D.C. REEVES Pensacola's Mayor D. C. Reeves has been named a 2023 Mayors' Institute on City Design Just City Mayoral Fellow, a cohort of eight mayors who will spend a semester digging deep into opportunities to promote justice in the built environment of their cities. The fellowship will be under the leadership of Professor Toni L. Griffin of the Just City Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. The cohort includes Albany, N.Y., Mayor Kathy Sheehan; Albuquerque, N.M., Mayor Tim Keller; Arlington, Texas, Mayor Jim Ross; Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Quinton Lucas; Monroe, La., Mayor Friday Ellis; Santa Fe, N.M., Mayor Alan Webber; and St. Louis, Mo., Mayor Tishaura O. Jones.

GARY LIGUORI University of West Florida President Martha D. Saunders announced the appointment of Dr. Liguori as provost and senior vice president, effective Jan. 23. In his role as provost, he will function as the institution's chief academic officer. The selection follows an extensive interview process with open meetings and included input from university leadership and the UWF community. Before his appointment, Liguori was the inaugural dean of the University of Rhode Island College of Health Sciences, where he boosted professional advising in his college, created a Teaching Fellow initiative, supported the creation of new academic units or degrees and secured annual increases in sponsored research grants and annual giving to the college.

VISIT PENSACOLA Director of Marketing & Communications Nicole Stacey has been promoted to Vice President of Destination Development, a new position to provide leadership for the marketing and sales team and assist CEO Darien Schaefer in implementing Visit Pensacola's goals and objectives. Destination Sales Manager Kaya Man has been promoted to Director of Sales & Services, and Wandy Samuel, previously Accounting Manager, has been promoted to Director of Finance and Administration. In the press announcement, CEO Schaefer said, "We have a great team of dedicated individuals passionate about our community, and these three deserving individuals have all demonstrated the ability to take that next step."

VERN BUCHANAN Though he has served as chair or ranking member for five of six House Ways and Means subcommittees, the congressman from Longboat Key, Fla., was passed over for chair of the full committee. The GOP Steering Committee in the House, on which Buchanan has served for years, chose Missouri Rep. Jason Smith instead. No member of the Florida congressional delegation will chair a full committee in the 118th Congress, even though Florida has the second-largest Republican delegation in the House.

MANNY DIAZ

The Florida Democratic Party chair resigned last week. In the 2022 midterm election, Democrats lost every statewide race on the ballot, with Gov. Ron DeSantis winning reelection by 19 percentage points over Charlie Crist and Sen. Marco Rubio defeating Val Demings by nearly 17 points. They also lost several major legislative races as well, reducing the party's representation to only 35 members in the 120-member Florida House and 12 in the 40-member Senate. In a five-page letter to the Democratic Executive Committee chairs and other key Florida Democrats, Diaz wrote, "We cannot win elections if we continue to rely on voter registration to drive turnout, build field operations only around elections, and expect to get our vote out without engaging voters where they live; listening to them and earning their trust—helping everyday people with their everyday problems." Amen.

GEORGE SANTOS Republican leaders of Nassau County, N.Y., have called for their new congressman to resign immediately. Nassau County GOP held a press conference last week and criticized Santos for "breaking the trust" of his constituents by lying about nearly every aspect of his background—from his religion and work history to his grandparents escaping the Holocaust. Nassau County GOP chair Joseph Cairo said, "He is a stain on the House of Representatives. He is a stain on the third congressional district." Santos was elected to serve New York's third congressional district with 54% of the vote in November.

outtakes

By Rick Outzen

The mayoral transition review has been completed, and a 102-page report has been delivered to Mayor D.C. Reeves. I'm glad to see the transition team examined how to make the city of Pensacola a great place to work.

The first decade of this century found city and county governments struggling with declining revenues. Organizational charts were redone, and positions were eliminated to save money. In 2010, the strong-mayor form of government added a new dynamic. Employees served at the whim of the elected mayor, and we saw city operations falter.

An independent review process for employee complaints was promised but never created. Employee evaluations were nearly non-existent, and the employee manual was abolished.

When he took over in 2018, Mayor Grover Robinson focused on culture, added depth to the leadership of each department, surveyed employees, created an objective employee evaluation system and turned around attitudes in city hall. As Janice Gilley's administration at the county unraveled, Robinson picked up some of the county's most experienced department heads. People once again wanted to work for the city of Pensacola.

Reeves' transition report has recommendations that will build on Robinson's successes. Transition chair Tim Kinsella understands the importance of having a strong, committed staff.

"Whatever great ideas that we come forward with, they don't matter a hill of beans unless the mayor has the people behind him to enact that vision going forward," Kinsella told me in an interview on WCOA.

Employee turnover is costly, and the city has had a high turnover rate under the strongmayor system. Kinsella said, "The more people turnover, the more training you've got to do, the more disruption there is to the processes within city hall. How can D.C. help build a culture where the people in city hall can reach their fullest potential as employees of City Hall? Because when they're reaching their fullest potential, that means the city's reaching its fullest potential."

The report recommends that the city ex-

amine its core values, code of ethics and mission statement and develop them for all employees to guide their actions daily. It also suggested Mayor Reeves look at the organizational structure of his office and consider adding a chief of staff to help implement his strategy and policy.

The last chief of staff was John Asmar during the first two years of the Hayward administration. Asmar's knowledge of municipal government helped find the funds to build the Woodland Heights and Theophalis May community centers, complete the construction of Community Maritime Park and lay the groundwork for ST Engineering to come to Pensacola.

The report states, "The Mayor should give consideration to bolstering his executive staff in order to give him the breathing room to lead with purpose and strategic forethought. Otherwise, he will be always in crisis mode, fighting the 'closest alligator to the canoe.'"

According to the report, the average time for an employee to remain with city hall is five years, and the most common reasons for leaving are lack of opportunity, culture, inadequate benefits and inadequate pay. The transition team recommends the city comprehensively review pay structure and benefits.

"People will stay with an organization if they believe the organization has their best interests at heart," states the report, "and City Hall can show this by investing in their professional development and benefits and by creating a culture that values their contributions."

