MOVE FORWARD WITH Gene Valentino
ENROLL TODAY FOR SUMMER & FALL
Jeff Miller
winners JEFF MILLER The chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee took a stand against the long waiting lists at VA medical facilities and investigated allegations that those lists did not include all the veterans requiring care. Rep. Miller did not grandstand. Instead he reached out to the Democratic committee members and pressured the VA to come forward with the facts. LUMON MAY When fellow Escambia
losers GENE VALENTINO As chairman of the
Escambia County Commission, he led last summer’s effort to take over the Escambia County Jail, publicly attacking Sheriff David Morgan and his leadership team. Morgan had requested $6.3 million to hire 83 detention deputies and 12 detention assistants. Last month, Escambia County issued emergency purchases orders totaling $13.3 million as the result of the late April flooding in the corrections complex and the explosion at the county jail. The sheriff’s request does not look that out of line anymore.
County commissioners voted last year to take over the Escambia County Jail, May was the lone vote against it because he believed the facility should remain under Sheriff David Morgan and the county should give him the funds needed to meet the Department of Justice’s findings. For the past month, he has struggled to help the guards, prisoners and their families deal with an explosion at the Central Booking and Detention Center. The other commissioners have quietly stepped out of the limelight.
Veterans Affairs resigned on May 30 over scandals inside his departments. The retired Army general served as secretary of the Army under President George W. Bush. He is a wounded Vietnam veteran and had his foot amputated after being injured by a landmine. A true leader, Shinseki is taking the “hit” for the bureaucrats who have mistreated veterans for years.

Bush has been a visible advocate for the standards, and his Foundation for Excellence in Education has collected millions of dollars from those supporting Common Core. Conservatives have criticized the standards as a federal intrusion into school operations that should be handled locally.

by Rick Outzen
RACE TO THE BOTTOM In 2010, the U.S. Department of Education issued a Race To The Top grant of $8,373,647 to the Escambia County School District. The funds were to be disbursed over four years to help improve our schools. In the application, the district listed Superintendent Malcolm Thomas as “one of ECSD’s major strengths.” Because of the superintendent’s high expectations, change and reform began at the top and cascaded throughout the organization, according to the application approved by the school board. “In the past two years, the ECSD has taken bold steps to improve the schools,” according to the application. “For example, a low performing middle school was closed and reopened under new leaders and a new teaching staff with successful negotiations with the union occurring to provide extra compensation to teachers taking on this challenge.” That middle school was Warrington Middle School, which earned a “C” in 2009 before Thomas reassigned the principal and fired most of the staff. Last year, Warrington Middle sank to an “F” after earning a “D” grade the prior year. The notion of excellence cascading down to the students simply because of the superintendent’s high expectations turned out to be poppycock. The 2010 Race To The Top grant was to set up two schools as the models to create a
framework for an instructional improvement system for the entire district. The model schools failed to improve Montclair Elementary was one of the model schools. It dropped from an “A” in 2010 to a “C” last year. For the 2013-14 school year, 51 percent of Montclair’s third graders had the lowest score possible, one on a five-point scale, on the FCAT reading test, and 59 percent had the lowest score in math. Warrington Middle was the other model school. There is no way to candy-coat this. Superintendent Thomas’s plan failed and millions of tax dollars were wasted. The public schools in Escambia County will not improve simply by fiat from a benevolent dictator. The federal and state governments and local taxpayers have invested millions and millions into improving Escambia County public schools. We have built new schools, increased school hours, closed schools in the inner-city, recruited tutors and mentors, and put more and more pressure on the teachers. Still the grades are falling. A more collaborative, open approach is needed that involves all segments of our community and elicits help from those school districts that had success under similar conditions. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just find ones that fit our car. {in}rick@inweekly.net

