APPRIVER Gov. Rick Scott last week

PENSACOLA CITY HALL Add another

held a press conference in the City of Gulf Breeze to recognize AppRiver for creating 100 jobs over the past five years. Launched in 2002 by Mike Murdoch and Joel Smith, AppRiver offers cloud-based cybersecurity and productivity services to 47,000 companies worldwide, with more than 10 million mailboxes under its protection.

TAG PURVIS The CEO of Financial

legal battle to the City of Pensacola's evergrowing lists of cases. How long will it take for the Florida Cabinet to hear the city's appeal concerning the distribution of gas taxes? No one knows, but the taxpayers will end up picking up the tab. Not since George Touart was the interim county administrator has a local government chosen to pick so many fights.

Management & Investment Corp. has taken on the renovation of Fort George. Built by the British during their occupation of the city from 1763-1781, the fort was a major target during the Battle of Pensacola, a significant battle of the American Revolution. In March 2015, the Purvis' company purchased the neighboring Knights of Columbus Hall at 519 North Palafox St. The idea of including the monument site in his plans for the renovations of the hall sprung from conversations with Mayor Ashton Hayward.

DALRYMPLE SALLIS ARCHITECTURE Its design of the Coldwater Gardens Pavilion in Milton was named to the list of "Top 10" buildings in the 2016 AIA Florida People's Choice Competition. The competition highlighted the work of Florida's architects, who are skilled professionals who help meet the needs of communities through innovative building design. A total of 39 buildings around the state were included in the contest for 2016, and more than a quarter-million votes were cast.

ZIKA VIRUS Who do we blame for the

lack of funding to fight the spread of Zika infections? Gov. Rick Scott has authorized $26.2 million in emergency funding to combat the disease while lamenting that Congress has not passed, and President Barack Obama has not signed, a bill to fund a larger Zika response. U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, chastised his Republican colleagues for withholding $1.9 billion in funding requested by President Obama. While the political parties point fingers, the number of cases grows.

CARLOS BERUFF Unlike his other

Republicans, the Bradenton builder did not drop out of the U.S. Senate race when Marco Rubio entered the race. In true Trump fashion, he doubled down and continued to spend millions of his own dollars to win his party's nomination. He has gone after Rubio daily for not firmly supporting Donald Trump. In the end, it didn't matter. Trump last week told Floridians to vote for Rubio.

BEHIND THE CRIME STATS On Monday, Aug. 8, the Pensacola Police Department arrested a Pensacola man, Alonzo Thompkins, for aggravated child abuse after police responded to a residence that morning and found a child not breathing. According to the report, Thompkins was left alone with the two-year-old son of his girlfriend. When the mother returned home, her son was not breathing. An initial investigation determined the deceased child had multiple injuries. Monday was also the day the City of Pensacola released its semi-annual crime statistics for the Pensacola Police Department that showed a 6.3 percent decrease in crime within city limits from the same time period last year. The city reported 86 fewer crimes committed, of which the majority, 70 percent, were due to a drop in larceny from buildings. Pensacola Police Chief David Alexander III said in the press release, "This is an example of what twenty-firstcentury community policing looks like; citizens working with law enforcement agencies to make their community a safe place to live." Mayor Ashton Hayward bragged about his police department, "I am extremely proud of the comprehensive efforts between the PPD and our community partners to continue to drive crime downward." When crime numbers drop, politicians are quick to take credit. However, the crime statistics are more a reflection of what is hap-

pening in a community than the effort of the law enforcement officers. When the murder rate in the city soared four years ago, the homicides weren't due to a lack of law enforcement or because Chief Chip Simmons wasn't as good a leader as Chief Alexander. The city was dealing with warring neighborhood gangs. So what do the latest crime statistics tell us about our community? Violent crimes were about the same. The crime statistics revealed that firearms were used in more crimes committed during the first six months of 2016 than the same period last year – a 14.7 percent increase. The number of robberies and aggravated assaults that involved either a gun or knife increased by nearly 20 percent. The crimes statistics also showed a 25 percent rise in domestic violence. Sixteen of the domestic violence victims were children of the attackers. The majority of the 32.6 percent, were cohabitants in the residence. According to the Department of Justice, only about half of the domestic violence cases are ever reported to law enforcement. The actual domestic violence cases in the City may be double the PPD statistics. I don't want to take anything away from the efforts of the Pensacola police officers, but the mayor and chief should look deeper into their numbers. Proactive campaigns to curb gun violence and domestic abuse are needed. {in} rick@inweekly.net