The report also recommends reviewing the city's onboarding process for new employees because the first 90 days of a new employee's time are critical to the success of their entire career at that organization. The city should follow the orientation process with "career wellness checks" at the 30-60-90-180-day marks.

And to gauge whether the changes to culture are working, the transition team suggested Mayor Reeves develop an anonymous process for employee concerns and to give him feedback.

In the end, the city government will be able to compete for talent and better serve its citizens. {in} rick@inweekly.net

MAYOR REEVES' ROADMAP

The visioning aspect of the transition report, Kinsella stressed, is paramount. "There's no strategic vision in the city at the moment. I don't mean there's a bad one. I mean there is no strategic vision. And the city cannot succeed unless it knows where it wants to be 10, 20, 30 years from now."

The insights and recommendations presented on each area, Kinsella believes, will enable Reeves to define a strategic vision for Pensacola, one that takes the long view and guides the city for decades to come.

"This effort has to be long-term, persistent and realistic," Kinsella said. "If it isn't, then we're just treading water, looking for the next ship that's going to come by in the night that we're going to grab a ride with. We've got to be deliberate in how we do this for the benefit of all of us."

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Kinsella shared with Inweekly several useful takeaways from the transition report. Among the most key is highlighting the importance of an effective team.

"So, no matter what we do, whatever great ideas that we come forward with, they don't matter a hill of beans unless the mayor has the people behind him to enact that vision going forward," Kinsella said.

"Military is $7.8 billion worth of impact to this area; how the city couldn't have a strategic vision of how they deal with the military is incredulous to me," Kinsella said.

Another focal area that demands intense attention from the city is affordable housing. Kinsella said, "We call it attainable housing because it's not just about housing for people at the low end of the scale; it's people at the high end of the scale, too."

Whatever you call it, "affordable' or 'attainable"—and labels matter, especially when it comes to exploring financing options based on Average Median Income levels—housing tops Mayor Reeves' priority list.

"With housing, everything's on the table," Reeves said, describing Pensacola's housing dynamics as being in a "crisis mode." "More so on that issue than almost any other, everything's on the table. We will consider any and everything."

'THEY LOVE THIS CITY'

This isn't Mayor Reeves first mayoral transition report. He and DIB Executive Director Walker Wilson helped Quint Studer coordinate Mayor Grover Robinson's transition team four years ago. But Reeves feels this transition report is different.

By Jeremy Morrison

When embarking on a journey, it's useful to have a map. This is what D.C. Reeves, Pensacola's newly elected mayor, is gaining with the completion of his mayoral transition report.

"I'm really excited to dig into this thing and get things moving," Mayor Reeves said, following the final presentation of the transition report on Wednesday, Jan. 11.

The report is an ambitious document, months in the making. The process saw an expanded group of community volunteers—tapped based on their respective backgrounds and areas of expertise—wading into city operations and its relationship with its citizens to produce recommendations for the new mayor.

"I think the gravity of this report really shows the human investment, both the staff side and the administration side, and this amazing group of volunteers that wanted nothing other than to prepare me and our administration for the future," Reeves noted.

The report contains recommendations on issues facing the city, such as addressing a housing crunch, tending to public safety needs and working to address environmental issues. The report also delves into in-house territory, exploring inter-governmental aspects of municipal government, such as employee engagement, finances and strategic planning.

intends to lean into as he prioritizes his administration's initiatives. He also views the report as a living document, flexible enough to evolve as circumstances change.

"This is not going to be our sole navigational tool, but it's going to be a big one for us," Reeves said. "And also, it's going to be a reference when things come up, when priorities change. We'll always have this at our side, making sure we have all this knowledge memorialized."

'FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL OF US'

The transition report is a hefty stack of paper and ink—about 100 pages of optimism tempered with pragmatic realism.

On the morning of its release, transition chair Tim Kinsella asked Mayor Reeves if he'd dug into the document yet. He had, purposefully, not.

"Intentionally, I've seen bits and pieces of it, but I was like, 'I want to see the full report before I read it front to back,'" Reeves replied.

Capt. Kinsella, formerly the commanding officer at Naval Air Station Pensacola, knew the report would not be a silver bullet for all the city's issues, but he feels it is an integral step toward realizing Pensacola's full potential.

"This is not a panacea," Kinsella said. "The city, up to this point, has not had a strategic plan, so this is a roadmap for the mayor to create that strategic vision for the city."

To ensure that the city attracts and retains capable employees, Mayor Reeves has already announced his plan to conduct a study to determine if city employees are receiving equitable pay. Additionally, he intends to bring aboard a couple of new positions he considers key to the city's success—a senior grant writer and a director of economic and neighborhood development.

For Kinsella, the mayor's success will depend on building a positive culture in city hall.

"If you give your people a voice and they feel their voice is being heard and feel they are an appreciated member of that organization, they'll surprise you every day because they're bought into what you're trying to do," Kinsella said. "You can change a culture in about six months, but it's going to take a lot longer than that for the culture to really take hold. It'll take about a year and a half, maybe up to two years, for it to change because there's resistance to that change—and especially in a bureaucracy."

Another key takeaway, Kinsella said, is the need for Pensacola to collaborate with the feds, state and Escambia County.

"Everybody's got their own rice bowl, and everybody's concerned about their own rice bowl, and everyone's concerned about getting reelected within their own district, within their own little entity, whatever that is," Kinsella said. "And because of how our political system is set up, there's almost no need for our politicians to collaborate. That is a fast way to disaster."

Kinsella would like to see the city develop a deeper relationship with the military. While NAS Pensacola represents a sizable presence in the city, he feels municipal relations with the Navy have not been fully optimized. The transition report addressed the issue.

"Obviously, the big stark difference was, twice as many people," Reeves said. "And we knew that that would be laborious, but we also knew that it was going to end with us having more information."

Whereas Robinson's transition team featured one person per focus area, Mayor Reeves tapped two people for each area of focus. Additionally, the focus areas were expanded. Military relations, for example, was previously not on the official radar.

He understands his transition report represents a varied sampling of municipal efforts. Some, like the housing issue, are well-covered territory. Other aspects, such as strategic planning, offer up the opportunity for big-picture dreaming.

