the benefits of raising chickens say those are common misconceptions.

Jacksonville resident Lauren Trad founded Hens in Jax to organize people who want to change the ordinance in Jacksonville to allow hens in residential areas. When she learned her backyard coop wasn’t legal, she was able to move her hens to her husband’s family business, Trad’s Garden Center on San Jose Boulevard, where wild chickens on the property predate the 1960s livestock ordinance. (See our story at bit.ly/AllCoopedUp.) Trad wanted to help others who were eager to start their own flocks. Most are driven by a desire for fresh eggs, but many learn about other benefits of raising chickens such as pest control, fertilizer and entertainment. Trad said hens can be excellent pets, with just as much personality as dogs or cats.

But like all animals, they require responsibility of their owners. Anyone who’s interested in raising chickens needs to do the research and make an informed decision.

That includes researching websites like backyardchickens.com or ifas.ufl.edu and reading books like “Keeping Chickens for Dummies” to understand the lifespan, reproductive cycle and care requirements of hens.

“If you do not want to care for a hen its entire life, don’t get one,” she said.

There are options. Some farms will accept hens that are no longer laying eggs. And though some people grow attached to their hens, others might choose to use them for meat by taking them to processing centers. Others prefer to keep their hens for the pest control and fertilizer they produce.

Sexing chicks, or “bitties,” can take several days or weeks, so some chicken keepers might end up with unwanted roosters. Trad said she prefers not to use hatcheries for this reason and because those companies clip the chicks’ beaks to prevent them from pecking each other. She said reputable

companies will accept returns of roosters.

Keepers can avoid the problem by finding pullets, or adolescent hens, at regional farms through Craigslist or other forums.

Crissie Cudd with Watson Realty told the City Council about another realtor whose clients decided to pass on Jacksonville so they wouldn’t have to operate in the “illegal chicken underground.”

She said that when chickens are kept properly, neighbors never know they’re there.

“I live next door to two very large dogs,” Cudd said. “I’d much rather be a neighbor to four hens.”

Cudd has no plans to keep chickens herself — she and her husband are cat people — but she would like her Springfield neighbors to benefit from a change in the law.

“I would like my neighbors to be able to, and I can get the eggs,” Cudd said. “They taste better.”

Some complain that chickens attract wild animals such as raccoons, opossums and rats, but Trad said those animals are already in neighborhoods and a well-built, predator-proof coop deters them.

“Hens are not going to bring them into our community, but it will give them a food source if you don’t protect them from predators,” she said.

But these issues should not thwart an ordinance. Yes, some people will raise chickens and not follow the rules. But laws aren’t written for those who break them.

“I’m not encouraging everyone to go out and get hens,” Trad said. “I just want the right to have them.”

Denise Deisler, executive director of the Jacksonville Humane Society, said they haven’t had any chicken surrenders yet, but the issue is on Animal Care & Protective Services’ radar.

In some places, like St. Augustine, the law already allows for keeping chickens. Across the country, cities have adopted urban chicken laws.

If hens were turning into a big problem, Cudd said we would see cities dismantling these laws.

“That’s not what’s happening. We’re seeing more and more cities jump on board.”

In Jacksonville, City Councilmen Doyle Carter and Don Redman introduced an ordinance that would allow four hens at a single-family dwelling.

For properties larger than one acre, four more hens would be allowed for each additional halfacre. The bill requires a shelter and does not allow chickens to roam in public areas. It faces two committee hearings, public comment and a final City Council vote.

Trad said Hens in Jax members will be busy talking to Council members to make sure they have all the information before voting.

“Any animal should not be bought on a whim, whether it’s farm or domestic,” Jen Pike wrote on the Hens in Jax Facebook page. “It is not a mark against chickens, it is a mark on how people treat living things.”

‘Civil Rights for Everyone’

Thank you for your well-written Editor’s Note “Liberty and Justice for All,” dated July 3. My partner and I have been together as a family unit for the past 34 years. In our lifetime, we have both experienced rejection from our family members and verbal and even physical abuse from coworkers and complete strangers. I personally have been denied housing and have been asked not to return to a church.

Despite our excellent work record/history, we both have been denied promotions and pay raises because we are gay. This is something that all gay people can relate to.

I remember when a previous supervisor told me that I was well deserving and more qualified for a promotion, but because I was single and the other employee was married, he decided to give the promotion to the married woman. This has happened to me and to my partner on several occasions during our professional careers. My partner

Despite all the hate, rejection, denial and lack of legal protection, my partner and I have survived as a couple for 34 years.

We are not going anywhere, and we’re not going to live our lives to accommodate other people’s belief systems. has endured extreme homophobia from both men and women at his workplaces. He could never end this harassment because there are no laws to protect him, and EEOC does not cover gay people.

We are both professionally trained and educated. We paid for our own university education and degrees. We have jointly owned 10 different houses during our years together and have never been late with a mortgage payment. We pay our utilities on time, pay our taxes, and have excellent credit scores. We have never been arrested, and we don’t steal from or try to harm other people. We have made major contributions

to other people who are not gay and have both volunteered for many years to improve the lives of U.S. veterans. Our house is very clean, our yard manicured and we recycle.

Despite all the hate, rejection, denial and lack of legal protection, my partner and I have survived as a couple for 34 years. We are not going anywhere, and we’re not going to live our lives to accommodate other people’s belief systems. We will continue to treat others fairly, pay our taxes/bills on time, keep our belongings clean and serve the community. We all have just one “shot” at this time called “life”; we were born gay, and we will die gay.

I remember a time when gay people were killed and a time when I heard a judge comment, “He got what he deserved,” regarding the brutal beating death of a young gay man. Maybe the mayor and the City Council would like to return to those days.

When I think about the hardship other gay people before me have endured, I feel sad, but feel anger more than anything else. They lived a more hellish life due to the public and institutional beliefs and actions. Yes, things are changing for gay men and women, but my lifetime will have ended before anything significant happens. I hope that all this foolishness will end soon. I hope the next generation of gay men and women are afforded a more fair life experience than my partner and I have had.

I smile every time I see the Jacksonville mayor’s face. I smile when I see the black faces on the City Council. People have either forgotten or maybe they never knew about the contributions made by gay men and women toward civil rights. Gay people have made significant contributions toward the women’s rights movement and toward the African-American civil rights movement. Many may not realize that Martin Luther King’s speechwriter was a gay man. I lived through these times; I have firsthand knowledge of the support and monetary donations made by gay supporters of civil rights.

Thank you for supporting civil rights for everyone.

Design encouraging him to eliminate the name of the monster Nathan Bedford Forrest from a public school. You can write to him, too, at vittin@duvalschools.org.

I understand from the Times-Union that you are interested in revisiting the name of the Duval County school named for a racist, slave owner, slave trader, war criminal and the first grand wizard of the KKK who instituted Jim Crow in the South, Nathan Bedford Forrest. I was involved in an effort to eliminate this honor of America’s Osama Bin Laden five years ago. We followed all the rules and submitted surveys in favor of the change by a 24 percent margin, and the School Board voted along racial lines to ignore our project.

My friend and Jacksonville area civil rights icon Rodney Hurst and I would be interested in assisting you in the effort to finally remove the name of this monster from a public school and replace it with a name honoring someone worthy of such an honor. As you know, Jacksonville ignored Brown v. Board until 1970. This school was to be called Valhalla High School until the racist group Daughters of the Confederacy lobbied to have the name changed to N.B. Forrest immediately after the Supreme Court decision, as a direct insult to the AfricanAmerican community. I for one think it is time to remove this insult and show some respect to African Americans long punished in this racist community. I would be pleased to help to remove the name of the monster Forrest from a Duval County school and hope that you would be, too.

Springs’ Cloudy Future

Large amounts of pumping and livestock pollution are choking what used to be Florida’s gems

J

ohn Moran is known for his love of natural Florida expressed in his stunningly beautiful photographs.

When Moran moved to Gainesville in 1973 to attend the University of Florida, he began “seeking out these pools of stunning blue wonders that are the springs of Florida.”

Moran wrote about them for his exhibit of photos, “Springs Eternal: Florida’s Fragile Fountains of Youth.” The exhibit, currently running at UF’s Florida Museum of Natural History, features 88 photos of Florida springs

by Moran, including a 20-foot-by-60 foot photograph of two manatees.

Over the years, Moran has seen the dark side that a growing Florida has had on its springs.

“And yet 500 years after the arrival of Ponce de Leon on his mythical search, our real magic fountains are imperiled by pollution, neglect and the groundwater demands of a thirsty state,” Moran wrote.

“Once a source of awe, our springs are a source of deep concern, their future unclear.”

Moran has stunned environmentalists with a lecture, during which he shows his before and after pictures of Florida springs. The before pictures depict awe-inspiring beauty, while the after pictures display the same springs years later, degraded and clogged with green slime.

Pumping Up Pet Adoptions The Jacksonville Humane Society found homes for 593 cats and dogs in June, continuing to compete in ASPCA’s Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. That’s 214 more pets adopted this June than in June ’12, and the most successful June in more than five years. JHS Executive Director Denise Deisler said this summer’s goal is 2,013 adoptions, for the $100,000 prize. More than 1,000 pets will be available during a mega pet adoption event July 26-28 at Jacksonville Fairgrounds. The adoption fee is $25 for all pets and includes spay/neutering, microchip, vaccines and city license. Free adoptions are available for those with military IDs.

