FROM THE FR FROM E EDITOR EDITOR

THE JACKSONVILLE WAY So what if it DOESN’T MAKE SENSE?

WE HAVE OUR VERY OWN WAY OF DOING things in Cowford.

Sometimes this works in our favor.

Football team can’t score a winning record?

Fans’ll keep coming back if you give ’em the NFL’s only in-stadium pool and the baddest scoreboards this side of the galaxy. Sure, we’d rather win the division, but the Carnivàlemeets-football experience is good ’nuff.

It doesn’t have to make sense to outsiders.

It’s the Jacksonville way.

Take the pension fix, for example. (Though ‘fix’ is a strong word for ‘delayed payments.’)

The April 6 presentation of the mayor’s plan to city council left just about every thinking person thinking the same thing: W.T.F. As in, WTF sense does it make to kick the can down the road again when that’s exactly how we got in this mess in the first place? And WTF are the formulas they used to project the future revenue of the sales tax? Or population growth? How much it will cost to reinstate those sweet pension bennies that were 86’d in the 2015 negotiations? How much coin would the closed pension funds have earned if we’d kept paying into them as scheduled?

All great questions, sure. All questions the mayor would probably answer in some incredibly vague, kinda scolding way. Case in point: When repeatedly asked about his administration’s lack of transparency in this process, Lenny Curry sniped back a series of responses that essentially amounted to: “How transparent are deez nuts?”

There’s a lot we don’t know about how his administration reached its conclusions, and media, well-intended as many may be, have been approaching the pension situation with velveteen kid gloves instead of fightin’ dukes, ’cause, quite frankly, it’s a nightmare to cover.

A lot of us can hardly define ‘actuary,’ let alone understand that actuaries are about as likely to agree on financial projections as a lakeful of alligators concur on who gets the largest share of tasty tourist.

Time will tell, but the smart money’s on a few city councilmembers rattling their dentures at the mayor’s office and voting for his plan anyway, of course after they’re reassured that their pet projects will get a nice slice of that budget pie.

Deferring payments may not be the best way to pay down nearly $3 billion of pension debt. But it’s the Jacksonville way.

AS LONG AS WE’RE ON THE SUBJECT OF things that just don’t make any damn sense, let’s dip a toe into the dredging project. For years, JaxPort has been whining and crying and pissing and moaning about how they need to get some deeper water already. The

presupposition is that if we don’t dredge 13 miles of the St. Johns River from 40 to 47 feet, the port (a public asset, by the way) will lose future business. Which, to hear them tell it, is guaran-damn-teed, m’kay.

But the overwhelming weight of evidence suggests that, dredge or not, JaxPort is never, ever going to be in a position to compete with Savannah or Charleston for cargo. Not to mention the fact that we don’t have the money to dredge. Not to mention that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers didn’t conduct a multi-port analysis because it didn’t foresee Jacksonville capturing a greater market share. Or that the projections of an economic windfall and jobs, jobs, jobs seem to 1) ignore that ports are increasingly automated; 2) be based on questionable, potentially erroneous, numbers; 3) not take into account lost value of the river itself caused by dredging; and 4) that there are other ways to grow the port business that don’t involve the largest container ships and a roughly billion-dollar investment.

Yet the port pursues its mission of dredging to 47 feet unabated. Sure, it’s financially and environmentally irresponsible.

But, hey, it’s the Jacksonville way. So we’re in with both feet first.

NOWHERE WAS THE JACKSONVILLE WAY ON finer display than at the protest of the Syrian bombings in Hemming Park on Friday night.

William “Gary” Snow Jr. is a well-known counter-protester. I’ve personally seen him get all up close and personal with protesters with whom he disagreed. Loud, annoying to a fault, and determined to drown out the message of anyone he disagrees with, his M.O. is essentially to walk right up to the line of the law, no matter how disruptive.

In these situations, police are privileged to create a small geographic separation between protest and counter-protest to allow both sides to enjoy their First Amendment rights, while avoiding situations pretty much exactly like what happened. Snow was allowed to harangue Friday night’s protesters without exception until it was too late.

In the aftermath of an incident that involved numerous camera angles showing cops beating civilians, including a young, deaf African-American man who was briefly hospitalized for his injuries, we all got to see our city splashed across international headlines. Which probably isn’t how anyone wanted to spend the weekend.

Most of us were disappointed in our city, but not particularly surprised by what went down. We’re used to it. It’s the Jacksonville way.

For more than 20 years, the Japanese psychedelic rock band Acid Mothers Temple & the Melting Paraiso UFO have been creating some truly mind-expanding music on both the stage and studio. Their sound draws heavily on late ’60s/early ’70s brain-dissolving acts like Guru Guru, Gong, Faust, Amon Düül II and various other fellow prog/psych groups.

THE MAIL HOUSING DISCRIMINATION CONTINUES

FORTY-NINE YEARS AGO THIS MONTH, ON April 11, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the federal Fair Housing Act, which prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, handicap and family status.

This important law also made it unlawful for a housing provider to make, print or publish any statement or advertisement providing for a preference based on these classes.

Every April, people across the United States are encouraged to learn more about their rights and responsibilities under the Act as a part of National Fair Housing Month. This year’s theme– “Fair Housing Equals Opportunity”–reminds us that all citizens are entitled to the same fair housing rights when seeking to rent, own, buy or insure a home and they’re free to take action if they suspect discrimination.

The Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) is your state agency charged with investigating cases of housing discrimination. Last year alone, the FCHR investigated more than 200 cases where housing discrimination was alleged.

Even with the passage of the ’68 federal act and the Florida Fair Housing Act in 1983, discrimination in housing still persists. The top five bases of discrimination are (from most to least): disability, race, national origin, familial status and sex.

As executive director of the commission, I often have the opportunity to inform people that they have the power to fight housing discrimination. If they feel they have been discriminated against, they should contact either the FCHR, a local fair housing center or the U.S. Housing & Urban Development as the first step in this process.

Remember, “Fair Housing Equals Opportunity.”

While unlawful discrimination continues to keep many individuals and families from obtaining the housing of their choice, the Fair Housing Act passage nearly a half-century ago was a giant step forward in addressing this issue.

If you feel you are a victim of housing discrimination, I urge you to contact the FCHR at 850-488-7082 or visit our website at fchr.state. fl.us and allow us the opportunity to assist you.