DEADBEAT CUBA The Independent
News shared a cup of coffee with Cuban human rights activist Rene Gomez Manzano and several of his fellow dissidents. Manzano, who is also an attorney, was in Pensacola to speak before the local Inns of Court, which is comprised of area judges and attorneys. He shared that his message for the lawyers was that anyone would be mad to invest in Cuba as long as the communist government is in power. “The only reason Cuba wants the United States to lift its embargo is so that it can get credit from the United States," Manzano said. “Cuba is trading with American companies now, but it has to pay cash. They are shady characters.” He and his friends explained that the
all the political news and gossip fit to print
Cuban government never fully repays its loans. In December 2013, Russia and Cuba announced an agreement to write off 90 percent of Cuba’s $32 billion debt, which dated back over 50 years to the Soviet era. A month earlier, Cuba reached an agreement with Mexico to eliminate of 70 percent of its debt. In 2012, the communist country negotiated an 80 percent reduction of its debt with Japan. When asked if he considered the Cuban government deadbeats, Manzano laughed, “Yes, the United States will never see any of its loans to Cuba repaid.”
EMAIL MYSTERY UNCOVERED The News Service of Florida reported that just before a judge cleared the courtroom so a GOP operative could testify in secret, lawyers for groups challenging the Legislature’s 2012 congressional map revealed that a man associated with the plan denied he had anything to do with it. Alex Posada said under oath in a deposition that he did not draw the congressional map, did not submit it to the Legislature and did not authorize anyone else to do so on his behalf, a lawyer for a coalition of voting rights groups told The News Service of Florida.
Posada, a former Florida State University student who appeared at one of the Legislature’s public hearings on redistricting in 2012, also swore that he had no knowledge of the alexposada22@gmail. com email account used to deliver the map to the Legislature’s public portal, according to lawyer Vince Falcone, who took Posada’s deposition over the telephone. Lawmakers including Senate President Don Gaetz, who in 2012 was in charge of the committee handling the redistricting process, publicly praised the “Posada” map as the footprint for their congressional plan.
Buchanan wrote the Independent News that the “Guest Instagrammer” series on the City’s official social media platforms was his idea, which he presented to the mayor’s office. Prior to our Buzz article, the IN did make a public record request for any emails regarding Buchanan taking over the city site. There were none. “This was a concept born out of casual discussion to help tell Pensacola’s story that the City quickly adopted—nothing more,” Buchanan said. Buchanan said that anyone could apply to be a “Guest Instagrammer” for the city of Pensacola via its official Facebook page, facebook.com/cityofpensacola. “I can assure you, praise for any elected official is not a prerequisite,” he added. As of publication deadline, no one else had been named a “Guest Instagrammer,” since late April. According to Buchanan, the city suspended the program because of the flooding but he had been told it would start up again in June. {in}

our May 1 issue, we mentioned in “The Buzz” that Pensacola newcomer Drew Buchanan had been given control of the city of Pensacola’s Instagram account for a weekend. Buchanan contacted that the newspaper and said the honor of guest moderator was not linked to his praise of Mayor Ashton Hayward or his interest in the mayor’s digital town hall meeting.