Bill Scheu to the Rescue Jacksonville attorney Bill Scheu may have to start sporting a big “S” on his chest. Seemingly the go-to guy when an issue needs to be examined or resolved, he’s been appointed to head a task force to review Mayor Alvin Brown’s fire and police pension reform bill. In 2012, he looked at the issue of Pell grants at FSCJ, and in 2004, he served as interim Duval County Supervisor of Elections. The pension task force plans to have a report for the mayor by mid-August.

No One Racing to Greyhound Gambling Been to a greyhound race to bet on the dogs lately?

According to a report commissioned by the Florida Legislature, greyhound racing is a dying sport. A 307-page report says the total handle for the sport fell from $938 million in fiscal year 1990 to $265.4 million in fiscal 2012, a decline of 67 percent. The report says facilities with greyhound racing lost $35 million in 2012, while those with poker rooms, including ones in Orange Park and Jacksonville, made $39 million in 2012.

A Kick for Jacksonville?

After a 15-year hiatus, professional soccer could be returning to Jacksonville. The North American Soccer League votes in Dallas July 25 whether to add Jacksonville as an expansion team city, The Florida Times-Union reported. An ownership group was formed in May; its chief executive officer is Mark Frisch, executive vice president of Beaver Street Fisheries Co. Dan Sala, a former goalkeeper, serves as president.

NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson said strong support for soccer during exhibition games bolstered the city’s case for its own team.

‘Dirty Dozen’

Robert Knight, president of Gainesville-based Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute, has compiled his “Dirty Dozen” list of the most degraded and impacted springs in Florida and added his comments: 1. Convict Springs on the Suwannee River: The highest nitrate concentration of any regularly monitored spring.

2. Fanning Springs on the Suwannee River: The most polluted spring in a Florida state park, dominated by algae.

3. Guaranto Spring on the Suwannee River: A polluted, weedy former swimming hole, nearly dried up due to intensive agriculture operations.

4. White Sulphur Springs on the Suwannee: Dried up due to a phosphate mine and excessive pumping in Jacksonville, filled with dark water from the river.

5. Rainbow Springs near Dunnellon: Currently the largest spring in the state, but also the second-most polluted spring in a state park.

6. Poe Springs on the Santa Fe River: Clearwater flows have essentially stopped, allowing tannic river water to enter a large portion of the aquifer.

7. Madison Blue Spring on North Withlacoochee River: Nitrate is elevated, flow is weak and the river carries high pollution loads into the spring.

8. Wakulla Springs: Another state park favorite but now producing more dark water than clear during average years; exotic plant control has decimated the biotic community.

9. Volusia Blue Spring: A former crown jewel that’s now devoid of vegetation other than algae and seasonally crammed full of manatees trying to survive the winter cold in a river of vanishing spring flows.

10. Tarpon or King Spring at Crystal River: A former bowl of liquid light that’s now opaque with planktonic algae; it’s more salty than fresh.

11. Glen Springs in Gainesville: A former swimming pool and urban treasure made famous

by Tom Petty in his song “Dreamville,” but now a dilapidated eyesore filled with algae and catfish.

12. Silver Springs: Florida’s first tourist attraction, home of “Tarzan” and “The Creature from the Black Lagoon,” and at one time the largest spring in the world. Silver now is polluted with nitrate nitrogen; in the last two years, it’s lost more than half of its historic flow.

Meanwhile, St. Johns River Water Management District continues to issue permits to pump out the rest of its life’s blood.

boats and the movies and television shows filmed there, just east of Ocala on S.R. 40, has become the poster child for what is wrong with most Florida springs.

Fish have vanished; algae cover much of the springs floor. Water flowing into the spring has been diminished, while nitrate levels have soared. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has called for a 79 percent reduction in nitrate concentrations in Silver Springs and Silver River.

A 2004 study showed the majority of nitrogen loading to Silver Springs came from livestock waste and commercial fertilizer.

In its present state, Silver Springs is dying, and its future could depend on decisions by water regulators in Palatka, who will soon determine whether to allow a cattle ranch near the historic springs to withdraw more than 5.3 million gallons of water a day to raise 15,000 cattle.

Lack of clean water flowing into the area, overuse of resources, bacteria, algae, excessive fertilizer use and inadequate treatment of human and animal waste are the roots of the problems at many of Florida’s 1,000 springs, said St. Johns Riverkeeper Lisa Rinaman, who heads the nonprofit agency to protect the St. Johns River.

“Our springs are the canary in the coalmine to our aquifer,” Rinaman said, adding that the health of Florida’s springs is “a window to our aquifer and we should all be concerned.”

She estimated that two-thirds of the springs here are polluted with nitrates, and have problems with water flow caused by too many water permits.

“If we pump too much water, we have no springs. If we pollute the water, no one can use them,” said Jim Stevenson, former chairman of the Florida Springs Task Force.

Near Silver Springs, Adena Springs Ranch wants to open a cattle ranch and a slaughterhouse. It first asked for more than 20 million gallons of water a day, then cut it to 13.2 — now it’s seeking 5.3 million gallons per day.

“It is ludicrous to remove that much water from the springhead of Silver Springs,” Stevenson said.

Rinaman also worries about the gallons of urine and tons of feces produced by 15,000 head of cattle. According to the USDA, the average head of beef produces 59.1 pounds of manure each day, meaning 15,000 head would be producing more than 885,000 pounds of manure each day.

Honey Rand, communications coordinator for the proposed ranch, issued a statement saying, “Adena Springs Ranch has been moving

diligently through the permitting process.

Our permit has had an unprecedented review, and we’ve made substantial changes. Our goal remains what it always has been: to create jobs, create a superior product and protect the environment at the same time. We continue to work with the District and are committed to bringing the process to a successful conclusion.”

Teresa Monson, a spokesperson for St. Johns River Water Management District, said that in late 2012, the district began a Spring Protection Initiative that combines regulatory programs, water supply planning, science and projects to reduce nitrate loading and protect spring flows.

Among the facts discussed by district staff are that springs flows are tied to rainfall, water quality has degraded in recent years, submerged aquatic vegetation may be slowing water flow into Silver River, and significant reductions in nitrates will be needed to restore healthy springs.

Robert Knight, president of Gainesvillebased Howard T. Odum Florida Springs Institute, a nonprofit that is also fighting the Adena Springs Ranch permit, said Silver Springs is on life support.

“Silver Springs is not healthy, and its vital signs are not improving,” Knight wrote in a Dec. 30, 2012, Ocala Star Banner op-ed.

“Average flows at Silver Springs during the past decade are reduced 32 percent, compared to the average of the previous 70 years, and down 50 percent during the past years,” he wrote. “The once-clear water, verdant plant community and abundant fish populations of Silver Springs are now all visibly degraded and disappointing to any visitor who remembers the way the springs once were.”

Bringing more pollution to Silver Springs to “subsidize a billionaire cattle rancher” is disturbing, Rinaman said. She was referring to Frank Stronach, who lives in Canada and Austria. He recently donated $1.5 million to the University of Florida to establish the Frank Stronach Plant Science Center at UF’s research farm in Citra.

Monson said the Adena Springs Ranch request is making its way through a process that has been going on since last year. The developer has been asked several times for additional information.

“The political reality is monumental. A lot of people are making a profit using that water and using that much fertilizer,” Knight said.

“What we are seeing is an acceleration of the problems,” said Knight, who added that he plans to draft legislation requiring people using (Continues on page 10)

Q: What safeguards do LastPass and Dashlane use? I’ve been hesitant to use a password management service like that because if it’s hacked, all of my accounts would be compromised.

A: LastPass and Dashlane both provide an incredible service: remembering the dozens upon dozens of passwords and logins that people have to use on a daily basis. Both LastPass and Dashlane use AES-256 encryption, the same encryption your bank uses to keep your account information safe. On top of that, Dashlane and LastPass encrypt your information one more time, using SSL when it’s transmitted across the Internet. Also, your master password is not stored anywhere. What does this all mean to you? IF someone is able to hack into Dashlane’s or LastPass’ database, they’ll have fairly useless information. It will take the hackers a looong time to decrypt it, many months to several years. You’ll have plenty of time to change your passwords. Visit our blog at folioweekly.com/deemable to find out more about LastPass and Dashlane, and why it’s so important to use a password manager.

The practice of identifying specific hurricanes began back in the 1700s, when storms were referred to by the year and the location where they took place. In World War II, meteorologists named hurricanes after their wives and girlfriends on the homefront (how romantic); men’s names were added to the mix in the 1960s at the urging of feminist groups. Today, the National Weather Service has a list of names for hurricanes prepared years in advance. While this system may be great for science types, it doesn’t help us laypeople keep them straight.

Plus, I always think it’s weird to hear potentially deadly storms referred to by people’s names, as if a friend is coming to visit for the weekend: “Chantal should arrive in Jacksonville Saturday morning.” As a result, I’ve come up with my own local hurricane-naming system in which storms are given a number and are formally named AFTER they make landfall based on what happened – or didn’t.

News (Continued from page 8) large amounts of water and fertilizer to pay an aquifer protection fee and use that money to protect water supplies.

“It has a snowball’s chance in hell,” he said, about the approval of such legislation by the Florida Legislature.

Over the last few years, many of Florida’s best-known springs have dried up and are no longer producing clear waters.