FOLIO VOICES : FIGHTIN’ WORDS KEEPIN’ IT CLASSY

RE.: “A Slice of the Eye,” by Claire Goforth, March 29 CAN YOU SEE YOUR OWN DISRESPECT? Once again the “tolerant” and “independent” Folio Weekly has managed to show its true colors.

When talking about a questionable surgical rule in Kentucky, Louisiana and Oklahoma, you made sure to go low and make a jab about teen pregnancy and membership in a hate group.

Classy, Claire, real classy. Didn’t one of your heroes only last year say “When they go low, we go high”?

Just go ahead and keep telling yourselves how tolerant and loving you are. It’s easy to believe that when you are amongst likeminded people.

AN OCCUPYING FORCE

THE FACT THAT THE JACKSONVILLE SHERIFF’S Office used social media to monitor protests in Jacksonville streets smacks of the Russian KGB or East German Stasi. The First Amendment gives all Americans the right to take to the streets in protest without the police interference or monitoring.

Angela Corey was on a scalp-hunt for young black men; it was easy to impose the death penalty on those who could not afford an O.J. defense. Black Lives Matter is a legitimate group rightfully protesting the racist treatment and murdering of their people by some in law enforcement. I expect that street protests will grow as Donald Trump’s government becomes more and more an illegitimate governing body.

If American law enforcement continues to interfere with the rights of Americans to protest, be it against the systematic raids on undocumented immigrants or expanding violations of First Peoples’ sacred land for oil and gas production or the rollback of proven climate change practices, then let the streets fill with a new generation of Freedom Fighters.

We must RESIST any attempt by any government law enforcement agency to deny us our civil right to public protest.

BRICKBATS + BOUQUETS BOUQUETS TO UNF DANCE MARATHON April 1 saw a lot of dancing fools spend 12 hours and 9 minutes shaking a tail feather to raise money for two local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals: Wolfson Children’s Hospital and the pediatric programs at UF Health Jacksonville. With the $38,385.26 raised at this year’s event, UNF Dance Marathon has now raised more than $160,000 for CMN hospitals since 2008. Why do they do it? FTK-For The Kids!

BOUQUETS TO JASMYN On April 10, JASMYN (Jacksonville Area Sexual Minority Youth Network) announced that it has been selected to receive a five-year grant of $354,000 per year from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. According to a press release, with the funds, JASMYN will establish community-based programs focused on reducing the rate of new HIV infections, increasing access to care, and promoting health equity for young gay and bisexual men of color.

BOUQUETS TO PUBLIX On April 4, more than 40 Publix associates from nine stores in Clay and Duval counties volunteered for the annual Publix Serves Day. The volunteers put the finishing touches on the home of Clay County Habitat for Humanity partner family member Tabitha Teeters. Publix also donated $500 worth of groceries to fill Teeters’ pantry. According to the Publix Facebook page, some 5,500 associates participated in such events in communities throughout the grocery store’s operating area.

SHOULD THE STATE

KILL? The case for ARAMIS AYALA

WHEN DOES THE STATE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL? How one answers that question— specifically, the trigger phrases that make a state execution morally just—reveals a lot about one’s own character and biases.

Of late, Gov. Rick Scott has attempted to score political capital against a state attorney to the south of here, Aramis Ayala.

Ayala has made national news by refusing to pursue the death penalty against brutal cop killer Markeith Loyd.

That decision proved to be controversial for Sunshine State Republicans, a group that has bloodied itself via internecine fighting over economic incentives in recent months.

Rick Scott is on one side of this divide. The Florida House is on the other.

However, Republicans could all agree that if ever a case justifies capital punishment, Loyd’s is it.

And Scott threw some muscle around, breaking the fourth wall between the governor’s office and that of a regional state attorney.

In March, Scott took the Loyd murder case away from Ayala, due to her reluctance to pursue the death penalty.

In April, Scott scored another pre-emptive strike: reassigning 21 first-degree murder cases that “represent a horrific loss of life.”

“State Attorney Ayala’s complete refusal to consider capital punishment for the entirety of her term sends an unacceptable message that she is not interested in considering every available option in the fight for justice,” Scott said last week.

“Every available option” is interesting phrasing. As is “unacceptable message.”

Rick Scott is the same dude who, when a grand jury called for the removal of former public defender Matt Officeshower, essentially said “Netflix and chill, and let the voters work it out in a few years.”

The governor’s policy was laissez-faire in that case. Yet in the case of Ayala, elected by voters who presumably knew her positions on issues, in an expensive campaign in an expensive media market, Scott’s taking away her cases.

And the Florida House wants to scale back her office budget—some are even talking about removing Ayala.

Who was, I repeat, as duly elected as any of the men attempting to decide her fate.

Last week, I asked Gov. Scott how much of this was political, on his part, an attempt to satisfy a red-meat base that always wants the tough-talk option.

“First off, this has nothing to do with politics. It has all to do with—think about the victims. This was about three weeks ago now when the State Attorney in Orlando said that she wouldn’t pursue the Markeith Loyd case to the fullest extent of the law. It just personally bothered me,” Scott related.

“What bothers me is that’s her job. Think about the victims: These are horrendous crimes. Think about the families: How do they feel when somebody says ‘I’m not going to prosecute somebody to the fullest extent of the law’.”

“We sent [the case] to Brad King, but there’s no politics in this. This is what’s the right thing to do,” Scott said.

Brad King is another state attorney.

I then asked Scott this question: Is it the death penalty or nothing for Loyd?

“Brad King will pursue the case to the fullest extent of the law. Whatever happens— you don’t just say you’re not going to pursue things to the fullest extent of the law. It’s the law of the state! Follow the law!”

The “fullest extent of the law” is an interesting phrase.

One could pose the question regarding which is worse: a quick death or a slow demise, eating junk food inside grim, institutional walls, a time when you would know nothing but the souls of the damned who bunk and eat and shit and spunk right beside you.

Is death worse than the slow agony of a forever-sunset, descending below the barbedwire fence?

I don’t have answers to those questions.

I’m sure Scott believes Loyd should be subjected to the death penalty. I’m also sure that those who voted for Ayala trusted her to make the right decisions–even the unpopular ones.

