Editor’s Note Public Defender’s Soap Opera

Scandal caused pain and heartache for everyone involved – and derailed three women’s careers

4 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2013

he Public Defender’s Office performs one of the most important functions in our government. The Sixth Amendment states, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall … have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.” The U.S. Supreme Court later ruled that counsel must be provided to indigent defendants in all felony cases. The Public Defender’s Office is there to represent those who would otherwise have no one to defend them. It is a serious and sacred job. Lives hang in the balance. So when The Florida Times-Union reported that Public Defender Matt Shirk is accused of “a perceived unusual closeness” with a young woman in his employment and possible public records violations, it detracts from the important work of that office. Kayle Chester, 28, was an employee at Whisky River and a local attorney’s office. A.L. Kelly, director of investigations, said Shirk saw Chester’s picture on social media and asked Kelly to contact her about a job with the Public Defender’s Office. Kelly said Shirk didn’t follow the hiring committee interview process when he hired Chester in May. Shirk’s office also hired Chester’s coworker from Whisky River, Kristal Coggins, 23. Greg Strickland, another investigator at the office, said Shirk and Chester were often seen together at morning coffee, lunch, her cubicle or his office. He saidTiffany Ice, 30, also began making trips to Shirk’s office with Chester. During the week of June 10, Ice told Strickland that she, Chester and Shirk were drinking shots of liquor in his office. He said Ice later received a text message from Shirk’s phone asking her to join him in a shower, but she did not, according to the Times-Union. Shirk sent an office-wide email that evening that said he lost his phone, according to Strickland. He said that same night, Shirk’s wife, Michelle, told Ice during a phone call to end the inappropriate relationship with her husband. He said Shirk’s wife visited the office the next day and tried to fire Ice. On June 17, Chester and Coggins were terminated, according to public records that don’t explain why they were fired. Both were employed for a month or less and still on their probationary periods. A week later, Ice was fired. Kelly resigned July 15 after four years with the Public Defender’s Office. Strickland resigned July 18; he emailed Shirk that he was upset with how the women and Kelly were treated. Michelle Shirk had an access badge to the office that was used during the week of June 10. Staff assistant Sherry Spurling deleted the access badge records for Michelle Shirk on Aug. 14, but backup files at City Hall were found when the Times-Union made a public records request. In addition, public records show that Matt Shirk’s access card was used only three days between June 12 and July 11. Kelly’s resignation email mentioned that he had trouble getting in touch with Shirk. Shirk’s Chief of Staff Ron Mallett left Kelly a voicemail asking him

to write a new resignation letter that didn’t mention not being able to reach Shirk, the Times-Union reported. Gov. Rick Scott appointed a special prosecutor to investigate. State Attorney Angela Corey smartly recused herself. That duty will go to Bill Cervone, state attorney in the 8th Judicial Circuit. Shirk’s relationship with Corey has always been close. They campaigned for each other. Questions about their mutual admiration surfaced during the Cristian Fernandez case when Corey pushed to prosecute the 13-yearold as an adult, and Shirk reluctantly withdrew to allow Hank Coxe’s team to negotiate a sentence as a juvenile. Shirk said, in a written statement, that this was a personnel matter that he cannot publicly discuss and his family is off limits. He also wrote an apology to his wife on his personal Facebook page. “I’m so sorry for all the pain and heartache I have caused you. You mean the world to me. I hope you can forgive me. I love you more than anything in this word [sic]. You are my better half. You are [sic] SOULmate,” the post said. Yes, this soap opera has caused his family pain and heartache. But what about the pain and heartache of the three women who were fired? Of course, their feelings don’t matter. Two of them worked at Whisky River. That’s shorthand for incompetent bimbos who work at “breastaurants” in the vein of Hooters or Tilted Kilt. They must have brought this on with their good looks and loose morals, right? Wrong. That kind of blame-the-victim mentality is only outdone by blame-the-wife reasoning for a man’s infidelity. “My principles wouldn’t let me stay there,” Kelly told the Times-Union. “I could not deal with those folks [the Shirk administration] mistreating people and destroying their lives the way they did. And those three young ladies’ lives, it will affect them and their self-esteem for the rest of their lives.” And what about the pain and heartache of the more than 160 people at the Public Defender’s Office who Shirk thanked “for their dedication to public service and for making a difference in the lives of so many”? And the people who desperately need that office’s services? “I can’t work for somebody that has no ethics and no character,” Strickland told the Times-Union. “A man that could have come in and fixed this and could have taken responsibility and said ‘Look, I made some mistakes, but we’re going to make this right for everybody.’ ” The time for that has passed. Shirk beat the Democratic incumbent largely through his strong Republican Party backing for a position that should be nonpartisan. This scandal is a good opportunity to change how elections are held for these offices. Denise M. Reagan dreagan@folioweekly.com twitter.com/denisereagan

Mail Billboards an Environmental and Safety Threat

The City Council is currently considering an ordinance that would permit the new construction of billboards along Jacksonville roadways. The approval of this ordinance would directly undermine the best interests of Jacksonville voters, who in 1987 voted to ban the introduction of new billboards in Jacksonville. The construction of any billboard has a negative environmental impact by destroying the treescape lining the roadways. This reduces the amount of natural space between wildlife and the highway, which increases the likelihood of an accident occurring involving an animal. However, the proposed billboards will be electronic, which makes them an even larger environmental concern. Electronic billboards run 24 hours a day. Over the course of a year, they use more than 30 times the energy of a single household. This high amount of energy usage will be expensive, as well as environmentally costly. In addition to their potential environmental impact, electronic billboards present a safety hazard. These billboards encourage drivers to take their eyes off the road, leading to distracted driving — which was responsible for as much as 10 percent of vehicular deaths in 2011. LED lights cause a temporary vision disturbance that can cause blurred vision for up to three seconds after drivers return their gaze to the roadway. For a driver traveling at 60 mph, a standard speed for many of the roads the proposed billboards will stand along, it means that a driver may travel up to 700 feet with impaired vision as a result of the billboard’s bright lights. Jacksonville voters made a wise decision 25 years ago. City Council should reconsider ordinance 2013-493 before nullifying an amendment that was passed in the best interests of the community. I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I’ll never see a tree at all. — Ogden Nash, U.S. humorist and poet (1902-1971) Jessica Fessenden Jacksonville

A Billboard Ordinance for the Future

A considerable amount of misinformation has been tossed around recently concerning proposed legislation to regulate the billboard industry. Unfortunately, many of these myths made it into this paper’s Editor’s Note on Aug. 21 [“The Worst Driving Distraction”]. A look at the facts reveals that the proposed legislation would neither “gut” the 1987 sign referendum nor “expand existing signs.” To the contrary, the voter referendum required the removal of approximately 500 billboards; since then, the industry has removed more than 900 billboards. Additionally, the proposed legislation would not allow any more billboards in Jacksonville than currently exist today. In fact, it will actually encourage the removal of even more billboards. It was not the 1987 Charter Amendment that caused the industry to remove all those extra billboards. Rather, it was the court-approved settlement agreements — largely written by Bill Brinton and Tracey Arpen — that created the incentives for removing additional billboards. It is those agreements that have regulated our industry for the past 20 years, and it is those

agreements that have allowed sign companies to maintain and repair existing billboards, to keep billboards on local roadways, and to build a new billboard if additional ones were removed. Ordinance 2013-493 is a zoning ordinance for the future. The obligations of the settlement agreements will be ending soon, and this legislation incorporates many provisions of those agreements, as well as existing state law, to create a consistent, reasonable and fair set of zoning rules that allow for the maintenance and repairs of existing billboards, and provide incentives for removing additional ones. We look forward to having a fact-based dialogue about the proposed legislation and the future of the billboard industry in Jacksonville.

Robert E. Lee ‘an Officer and a Gentleman’

The debate over the names of schools pops up regularly across the country [“Confederate Clash,” Aug. 21], and while Nathan Bedford Forrest’s personal record is spotty at best, no such opprobrium can attach to Robert E. Lee, a man who deserved the title of “An Officer and a Gentleman” like few others in American history. He was not a slave owner and opposed secession, but just as most of his contemporaries regarded themselves as Rhode Islanders, Georgians, Texans and Ohioans, he fought for his country, Virginia. By all the accounts I’ve read, he abhorred slavery and never said anything that could not be uttered in the highest of social company. Abraham Lincoln, by contrast, regarded blacks as inferior and often stated that it was not his goal to free any slaves but preserve the Union, at all costs. He recommended a constitutional amendment to perpetuate slavery. The issue in secession was the balance of power in the Senate. Congress had been increasing tariffs, and the burden was worse for the South, which relied more on imports. Lincoln played his part as the crony for Northern industrialists who wanted to protect themselves from competition and to bleed the South for their pet projects like railroads. No one’s immune from feeding at the public trough. His Emancipation Proclamation was a public relations ploy and freed not one slave. His war against secession cost more than 640,000 American lives. Slavery was doomed anyway and was eliminated in almost every other country without any loss of life. So we unhesitatingly honor Lincoln while we question the worthiness of Robert E. Lee? Roderick T.