Cynthia Barnett, author of two books on water, “Blue Revolution” and “Mirage,” and Stevenson prepared a list of springs that have dried up.

Fenholloway Springs and Hampton Springs in Taylor County have dried up because of paper mill withdrawals. Kissingen Springs in Polk County and White Springs in Hamilton County have gone dry because of phosphate mining and urban use in Duval County and agricultural use in Georgia.

Union County’s Worthington Springs has gone dry from pumping. Suwannee Springs in Suwannee County and Jefferson County’s Buzzard Spring have stopped flowing.

Before the springs stopped flowing, many of the areas had hotels and health spas that now sit empty.

“All these ex-tourist destinations are gone,” said Rinaman.

Stevenson said there are only two pristine springs remaining in Florida — Gainer Springs and Cypress Springs — both in the Panhandle.

“There is no agriculture, and few people, in their springheads,” he said.

Stevenson said it’s possible to save Florida springs, and he mentioned the $10 million appropriated by the Legislature as a good start.

“It requires state and local agencies working together to accomplish it,” he said.

“Spring protection is complicated, which means that there are lots of influential foes,” Stevenson explained. “Our leaders like the simple solution that can be completed within a four-year political cycle.”

Bouquets & Brickbats Brickbats to State Attorney Angela Corey for determining that no crime occurred when 2,700 copies of the Spinnaker, University of North Florida’s student newspaper, were taken from racks around campus. Corey’s spokesperson, Jackie Barnard, said since the newspapers are distributed free, “the item has no value.” The State Attorney’s Office did not immediately return an email from Folio Weekly, also a “free” publication, seeking comment. Just because a publication is free doesn’t mean it has no value. Advertisers pay for that distribution.

Brickbats to the St. Augustine City Commission for voting to ban street performers from another area of the historic city. In a unanimous vote, the commission approved an ordinance banning street performers on Hypolita Street, from St. George Street to Avenida Menendez. The ordinance says the performers create a “visual blight” damaging the economic interests of merchants who pay property taxes. Visitors to St. Augustine enjoy the street performers, who have been part of the fun of visiting the Ancient City for decades.

Bouquets to West Nassau Historical Society President John H. Hendricks for receiving Leadership in History merit award from the American Association for State & Local History for his book, “Following the Tracks of Daniel Callahan,” an in-depth study of the life of the Irish-born railroad contractor who built dozens of rail projects in the South and along the Eastern Seaboard.

Brickbats to the Jacksonville Municipal Code Division for approving the demolition of homes in historic neighborhoods. Two homes in Springfield were recently torn down by the city. City Councilman Robin Lumb has asked code enforcement officials to try to shore up some buildings rather than tear them down. Neighborhoods Director Terrance Ashanta-Barker said the city has done a lot to keep buildings safe and stable, but it’s not the city’s job to rehabilitate and renovate residential structures.

or those interested in seeing the future of professional baseball, there likely will be no better showcase this year than the Southern League All-Star Game — and certainly not one you can see live in Jacksonville.

Suns manager Andy Barkett’s team is not having an amazing year, though it certainly is better than the debacle faced by the Suns’ parent club, the Miami Marlins. Nevertheless, Barkett helms the South Division All-Stars this year, and six Suns were chosen for the squad, including four pitchers — starters Adam Conley, Sam Dyson and Jay Jackson, and reliever Michael Brady. Dyson is sidelined with a back sprain and on the disabled list.

Jake Marisnick joins the squad from the Suns’ outfield. Kyle Jensen, had he not been promoted to New Orleans already, likewise would have been an All-Star. Jensen has Major League ability already, and it’s only a matter of time before he’s showing it in the National League.

Suns fans know what to expect from these players. They know, for example, of Marisnick’s power — something fans in Miami might be seeing in a couple of months after September call-ups, and something that might be seen in the bottom of the first inning at Bragan Field, as Marisnick will be leading off for his squad.

They know how left-handed pitcher Conley can strike out virtually anyone at any time, and the efficiency of Dyson, who might not be related at all to the vacuum cleaner company, but who keeps the base paths clear of runners more often than not. They know that batters hit a bit more than .200 against Jackson, and they know that Brady closes games virtually every time out.

Beyond the local heroes, there are some must-see players on the South squad. For starters, a trio of .300 hitters — Montgomery Biscuit Kevin Kiermaier, Justin Greene from Mobile and Mississippi’s Jose Martinez. On a circuit where pitchers generally prevail, a .300 average is serious.

Bottom line: If you pick up this magazine (or check out the website) in time, be sure to

see this game; it will be a highlight of what’s been a crowded summer sports calendar.

HOT PEPPER: A new voice is talking sports on WJCT 89.9’s “First Coast Connect.” I used handle the sports duties along with other occasional appearances. But Cole Pepper, one of the most capable sports broadcasters in Jacksonville history, is an excellent addition to the show’s mix on Monday mornings. Pepper’s stentorian voice makes even the tinniest speaker sound stereophonic, and his insight into all Northeast Florida sports is unmatched — except perhaps by Sam Kouvaris and Dan Hicken, but that point is indeed arguable.

Pepper has handled recent weekend sports segments for WJXT, and his addition to the “First Coast Connect” roster is just one more earmark of the program’s legitimacy and proof of its quality. At a time when public broadcasting on a national level seems perpetually under siege, what will save it on a local level will be the willingness of top-level contributors to lend their expertise in a format that is not driven by commercial concerns which allows them to express serious opinions to one of the best audiences anywhere. Melissa Ross, the program’s host, is “very excited” by Pepper’s addition to the roster — and listeners undoubtedly will value his insights as pro and college football seasons near.

WEDDING BELLS: A note of congratulations to Jaguars linebacker Paul Posluszny, who was married July 6. There must have been something in the air that weekend. I wasn’t in town for the Poz wedding (and wasn’t invited, point of fact). But I had other things to do. I was off in Georgia getting married to my own beautiful bride.

A word to those considering marriage: If you have the opportunity to marry in the North Georgia mountains, do it. On your honeymoon, you can zipline between the peaks, climb tall mountains and commune with nature. Sincere congratulations to Posluszny — and indeed to all who take the matrimonial leap this month and beyond.

Overstreet Ducasse remembers the first American song he ever heard. He was 6 years old, and it was “Jack & Diane” by John Mellencamp. “Little ditty about Jack and Diane, two kids growin’ up in the heartland” – a quintessential American song about wanting to run away to another place. Ironic, given the circumstances.

12 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JULY 17-23, 2013

Overstreet Ducasse takes a break from the rigors of his upcoming show with Stephanie Glen: “The Sum of Cube + Cubism” at CoRK Arts District opening July 26.

Immigrants from Haiti, the Ducasse family came to the United States, as many do, looking for opportunity — better jobs and higher education.

Not one member of the family spoke a word of English when they settled in Miami.

“My favorite show was ‘Pink Panther’ because it was mostly music,” Ducasse said. “I went straight to school — a predominantly Hispanic and black inner-city school — into an ESOL [English for Speakers of Other Languages] program.”

Ducasse, now 37, was never fond of school (“school and me just don’t really mix”), except for his art classes. Snippets of memories from his childhood in Haiti consist mostly of street vendors in his hometown, summers at his grandmother’s in the countryside and art.

“Everyone in Haiti is an artist, or at least they think they’re an artist,” he said. “I’d say between 70 and 80 percent of people in Haiti are artists.”

Noteworthy Haitian artists include Gesner Abelard, Rigaud Benoit, Alexandre Gregoire and Petion Savain — visionaries who created folk-slanted scenes of colorful people and animals working alongside the water and in the fields yielding crops, vibrant city life and historic religious figures.

More than 30 years later, Ducasse, who says he identifies more with being Haitian than American, is following in his homeland’s tradition.

He’s an artist — an increasingly successful one. Ducasse’s art, thoughtprovoking and sometimes even controversial, has been shown all over Northeast Florida.

Ducasse’s art is influenced by his life’s challenges — an unfamiliar environment, a new language and a different culture. Much like a palette of paint, these are part of his medium — a part of his expression and communication. The “universal language,” as he calls it.

“The work of Overstreet Ducasse is remarkably different from other

art that I have observed on the Jacksonville contemporary art scene,” said Dustin Harewood, who was featured earlier this year alongside Ducasse in “The All Americans,” an exhibit at CoRK (Corner of Rosselle & King) Arts District in Riverside.

“One does not simply look at a painting of his; Ducasse demands that you analyze and decipher. Nothing seems to exist on his surfaces without having a very specific purpose. His work, in my opinion, is a contemporary ‘urban’ take on the language of the surrealists of the early 20th century, i.e., Max Ernst and Giorgio de Chirico,” Harewood added.

Ducasse has exhibited at Fogle Fine Art, Burrito Gallery, Flux Studio & Gallery, the Riverside Fine Arts Festival and Beaches Fine Arts Series, among many others. He’s also worked in one art-related capacity or another at cultural and educational havens like Karpeles Manuscript Library and Ritz Theatre & Museum.

“One does not simply look at a painting of his; Ducasse demands that you analyze and decipher. Nothing seems to exist on his surfaces without having a very specific purpose.”

During an interview, Ducasse sat on a couch in his friend’s studio space at CoRK (his next-door studio was under a thick layer of sawdust from a woodworking tenant who’d just vacated). He seemed to enjoy a walk down memory lane, but he’s looking forward to his upcoming

Ducasse’s “Queen of Jewels,” (2009) was inspired by the 12 jewels of Supreme Mathematics.