next best thing.
In the Light of What We Know by Zia Haider Rahman
o it must be good, right? Sadly, that's not always the case—especially when it comes to crime thrillers and dystopian YA fiction. But here are some current and recent books we think actually live up to the best-seller hype.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
Screw best-seller lists, this book won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Just in case you haven't heard anything about it yet, here's an overview of the plot: An orphan named Theodore Decker winds up in possession of a very important painting named "The Goldfinch." What follows is a coming of age story full of art and love.
The Vacationers by Emma Straub
If you can't escape to a remote tropical island this summer, reading this book is the
Who better to tell the tale of the finical crisis that defined the 2000s than a former Wall Street investment banker? In his debut novel, Rahman draws from his actual life experiences to give this story just enough realness and edge. It's only been out since April and has already been called "the novel of the century" by some.
This book’s subtitle sums it up perfectly: "The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain." Even if you aren't familiar with their earlier stuff, this book from Levitt and Dubner stands alone. The goal is to teach you to think like a freak— i.e. more productively, more creatively, more rationally. It's also witty and fun to read—which you might not expect if you never read "Freakonomics."
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper Coming to film Sept. 12 Siblings reunite at their childhood home for a week of sitting Shiva after their father dies. We know the plot doesn't 010 1
Want to know how Amoruso went from dumpster diver to eBay seller to founder, CEO and creative director of a $100 million plus online fashion empire? Yeah, we do too. In #GIRLBOSS, Amoruso gives up all her Nasty Gal secrets to success, plus tons of takeaway one-liners like "You are not a special snowflake."
Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
sound like a comedy, but trust us, it is. Jason Bateman, Tina Fey and Adam Driver play the Foxman siblings in the film, directed by Shawn Levy.
othing is better than being able to say, "I liked the book better" when your friends are talking about movies. So if you're looking to do some reading this summer that will pay off later, here are a few novels that will be making their way to the big screen this year.
#GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso
Coming to film Sept. 19 If you're into YA fiction, then you'll probably like this book, its two sequels ("The Scorch Trials" and "The Death Cure") and the upcoming movie. Dylan O'Brien, of MTV "Teen Wolf" fame, has signed on to play the lead role.
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Coming to film Oct. 3 At least one person has probably offered to loan you their copy of "Gone Girl" in the last year. If not, that's probably just because you were the one offering up your
Just incase your summer reading list isn't long enough already, here are a few notable titles coming soon to a bookstore (or Amazon shopping cart) near you.
The Closer by Mariano Rivera with Wayne Coffey
Nothing says summer like baseball and nothing says baseball like Mariano Rivera. Even Red Sox fans agree Rivera is the greatest relief pitcher of all time, and in this memoir he tells how he got there and what it's really like to wear the Yankee pinstripes with pride.
•Hard Choices by Hillary Rodham Clinton (June 10) •I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You by Courtney Maum (June 10) •Perfectly Miserable: Guilt, God and Real Estate in a Small Town by Sarah Payne Stuart (June 12) •Rogues—A collection of new short stories featuring Gillian Flynn, Neil Gaiman and Mr. Game of Thrones himself, George R.R.

