more than 5,500 colleges, Pensacola State College is on the list of Top 100 Associate Degree Producers, according to Community College Week magazine. This is the eighth straight year the college has received this national recognition. The ranking is based on data collected by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics in the 2014-2015 academic year. Community College Week put Pensacola State 79th overall in awarding associate degrees in all disciplines, non-minority.

Mark E. Walker blasted Florida's Secretary of State over a provision of state law that allowed election supervisors to declare a ballot illegal if a vote-by-mail ballot does not match the signature on file, even though the law offers a fix for ballots that come in with no signature at all. Judge Walker said the law threatens the right to vote, calling it an "obscene" disenfranchisement. He directed state officials to fix the problem.

ASHTON HAYWARD The mayor of Pensacola traveled with former President Bill Clinton's entourage for the Hillary Clinton rally held at the city's E.E. Cobb Resource Center but didn't stay for Clinton's speech. Hayward slipped out of the gym after introducing Commissioner Lumon May, but not without being noticed by the crowd. Funny, no photos of the mayor with President Clinton appeared on the city's or the mayor's Facebook pages.

ESCAMBIA COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

Escambia County has one of the largest percentages of at-risk students in Florida. Its elementary and middle schools are among the worst in the state. When Florida TaxWatch announced this year's top performing principals who help students achieve in Florida's high-risk public schools, none of the principals were from Escambia County. No nominations were accepted for the awards; the Principal Leadership Awards is an entirely data-driven program based on performance and results. Maybe the winners could hold a seminar in Pensacola.

DEBATES WORKED The political pundits and campaign operatives have dissected the third and final presidential debate held on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

We have read, heard, and seen clips about the memorable one-liners–Putin’s puppet, bad hombres, very sleazy campaign, nasty woman, etc.‚—and about Donald Trump not expressly saying he would accept the results of the election.

However, the lasting impression for me was how great our democracy is. We held three debates for the top office in this land at three universities. The effort was non-partisan.

Established in 1987, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation.

Its primary purpose is to sponsor and produce debates for the United States presidential and vice presidential candidates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates.

After the Kennedy-Nixon debates in 1960, presidential debates weren’t held again until 1976. The subsequent debates in 1980 and 1984 were hastily arranged and subject to cancellation if other side got upset about the arrangements. The CPD changed that. Formed by then-chairmen of the Democratic and Republican National Committees, Paul G. Kirk, Jr., and Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., the organization has sponsored all the presidential debates from 1988 to this election cycle.

Having universities host the debates has added another element to the debates.

The students, faculty and administration of the University of Nevada Las Vegas were excited to host the event. Many wore their school colors and T-shirts with “The Road to the White House goes through UNLV” on them.

For UNLV, the debate was a teaching moment. University President Len Jessup talked about the national lecture series the school held tied to the debate topics. UNLV partnered with the local school district. Its nationally ranked debate team worked with the Clark County high school debate teams, watching the debates live and analyzing them.

Over 5,000 journalists attended the event from dozens of nations and international news networks. It was exciting to see Kareem Abdul-Jabber, Mark Cuban, Emmitt Smith, and other well-known people, as well as talk to Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews, Rick Wilson, and the team from C-Span.

But best of all, voters heard directly from the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates without filters in each debate. We got to measure the candidates as they stood side by side on the stage, something that rarely happens in other countries.

The debates are testimonies to our election system being one of the finest in the world. {in} rick@inweekly.net

THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE, VEGAS STYLE

Photo by Rick Outzen

By Rick Outzen Last week, the news networks and 5,000 journalists descended on the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus for the third and final presidential debate. I was among those reporters.

On the flight to Las Vegas, the passengers on the full Southwest jet talked more about the Rolling Stones concert and the Levin Papantonio law firm's Mass Torts Made Perfect Seminar at the Bellagio than the debate. The Stones concert was at the same time as the debate. Mass Torts Made Perfect had scheduled a cocktail party with Robert Kennedy, Jr. and his sister Kerry and guests. Only a handful of journalists on the flight talked about the third and final showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, Oct. 19, CNN began broadcasting at 1 a.m. on a stage on the north side of the campus in a large grassy field behind the Carlson Education Building. Next to the stage, the crowd could watch the broadcast on a giant LED wall. Nearby, the network's social mediacentric #MyVote camper invited students to record their views on the election in exchange for t-shirts and other swag.

MSNBC set up at the Alumni Amphitheatre outside the Student Union started its telecasts at 6 a.m. Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews and Chris Hayes mingled with the students as they went from the MSNBC green room in the union to the stage. NBA 66

Hall of Famer and author Kareem AbdulJabbar, Princeton professor emeritus Cornel West, Trump senior advisor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Rick Wilson, a political strategist from Florida, walked through the crowd.

Fox News aired from the MGM Grand on the Las Vegas Strip on the Talent Pool deck and had no presence on the UNLV campus before the debate.

