by Rick Outzen

MORE THAN WORKERS On July 7, St. Joseph School in Greenville, Miss. was destroyed by fire. The 62-year-old, red brick high school played a key role in my life. My father was in the first class, graduating in the top five of his class—that only had five students. I graduated 25 years later, finishing at the top of a class of 48 students, many of which were second generation Italian- and LebaneseAmericans. That school was embedded in my soul. I often dreamt about walking its halls. Its demise prompted me to think about the nature of education and how far off base our expectations concerning it have become. St. Joe produced men and women who knew their Roman Catholic faith and how to be solid members of society. Most classmates immediately went to work upon graduation or joined the military. Some went to the nearby community college, Mississippi Delta Junior College. A few of us enrolled in universities. But more importantly St. Joe taught us how to reason and think. We studied Shakespeare and read the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemmingway, John Steinbeck and William Faulkner. We debated points and had to defend our positions. We didn’t measure our success or that of teachers by some standardized test. Instead tests were used to give useful feedback

about where we were in the subject and to diagnose how to improve our progress. No one’s pay was tied to those tests. Our teachers didn’t see their job as creating an educated workforce, as Gov. Rick Scott and his contemporaries like to describe our children today. The faculty at St. Joseph aspired to educate its charges to be good men and women. Reading, writing, math and science were all part of the process as were humanities, arts and physical education. They wanted to help their students reach their maximum potential. The concept of “educated work force” would have seemed to be socialism or even communism in the 1970s, but here we are over three decade later with our most conservative politicians setting workforce development as the primary purpose of public schools. The students and teachers of the old St. Joe wouldn’t have fit in the new educational model that has been established in Florida and other states. We would have been labeled failures and, worse, unemployable. What St. Joe did produce was doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, successful business owners, teachers and one newspaper publisher. What are schools producing today? Thinking human being or test-taking robots. I fear the latter is true. {in} rick@inweekly.net

UNFORGOTTEN

Melissa Eck / Right: Eck shown age-progessed to 31 years/ photos courtesy of NCMEC.org

Victims of Unsolved Crimes Priority for Cold Case Unit By Stephanie Sharp

Melissa Eck disappeared from Patricia Drive in Pensacola over 20 years ago. The girl, age 15, was last seen in 1992 by her boyfriend Brian Kittle, also 15, after the couple got into an argument. Kittle claimed that he left her alone on the street after their argument. Eck supposedly headed to a friend’s house, but never made it. She hasn’t been seen since that night; Kittle remains a person of interest in the unsolved case.

from the blog

“Maybe we need to bring them here and call them ‘Team Escambia.’” —Dale

That may sound like an episode of the popular CBS crime show “Cold Case,” but Melissa Eck is just one of many cases that crowd the bookshelves in the office of Investigator Bobby Guy, the one-man unit responsible for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office’s cold cases. The reality of his job is not nearly as simple as the TV show might suggest—these difficult cases aren’t ever solved in one hour. “If you solve one of these cases, you’re not talking about doing it in a month or two,” said Guy. “It’s months and months before you can make any type of arrest, if you can make an arrest.” The term “cold case” is misleading. No set parameter marks when a case has gone “cold.” The transfer of responsibility is what lands a case in Guy’s office. Only a promotion, retirement or transfer can remove a case from the hands of its original investigator. “Most of us in investigation keep all of our cases as long as we’re here,” said Guy. “I think it’s a pride thing—you don’t necessarily want someone else to be working on your case.” The level of the involvement of investigators with their cases is often misunderstood by those outside of law enforcement. The pride and attachment that comes along with a difficult investigation is not something easily passed on to the Cold Case unit. Even Guy feels a strong sense of duty when it comes to “his cases” that he continues to work along with the cold case work. Guy’s personal cases occupy a separate shelf and he is determined to see his cases through before they, too, occupy one of the thick, white cold case binders.

“Big difference between sandlot ball and major leagues.”—Romi

According to Guy, current investigators would have been handled Eck’s case very differently. The teen’s disappearance was originally treated as a missing persons case and not transferred to the Homicide Division until after statements from Kittle and witnesses led investigators to believe that “something just wasn’t right” about the whole situation. By immediately treating the case as a homicide, vital clues to Eck’s case could have been provided—such as processing the crime scene and forensic evidence. Investigators have searched nearby woods and followed up on a tip that Eck could be buried in nearby Pfeiffer cemetery, but to no avail.