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR OUR ECONOMY "We have the Space Coast; Northrop Grumman is strong in our state," said Connally. "Then I look across the Southeast. You've got Boeing in South Carolina, Gulf Stream in Savannah, Airbus in Mobile." He added, "The whole Gulf Coast and South Atlantic corridor are attractive places. The Fabbro Marine groundbreaking / Photo Courtesy of Gulf Power region is becoming the southeast hub for aviation. Of course, we're dead in the middle of that in some ways, with some opportunities." Stan Connally, the president and CEO Connally said the manufacturing of Gulf Power Company, is bullish about opportunities are positive not only for the economic future of Northwest FlorPensacola, where VT-MAE is expected to ida. When Inweekly sat down with him, he break ground on its facility at the airport, had recently returned from the Farnborbut also in Bay and Santa Rosa counties. ough International Air Show in London, At the end of July, Fabbro Marine, the where Gov. Rick Scott had announced the manufacturer of the Cape Horn watercraft, creation of 1,200 aerospace and aviation held a groundbreaking for its $4-million, jobs across the state. 78,000 square foot facility in the Santa Connally, FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth, Rosa Industrial Park East.

U.S. is attractive to the aviation industry.

By Rick Outzen

Of the Fabbro Marine project, Connally said, "That's the first of nine certified sites that we've worked with the counties. I think it will kick start other development in the area." At the groundbreaking ceremony, Chris Fabbro, president of Fabbro Marine, credited Gulf Power for providing a major incentive for the boat manufacturer to remain in the county. Connally told Inweekly that the utility plans to focus more on small businesses. Recognizing that small businesses account for more than three-fourths of all jobs, Gulf Power is looking to provide more resources to help them. "We've recognized that we can do better in supporting our small businesses with energy efficiency and growth resources, to help them think through how do they become more successful," said Connally. "Every economy is this way; Pensacola's this way. We got to be sure we stay focused on small businesses, not just the big ones that you and I get together and talk about now and again, going on these big economic development trips." The state recently renewed Gulf Power's Job Creation Rate Incentives. The program offers base rate electric price incentives over a four-year period for new or expanding businesses that meet certain electricity load, job creation, and capital investment requirements. The potential savings to businesses over the four-year program may range from $11,000 for a 200-kilowatt business customer to more than $1.2 million for a 4-megawatt customer. The incentive helps offset the costs of starting up, expanding or moving operations to Northwest Florida. There are three incentive electric load categories —200 to 349 kW, 350 to 999 kW and 1,000 kW or greater. This incentive only applies to new business expansions or new businesses relocating to Northwest Florida. More than $100 million in new construction in downtown Pensacola has raised questions about the city's aging infrastructure.

"Whether it's hotels, or retail space, or multi-family, or whatever it is, it's just an exciting time to think about downtown," said Connally. "We've been investing really since 2010. Gulf Power now has the infrastructure to ensure we can adequately serve the power needs of downtown." He added, "When I say that, I think globally. Not at a specific customer, but investing in sub-stations and transmission infrastructure, whether it's replacing 30-, 60-years-old, and we've done a lot of that, or it's building new substations." Gulf Power plans to replace a section of line on Tarragona Street from Main Street almost to Garden. Connally said, "It is certainly still serving our community well, but it's time to replace it. We look for opportunities like that every single year." He pointed out the older infrastructure has been replaced with smart-grid technology to respond to outages more quickly and be more resilient from wind and other weather conditions. "From time to time, and when there's flooding, you have those challenges when you have underground systems, and we've dealt with some of those challenges," he said. "But largely the downtown system has been strong. Our reliability for the entire company has improved 40 percent." Overall the economic growth has been robust. Commercial construction is on the rise. Hoteliers are talking about the need for more hotel rooms from Panama City to Pensacola. Cranes are seen downtown and on Pensacola Beach, which Connally sees as positive signs of growth. "We see a lot of multi-family apartment homes, apartment complexes being built," he said. "Here in Pensacola, some in Santa Rosa, some in Bay, so I think that too is a sign that the multi-family occupancy is so high, we have to build more product. As I look at what's driving our numbers, those customer additions are as high as they've been since 2007." {in}

lishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which forbids the government from preferring any one religion over another. He isn't buying the city's argument. "In their response, the City keeps repeating that a reasonable observer aware of the history of the cross would not view it as Bayview Park Cross / Photo by Richard Humphreys an endorsement of WHAT CROSS? The City of Pensacola religion," said Suhor, filed its answers to the lawsuit regarding in an email to Inweekly. "Yet, they have just the Bayview Park Cross. The document now, after 47 years, shared the alleged hisdefends the cross as a historic memorial to tory of the current cross - despite repeated our military veterans who fought in World requests for information on how/when it War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars. was erected. Of course, there is no marker David Suhor, one of the plaintiffs in the to the 'historic,' and non-religious, nature case, believes the cross violates the Estabof the cross."

LEE0011 Buck Lee IN Ad.indd 1

According to the city's filing, the cross was paid for by money raised by the Pensacola Chapter of the Jaycees. "The cross is a permanent marker recognizing an annual community gathering that was first held on Easter of 1941 when the world was at war, and this country was only months away from formally joining that conflict," said the city's attorneys. "On that same day, sunrise services were held at Arlington Cemetery in Washington, at Soldier Field in Chicago, at Fort Benning, Ga., and all across the country." The Pensacola Junior Chamber of Commerce, which later became known as the "Jaycees," organized the 1941 service. City, Army and Navy officials arranged bus transportation for Army and Navy personnel to attend the service. The Boy Scouts provided ushers. The Fort Barrancas band began playing at 5:45 a.m. The court documents described the service: "During the service, hymns were sung by the Stetson University Glee Club, and musical selections were given by the combined Army and Navy bands. There was a prayer and scripture reading. The

pastor of the First Christian Church stated that the cross was a revelation of the fact that the law of life for society as well as for the individual is self-giving rather than self-seeking. Masses of flowers were placed around the pine cross and were later distributed among patients at the Army, Navy, and Pensacola Hospitals. Over 3,000 people attended that first service." According to the city, the services became an annual event. The largest crowd was in 1947 when WCOA broadcasted the event. The Jaycees erected the current cross in 1969. "U.S. Navy Chaplain Raymond Johnson was the speaker during the dedication of the cross," said the city. "While serving in Vietnam, Chaplain Johnson had been wounded twice, received the Silver Star and the Legion of Merit and was recommended for the Navy Cross." In the court documents, the City denied that the cross has the purpose and effect of endorsing Christianity, arguing, "a reasonable observer, mindful of the history, purpose, and context of the cross would not conclude that it conveys the message that

the City of Pensacola endorses a religion." The City also argued the cross had a broader meaning than Christian religious symbol, asserting, "The cross is also used throughout this country and the world as a wellknown symbol to honor the dead." Suhor didn't hold back his criticism of city officials. In his email, he wrote, "Frankly, the City's argument is stupid and insulting to both veterans and Christians. No one attended Easter Sunday simply to honor veterans - ignoring the Jesus fetishism that happens there. Non-Christian soldiers are not honored by the cross." He added, "No reasonable observer (history hidden or not) sees the cross as a war memorial or even a memorial to previous Easter gatherings. Everyone knows the cross is there for one reason – for Easter Sunday and local Christian culture. It is indeed a landmark; it ‘marks' one of Pensacola's favorite public parks as Jesus-land. Other than Easter and Jesus-worship, the cross serves no purpose at all. It is certainly not secular." Suhor said his lawsuit would "go away," if the City would move the cross to "a more visible spot" on private property.