I started the day with breakfast at the Peppermill Restaurant, the iconic restaurant lounge that was featured in such movies as “Casino,” “Showgirls,” and “The Cotton Club.” The daily newspaper announced that the Rolling Stones had cancelled their Oct. 19 concert for health reasons. Maybe Mick Jaggar wanted to watch the debate, too.

Nearby the Culinary Workers Union was organizing a protest outside the Trump International Las Vegas hotel. The union was locked in a battle with Trump to bargain for his hotel employees who voted last year to unionize. Later in the day, a half dozen taco trucks would form a "wall" outside hotel and serve free tacos.

When I arrived on the UNLV campus, signs and banners surrounded both CNN and MSNBC stages. The UNLV Marching Band played bumper music for CNN. The UNLV cheerleaders, spirit groups, and mascot were regulars in the background for MSNBC. Most of the students, faculty, and alumni wore the school's colors, scarlet and gray. Several wore gray t-shirts with "Keep Calm and Debate On" on the front and "The Road to the

White House Runs Thru UNLV" on the back.

In September 2008, Inweekly attended the John McCain-Barack Obama debate on the University of Mississippi campus.

Then the campus had a festival atmosphere. In the age of terrorism, the UNLV campus was much more subdued. Classes were canceled. Neither Clinton or Trump's campaign teams set up booths for people to hand out campaign swag.

The UNLV campus was surrounded by three miles of fencing. Over 190 shipping containers were strategically placed to secure the area around the Thomas and Mack Center, home of the Running Rebels and the epicenter for the debate. Law enforcement from several agencies strolled around the campus. Snipers watched over the area from atop buildings.

The UNLV lacked the campus activity of McCain-Obama debate, but the school made every effort to welcome the media to the only 2016 presidential debate held west of St. Louis. A thousand student volunteers served as guides.

UNLV's Black Mountain Institute and the Boyd School of Law sponsored a media green room in the Beverly Rogers Literature and Law Building. In the room, the university held a series what they called "pop ups." The 90-minute events offer media a one-stop-shop opportunity to get one-on-one interviews.

UNLV President Len Jessup said, "Here at UNLV, we are a university that is different, we're daring, and we're diverse. We're

not a very old university. We're about 60 years old, and we're on a pathway to become a top tier university in research and in education and in community impact."

Inweekly interviewed student government leaders.

"I think it's an amazing, as a member of student government, to be able to see my constituents get involved and all of the members of student government who took the opportunity to see what's going on and to actually see how the process functions from a personal level," said UNLV Campus Senator Rylee Taylor.

She said the UNLV student government had appropriated $200,000 from its annual budget to contribute to the cost of hosting the presidential debate.

Christian Ogata, a senior majoring in political science, serves as the Chief Justice for UNLV student government. He talked about the how campus events have built excitement for the debate.

"Every new thing that happens is just more and more exciting," said Ogata. "It started with the initial rally that got everybody excited for it last spring, and now fast forward to here."

He said, "I was actually a stand-in today on the debate stage. From there to now is just so exciting to see it all unfold and watch everything go down."

Being the head of the student judicial system, Ogata said he hoped the presidential candidates would talk about U.S. Supreme Court appointments.

"There are a lot of particular issues that are important to so many people in the United States, issues that have to be decided and that will be decided inevitably by the next justice who fills the seat that was left by Justice Scalia," he said.

Ogata regretted that judicial appointments have gotten so political.

"It's important that the legislative branch feels comfortable with whoever is in place, obviously because it's up to them to inevitably approve them," he said. "I do think that, at a certain point, we need to make sure that all three branches are able to function to their fullest capacity.

Congress, in general, should just take more action to make sure that seat is filled."

Ogata was excited to see how the two candidates handled the final presidential debate.

"What I'm going to be looking for the most tonight is to see whether or not candidates sort of stick with what they've done," he said. "This last debate is really their last opportunity to showcase them interacting. " Obata added, "Will Clinton comes out a little bit harder than she has? Will Trump be loud and boisterous again or whether or not he'll be a little bit more refined? It will be interesting to see."

The media had two options to view the inweekly.net

debate: Spin Alley at Cox Pavilion Media Center on the concourse at the Thomas and Mack Center or the Student Union ballroom with students, alumni and special guests. I chose the Student Union venue.

In the ballroom, over 300 people munched on small polish sausages, boneless buffalo chicken strips, pretzels, cheese, veggies and cupcakes. A few volunteers from both campaigns were in attendance, having won their tickets for their work for their candidates. The crowd either sat at tables and chairs in front on top large televisions or stood in the back near the food and drink.

In the minutes before the debate, moderator Chris Wallace asked the audience inside the Thomas and Mack Center to not interfere with the debate by cheering or clapping. He reminded the audience that the debate was for the candidates to make their cases to be president.

"You are not a participant here, you're a guest," said Wallace.

The crowd in the Student Union didn't have to follow Wallace's instructions.