NEW TECHNOLOGY TURNS COLD TO HOT

With cases from as far back as 1970 to as recent as 2009, new information can present itself in any numbers of ways. The evolution of investigative procedure and forensic technology throughout the years has made a difference in Cold Case investigations. What was once an insurmountable obstacle can become valuable evidence with the help of modern methods. As witnesses and persons of interests are re-interviewed, they can remember previously forgotten details or the passage of time can make it less frightening to provide testimonies to the authorities. “Sometimes you’ll have people who are sick or on their deathbeds, and they want to get it off their chest. A lot of cases are solved that way,” said Guy.

“I have zero sympathy for arsonists, especially one who tried to burn down a school.”—Jason

“Pensacola did good with this one, let’s all enjoy it!”—Bill

The Cold Case unit can also get new information on an old case through previously collected evidence. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is routinely brought in to consult on cold case evidence in the hopes of utilizing new forensic techniques to find out more about a case through its physical evidence. “It seems like they have some new technology every day,” he said. Even with improvements in investigation techniques, Guy noted that the investigative process is slowed considerably by lack of manpower and funds and the unit’s success struggles because of this. The unit still tracks down every new tip or lead received and reworks every unsolved case to the best of its ability, but the resources are just not there for every case to get individual attention all the time. The older cases are even more difficult to move forward without new information.

arrests related to their loved one’s case. Melissa Eck’s disappearance may be a “cold case” but it is still open, still active. It sits in Investigator Guy’s bookshelf along with numerous other people whose deaths or disappearances have still not been solved, the guilty parties having yet to answer for their crimes. Work done by the cold case unit isn’t as glamorous as TV writers make it seem in crime shows, but these murders and disappearances don’t need any Hollywood embellishment to be mysteries worth long hours of investigation. The rows of wide, white spines with their red-lettered labels are a tangible representation of the grim reality of unsolved crime in Escambia County. {in}

OTHER COLD CASES

MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE

Luckily, the Sheriff’s office is not alone in its advocacy for the victims of unsolved crimes. Visibility of cold cases is a key to their resolution. By reaching out to the public and cooperating with third party advocacy groups, it is easier to reach potential informants on these crimes. Many national organizations exist for the purpose of finding missing children, like Eck, or for other types of victims. Although she would have been 35 this year, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sent out a press release alerting the media to the anniversary of Eck’s disappearance. This organization uses federal resources to partner with law enforcement in the resolution of crimes involving children. Out of the 187,800 cases that the NCMEC has assisted with, 175,200 resulted in the recovery of a missing child. Crimestoppers is another important partner in the work of cold cases. By offering witnesses a risk-free way to anonymously give law enforcement new information, there is a greater chance that someone might come forward. Every tip that the ECSO receives regarding a cold case is completely followed up, no matter what that tip might be. Through this organization, private citizens can offer a reward for information leading to July 12, 2012

TYLER JEFFERSON, 18

Unsolved Homicide Case open since: 11/12/09 Active Duty U.S. Navy Sailor Tyler Jefferson was found shot multiple times in front of 501 N. 49th Street. Investigators believe she had been jogging. There is a reward being offered for information leading to an arrest.

TABBETHA KAY WORFORD, 19

Unsolved Disappearance Case open since: 5/5/1990 Worford was last seen at her residence in the area of West Jackson Street and North Fairfield Drive. Her 15-month-old child was abandoned on the front porch of a residence that same night. Statements from Tabbetha’s family led law enforcement to believe that she was a Victim of Violence.