SHORT FILMS SOUGHT The inaugural Kite Film Fest is seeking short films to include in their Destin event. "We have quite a few local filmmakers and we wanted to put something together to showcase that," shares co-founder Nikki Hedrick of the event. The mother-daughter team behind 850 Music & Entertainment, with the support from Rock Destin and Club LA, is launching Kite Film Fest. "We are going to start by focusing on short films, and see what comes our way – but we hope that the first event is successful and paves the way for future opportunities," explains Heather Hedrick. It is free to submit any short film for consideration towards inclusion in the festival. The deadline for submission is October 1. The full submission rules can be viewed at KiteFilmFest.com. Selections will be notified and screened at Kite Film Fest in November 2016 at Club LA in Destin. "We are leaving the rules loose for the August 11, 2016

first year, anyone is welcome to submit their short film," says Heather Hedrick. Further inquires can be directed to KiteFilmFest@gmail.com.

HERE WE GO AGAIN It seemed all was well at Pensacola City Hall. The Pensacola City Council was happy after it gave itself a raise, and there was nothing controversial on its August agenda. The groundbreaking of the VT-MAE project was just weeks away. Then Team Hayward decided to blow up that tranquility to once again prove it was the boss. On Aug. 3, Mayor Ashton Hayward had his city attorney appeal the county's ordinance regarding the gas tax distribution to the Florida Cabinet. Inweekly also found out that he borrowed $15 million for his ambitious paving plan without the council approving a county's interlocal agreement that would have given the City the funds needed to make the note payments. The appeal didn't mention the inter-local agreement, and Councilwoman Myers told Inweekly that she felt the mayor's staff had blindsided her after they had asked her to negotiate a paving plan with Commissioner Lumon May. City Attorney Lysia Bowling later told the council that she had to send the appeal because of a deadline, but didn't explain why an emergency council meeting wasn't called before sending the appeal. On Aug. 5, Council President Charles Bare notified the state that the council "was never presented with or asked to weigh in on this decision. The Pensacola City Council has not taken any action in regards to this appeal." Meanwhile, County Commission rescinded on Aug. 4 its inter-local agreement that would have given the city an additional 8.6 percent to pay the $15-million loan—an inter-local agreement that it passed on July 14, but the mayor never presented it to the City Council. {in} 9

The Pet Issue

Our decision to do an issue about pets five years ago was a pretty selfish one. We just wanted an excuse to run cute photos of our pets and ask our vet questions without paying for a visit. But we had a feeling we weren't the only obsessed pet owners out there. And were we right. Not only does The Pet Issue garner more "likes" and page views than most of our other issues, it also receives more reader submissions and positive feedback than pretty much anything we do all year besides Best of the Coast. All these things prove that you guys are as in love with your pets as we are with ours, and you have no idea how happy this makes us. So back by popular demand, here's the fifth annual Inweekly Pet Issue.

Louis at Urban Objects / Courtesy Photo ing in the window of Urban Objects. Louis, the toy poodle, has come to work with owner Sarah Gillette every day since the very first day she adopted him two and a half years ago. When can we find Louis in the shop? Every day I'm in the shop. He's been here since I got him at 5 months old. What does he typically do while he's there? He sleeps, but he also greets customers. He barks at the UPS and FedEx guys when he wants them to play. He also lays on the platform in the window sometimes and watches people. He's had lots and lots of photos taken with customers. People just love him. Why do you think having a shop pet is a positive element to a store? Most people love dogs, and Louis is very cute and lovable. I think having him there gives you something to talk about and makes people feel more comfortable. Are other pets allowed in the shop? Yes, we have customers who bring their dogs frequently.

Every summer when we start planning The Pet Issue, we wonder, "will get enough new reader submissions?" And every year, we're excited to find out the answer to that question is "yes." The cuteness and diversity of our local pet community has no limit apparently.