And the Prophets, Do They Live Forever? by
copy. It's been almost impossible to avoid this best-selling suspense novel and it's only going to become more of a phenomenon this fall when the David Fincher directed movie comes out.
The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks
Coming to film Oct. 17 If sappy love stories are you thing, then Sparks is probably your favorite author. He doesn't stray far from his usual fare in this novel, which is about high school sweethearts who reunite in their small hometown after many years away. James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan will star in the film.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Part 1 is coming to film Nov. 21; Part 2 Nov. 20, 2015
Dave Eggers (June 17) •The Arsonist by Sue Miller (June 24) •Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng (June 26) •Friendship by Emily Gould (July 1) •One Plus One by Jojo Moyes (July 1) •Liberty's Torch: The Great Adventure to Build the Statue of Liberty by Elizabeth Mitchell (July 2) •Four: A Divergent Collection by Veronica Roth (July 8) •Glow by Rick James with David Ritz (July 8) •Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty (July 29) •Lucky Us by Amy Bloom (July 29) •The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan by Rick Perlstein (Aug. 5)
If you're into "The Hunger Games," you've probably already read the entire trilogy—twice. But just in case there are any late-bloomers out there, here's a reminder that the first movie about the last book is coming out this November. So you've got plenty of time to finally get on board and root for Katniss.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
Coming to film Dec. 5 In the summer of 1995, a novice 26-year-old hiker (Strayed) set out to hike the Pacific Coast Trail in an attempt to get her life back on track. This winter, we'll get to see Reese Witherspoon reenact that 1,100-mile solo hike.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
Coming to film Dec. 25 "Unbroken" is a war drama based on the life of Olympic athlete Louis Zamperini. The film is produced and directed by Angelina Jolie and scripted by Joel and Ethan Coen. You're probably familiar with Hillenbrand's first book (or at least its movie) "Seabiscuit." inweekly.net
2012 breakout comedy, inspired by Steve Harvey's best-selling book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man."
They Came Together A campy romantic comedy staring Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler, from the creators of "Wet Hot American Summer." Transformers: Age of Extinction
Because it's just not summer with an overthe-top Michael Bay popcorn flick.
Begin Again Keira Knightley stars as a
singer-songwriter looking for her big break.
here's no better place to escape summer and its unbearable heat waves than a dark, overly air conditioned movie theater. In fact, we believe this is where the entire notion of "summer blockbusters" came from. Even though two of the biggest films of the season are already out ("X-Men: Days of Future Past" and "Maleficent"), there are still plenty of buzz-worthy flicks on the summer movie horizon. And even if big-budget blockbusters aren't your cup of tea, there are more than enough comedy sequels, dramas and indie features to go around too. Our personal must-sees this season include a '30s-style dramedy about a psychic, a French tale about flowers growing in unlikely places and Garden State II (we know that's not the real name, but it should be). We'll probably end up seeing 22 Jump Street too—how do you say "no" to Jonah Hill?
Edge of Tomorrow An action flick staring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt that’s based on a Japanese novel. The Fault In Our Stars A drama about two
teens who meet and fall in love during a cancer support group. Don't forget your Kleenex.
22 JumpStreet A buddy cop comedy sequel starring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 An animated action adventure sequel featuring the voices of Jay Baruchel and Kristen Wiig. The Rover Rob Pattinson in a movie where he's not a vampire—what else do you need to know? Jersey Boys A musical biography of the Four Seasons, based on the hit Broadway play. Think Like a Man Too A sequel to the June 5, 2014
Life Itself A documentary and cinematic farewell to Roger Ebert.
And So It Goes A romantic comedy staring Michael Douglas and Diane Keaton.
Boyhood A Richard Linklater movie filmed over 12 years with the same cast that tells the story of growing up through the eyes of a boy named Mason. Ethan Hawke (it is a Linklater film after all) and Patricia Arquette star as Mason's parents.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Andy Serkis
is back to entertain and freak you out as a genetically evolved ape.
Jupiter Ascending Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum—two names not commonly associated with "action" movies. But this might change that.
A Most Wanted Man A modern spy
thriller featuring Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe and one of Philip Seymour Hoffman's last performances.
Sex Tape Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz play a married couple whose sex tape goes missing. Happy Christmas
Anna Kendrick stars as an out of work actress who moves in with her brother and his family and pretty much ruins everything they have going on.
Get On Up A biopic about the legendary James Brown. Guardians of the Galaxy Chris Pratt as
a pilot/astronaut? Not sure we're buying that, but the trailer is actually pretty entertaining. What If Harry Potter + Adam from Girls = a movie we're destined to love, no matter what it's about. But this one

The Expendables 3 Here's hoping the
for his lover after she's diagnosed with an unusual illness caused by a flower growing in her lungs. Sounds like a perfect plot for French filmmaker Michel Gondry to us. Bonus: it stars Amélie herself, Audrey Tautou.
Wish I Was Here Zach Braff took to Kickstarter to make this film a reality, so it better be good. Or we're going to demand a refund on our donation. Hercules Dwayne Johnson
(who we still call "The Rock" if we're being honest) stars as the Greek demigod in this Brett Ratner directed adventure flick.
Magic in the Moonlight A '30s-style
dramedy from Woody Allen where Emma Stone is a psychic and Colin Firth is the man set out to prove her a fraud.
third time is the charm for Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and his team of sidekicks.
The Giver A sci-fi thriller staring Alexander Skarsgård and Meryl Streep. actually sounds like a modern day "When Harry Met Sally" so it should be good on all accounts.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The
heroes in a half shell are back.
Let's Be Cops Jake Johnson (aka Nick from "The New Girl") stars in this cop comedy about two friends who aren't really cops.
If I Stay Chloë Grace Moretz stars in this sure-to-be-tear jerker where she's caught between life and death for one day. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For A sequel
to the 2005 film, featuring returning cast members Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Powers Boothe, Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis.