buzz RUBIO’S RIGHT-WING DIMPLES Back by the science fiction section, at the end of the line, he was being referred to as “very visionary,” “very sincere” and “very smart.” At the front of the line people described him as “fantastic,” “bright” and “something to reckon with.” It was a friendly crowd. Sporting wristbands that assured their placement in line, the people gathered at Barnes & Noble in Pensacola July 3 had come to see a G.O.P. poster boy—U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio. The Florida politician swung through on his book signing tour, with speculation of his rounding out the Romney presidential ticket close on his heels. Outside the bookstore’s front entrance, the senator’s bus hummed contently. Emblazoned on the side, Rubio’s young mug—a cross between a conservative cherub and a Latino-Donny Osmond—gazed across the parking lot begging the voting public to pinch his cheeks. Admirers paused to have their picture snapped while posing next to the bus. Since embarking on his book tour—for his newly released “An American Son”—Rubio has attracted throngs of people to the signing events, which have the feel of an election-year circus. Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s camp has hinted that the Republican-wonderboy may be a contender for the VP slot—he has good dimples, real good, and maybe an

all the political news and gossip fit to print edge with Latino voters—but the senator has consistently deflected the subject. “Oh, no, no one’s ever asked me that,” Rubio laughed, when a local reporter popped the vice-presidential question Tuesday night. In a quick huddle with local media, the senator hit all the day’s high notes. He breezed over the subject of immigration (“I can’t ignore that issue, it’s all around me.”) and the economy (“It’s not growing.”) and the RESTORE Act (he supported the final version). Rubio also tossed out some post-ruling G.O.P. talking points on the recently upheld Affordable Care Act. Like most Republicans, the senator frames the health care overhaul as “a middle-class tax increase.” “I respect the court, I respect the constitution—I don’t agree with their decision, but I respect it,” Rubio said, smiling cautiously. “In my opinion, Obamacare is a bad idea.” Discussing politics and policies surrounded by children’s books seemed almost obscene. Besides, that wasn’t what the people lined up with wristbands wanted. They came for the dimples. Many of the people in line held multiple copies of “An American Son” for the senator to sign. The extras, no doubt, would be given out as Christmas presents, or maybe sold on eBay in a few years if Rubio ascends the political ladder. Clamoring in a cluster a little ways back in the line, a group of women began singing

patriotic songs. They collectively gushed and blushed—like preteens dreaming of a boy band—while explaining that Rubio was the next big thing. One of the singing women was thrust forward. “This is a lady that escaped from Cuba, she has a story to tell.” Alina Franco Atwell smiled and recounted how she arrived in the U.S. in January of 1971. Her father had spent 12 years in a Cuban prison and other relatives had been sent to labor camps. Her family was fleeing Fidel Castro’s island. The woman didn’t flinch when asked to square her personal experience with Rubio’s stance on immigration policy. She is not an immigrant, she explained, but rather a political refugee that became an American citizen. “You earned it,” one of the other women told her. “You did it the right way,” another said. Rubio—the son of Cuban immigrants— used a similar line of reasoning until the Washington Post pointed out that his parents had arrived in the U.S. more than two years before Castro overtook the island. The senator’s stance on illegal immigration is softer-edged than the majority in his party, but he also supports notions such as Arizona’s controversial SB 1070. His consistent comment on the matter has boiled down to “it’s complicated.”

“I like his stance on protecting the young children because they’re here through no fault of their own,” Atwell said. But the Cuban woman prefers not to get bogged down with the senator’s immigration views. It is, as the senator has said, a complicated issue and, besides, her friends were already neck-deep into their Fourth of July celebrations. “I’m not only drawn to him because of the Cuban-connection, but for what he stands for,” she said. “I think people have to understand that things that are going on in this country are un-American.” Farther back in the line, Lou Leitenburger waited with wristband number 00133 for his turn to meet the senator. It wouldn’t be the first time—Rubio won him over during a brief encounter a couple of years ago. “Well, I met him at the airport,” Leitenburger said. “He was a nice man. A nice gentleman.” The elderly man felt some connection to the senator due to the young politician’s Cuban descent. Rubio’s parents hailed from the island and the man had been stationed there prior to Castro and the subsequent U.S. embargo. “I put two years down in Cuba, it’s a beautiful country,” the old man recalled. “They had rum, $2.25 a gallon—that was the best part.” {in} For more buzz items visit inweekly.net

By IN staff and readers The Rant Issue came screaming out for the first time in 2004 when the frustration of trying to drag this area into the 21st Century reached such a pitch that I could hear my brain cells exploding. The rants burst onto the pages faster than a Gatling gun, enough to fill a cover story.