I think of our own state attorney, Melissa Nelson. Like Ayala, she was elected as an avatar of reform. Unlike Ayala, she almost certainly will, at some point, have a case that crosses her office’s threshold for a state execution.

Nelson, riding a wave of popularity as the Corey purge peaked, told me that she knew it would be inevitable that she would make a decision with which lots of people would disagree.

The implication of that conversation was on a smaller scale than having the state’s political establishment moving to take away the office you won due to nothing more than a philosophical difference.

The Republicans like to say “elections have consequences.”

Either Ayala is, or isn’t, a popularly elected state attorney. Barring a legitimate cause (and we sure tested that threshold in L’Affaire Shirk), the governor needs to let Ayala do her job.

He’s got enough problems, after all, in his own party.

THE MATANZAS RIVERKEEPER’S path has been as wild and windy as the waterways he’s worked to protect

RIO BRAVO! F

or such a hippie-looking character, Matanzas Riverkeeper Neil Armingeon has walked quite a straight and narrow path, career-wise. Since turning 18, Armingeon has worked to protect waterways in the Southeastern United States. This is what the man does. Every single day.

Now serving his fourth body of water, the Matanzas River, which heads south through St. Johns County from the St. Augustine Inlet and ends, as he puts it, unceremoniously in Flagler County, where it splits into tiny tributaries, Armingeon professes his love and dedication to the river as if he were trying to woo it. In many ways, he is still working to earn the affection of the river that gently meanders along outside the window of his office in Crescent Beach, on the grounds of Genung’s (pronounced je-NUNGS) Fish Camp.

I met Armingeon just outside this single-room wooden structure on a breezy Wednesday afternoon in February. The placid, park-like grounds on the bed of the Matanzas River are a perfect perch for the longhaired, earring-sporting environmentalist.

Armingeon greeted me with a smile and as we toured the compound, he stopped and pointed to a one-inch line drawn in black

Sharpie on the doorjamb of the fish camp. The stripe, a respectable four feet off the ground, was the high-water mark of the river during Hurricane Matthew.

“None of this should even be here right now,” Armingeon says in a thick, syrupy Alabama drawl that he either can’t or doesn’t want to shake. Over the last few months, many hands put in countless hours to get Genung’s Fish Camp and the office it leases to the Matanzas Riverkeeper organization looking like the bucolic bluff it appears to be on the cloudy afternoon.

Four months after Hurricane Matthew ravaged the region, there is still much more work to do. But there’s always more work to do. For Armingeon, more-work-to-do has been the story of his life, one spent dedicated to clean water.

GET MEAN OR GET OUT! ARMINGEON IS TUSCALOOSA-BORN-ANDbred. His father, Carl Armingeon, owned a menswear store and, as the only son, his progeny was expected to take over the family business. Armingeon spent three years at the University of Alabama studying business, but it didn’t stick, so he abandoned his course before the start of his final year.

To make sure Carl didn’t raise holy hell, Armingeon immediately went job-hunting and landed at the U.S. Geological Survey

STORY BY JOSUÉ A. CRUZ 10 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | APRIL 12-18, 2017

(USGS), a data-collecting entity of the federal government. It was a friend-of-a-friend kind of thing, but it paid well enough and it was a government job in the economically unsteady early 1980s, when a government job meant security and placated parents.

“My interview consisted of two questions: ‘Can you swim? Are you afraid of heights?’

I answered ‘yes’ and ‘no’ and that was it. Just like that, I became a fancy-ass hydrologic technician,” Armingeon recalls.

The gig consisted of measuring and recording gauge readings from water resources in the Southeastern United States, or as Armingeon says, “documenting the decline of the water resources in the Southeast.”

“I’d spend weeks, months really, on the road, where my only conversations were with the motel attendants,” Armingeon says.

He recalls that his first time in Jacksonville on the St. Johns River, he was finally accompanied by a colleague; as they floated underneath the Main Street Bridge in an undersized dingy, the tide shifted and the St. Johns River said a hearty ‘hello’ to Armingeon for the first time.

“I thought we were going to sink into that goddam river that day,” Armingeon muses ironically. Little did he know that the St. Johns River would become the focus of his career for the better part of a decade.

In 1984, the Jacksonville USGS post became permanent, but it also became stagnant, offering little career growth opportunity. He meandered in and out of what he refers to as “Surfer College” (Florida State College of Jacksonville, then FCCJ, for those who remember the old acronym), but after a few years of that, he was antsy.

While in Jacksonville, he befriended a woman who would have a profound impact on setting his life course. That woman, MaVynee Betsch, aka The Beach Lady, asked him for a ride home from an environmental awareness rally one day and, en route, asked what he did for a living.

“I told her that I worked for the USGS and she said, ‘Honey, you don’t want to work for the government. You want to work for nature,’ and just like that, a light seemed to click on,” Armingeon remembers.

He left life and love behind and enrolled in North Carolina State University, where, out of 18,000 students, he was one of two majoring in botany. He followed that up with a master’s degree in the same field from Duke University. And just like that, Armingeon was pedigreed and ready to fight for water.

He landed the position of Environmental Director at the North Carolina Coastal Federation, where his first assignment was to drive to Raleigh and address a state legislative committee. It was his second week on the job

and he looked every bit as green as he felt in his ill-fitting suit.

He was sent alongside the woman who would serve to solidify Armingeon’s life course.

“Lina Ritter was, in every sense of the word, a firecracker. A fearless, roughhewn woman who would get in anybody’s face,” Armingeon says.

Halfway to Raleigh, Ritter pulled her Plymouth K car over, exhaled a plume of cigarette smoke and forcefully told Armingeon to get out of the car.

“I thought she was crazy. Here we were on Highway 70 in the middle of nowhere and she yelling at me to get out of the car,” Armingeon says.

“She told me, ‘You gotta make up your mind right now, choir boy. You are either going to get mean or get out. Those people we’re going to talk to are not good people and they will eat you alive. You gotta make a choice,’ she said, and I did, and we hauled ass on to Raleigh.”

there by boat and drop them off in a canoe so they could explore the complaint. As they paddled up, the disgusting truth was revealed: a JEA discharge pipe had burst.

Armingeon and Orth immediately called the media and when the reporters asked the name of the creek, Orth cracked a joke; the name “Condom Creek” would stick and precipitate activity and mobilization against JEA which had never been seen before.