to "Roar"—ing pop spectacles to reunited rock groups, here are some summer tours we think are road trip worthy.
Summer Fest
June 25-29; July 1-6 Milwaukee The self-proclaimed “World’s Largest Music Festival” features an eclectic lineup spanning almost two full weeks including OutKast, Lady Gaga, Trombone Shorty, Arctic Monkeys and Neon Trees. Details: summerfest.com
Essence Festival
July 3-6, New Orleans Essence Fest is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and they're doing up it big—as in Prince big. In addition to Prince, the lineup also features Janelle Monáe, Mary J. Blige and The Roots, plus a slew of guest speakers. Details: essencefestival.com
Forecastle Fest
angout Fest is over, but that doesn't mean there's not more music in bulk to be found this summer. If you're looking to plan your vacation around a music festival, here are a few suggestions. Granted, none of these festivals offer any of the Hangout perks we've come to know and love (close to home, beachfront stages…). But they still have some pretty solid lineups and are happening in cool cities.
Bonnaroo
June 12-15, Manchester, Tenn. Kanye West, Jack White, Vampire Weekend and Sir Elton John. If that's not enough to make you sign-up for a weekend of muddy camping in Tennessee, we don't know what is. Details: bonnaroo.com 212 1
July 18-20, Louisville Did you know that 95 percent of the world's bourbon is produced in Kentucky? Well, you will if you attend Forecastle and hangout in the "Bourbon Lodge" very long.

Pitchfork Music Festival

Satchmo Summer Fest
July 31- Aug. 3, New Orleans While we aren't fans of New Orleans humidity in August, we are fans of this festival, which celebrates Louis Armstrong’s birthday. Also, it's always free and that's always a good thing. Details: fqfi.org/satchmo
Lollapalooza
Aug. 1-3, Chicago Lollapalooza is pretty much the most iconic summer music fest around and this year’s lineup proves why. Eminem, OutKast, Kings of Leon and Lorde are just a few who are set to take over Grant Park this August. Details: lollapalooza.com
Outside Lands
Aug. 8-10, San Francisco Sure, Kanye West and Tom Petty are the actual headliners of this fest. But we're most excited about seeing Death Cab for Cutie back on the road and in the studio. Seriously, "LP 8" (as Ben Gibbard and company are currently calling their future record) can't get here fast enough for us. Details: sfoutsidelands.com
Omaha, Nebraska might be best known for Bright Eyes, Saddle Creek and late ‘90s emo, but Maha Music Festival should be added to that list soon (if it isn't already). Death Cab, The Head and the Heart and Local Natives are set to headline this single day fest. Details: mahamusicfestival.com
Made in America
Aug. 30-31, Philadelphia and Los Angles This year, Jay Z and Budweiser are going bi-coastal with two installations of Made in America. Kanye West and Kings of Leon will star at the Philly event, while John Mayer and Imagine Dragons share top billing in LA. Details: madeinamericafest.com

*Note: Some of these festivals are technically
sold out through official ticketing outlets. But we still included them because we know that isn't going to stop some of you. That’s what Craiglist is for after all, isn't it?

here's so much in the air during the summer—humidity, mosquitoes, fireworks, and, of course, plenty of must-hear new music. Jack White is an early front-runner in our "song of the summer" debate with 'Just One Drink.' But there's still plenty of time for someone to beat him (and they probably will). Here are some contenders, plus their release dates and new album titles.
Jack White "Lazaretto" First Aid Kit "Stay Gold" Andrew Bird "Things are Really Great Here, Sort Of…"
Strand of Oaks "HEAL" Mastodon "Once More 'Round The Sun" Robin Thicke (title TBA) Sia “1000 Forms Of Fear” Jason Mraz "Yes!" Jenny Lewis "The Voyager" Shabazz Palaces "Lese Majesty" Steve Aoki "Neon Future"
Lana Del Rey "Utltraviolene" Bishop Allen "Lights Out" Ed Sheeran "x"
Did you know that locally we're lucky enough to have not one, but two weekly concert series that run throughout the summer? And both are free to attend? Yup, it's true.