"There's probably some recommendations in here that we're already moving forward with. There's probably some recommendations that we're ready to move forward with, maybe haven't started yet, and then there'll be things in here that maybe we haven't thought about, Reeves said. "And I think that's going to be the really interesting part—how do we prioritize the things that maybe weren't on our radar the first couple of months?"

He looks forward to digging into the report and is hopeful that the work provides him with a mayoral compass of sorts. "We're going go back and absorb this and read through every word."

Throughout the report process, Kinsella has appreciated the opportunity to get to know his community better. "Pensacolians are passionate. They love this city, and they aren't afraid to let you know what's on their mind, which was wonderful. It has been amazing to deal with this wonderful community." {in}

SACRED CONFUSION The movie "Sacred" may appear on the Peacock network—the key word being "may." A mini-series based on the film—that debuted locally in November 2022— is even more tenuous.

The problem is "Sacred" creator Elrico Tunstall and his team repeatedly presented that they have a deal with Peacock.

On WCOA's morning show in late December, Tunstall said, "The story is after 11 long, hard years going through so many trials and tribulations and so many no's, we finally received a yes. We talked to the execs over at one of the leading distribution networks in the entire country, and that's Peacock."

He added, "Peacock came in and, and man, we are glad to say officially Pensacola, Fla., will

makers, WEAR-TV contacted NBC and Peacock, and neither had any knowledge of "Sacred" being on the Peacock schedule.

Tunstall and his attorney, Chris Crawford, appeared live on WCOA's "Real News with Rick Outzen" to answer questions about the future of "Sacred." Tunstall's production company has an agreement with a distributor who is "their best to place it with Peacock," according to Crawford.

"Peacock has taken an interest in African American-produced movies, and we believe with 100% certainty that the movie will be on Peacock," said the attorney. "Can I sit here today and give you the date certain? I can't. That's up to Peacock. But from everything we've heard, the movie will be on Peacock."

What about the mini-series? Crawford said, "The production company (Tunstall) made a business decision to take the plot from the movie and make a series with the hope that that will also be on Peacock. The distributor that we have for the movie is the same one that we have for the series, and they are in discussion with Peacock."

The attorney showed the agreement to Inweekly publisher Rick Outzen but would not disclose the company's name due to a non-disclosure agreement. Crawford said he spoke to the distributor and was told they didn't want to deal with calls from the media.

When asked if he felt like he jumped the gun in mentioning Peacock so early, Tunstall replied, "Well, no, not really because the deal with the movie being on Peacock is done. That is in place. It's just the fact that it takes 90 days to actually be streamed on a platform, and I really feel like that is the problem that we're running into."

Crawford pushed back against allegations that those attending the Jan. 7 auditions were defrauded.

"Well, anybody who has ever been to an open casting before thinks that they're going to be on

HBO, NBC or ABC before they ever got cast. That's like me going to Tom Thumb with a $25 million lottery, not winning and saying, 'Well, I thought I was going to get it. What do you mean?' It was nonsensical for me to think that people are defrauded because there's no guaranteed deal with Peacock for the series."

So what is the distributor's commitment to the series? Crawford said, "The deal with the distributor for the series is what they call a shoparound deal. So how it works is some distributor who takes a liking to the story will sign an agreement where they have the exclusive right to do different things, to either sell it, to produce it, to market it, to do all these things. Sometimes they get paid upfront; the majority of the time, they get paid once it is sold to somebody else from the royalties at a certain percentage. That's what we have here. It's a contingency contract for the distributor to land the project with somebody."

He continued, "And the distributor, to be very honest, I would say specializes in African American-produced content. They have relationships with Peacock that has taken an interest in African American content … That's why we feel very hopeful that the series would be on Peacock, but they also have a relationship with Pluto, Prime, Breezy with many other streaming content providers."

When pressed for more specifics, Crawford added, "It's a two-year shop-around deal for the series. The distributor has two years to land the series with a streaming service, and then they are to get paid. They are working with Peacock, but they don't have anything to fully sell yet. The movie had a sizzle trailer that you can see on the website, and that's one of the things that helped land the movie deal with Peacock. So we need to produce the content before we can get a final answer."

A NATIONAL TREASURE PASSES Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Emond of Cantonment passed away at age 104 last week.

Last May, he broke his own Guinness World Record as "World's Oldest Conductor" when he led the Pensacola Civic Band in the seventh-annual Pensacola Memorial Day Concert at the Community Maritime Park amphitheater.

Retired Rear Admiral Kyle Cozad, the president and CEO of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation, discussed Emond with Inweekly publisher Rick Outzen on WCOA's morning show.

"Frank was a World War II survivor. He was a musician who happened to be up on deck on board the USS Pennsylvania on Dec. 7th," shared Cozad. "He played the French horn, but you know, that day he fought fires. He carried the dead, did first aid and helped his shipmates. The guy was just treasure."

Before Emond died, Cozad visited him in the hospital. "He was not very lucid. I whispered in his ear, 'Frank, you gotta eat. You gotta get stronger because we need you there for the Glenn Miller Orchestra.' And I'll be darn. The next time I went in, he was awake, recognized me, and we talked."

He continued, "I'll tell you the thing that will stay with me forever is when I got ready to leave, I went over and patted him on his shoulder and said, 'Hey, Frank, everybody loves you. We love you. We love what you stand for, and we're praying for you.' And, you know, he was pretty weak, but he stuck his hand out and shook my hand. I'll never forget that. We truly lost an American treasure."

MIRAFLORES

BURIAL

GROUNDS As a result of research following the discovery of human remains at Miraflores Park in June 2021, the city of Pensacola will be conducting a burial ground study of the park's grounds to assess, interpret and commemorate the site.

"These were people. They were part of a community. These people could be ancestors of current Pensacolians," Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves said at this presser on Jan. 10.

The bones were discovered in the crawl space of the Boy Scout building by scouts who were cleaning the area. With assistance from the University of West Florida's Anthropology Department, local authorities determined that the remains were likely disturbed during the construction of the building in 1934.

Since the discovery, the Florida Department of State has determined that the remains were likely interred in a historic African American cemetery within the park's modern boundaries and that the site falls under the city's jurisdiction. Historical documents show the park was a burial ground during the 1880s when it was known as Havana Square, according to Adrian Walker, the city's newly hired cultural affairs/resources coordinator.