• On page 17 of the Aug. 21 issue, the “Blue Jasmine” review should have been rated PG-13. • On page 16 of the Aug. 28 issue, the review of “The World’s End” was missing a sentence. It should have read, “Finally, and most important, the comedy isn’t consistently funny. We laugh at some jokes, but once the story breaks from reality, the comedy falters; it’s as if writers Pegg and Frost knew how to write jokes for drunk dudes at a bar, but are less comfortable/competent when it comes to alien invasion comedy.” If you would like to respond to something that appeared in Folio Weekly, please send a signed letter (no anonymous or pseudonymous mail will be printed) along with address and phone number (for veriﬁcation purposes only) to themail@folioweekly.com or THE MAIL, Folio Weekly, 9456 Philips Highway, Ste. 11, Jacksonville FL 32256.

One is scheduled to open in Tallahassee this year. The chain, which describes itself as “your unique grocery store,” has a near cult-like following for its gourmet products and Hawaiian-shirted employees. About 80 percent of the chain’s products are its own private labels.

Man on Death Row To Be Given a New Trial

Jacob Dougan accused of wanting to start racial war with a 1974 murder

fter 38 years on Death Row, one of Jacksonville’s most notorious killers, Jacob Dougan, who prosecutors said terrorized the city with calls for a racial war, is getting a new trial. Duval Circuit Judge Jean M. Johnson vacated Dougan’s sentence and ordered a new trial on charges of first-degree murder for the stabbing and shooting death of Stephen Orlando, a white hitchhiker, on June 17, 1974. State Attorney Angela Corey’s office said it intends to appeal the judge’s July 24 ruling. This is Dougan’s fourth trip through the judicial system. He was first sentenced to death on April 10, 1975 and later resentenced on Oct. 25, 1979, and Dec. 4, 1987, after winning earlier appeals on a variety of factors, from ineffective appellate counsel to conflict of interest. “This decision does not excuse what happened in 1974 — the crime and the great sorrow. It does provide an opportunity, almost 40 years later, to resolve this case once and for all. We would like to try — again — to do that,” wrote Mark Olive, the attorney who represented Dougan in his latest appeal, in an email. Dougan, now 66, a former Eagle Scout and community leader, sits on Death Row at Union Correctional Institution in Raiford. Prosecutors allege Dougan was one of four men who picked up white hitchhiker Stephen Orlando, drove him to a secluded area in Jacksonville Beach, stabbed him with a knife and shot him twice in the head. A note, attached to Orlando’s body with the knife, read, “Warning to the oppressive state. No longer will your atrocities and brutalizing black people should go unpunished. The black man is no longer asleep. The revolution has begun and the opposed will be victorious. The revolution will end when we are free. The Black Revolutionary Army. All power to the people.” Fingerprints from some tape recordings sent to the murder victim’s relatives and local media outlets matched Dougan’s fingerprints from records of the two years he had spent in the Air Force, and he was arrested in September 1974 for Orlando’s slaying. The tapes, made a few days after the slaying, said, “Stephen A. Orlando was not murdered; he was executed and made to pay for the political crimes that have been perpetrated

upon black people. No longer will your crimes go unpunished. A revolution has begun and you are the enemy.” The tapes went on to say that more whites would be killed without mercy because of “400 years of hangings, castrations, brutalities and raping of my black people.” Judge Johnson, in her 239-page ruling, determined Dougan’s trial lawyer, Ernest Jackson, was ineffective during the guilt phase of Dougan’s trial and was having an affair with Dougan’s sister. He eventually divorced his wife and married her. He is now deceased. She is still alive. “Trial counsel essentially presented no defense,” the judge wrote. “Defendant has shown trial counsel’s errors in total were so serious as to undermine confidence in the outcome. Thus, Defendant has shown a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different.” The judge also granted relief in a claim on the number of aggravating factors versus mitigating factors for the jury to consider whether Dougan deserved the death penalty or life in prison. “A reasonable probability exists that if presented in the aggregate, the sentence may have found the balance of aggravating and mitigating circumstances do not warrant death,” the ruling stated. Dougan, who was 28 at the time of his arrest, was indicted on Sept. 26, 1974, for first-degree murder. On March 5, 1975, a jury found him guilty and recommended a death sentence by a vote of 10-2, and on April 10, Duval Circuit Judge Hudson Olliff sentenced him to death. Two of Dougan’s co-defendants, Elwood Barclay and Dwayne Crittenden, are serving life sentences in prison for Orlando’s murder; another defendant, William Hearn, testified that he was at the scene the night Orlando was killed and implicated the other men. Hearn received a 15-year sentence, but was out of prison in less than five years. Ron Word rword@folioweekly.com

The Ocala Drive-In claims to be the last drive-in theater between Central Florida and South Georgia since Jacksonville’s Playtime Drive-In went dark several years ago. Drive-ins have been slowly dying, but even more will be endangered when all mainstream, first-run films move to the digital format at the end of the year, requiring about $80,000 in upgrades. Honda launched a contest to fund the conversions for five drive-in theaters across the United States. “While this giant screen approximately 100 miles south of Jacksonville is getting plenty of votes from Florida film fans, it has competition from theaters in heavily populated urban areas that easily give them an unfair advantage,” Ed Tucker of Retrorama Collectibles wrote in an email. He writes about vintage pop culture at popretrorama.com. “The Ocala Drive-in is the only one in Florida that is part of this contest,” John E. Watzke, coowner of the Ocala theater as well as the Clay Theatre in Green Cove Springs said in a statement. “With the help of you and the people of Florida, we can preserve this great American tradition for generations to come.” People can vote once every 24 hours at projectdrivein.com and once again via text message by sending “vote20” to 444999. Voting ends Sept. 9.

DEEMABLE TECH

THE SPECKTATOR

Q: I have an iPhone 4S, and I’m wondering if I can keep the number that I already have as my own personal line and have a separate phone number that I can give out to other people. I’m wondering this because there are certain people that I wouldn’t mind giving my phone number, but when they start acting creepy I’d like to ignore them. Also, would I have to have Wi-Fi to make it work? A: Years and years ago, you could have two phone numbers on some cellphones. You would pay an extra $10 or so a month, and you would have a personal line and a professional line. Unfortunately, that no longer exists, and there’s no way to have two phone numbers on one iPhone. Well, you can buy an iPhone case from China that lets you have two SIM cards, but trust us, you don’t want to mess with it. There are a couple of options you can try to accomplish what you’re trying to do. Check out our blog at folioweekly.com/deemable and we’ll tell you how.

Clearly, the national media is never, ever going to give the Jacksonville Jaguars a break. It’s bad enough the team suffers 24/7 criticism of the coach, players, draft choices, management and fans, but now their uniforms have become the subject of national ridicule. ESPN.com recently named the Jags’ uni the worst – not only in the NFL but also MLB, NBA and NHL. While I disagree with rankings (the St. Louis Cardinals are the best ?), the article did get me thinking about the city’s other sports teams and how their team logos stack up against each other. More than 50 people, ranging from graphic designers to lawyers to reality TV junkies, who don’t know the difference between a touchdown and a home run, participated in a highly unscientific poll ranking the logos of the Axemen, Breeze, Giants, RollerGirls, Sharks and Suns, as well as FSCJ’s, JU’s and UNF’s athletic teams. Which logo was the clear winner and one that participants would be proud to wear, and which one begged the question: “Did Stevie Wonder design this?” Check out my blog at folioweekly. com/specktator for the rankings and feel free to share your thoughts.