Standing in front of several hypercubes, Ducasse inspects material for a new piece for his upcoming show.

show at CoRK’s East Gallery, with artist-slashmathematician Stephanie Glen. “The Sum of Cube + Cubism,” which opens July 26 and runs through Aug. 4, explores the connection between math and art.

Ducasse credited hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan with introducing him to something called “Supreme Mathematics,” which is a system of understanding numerals alongside concepts and qualitative representations that are used along with the “Supreme Alphabet.”

“I give them credit for figuring out what and how I wanted to portray my art,” he said.

“I started out doing paintings of the nine members of the group. Then, after listening to their lyrics more in depth and living down South, what I thought was New York slang turned out to be a culture.”

This culture, as Ducasse uncovered, was the “Nation of Gods and Earths.”

“It basically states that 85 percent of the people have no idea, 10 percent control the 85 percent, and the 5 percent who are aware — it is their job to teach [enlighten] the 85 percent. But what really fascinated me was the language that I once thought was slang was a sort of secret way of communicating.”

The Five-Percenters is an American organization founded in 1964 in Harlem by Clarence 13X (born Clarence Edward Smith), a former student of Malcolm X. The organization stated that 10 percent of people know the truth of existence and opt to keep 85 percent of the world in ignorance. The remaining 5 percent know the truth and are determined to enlighten the rest.

So Ducasse learned the Supreme Alphabet, Supreme Mathematics and their meanings.

The numeral 1 symbolizes knowledge, 2 symbolizes wisdom, 3 represents understanding, 4 designates culture/freedom, 5 represents power/refinement, 6 is the emblem for equality, 7 represents God, 8 represents build/destroy, 9 represents born and 0 represents cipher (denoting absence of quantity).

“Although you were using English words, if you were unable to decode the basic Supreme

Alphabets and the Supreme Mathematics, you could not understand what was being spoken,” he said. “Eventually, that would lead to some of the best paintings I have ever created.”

Glen, the other half of “The Sum of Cube + Cubism,” is a renaissance woman — writer, mathematician and artist. While Ducasse brings thought-provoking visuals to the table and has a deep interest in Supreme Mathematics, Glen is the one who can explain what a hypercube is and why the pair has decided to focus an exhibit around it.

“It’s a very wacky, other-dimensional object that’s hard to see in your head,” Glen said. “Even Einstein had a difficult time with hypercubes. If a line is one-dimensional, a square is two-dimensional and a cube is three-dimensional, then a hypercube is four-dimensional. So if a cube is a threedimensional square, then a hypercube is a four-dimensional cube.”

For the upcoming CoRK show, Ducasse and Glen had a vision of 36 simple hypercubes lining the walls — different colors and hues.

Like many creative projects, the hypercubes have begun to take on a life of their own. There’s a hypercube that looks like a suspension bridge.

And then there’s a hypercube drawn to look like a spider’s web.

“We plan on creating at least 36 hypercubes,” he said, pointing to the back wall lined with wooden boards that would be more at home in a woodshop classroom than an art studio. “This is a collaboration. I create the panels of wood, and Stephanie uses a scale or grid to draw everything.”

Then, the duo fills in the “hypercubes” with acrylic paint and other mediums.

There will also be a large-scale mosaic made from paint swatches and created especially for this show. “It’s of my friend Brad [Faughn] who died last year,” Ducasse said. “I was kind of like his right-hand man until he passed away.”

“If he’s not painting, he’s helping someone with their car or helping someone with something,” Glen said of her co-exhibitor.

“He is incredibly intelligent and one of the most mellow and thoughtful people I know.

For Overstreet Ducasse and Stephanie Glen, creating art is a cooperative venture, from cutting swatches to applying primer to conceptualizing a new project together.

I’m constantly amazed that two people from completely different parts of the world can have so many similar life experiences. We both grew up in poverty — he in Haiti and me in England — and we have so much in common, from religious views to political views to diet.”

Dressed in a T-shirt from local designer Tact Apparel, navy pinstriped slacks and grey Converse sneakers, Ducasse told his backstory that starts 1,000 miles southeast of here, across the Atlantic Ocean.

Born on Nov. 19, 1975, in Cap-Haitien, a city of about 190,000 on the north coast of Haiti that served as the capital of the French colony of Saint-Domingue during the 1700s, Ducasse was named “Overstreet” after Harry Allen Overstreet — an author his father was reading at the time.

Ducasse’s father, a construction worker, came first to the United States on a refugee raft and settled in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood. His mother followed next, and then each of the four kids. Ducasse, the

second oldest and only son, said he remembers being picked up at the airport and going out to eat at a fast-food restaurant — “a taste of the American life.”

In the early 1980s, Haiti was in a state of upheaval. The country’s dictatorship, consisting of Francois Duvalier (aka “Papa Doc”) and then his son Jean-Claude Duvalier (known also as “Bebe Doc”), was about to end. Though he says he identifies as Haitian rather than American, Ducasse has returned to Haiti only once, as a teen.

“It was a lot worse than what I remembered,” he said. “It was very scary.”

After graduating in the top 10 percent of his class in high school, Ducasse dabbled at a few community colleges, eventually moving from Miami to Tallahassee, where he fell in with a group of friends who proved influential in his growth as an artist. They would spend every night listening to music and talking about art.

“That’s when this whole ‘becoming an artist’ thing started,” he said. “When I really started to build a style that I’m comfortable with.

Everything that I am interested in eventually becomes part of my art.”

Throughout his time as a professional artist, Ducasse’s work has been constantly evolving, from paintings based on Supreme Mathematics to pop culture icons of Haiti to an entire series utilizing the symbol for infinity.

“The art of Ducasse goes beyond the visual,” CoRK’s Tumblr page reads. “His work is captivating, direct and abundant with metaphors and meaning.”

Ducasse’s parents haven’t been fully on board with their only son pursuing a career in visual art. His sisters are all professionals. One’s a doctor, another a professor’s assistant, and the third works in mortgages. He said it hasn’t created much friction with his parents. But they worry about him.

“I’ve been doing this a long time,” Ducasse said of being a full-time artist. “I’m OK.” “Growing up, you’re told you can do whatever you want — that you can be anything you want to be,” he said. “And then you grow up, and they tell you what you should choose.”

His parents speak limited English, so Ducasse communicates with them in Haitian Creole, one of Haiti’s two official languages (the other is French), which is based largely on 18th-century French and some West African languages.

Ducasse, or simply “Street” as most of his friends call him, is the only member of his family who is not an American citizen. He still carries a green card. And though renewing his driver’s license is a “pain in the ass,” Ducasse said he just hasn’t gotten around to all of the paperwork needed for citizenship.

“Really, the only thing is that I can’t vote,” he said. “But I can still live a regular American life.”

Even for someone who says he identifies more with being Haitian.

ore than a thousand people attended GAAM, a games, art and music event July 13 at The Museum. Many were dressed as comic book and video game characters ranging from favorites like Spider-Man and Pokemon’s Team Rocket to ones only diehard gamers would know, like Tingle from “The Legend of Zelda” and the demon-fighting heroine from “Bayonetta.” Food, music, beer, a costume contest and a gaming room with more than 20 TVs were featured. Props and games were available at several booths. One seller even had games from the NES, a video game console released in the U.S. in 1985.

Slow and Scary

A sluggish pace might challenge some, but director James Wan’s latest horror film sneaks up on you THE CONJURING ***@

Rated R • Opens July 19

I

n horror, an inherently limited genre that’s already been done so many times it’s nearly impossible to come up with something new, execution is key. Editing, sound, camera angles and more are essential in making us jump and scream. When done well, it doesn’t matter if the audience has seen it before, a good jolt will get them every time. When not done well, audiences tune out and start to laugh. It’s sluggish at times, but ultimately “The Conjuring” is done quite well.

Based on the real-life exploits of paranormal investigators Ed Warren and his wife Lorraine, director James Wan’s (“Insidious”) story follows a haunted house premise that leads to demonic possession and exorcism. In 1971 Rhode Island, the Perron family — father Roger (Ron Livingston), mother Carolyn (Lili Taylor), and five daughters — move into an abandoned home they purchased at auction. Soon, birds are flying into windows. Pictures fall from the walls. Carolyn wakes up with bruises. Doors close at random. The smell of rotting flesh is omnipresent. Feet are pulled during sleep.

“Get out of the house!” we think, only to learn later that doing so wouldn’t solve this problem.

For help, the Perrons call upon renowned demonologist Ed (Patrick Wilson) and the clairvoyant Lorraine (Vera Farmiga), who kindly do not charge for their services. They do, however, inform the Perrons how perilous their situation is and, rest assured, it’s a doozy.

At 112 minutes, the first hour is slow, with the story trotting through familiar paces while not employing much creativity. Worse, some

characters make the mistake of doing things characters in a horror movie should never do. For example, Roger ventures to the previously boarded-up and still very dark basement holding only a match. We know he owns a flashlight, because the next day he returns to the basement with it, so why he’d go down there the first time with only a lit match is anyone’s guess. And for the love of mercy, if you’re alone and think you see a ghost, don’t follow it!