“JEA was untouchable at that time, but we weren’t going to let this slide. We sued JEA,” Armingeon says. JEA eventually settled and fixed the pipe. The Condom Creek fiasco and resolution would give the St. Johns Riverkeeper organization a reputation of action and effectiveness.

Armingeon spent more than a decade watching over the river and retaining a high

position on certain folks’ shitlists. There are stories of him storming out of meetings to drive a point home and of being called derogatory names by people in position of power and influence.

“The job is not to make enemies, but people will get upset when you are doing what’s right,” Armingeon says.

“Ultimately, as I’ve said before, in this business your message will eventually fall on deaf ears because people get used to hearing the same thing from you. I had been saying the same things about the St. Johns River, but it was because some things weren’t fucking changing. It’s then that you realize that it’s time to move on.”

Lisa Rinaman, the current St. Johns Riverkeeper, recalls Armingeon as being a straight-shooter. Prior to replacing him,

Rinaman worked for the local government, and while not ever directly opposing Armingeon, she did sit on the other side of the table many times.

“Neil has the ability to be stringent when he needs to be. I have a great deal of respect for him,” Rinaman says. “The best advice he gave me when I replaced him was to simply do what’s best for the river.”

THE POSSIBILITY OF MADNESS IN 2012, ARMINGEON WAS DRIVING ON THE Francis & Mary Usina Bridge, commonly known as the Vilano Bridge, and looked out over the Matanzas. It captured his

CONDOM CREEK AFTER TWO YEARS AT THE N.C. COASTAL Federation and a slew of confrontational runins with would-be polluters alongside Ritter, an opportunity opened up in New Orleans, a city Armingeon had loved as a kid. He was Big Easy bound.

In New Orleans, Armingeon found a home at the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF). He arrived in 1992 just as Hurricane Andrew had annihilated Miami and was bearing down on New Orleans right in time for the organization’s annual fundraiser. It was not the start he expected, but the storm eventually deviated, the LPBF was able to go forward with the event, which yielded a recordbreaking haul, enough for the organization to set a precedent of exceptional fundraising and environmental protection for years.

“The 11 years I spent on Lake Pontchartrain were great. We did a lot of good work and preserved thousands of acres of land around the lake,” Armingeon says.

“The organization grew and became a bit bureaucratic, as is the case in this business.

Also, as is the case in this business, people start to anticipate what you’re going to say and start to tune you out after a while.”

Meanwhile, Jacksonville was calling again through a rekindled flame that he was never quite able to extinguish. So, as love would have one do, in 2003 he quit his job and headed to the River City, believing that everything would work itself out. And it did.

He and Nan Jobson married shortly after he arrived. To this day, he still calls her the most patient woman in the world.

At the time, the St. Johns Riverkeeper organization needed a riverkeeper.

Armingeon applied; at the interview he asked a simple question, “Who are your enemies?”

When a reply of ‘no one’ was offered, Armingeon said, “Well, give me two years and you’ll have enemies.”

He got the gig and arrived to a similar fiscal disaster as he had in his previous job.

“It was February and at the first board meeting, the treasurer stands up and says, ‘At this current burn rate, we’ll be out of cash by July.’ I went home and told my soon-to-be wife, ‘Well, we at least have until summer,” Armingeon says. The organization, though, would stabilize, enabling Armingeon to make good on the promise he made in his interview.

In 2004, Armingeon received a call from a fisherman in Ortega complaining about condoms and tampons spewing out of a pipe into one of the tributaries of the St. Johns.

He asked a friend to take him and St. Johns Riverkeeper Executive Director Jimmy Orth

Armingeon speaks at the annual Friends of Matanzas meeting at Genung’s Fish Camp in Crescent Beach.

RIO BRAVO! <<< FROM PREVIOUS imagination; a year later he would formally take the oath as the Matanzas Riverkeeper.

The organization sits under the umbrella of the Friends of the Matanzas, a nonprofit organization that incubated the Matanzas Riverkeeper. Alongside local brothers Pat and Bill Hamilton, Armingeon submitted the application to Waterkeeper Alliance, the New York-based international organization started by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which standardizes waterkeepers around the world through licensure.

This was Armingeon’s first time in all the years he’d spent working to protect waterways that he started an effort from scratch. He had to learn the waterway, which Armingeon says is vital to protecting it, and he had to learn how to use QuickBooks, the entry-level accounting software. “[My father] Carl would be rolling in his grave if he saw how little I actually knew about running the business side of things,” Armingeon laughs.

“But I learned about it and know exactly what’s in the organization’s bank account.” The newfound responsibilities of being a one-man office invigorated Armingeon. His history of activism in St. Johns County also helped get the organization off the ground.

Adam Morley, a local captain making his living off the Matanzas River as the environmental educator for St. Augustine Eco Tours, was happy to have a heavyweight in the river’s corner.

“I knew about Neil from his time as the St. Johns Riverkeeper and what you see is what you get from him,” Morley says.

“We’ve been great resources for each other and what I like about Neil is his on-going persistence, because developers also have an ongoing, profit-driven persistence and if you let up on them (developers) on water consumption or pollution, it will come back to bite us.”

It has been win-some/lose-some against the developers in St. Johns County. A coalition of activist and organizations, including the Matanzas Riverkeeper, was able to temporarily 12 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | APRIL 12-18, 2017

halt King’s Grant, a 1,000-home development aimed at the headwaters of Pellicer Creek, a region of the Matanzas watershed that serves as a recharge area for the aquifer. Pellicer Creek is one of the last bodies of water designated as Outstanding Florida Waters by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).

On the other side of the coin, Lakewood Pointe, a housing development aiming to put 36 single-family homes on Moses Creek, received permission to increase the number of homes to 78, in spite of opposition from environmentalists. For Armingeon, the population boom of St. Johns County is not the issue.

“We’re not anti-growth or antidevelopment, but folks have to understand that building new homes doesn’t automatically increase the tax-base. Sanitation and city services must be provided to these new homes and that costs the city money. My waterquality arguments may not be as economically viable as 78 new homes, but the cost of those homes will be more than they generate,” Armingeon says.

“When you dwell in madness, anything, anything, is possible. So sometimes the developers are going to win, but sometimes we’re going to be able to stop them. It really is crazy work,” Armingeon says.