The city will be careful in how it studies the site. Walker said, "It is important that we do not disturb the ground any further at Miraflores Park and that we respect the final resting place of these historic community members."

The plans are to conduct a Ground Penetrating Radar, or GPR, survey of the property. Beyond tree roots, there should be little to prohibit such a non-invasive, subterranean search for further burials. Walker said, "Fortunately, Miraflores Park is relatively undeveloped, other than the Boy Scout building and modern amenities, so we are hopeful that the GPR survey will provide favorable results."

If further burials are discovered during the GPR process, the city would then move to denote the sites in some way. The skeletal remains found in the crawlspace represent two individuals. According to research conducted by UWF bioanthropologist Katie Miller Wolf, one individual was female, between the age of 35 and 44, while the other was male, between the age of 40 and 47. It is not known when the individuals were buried.

"The skeletal analysis consisted of over 100 co-mingled, or mixed-up, skeletal fragments," explained Walker. "This type of analysis is lengthy, and it requires the utmost care, attention to detail and respect as we look at each skeletal fragment individually."

In addition to revealing the gender and age range of these individuals, the skeletal analysis also revealed something else—ancestral clues.

"Ancestry is difficult to determine, with partial skeletal remains," said Mayor Reeves, "but features of the female individual suggest there are traits that align with the various known populations in historic Pensacola, such as African, Creole and European."

"During the historic period, Pensacola was very diverse and composed of a multi-cultural community that is not always easily defined," said Walker. "In Pensacola, Creole typically refers to an individual of African descent and European descent, that being usually Spanish or French."

Having a cemetery like the one that once graced this site disappear is relatively common. Walker said, "This goes back to how history has played out. Those people were marginalized during the historic period and then eventually somebody comes through and wants to build a building, or they want to clean up a park, and so they do, and then it gets lost with time."

The city's cultural affairs coordinator said that Pensacola is actually fortunate in this instance, as burial grounds such as this are often discovered on long-developed property. Since the 1880s, Miraflores has been largely left alone. Walker said, "There's a whole preservation aspect we have that other communities don't have."

"To put it frankly, there's something we can do about learning more, where in some instances, you know, that is not always the case," Mayor Reeves said. "You may know it's there but can't do much about it. But since it's a city park, a relatively undeveloped city park, there's something we can do."

To that end, Reeves said, the city is forming a community advisory group tasked with gathering public input on how best to interpret and commemorate the former burial grounds and the eventual reinterment of the two individuals discovered beneath the Boy Scout building. The mayor said he didn't know if this discovery of a former burial ground would merit potentially shifting the property's use from a park to a commemoration site.

"It's too early to say; we've got to see and evaluate what we've got," Reeves said.

More information regarding the former burial ground at Miraflores Park will hopefully be learned during the community advisory group process, Walker said. The city archeologist is hopeful that some community members might have information on the site stemming from stories passed down through the generations.

"That's where even social memory can play a big part," Walker said. "We may be able to gain a lot from the community if there's any social memory of that space that didn't get written down because it was about a marginalized community."

Mayor Reeves plans to convene this community advisory group soon. The city has also launched a webpage dedicated to this topic, cityofpensacola.com/miraflores.

HAVANA SQUARE NOTES

Inweekly spent time reviewing newspaper archives and found a report from City Engineer Galt Chipley to the city board of commissioners that was published in The Pensacolian on Aug. 13, 1887. Chipley wrote, "I find all the city squares and Bayview Park free of trespass except Malaga Square, occupied by a schoolhouse, and Havana Square, which is being used as a negro graveyard."

He recommended, "If Pensacola grows, as we expect, this square will be the most beautiful in the city. It is situated on rising ground and at such an elevation that a fine view of both bayou and bay can be had. I would suggest that further interment should be stopped, and all those already buried should be removed."

The newspaper made no mention of whether the bodies buried at the cemetery were ever removed. We know of two that were not.

The Boy Scout building in the park was named the Elebash Boy and Girl Scout Center in 1952 to honor the late Eugene Elebash—an initiative by the Kiwanis Club. Eugene Elebash Sr. founded Elebash Jewelry Co. with his brother LeGrand when they bought a watchmaker and jewelry business in 1919 from Peter Lindenstruth.

Havana Square was renamed Miraflores Park on June 12, 1965, to honor Pensacola's sister city, Miraflores, Peru. A bust of Peruvian poet Ricardo Palma was placed in the park.

SUPPORTING SCHOOLS Navy Federal Credit Union hosted over 120 Escambia County district administrators and principals from more than 60 schools to share how Navy Federal team members support students and education. Nearly 4,000 Navy Federal employees participate in the credit union's School Partnership Program, which offers a variety of ways for employees to volunteer at local schools.

"We are grateful for that friendship and support provided by Navy Federal," said Escambia County Superintendent Dr. Timothy A. Smith. "The heart and generosity they provide to us is a difference-maker."

Navy Federal's School Partnerships Programs in the Pensacola Area include field trips to its Pensacola campus, Life Skills Toolkits and volunteers for Pen Pals and Book Clubs. Other Navy Federal volunteer partnerships include the "School to Work" program through Big Brothers Big Sisters and the "Ready Kids" reading program.

"It's amazing to know that Navy Federal is there to support our students and families," said Ferry Pass Elementary School principal Catrena Fieg. "As a principal, it's great to know there is a resource to help guide our students that shows that our community cares."

"It was wonderful to have our partners back on campus," said Jennifer McFarren, Navy Federal's Corporate Social Responsibility manager. "We're excited to share how our volunteers can make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of our future community leaders."

Educators can email school_partnership@ navyfederal.org to join the program or learn more.

INVESTING IN THE CITY Last week, Mayor D.C. Reeves announced plans to allocate funding from the city's budget to make significant investments in three vital areas—public safety, strategic planning, and parks and facilities maintenance. The funding allocation aligns with Mayor Reeves' commitment to ensuring public safety for all city residents, along with his vision for creating a cohesive strategic plan to help ensure the City of Pensacola's success in the future.