Bouquets & Brickbats Bouquets to Riverside Arts Market Director Krysten Bennett for spearheading a recycling program at the weekly event under the Fuller Warren Bridge. RAM partnered with Conex Recycling to place four green bins to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans starting Aug. 31. “The market has always had a goal of being a green market,” Bennett said, noting the importance of its location on the St. Johns River. She cited examples such as asking vendors to use biodegradable trash bags and partnering with the St. Johns Riverkeeper on projects. “We try to leave the site spotless each week.” In September, RAM visitors can dispose of old electronics with the help of eCycle Security (bit.ly/eCycleAccepts) at the top corner of the Market near the Bike Valet. Bennett said she wants to attract vendors who sell environmentally sustainable products and launch a public composting program where visitors can dump food waste into dirt-filled bins for farmers to use and return with the empty bins the next week. Brickbats to the Fernandina Beach City Commission for refusing to fund nonprofits this year – except $10,000 given to the Amelia Island Museum of History. Officials of local nonprofits pleaded with the Commission to change its 3-2 vote. “I am asking you to be a primary stakeholder,” said Council on Aging Executive Director Janice Ancrum. Bouquets to the Jacksonville City Council Finance Committee for restoring money to the budget to keep open four of the six libraries slated to be closed and to maintain current Sunday operating hours at branches and the Main Library Downtown. It costs $1.2 million to keep open the Beaches, San Marco, University Park and Willowbranch branches and another $243,000 to maintain Sunday hours. Though it hurts to lose two libraries, the Maxville and Brentwood branches were recommended for closure in a 2011 study to decide the best use of library property. After the Finance Committee’s work is done, the full City Council will have to approve the budget – and the tax increase needed to fund it. SEPTEMBER 3-10, 2013 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 7

Hills of Pills

Has Big Pharma beat the warlords of poppy and the kings of cocaine?

hat happened to the dope business? As you roll around my turf in Police Zone I, the hardbodies who used to lean on light poles and sell heroin and crack on the up-and-up, and cock on the down-low, are nowhere to be seen. The jits (dope kiddies) who manned the lookouts and staffed the street corners — the two-legged squirrels of urban America — are getting scarce. Are law and order bursting out like azaleas in spring? Should I rename my column “Happy Chat” and move it to The Florida Times-Union? Nah. Jails and prisons, as always, are stuffed with dopers. Recently, I interviewed a defendant busted for sales and distribution. Like all junkies going cold turkey, this guy jittered around the room, his eyeballs twitching faster than olives in a drunk’s martini. Oozing that jailhouse stank of sweat, narcotics, nicotine and fear, he whimpered for drugs like a spanked puppy. The drug he craved, however, was not heroin or cocaine, but oxycodone. “Oxys,” trade name Oxycontin, and hydrocodone, trade names Vicodin and Lortab, are semisynthetic opioids that are similar chemically to morphine, codeine and heroin. They are No. 4 on the top 10 list of abused drugs, behind old faves alcohol, tobacco and marijuana, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This prisoner was 6 feet of tough guy. Even a few years ago, he would have considered pills to be mommy drugs, something to help ladies cruise through afternoons and enjoy intrigues with Mr. Palooka and Mr. Pocket Rocket while the kiddies were at school and hubby was stoking The Machine. Things have changed. First, these pills could drop a charging rhino. Oxys and hydros are only a molecule away from heroin. Forget Valium and Xanax. These newbies really pack a punch. There’s no initial rush, like you get with the needle, but they last all day. In junkie-land, that’s better living through chemistry. Second, incompetent and crooked doctors have spread like a foul fungus throughout medicine. The worst are opening “pain clinics” faster than the po-po can close them down. Why practice medicine, which is difficult, when you can scribble your sig on prescriptions all day at $150 a pop, all cash? Third, pills are cheap. Oxys and hydros are generic. Ten bucks buys you a three-month supply at Walmart. Why spend thousands a month for heroin when you can stay loaded for weeks for less than the cost of two Whoppers and a Coke? Need stimulants? Adderall and Ritalin are generic, too. Why buy an 8-ball (1/8 ounce) of crack, which costs $80 and lasts only one day? Fourth, you don’t have to buy pills from

guys wearing grilles and Glocks. Those smiling pharmacists are legit. The doctors are criminals, of course, but they’re not likely to shoot you. Too much heat. The consequences are international. Using the magical formula of low prices and high volume, Big Pharma is grabbing America’s drug dough and putting the squeeze on warlords from Bamiyan to Bogotá. No wonder the Taliban are angry. If your peasants had to scrape poppy juice off pods, cook it into bricks, haul it on donkeys while dodging Hellfire missiles, then sell it for bupkis in some crapola market in the Hindu Kush, you’d be pissed, too. The pill tsunami has, de facto, legalized heroin and cocaine equivalents. Pills are the addict’s holy grail — cheap, legal, pharmaceutically pure dope. No more needles, AIDS or heroin cut with rat poison. No more hoodlums smacking your head with bats when you can’t pay. From an armchair in the burbs, you’d think the replacement of illegal drugs with pills would devastate the criminal justice system, whose modern edifice is built on dope. Without drug arrests, Jacksonville wouldn’t need a skyscraper jail, a $350 million courthouse and $345 million per year for 1,700 boys and girls in blue and their dutiful civilian assistants. Nobody Downtown is losing any sleep, however. They know that junkies are born to be cop bait. The poor idiots take their pills out of bottles, which have a prescription on the label, and put them into baggies. This makes legal pills, like magic, illegal again! Then the mopes drive under the influence, get disorderly and act out in front of police. When jailed, even though some can produce a prescription and get the drug beef dismissed, they usually have enough add-on charges to keep the justice system at full employment, as God intended. For now, junkies who aren’t in jail are tucked away in their cribs, yammering on burner phones and watching TV instead of robbing and burgling to feed the monkey on their backs. This won’t last. Once the state puts the kibosh on the pills, this social pustule will burst. The foul exudate will run into the drains and once again transform the pleasant metropolis on the St. Johns. Into Crime City. Wes Denham Denham is the co-author of “Arrest-Proof Yourself ” and author of “Arrested, What to Do When Your Loved One’s in Jail.” You can reach him at wesdenham.com.

Fiber Threat

These knitters take to the street with nondestructive graffiti

ypically, the term “street art” evokes images of spray-painted graffiti tags on subway cars and social commentary posters wheatpasted to the sides of buildings. Over the past decade, a new form of street art has been gaining traction. It’s called yarn bombing — sometimes referred to as yarn storming, guerilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting — and utilizes colorful pieces of knitted and crocheted yarn to adorn everything from light poles to bike racks to park benches. “The idea is to transform an everyday object into something organic,” said Liz Murphy Thomas, a member of Yarn Bomb Jax and professor of digital media at Florida State College at Jacksonville, “to change a person’s perception of the object and make it more approachable.” Northeast Florida’s unofficial hub, Yarn Bomb Jax, was formed in the beginning of March to take part in One Spark. Led by Jackie Kuhn, the group of 23 crafters “bombed” inanimate objects in Hemming Plaza and on the corner of Laura and Adams streets with everything from tropical beach scenes to an octopus holding cupcakes. The group received 201 votes (0.377 percent of the total votes cast), for a purse of $942.79. Sitting around a table at A Stitch In Time, a store on University Boulevard that specializes in needlework supplies, Kuhn and seven other women made quick use of their hooks and needles to meet an upcoming deadline. Folio Weekly asked Kuhn and her group to create yarn bombings to install around Jacksonville for our Fall Arts Preview issue. Roughly a dozen crafters heeded the call and divided their efforts into five main themes: film, theater, dance, fine arts and music.

“We’re working to take the word ‘bomb’ and give it a positive connotation,” Kuhn said, while knitting a hot pink tutu to be used on the Winged Victory statue in Memorial Park. “There are three benefits of yarn bombing: a psychological value, sociological value and economic value to the city.” Texan Magda Sayeg is considered by many to be the “mother of yarn bombing.” In 2005, Sayeg knitted a blue-and-pink “cozy” for her boutique’s door handle. Today, everything from the “Charging Bull” statue near Wall Street to Pittsburgh’s Andy Warhol Bridge to an entire bus in Mexico City has gotten a textile makeover. There’s even a book written about the subject. “Yarnbombing: The Art of Knit Graffiti” by Mandy Moore and Leanne Prain, was released in 2009. “There’s this idea of high and low art,” said Murphy Thomas, who is currently working

on a video about yarn bombing for the international project, “Breaking the Walls of Graffiti,” organized by the Szczecin Academy of Art in Poland. “Yarn bombing isn’t a craft. It’s a non-destructive form of street art.” Street art is typically a male-dominated art form touting the likes of Banksy, Swoon and Blek le Rat — even Jean-Michel Basquiat got his start as an obscure graffiti artist. Yarn bombing is gaining attention as a different form of street art, where aerosol cans are traded for knitting needles and a ball of yarn. “We are the June Cleaver of street art,” said Patricia Bausch, the creator of an artist’s paint palette that was installed in the hand of one of the River Runner statues on the riverfront. She’s been crafting for 40 years. Jacksonville’s local yarn bombing group does bring to mind traditional TV moms more than, say, the RollerGirls or your quintessential

