ASHTON HAYWARD The mayor of Pensacola scored a victory when the Escambia Board of County Commissioners approved an interlocal agreement between the city and the county by a 4-1 vote. The agreement will pave the way for ST Aerospace to set up operations at the Pensacola International Airport and bring 300 jobs to the area.

RICK SCOTT When the governor said in his 2014 State of the State address that opportunity stretches from Key West to Panama City, we felt slighted. The gaffe added to Escambia County’s sense of being the redheaded stepchild of Florida.

TAMMY HENDERSON The Pensacola State College Director of Human Resources recently received the 2014 Nevis Herrington HR Excellence Award presented by the Florida Colleges’ HR Council. This award is presented annually to spotlight outstanding service in honor of Nevis Herrington, a founding member of the statewide HR Council. Henderson was recognized for her contributions to the system and demonstrated excellence as an HR Council member, as well as her leadership at the local and state levels.

ANDY ROSS The Escambia County Commission recently issued a proclamation to Captain Ross and Niuhi Dive Charters, in recognition of their removal of the greatest number of non-native, invasive lionfish. As part of a county pilot program, they removed 156 non-native, invasive lionfish this fall from Gulf of Mexico reefs.

JOSE GODINEZ-SAMPERIO The Florida Supreme Court unanimously ruled that undocumented immigrants cannot be admitted to the Florida Bar. GodinezSamperio, who came to the United States from Mexico at age 9 and later graduated Florida State’s law school, passed the Bar exam more than two years ago. His lawyers argued that, because he had received a status known as "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals" from the Obama administration and would not be deported, the Eagle Scout and high school valedictorian should be permitted to become a lawyer.

PENSACOLA CITY DECISION MAKING The city gave a permit for the

old Coca-Cola bottling plant on North Palafox to be renovated so that the state could relocate its parole and probation offices to the building. Nearby North Hill residents were upset. Mayor Ashton Hayward responded that he personally did not believe the facility belonged in a historic residential neighborhood, but he could do nothing. Another zoning issue bites the city in the butt.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE, PLEASE State Senator Alan Hayes, R-Umatilla, wants more guns in Florida schools. His rationale is more guns in the hallways and classrooms will deter another Columbine High School or Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Really?

His SB 968 would allow principals and school superintendents to appoint staff members or volunteers who are military veterans with honorable discharges, active duty military or retired law enforcement officials as gun-toting "designees." These designees would carry concealed weapons with them at all times on school property.

To become a school marshal—my term, not Hays’—they would be required to have 40 hours of school-safety training and an additional 12 hours of special training annually, comprised of eight hours of active shooter training and four hours of firearmproficiency training.

I’m not the only one who sees this is a bad idea. The Florida School Boards Association believes the better idea would be to have school resource officers, who are active lawenforcement officers, in every public school.

Who likes this bill? The National Rifle Association, of course. Hays’ bill is similar to one the NRA promoted after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. that left 20 students and six adults dead.

Hays argues that his “School Safety” bill will add an element of surprise to those thinking about shooting up a Florida school.

"Part of our tactics here is to not let those perpetrators of evil, for them to think there's no weapons at a school so I can go in there and not have any resistance,” said Hays. “They don't know that there are going to be weapons there but neither do they know that there are not."

Which argument prevailed in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee hearing? Did the esteemed senators believe teachers and volunteers packing were a better option for public schools than trained law enforcement officers?

Who did they believe would make parents feel would better protect their children?

If you said the sheriff ’s deputy or police officer, then you guessed wrong. Hays won the debate and the Senate Criminal Justice Committee approved the controversial proposal by a 5-2 vote. The vote was on the same day civil-rights leader Al Sharpton led a march protesting Florida’s "stand your ground" law.

Hays’ bill still has to be passed by the full senate and a companion bill has to make it through the Florida House. If it passes both houses, then Governor Rick Scott will have to sign the bill before it can become law.

Let’s hope common sense will intercede somewhere along the way and kill this ludicrous bill. {in} rick@inweekly.net

Arc Gateway plant nursery / photo by Samantha Crooke efore beginning your spring gardening projects, consider paying a visit to an area plant nursery, which not only helps you grow your own garden, but also provides the opportunity to give back to a community dedicated to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Arc Gateway plant nursery began in the 1960s as a therapy and education program, and first opened for commercial sales in 1988. A community cornerstone, the nursery provides work opportunities for 32 developmentally disabled adults, with the guidance of two full-time supervisors, a part-time supervisor and a nursery manager.