Cheers, jeers, applause, and laughter were common. The Clinton supporters were the most vocal, but few Trump enthusiasts bellowed over the noise with an occasional "Hell Yeah" shout.

When Donald Trump said, "If you go with what Hillary is saying, in the ninth month you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby," women in the crowd visually cringed.

Boos followed each time he repeated the phrase.

The union audience laughed when Trump mentioned "bad hombres." Others couldn't believe the Republican used such words. Hillary Clinton drew applause when she mentioned Trump used undocumented labor to build Trump Tower.

When Clinton pivoted the question on her paid speeches to a discussion of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump supporters laughed and shouted, "There she goes again."

In the Thomas and Mack Center, Trump said, "Putin, from everything I see has no respect for this person."

Clinton injected with might have been the best jab of the night, "Well, that's because he would rather have a puppet as president of the United States."

Trump's response—"No puppet. You're the puppet"—was drowned out by applause and cheers in the Student Union.

The Republican scored points with his supporters with, "I say the one thing you have over me is experience. But it is bad experience because what you've done has turned out badly."

He added, "The problem is, you talk but you don't get anything done, Hillary.

You don't. Just like when you ran the State Department, $6 billion was missing. How do you miss $6 billion?"

The Trump campaign loved it, but Clinton had her response prepared.

"On the day when I was in the situation

room monitoring the raid that brought Osama bin Laden to justice, he was hosting The Celebrity Apprentice," said Clinton. "So I'm happy to compare my 30 years of experience…"

The debate was like watching a tennis match with both sides cheering each volley.

When Wallace asked Trump about the allegations of groping several women, the Republican pivoted the discussion to Clinton's e-mails "where she destroyed 33,000 e-mails criminally." Clinton changed the subject to his attacks on the Khan family, Sen. John McCain and the federal judge hearing the lawsuit concerning Trump University.

Trump called the Clinton Foundation a "criminal enterprise." Clinton fired back that Trump's foundation "took money from other people and bought a six-foot portrait of Donald."

The turning point of the debate was the discussion of whether the election was rigged. In the rallies leading up to the debate, Trump warned the crowds that Clinton was in the process of trying to steal the election. His running mate, Governor Mike Pence, pledged on Sunday that he and Trump would accept the result of this election. His daughter Ivanka said the same thing hours before the debate.

Wallace asked Trump, "I want to ask you here on the stage tonight, do you make the same commitment that you'll absolutely accept the result of the election?"

Trump said.

"I will look at it at the time. What I've seen, what I've seen, is so bad."

The moderator wouldn't let the question drop, even as Trump tried to bring up the "dishonest" media and that Clinton should not have been allowed to run because she is "guilty of a very, very serious crime."

"But, sir, there is a tradition in this country, in fact, one of the prides of this country is the peaceful transition of power and no matter how hard fought a campaign is that at the end of the campaign, that the loser concedes to the winner," injected Wallace. "Are you saying you're not prepared now to commit to that principle?"

Trump replied, "What I'm saying is that I will tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense, okay?"

The crowd in the Student Union, Republicans and Democrats, let out a collective, "Oh, come on, man."

A simple "yes" may have turned the debate in his favor, but his refusal to do so overshadowed the rest of the debate.

People began to lose interest. Even Trump's "such a nasty woman" comment failed to draw much of a response. After 90 minutes, the group was ready to head back to their dorm rooms, homes and hotel rooms.

Wallace closed, "We want to thank the University of Nevada Las Vegas and its students for having us."

The crowd applauded as it made for the exits.

The moderator added, "One thing everyone here can agree on is we hope you will go vote. It is one of the honors and obligations of living in this great country.

Thank you and good night." {in}

“You are not a participant here, you're a guest.” Chris Wallace.

HOW TO CREATE AND SUSTAIN EXCELLENCE

By Duwayne Escobedo Brad Black never imagined he would become one of the most internationally sought-after authorities to help people, organizations and communities become and remain successful.

The president, CEO and founder of HUMANeX Ventures has worked for nearly three decades on honing his concepts and tools to maximize the potential of leaders, employees, companies and even communities, like Pensacola.

"I did not expect to go into HR," he told the Inweekly. "It wasn't anything I was attracted to."

However, when Black realized he could change people's lives and organizations' cultures for the better, he devoted his career to the endeavor.

During his career, he has preached excellence with well-known organizations in every field across the globe, such as Walt Disney Company, Whirlpool Corporation, Mayo Health Systems, The Cheesecake Factory and many others.

"The models I established at Stryker are universal," he said. "They're fundamentals most people don't know well. Ninety percent don't know and don't practice them."

He began developing his ideas in the early 1980s at Pitney Bowes. The organization was highlighted as an example by leadership expert Jim Collins in his book "Good to Great."

Black started putting his knowledge and experience to work at The Stryker Corporation, a leader today in orthopedic medical technology.

It was at Stryker where The Gallup Organization named Black to its Hall of Fame for "building a world-class integrated human resource model" that helps companies reach the top and stay there. Marcus Buckingham, who later became a colleague of Black's at Gallup, featured Black's model in two books he co-authored, "First, Break All the Rules" and "Now, Discover Your Strengths."