Riverside hipsters. These ladies are mostly middle-aged. They work in healthcare, education and development. One’s an aspiring Christian writer, another works at an antique mall and another is a retired lawyer. And though they don’t look the part, Yarn Bomb Jax is a band of dedicated knitters and crocheters who think colorful textile pieces will create positive vibes around Jacksonville. “Yarn is usually used for utilitarian purposes — baby blankets, scarves, etc.,” said Valerie Lanham, who is crocheting a theater mask to adorn The Lone Sailor sculpture at the Navy Memorial on the Southbank. “Once it’s released, it’s not ours anymore. It’s for the city. Letting go of your artwork is the key, because I give a piece of myself with the item.” Yarn Bomb Jax’s optimistic work has become so popular that the Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens came calling. The group has been asked to create textile pieces for the zoo’s annual Spooktacular Halloween event, as well as a tropical-themed Santa Christmas installation. When asked if these are paying gigs, Kuhn said there’s really just enough of a budget to cover acrylic yarn and other supplies. Synthetic fibers like acrylic are more durable for outside hangings. The women make an “ewwww” noise at the suggestion of using wool yarn for one of their yarn-bombing projects. “Yarn Bomb Jax represents an important contribution to the growing need for ownership and agency in the public spaces of Jacksonville,” Murphy Thomas said. “The process of yarn bombing, as opposed to other public ‘street’ art forms, presents a nondestructive tool for creating engagement and sparking discussion with the public. “It is designed to enliven, intercede and raise recognition of public space as an accessible experience for us all and to make us aware of the power we all have to shape and improve the overlooked spaces we move through every day.” Kara Pound themail@folioweekly.com

A Series of Fortunate Events

Nearly a half-century ago, a history professor started Artist Series with $15,000 and an empty theater TEST DRIVE YOUR SEATS Artist Series’ season-ticket holders pick up their tickets, exchange them and buy single tickets for family and friends. Patrons who want to purchase season tickets can see which seats are available and “test drive” them. 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sept. 18 Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, 300 W. Water St., Downtown 442-2929, artistseriesjax.org

hen Milt Russos was first hired as an American history professor at what is now Florida State College at Jacksonville in 1966, he was asked to help with the student activities program. With an empty theater and a $15,000 budget, Russos took the reins and put together what is now the leading source of professional touring productions in Northeast Florida — Artist Series. Artist Series begins its 48th season this year, marking a long journey from its humble beginnings. The lineup for the 2012-’13 season offered 35 unique public productions and nine unique school productions, for a total of 96 stage performances, according to Artist Series. Mark Andersen, a season-ticket holder of three years, said he started attending with his parents, and now even his 16-year-old son Tyler joins him for the shows. He enjoys the shows so much, he sometimes will attend more than once. “I went to see ‘Rock of Ages’ on Wednesday night, and I’m going back Sunday night again,” Andersen said last season. “I’ve been very pleased with the shows they’ve brought in.” Sarah Roy, publicist for the series, said that its seasons run like a typical school year. The shows are chosen based on which ones are doing well on Broadway, then they are brought here, where they’re typically staged at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Jacksonville.

But how did the program get to where it is today? Born and raised in the tropics of South Florida, Russos said he wasn’t really involved in anything theater-related throughout his school years, mostly just the school band. Russos moved to Jacksonville in 1966 after graduating from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in education. With not too many responsibilities and a brand-new job, he admits he was willing to take on a lot. Regardless of his lack of involvement in theater growing up, he said what went on behind the lights and the curtains is what really fascinated him. “The director of the play — or the musical — does a great job of working with those actors and the direction that they go,” Russos said. “But it’s the entire back-end business operation that … I’ve always found intriguing.” Russos took his curiosity and some prior experience from college and put together the original ideas regarding content and pricing for the series. He said they could do a lot with the $15,000 budget back then. “We did some classical artists, some chamber groups, I think we had a film series …,” Russos said. “Students could attend free, and they could buy a day ticket for $1 [for multiple shows].” The 1970s was a time of change, not only for Russos, but for the music industry as a whole. He recalled the difficulty of entering the rock business and the departure of his partner, who decided to pursue his own dreams, separate from the series. It wasn’t until the mid-1970s that the series had its first Broadway show. The series was looking for different ways to bring in a more stable revenue right around the time that the Broadway traveling industry was just beginning. “Grease” was the first Broadway production here, and it sold out. He described the production as having music then that appealed to all audiences, as it does even now. The following year, they ran “Godspell,” which also did quite well. Russos and his team continued to look at ways that they could bring in more money.

They noticed a growing trend in season tickets. Following in the footsteps of classical music and performing arts organizations, theaters across the country began offering the same amenities. In 1977, the series hosted its first full season of Broadway shows, two of which were “Bubbling Brown Sugar” and “Same Time, Next Year.” Russos admits that they were surprised with the amount of season tickets they sold in the first year, and over the next decade, they made small changes to accommodate their audiences. The next big shift occurred in 1986, when the wildly popular Broadway show “Cats” was brought to Jacksonville. Russos recalled the risks of bringing such a huge show to a city not known for its cultural diversity. “But we sold 25,000 tickets,” Russos said. “Completely sold the show out … but it was a big wake-up call, you know, to us it was like, ‘Oh my God … this is what we can do.’ ” Although not every show was a success after that, “Cats” returned five years in a row. Each time, it was hugely successful. “Today, it’s really become a great introduction to theater,” Russos said. “It’s just good entertainment.” Over the years, Russos had to deal with a lot of criticism and doubt coming from the Jacksonville community. He remembered wanting to run the “Phantom of the Opera” show for four weeks and how he received negative reactions. “The doubting Thomases come out in force. Four weeks … are you crazy?” Russos said. “Sometimes Jacksonville doesn’t have a good feeling about itself.” Show after show, the series continued to prove everyone wrong. They started selling Broadway tickets in the $30 range, and today, Russos said it’s not unusual to sell Broadway tickets for $80, and concert tickets for more than $100. Ultimately, the programming of all of the shows is up to Russos, but his staff does surveys, attends national and regional conferences and keeps up with literature and reviews of shows when they go through other cities. Scheduling is based on the routes of the shows and the availability of venues. Russos said he’s had to adapt to the area’s changing tastes, adding that the community has become much more sophisticated. Beginning in the Civic Auditorium, the series now stages productions at two primary venues: the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts and the Wilson Center for the Arts. The series has also used the Jacksonville Coliseum, which has since been demolished, The Florida Theatre and the Veterans Memorial Arena. The original $15,000 budget seems miniscule compared to today’s budget of about $10 million. As Russos explained, the revenue to operate the series comes primarily from ticket sales, service charges, advertising, sponsorships and contributions. The proceeds support the series’ educational endeavors, which include multiple summer programs. Proceeds also benefit the FSCJ Foundation, a nonprofit organization administering scholarships; it’s been the sponsor of Artist Series since 1985. Of the many shows throughout the years, three have stood out to Russos — “Walking with Dinosaurs,” “Les Miserables” and “Jersey Boys.” Though “Les Miserables” is his all-time favorite, he enjoyed the universal appeal of “Jersey Boys.” “I have … friends that have gone to see it,” Russos said, “and they say, ‘I just can’t get those songs out of my head!’ ” After nearly 50 years of being a part of the

series, Russos still resides in Jacksonville with his wife. His two children are grown and have moved to other places across the country. He said he still loves the satisfaction he feels after a successful show. “It’s always a challenge … and if I had anything that drives me, that’s probably it,” Russos said. “I’ve done it for so long, it has to be something other than, oh, you really like doing this.” On a Sunday night last season, as the sun set in Downtown Jacksonville, play-lovers of all ages gathered in the roomy lobby of the Times-Union Center. The smell of cinnamon-glazed nuts and the faint sound of 1980s rock music played in the background. The final performance of “Rock of Ages” was about to begin. The show could return in a few years, as others have, or Russos might have to find something more appropriate for coming generations. “I’ve seen so many changes in this community since I’ve been here,” Russos said. “In some respect we have to … mirror those changes.” Nicole Backus themail@folioweekly.com

CHOOSING THE SERIES Milt Russos spoke about each of the shows in Artist Series’ 48th season. “Mamma Mia!” (Oct. 18-19) “… It’s one of the most popular shows that we have presented over the years and one of the most requested shows. It continues to be very popular, and that’s why it’s coming back.” “Flashdance: The Musical” (Dec. 10-15) “Based on one of America’s most popular movies, ‘Flashdance’ has very recognizable song titles and great choreography. It’s a crowd-pleaser! Also, with the show opening in New York this fall, Jacksonville audiences will get the chance to see a new production at about the same time as [New York] audiences.” “Blue Man Group” (Jan. 21-26) “Appeals to multiple demographics. An audience favorite wherever it plays!” “War Horse” (Feb. 18-23) “Simply outstanding theater! One of the best shows I have ever seen and easily among my top 10 favorites! Winner of five Tony Awards in 2011, including Best Play.” “Memphis” (March 18-23) “It won multiple Tony Awards in 2010, including ‘Best Musical.’ Great songs and great choreography.” “Million Dollar Quartet” (April 22-27) “Based on a true story, with great music from four American music icons. The Jerry Lee Lewis character will knock your socks off!”