July 12, 2012

As with much of what I write, people laughed, cried and got angry. A few years later we rebooted the Rant concept, but let the INweekly staff vent. The issue was a huge success and has become a staple of our editorial calendar. This year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve opened up the ranting to readers and Facebook

friends. We asked them to submit what is upsetting them. Like us, they love this community dearly, but every once in awhile they, too, must perform an emergency crisis intervention here and show some tough love. Who knows? These rants, if taken seriously, may be steps toward a full recovery and rejuvenation. -Publisher Rick Outzen 11

The Suzies Get Pressed they are blazing a new trail for all small, independently produced bands that want to see their record carried at the local record stores. The Suzies will be performing at Revolver Records on Saturday, July 14 at 3 p.m. to promote the release of their album, which will be carried at Revolver. After the midday show, The Suzies will head back to Mobile, Ala. to play a follow-up show that evening with the Underhill Family Orchestra at the Alabama Music Box. Tickets will be $5 at the door. “The show at the Alabama Music Box will also serve as a voter registration drive,” Buckley said. “A lot of young people aren’t actually registered to vote, so it will be nice to get people involved and do more than just play music.” {in}

“A lot of young people aren’t actually registered to vote, so it will be nice to get people involved and do more than just play music.” Luke Buckley

The Suzies / courtesy photo The Suzies’ self-titled debut album is many things: catchy, strangely familiar, and slightly reminiscent of the late ‘80s. The album, which is being released exclusively on vinyl, is funded solely by a Kickstarter account. It’s exciting that a newer band can even choose to release an album on vinyl, because unlike most famous acts, the band won’t be able to count on iTunes sales and

sold out shows to make up for the manufacturing cost of vinyl if the records fails to sell. In short, it’s a risk. “We believe in the medium,” frontman Luke Buckley said. “I don’t want to think that you have to release music in traditional forms, and we wanted to do something a little different. And records are just cool!” To make this happen, the band launched a Kickstarter account with a goal of $900, which was just the basic cost of the record pressing and shipping. “We ended up making $1375 in four days,” Buckley said. “We were like, shit, maybe we should have set the bar a little higher and asked for more money.” The records were pressed at a company called United Record Pressing out of Nashville, Tenn. The band was able to use

the remaining portion of the Kickstarter money to make shirts and posters, which also helped them fulfill their promised gifts in return for the donations made to them via Kickstarter. United Record Pressing has been pressing vinyl since 1949 and is actually a really accessible and reasonably priced place to get a record pressed. Their site allows you to decide the color of the vinyl, the size, the sound, the dust jackets and sleeves—pretty much every detail. You are also offered the choice of sending in your own artwork to be used in whatever way you like on the cover. Although it’s still way more pricey than uploading your music to iTunes or just recording your songs to a blank silver burned audio disc, releasing on vinyl is becoming more attainable than it’s ever been. Vinyl has been named the fastest growing music format, and although mp3s and other digital media files are still in the lead, records are pushing for a close second. In the next few years, CDs will be the new cassette, overflowing the bins WHEN: 3 p.m. Saturday, July 14 and tables at yard sales and thrift WHERE: Revolver Records, 9 E. Gregory St. stores alike. COST: Free So, although The Suzies are DETAILS: thesuzies.com taking a risk now, with the monetary value of the vinyl on the line,

Classics Within a Classic

Summer movies are always a great way to beat the summer heat. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough flicks to sustain a whole season indoors and with ticket prices increasing, the movies will likely burn a whole through your wallet rather than keep you cool. Starting July 14, Saenger Theatre will bring back the Classic Movies Series, offering the alternative to pricey blockbusters by showcasing classic movies featuring names such as: Humphrey Bogart, Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra and Audrey Hepburn. “The Saenger is known among native Pensacolians for being ‘the place’ for seeing movies back in the day,” said Kathy Summerlin, marketing director for Saenger Theatre. “It's time that several new generations are able to experience the Saenger and movies the way they were meant to be seen—on the big screen.”