He worked with Gallup in the 1990s and then a Gallup spinoff, Talent+, where Black led dramatic growth with its integrated model for achieving success.

Black finally created HUMANeX Ventures in 2007, where he has developed many top performing companies within a "community of excellence." Both "Community Capitalism" by Richard Taub and "Great by Choice" by Collins have highlighted key aspects of Black's work.

Now, Pensacola leaders and organizations will get to learn Black's model for success. He is the keynote speaker at 10:15 a.m. Thursday at EntreCon Pensacola 2016 at Pensacola Little Theatre. It is the second annual conference sponsored by Studer Community Institute.

"This model works," Black said. "This model transforms companies, and it transforms a community."

Black pointed out how Stryker, a Kalamazoo, Mich. company, now provides college for free to anyone who wants to go to Western Michigan. He also noted that it is a leading employer in the country of retired NFL players, who are used to working for an "elite" organization.

"It has become an incredible magnet," Black said.

Just how deeply ingrained is the culture of success in Kalamazoo? He said 125 leaders of communities from across the country recently spent three days learning about what his community has done to reach success and what it is doing to sustain it.

"They come and stay and then want to join us," Black said. "I see a bell-shaped curve. There are people who are inspired enough and figure it out and people who give you excuses."

Another example of Kalamazoo's success is that it even extends to the Western Michigan University Broncos football team.

Black got involved in recent years in applying his model for success to athletes and sports programs, which he said is HUMANeX's fastest growing market currently.

Black and HUMANeX were integral in assessing 35-year-old P.J. Fleck, who was the youngest candidate for the job and had no head football coaching experience.

Now, the first college football head coach born in the 1980s has Western Michigan unbeaten and ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in school history. He has led the team to its first Mid-American Conference Championship since 1988. Fleck's Broncos won its first game over a top-ranked team, after going 0-32. He led his team to backto-back bowl games and won the first bowl game in the program's history.

Black said Fleck's and Western Michigan's new winning tradition over his past four seasons have led about 50 sports programs a month to seek out his success model, including Notre Dame, Stanford, Ohio State, Princeton and Alabama. They

also ask Black and his company to conduct its survey to help them assess their team's recruits, and in the case of professional teams their draft picks, to predict future success.

"Fleck had the worst resume," Black recalled. "He had no experience to do the job he's doing. But he was the most talented and most gifted. He was the person with the highest potential. That's why Western Michigan did not do the traditional thing.

You have to listen and find out what a person is capable of doing."

Black said he's excited about working with Pensacola and working with the coastal city's community leader Quint Studer.

"You have a paradise there, but you're not actually achieving your potential yet," Black said. "Having Studer there is a huge, huge, huge community asset. He's not a good leader; he's a great leader. Ninetynine percent of communities would love to have him live and invest in their cities."

These days, Black cannot imagine researching, studying and consulting in any other field. Maximizing human resources is right where he wants to be.

"I get to work with progressive leaders, who want to change people's lives for the better," Black said. "When I see organizations realize their potential, or when I see people have life-changing experiences--it doesn't matter the profession--that's fun to watch. It's fun to see. What I get to do is a blast every day." {in}

WOMEN BUILD After months of fundraising, 124 dedicated women exceeded their goal to build a Habitat for Humanity home for a family in need. The 11 teams of Women Builders raised a total of $75,053 to cover the construction of the home, which will be sold with a zero interest mortgage to the homebuyer, Kenyata Cunningham and her 8-year-old daughter.

The Gulf Power customer service representative said that the Habitat house will be her dream home and that she appreciates everything the Women Build teams did.

Cunningham will be one of the first homeowners in her entire family and is looking forward to investing her money into something she can call her own. The teams were on the build site Oct. 15 through 22.

"Your hard work means everything to me," Cunningham said. "You all went above and beyond, and I thank you so much. We, women, are the definition of strength and dignity. To come together and bring awareness about building affordable homes in our community, all while building my home and making my dreams come true, is amazing."

The Women Build teams celebrated their accomplishments at First City Arts Center on Oct. 14, before kicking off construction.

Pensacola Habitat's Director of Development and Communication Nancy Wolfe said that she was thrilled that the teams exceeded their goals by over $3,000 total.

"Eleven teams have stepped up to the plate in the name of affordable housing for a family in our community," Wolfe said.

"They have encouraged each other and the community to join in the effort by organizing so many different kinds of fundraising events and activities."

The Breathe Yoga team fundraised by holding auctions for private classes, raising nearly $700. Breathe Yoga and Wellness Center Director Tara Taylor said that for her, Women Build is an empowering experience.

"I think this is such a great way to give back to the community and to other women especially," Taylor said. "It shows that we have such a generous community."

Amanda Clonts, a former Habitat for Humanity crew leader, has been heavily involved in Habitat volunteer work for several years. She raised over $600 as an individual for this year's Women Build.