It takes about an hour into the movie for the Perrons to ask the Warrens to come to their home, but once they do, writers Chad and Carey Hayes (twin brothers) throw a few twists into the mix to keep things lively. More important, the pace quickens as the story kicks into gear in terms of tempo and scares.

Though Wan is adept at keeping us in suspense before delivering the well-timed scares, every aspect of the film has an eerie ambiance. Even daytime scenes are a bit dark, and the cars, costumes and production design are ’70s tacky but never flashy. Also note the vertigo effect used at times when we view the outside of the house, making it appear unnaturally bigger when it should look its normal size. This allows the structure to overwhelm the screen, almost as if the demons residing there are trying to look big and intimidating to spook the newcomers away.

“The Conjuring” is rated R, but in no way is it gory or hyper-violent. This is a story of ghosts and demons, and to Wan’s credit, the slow start is necessary to fully appreciate the payoff. Anyone who enjoys a good scare will not want to miss this.

The Need for Speed

A plucky snail longs for racing fame, but the story lacks the power of other underdog tales TURBO

**@@ Rated PG

W

hen you choose a snail as your movie’s hero, there’s not much question that you’re doing a story about an underdog.

And you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger dreamer than Theo (Ryan Reynolds), a common garden snail who watches videos of Indianapolis 500 races and hungers to be a racing star like his hero, five-time Indy champ Guy Gagne (Bill Hader).

What seems like an unattainable goal earns him ridicule from the other snails. But when he’s sucked into the engine of a street racer and injected with nitrous oxide (think Peter Parker and his radioactive spider), Theo is reborn as Turbo, the super-charged racing snail. He even has some amusing car aspects, such as a built-in radio and headlight eyes.

After the accident, Turbo and his brother, Chet (Paul Giamatti), are quickly plucked

out of their garden home and plopped down in a decayed part of town, where they’re caught by Tito (Michael Pena), half-owner of Dos Bros Tacos and, conveniently, an enthusiast of snail racing.

Turbo is pitted against a group of five cocky snails owned by some shopkeepers who have taken to snail racing to kill time at their dying strip mall. The snails, who have taken on names like Burn (Maya Rudolph) and Smoove Move (Snoop Lion/Dogg), are lead by Whiplash (Samuel L. Jackson).

Tito realizes that a snail with super speed could be a tourist attraction to revive the dying businesses, a ploy which matches well with Turbo’s desire to race in the Indy 500.

The entire group, except for Tito’s skeptical brother Angelo (Luis Guzman), hits the road to make auto racing history.

The snails are cute and amusing, with Chet and Whiplash getting most of the clever lines. And the shopkeepers — Bobby (Richard Jenkins), who runs Valley Hobby; Paz (Michelle Rodriguez), the auto mechanic; and Kim-Ly (Ken Jeong), who owns a nail salon — are a fun hodgepodge of financial backers and pit crew.

But “Turbo” lacks a few key elements to elevate it above standard animated fare.

For starters, where’s the bad guy? It’s true that Gagne turns out to be much less of a hero than Turbo thought he was, but he isn’t much of a villain. He isn’t even much of a dirty trickster on the track. He certainly pales in comparison to Chick Hicks, Lightning McQueen’s nemesis in “Cars.”

And for a movie that’s all about achieving an impossible dream, where are the obstacles? Once he attains super-speed, very little stands in the way of Turbo and his desire to race in the Indy 500. Angelo doesn’t get on board, but Tito just ignores him. And no serious effort is made to keep

Turbo out of the race once his super-speed becomes public.

DreamWorks movies are no strangers to underdogs: a panda who wants to be a martial arts master (“Kung Fu Panda”), a flock of chickens who want to escape the farm (“Chicken Run”), an ogre who wants to woo a princess (“Shrek”). Those are all much better than “Turbo,” because the good guys have some serious setbacks on their way to those goals. “Turbo” is fairly simplistic, given what we’ve come to expect from animated features.

Young children will enjoy “Turbo,” and the movie manages to entertain throughout its 96-minute running time. But “Turbo” doesn’t finish at the top of DreamWorks’ animated efforts.

NOT SO-CUDDLY CREATURES Jiminy Cricket tried to pave the way for bugs and their ilk in “Pinocchio” in 1940, but it’s really just been in recent years that the little fellas have managed to break through as movie stars.

“Antz” (1998): Dreamworks’ first animated feature stars Woody Allen as a neurotic ant trying to break out of the totalitarian society of the ant world and woo a princess.

“A Bug’s Life” (1998): Pixar’s second feature, out only a month later than “Antz,” also featured an ant hero, Flik, who recruits circus bugs to help save his colony from a swarm of grasshoppers and woos a princess.

“Bee Movie” (2007): Jerry Seinfeld stars as Barry B. Benson, a bee who’s not ready to accept his role in the hive; he ends up in a relationship with a human and sues people for eating honey.

“Fly Me to the Moon” (2008): Three houseflies stowaway for an adventure aboard the Apollo 11 moon flight.

Turbo’s brother, Chet (Paul Giamatti), gets most of the clever lines.

V/H/S/2 **G@ Not Rated • Sun-Ray Cinema This horror flick features antiquated movie tapes you had to rewind. Private investigators discover a bunch of them at the home of a missing student. When they see what’s on the tapes, they begin to figure out the mystery.

WHITE HOUSE DOWN ***@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace The action movie stars Channing Tatum as a D.C. cop who yearns for the big-time adrenaline rush of being in the Secret Service. He gets his chance when he’s accidently in the White House as it’s attacked by terrorists. The president (Jamie Foxx) holds his own against the bad guys, too. The pacing could’ve been tighter for the story to move faster, but this tense movie delivers.

WORLD WAR Z **@@ Rated PG-13 • AMC Orange Park, AMC Regency, Carmike Amelia Island, Carmike Fleming Island, Cinemark Tinseltown, Epic Theatre St. Augustine, Regal Avenues, Regal Beach Blvd., Regal River City Marketplace Aggressive zombies are multiplying fast. Why isn’t explained, which is annoying, but not as much as seeing former U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), wife Karen (Mireille Enos) and daughters (Sterling Jarins, Abigail Hargrove) get special government attention in the crisis.

The visual effects are OK: a plane crash and the way zombies swarm like ants to climb a wall in Jerusalem but, overall, the movie isn’t visually dynamic and the 3D (not recommended) only makes things worse.

W

hen it comes to instrumental dexterity, few musicians can hold a candle to The Aristocrats. A far-flung, transatlantic supergroup of sorts, the trio is made up of Englishman Guthrie Govan, widely acknowledged as a “guitar virtuoso’s virtuoso” and the “scariest guitar player alive”; American bassist Bryan Beller, who’s played with guitar gods Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Dream Theater; and German-born drummer Marco Minneman, who’s played everything from jazz to death metal to prog rock and has cultivated a lucrative career as an instructional guru.

You might expect these three highly proficient shredders to come together and make pompous, overly serious music — but that’s exactly the opposite of what The Aristocrats have accomplished. There’s that band name, which references the filthily endemic comedy-circuit staple; hilarious double-entendré song titles like “Boing!…

I’m in the Back” and “Sweaty Knockers”; and the cover art on new album, “Culture Clash” — cartoon versions of Govan, Beller and Minnemann fighting off pigs, chickens and astronauts. Folio Weekly chatted with Beller about the band’s sense of humor, coming from a rock ’n’ roll foundation and visiting Florida for the first time.

Folio Weekly: The Aristocrats’ second album, “Culture Clash,” came out recently. How does it differ from 2011’s self-titled debut?

Bryan Beller: Well, we formed almost by accident after playing our first gig at a NAAM Show [music product convention] in Anaheim. The response was so overwhelming that we said, “OK — let’s just make a record.”

But we didn’t know each other that well, so “The Aristocrats” happened very suddenly.

Then, we went out on tour and learned a lot about each other’s playing and personalities,

which informed the songwriting for the new record. We took more chances and trusted each other more, now that we know each other’s strong suits.

F.W.: Tell us about the cartoonish cover art for “Culture Clash.”

B.B.: Humor’s always been an obvious thing for us. We’re all Frank Zappa fans — so does humor belong in music? Of course it does. We play music that’s difficult, and if you treat it in a shoegazing, “Oh my God, we have to be absolutely perfect, let’s not laugh at ourselves” way … well, that’s a recipe for no fun. So we’re happy to take the piss out of ourselves and our music and have a good time. When you play difficult stuff, humor helps it come across as impressive without being pompous.

feel like we should provide them with every opportunity possible to enjoy what we’re up to. With music, there’s this insatiable desire for insider knowledge. But all those extras also show people that we’re just regular dudes making music.

F.W.: You’re all highly accomplished musicians, though. Do you ever put your instruments down?

B.B.: After a show, we put the instruments aside. Ninety to 100 minutes of Aristocrats music is enough for one night. [Laughs.]

F.W.: You, Marco and Guthrie all devote lots of time to holding instruction clinics. How important is that?

B.B.: I really dig doing clinics. Guthrie and Marco have done more than me, so they’re easing off a little. But I think it’s the highest honor to have other people actually care about what you do — especially with a band like The Aristocrats, where there’s so much

“We formed almost by accident after playing our first gig at a NAAM Show.”

F.W.: Other than Zappa, what common denominators do you, Marco and Guthrie share?