Movies SMURFS 2 *G@@ Rated PG At it again, the Smurfs enter the humans’ world to help Smurfette (Katy Perry) escape Gargamel (Hank Azaria). Gargamel created the Naughties to help him harness the Smurf-essence, but he learns the only way to get it is with a spell only Smurfette knows.

Escaped convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) – “wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy” in three previous movies, including one animated direct-to-DVD film – faces an alien race of predators on a sun-scorched planet and those aforementioned bounty hunters who want him dead in "Riddick," opening Sept. 6.

**@@ AMANDA BYNES *@@@ MILEY CYRUS

NOW SHOWING

2 GUNS **G@ Rated R Marcus Stigman (Mark Wahlberg) and Bobby Trench (Denzel Washington) have been working for the government for more than a year to infiltrate a dangerous drug cartel. Unwillingly, they’re forced to team up when their mission goes awry. Their respective government agencies deny their existence, so they strike back at the gangsters who want them dead. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur. BLUE JASMINE ***@ Rated PG-13 Director Woody Allen elicits a stellar performance from Cate Blanchett in his drama showcasing characters bent on self-destruction. Co-starring Alec Baldwin, Sally Hawkins and Andrew Dice Clay, who’s gotten some positive reviews for his turn in this much-ballyhooed film. CHENNAI EXPRESS ***G Not Rated A young man wants to honor his grandfather, whose last wish was to have his ashes strewn in the waters of the holy city of Rameshwaram. The Bollywood hit stars Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan. In Hindi and Tamil. CLOSED CIRCUIT *G@@ Rated R There are a lot of cameras recording 24/7 in public places all over England and a deadly terrorist attack has been caught on film. Two members of the team (Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall) defending an accused spy were once lovers, but that's not the biggest problem with this mystery/thriller – poor editing is. THE CONJURING **G@ Rated R Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and her husband Ed (Patrick Wilson) have investigated paranormal occurrences a long time, but when they get called to a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, they encounter their most horrifying case. A family desperately needs help before violent ghosts destroy them. DESPICABLE ME 2 **G@ Rated PG Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is back as a heinous villain who becomes a spy. Gru morphs from villain to dad to raise three adopted daughters, hitting the dating scene to find a suitable mom. Three Minions (voiced by co-director Pierre Coffin) again steal the whole thing. ELYSIUM ***@ Rated R The year is 2154, and Earth, where the 99 percenters live, is a mess. The air is polluted and garbage is everywhere. Meanwhile, the aristocrats live on Elysium, a circular spaceship oasis just outside Earth’s atmosphere. It’s a perfect, idyllic structure, made to look like the paradises of yesteryear. Max (Matt Damon) is planning to take down Elysium and bring

equality to Earth in the dystopian sci-fi from director Neill Blomkamp (“District 9”). FRUITVALE STATION **** Rated R It’s the true story of Oscar Grant (Oscar-worthy Michael B. Jordan) who was killed in an altercation with police at Fruitvale, a BART stop in San Francisco’s Bay Area on New Year’s Eve 2008. Grant died just as he was making resolutions to turn his life around. Co-starring Octavia Spencer and Chad Michael Murray. GETAWAY *G@@ Rated PG-13 Brent (Ethan Hawke), a former racecar driver, is forced into a mission to save his kidnapped wife. The Kid (Selena Gomez), a young hacker, is along for the ride while Brent takes orders from the unknown criminal (Jon Voight), who is watching all the action through cameras mounted on the car. THE GRANDMASTER **G@ Rated PG-13 This lush, beautifully filmed (by cinematographer Philipe Le Sourd) movie is based on the true story of Ip Man (Tony Leung), a Chinese martial arts wizard who excelled at his craft – so much so, he was Bruce Lee’s mentor and teacher. Costarring Zhang Ziyi and directed by Wong Kar Wai. In Mandarin, Cantonese and Japanese. GROWN UPS 2 G@@@ Rated PG-13 Lenny (Adam Sandler) learns crazy follows everywhere when he moves his family back to his hometown to be with friends Marcus (David Spade), Kurt (Chris Rock) and Eric (Kevin James). The four adults relive the last day of school through their kids’ experiences. JOBS **@@ Rated PG-13 The biopic examines how Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher), an entrepreneur and innovator way ahead of his time, built Apple into the most prolific company in the world. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, “Jobs” also stars Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad (as Steve Wozniak), Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine and J.K. Simmons. KICK-ASS 2 **@@ Rated R Having inspired other folks to dress like superheroes and fight crime, Dave/Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is bored. Mindy/Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) promises her guardian (Morris Chestnut) she’ll behave, so Dave’s on his own. He looks for a vigilante group to join. Born-again Christian Col. Stars & Stripes (Jim Carrey) is happy to have Kick-Ass, Dr. Gravity (Donald Faison), Night Bitch (Lindy Booth) and Battle Guy (Clark Duke) dispatching justice. The bond is tested when Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), aka Red Mist, takes on a new archvillain persona – The Motherfucker – and forms an injustice league to take down Kick-Ass. THE LAST FLIGHT OF THE CHAMPION Rated PG Neddie wants to fight an evil power-mad leader out to

enslave the populations on free planets. He’s a short fella, though, and so can't be part of the official forces at war with General Disdain. So, he rallies his buds to get the job done. The tepid animated comedy co-stars Kevin Charles and Luci Christian. LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER **@@ Rated PG-13 Forest Whitaker plays Cecil Gaines, the White House butler who served U.S. presidents over three decades, witnessing many of the 20th century’s biggest moments. The all-star cast runs deep with James Marsden as John F. Kennedy, Minka Kelly as Jackie Kennedy, Alan Rickman as Ronald Reagan, Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan, John Cusack as Richard Nixon and Robin Williams as Dwight Eisenhower. Really? Ike is Robin Williams? Also starring Oprah Winfrey, Mariah Carey, Vanessa Redgrave, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard and Liev Schreiber. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY ***@ Rated G Pixar’s fairly nifty prequel shows how lovable monsters Mike Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan (John Goodman) met at college. Co-starring John Ratzenberger, Steve Buscemi, Nathan Fillion and Helen Mirren. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES **@@ Rated PG-13 This fantasy-adventure film co-stars Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jemima West and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (aka Henry the Eighth). ONE DIRECTION: THIS IS US G@@@ Rated PG OMG! Niall, Zayn, Liam, Louis and that scamp Harry sing to a massive crowd on the edge of complete hysteria at the O2 Arena in London. We see their incredible leap into the white-hot spotlight as the lads succeed beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. PARANOIA *G@@ Rated PG-13 Corporate espionage, jillion-dollar deals and high-tech geniuses abound in this tepid thriller co-starring Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Liam Hemsworth and Amber Heard. PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS **@@ Rated PG The sequel opens with Percy (Logan Lerman), Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario) and Grover (Brandon T. Jackson) at Camp Half-Blood, the only place where demigods can live in peace. Or so they think. They’re forced to recover the Golden Fleece, which is located in – you guessed it – the Sea of Monsters (aka the Bermuda Triangle). PLANES **@@ Rated PG Watching this Disney movie, you quickly realize you liked it better the first and second times you saw it when it was called “Cars,” then “Cars 2.” “Planes” was made by DisneyToon Studios, which ordinarily works on straight-tovideo sequels such as “Tarzan II” and “Cinderella III: A Twist in Time.” The film, only moderately and occasionally funny, does offer a nice message of believing you can do more than what you think you’re capable of, but “Planes” sputters when it needs to soar. R.I.P.D. *G@@ Rated PG-13 Hotshot detective Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) was killed in the line of duty, so he’s eligible to join the Rest in Peace Department. New partner Roy (Jeff Bridges) is a veteran sheriff with a knack for spotting a fugitive soul in disguise. RIDDICK Rated R • Opens Sept. 6 Escaped convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left for dead – you know how that usually goes – and faces an alien race of predators and bounty hunters who want him dead in the franchise that started with 2000’s “Pitch Black.” Co-starring Karl Urban and Jordi Molla. Directed by David Twohy.