"These really are the anchor priorities for me," Reeves said at his Jan. 10 press conference.

According to City Finance Director Amy Lovoy, the investments that Mayor Reeves will recommend to the Pensacola City Council represent about 3 or 4 million dollars. He will be drawing from carry-forward funds stemming from the city's general fund, where there is about $5 million available, and from Local Option Sales Tax, or LOST, carry-forward funds, where there is another $2.8 million available.

The largest recommended investment is the construction of a new pool house at Roger Scott at the cost of $1.2 million. The pool currently subsists on port-a-potties. The mayor plans to use $600,000 from the carry-forward funds toward new bathrooms. "A city pool, almost morally, being run without an operable bathroom is not something I'm interested in."

As he told Inweekly earlier this month, Reeves prefers to upkeep existing facilities instead of developing new projects—"While it may not be as fun as a groundbreaking, these things have to happen. I'm just in the mode of wanting to maintain the things that we have."

Reeves added, "It's fun to build shiny new things, but when we have 94 parks and 10 community centers, we need to keep those up."

Where public safety is concerned, the mayor will recommend to the council funding technology upgrades at the Pensacola Police Department, including body camera upgrades, two additional officers to work the city's urban core, a new tactical rescue vehicle, additional barricades and security fencing, as well as the implementation of traffic calming measures. Reeves is also looking to reaffirm already-on-the-books expenditures, such as ensuring that funds remain available for the newly created deputy fire-chief position.

Mayor Reeves also hopes to use these carry-forward funds for a collection of other maintenance and strategic planning purposes. There are plans for a city-wide strategic plan for $300,000, as well as an assessment of the city's Land Development Code and a congestion management plan. New positions—a new senior grant writer and economic and neighborhood development director—are on the table. He also wants a study to ensure city employees are receiving equitable pay. Sidewalk improvements, money for park maintenance, city hall improvements and an assessment of public safety buildings round out the mayor's requests.

In determining how best to expend the city's carry-forward funds, Mayor Reeves said his team talked with each city department, including the

Pensacola Police Department and Pensacola Fire Department, to ascertain the greatest needs.

"These aren't just things that we've come up with last minute, and these are things that we have researched," he said. "We asked a lot of questions. We didn't just come in with the back of a napkin and say, 'These things sound good;' we want to invest this money wisely."

Ultimately, the Pensacola City Council has the final say on budgetary decisions at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 19. Mayor Reeves said he has conferred with each of the seven council members and feels confident his requests align with their visions for the carry-forward money.

"Obviously, these are things that I have discussed with them," Reeves said. "I feel like that is my duty, to make sure they understand the direction we're going. So, I would say that we feel pretty good about it. I wouldn't want to put our council in a position of proposing things they'd never heard of or that they would have a lot of questions about."

PART PROTEST In conjunction with the national day of action convened by the Women's March, Pensacola Abortion Rights Taskforce (PART) will host a rally for abortion rights at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 22, in front of the Federal Court House, 100 N. Palafox.

"With the Dobbs' decision in June, the Supreme Court overruled both Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992)," PART said in its press announcement. "The decision stripped away the federal right to abortion, putting the issue in the hands of individual states. One in three people who might seek an abortion (women, nonbinary persons and transmen) have already lost access to abortion in their home states."

PART was formed in response to Pensacola's only abortion clinic, American Family Planning, having its license suspended for minor infractions.

The organization wrote, "January 22 is the anniversary of the Roe decision. It will be a national day of action. Across the country, we will affirm that our movement is #BiggerthanRoe. Pensacola will be doing its PART. As we raise our voices across the country, we will send the message to our lawmakers that we will not sit back while our rights and freedoms are taken from us."

The reports of Phil Thomas Katt's (PTK) death were greatly exaggerated.

It was 1986, and the eccentric Pensacolabased musician with jet-black hair was about to release his first album, "Nine Lives." Katt was already gaining notoriety for Kattline, an answering machine line people could call to hear recorded skits by the musician. Then one day, Katt had the mischievous idea to do a publicity stunt for the album by faking his own death on Kattline.

"Hi, I'm Phil Thomas Katt. I'm sorry I can't come to the phone right now but I'm dead," is the

message he left for his teenage fans. The news spread like wildfire. Kids left messages with their tearful condolences.

The next day, he recorded a new message— "Guess you forgot, Katts have nine lives. And you can have "Nine Lives," too, at your local record store." Cassettes of his new album "Nine Lives" were a local hit, and his legend only grew from there.

The legend of PTK is the subject of a new documentary, "Space Happy: Phil Thomas Katt and the Uncharted Zone," and it's playing at this

PHIL THOMAS KATT AND

THE UNCHARTED

BY JOSHUA ENCINIAS

year's Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Filmmaker Lou Crisitello debuted a shorter version of the documentary at Pensacon in 2019, and with any luck, he hopes to reunite Katt and his friends for a local screening soon. In the meantime, everyone across the country can stream the documentary on Slamdance's website later this month.

Crisitello owns a family-run media company out of Brooklyn called Perpetual Doom. The indie label and production company releases music and creates music videos and merchandise, and with "Space Happy," they're getting into documentary storytelling.

"Space Happy" originated years ago, when Crisitello met Katt and knew instantly they were kindred spirits. PTK hosts a show highlighting Gulf Coast indie musicians called "The Uncharted Zone" (UZTV for short), and Crisitello's Perpetual Doom also gives a platform for indie artists outside the mainstream.

"We're both of the DIY aesthetic, working with minimal-to-no budgets," said Crisitello. "When I first discovered Phil's videos, of course, there was a chuckle but also admiration."

The filmmaker says Katt's an inspiration to the development of Perpetual Doom and mirrors UZTV's own development. "I consider us allies, and I have some ideas how we can expand upon the 'Space Happy' universe," said Crisitello.

To make the short, and now the documentary, Crisitello made multiple trips to Pensacola over the years. And his entry point to Pensacola was Katt and his Space Happy crew, including local artists Mark Gormley and Ken Manning.

It's evident the filmmaker knows a lighter, more creative side of Pensacola, and that feeling shows up throughout the documentary.