"My friends and family know how much I love Habitat and what they do for our community, so it was a great way for them to give back as well," Clonts said. "They know it's a passion of mine as well as other women involved in Women Build."

MORE IMPACT COMING After their

annual meeting on Sunday, Oct. 17, the Pensacola Bay Area IMPACT 100 awarded 10 more nonprofits with grants of $108,200.

That's 77 grants that have been awarded in the organization's 13 years and a total of $8,318,000 funneled into the community.

Handing out the big checks to the grant winners will never get old, said Board Member and incoming President, Meri DeSalvo Asmar.

"I think it gets more exciting each year hearing the crowd cheer and seeing faces light up with smiles and tears of joy," she added. "Once again, we have 10 worthy grant recipients with transformational projects that will change the future of our community."

Grants cover the five main focus areas including Arts & Culture, Education, Environment, Recreation & Preservation, Family and Health & Wellness. While all of the grants serve the community in big ways, Asmar said she's encouraged by newer projects that benefit youth.

"The Studer Community Institute Brain Bags is another huge step in the right direction for our community to improve kindergarten readiness for our children," she said.

"By educating parents about the power of language to build babies' brains, hopefully, we can begin moving the needle in Pensacola by starting at birth.”

Asmar added, “Another exciting project is The First Tee grant that will resurrect the iconic Goofy Golf to be used as a training facility to develop our youth by reinforcing values such as integrity, respect, and perseverance through the game of golf."

IMPACT women have already started planning for the next year of grants with membership recruitments beginning Nov. 1 at Portofino at 4:30 p.m.

"In 2017, we will carry on our mission of ‘setting an example of effective philanthropy' and hopefully continue to generate interest among the nonprofits to dream big and apply for these game changing grants," Asmar said. We hope to recruit 1100 members this year to hopefully give away at least one more $100,000 grant."

700-bed jail, commercial development along Pace Boulevard and Fairfield Drive, surface parking and basins to collect stormwater runoff can all fit on the former McDonald Shopping Center site.

The design-build group was hired for $3.94 million to develop the criteria for the estimated $144.6 million development that will be used to attract potential construction firms that will be selected based on their qualifications.

DLR Group plans to advertise the project Nov. 7 and produce a shortlist of three companies for the commission’s approval.

The facility, which is scheduled to open in November 2019, replaces the county’s old detention and booking building on Leonard Street that was destroyed from an explosion from a natural gas leak in April 2014. The tragedy killed two inmates and injured 184 inmates and detention staff.

DLR Group senior principal Joe Haines addressed one of the commission’s primary concerns about the $4.5 million location for the new jail. He said, “The site will work and preserve your retail.”

The county decided to hear the presentation of the three highest qualified finalists to build the jail. Those meetings will be closed, which state law allows, but the proposals will be open to public record once a firm is selected. The county administration will negotiate the final price with the firm that the commissioners select.

Commissioners also settled on a financing plan to build the jail, which relies on $48.5 million from FEMA and state funds.

The county would fund the balance by using money from the general fund and about $36 million total from the 1-cent local option sales tax to pay off a 30-year bond by 2047 of $82 million at 2.5-2.75% interest.

Commissioners expressed pleasure with the financing plan presented by Assistant County Administrator Amy Lovoy. They agreed it would have minimal impact on future commissioners to do large projects.

The county still has a few outstanding issues such as developing an economic development and neighborhood revitalization plan roughly 12-blocks in diameter around the Pace and Fairfield corner, building a youth center in the vicinity, and ensuring that small, minority and women-owned businesses have priority along the Pace and Fairfield frontage.{in}

We know it might be hard to believe, but there is more to look forward to this November than the longest election cycle ever finally winding down. One of those things is Foo Foo Fest.

If you happen to be unfamiliar or just need a quick Foo Foo Fest refresher, please allow us to reintroduce you to one of our favorite fall events.

Now in its third year, Foo Foo Fest is a 12day celebration dedicated to existing and new cultural events throughout the city.

Basically, it's everything you've ever loved about fall in Pensacola, like the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival, plus tons of new events, all happening around the same time to encourage locals and tourists alike to take in as much culture as possible.

October 27, 2016

Some of our local arts and cultural organizations received grant money from Art, Culture and Entertainment, Inc. (ACE)* to help make their events possible and lower the cost for attendees.

Here's a full list of this year's grant recipients. These 21 organizations will draw from nearly $300,000 in funding to create one-of-a-kind events as part of the 12-day Foo Foo experience.