Sure, you don't watch it. You actually can't stand the show or the Kardashian/Jenners. Good for you. Some of us, however, think the Kimye wedding and accompanying circus is going to make for really good bad TV.
Rising Star
ummer isn't the greatest season for TV (that’s fall's thing) but most networks do save at least a few gems for the sweltering season. Some have already started—like "Game of Thrones"—but they aren't going to last all summer, so you're going to need a few more shows to kill time with.
Series premiere June 22 on ABC Just what the world needs—another singing competition show. This one will feature Josh Groban, Brad Paisley, Kesha and Ludacris as the "experts" but the audience picks the winners and losers.
Tyrant
Season 2 premiere June 6 on Netflix We can't think of a better way to kick off a lazy summer of TV watching than binge watching all 13 episodes, can you?
Series premiere June 24 on FX An unassuming American family are drawn into the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation in this drama, from the producers of "Homeland," "24," "6 Feet Under" and "Lost."
Keeping Up with The Kardashians

Bob's Burgers
Season 5 premiere June 29 on Fox There's a lot to like about "Bob's Burgers"—like the quirky animation and awesome voice work by Kristen Schaal. If you aren't already watching it, you should be.
Unforgettable
Season 3 premieres June 29 on CBS Poppy Montgomery is back as Carrie Wells, an NYPD detective with a flawless memory.
Under the Dome
Season 2 premieres June 30 on CBS Apparently one season of being sealed off from the world in a massive transparent dome wasn't enough.
Extant
Series premiere July 9 on CBS
A sci-fi mystery thriller starring Halle Berry and produced by Steven Spielberg. Not sure why either of these two are doing TV, but we'll take it.
Welcome To Sweden
Series premiere July 10 on NBC A New Yorker marries a woman from Sweden and agrees to move there for a year. Cultures clash and hilarity ensues. Amy Poehler produces the show and her little brother Greg is the star and creator.
Food Fighters
Series premiere July 22 on NBC Remember Adam Richman from "Man Vs. Food?" He's got a new gig on a new network. Even though we're kind of tired of chef competition shows, we'll probably watch this one just to see if Richman tries to eat everything they make in one sitting.
The Quest
Series premiere July 31 on ABC What happens when an Executive Producer from "The Lord of the Rings" teams up the creators of "The Amazing Race?" "The Quest."

Local Artists Take Over by Jessica Forbes
As a juried show featuring the works of museum members, the PMA Members’ Exhibition has no set theme, but encourages artists to submit a range of mediums and pieces that fit within entry rules. “I've met members who regularly submit that have only been accepted once and others whose submissions are juried in nearly each time,” Leader said. “Their support for the PMA and their enthusiasm to throw their hat into the ring never wavers. It’s a testament to the spirit of our local artists.” As the PMA’s curator, Leader is responsible for selecting a juror for the show, the individual Sherrie Mitchell, "Daddy Get the Belt," Mixed media / "Edgiest" who is responsible for sewinner at Artel's "Push It to the Edge" exhibit lecting pieces and awarding prizes. “This year, I While summer is the off-season for many selected Mike Roberts.

oddball for other galleries. So we’re unique in that we want that stuff,” Robbert said with a laugh. The show is open to all mediums and has no size restrictions other than needing to fit through the front door (based on past experience, the gallery does discourage the inclusion of living organisms or food items in pieces). “We encourage artists to experiment with non-traditional media and use traditional media in non-traditional ways. Digital, video, or film is also encouraged,” Robbert explained. “[Exhibition Director] Lee [Courtney] comes up with the themes and he also asks for the board’s suggestions. He tries to come up with something that we’ve never done before—we don’t like to repeat.” Courtney also chooses the jurors for shows, looking to arts faculty and professional artists in the community, preferably those who have never juried before or who have not juried in the last five years. Joseph Smith, an artist currently living in Lillian, Alabama, will serve as the juror for “Push It to the Edge.” Smith’s works—sculptures, paintings, and drawings—have been shown in the U.S., France, Switzerland and Germany. The opening reception for “Push It to the Edge” is June 13 at 6 p.m., and is free and open to the public. {in}
“We are truly fortunate to live in a community with such an appreciation for the visual arts and talent.”
Alexis Leader PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES EVEN FURTHER
Within Pensacola’s arts community, Artel Gallery is known as a haven for experimental, non-traditional art. This summer, the gallery is challenging local artists to go even further beyond the usual in the exhibit, “Push It to the Edge,” which is open June 3 through July 11. “We strive to show contemporary, experimental works that you don’t typically see in surrounding galleries,” Suzanne Robbert, president of Artel Gallery, said. “Our motto is ‘Art with an Edge.’ In every show, we want people to push it to the edge, but I think this is a way of keeping the theme open and reminding artists to take that extra step.” Located on the first floor of the old Escambia County Courthouse, Artel’s main gallery hosts 8 to 10 themed, juried shows each year each comprising submissions exclusively from the community. Each of Artel’s shows is themed and each utilizes a different jurorcurator, assuring a different perspective on selection. Robbert stated that WHEN: Friday, June 6—Saturday, July 26 Artel typically gets between 100 and (Tuesday—Friday, 10 a.m.—5 p.m. and Satur150 submissions for each show, which day, 12—5 p.m.) a juror then pares down to between 30 WHERE: Pensacola Museum of Art, 407 S. and 45 pieces, depending on their size.