“Along the Matanzas, one-third of the watershed is developed, one-third is publicly owned and protected and the final one-third is what we’re all fighting for. Developers want to build and we want to protect.”

“The Matanzas River is one of the healthiest rivers in Florida, one of the few left. Groups like ours and the Environmental Youth Council St. Augustine are fighting tooth and nail to preserve this all in the face of a changing climate and local development pressures.”

Armingeon is not sure when he will throw in the towel or if he will ever be able to. The battles seem to be constant and drawn out.

“I remember being up in North Carolina 30 years ago and fighting offshore drilling off the Outer Banks and today we’re doing the same off St. Johns County.

In 30 years, we haven’t been able to figure out that shit is madness?”

Armingeon runs his finger over the black Sharpie line and exhales. He turns to the Matanzas River just in time to see a fin pop up a few yards out. He perks right up.

“Look at that, a porpoise mother and her baby swimming by.”

or the last 20 years, Drive-By Truckers has served as Southern rock’s most reliable powerhouse.

Every two years, you can count on a densely packed, well-written and hard-charging concept album. And every few months, you can count on this band of Alabama and Georgia gypsies rolling through town to deliver their epic three-hour jam sessions full of spontaneous set lists, deep rock history dives and unmatched stage banter among co-frontmen Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley and the rest of the band. But in 2016, the Truckers took an unexpected left turn, heightening their sense of storytelling justice with American Band, perhaps the strongest album of their storied career.

Although the title sounds bland, American Band is an unapologetically fierce political statement: On the cover, the usual DBT album artwork by longtime contributor Wes Freed is replaced by an American flag flying half-staff on a three-pronged, cross-like structure.

Story-songs like “Surrender Under Protest,” “Guns of Umpqua” and “What It Means” directly address their difficult subjects. It all adds up to the most in-depth examination of what Hood once called “the Southern Thing”–how white, working-class folks can both embrace their past and still contribute to a more multicultural American future.

“We were motivated to write what turned into a pretty political album by what we see around us,” Mike Cooley tells Folio Weekly. “I couldn’t stop thinking about it–in fact, I felt like I had to start writing to get it out.”

And damn if that isn’t an attitude we can all relate to right now.

Folio Weekly: A year ago you guys wrote, recorded and released American Band.

How has the impact of the songs changed, given the direction our country has gone?

Mike Cooley: We did the whole album before we got here, to this point in history, which took us by surprise as much as anybody. The songs still speak to the same issues, but for people now, anything remotely political probably cuts a little deeper these days.

been any push-back to American Band’s strident stance?

The fanbase has started to change, and I’m glad about that–I was worried if we didn’t start drawing some younger people that we were going to outlive our audience. [Laughs.]

And yeah, some fans are probably pissed off.

But they probably like us because we’re not afraid to say what we want. We’ve always had that kind of fearlessness.

THE GENIUNE

ARTICLE Drive-By Truckers have always been AMERICA’S MOST RELIABLE SOUTHERN ROCK band—then they became one of its most politically potent, too

2014’s English Oceans was the first album that featured you and Patterson Hood handling the bulk of the songwriting, a process replicated on American Band. Is that process tougher now that Patterson has moved away from the South to Portland, Oregon?

Nah, it’s not a problem. We haven’t lived in the same town in over 20 years. I’m in Birmingham, he was in Athens, now he’s in Portland—it doesn’t matter.

city dwellers and rural folks, though. In the South, cities are moving rapidly in a progressive direction, and rural communities are resistant to those kinds of changes.

I think that’s got a lot to do with our polarization now–in fact, that’s probably the root of it.

Drive-By Truckers come to Florida every year. What comes to mind when you think about our fair state?

Spring! That’s always the time we try to get down there and into some nice weather.

You’ve got North Carolina singer/ songwriter Hiss Golden Messenger opening for you on this tour. Do you see a lot of similar bands drawing inspiration from Drive-By Truckers’ modern reinterpretation of classic Southern rock?

There does seem to be some rumbling going on down here. The first time a younger band–I don’t even remember who it was– cited us as one of their primary influences, it took me aback for a second. Then I did the math and realized we’ve actually been around long enough to do that for somebody.

You feel good, but it’s also a little scary to realize you’re closer to that end of the shelf life. [Laughs.]

Do you all ever talk about the potential end of Drive-By Truckers’ reign?

No. This is what we do. I like the idea of all of us being able to do other things, or maybe even do other things as a band–it’s been a while since we’ve backed another artist. But we’re always going to come back to this. What we do together as Drive-By Truckers is where our heart is, and it’s where our living is. We’re worth a little more like this. [Laughs.]

ickedly subversive and wildly original for its time, Pretty Poison (1968) never made big box-office, but still achieved secondtier recognition as a kind of cult film. More deserving than that, the film has finally been upgraded to a stellar Blu-ray presentation; we hope it grabs more appreciative viewers. Though Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) has yet to get the upgrade, the excellent DVD version should be tempting for those whose aptitudes for black comedy (with more than a touch of murder) have been whetted by Pretty Poison.

The first and best feature film to be directed

by Noel Black, whose later career would mostly be in television, Pretty Poison was written by prolific scribe Lorenzo Semple Jr. (Papillon and The Parallax View), from a novel by Stephen Geller who, in turn, would write the script for Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five. Since much of the film’s success resides in the original story and unusual characters, the writers deserve full credit.

Eight years after Psycho, Anthony Perkins plays Dennis Pitt, another disturbed young man, just released from being in an institution for burning down his aunt’s house (with her in it) when he was 15. Dennis, though, is no Norman Bates. He’s a daydreamer and fantasist who becomes enthralled with pretty blonde drum majorette Sue Ann Stepanek (Tuesday Weld). Convincing her he’s a secret agent for a government unit investigating toxic runoff at the plant where he works, Dennis enlists Sue Ann’s aid to sabotage the factory.

Things go terribly wrong, natch, as Dennis’ schemes run wildly askew with deadly results.

Rather than being scared off, however, Sue Ann thrives on the danger and excitement, seizing control just like she appropriates an errant revolver. Like Norman, Sue Ann has an annoying mother (Beverly Garland) she’s ready to deal with. Unlike Norman (ironically!), Dennis can only watch in horror as sweet Sue takes matters into her own capable and deadly hands.