B.B.: We’re all rock-based musicians who want to play more, as opposed to jazz-based musicians who have an improvisational facility learned from studying jazz masters and being able to play all different styles of music. Our touchstones are Led Zeppelin, Queen and Van Halen; Marco and I are more into metal than Guthrie is. We’re a rock-fusion outfit, not a jazz-fusion outfit.

F.W.: All your releases are bundled with extensive behind-the-scenes extras. Any particular reason?

B.B.: First of all, you have to be commercial about it — adding value to your physical product is necessary these days. With the Internet, you can really find people who are super-interested in what you do. And I

playing going on. So I love sharing that information. I did a clinic at George’s Music in Jacksonville Beach last year, and everyone was super-nice.

F.W.: Was that the first time you’ve visited Northeast Florida?

B.B.: It was. We’ve all played in Florida with our side acts, but The Aristocrats have never played there. Florida is one of those states that many bands just don’t tour to. Businesswise, it’s expensive to get into and back out of Florida. But we’re a modest outfit, and all of us are so busy, so with this record, we were determined to get to places like Florida and Texas that we hadn’t been before. We have three dates in Florida on this tour, and we can’t wait.

Music

Tim Butler says The Psychedelic Furs will release a new album, eventually. “We’re working at entirely our own pace, but there will be one. Slow and steady, as they say.”

After nearly 35 years, these UK New Wave pioneers are touring on their own terms THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS with SPACEHOG 7 p.m. July 25 Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A N., Ponte Vedra Beach Tickets: $28.50-$32 209-0399, pvconcerthall.com

O

f all the bands birthed from Great Britain’s late-1970s cultural revolution, The Psychedelic Furs always presented the biggest quandary. Although influenced to form after brothers Richard and Tim Butler attended an early performance by The Sex Pistols, the Butlers, Duncan Kilburn, Vince Ely, Roger Morris and John Ashton clearly weren’t punk in the same sense of the word. And though bands like The Smiths and The Cure took the English alternative rock ball and ran with it in the ’80s, the Furs were clearly more indebted to past glam-pop bands like Roxy Music.

Here in America, The Psychedelic Furs will always be best known for their 1982 song “Pretty in Pink,” which was rerecorded in 1986 and used as the centerpiece of director John Hughes’ teen classic movie of the same name.

But as Tim Butler told Folio Weekly via email, the Furs cultivated a rich musical history before and after that pop-culture high-water mark.

Folio Weekly: After nearly 35 years on the road, what does a Psychedelic Furs live show look like today?

Tim Butler: It’s a mix of songs from the entire history of the band — new songs that haven’t been released yet, spanning back to songs that haven’t been performed live since 1981. The band is undoubtedly the best it’s ever been live, and we’re very excited for our current U.S. tour.

24 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JULY 17-23, 2013

F.W.: Is it more strenuous to do a six-week tour today than it was in the early ’80s?

T.B.: It’s a lot better these days. We tour on our own terms and are no longer on that nonstop album-tour-album-tour treadmill,

which was absolutely exhausting. We go out and play live because we love to — after all these years, we’ve got the balance between road life and home life down pretty well.

F.W.: The Psychedelic Furs formed in Britain in the late ’70s. How influenced were you all by The Sex Pistols and that era’s punk revolution?

T.B.: I don’t think The Sex Pistols influenced us much musically, but they certainly did attitude-wise. Our roots musically were always more based in Roxy Music, Velvet Underground and Love. That’s what we grew up listening to. [But that time period] was cool. Richard and I actually went to see The Sex Pistols early on at a gig that many people claimed to have been at! It was full of energy and played a part in the thought of forming a band. But it wasn’t what [we were] about musically at all.

F.W.: Was it unusual in the late ’70s for a rock band to have a saxophone player?

T.B.: Not many, other than Roxy Music. The current trend at the time was punk, and we really weren’t trying to follow any trends. We were doing our own music with our own influences.

F.W.: Your song “Pretty in Pink” was featured in the 1986 John Hughes movie of the same name. How did that come about, and how pivotal was it in terms of fully breaking the band?

T.B.: We were well-established by the time “Pretty in Pink” was released. “Love My Way,” “The Ghost in You,” “Heaven” and a few others were already quite successful. The story we always heard was that Molly Ringwald was a fan of the band and asked John Hughes to write a movie for her around the song. [But] it was a double-edged sword. It brought us a tremendous new audience, but the Top 40

popularity seemed to alienate some of our earlier hardcore fans.

F.W.: Why did The Psychedelic Furs break up in 1991 and decide to reunite in 2000?

T.B.: We didn’t really break up — we just needed time away. Richard and I immediately went to work on Love Spit Love, and John had a couple of side projects he wanted to produce.

We just got tired of doing the same thing for so long. When we got back together, it was pretty natural. Our agent called us up and asked if we wanted to do a run of shows with The B-52s and The Go-Go’s. There was no real pressure or anything, so we thought, “Sure, it might be fun.” It was — and we’ve kept on ever since.

F.W.: How has the Furs audience evolved since 2000?

T.B.: We see young faces at a lot of shows now, and we hear from time to time that the Furs don’t sound dated like many bands of our era. I tend to agree — if any of the first four albums came out today, I think they’d do quite well.

F.W.: Will there ever be another new album?

T.B.: Yes! It will happen. We’re working at entirely our own pace, but there will be one.

Slow and steady, as they say.

F.W.: Do The Psychedelic Furs have much experience touring in Florida?

T.B.: We’ve been to Florida many, many times, and every time we come, we have a great time.

The shows are fun and exciting and the crowds there are always very enthusiastic. Besides, what’s not to like about sunshine?

Arts Space Crush

Heather Cox will use the expanse of MOCA’s atrium to contrast her organically odd figures PROJECT ATRIUM: HEATHER COX Lecture 2 p.m., members reception 3-5 p.m. July 20, exhibit through Oct. 27 Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, 333 N. Laura St., Downtown Admission: Lecture is free, RSVP strongly encouraged; $10 suggested donation for non-members 366-6911, mocajacksonville.com

ost artists who are given a giant gallery space might be tempted to fill it up.

But for her Project Atrium installation at the Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City artist Heather Cox will incorporate the unused space to create contrast.

In “Crush,” 75 white sculptures will crisscross the massive atrium floors and walls, each one appearing to have gone through an egg slicer before being reassembled with missing pieces.

MOCA Director Marcelle Polednik, who was familiar with Cox’s work, told MOCA Curator Ben Thompson about the sculptor.

After viewing her other installments, they knew she was a perfect fit.

“We wanted someone who could work in a large scale installation environment and also someone who wouldn’t show a preexisting work,” Thompson said. “We had seen her ‘Migration’ installment and were really interested in the way she dealt with the space and figures.”

“Project Atrium is intended to test and prove new ideas. We think Cox’s new use of the space will be successful,” Thompson said.

Project Atrium gives artists an unparalleled space to show their work. As soon as visitors enter MOCA, their eyes are immediately

drawn to Haskell Atrium Gallery’s three huge walls. Each featured artist is given a three- to four-month period to showcase a project. The third season of Project Atrium is funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

“The series is intended to promote upcoming and mid-career artists. We look for people who haven’t quite made it big yet and can benefit from the challenge of a large space like the atrium,” Curator Thompson said. “It all comes back to moving the artists’ careers forward.”

Cox’s three-dimensional “Crush” sculptures are made from a type of rigid PVC board called Sintra and resemble human forms that stand about 20 inches tall. The project gets its name from the sculptures that resemble crushed human forms.

Cox left the sculptures in different locations around New York City to see how people would interact. “I put them in stairways, in the subway, outside on sidewalks. People are a little jumpy on the subway, though. I got some weird looks!” Cox said. Photo: Heather Cox

She meticulously traced MRI scans of human body sections she found online. The shapes were digitally cut, then sanded, stacked and glued together.

Each of the 75 sculptures consists of 68 pieces and weighs about 18 pounds. The gender-neutral sculptures are identical except for the direction of their heads.

This directional difference in the sculptures relates to the overarching theme of paths that Cox said will play a large role in this installment.

“I like working with large groups. It’ll be cool to have a whole bunch to see what it feels like to be confronted by so many of these guys,” Cox said.

Before Cox decided on the final environment for her “Crush” sculptures, she experimented with different locations and terrains. Cox left the sculptures in different locations around New York City to see how people would interact. She photographed people inspecting them.

“I put them in stairways, in the subway, outside on sidewalks. People are a little jumpy on the subway, though. I got some weird looks!” Cox said.

Cox’s installation will also feature paintings and drawings used to create her sculptures.

The public is invited to watch Cox install the project starting July 11, but Thompson said prime viewing time will probably be July 15-19.

“It is such an amazing opportunity. There is so much space at MOCA; it is so unique,” Cox said. “You get to stretch in a whole different way that I haven’t really had the chance to do before. It will push me to the limits of what I can do.”

Cox said she wants visitors to be filled with curiosity and questions.

“I’m not even sure how I will react yet.

That’s the exciting part: seeing it all finished and how it makes you feel.”