Ears & Fingers by Jason Leger
F**ked Up "GLASS BOYS"
F**ked Up are a Canadian five-piece who efficiently mold together music genres and have garnered a reputation for leaving crowds and venues understanding the reasoning behind their band name. The band seems to function at its strongest while existing within tension, and with new album “Glass Boys,” tension is at the epicenter of every element. Starting with branding the LP with a title that exudes fragility and cover art that exemplifies the Greek ideals of grace and beauty, while exploring themes of disbelief, anger and darkness with ferocity that’s un-

matched in much of the indie rock world, “Glass Boys” brings discomfort to the surface. The band seamlessly intertwines discordant indie pop-rock with a vocalist who looks and sounds like he could be fronting Biohazard, and it just works. “Glass Boys” has been gaining steam since earlier this year on the back of three strong singles, ‘Paper the House,’ ‘Led by Hand’ and most recently, ‘Sun Glass.’ When I first caught wind of the impending album, I was excited for a couple of reasons. Primarily because the band went on hiatus in 2011 to settle a lot of personal matters following their masterful album “David Comes to Life.” The news also raised a few questions for me: How does a band take two years off and expect to follow up an album as critically acclaimed as “David Comes to Life”? Would they be able to pick up with the same amount of steam they walked away with? Will they tour within a five-hour drive? These questions have yet to be answered, but as far as the follow up to “David” goes, the drama, genius and approach behind “Glass Boys” is more than enough to appease their fans and calm our fears of the band being quiet on a permanent basis any time soon. It is with a clear conscience that I can absolutely say F**ked Up are one of the most
important bands on the radar right now. From the opening beeps of ‘Echo Boomer’ to the sudden repose of the title track, “Glass Boys” is their urgent letter of apology for being gone. “Glass Boys” is out now via Matador Records.

on 2012’s “Light up Gold,” and it becomes more confounding on “Sunbathing Animal,” the band’s third LP. There has been pressure placed on Parquet Courts because of the cult-hit status of “Light up Gold,” and “Sunbathing Animal” does not disappoint. If you listen closely, hints of Brit-rock, R&B, blues and the obvious hardcore punk rise to the surface. While I didn’t like the title track on first listen, the singles that followed, ‘Black & White’ and ‘Instant Disassembly,’ hooked me in a big way, and hearing the whole album for the first time really made it all make sense. If you want to add some discord to your summer playlist, I would recommend checking out Parquet Courts. “Sunbathing Animal” is out now via What’s Your Rupture/Mom + Pop Records.