Perkins is good, but Pretty Poison thrives on Weld’s performance. Up to this time, the former co-star of TV’s hip comedy The Many Lives of Dobie Gillis was everyone’s teen queen, despite a troubled private life. Reportedly, she hated her work in Pretty Poison, but she’s as wrong about that as she was when she rejected starring roles in Lolita, Bonnie and Clyde and True Grit. She’s terrific in the film—gorgeous, funny and scary.

Though its plot twists might not seem too original to today’s jaded viewers, Pretty Poison was a real surprise in its own time, and Perkins and Weld, both playing against type, are still a delight to watch, particularly Weld. Along with Lord Love a Duck (1966) and Who’ll Stop the Rain? (1978), Pretty Poison constitutes the consummate Tuesday Weld trifecta.

Three years later, Pretty Maids All in a Row took an even more overt approach to its satiric

tale of a series of murders at a California high school, but with decidedly uneven results. On paper, the movie had everything going for it, particularly a European director (Roger Vadim) with serious artistic credentials, and an A-cast, including Rock Hudson, Angie Dickinson, Telly Savalas and Roddy McDowall. The script, moreover, was by future Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. And there’s a bevy of hot young starlets (the Maids of the title) in various stages of undress, including the aptly named Joy Bang.

So what went wrong? Certainly not Hudson, who’s in rare form here as a popular high school coach and guidance counselor who, though happily married with a gorgeous wife and young daughter, is unable to resist the lissome lasses from his classes. Savalas is in his best Kojak-mode (two years before the hit TV series) as a detective investigating the growing pile of corpses.

On the other hand, McDowall is totally wasted as the clueless principal; Dickinson does what she can with a silly role as a sexy teacher who gets involved with a horny teen (John David Carson).

Ultimately, the negatives of Pretty Maids All in a Row must be attributed to Roger Vadim and, secondarily, Roddenberry’s script, though it’s hard to know just how closely Vadim followed it or butchered it. Apart from Hudson’s and Savalas’ performances, nearly everything else in the film is heavy-handed, Vadim italicizing, as it were, his satiric jabs. He films women nicely, no doubt, but like Barbarella (his film made just before this one, with Jane Fonda), subtlety was his strength.

In the end, “Pretty Maids” is a great idea but—with the exception of Rock Hudson, Telly Savalas and the charismatic young costars— more curious than accomplished.

IN THE MID-1800S, THE ONLY THINGS Colorado was known for were gold and the Rocky Mountains. Today, there’s another kind of gold rush in the Centennial State, and it’s liquid and fermented.

With 320 breweries, Colorado ranks third in the U.S. in breweries per capita. It’s also one of just four states that together produce more than a third of the nation’s craft beer. It’s also one of my favorite places on Earth.

DENVER At Mile High City, we went to one of my favorite breweries of all time: De Steeg.

Working with only a one-barrel brewing system, De Steeg brewers craft outstanding Belgian-style beers that are constantly changing.

Though the brewery is notoriously hard to find– it’s literally tucked in an alley, marked with only a sign with a beer chalice on it–keeping beer on tap is an ongoing struggle. The selection’s always amazing, so any serious beer aficionado must stop at this converted garage.

FT. COLLINS Here we hit New Belgium Brewing Company. Known as “The Mothership” to employees, this brewery began when founder Jeff Lebesch returned from a biking trip through Belgium. Lebesch was so taken by that country’s charms and variety of brews, he decided to start brewing in his basement.

Twenty-five years on, New Belgium is America’s third-largest craft brewery.

The place is a beautiful mix of art and function. The 100-barrel brewhouse is in a huge room of towering exposed timber ceilings and plenty of windows. The kettles rise from the floor majestically, each with a tile mosaic ring around it that tells a story. In another part of the brewery, foeders–large wooden fermentation tanks–fill a room called The Woods, a monument to the brewery’s dedication to producing authentictasting Belgian-style sours.

VAIL VALLEY Brewing more than 8,000 feet above sea level presents some serious challenges, the toughest being hard water, the bane of brewers everywhere.

“Water begins here,” said Crazy Mountain Brewing Company owner Kevin Selvy. “From here, it goes down the mountains and is filtered on the way. Water here is also inconsistent. Each of the seven wells [that] water is drawn from for local consumption has a different mineral content.”

Through an elaborate filtration system, Crazy Mountain removes impurities to create beers that set beer-lovers’ hearts atwitter.

This brewery produces only specialties–the company’s core brews are made at a larger Denver facility–but they’re well worth the trip to Edwards for an après-ski quaff.

BRECKENRIDGE For 27 years, Breckenridge Brewing Company has been quenching skiers’ thirst just blocks from the slopes.

As a heavy spring snowstorm fell outside, head brewer Blake Schwalls showed me around the brewery. The first part of the tour was right in front of me, the mash tun just feet from the main bar. Like Crazy Mountain, Breckenridge brews only specialty beers.

“We’re all hopheads up here,” said Schwalls, as he showed off the third-story gristmill. “We go through a lot of specialty brews up here and pilot for beers for Denver.”

So, beer folks, visit the high hills of Colorado for great beer.

PORK

PRODUCT I’VE BEEN SO CRAZY BUSY THE LAST COUPLE of weeks, I haven’t had enough time to properly focus on what to prepare for dinner. I know you must be thinking, “Say it ain’t so, Bill!” but it’s true.

Is there anything worse than being forced to make dinner without the proper inspiration or the time to amply plan this all-important highlight of the day?

Obviously not! If I can’t have a delicious dinner to end my day, then why did I bother to get out of bed? Why did I go to work?

Why did I take the children to school?

Why did I do any of my myriad daily chores? None seem to have any meaning at all without a terrific, sumptuous meal to celebrate all my little mundane daily accomplishments. Are you with me on this?

I should hope so, for if your idea of a great evening meal involves a drive-thru, there’s really no hope for you at all.

I try to use a few simple techniques; I hope they can help you find daily dinner inspiration. If this sounds like a five-step program, relax. Maybe cut down on the caffeine.