• Friends of Downtown Pensacola • Ballet Pensacola • First City Art Center • Pensacola Little Theatre/Appetite 4 Life • Pensacola Opera • West Fla. Literary Foundation • African American Heritage Society

• Pensacola Choral Society • Clean Energy Fest • Jazz Society of Pensacola • Pensacola MESS Hall • Pensacola Bay Concert Band • Pensacola Civic Band • Pensacola Lighthouse Foundation • Pensacola Museum of Art • Pensacola Symphony Orchestra • Pensacola Waterfront Mission • My Brothers & Sisters • Legal Services of NW Fla. • Truth for Youth • Frank Brown Int’l Songwriters Festival This year, Foo Foo Fest will start Thursday, Nov. 3 and runs through Monday, Nov. 14, meaning you've got plenty of time to map out

your own personal schedule and buy tickets for any events that require them. We hope you use this issue as a guide to do just that.

(And don't worry if you're bad at planning ahead—we'll remind you about all the Foo Foo happenings in the next two issues, too.) * If you're curious about the team that puts on Foo Foo, here's the lowdown on Art, Culture and Entertainment, Inc. (ACE): ACE is a non-profit organization that receives Federal, State of Florida, Escambia County, City of Pensacola, corporate, foundation, and personal funds to disperse through a granting process to promote Escambia County as an arts and cultural destination through the annual Foo Foo Fest and other marketing efforts.

WORDS WITH FRIENDS

By Jennifer Leigh

For 30 years, the West Florida Literary Federation (WFLF) has been sponsoring literary programs all over Northwest Florida. It's a role the organization takes "joyously, but seriously," said Board Member John Baradell.

This year, WFLF will be a part of Foo Foo Fest for the first time, with author readings and workshops. The organization is so thrilled to be a part of the festival, they're already planning to make these events an annual happening, Baradell said.

"Obviously, I'm excited about our event and what I can learn from it," he added. "I also love the overall vibe of Foo Foo." Poet Barbara Henning and creative writer Lewis Warsh will not only be discussing their work but also hosting workshops. On Sunday, Nov. 13, Pensacola's Poet Laureate Jamey Jones will interview the two authors over Sunday brunch. It's a 360-degree view of the writing process.

"Both Lewis Walsh and Barbara Henning are living legends that helped pioneer the ‘New York School' of beat poetry and the overall evolution of writing," Baradell said. "Though Ginsberg, Kerouac, Burroughs, and Waldman are most known for this particular style, Warsh and Henning continued it by using their own voices. They are both versatile writers and educators."

The workshops are the most important aspect of the WFLF events on the Foo Foo calendar, explains Baradell.

"I've never met a writer that doesn't constantly try to improve their craft," he said. "Though some of our members have been lucky enough to have been published, that's largely because of our continuing learning from others."

All skill levels are welcomed at the workshops—so there's no need to be intimidated. Part of the WFLF mission is to bring people together and educate and assist members in their literary endeavors.

"We're a very friendly community for all skill levels," Baradell said. "We're works in progress, too."

The events aren't just taking place indoor either. Throughout Foo Foo Fest, you may come across some spoken word with some pop-up poetry scattered throughout downtown Pensacola.

"Don't worry," Baradell said. "We're not planning to startle anyone with our writers' works. Think Shakespeareanstyle readings on street corners; but a bit cooler for the twenty-first century."

WFLF is host to nearly all of the writing-related events on the Foo Foo schedule. When celebrating art, it's only fitting to celebrate authors and poets, Baradell said.

"It's important because art is life," he said. "Literary arts capture moments in our human experience in a very personal way.

Art is art, which particular one speaks to us just depends on what we're into."

FOO FOO FEST CREATIVE REMEMBERING

On Nov. 1 and 3, Rachael Pongetti, the Pensacola Graffiti Bridge Project, Art Beyond Walls, and First City Art Center, will collaborate for the second year in a row to create a special two-night Day of the Dead themed festival. The festival includes an interactive community-created memorial wall in conjunction with Foo Foo Fest.

The idea for the festival and memorial wall originated from Pongetti, a photographer and teacher, after she photographed the 17th Avenue graffiti bridge trellis daily, for several years. Alongside the colorful graffiti, high school shout outs, and political opinions, she observed dozens of memorials in honor of lost loved ones.

“In our culture, people often have a hard time dealing with death,” said Pongetti, artistic director of the upcoming Day of the Dead celebration. “We tend to repress it, and there’s not a lot of ritual beyond the funeral to remember our loved ones.”

"The public is invited to bring a portrait of someone they're connected with who has departed—that can be a loved one, a

famous person, or even a pet—to paste on the memorial wall," Pongetti said.

Members of the Art Beyond Walls organization will help participants paste their images onto the side of the First City Art Center building facing Gonzalez Street, creating a community mural of collaged portraits.

Participants should bring laser printed images because the mural will stay up in the community for several months.

Laser printed images do not bleed over time like ink-jet printed pictures often do, Pongetti explained, and will help to preserve the mural.

The response from last year’s interactive mural event was so positive, the collaborating groups decided to expand on the activities this year and will offer live music from New Orleans band, Sweet Crude, face painting, an altar-art exhibit, a second-line procession, poetry readings, and live story recordings.

“Last year’s Day of the Dead Community Memorial was the most meaningful event that I have ever attended,” said Pongetti.