Happenings EVENTS

VETERANS HISTORY PROJECT St. Johns County Public Libraries partnered with Haven Hospice to offer an oral history service to local veterans. Veterans who’d like to record their war stories for future generations should contact St. Johns County Public Library, where they’re matched with a volunteer interviewer for about an hour. They will receive a copy of their story and can opt to send a recorded account to the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. If desired, the veteran can request a copy be kept in the St. Johns County Library System, have it posted online for others to easily access, or both. Volunteers to interview, record, compile and donate materials are needed. Veterans, civilians, adults, young people, scholars, students, amateurs and experts are all encouraged to participate. For details, call Bartram Trail Library at 827-6960, Main Library at 827-6900, or Haven Hospice at 810-2377.

ver get that yearning for pizza and need to tame your hunger ASAP? Look no further than Your Pie, a fast-casual chain with a new Fleming Island location. Custom pizzas piled high (no skimping here!) with your favorite toppings are ready in a mere five minutes, thanks to a 600-degree pizza oven and nimble staff.

It’s often difficult to get a group to agree on pizza toppings: Some begrudgingly pick off mushrooms and pepperoni, while others secretly wish for garlic and pineapple.

Good news, picky pizza fans: Your Pie offers personal-size 10-inch pie.

While casual, the interior feels much nicer than similar assembly-line style spots like Chipotle, Moe’s and Subway. Seating is abundant, and I foresee many families stopping in after Little League games or swim practices.

Grownups will appreciate beer, wine, sangria and free Wi-Fi. With more than 40 toppings (add as many non-meat toppings as you’d like without additional cost), eight sauces and nine different kinds of cheese, Your Pie caters to the tastes of all pizza lovers. Even food allergies are given serious consideration: Gluten-free pies are cooked in their own pans, and there’s an option for dairy-free vegan cheese.

The crust is light and chewy without being too thin or too thick, and the edges maintain a perfect crispness. I had trouble choosing from eight sauces, but I enjoyed the flavorful sundried tomato pesto. On another recent visit,

I tried the pizza sauce, then added shredded mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, jalapeños for kick and bacon (because, well, it’s bacon).

Not in the mood for pizza? Several paninis and bread bowl salads await. I enjoyed the caprese: slices of fresh mozzarella, leafy spinach, tomatoes and shredded basil with extra virgin olive oil and a side of balsamic dressing, served in a baked pizza dough bowl.

Your Pie touts a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, allowing for several clever soda flavor combinations, like orange vanilla Diet Coke or raspberry Sprite.

For dessert, there are a dozen flavors of gelato and sorbet. To keep the calories in check, Your Pie uses milk instead of cream to create its gelatos. The blood orange sorbet was tangy and sweet, with a lovely red-orange hue.

Your Pie plans to open a second location in Southside’s Tapestry Park this fall — this spot featuring a wide variety of craft beer offerings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): 19th-century Italian composer Gioachino Rossini was a prolific creator of 39 operas. Renowned for lyrical melodies, he was sometimes referred to as the “Italian Mozart.” So confident was he in his abilities, he bragged he could set a laundry list to music. You have comparable aplomb in the weeks ahead – you’ll be asked to do the equivalent of composing an opera inspired by a laundry list. It’s different from making lemonade out of lemons, but it could be even more fun and interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? Or is its more vivid hue an optical illusion caused by your inability to see the situation objectively? My analysis of your current astrological omens shows me you’re not fooled. The grass really is greener. It’s important to know why this is true: There’s more manure on the other side of that fence. Next question: Are you willing to put up with more crap to get greener grass benefits?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You know the voice in your head that’s kind of a sneaky bastard? The voice that sometimes feeds you questionable advice and unreliable theories? This voice might be extra active next week. Here’s the weird thing: It may actually have a sound idea or two to consider. For once, its counsel may be based on accurate intuition. Don’t totally lower your guard. Maintain a high degree of discernment toward the sneaky bastard’s words, but be willing to consider this mischief-maker could be a wisdom source.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): We keep milliondollar works of art in well-guarded museums.

Paintings created hundreds of years ago are treated with reverence and protected as if they were magical treasures. Meanwhile, beautiful creatures that took nature eons to produce don’t get the same care.

At least 5,000 animal and plant species go extinct each year, in large part due to human activities. Among recent lost works of natural art are the Madeiran large white butterfly, West African black rhinoceros, Formosan clouded leopard, golden toad and Tecopa pupfish. Don’t to allow a similar event in your life. Astrological omens say now’s a perfect time to intensify your love for the natural world. Think how crucial it is to nurture your interconnectedness with all life, not just the civilized part.

FolioWeekly LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Hurry up. It’s time. No

more waffling or procrastinating. You really need to finish old business that’s dragged on too long.

Come to definitive decisions about ambiguous situations, even if they show no sign of resolution. As for those nagging questions yielding no useful answers: Replace them with different ones. How about the connections draining your energy? Re-evaluate if they’re worth fixing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “This morning I walked to the place where the street-cleaners dump the rubbish,” wrote painter Vincent van Gogh a letter. “My God, it was beautiful.” Was he being ironic or sarcastic? Not at all. He was sincere. As an artist, he’d trained himself to be intrigued by scenes others dismissed as ugly or irrelevant. His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could find meaning and enchantment anywhere. Your next assignment? Try seeing the world as van Gogh did.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You undergo a kind of graduation in the next four weeks.

From what? Maybe a life lesson you’ve been 44 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | JULY 17-23, 2013

studying for a while or an institution that’s given you all it can. Perhaps you’ll end your involvement with a situation that’s made big demands on you. During this completion, you’ll have major mixed feelings, ranging from sadness that a chapter of your story is ending to profound joy at how much you’ve grown.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What’s your favorite sin? I’m talking mischievous vice, rebel tendency or excessive behavior that’s taught you a lot. It may be that, now and then, this transgressive departure from normalcy has had redeeming value, even generating interesting fun. It may put you in touch with a magic that generates important changes, even as it exacts a toll. Whatever your “favorite sin” is, develop a more conscious and mature relationship with it. It’s time to evolve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian writer and artist William Blake (1757-1827) drew many eminent people who died before he was born. Julius Caesar was one portrait subject; others were Dante, Shakespeare and Moses. How did Blake capture their likenesses in such great detail?

He said their spirits visited him as apparitions. Really?

Could be possible, but it’s important to note he had a robust, exquisite imagination. In the weeks ahead, you, too, will have an exceptional ability to visualize things in your mind’s eye. Maybe not with Blake’s gaudy skill, but still potent. What’s the best use of this magic power?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): How close do you really want to be to those you care about? Think about this with unsentimental candor. Do you prefer some distance? Are you secretly glad there’s a buffer zone preventing you from being too profoundly engaged? I’m not saying it’s a bad thing.

It may be right for who you are now. It’s important to know the exact nature of your need for intimacy. If you find you do want to be closer, spend the next four weeks making it so. Ask precious allies to collaborate to go deeper.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I love your big, energetic thoughts. I enjoy watching as your wild leaps lead to understandings that mere logic could never produce. I’ve benefited often from the Aquarian tribe’s ability to see angles no one else can. In the immediate future, though, be a specialist in analyzing details and mastering mundane mysteries.

Think small, be precise. Can you manage that? There’s a sweet reward. You generate good fortune by being practical, sensible and earthy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is it a river or a creek? Mountain or hill? It’s important to decide – preferably on the basis of actual evidence rather than wishful thinking. I’m not saying the river is better than the creek or the mountain’s better than the hill. You should know it’s important to be clear about it. The same principle applies to other experiences you soon have. Is the catalytic person you’re dealing with a temporary friend or loyal ally? Is the creation you’re nurturing just a healthy diversion or a potentially pivotal element in transforming your relationship with you? Is the love that’s blooming a transient pleasure or a powerful upgrade worth working on with all your ingenuity?

NewsNews of theof the Weird Weird Street Gang Campaigns for Hospital Funding

Despite Chicago’s recent crisis of gang-related street murders, Roseland Community Hospital in a tough Southside neighborhood is on the verge of closing because of finances, and community groups have been energetically campaigning to keep it open. Joining civic leaders in the quest is the Black Disciples street gang, whose co-founder Don Acklin begged in June for the hospital to remain open, explaining, “It’s bad enough we’re out here harming each other.” Besides wounded gang members needing emergency care, said Acklin, closing would amount to “genocide” because of all the innocent people exposed to crossfire.

Parliament Parents for Scottish Babies

Scotland’s Parliament was revealed in May to be considering, as part of its Children & Young People Bill, guaranteeing that specific, named persons would be appointed for every Scottish child at birth, charged with overseeing that child’s welfare until adulthood. A Daily Telegraph story acknowledged the bill is “remarkably vague” about the duties and powers of the designated persons, and thus it’s unclear how the law might affect typical parent-child relationships.

Immigration Preference for Supermodels

“[Supermodels] is the one exception [to U.S. immigration policy] that we all scratch our heads about,” said a Brookings Institution policy analyst, speaking to Bloomberg Businessweek in May. Foreign-born sports stars and entertainers are fast-tracked with American work permits under one system, but supermodels were excluded from that and so must compete (successfully, it turns out) with physicists and nuclear engineers to earn visas among the 65,000 slots available only to “skilled workers with college degrees.” As such, around 250 beauties are admitted every year. The most recent attempt to get supermodels their own visa category was championed in 2005 and 2007 by, appropriately, then-U.S.-Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York.

Voter Turnout Trickle in Texas

In Lytle, Texas, in May, just 33 people voted for candidates for three openings on the School Board, including the only voter who cast a ballot in District 1. Christina Mercado was the 1-0 winner, but someone else voted for her. Mercado cannot vote for District 1 candidates because she doesn’t live there, nor does the one candidate who opposed her. However, according to Texas law, Mercado can legally represent District 1 on the School Board.