My first suggestion: Question those who might be sharing your evening repast if there’s anything in particular they might like to enjoy. Remember, their opinions don’t necessarily matter, but it usually makes them feel better about themselves if you ask. Another technique I often use is to check my emails. I follow quite a few blogs and magazines. Don’t forget Instagram. We eat with our eyes first. Next, as most daily conversations generally center around the subject of food, your friends, colleagues or even your children might inspire you with their likes or opinions.

That last example worked quite well for me recently when my eldest daughter called me from school, ranting about how her roommates didn’t eat pork because they didn’t like the taste. My response?

Move out. You don’t want to catch whatever

loser, shoemaker disease from which they suffer! Then magically, out of the blue, I was craving pork tenderloin. Perfect, because pork tenderloin lends itself to all kinds of cuisines and flavor profiles, is perfect for grilling because it’s naturally very tender and low in fat, and cooks very quickly.

Marinades and brines are very important when grilling because they add additional flavor and moisture and can tenderize meats as well. I generally like to give meats an overnight swim in the marinade to impart the most flavor. But in a pinch you can shorten these times a bit. Just try to give meats a minimum of eight hours. Once the fire’s ready, simply wipe off the excess marinade and grill away.

I decided on a yogurt and Za’atar spice marinade for my pork. Give it a try; it just might remind you how delicious and easy properly grilled pork tenderloin can be.

CHEF BILL’S YOGURT & ZA’ATAR SPICE MARINADE Ingredients: • 3 Oz. plain yogurt • 2 Tbsp. Za’atar spice • 1 Tsp. ginger, minced • 3 Garlic cloves, minced • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice • 1 Tsp. red wine vinegar • Salt and pepper to taste Directions: 1. Mix all ingredients in a stainless steel 1. bowl, add protein and coat.

2. Place in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate.

Until we cook again,

LOVERS’

GUIDE

PETS LIKE ME:

LILLIAN Behind every good human is AN AWESOME PET waiting to share its story photo by Rebecca Thompson

MEET LILLIAN:

Last month, I met ridiculously cute English Angora rabbit Lillian, who has awesomely long ears like mine. I couldn’t look away.

I guess I frightened her with all that staring because she told me, “You should take a picture, it’ll last longer,” and hopped along. Awkward.

IN HER WORDS:

Life as a pampered princess can be difficult sometimes. So many decisions to make and so little time. Not every bunny has the luxury of living this privileged life. Many stay locked away in a cage until their turn comes to be sheared–ouch! Angoras are often bred for their long, silky fur, which can lead to very bad lives for these poor rabbits. But not me; I’m living the high life in a fancy two-story condo with a live-in boyfriend named Jake. He’s very obedient– in fact, he never moves at all.

One day we might get married, if he’s lucky, but first, an education. My mom says princesses are strong women who use their courage and intelligence to help others. I want to make myself smarter and learn more about the world around me so that I can be a problem-solver or, even better, a scientist!

Yeah, my mom is pretty much awesome.

We snuggle, snack on apples, and watch movies—Zootopia is my favorite, duh. I’d be a furry mess without her, TBH. She has this bag that she sometimes takes with her instead of me—I can’t even. Once I tried chewing the strap. Totally busted.

PET TIP: DON’T BE A DUMBASS BASS

She gave me a pass and took me shopping at the farmer’s market, yeah, that’s right.

Hopping around together is the totes! We take coffee strolls to see friends, wander around parks, and even take road trips to visit my grandhumans in Tampa. I have a special car seat so I can see and be seen while being safe.

Even on my worst day, I’m still killin’ it. Eating healthy, staying fit and getting plenty of sleep; I love to nap. Naps keep me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, just as my mom expects.

She’s taught me other lessons, like being kind to others and practicing good manners. Don’t get me wrong, my mom isn’t a pushover. She’ll put you in your place in a heartbeat, especially if you crunch carrots with an open mouth—rude. But she knows that a truly great princess will find ways to make the world a better place. Even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. That’s definitely something more meaningful to chew on than just Timothy hay.

Before you run out and adopt an Angora rabbit, do your research. Rabbits are very high-maintenance pets, often more demanding than even cats or dogs. Angoras are particularly hard to keep. These rabbits adhere to a strict diet, and their fur requires special care as well.

Davi mail@folioweekly.com ____________________________________ Davi doesn’t do much hopping, but he does plenty of hoping … for treats!

WITH SUMMER FAST APPROACHING, there are some pretty simple steps to ensure your pet’s safety. Like for one, don’t leave your pet in a hot car while running into a store, even if it’s just for “one second” while you grab a case of Bud Light—DON’T DO IT. Sealed cars can reach a scorching temperature of 149° in just 15 minutes, putting your beloved pet at risk of heat stroke. Also, if you can’t walk barefoot on the sidewalk because it’s as hot as the pathway to hell, don’t think your animal can. Keep those sweet baby paws inside until the sidewalk cools later in the day. There you go—easy as finding Jax Beach Janice at Lynch’s Irish Pub.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before visiting Sicily for the first time, American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian.

In his poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes how the new language is changing his perspective. If he were thinking in English, he might say the gin he’s drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind would prefer to say the gin “has allowed my thoughts to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the vast sky.” Your assignment in the week ahead?

Italianize your worldview. Infuse your thoughts with expansive lyricism and relaxation. If you’re Italian, celebrate and amplify your Italianness.

you’d have to transgress are finally ready to be transgressed. Your attention span is expanding, your imagination is stretching.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s closing time. You’ve finished toiling in the shadow of an old sacred cow. You’ve ended your relationship with ill-fitting ideas you borrowed from mediocre, inappropriate teachers once upon a time.

You can finally cease your quest for a supposed Holy Grail that never really existed. Time to move on to the next chapter of your life story. You’re authorized to graduate from any influence, attachment and attraction that won’t serve your future greater good.

Does it mean you’ll be ready to embrace more freedom than you have in years? Bet on it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Most people throw away lemon rinds, walnut shells and pomegranate skins. But some resourceful types find uses for the apparent wastes. Lemon rind can be a deodorizer, cleaner and skin tonic, and a zesty ingredient in recipes. Ground-up walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and pet bedding.

When made into a powder, pomegranate peels have several skin care uses. Look for metaphorically similar things. You’re usually inclined to dismiss surfaces, discard packaging and ignore outer layers, but consider the possibility that they may have value.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The heaviest butterfly on the planet is the female Queen Victorian Birdwing, tipping the scales at two grams. The female Queen Alexandra Birdwing has the longest wingspan: 12-plus inches.