Ernie & Edlebrock Sam & Dan Eckiss

Fay Maura Murphy & David Pruett

From dogs on the beach to cats in boxes, this year's batch of submissions did not disappoint and because of that we are once again publishing more photos than ever beforeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;96 to be exact. Still, some didn't make the cut, and we promise it wasn't personal. It was just a photo quality issue (too small, too dark, too blurry). So

if you sent a photo and don't see it, please try again next year (with a better photo, of course). Thank you to everyone who cared enough to email us a photo (or photos in most cases). They say pet lovers are the best type of people, and we love knowing that our readers prove that's true, year after year.

Not Cool By Peyton Banfell

A NEW 5 SECOND RULE Cars aren't the only hot topic for dogs; asphalt can be dangerous as well. The temperature of the road or sidewalk isn't something we normally think of when leashing up our dogs for a stroll, but it should be. Asphalt can be as hot as 143 degrees on an 87-degree day, which can seriously burn your pup's paws and cause skin destruction. One way to detect whether or not it's safe to walk your dog on pavement is by instituting a "5-second rule"—where you place your hand on the asphalt, and if you can leave it there for 5 seconds without getting burnt, then the dog should be all right too. The safest option is to walk your canine on the grass or dirt or later in the day all together. {in}

"I Wish" by Valerie George / Courtesy Photo With no restrictions to what one can show, or how it is shown, the exhibit “Bad Company” brings the possibility of thought-provoking art and proposes a temporary takeover of the First City Art Center (FCAC) space to voice concerns and boiling thoughts. During a year like 2016, an art show of this caliber seems very fitting, and curator and FCAC resident artist Felipe Muñoz was excited for the opportunity to showcase it. "To some, it may be seen as a collection of offensive, outrageous thoughts, and performances, to others it is a way of release and relief," he said. Muñoz said that the theme of “Bad Company” was chosen as a challenge. "Fellow FCAC resident artist Karin Gudmundson came to me and asked me to propose a short show, with some outrageous and provocative outline, that would make a different statement about the gallery," he said. "I agreed with it because I love challenges. So I thought about inviting guest artists to give their vision on what is provocative, intriguing and instigating." Muñoz said that none of the artists performing are connected with FCAC or the gallery so that the show would also bring a new look and new work to the walls of the gallery. August 11, 2016

"Bad Company was a name that came to me since people tend to see everyone that is different from the normal as bad company or bad influence," he said. "This show is a way of showing that art can be pushy, and that's a good thing." The exhibition will feature underground artists, scholars, students, and the opening reception will feature spoken word performances and a punk show with local band, Dicks From Mars. Sculptor Valerie George is submitting a multimedia installation titled "I Wish." George is the Associate Professor of Sculpture at the University of West Florida and Art Editor of Panhandler Magazine: A Journal of Art and Literature. "I Wish" is comprised of several fluorescent Buddha statues arranged on Plexiglas stands lit with ultraviolet light, and a video projection accompanied with sound. The sound is a remix of Miley Cyrus's "Pablow" by Brooklyn-based collaborator Smhoak Mosheein. "The work is a conceptual exploration of American commercial enterprise strategies and its willingness to seductively exploit anything in anyway, including commodification of ‘sacred' images, ideas, and objects, particularly as it panders to popular youth culture," George said.