“Everyone I’ve spoken to who came last year

By Hana Frenette

said they were just so touched by it. You just really feel connected to the community at this event.”

Pongetti also noted participants would be encouraged to draw around the photos on the wall this year.

“After last year, we realized people were wanting to write on the pictures, and were adding the names or the year they were born,” she said.

Plenty of markers and paint pens will be made available for participants to add inscriptions, messages, or titles to the wall or the small memorial rock garden.

“It’s a very rewarding experience, knowing that you’re creating something to honor that person. It really feels good and it’s not a sad time, because there is so much joy there too,” Pongetti said.

The second day of the celebration will feature temporary altar installations and tabletop shrines in various outdoor areas of the festival grounds as part of an exhibit titled, Altars of Love, said Suzanne Findeisen, youth art director for First City Art Center.

“They can be larger in scale, there’s no size restrictions,” Findeisen said. “We really think it could be any piece of art, as long as it’s dedicated to someone you love or memorializing them in some way.”

Toward the end of the second night and the conclusion of the celebration, Poet Laureate of Northwest Florida Jamey Jones will read a few selected works as part of a loosely structured closing service.

“We’ll have seating for the readings, and for people to sit and observe while others add portraits to the wall, or to sit and listen to someone tell a story about their loved one,” Findeisen said. “We’re just trying to inspire the community with different ways to remember and think of the great times while memorializing those who’ve passed on in a positive and happy way.” {in}

WIZARDS, WARRIORS, AND DANCE

Photo by Davis House Photography Each year, Ballet Pensacola kicks off its season with a production so original you can't help but get excited for what's coming next.

616 1

This year, that production swirls around the excitement and fantasy world of magic with a show inspired by the story of "Harry Potter"— and just in time for Foo Foo Fest.

"Wizards & Warriors" is a loose translation of the beloved books and movies, said Artistic Director Richard Steinert, who chose to abstain from watching or reading anything "Harry Potter" related, but like many of us muggles has grasped the general plot of the story inadvertently.

"I was inspired by the ‘Harry Potter' craze," explained Steinert. "We'll have special effects and a wizard school. There are also three main characters, two boys and a girl, like the story."

The ballet is a collaborative effort between Steinert, his wife and Ballet Mistress Christine Duhon and Production Designer Lance Brannon. Steinert credits his staff and the dancers for bringing his self-described crazy ideas into reality.

"As artistic director, I make the final decisions, but they tell me what they think is possible, what we're able to do with costumes and sets," he said.

At Walt Disney World, engineers are called imagineers—which Steinert said is a fitting description of the design team.

"Our job is to imagine stuff and to keep stepping up our game," he said.

It can be difficult to step up as a cultural non-profit, which is why working with Foo Foo Fest can be a big blessing for organizations such as Ballet Pensacola. This show will also be the debut of the new lighting system that was purchased thanks to winning one of last year's IMPACT 100 grants.

"It makes a tremendous difference," Steinert said of the grants. "We can have greater special effects and costumes … it's just nice when you've got some money to spend."

Foo Foo Fest is good for the city, Steinert said. Not just because it provides grants to deserving organizations, but because it promotes Pensacola.

"It's a symbiotic relationship," he said. "I really love that it exists."

It's not lost on Steinert and the creative minds behind Ballet Pensacola that many folks in the audience for "Wizards & War-

riors" may be first-time guests of the ballet.

That's what Foo Foo Fest is all about — taking in new experiences and celebrating the diverse culture. Steinert doesn't feel pressure but instead is excited about introducing the art form to new folks. And it's the perfect show to start them off.

"It's a show for everybody," he said. "I always want the audience to sit back and say ‘Wow, that's a kick ass ballet company. I didn't know ballet could be like this, that it could look like this.' It's not just swans and nutcrackers." {in}

Tanya Gallagher / Courtesy Photo Born and raised in West Pensacola, singer-songwriter Tanya Gallagher is returning for a special homecoming show in the wake of her new album "Virginia."

Three years ago, Gallagher moved to Vancouver to pursue a Ph.D. in Forestry, after attending the University of West Florida for her Undergraduate and Masters degrees. Before she moved, Gallagher released "Oh My Love," a folky solo album full of heartbreak tunes.

Gallagher said that the songs for "Virginia" were written almost entirely in the fall of 2013 and recorded by her good friend and producer Brandon Hoffman in his East Vancouver living room.

"These songs capture a very specific moment in time," she said. "Word for word they are an honest portrayal of how I felt October 27, 2016

during that season. It's not necessarily what we set out to do, but it's what happened."

She said that the name "Virginia" was inspired by the last song she wrote for the album.

"I had come back to Pensacola for Christmas 2013, and while I was home, I wrote the title track of the record in the guest room of my parents' house using my late friend Dave Schelander's Martin Guitar," she said. "It sounds weird, but it's as if Dave whispered that song into my ear. It came pouring out in all of 15 minutes or so."