THE SPECTACULAR NOW **** Rated R This film, directed by James Ponsoldt, captures the experience of being a teenager with exquisite honesty and grace. Unlikely couple Sutter (Miles Teller) and Aimee (Shailene Woodley) are real people with real problems, leading lives of hardship, awkwardness and angst. TURBO **@@ Rated PG Theo, a garden snail (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) suffers a freak accident that turns fortunate – he might now be so fast, he could win the Indy 500. Co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Hader, Snoop Lion and Maya Rudolph. THE ULTIMATE LIFE Rated PG • Opens Sept. 6 Jason Stevens (Logan Bartholomew) faces lawsuits from his extended family while running his grandfather’s foundation. His beloved Alexia (Ali Hills) departs on a mission trip to Haiti. Jason discovers his grandfather’s journal and is transported to 1941, where he is reminded of the truly important things in life. Co-starring Peter Fonda and Bill Cobbs. Directed by Michael Landon Jr. THE WAY, WAY BACK ***G Rated PG-13 Duncan (Liam James) is a 14-year-old too awkward to fit in until he meets a few adults who bring him into adulthood. After his mom drags him away from home to live at her boyfriend’s beach house for the summer, he begins working at a waterpark. Here Duncan meets some folks who help him be less of an outcast during the roughest teenage years and transform him into a man. WE’RE THE MILLERS ***@ Rated R Small-time drug dealer David (Jason Sudeikis) uses the “perfect family” façade after he’s offered $100,000 to bring back “a little bit” of weed from Mexico. The perfect family includes stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), likable latchkey teenager Kenny (Will Poulter) and homeless teen Casey (Emma Roberts). Sudeikis delivers great one-liners and Aniston unfurls another edgy/sexy/funny performance in the same vein as her role in “Horrible Bosses.” THE WOLVERINE ***@ Rated PG-13 Logan (Hugh Jackman) learns that being a warrior without a cause isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. When he gets called to Japan, he begins a journey to face his own mortality. THE WORLD’S END **@@ Rated R In this British comedy, one man fondly recalls a pub crawl but his mates hold it in considerably less esteem. Twenty years ago, Gary (Simon Pegg), Ollie (Martin Freeman), Pete (Eddie Marsan), Steve (Paddy Considine) and Andy (Nick Frost) attempted to down a pint of ale at each of the 12 pubs in a one-mile stretch of town. They didn’t finish the run and now Gary wants to make it right. The problem? Alien robots have taken over the bodies of the townspeople. WORLD WAR Z **@@ Rated PG-13 Aggressive zombies are multiplying fast. 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. YOU’RE NEXT ***G Rated R A happy family reunion becomes a violent crime and then a case of serious counterattack in this thriller, directed by Adam Wingard.

There’s no doubt FAX YOUR PROOF IF POSSIBLE AT 268-3655 the decade that brought us the Yugo, parachute pants and “popped” collars is back, but I’m finding that’s not such a bad thing. In retrospect, there were many good things about the ’80s — rattailsRep and pegged Produced by KL Checked by Sales RE pants notwithstanding — and SUPPORT ASK FOR ACTION it seems Wesley Eisold, the creative force behind the band Cold Cave, has turned digging for those things into an art form. In fact, the word “band” is not quite right for what Cold Cave is. Experiment is more appropriate. From the homemade grittiness of the early Cold Cave EPs to 2011’s full-length and fully realized “Cherish the Light Years,” Eisold is clearly discovering his sound as he goes, creating a sort of stream of consciousness set to dark, new-new wave noise rock. Everything Eisold does seems to have an experimental air about it: from his publishing venture, Heartworm Press, where he publishes what he calls “overlooked” writers, to his enlisting the professional provocateur Boyd Rice as tour mate. Rice became a media curiosity in the ’80s after appearing in an issue of Sassy magazine with notorious neo-Nazi leader Bob Heick. He is also a musician — of sorts — recording and performing noise rock under various monikers, including NON and Death in June. Since the late ’70s, Rice has also been thumbing his nose at squares and subverting conventions in mostly humorous ways. Representative example: his magazine Modern Drunkard, a bi-monthly publication with a strong Internet presence, including an archive of articles with titles such as “Diary of a Dipsomaniac” and “Do You Want to Get Fired?” Asked about his choice in Rice as tour mate, Eisold is matter-of-fact: “We’ve worked together © 2006 for years.folioweekly I produced some songs on his last album and released a few of his books. He played with Cold Cave and wanted to play the Eno role to our Roxy Music.” As Cold Cave rises in critical stature, Eisold seems to be making a point of grave-digging overlooked talent from the ’80s as he ascends. London May of Glen Danzig’s transitionalbut-influential band Samhain, is another good example. And for his current tour, Eisold has dug up Douglas J. McCarthy, former member of ’80s industrial heavyweight Nitzer Ebb. But Cold Cave, the band (or experiment), does not suffer from Eisold’s necromancy. The sound that rises from his conjuring is complex,

dark and appealing. It’s just experimental enough to be interesting without sacrificing musicality. Bowie’s less-poppy stuff or early The Cure comes to mind. Vocally, Peter Murphy and Nick Cave are fair comparisons. The son of a career Navy dad, Eisold grew up all over, even spending some of the early ’90s in Jacksonville. “I lived in Mayport for a couple of years. I loved it. Growing up in a military family, you never knew where you would end up, so moving to the beach where there was lots of counterculture, skating, punk, etc. … seemed like a godsend.” Eisold landed in Boston as a young man and got involved in the huge hardcore/straightedge scene there, hooking up with local heroes Blood for Blood, Ten Yard Fight and In My Eyes. He spent some time as a roadie, and eventually formed a band with some friends: American Nightmare (later renamed Give Up the Ghost). They were well-received, signed to Equal Vision Records (founded by legendary vegan/Krishna guru Ray Cappo) and built a solid reputation. Then, it gets fuzzy. Being a Navy brat, Eisold seems to default to moving to a new town whenever things aren’t working out. Boston, San Diego, Richmond — even Walla Walla, Wash. — before settling in Philadelphia. But in Philly the plot thickens. While living there, Eisold discovered that Paul Wentz of Fall Out Boy had availed himself of some of his American Nightmare lyrics for their album “Infinity On High.” They settled out of court. Financially flush and tired of putting lyrics to other people’s music, Eisold started his own band and, in 2007, Cold Cave was born. They’ve toured a couple times since their inception in Philly and, since many of the transitory band members live in New York, the band has since uprooted and transplanted there. The Meaningful Life Tour kicked off Aug. 2 in Brussels, Belgium, and comes to Jacksonville Sept. 10 at Jack Rabbits. When asked if he’s looking forward to being in Europe this summer, Eisold seems casually excited. “I’ve been a few times with Cold Cave, but it’s been a couple of years now … and I lived in Germany for a few years in the ’90s. Everything is really intimate all of a sudden. It feels like I’m hand-delivering the music at this point. I just played in China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Nepal, all over the U.S. and Russia. … I’ve got plenty to write about after that.” Steve Lambert themail@folioweekly.com

DREAMETTE OF CALLAHAN ICE CREAM SHOPPE 450077 S.R. 200, Ste. 19, Callahan 879-2224, facebook.com/DreametteOfCallahan

ince 1948, a rite of passage for generations of Northeast Florida natives has included a summer afternoon spent indulging in a frosty treat from the historic Murray Hill fixture Dreamette. With basic flavors of creamy soft-serve ice cream — vanilla, sugar-free vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (and yes, you can ask for a good ol’ swirl) — the possibilities quickly become endless as you decide from among sundaes, shakes, cones, cups, banana splits and beyond. Dream up something crazy, like a cotton candy milkshake, or play it safe with a traditional favorite, like a hot fudge sundae. A unique take on the traditional banana split is the banana split in a cup: slices of banana meet chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, strawberries, pineapple chunks, walnuts and a cherry. Dreamette uses real pieces of Oreo cookies (instead of pre-crushed) to blend in the Oreo milkshake and real blueberries in the blueberry shake. Great ingredients equal great flavor.

cake-batter dip or, as the temperature cools, I prefer butterscotch or toasted coconut to encase my vanilla soft-serve. The cones are served in a clever plastic sleeve that attempts to catch those pesky drips from ruining your day — and shirt. But if you take too long to enjoy the cool delight (especially in summer), you may lose the battle of the drip. Dreamette is all about the experience. While there are a few small benches to sit on, most people roll down their windows and enjoy their frosty treat in the comfort of their cars. Many neighborhood regulars ride bikes; still others walk up. There’s always a varied cast of characters and a handful of seemingly sugardeprived eager children. Open seven days a week, Dreamette ensures no ice cream craving goes unfulfilled. Be sure to snag a buy-10-get-one-free punch card. Be advised: Bring a wad of cash, because your credit card’s no good here.