But that isn't to say that it's all fluff. Crisitello shows the struggle of Katt's friend, independent

ZONE

Like many artists before him, Manning also has to work outside of his field to maintain a livelihood. This part of the documentary is handled respectfully and lets us in to see the person inside the artist.

One of UZTV's biggest success stories is local musician Gormley, whose song "Without You" went viral on their YouTube channel in December 2008. It was a happy surprise for everyone involved because Gormley's music previously went undiscovered for decades.

In the early aughts, Gormly asked Katt to make a video for him, which was added to UZTV's rotation and went mega-viral with millions of views.

"The main thing that moved me about Mark Gormley's success was seeing someone around my age make it," said Katt.

Early in his career as a music video director, PTK would hang out at local bars looking for acts to work with. Nowadays, his reputation precedes him, so artists seek him out. His workload has forced his music career on the backburner, but he tells us he's getting back into the studio.

"I have three songs in the works right now," said Katt. "Once I have those, I'll have enough songs to release my fourth album."

Surprisingly, Katt has never played The Handlebar. When asked why, he said, simply, "I never really thought about it." But he has played auditoriums, and skating rinks, from here to Hattiesburg, Miss.

PTK knows his productions are low-fi and rough around the edges, and there's an earnestness about it that make some people nervous. Over the years, some in the press have mocked PTK, but he isn't concerned.

"It's not changing my world. I'm still doing what I want to do and try to improve every day," said Katt.

If anything, he likes the idea that he might've influenced a generation of comedians like Tim & Eric, who also make low-fi videos, but mock the type of person who would make them.

"It would be cool if I influenced them. That would be a nice little legacy," said Katt. {in}

Riding The Maximalist Wave

By Dakota Parks

spiration from bands like XTC, Orange Juice and Prefab Sprout.

"I love the return to maximalism," Holtzen said, "just trying to cram as much as you can into tracks sonically, where it still sounds fun but chaotically cohesive. That's the kind of energy we're going for."

As a group, the music process is collaborative, starting with lyrics written by Holtzen and joining sounds layered together by the members, each contributing their own riffs and pieces to create these experimental songs, sometimes jokingly referred to as "spooky Scooby Doo music."

to better understand these parts of myself. I'm grateful to have this medium and community to express that. Pensacola's music scene has been so welcoming."

The members of Mid Evil Times are just as diverse and eclectic as their tunes—young, female, queer, trans and nonbinary. Both Holtzen and Ryan explained Mid Evil Times isn't a girl band, but it is a band with pronouns. They credit the Pensacola punk scene for laying this groundwork of acceptance and community decades before their entrance.

"People come up to us and say, 'I think it's so cool that y'all are a bunch of girls and trans folk in the band,' and I get where they're coming from because I never saw a lot of girls or queer people in bands when I was growing up," Ryan said. "It's nice to be in a changing community where there's a lot more of us now. I think Mid Evil Times is a representation of this diverse community of people. Our audience is always a melting pot of queer kids and old heads."

It started with an inside joke—a pilgrimage to Medieval Times dinner theater and an available garage to practice in. Six best friends, now bandmates, set out to learn their new instruments and form Mid Evil Times, Pensacola's latest new wave band. For many of the bandmates, though, their musical journey started in the hotbed of Pensacola's punk scene.

"A lot of us grew up in the music scene here," Allyson Ryan, bassist for Mid Evil Times, explained. "Both of my parents are punks, and I've always loved punk music, so I started going to shows at The Handlebar when I was 15 because my friends were in a punk band. Cintia, our rhythm guitarist, played drums for Sour!, Ryan was in a band in Atlanta, and Morgan had a really strong understanding of music theory, but most of us had

never been in a band before, and we've only been playing our instruments for one year now."

Mid Evil Times made their splash in the music scene in March 2022, playing their first show at The Legion and dropping multiple EPs on Bandcamp. The group consists of Ryan Holtzen (she/they) on guitar and vocals, Allyson Ryan (she/her) on bass, Cintia Nelson (she/her) on guitar, Seb Wynn (he/they) on keys, Morgan Churchill (he/they) on drums and Fiama Mastrangelo (they/she) as the band manager and occasional feature saxophonist.

Drawing influence from the New Wave craze of the late 1970s-early 1980s, Mid Evil Times blends together punk rock, pop elements and electronic riffs with funky harmonies to achieve a maximalist and playful sound. The group finds in-

"When I'm writing lyrics, so many of the songs are based on whatever happens to be captivating me. We were watching 'Pawn Stars' on the History Channel, and I saw what a messed-up industry it is, so I wrote 'Broken Gold' about it," Holtzen elaborated. "Then there's our song 'Doggone,' which was just this crazy brainchild of an idea about a dog getting abducted by aliens and learning how to love. It's our whackiest and most experimental song. It's an amalgamation of a long gothic riff, new wave and funk with almost a Western tilt at the end of the song."

For Holtzen, creating music is a cathartic and manic outpour of creativity but, most importantly, a place of exploration and self-expression.

"Without Mid Evil Times, I wouldn't have come out to myself as quickly as I did," Holtzen said. "Being onstage and putting on the most extravagant outfits I could find in my closet and going thrifting to find clothes to perform in really set off this giant lightbulb over my head. It's been a way for me to explore being queer and trans—challenging myself both musically and

As the band members themselves grow and evolve, so does the music. Without a proper studio to record live music in, Mid Evil Times has released seven EPs on Bandcamp, recorded and pieced together digitally. Soon, they hope to record these tracks live for Spotify.

"Those tracks no longer represent how we play the songs because our music has evolved," Ryan said. "We've enhanced the songs as we continued to play them, and we want to capture that live sound. We know the clock is ticking because we're all so young. We already lost Fiama to graduate school, and we know we're approaching that time in our lives when we're going to be moving, getting jobs and having bigger things come up that disrupt how we practice and book shows."

In the future, Mid Evil Times plans to record music live for streaming platforms, create at least one music video and book a micro tour to two or three cities. For now, though, they are taking it day by day—riding the wave as long as it lasts.