The first two tracks from "Virginia" differ in that they are fully produced, unlike any other song she's released.

"The other five tracks are stripped down acoustic tracks," she said. "These songs are also much blunter in terms of writing style; I didn't really hold anything back. That said, I laugh at how desperate

news of the weird RELIGION ADAPTS TO TECHNOLOGY A network of freelance Buddhist priests in Japan last year began offering in-home, a la carte services (for those adherents who shun temples) through Amazon in Japan, quoting fixed fees and bypassing the usual awkward deliberation over "donations." And in September, Pastor David Taylor of Joshua Media Ministries International (St. Louis, Missouri) announced, to great fanfare, that he had "resurrected" a diabetic woman, 40 minutes after her death, by sending the lady a text message—through Facebook (though, of course, neither she nor any family member was available for an interview).

REDNECK CHRONICLES (1) As a dispute escalated between two brothers at their recycling plant in Bow, New Hampshire, in October, Peter Emanuel used his front-end loader to tip over the crane being operated

by Stanley Emanuel (who managed to jump out just in time). Peter was arrested. (2) Thousands flocked to the annual Roadkill Cooking Festival in Marlinton, West Virginia, in September, featuring an array of "tasting" dishes (e.g., black bear, possum, elk, snapping turtle) with a competition in which judges deducted points if the "chef" had not managed to remove all gravel or asphalt.

FINE POINTS OF CANADIAN LAW Luckily, thought Jamie Richardson of Whitehorse, Yukon, she had medical insurance for her 7-year-old Akita, who had torn a ligament in a hind leg, but it turned out that the policy, written by Canada's largest pet insurer, Petsecure, did not cover dog injuries from "jumping, running, slipping, tripping or playing"—that is, Richardson concluded, injuries caused by "being a dog." (After Richardson protested, Petsecure relented but, it said, only because Richardson had been a longtime customer.)

THE JOB OF THE RESEARCHER Charles Foster, recent recipient of the "Ig Nobel" prize in biology (and a fellow at Oxford University), has recently lived as a badger (inside a hole in Wales), an otter playing in rivers, and an "urban fox" rummaging through garbage bins in London, in addition to a red deer and ("ridiculously," he admits) a migratory bird mapping treetop air currents—all in order to authentically experience those creatures' lives apart from their physical appearance, which is generally all that humans know. "We have five glorious senses," he told the Ig Nobel audience, and need to "escape the tyranny" of the visual. "Drop onto all fours," he recommended. "Sniff the ground. Lick a leaf."

AWESOME NUMBERS IN THE NEWS (1) Charles Diggs, facing child pornography charges, was found with supposedly a record haul for New Jersey—325,000 child-porn images and files at his Roselle home in October.

(2) The Justice Department revealed in an October court filing that former National

by Chuck Shepherd

Security Agency contractor Harold Martin III, 51, had stolen at least 500 million pages of "sensitive government files," bit by bit over two decades. (Bonus questions: How does no one notice, for years, and anyway, how many total pages of "sensitive government files" are there?)

LEADING ECONOMIC INDICATORS In October (as in supposedly every previous October since the 13th century), some British official arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice in London and paid rent to the queen for use of two properties—for the sum of "a knife, an axe, six oversized horseshoes and 61 nails," according to reporting by Atlas Obscura.

"No one knows exactly where these two pieces of land are," the website reported, but one is in Shropshire County, and the other near the Royal Courts.

IT DIDN’T MATTER - WHATEVER I DID.

Glory Denied NOVEMBER 10-13, 2016 Pensacola Opera Center

GREAT ART! New York City sculptor Bryan Zanisnik, operating on a grant from an emerging-artist program of Socrates Sculpture Park in the Astoria neighborhood in Queens, recently created a 10-piece "garden" of concrete Christopher Walken heads to honor the actor, who grew up in Astoria. Said Zanisnik, "Perhaps the project suggests that Walken's DNA was imbued into the soil of Astoria, and now Walken mushrooms are growing everywhere."

PERSPECTIVE A recent Better Business Bureau study in Canada found that, contrary to popular belief, it is the "millennial" generation and those aged 25 to 55, rather than seniors, who are more likely now to fall victim to scammers, fueled by users' lax skepticism about new technology. If accurate, the study would account for how a Virginia Tech student in September fell for a telephone call from "the IRS" threatening her over "back taxes." She complied with instructions from the "agent" to send $1,762 in four iTunes gift cards.

RECURRING THEMES Most old-time liquor restrictions have fallen in America, but Utah continues to hold out. The new Eccles Theater in downtown Salt Lake City, opened in October, has an elegant lobby with several floors of balconies overlooking it, but its liquor license was delayed briefly when it was realized that visitors on the upper floors could peer down at the lobby and witness beer and wine actually being poured from beer and wine bottles—a violation of state law, which allows serving only in ordinary glassware. (At lobby level, there was a "Zion Curtain" to shield drink preparation, but the theater realized it would also need a "Zion Ceiling.") {in}