Optimism for the Jaguars, again

n recent years, it’s been hard to muster up real enthusiasm for the on-field prospects of the Jacksonville Jaguars. That’s not to say fans have not been loyal; even through seasons with many more losses than wins, the team has drawn at the box office, by and large avoiding blackouts. The same will hold true this year for all seven of the team’s home games in Jacksonville. Despite this, the national media has routinely lambasted Jacksonville and its fans. The team is subpar, they say, and the town isn’t worthy of being an NFL city. And every time Shad Khan looks at a road atlas, someone seems to have a blog post or a column saying he’s going to move the team. We saw it most recently when Khan bought the Fulham club in the English Premier League; certainly, went the logic, he’s going to move the Jaguars to London. How stale is that line of thought in 2013? How broken is that logic? Given that Khan in his short tenure has seemed more involved with the franchise than Wayne Weaver ever was, and that he’s gone to great lengths to improve the stadium — everything from the public-private partnership for the scoreboards to the locker room and training facility upgrades — it seems ridiculous to play the “Jags Are Moving” card at this late date. Not to mention Khan’s interest in The Shipyards and other Downtown properties similarly belies that meme. The fact is, Khan didn’t buy an NFL team so that it would lose 10 games a year for the next decade. Maybe change isn’t coming quickly enough for some Jags fans, but what we are seeing is a concerted effort to remove the stench of defeat from EverBank Field and replace it with something we haven’t whiffed in a long time: the sweet smell of success. There are many reasons for optimism as the team enters the regular season. Improved offensive line: It’s been a long time since the Jaguars have had two tackles as good as Eugene Monroe and Luke Joeckel. We have to go back to the old days, when Coughlin prowled the sidelines and Mark Brunell stood behind center, to find a comparable duo — Leon Searcy and Tony Boselli. I’m not ready to anoint the new tandem as the equivalents of those legends; what I am seeing, however, is that Jaguars quarterbacks (Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne both) have had the time to make reads and quality throws without having to fear blindside ambushes of the kinds that just ended

JAWING ABOUT JAGUARS Jump into the conversation at folioweekly.com/sportstalk.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Kevin Kolb’s career. Offensive playmakers: Time was when we could count on the Jaguars having a bunch of receivers who were well over 6 feet tall, who lacked real speed, quickness and the ability to make plays and pick up yards after the catch. Remember Ernest Wilford, Reggie Williams and Matt Jones? Not a lot of elusiveness there. Today’s roster is chock-full of exciting talent – wide receiver Ace Sanders, offensive weapon Denard Robinson and running back Jordan Todman, to name three. The days of stolid, slow Jaguars attacks will be as forgotten as the John Peyton administration. And not a moment too soon. Blaine Gabbert: I have some confidence in him — certainly, more than in previous campaigns. In part, because of his weapons. Justin Blackmon might be a knucklehead off the field; on the field, though, he has the most talent of any wide receiver I’ve seen in the teal-and-black. Cecil Shorts III is the player the Jaguars’ brain trust had hoped Mike Thomas would become, but never quite did. Marcedes Lewis and Maurice JonesDrew are still on the roster and still dangerous. And maybe it’s just my Pollyanna attitude again, but I think he’s projecting more maturity. The real test? A tight game, during a playoff race. Will Gabbert lead the Jags to the Promised Land? Defense: The defense wasn’t working last year, and components have been sent packing. Rashean Mathis is now in Detroit, where it seems all former Jaguars go to finish their career — since the Lions hired James “Shack” Harris in their front office. Derek Cox is in San Diego, where he’ll try to be the No. 1 corner the team otherwise would lack. During the preseason, the Jags have put a lot more pressure on the quarterback than at any point last year. How much do I believe in this squad? I have the defense starting in my fantasy league — and it’s not a 30-team league. I believe in Sen’Derrick Marks. I believe in Gus Bradley. I believe this team might actually be fun to watch. Don’t quote me if they lose three in a row, though; in fact, maybe you shouldn’t quote me at all.

NewsNews of theof the Weird Weird Unorthodox Drag Queen

The conflicted double life of Israeli Orthodox Jew Shadar Hadar, 34, might be as formidable to manage as that of an international spy. Though deeply and defiantly religious, he typically around midnight “trades his knitted white yarmulke” for a “wavy blond wig and pink velvet dress” and takes the stage as a nascent drag queen, according to an August Associated Press dispatch from Jerusalem. His gayness has alienated his ex-wife (who bars him from seeing their daughter, now 11) and is only grudgingly accepted by his parents. As a bridge of sorts in his life, he has rejected the usual raunchy drag queen personas and adopted instead that of a female rabbinic adviser, musing from the stage on optimistic teachings of Breslov Hasidic ultra-Orthodox Judaism.

Stadium Debt Cautionary Tale

Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium, whose construction was financed in 1964 by borrowing $25 million (and untold more as part of a subway expansion to service the stadium), was demolished in 2004 and is but a memory to the city’s sports fans. However, nine years later, the city is still paying for it (though next year will retire the $25 million bond and nine years from now, the city hopes, will retire the stadium/ subway bond). The city’s deputy controller told PhillyMag.com in June, profoundly, “When issuing a bond to build a facility, the debt payment on that bond should not outlast the facility.”

Driver’s License Line Lunacy

The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety’s solution to its legendary long lines at driver’s license stations was to create “In Line Online” registration, which it introduced recently. Online registrants were beside themselves, however, when they arrived on time across

42 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2013

the state, only to learn that In Line Online merely entitled them to a reserved place in the line for making future appointments to take their driver’s test. A spokesman acknowledged In Line Online might have some kinks and thus would be closed temporarily.

Parking Ticket Patience

Toronto is facing such a crippling backlog of challenges to parking tickets, reported the Toronto Star in August, that more than 73,000 citations from last year were still unresolved and many cases were proceeding even less hurriedly. Mahmood-Reza Arab, a computer programmer ticketed for parking too close to a hydrant in 2005, has dutifully met all deadlines for making a proper challenge; he was recently scheduled (again) for trial before a judge — this month, September 2013. A spokesman said the “normal” wait time for a court date is “only” 18 months.

How Officers Measure Up

Notwithstanding the city of Detroit’s various problems, residents still expect its police force to behave sensibly, but in July, a police commander’s office blundered, releasing to all officers a document concerning an order of form-fitting bulletproof vests. Each individual officer’s height and weight were on the email, but so were female officers’ bra cup sizes (which were initially necessary to assure body-armor fit so as not to restrict mobility — but obviously were no one else’s business).

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “No regrets? Really?” asks author Richard Power. “I have regrets. They’re sacred to me. They inform my character. They bear witness to my evolution. Glimpses of lost love and treasure are held inside of them; like small beautiful creatures suspended in amber.” He advises: “Do not avoid your regrets. Embrace them. Listen to their stories. Hold them to your heart when you want to remember the price you paid to become who you truly are.” (More by Richard Power: tinyurl.com/RichardPower.) TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Urbandictionary. com says the newly coined word “orgasnom” is the ecstatic feeling you have as you eat delectable food. It’s derived from “orgasm.” According to my astrological omen-reading, you’re in a great position to have some orgasmic-like breakthroughs next week, along with orgasaurals, orgasights and orgasversations – deep thrills resulting from blissful sounds, rapturous visions and exciting conversations. You may experience several kinds of beautiful delirium. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were about to run a long-distance race, you wouldn’t eat a dozen doughnuts, right? If you were planning to leave your native land and live in Ethiopia for a year, you wouldn’t learn how to speak Chinese a month before you left, right? Be smart about preparations made in the weeks ahead. It’s time to prime yourself for adventures in self-expression to bloom late September and October. What is it you want to create then? What would you like to show the world about you? CANCER (June 21-July 22): The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land, the foundation of the most politically powerful nation on the planet. Yet, when it went into effect in 1789, it was only 4,543 words long – about three times the length of this column. The Bill of Rights, enacted in 1791, added a mere 462 words. By contrast, India’s Constitution is 117,000 words, more than 20 times longer. If you create a new master plan for yourself in the months ahead, a compact version like America’s will be just right. You need diamond-like lucidity, not sprawling guesswork. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There are two scientific terms for tickling. “Knismesis” refers to a soft, feathery touch that may be mildly pleasurable. can be used to display adoring tenderness. The © It2013 heavier, deeper kind of tickling is called “gargalesis.” If playfully applied to sensitive anatomy parts, it provokes laughter. Planetary alignments say both of these are rich metaphors in the days ahead. Be extra alert for opportunities to symbolically tickle and be tickled. An allegory: If you do the knismesis thing beneath the snout of a great white shark, you can hypnotize it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In his “Song of the Open Road,” Walt Whitman wrote lyrics that may provide you with just the right spark. Even if you’re not going on a literal journey on a big wide highway, you’re at least going to do the metaphorical equivalent. “Henceforth I ask not good fortune – I myself am good fortune,” said Uncle Walt. “Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing. Strong and content, I travel the open road.” LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mystical poet St. John of the Cross (1542-’91) was one of Spain’s greatest writers, but at a cost to him. When he was 35, a rival religious group imprisoned him 44 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | SEPTEMBER 4-10, 2013