The Classic Movie Series returns to bring more movie and musical lovers to Saenger during the lull in live shows. “We wanted to keep the Saenger busy throughout the summer with events,” said Summerlin. “Summer is typically a very quiet time for the Saenger because concerts are touring amphitheaters and festivals, Broadway shows are in their off season as well, and the local arts groups are re-tooling for their next season.” Not only will the movies help bring more traffic to Saenger, but they will bring more traffic to the entire downtown area. “It's an incentive to bring people downtown, have a meal at one of the great restaurants, take a stroll and see a great classic movie,” Summerlin said. The movies will also be inexpensive. Single tickets are $5, or you can purchase the discounted Movie Ten-Pack, which admits you to see all 10 movies for $40. “Our goal was to attract a very diverse audience with an affordable price,” Summerlin said. “You can't see a matinee anymore for less than $7.” The selection of the 10 movies was a careful one using focus groups and social media. “We started with a survey at the September Gallery Night where we showed ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,’” Summerlin said. “There was so much positive feedback that we made plans to move forward for the summer series. “ The classics to be shown range from the well-known such as “The Wizard of Oz” to those that maybe only classic movie buffs will recognize. “Seven of the 10 films that were selected have been selected by the National Film Registry to be preserved in the Library of Congress because they are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films,” Summerlin said. “Our goal was to present mostly classic

movie musicals, going back to a more lighthearted, slower paced time.” 7/14 On the Town The Library of Congress has been pre7/21 Maltese Falcon serving up to 25 films a year to the National 7/28 42nd Street Film Registry since 1989. Some of the films in 8/4 Showboat the Saenger Classic Movie Series have not yet 8/11 Citizen Kane been preserved by the National Film Registry. 8/18 My Fair Lady “I'm surprised that ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ 8/25 Fiddler on the Roof and ‘My Fair Lady’ weren't on the list,” Sum9/1 Music Man merlin said. “‘On the Town’ was the other 9/8 Casablanca film not on the list.” 9/15 Wizard of Oz Summerlin also discovered a fun fact while researching the films for trivia that will roll before the movies’ 7 p.m. show times. “One of the movies has a local angle,” Summerlin said. Leif Erickson, who plays the role of Pete in “Showboat,” was a resident of Pensacola in the 1980s. “He was married to Ann Diamond and they lived their later years in Pensacola where he died after a battle with cancer here in 1986,” Summerlin said. “His wife, Ann, sponsored a seat in the Saenger during the capital campaign in 2007 to raise money for the renovation. A plaque with his name is on a seat on Row E in the orchestra level. Cool stuff!” And even though the summer is when popcorn selling blockbusters take precedence over Oscar nominated films, it doesn’t mean you can’t take in a little culture and expand your film horizons with classic films that lack the computer graphics and color of today. “In the United States, movies are part of our common cultural inheritance,” said Tom Roush, film commissioner of the Pensacola area. “Classic movies have had at least WHEN: Starts 7 p.m. Saturday, July 14 as great an impact on our culture WHERE: 118 S. Palafox as classic novels. In fact, being ‘well COST: $5 or $40 for a ten ticket package seen’ is as important as being ‘well DETAILS: pensacolasaenger.com or 595-3880 read’ in my view.

news of the weird SEEING ISN’T BELIEVING Japanese Scientists, Overperforming: (1) Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Information Science and Technology have developed goggles that can enlarge the image of a bite of food so that the eater might fool himself into thinking he has consumed more than he has (and thus, that his hunger might dissipate sooner). The software is so sophisticated, they said, that the food carrier (a fork, or the eater’s hand) is not transformed and appears at normal size. In basic tests, according to a June Agence France-Presse report, a 50 percent increase in imagined cookie size reduced actual consumption by 9 percent. (2) Prolific inventor Nobuhiro Takahashi announced in May that he had created a silicone-and-foam “buttocks robot” that can clench, twitch or protrude when probed (primarily for training proctology students to deal with patient anxiety).

IRONIES Car Karma: Jerry Patterson suffered a road-rage pummeling on June 12 at the hands of three men who beat him into unresponsiveness on the side of Interstate 5 in Los Angeles, with the incident captured on cellphone video by a passing motorist. Six days earlier, Patterson had himself been arrested for allegedly administering his own road-rage beatdown of another motorist, who suffered two black eyes. • Generally, airbags save lives, but apparently not Ronald Smith’s. According to a coroner’s inquest in Darlington, England, in May, Smith’s airbag deployed, but in the process was cut open on jagged glass, which forced a rush of the bag’s gas and talcum powder (used as a lubricant by many manufacturers) into his lungs. Smith soon afterward developed fatal bronchial pneumonia from inhaling the substances.

WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN (1) After Nechemya Weberman, prominent in the Brooklyn, N.Y., ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, was accused of 88 counts of sexual misconduct against underage girls and others, the district attorney arrested four men and charged them with using extortion and bribery ($500,000 worth) to silence one accuser and her boyfriend. The Hasidic community is deeply split on whether “outsiders” (like district attorneys, for example) should judge its members. (2) British officials perhaps have the opposite problem, having been recently accused of failing to prosecute alleged pedophiles in a Greater Manchester Asian gang—for fear of offending Asians. Police told the Daily Telegraph that as many as 50 girls had been recruited for sex by the gangs, but one victim’s advocate said police were “petrified” at being called racist and thus “reverted to ... political correctness.” UPDATE When last we left America’s most prolific litigant, Jonathan Lee Riches (in October 2010), he was serving 10 years in prison for stealing credit card numbers after achieving Guinness Book notoriety for having filed at least 3,800 fanciful lawsuits, mostly involving public figures. He was released on April 30, and apparently rehabilitation is out of the question. Within days, he had sued the Kardashian women for a variety of imagined ills including their forcing Riches to steal clothing for them from Saks Fifth Avenue and Target. Kim Kardashian was also sued for having spilled Riches’ McFlurry drink on his head, and Khloe would have to answer for stealing Riches’ Whopper sandwich and ramming Riches’ Aston Martin car with her Volvo. Other post-release litigation initiated by Riches implicated Kanye West, Bruce Jenner, Charlie Sheen and an al-Qaeda training camp in West Virginia. RECURRING THEMES Once again, there has emerged an alleged child-pornography trader who does not fit the profile. Wealthy Dallas socialite Erika Perdue, 41, was arrested in June, and in a search of her “mansion,” police found hundreds of images and videos, including some depicting what authorities consider the worst kind of child porn. WFAA-TV reported that Perdue confessed to having traded child porn online since 1999. READERS’ CHOICE When Cats Fly: In June, Dutch artist Bart Jansen showed off his latest creation, which was quickly an Internet sensation: He had his pet cat Orville (who had recently been run over by a car) stuffed with arms spread like an airplane (a “helicopter,” Jansen said) and mounted a radio on the carcass so that he could control its flight. Jansen showed off Orville at the Kunstrai art festival in Amsterdam in June. {in} From Universal Press Syndicate Chuck Shepherd’s News Of The Weird © 2012 Chuck Shepherd

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS In May, two members of the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee requested the total number of U.S. citizens who have been legally spied upon (by phone calls, e-mail, etc.) since 2008 by the National Security Agency, but the NSA’s inspector general said he was prohibited from answering. To go back through agency records, he said, would violate the privacy rights of those spied-upon U.S. citizens, which the agency cannot do without judicial warrant. • Well-Put: Pushing for an Oklahoma state senate bill authorizing the open carrying of guns (which eventually passed), Sen. Ralph Shortey explained in a March committee hearing that it was an incident from his past that convinced him of the need to carry a gun openly. “I was in oil and gas. I was out on a lease at one time, and I got attacked by a turkey. Wait until you get attacked by a turkey. You will know the fear that a turkey can invoke in a person. And so I beat it with a club. That was all I could do. And (then) I started carrying a gun in my truck after that without a license because I didn’t want to get attacked by a mountain lion.”

Good Eats:

There are so many wonderful restaurants in Pensacola. For casual dining with great ambiance and good service, I love Jaco’s. For meetings and just a casual evening with friends or peers, I enjoy sampling great wine and interesting cheeses at the Wine Bar on Palafox. If I really want to get my feel of wonderful food, great company, exceptional ambiance and good local entertainment, I have to head to the deck at the Fish House. Their Hiromi Futomaki sushi roll makes my mouth water!

Retail Therapy:

There must be something wrong with the “woman in me” because I hate to shop! I like tractor stores, farm equipment and tack shops a whole lot more than the dress boutiques. Sorry!

Watering Holes: Wine Bar rocks!

Nightlife:

Okay, I have to say that our new Wahoo stadium is to die for and we are blessed to have committed leaders who made it happen; but, if I am going to enjoy our outdoors, there is nothing better than the Riverwalk and Adventures Unlimited in Milton, Fla.

Believe it or not, the tractor-lovin’ chickee in me loves the Pensacola Opera! It is just so big!