"When we first started, our only goal was to play at least one show," Ryan said. "We've had such a crazy reception and so much momentum, though, and we want to make the most of it. I think we're just gonna ride it out until it stops. For the short amount of time that we've been playing music together, it just goes to show that if you're interested in music, you can be your own Mid Evil Times." {in}

LOST PENSACOLA EXHIBIT "Lost Pensacola" is a poster exhibit that examines lost icons from Pensacola's past by Joe Vinson. Voices of Pensacola, 117 E. Government St.

SUDDENLY AMERICAN: A MEETING OF HERITAGE AND COUNTRY This exhibit looks at the transition of Florida from a Spanish territory to an American region, which formally occurred in 1821. Florida's embattled history dates back much farther than 1821. From refusing independence during the American Revolution to wanting their own freedom in 1810, Florida loved to cause problems. The United States eyed the region early on, using the Seminole Wars as an excuse to seize territory before turning to diplomatic means to acquire Florida. The Adams-Onis Treaty, debated and initially agreed upon in 1819, resulted in Spain ceding control of East Florida to the United States. At the same time, Spain also agreed to give up all claims on West Florida, in essence giving the entire Florida territory over to the United States. Ratified in 1821, the treaty was cause for celebration in Pensacola, the capital of West Florida, as it officially became part of America. On view at Pensacola Museum of History through Dec. 2023. Visit historicpensacola.org for details.

CELEBRATE! 50 YEARS OF THE GREAT GULF COAST ARTS FESTIVAL

WEEK OF JANUARY 19

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): Good news, Aries! During the next episode in the age-old struggle between the Impulsive You and the Farsighted You, I predict the latter will achieve a ringing victory. Hallelujah! I also foresee you overcoming the temptation to quit a project prematurely, and instead pushing on to complete it. There's more! You will refrain from knocking your head against an obstacle in the vain hope of toppling it. Instead, you will round up helpers to help you wield a battering ram that will produce the desired toppling.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): You may not have a clear picture of where you'll be going in the next five years. The detailed master plan that your higher self devised for you before you were born might even be obscure. But I'm here to tell you that in the coming weeks, a new lucidity can be yours. You can summon an acute instinct about which way is forward, if only you will recognize the subtle ways it's speaking to you. In fact, I believe you will regularly know what move you should make *next* so as to expedite your long-term evolution. Life will be rewarding you with mysterious step-by-step guidance. Now please write a short statement affirming your intention to love, honor and obey your intuition.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): Do you believe in the existence of guardian angels and spirit guides and ancestors who can intervene in your behalf from the other side of the veil? Do you wonder if maybe your invisible friends from childhood show up in your vicinity now and then to offer you support and kindness? Or how about the animals you loved earlier in your life but who have since passed away? Is it possible their souls have never left you, but are available if you need their affection? Even if your rational mind tells you that none of these possibilities are authentic, Gemini, I suspect you will nevertheless be the beneficiary of their assistance in the coming weeks and months. Their influence will be even more potent if you proceed as if they are real.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): Among your potential strengths as a human being are empathy, sensitivity and emotional intelligence. You may or may not choose to develop these natural gifts. But if you do, they can be instrumental in helping

you achieve the only kind of success that's really meaningful for you—which is success that your heart and soul love as much as your head and your ego. According to my astrological analysis, you are moving into a phase of your cycle when you will have extra power to ripen your empathy, sensitivity and emotional intelligence—and thereby enhance your ability to achieve the kind of success that's meaningful for you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): "Dear Rob the Astrologer: The computer firewall at my youth hostel is blocking your website. I am being told you practice 'Illegal Folklore and Insurrectionary Fairy Tales.' What the hell? Can you do anything at your end to get me access to your wonderful horoscopes? Maybe cut back a bit on your Illegal Folklore and Insurrectionary Fairy Tales? Haha. Just kidding. I love that crazy stuff. —Deprived Leo in Ireland." Dear Deprived: Many of you Leos have lately had problems getting all the Illegal Folklore and Insurrectionary Fairy Tales you need. I hope you will push hard to compensate. In my estimation, you currently have a strong need for dreamy stories that appeal to the Wild Child in you. They're essential to your mental and spiritual health.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): Select two sticky situations in your world that you would love to reinvent. Let other annoyances and glitches just slide for now. Then cultivate a focused desire to do everything in your power to transform the two awkward or messy circumstances. Proceed as if you will have to do all the work yourself— that nothing will change for the better unless you take full responsibility. If you're absolutely sure this involves other people altering their behavior, consider the possibility that maybe your behavior needs to shift as well.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): Three out of four toxic waste dumps in the US are located in predominantly African American or Latino communities. Two million tons of radioactive uranium tailings have been dumped on Native American lands. Three hundred thousand Latino farm workers in the US suffer from pesticide-related sicknesses every year. These travesties make me furious. More importantly, my rage motivates me to mitigate these travesties, like by educating my readers about them and donating money to groups crusading to fix the problems. In the coming weeks, Scorpio, I hope you will take advantage of your astrological potentials by using your anger constructively, too. Now is a favorable time for you to fight fiercely and tenderly for what's right.

that some bugs are beautiful, like butterflies, dragonflies and jeweled beetles. Keep these thoughts in mind, Capricorn, as you contemplate my counsel. Metaphorically speaking, you will have experiences with bugs in the next three weeks. But this won't be a problem if you ally yourself with the good, helpful and beautiful bugs.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): In his book "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life," Donald Miller acknowledges that fear can be a "guide to keep us safe." Being afraid may indeed have its uses and benefits. But Miller adds that it's also "a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life." In my astrological opinion, Virgo, fear will be of service to you—a guide to keep you safe—about nine percent of the time in 2023. Around 83 percent of the time, it will be a manipulative emotion not worth acting on. For the other eight percent, it will be neither. Please plan accordingly.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21): I predict that love will bring you many AHA! moments in 2023. You can't fully prepare yourself for them—and that's a good thing! The epiphanies will be brighter and deeper if they are unexpected. Your motivation to learn the available lessons will be wilder and stronger if you enjoy being surprised. So be ready for lots of entertaining rumbles and reverberations, Sagittarius. The adjustments you will be asked to make will often be strenuous and fun. The inspirations you will be invited to harvest will require you to outgrow some of your previous beliefs about the nature of intimacy and togetherness.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): Some insects are helpful to humans. For example, ladybugs devour aphids, which are highly destructive to crops. Damsel bugs eat the pests called leafhoppers, and lacewings feed on the pernicious nuisances known as mealybugs. I also remind you