for his mildly heretical ideas. He spent nine months in a 10-foot-by-6-foot cell, starved, beaten and tortured. It was there he composed his most renowned poem, “Spiritual Canticle.” Are you inspired? Maybe you’re in a tough situation now. It’s not even one percent as tough as St. John’s, though. If he could squeeze brilliance out of his lot, so can you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921) traveled widely and wrote 23 books. “I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think,” he stated, “all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” Make that longing for abundance your rallying cry for the next two weeks. According to my astrological omen-analysis, you have a cosmic mandate to push to the limit – and sometimes beyond – to satisfy your quest to be, see and do all you love to be, see and do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Punk icon Henry Rollins did an interview with Marilyn Manson, rock and roll’s master of the grotesque. It’s on YouTube. The comments section under the video are rife with spite and bile toward Manson, driving one fan to defend her hero. “I love Marilyn Manson so much that I could puke rainbows,” she testified. You need to tap into that kind of love in the days ahead: fierce, intense, devotional, yet playful, funny and exhilarating. You don’t have to puke rainbows, though – maybe just spit them. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Want to know a secret? I talk less crazy to Capricorns than I do the other signs. I tone down my wild-eyed, goddess-drunk shape-shifting a bit. I rarely ask you to wear animal costumes and dance with fairy folk in the woods, and I never suggested you fall in love with an alien, angel or deity. So what’s my problem? Don’t you feel taboo urges and illicit impulses now and then? Like everyone else, don’t you periodically need to slip away from habitual grooves and tamper with conventional wisdom? Sure you do. That’s why I repeal my excess caution. Get out and be as uninhibited as you dare. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Germany’s Ostwall Museum displayed a conceptual installation by artist Martin Kippenberger. Valued at $1.1 million, it was called “When It Starts Dripping from the Ceiling,” in part a rubber tub painted to appear as if it had once held dirty rainwater. One night at the closed museum, a new janitor came in to tidy up. She scrubbed the rubber tub until it was “clean,” damaging the art. Let this be a cautionary tale. It’s important to appreciate and learn from messy stuff in your life – even admire its artistry – and not just assume it needs to be scoured and disinfected. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her novel “White Oleander,” Janet Fitch suggests beauty is something to be used, “like a hammer or a key.” Your assignment: Find practical ways to make your beauty work for you. Invoke it to win friends and influence people. Put it into action to drum up new opportunities and hunt down provocative invitations. Don’t say you possess insufficient beauty to do these things. You have more than enough. To see why I’m so sure, shed ugly definitions of beauty you’ve unconsciously absorbed from our warped culture. Rob Brezsny freewillastrology@freewillastrology.com

Backpage Editorial

Why Forrest High School’s Name Must Change It’s insulting to Jacksonville’s black community – as it should be to the entire community

amelle Bouie on the Nation website wrote, “What do we tell generations, especially black generations, about those great pioneers, living and dead, who impacted history and the civil rights movement and made a difference and who continue to make a difference? Public schools teach the basics of slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction and the civil rights movement, but there’s no attempt to go deeper with the material, and move away from the notion that racism is something reserved for the Bull Connors and Klansmen of the world.” After giving a Black History Month speech in Orlando, I was asked during a questionand-answer period, “Is it true there is a school in Jacksonville named for Nathan Bedford Forrest, the founder of the Ku Klux Klan?” I said yes and proceeded to discuss the “whys” of such an insulting and racist political decision. Prior to the school’s opening in 1959, many Jacksonville organizations suggested names for a new school to be voted on at a school © 2013 board meeting. After many ballots, “Nathan Bedford Forrest High School,” suggested by the Daughters of the Confederacy, won. Who was Nathan Bedford Forrest, you ask? Try this: Confederate States general, founder of the Ku Klux Klan, first imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, Fort Pillow butcher and a slave trader. What is even more reprehensible is Jacksonville is one of only two cities in the country with schools that bear his name. The other city is his hometown of Chapel Hill, Tenn. Almost 50 years later, when the Duval County School Board could have righted that horrific wrong, it declined. College professor Lance Stoll and his students petitioned the Duval County School Board to change the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest High School. On Nov. 4, 2008, USA Today reported the story: “A Florida School Board voted late Monday night to keep the name of a Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader at a majority black high school, despite opposition from a black School Board member who said the school’s namesake was a ‘terrorist and racist.’ ” By a vote of 5-2, five white members of the Duval County School Board voted to keep the name; the two “no” votes came from the two black members, Betty Seabrooks Burney and Brenda Priestly Jackson (my niece). What defining achievements or contributions by Forrest demonstrated he was worthy of having a high school in Jacksonville named in his honor? What a blatant insult to the black community. Was Forrest a racist? Yes,

an obviously violent racist. Were those School Board members who voted to keep the name racists? Some say yes, some say no. I can’t help but wonder what were the “yes” voters thinking when they made their “Southern heritage” decision. Notwithstanding Jacksonville as a city in Northern Florida with a racist past, sometimes doing the right thing extends beyond the bounds of politics. Dress it up any way you want, terrorist groups like the Klan still represent hatred and violence perpetrated on blacks before, during and after the Civil War, and today. A description of the Fort Pillow Massacre from Harper’s Weekly (April 30, 1864): “On the 12th April, the rebel General Nathan Bedford Forrest appeared before Fort Pillow, near Columbus, Kentucky, attacking it with considerable vehemence. This was followed up by frequent demands for its surrender, which were refused by Major Booth, who commanded the fort. The fight was then continued up until 3 p.m., when Major Booth was killed, and the rebels, in large numbers, swarmed over the entrenchments. Up to that time, comparatively few of our men had been killed; but immediately upon occupying the place, the rebels commenced an indiscriminate butchery of the whites and blacks, including the wounded. Both white and black were bayoneted, shot, or sabered; even dead bodies were horribly mutilated, and children of seven and eight years, and several Negro women killed in cold blood. Soldiers unable to speak from wounds were shot dead, and their bodies rolled down the banks into the river. The dead and wounded Negroes were piled or wounded. Out of the garrison of six hundred, only two hundred remained alive. Three hundred of those massacred were Negroes; five were buried alive. Six guns were captured by the rebels, and carried off, including two 10-pound Parrotts, and two 12-pound Howitzers. A large amount of stores was destroyed or carried away.” Historians, and those who are Southern apologists disguised as Southern Heritage preservationists, always conveniently forget Forrest was a slave owner and a slave trader, where he simply peddled human flesh. By virtue of the fact that Jacksonville is one of 32 National Football League cities in this country should make the city’s leadership understand leadership. It is unfathomable that this execrably racist and insulting decision to name a school for Forrest should still warrant discussion today. It is tremendously insulting to Jacksonville’s black community — as it

should be to the entire community — that there is a school in Jacksonville named for one of the founders of the Klan. Yet over the years, Jacksonville’s leadership has not demanded a name change. It is also one of the reasons that some refuse to include Jacksonville and the word “progressive” in the same sentence. After it was founded, the Ku Klux Klan’s numbers increased dramatically, as did the number of lynchings of blacks in the South. In 1924, the Klan had 4 million members. It also controlled the governorship and a majority of the state legislature in Indiana, as well as exerting a powerful political influence in Arkansas, Oklahoma, California, Georgia, Oregon and Texas. Those whites who would argue the Klan was just an “organization protecting states’ rights” simply ignore the obvious. The Ku Klux Klan was a terrorist organization whose main objective was to keep former slaves on plantations to work as cheap labor, to incite fear, promote violence and maintain white supremacy in the South. It has been estimated that between 1880 and 1920, an average of two blacks a week were lynched in the United States. In 1884, Ida Wells, civil rights activist and editor of Free Speech, a small newspaper in Memphis, and one of the pioneer crusaders against lynching, discovered during her investigation that within a relatively short period, 728 black men and women had been lynched by white mobs. So while the South fawns over commemorating the Civil War and slavery during the next few years, and rehashing the plaudits of a racist war, America is conspicuously silent. Then you have those whites and blacks who say discussing issues about the Civil War and slavery are not worth the energy. I vehemently beg to differ. You cannot whitewash American history to ignore the inhumane treatment of Africans as slaves by the founding fathers. If you were black, would you want to attend a school if you knew in advance the namesake of the school founded the Ku Klux Klan and massacred women and children? It was an insult then; it is an insult now. There is an African proverb that says, “Until the lion tells his side of the story, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. I am tired of the hunter always telling the story of the hunt his way.” Racism is taught. When will we unlearn racism? Rodney Lawrence Hurst Sr.