DIFFERENCE MAKERS UWF COUNSELING AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS ACCREDITATION University of West Florida Counseling and Psychological Services recently earned full accreditation from the International Association of Counseling Services, the premier accrediting agency for university and college counseling services. UWF Counseling and Psychological Services offers counseling and therapy to help students find ways to more effectively manage, cope and grow with the stress associated with school and life. The IACS accreditation is the result of a comprehensive external review by IACS, including a two-day peer review site visit. “We are delighted to have been assessed by two external site reviewers to meet or exceed all of IACS standards and be granted full accreditation with our first application,” said Dr. Rebecca Kennedy, director of UWF Counseling and Psychological Services. “IACS accreditation is a prestigious designation.” In a letter addressed to Kennedy confirming the IACS accreditation, IACS Board of Accreditation Chair Dr. Janet D. Spoltore, ABPP, acknowledged the office for its training program, weekly case conferences, academic involvement and caring staff. Kennedy said UWF Counseling and Psychological Services treats approximately 900 students annually, providing nearly 4,800 appointments. The staff also makes 6,000 face-to-face contacts with students through outreach programs. “The three most common reasons for students to seek services are anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties,” Kennedy said. “The primary goal of counseling is to help students develop the personal awareness and skills necessary to overcome problems and to develop in ways that will allow them to take advantage of the educational opportunities at the University.” Seven counselors or psychologists, four pre-master’s trainees, three support personnel and a registered social work intern comprise the staff at UWF Counseling and Psychological Services. The center offers individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, biofeedback and psychoeducational workshops.

news of the weird DESIGNER LEATHER The late fashion designer Alexander McQueen (who dabbled in macabre collections, himself), might appreciate the work of acolyte Tina Gorjanc: She will grow McQueen's skin (from DNA off his hair) in a lab, add back his tattoos, and from that make leather handbags and jackets. Gorjanc, a recent graduate of McQueen's fashion school alma mater, bills the project mainly as showcasing the meager legal protections for abandoned bits of human DNA—and fears industrial use of such DNA on a much larger scale. WAR IS HELL (1) Jihadists had a rough year militarily and now suffer further from an array of field reports (such as a new book by retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn) that their most sensitive laptop computers captured in battle by U.S. forces seemed always to be loaded with pornography—including "vile" material involving kids and animals. (Initially, said one analyst, there was so much porn that U.S. intelligence figured its purpose was only to disguise tactical messages within the sex-scene pixels.) (2) On the other hand, jihadists can claim one victory, in that the actor Michael Caine said recently the terrorist-caused airport discomforts had finally convinced him to legally change his name to "Michael Caine" —after tiring of explaining to screeners why he had Maurice Micklewhite's (his birth name's) passport. AWKWARD FLIRTATIONS For Some Reason, Ladies Turned Them Down: (1) Patrick Marsh, 59, was charged with indecent exposure in Woodward Township, Pennsylvania, in July after he rang the doorbell of a 30-yearold female neighbor seeking, as he told police, "courtship." He greeted the woman naked, "with his genitals in his hands." (2) In Florida's The Villages senior community, Howard Sparber, 69, faces several charges after having, in June, fired 33 9mm rounds into the home of a woman who had been declining his sexual overtures. (The lady was away.)

SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS Friendly Bacteria: Plastics are well-known to decompose slowly, but the most difficult is the polyethylene used for containers such as the omnipresent water bottles, and despite recycling, tens of millions of metric tons wind up in landfills, where the plastic's strong polymer bonds resist breakdown. Recently, however, two Japanese researchers, after tedious trialand-error, identified a bacterium that views the polyethylene terephthalate as an efficient, tasty meal. A colleague of the two said further tweaking was necessary before using the bacteria industrially. AWESOME! Rapper Kasper Knight apparently shot himself in the cheek with a revolver on July 17 in Indianapolis—as part of a staged music video—according to raw footage of the incident posted on his Facebook page (and then of course seen by almost 2 million people). Knight, seen bleeding afterward, said he tried to recruit a shooter, but when no one volunteered, shot himself, anticipating (as in previous times he had been shot, by other people) "like a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale." THE PASSING PARADE (1) The Belton (Texas) Early Childhood (pre-kindergarten) School staged an "Enchanted Evening" prom in May and posted many photos on its Facebook page of little toddlers arrayed in tuxedos, gowns, corsages and of course, for some, limousines. (A Kansas City Star reporter suggested that this was just the beginning of an expensive parental trend.) (2) The village of Trecon was inducted recently into the club of French towns with silly names. "Tres con," translated, is "very stupid." Mayor Georges Leherle accepted the town's membership, joining 38 incumbent members including "Monteton" ("My Nipple") and "Mariol" ("Dumbass").