These creatures remind me of you these days.

Like them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous, somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you work on are graceful and elegant, yet big and weighty. Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but you’re actually quite aerodynamic. Your sorties are dazzling and influential. Your acrobatic zigzags seem improbable, but they’re effective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re growing too fast, but it’s fine as long as you don’t make folks around you feel they’re moving too slowly. You know too much, but that’s not a problem if you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt if you overflow with spontaneous generosity. Your excesses are likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than confusing.

It should provide plenty of slack when dealing with cautious folks a bit rattled by your lust for life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Picasso had mixed feelings about fellow painter Marc Chagall, born under the sign of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roosters and donkeys and flying violinists, and all the folklore,” Picasso said, referring to Chagall’s subject matter.

But he felt Chagall was one of the few painters “who understands what color really is,” adding, “There’s never been anybody since Renoir who has the feeling for light that Chagall has.” In the coming weeks, you’ll receive mixed messages like these. Praise and disapproval may come your way. Recognition and neglect. Kudos and apathy.

Don’t dwell on criticism; downplay the applause.

Do the reverse!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is an old gospel song, and it’s the metaphorical theme of your horoscope. Climb a tall peak—even if it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination—and deliver a spicy monologue that’s been marinating in you.

It’d be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience for the revelations, but it’s not mandatory to achieve the necessary catharsis. Just gaze at the big picture as you declare big, ripe truths.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you were a snake, it’d be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it’d be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood.

If you were an office worker, it’d be a great phase to trade your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. You’re primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): For more than a century, the Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Buxton, North Dakota hosted rites of passage, including 362 baptisms, 50 marriages and 97 funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking population. Consider the possibility this can serve as a useful metaphor. Is there a place that’s been a sanctuary, but has begun to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge become a mundane hang-out? If so, mourn for a bit, then search a vibrant replacement.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Until recently, scientists believed the number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But research published in the journal Nature says that’s wrong. There are actually three trillion trees on earth—almost eight times more than was previously thought. In a similar way, you’ve also underestimated certain resources available to you.

Now’s a good time to correct the undervaluation.

Summon the audacity to recognize the potential abundance at your disposal, then tap into it with a greater sense of purpose.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Poet John Keats identified a quality he called “negative capability.” He defined it as the power to calmly accept “uncertainties, mysteries and doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” I’d extend the meaning to include three things not to be irritably reached for: artificial clarity, premature resolution and simplistic answers.

It’s a good time to learn more about this fine art.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ready for a riddle more enjoyable than what you’re used to? You may be too jaded to embrace an unusual gift. You may assume it’s another crazymaking cosmic joke like those tormenting in the past. Welcome the riddle in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If so, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as it teases in ways you didn’t know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch or a soothing burn, like a funny-bone feeling that titillates your immortal soul. To take full advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand your understanding of what’s good for you.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD WORLD’S COOLEST CITY

Recently, in Dubai (United Arab Emirates’ largest city), Dubai Civil Defense started using water jetpacks that lift firefighters off the ground to hover in advantageous positions as they work the hoses. Also, using jet skis, rescuers can avoid traffic by using the city’s rivers to arrive at fires (and, if close enough to a waterway, can pump water without hydrants). Even more spectacularly, as early as this summer, Dubai will authorize an already-tested one-person, “Jetsons”-type taxis for ordinary travel in the city. The Ehang 184 model flies about 30 minutes on an electrical charge, carrying up to 220 pounds, at about 60 mph.

MURDER: NO PROB. BEING BALD: BIG PROB

Convicted murderer Philip Smith (a veteran criminal serving life for killing the father of a boy Smith had been sexually abusing) escaped from prison in New Zealand with the help of a disguise (including a toupee for his bald head) before being caught. Prison officials confiscated the toupee, but Smith said a shiny head behind bars made him feel “belittled, degraded and humiliated” and sued for the right to keep the toupee.

In March, in a rare case in which a litigant succeeds as his own lawyer, Smith prevailed in Auckland’s High Court.

SLOW SYSTEM? RELEASE THE MURDERERS!

In March, star soccer goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes de Souza signed a two-year contract to play for Brazil’s Boa Esporte club while he awaits the outcome of his appealed conviction for the 2010 murder of his girlfriend, in which he fed her body to his dogs. He’d been sentenced to 22 years in prison, but was released by a judge after seven, based on the judge’s exasperation at the years-long delays in appeals in Brazil’s sluggish legal system.

DIY SIGNAGE

In Ohio, the Cleveland Street Department still hadn’t (at press time) identified the man, but somehow he, dressed as a road worker, had wandered stealthily along Franklin Boulevard in March and removed

more than 20 standard “35 mph” speed limit signs, replacing all with official-looking “25 mph” signs he may have financed himself.

Residents along those two miles of Franklin have long complained, but the city kept rejecting pleas for a lowered limit.

NICE APP

The Apenheul primate park in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, is engaged in a four-year experiment, offering female orangutans an iPad loaded with photos of male orangutans now housed at zoos around the world, with the females able to express interest or disinterest (similar to swiping right or left on the human dating app Tinder).

Researchers admit results have been mixed, that some males have to be returned home, and once, a female handed the iPad with a potential suitor showing, merely crushed the tablet. Apps are not quite to the point of offering animals the ability to digitally smell each other.

EYES UP HERE, SISTER

Peacocks are known to flash their erect, sometimes-6-foot-high rack of colorful tail feathers to attract mating opportunities.

However, as researchers in Texas recently found, the display might not be important.

Body cameras placed on peahens at eye level (to learn how they check out strutting males) revealed the females gazed mostly at the lowest level of feathers, as if attracted only to certain colors rather than the awesomeness of the towering flourish).

YA HAD TO BE THERE

In March, jurors in Norfolk, Virginia, found Allen Cochran, 49, not guilty of attempted shoplifting, but he wasn’t present when the verdict was announced.

Apparently predicting doom (since he’d also been charged with fl eeing court during a previous case), he skipped out. The jury then re-retired to the jury room, found him guilty on the earlier count and sentenced him to the five-year maximum.

Because of time already served, he could’ve walked away legally if he hadn’t walked away illegally.