Did Her Cleavage Cause the Car Accident?

An April crime report in San Francisco, noting that a female driver had rammed another car in a parking-space dispute, noted that the victim gave officers little help. The man couldn’t tell officers the model car that hit him, and certainly not a license plate number, but he “was able to give a detailed description of the suspect’s cleavage.” No arrest was reported.

Committed Crime for Culinary Compensation

In Kobe, Japan, in May, an unemployed, 32-year-old man carried out a minor theft (stealing a wallet from a parked scooter) apparently just to be locked up in the worldfamous city. Besides being the home of Kobe beef, it’s known for its French, Chinese and octopus cuisines, and in fact, Kobe’s Nagata Ward Precinct is renowned for special gourmet boxed meals prepared by local bento shops, delivered daily to prisoners, which the thief said was foremost on his mind.

Police Overkills

In May, an Orlando Sentinel columnist demanded a federal investigation into the 2010 police killing of Torey Breedlove in Orlando’s Pine Hills neighborhood, noting that killing the unarmed Breedlove somehow required 137 shots, with cops missing on at least 115. The columnist added that the Justice Department is currently investigating a Cleveland, Ohio, case in which local police killed two unarmed men but coincidentally also required 137 shots.

(In both cases, the officers were exonerated after local investigators determined the officers believed the suspects were armed.)

Councilman’s Affair Produces Alien Child

Whitby, U.K., Town Councilman Simon Parkes, 58, confessed to a reporter in June that he had had an extramarital affair — in fact, an extraterrestrial extramarital affair — with the 9-foot-tall Cat Queen, and that she had borne him a child. Parkes said the Cat Queen is biding her time until technology is available to bring her and the child to Earth. “There are plenty of people in my position who don’t choose to come out and say it because they are terrified it will destroy their careers,” Parkes said. His wife knows about his periodic meetings with the Cat Queen, and is “very unhappy, clearly,” he said.

Ill-advised Alias

Shaun Paneral was questioned by police in Carlsbad, N.M., in May, on a loud-music complaint and, concerned that he already had an outstanding arrest warrant, gave his name as “Shaun Paul.” Paneral thus became the most recent perp to choose his alias badly. “Shaun Paul,” whoever he is, is also wanted by police in New Mexico, and Paneral was arrested for the false ID.

Doggone Indulgence

The British company Paw Seasons has created a holiday for dogs (surely to appeal to guilt-ridden owners who leave them behind on their own holidays) priced at about $73,000, consisting of a private suite for two weeks, with dog-friendly Hollywood movies, trips to the beach, surfing “lessons,” spa and grooming treatment (including pedicure) by Harrod’s, outfits from Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta and Mulberry, and the pièce de résistance — a personal dog house created in the image of the owner’s own house.

Democracy in Dredging

Public participation in the harbor deepening decision should not be perfunctory DREDGING THE ST. JOHNS: BUT AT WHAT COST? A forum about the potential impacts from dredging the river is held 6 p.m. July 23 at Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk, 1515 Prudential Drive, Southbank, stjohnsriverkeeper.org The Army Corps of Engineers’ official public comment period on the draft Environmental Impact Study closes July 31.

T

here is increasing controversy in Northeast Florida regarding the Army Corps of Engineers’ harbor-deepening plans for the St. Johns River. This harbor-deepening would require dredging a 13-mile portion of the river to increase the depth from 40 feet to 47 feet. The rationale for this proposed dredging is that a deeper harbor will allow JaxPort to accommodate post-Panamax ships, increase trade and create local jobs.

The proposed dredging of the river occurs at a time when the Jacksonville community actively debates what kind of city it wants to be in the future. This is most evident in the JAX2025 initiative, which has successfully pulled together various sectors of the community to consult, comment and plan for that future. To date, those who participated in the JAX2025 events identified and prioritized goals for the city, as well as the appropriate steps and benchmarks for attaining those long-term objectives. Notably, the objective listed as target No. 2 is to ensure that Jacksonville is “clean and green.” Additionally, a task force has already been established to make Jacksonville more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly. These objectives, when combined with the ongoing public discussion about the health and welfare of the St. Johns River, suggest that there’s a large constituency within Jacksonville that aims to part ways from environmentally unsustainable habits and, instead, craft a more climate-friendly future.

There is nothing new about the Corps’ and JaxPort’s desire to dredge the St. Johns River.

In fact, the river has been dredged, rerouted and rechanneled for the past 130 years. From Downtown Jacksonville to the point where it spills into the Atlantic Ocean, there is little that is natural about this beloved waterway.

The Corps’ proposal is symptomatic of a way of thinking that’s becoming increasingly outmoded; namely, that nature and the environment exist solely to be harnessed to human economic productivity. Indeed,

these goals seem oddly out of step with environmental and climate change sensibilities that are sweeping the rest of the country, not to mention the world.

In 1987, the United Nations issued a clarion call for “sustainable development” with the publication of its Brundtland Commission report, “Our Common Future.” The report indicated that economic development practices up until then had been unsustainable because they were based on the misconception that natural resources were infinite. Moreover, the report famously declared that resources for future generations should no longer be sacrificed for the needs of the present. More than two-and-a-half decades after that declaration, and with mounting evidence of climate change, risks and threats, it appears that the moment has arrived for human populations to take the mandate of sustainability more seriously.

Less well-known is the fact that the Brundtland Commission also identified local community participation as essential to sustainable development and democracy.

From the early 1990s onward, development projects in the so-called Third World have been required to both encourage and demonstrate community participation. In the years since, these “participatory requirements” have migrated from the developing to the developed world. The Corps’ attempts to encourage public comment, consultation and discussion of the Harbor Deepening Project are an instantiation of this global trend.

Since May 2012, the Corps has engaged in a series of practices meant to inform the public about the harbor-deepening proposal and, ostensibly, respond to community questions and concerns. This has included at least four inperson public meetings and a series of conference calls that, theoretically, are open to the public.

The problem with the Corps’ public consultation process has not been one of disclosure; indeed, as they themselves repeatedly attest, all of the information about the dredging project is transparently available on the website (1.usa.gov/12BBJm).

The problem has been one of outreach. The sincerity of a desire to involve community participation can be discerned in the amount of public outreach in a particular campaign,

project or institution.

JAX2025’s successful public outreach and community building, for example, stands in stark contrast to the Corps’ efforts. Unfortunately, the Corps’ community participation efforts mirror practices that have a negative reputation in the developing world, because they’re often disingenuous and obfuscatory. When a particular institution or project is required to solicit “public comment” and “participation,” it’s often done in a perfunctory manner, just to check off a technocratic box.

The Corps, for example, invites the public to participate in monthly conference calls, but how is a Jacksonville citizen to know about the conference calls unless they’re already on the Corps’ invitation list? Does the random person who might have a concern about the fate of the St. Johns River know that they should visit the Corps’ website and navigate through several links before finding the harbor-deepening documents buried deep in a digital labyrinth? During the April meeting at the Main Public Library, a woman asked why it was that she, as a property owner already impacted by past dredging, had only found out about that meeting from a neighbor, and why conference calls were held at 10 a.m. Mondays (when most people were at work). Another person criticized the Corps’ over-reliance on email invitations, wondering about folks not digitally connected.

Much to its credit, the Corps increased its outreach, started scheduling conference calls after regular working hours, and began its most recent June 27 public comment session with the announcement that they’d heeded the critique about being unresponsive to community concerns. As evidence, a poster session was presented to offer technical information about the project prior to the meeting. When the session opened, only a few brief comments were made by Corps and JaxPort personnel — then the microphone was turned over to the public.

As in past sessions, community members of various stripes voiced reservations about the project and the ambiguity in which the risks and benefits seemed shrouded. Property owners along the St. Johns River bank who allege to have lost property to past dredging projects frequently speak out. The Corps’ draft Environmental Impact Study came

under targeted scrutiny from a smaller group.

Kevin Bodge, a coastal and port engineer, found the report “extremely deficient in detail and scope.” Quinton White, a biologist who’s studied the St. Johns for decades, echoed these concerns, noting the report did little to produce a meaningful public dialogue to weigh alleged economic benefits against the projected environmental risks. David Jaffee, who’s produced a critical economic assessment of JaxPort expansion (bit.ly/JaxportUrbanGrowth), pointed out that the projected benefits of harbor-deepening would “accrue primarily to shippers and carriers. There is no necessary or automatic relationship between these kinds of cost reductions and the expansion of the local economy or an improvement in the economic quality of life.”

Finally, St. Johns Riverkeeper Lisa Rinaman said that the “Riverkeeper has serious concern that ACOE is stripping us of the opportunity to engage in meaningful public participation due to the amount of critical information missing” from the report, and that there was too much at risk to allow the fate of the St. Johns River to be fasttracked through President Barack Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” initiative. A representative of the local recreational community suggested the city might take advantage of the river in a different way; namely, promote Jacksonville as an ecotourist and recreational destination.

Democracy requires participation, and legitimately democratic processes are fully participatory in scope. Participation may include critical commentary unsolicited by those in charge of the “public comment” process. The number of community members showing up for the Corps’ public comment sessions, and the concerns they raise, have increased in quantity and scope since the Corps began this process more than a year ago. While the mandate of participation as the bedrock of sustainable development has a dismal reputation in the development world, one hopes the Corps can do better.