news of the weird WHAT'S IN A NAME Vanellope, Rydder, Jceion and Burklee head the latest annual list of the most common baby names on the Social Security Administration register of first-time-appearing names. There were 63 Vanellopes (girls), but only 10 each for Rydder and Jceion, the most popular debut names for boys. Other notables were Hatch (eight times) and Psalms (seven). (In other "name" news, among the finalists in April's "Name of the Year" contest sponsored by Deadspin.com were the actual monikers Curvaceous Bass, (Dr.) Eve Gruntfest, Chillie Poon and the winner -- Shamus Beaglehole. EDITORIAL PRIVILEGE To celebrate today's 25th anniversary of the weekly distribution of News of the Weird by Universal Uclick, Chuck Shepherd recalls a few of his favorite stories (among the more than 25,000 covered). • (1989) In the mid-1980s, convicted South Carolina murderer Michael Godwin won his appeal to avoid the electric chair and serve only life imprisonment. In March, while sitting naked on a metal prison toilet, attempting to fix a TV set, the 28-year-old Godwin bit into a wire and was electrocuted. • (1991) Dee Dee Jonrowe, leading the Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon in January in northern Minnesota, took a wrong turn and went 300 yards before recognizing her error. The mistake cost her team only a few minutes, but stopping to calculate her location allowed the dogs an unsupervised rest, and by the time she was ready to go, two of her dogs had begun to copulate. She was forced to wait on them for 25 minutes and lost the lead. • (1992) A 38-year-old man, unidentified in news reports, was hospitalized in Princeton, West Virginia, in October with gunshot wounds. He had been drinking beer and cleaning his three guns -- and had accidentally shot himself with each one. He said the first shot didn't hurt, the second "stung a little," and the third "really hurt," prompting him to call for help. • (1994) In Toronto in March, Sajid Rhatti, 23, and his 20-year-old wife brawled over whether Katey Sagal, who plays Peg Bundy on "Married With Children," is prettier than Christina Applegate, who plays her daughter. First, the wife slashed Rhatti in the groin with a wine bottle as they scuffled, but she dressed his wounds and the couple sat down again to watch another episode of the show. Moments later, the brawl erupted again, and Rhatti, who suffered a broken arm and shoulder, stabbed his wife in the chest, back and legs before they begged neighbors to call an ambulance. • (1996) A pre-trial hearing was scheduled in Lamar, Missouri, on Joyce Lehr's lawsuit against the county for injuries from a 1993 fall in the icy, unplowed parking lot of the local high school. The Carthage Press reported that Lehr claimed damage to nearly everything in her body. According to her petition: "All the bones, organs, muscles, tendons,
by Chuck Shepherd
tissues, nerves, veins, arteries, ligaments ... discs, cartilages, and the joints of her body were fractured, broken, ruptured, punctured, compressed, dislocated, separated, bruised, contused, narrowed, abrased, lacerated, burned, cut, torn, wrenched, swollen, strained, sprained, inflamed and infected." • (1999) From a May police report in The Messenger (Madisonville, Kentucky), concerning two trucks being driven curiously on a rural road: A man would drive a truck 100 yards, stop, walk back to a second truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the first truck, stop, walk back to the first truck, drive it 100 yards beyond the second truck, and so on, into the evening. He did it, he told police, because his brother was passed out drunk in one of the trucks, and he was trying to drive both trucks home, at more or less the same time. (Not surprisingly, a blood-alcohol test showed the driver, also, to be impaired.) • (2002) The Lane brothers of New York, Mr. Winner Lane, 44, and Mr. Loser Lane, 41 (their actual birth names), were profiled in a July Newsday report, made more interesting by the fact that Loser is successful (a police detective in South Bronx) and Winner is not (a history of petty crimes). A sister said she believes her parents selected "Winner" because their late father was a big baseball fan and chose "Loser" just to complete the pairing. • (2004) The New York Times reported in February on a Washington, D.C., man whose love of music led him, in the 1960s, to meticulously hand-make and hand-paint facsimilie record album covers of his fantasized music, complete with imagined lyric sheets and liner notes (with some "albums" even shrinkwrapped), and even more incredibly, to handmake cardboard fascimilies of actual grooved discs to put inside them. "Mingering Mike," whom a reporter and two hobbyists tracked down (but who declined to be identified in print) also made real music, on tapes, using his and friends' voices to simulate instruments. His 38 imagined "albums" were discovered at a flea market after Mike defaulted on storagelocker fees, and the hobbyists who found them said they were so exactingly done that a major museum would soon feature them. • (1988) And finally, there was ol' Hal Warden, the Tennessee 16-year-old who was married at 15 and granted a divorce from his wife, 13. Hal had previously been married at age 12 to a 14-year-old (and fathered children with both), but the first wife divorced Hal because, she told the judge, "He was acting like a 10-year-old." Thanks, as usual, to the past and present members of the News of the Weird Board of Editorial Advisors. {in}