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): What are "brain orgasms"? Can you seek them out and make them happen, or do you have to wait patiently for them to arrive in their own sweet time? When they occur, what should you do? Surrender into them with all your welcome fully unleashed? Or should you question whether they're real, be suspicious of their blessings, or dismiss them as irrelevant flukes? I encourage you to meditate on questions like these. That will raise your receptivity to the stream of brain orgasms that life will offer you in the coming weeks.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): My Piscean pagan friend Valie says God is stealthy yet blatant, like a green chameleon perched on a green leaf. After analyzing the astrological omens, I conclude that this is a helpful, all-purpose metaphor for you to use in the coming weeks. I encourage you to be alert for beauty that is hidden in plain sight. See if you can spy the miracles embedded within the ordinary. Ask life to pleasantly blow your mind over and over again. Here's your phrase of power: open secret.

THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: Ask life to bring you an insight that will help you ameliorate a long-running dilemma. newsletter.freewillastrology.com {in}

Metaphorically speaking, you will have experiences with bugs in the next three weeks.

news of the weird

CAVITY SAM LIVES On Jan. 9 in Kyiv, Ukraine, a surgeon removed an unexploded grenade from the chest cavity of a 28-year-old Ukrainian soldier, The Guardian reported. The weapon lay just below the man's heart, and two "sappers" (military engineering soldiers) were on hand during the delicate operation to neutralize the device after it was removed. Doctors were unable to use electrocoagulation, a method that controls bleeding, because of fear that the grenade might detonate. "I think this case will go down in medical textbooks," said Anton Gerashchenko, Ukraine's internal affairs ministerial adviser. No word about how the grenade ended up in the soldier's chest cavity to begin with. He will now undergo rehabilitation.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Two arsonists were in the hot seat—and they hadn't even been caught—after they set fire to a Bakersfield, California, immigration services building on Jan. 2, Fox News reported. Footage from a Ring security camera captured the masked individuals as they spread gasoline around the building's base. But when one bent to light the fire, the flames spread to both people's clothes, causing them to run away screaming. The suspects are still at large.

EYEWITNESS NEWS Riders on the MAX light rail system in Gresham, Oregon, witnessed a brutal assault around 2 a.m. on Jan. 3, KPTV reported. A 78-year-old man on the train platform was attacked by another man, who "chewed off the victim's ear and part of his face," police said. "The injury was so severe that responders could see the victim's skull." The suspect did not provide investigators with a real name, but through fingerprints he was identified as Koryn Kraemer, 25, who had recently moved to the area from Georgia. He was charged with assault in the second degree.

AERO-NAUGHTY-CAL NEWS Passengers aboard a charter flight on Jan. 8 from the Siberian city of Magan, Russia (where it was 41 degrees below zero), had to brave even more extreme temperatures when the rear door of the plane flew open in midflight, the New York Post reported. "People had their hats blown off," said Sergei Lidrik, 33, a passenger headed to Magadan on Russia's Pacific coast. One man had just unfastened his seatbelt when the door blew open, and he was nearly sucked out, along with luggage and other personal belongings. The plane, an Antonov An26, was manufactured between 1970 and 1986. The pilot turned back to Magan and made an emergency landing, and there were no injuries.

IT'S BAAAACCKKK The atmospheric river battering California has another weird consequence, SFGate reported on Jan. 10. The storms are making the Golden Gate bridge eerily "sing." Nearby residents first noticed the phenomenon during summer storms in 2020, when they heard a "screeching that sounded like torture." A Building and Operating Committee report from 2020 said the cause was the retrofit of 12,000 slats on the west side of the bridge. The cost to add clips that

would stop the noise is $450,000; officials said installation is due in the coming months.

INEXPLICABLE In Coventry, England, someone dubbed the Cat Shaver is catching cats and shaving a square into their fur, Metro News reported on Jan. 11. Not just a small patch, either: 6-yearold Tallulah had a large bald spot on her stomach that owner Bonnie Towe noticed when her daughter picked the cat up. "Did someone take her and bring her back? Or did they do it in a car?" Towe wondered. "We did notice she wasn't going out quite as much. She mostly sits at home and looks out the window." Other victims' owners have discovered one another on Facebook, speculating that the cats are being marked as targets. But no other harm has come to any of them.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY A walker out for a stroll in Wickham, Australia, in early January came across what they thought was a dead body clothed in a tracksuit, according to ABC News. Police cordoned off the area and began an investigation, but later concluded that the remains belonged to a cow. Roeburne Police Sgt. Dale Harmer voiced his frustration: "It has caused police to use an entire day and three police officers guarding a scene for something which was never a human in the first place." And what a waste of a perfectly fine tracksuit.

BREAK OUT THE CRAB LEGS Firefighters were called to the Associated Milk Producers Inc. plant in Portage, Wisconsin, on Jan. 2 after flames broke out there, WMTV reported. But they were hampered by melted butter: "Butter was running down like 3 inches thick on the steps, so our guys were ... trying to drag the hose line. The hose line got so full of butter they couldn't hang onto it anymore," said fire Chief Troy Haase. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources was called in after the fire was contained to assess the butter runoff, some of which went to a water treatment plant. But about 20 gallons ended up in a nearby canal; booms were used to contain the buttery mess. Officials say the environmental impact appears to be low.

CHECK TWICE, ENGRAVE ONCE The Washington, D.C., Korean War Wall of Remembrance pays tribute to more than 36,000 American service members who were killed in that conflict. But according to The New York Times, it's also rife with misspellings and omissions. Historians Hal Barker and Edward Barker Jr. of Texas, who run the Korean War Project, call the monument "a damn mess" and say it displays more than 1,000 spelling errors, and 500 names are missing altogether. The National Park Service passed the buck to the Defense Department, which supplied the names. DOD said compiling the list was "challenging." "No one bothered to check it before they set it in stone," said Ted Barker. "But now that it has been done, we need to get it right." {in}