Whether you are in the market for some basic bedding, annual blooms or

other seasonal selections to supplement your home garden, or are in need of some supporting plants to fulfill a commercial landscape project, the nursery offers a diverse variety of plants and resources to meet your gardening needs.

“We offer plants to your typical home gardener, but we also provide plants to local landscaping businesses and even local plant nurseries,” Darlene Bonelli said.

Bonelli recently came on board to serve as the new nursery manager. She holds a degree in horticulture/ landscape and nursery management and has nearly a decades worth of experience in the field.

“Many members of our staff are very knowledgeable about the plants we carry, and we have staff members who have received professional training in horticulture,” she said.

Beginning your planting endeavors by consulting with a nursery such as Arc allows you to brainstorm ideas and talk through the elements and variables specific

to your garden space before getting your project underway. This allows you to make your garden undertaking efficient, cost-effective and ultimately, over time, a full-grown success.

“It’s always a good idea to consult with your local plant nursery before beginning any garden project,” Bonelli said. “Sometimes we find things in magazines that we would like to implement, but oftentimes the plants they suggest do not grow in our climate.”

Plus, a nursery can help outline the necessary prep work that needs to be taken to get a designated area ready to plant, considering elements all the way down to the soil itself.

“There are many things one must do to prepare the area where you plan to create a garden and nursery professionals can provide you with that information,” Bonelli said. “We want to see our customers’ gardens grow, so we are always happy to give plenty of advice.”

Before you get too carried away, keep in mind that timing is everything. A trip over to Arc can help break down exactly what should be planted and when.

“It’s a great time to prepare planting beds, but its best to wait until April to plant anything flowering,” Bonelli said.

Speaking of spring, the nursery is currently in the process of gearing up for planting season. As far as shade-loving annuals go, the garden stocks varieties including impatiens, begonias, and periwinkle, as well as many sun-loving annuals like marigolds, salvia and zinnias.

If you have a desire to kick off an herb garden, Bonelli provided a rundown of

the types of herbs to expect to find at the nursery, including, thyme, oregano, parsley and basil. If you have your heart set on a garden filled with vegetables, the nursery confirms several varieties coming soon.

“We know we will carry tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, but are not sure when they will be ready for purchase,” Bonelli said.

The nursery also stocks a selection of larger fruit-bearing bushes and trees for the planting, such as blueberries, pears and crab apples, as well as citrus trees including Meyer lemons, limes, grapefruit, satsumas and navel oranges.

“The individuals we serve are always eager to assist you in carrying and loading your purchases and have a way of making sure you leave with a smile,” Bonelli said.

Of course, along with any bountiful, inviting garden comes the appropriate finishes. Situated directly off the drive to the plant nursery is the Dove Garden Shop.

Once you have selected your plants for growing, this is a prime stop for functional accessories. The store carries gardeninspired items including recycled planters, decorative pots, gardening gloves, small tools, yard ornaments, wind chimes and birdhouses.

If you have any questions before making your way to the nursery and garden shop, the staff welcomes you to call ahead.

“Streets without trees and attractive landscaping simply are not appealing— those are streets people just want to race down in their cars so they can get through it as fast as possible,” Wagley said. “Add trees and everything slows down and becomes more pleasant.”

Some strides to improve the city’s bikeability have been made by local government; the redesign of Main Street in front of the Community Maritime Park incorporates trees, wide sidewalks, bike lanes and is a treatment Wagley said he hopes more streets will receive in the future.

Other recent planning improvements in Wagley’s estimation include converting one-way streets (such as portions of Palafox and Spring streets downtown) back to two lanes, and Councilmember Megan Pratt's Complete Streets Program. However, there is still a long way to go. “We still don't have a comprehensive or really focused and energized effort yet,” he said.

So, the Funky Bike Fest is just one way bike enthusiasts hope to get others invigorated about the probike (and pro-street side greenery) cause. The inaugural event was held at Palafox Wharf in 2013, but moved this year to the Belmont-DeVilliers intersection to bring the festival into the city and its neighborhoods and to celebrate the revitalization of the historic district just northeast of downtown.

“We want to make Pensacola a safer and more pleasant place to ride a bicycle,” Wagley stated of the vision behind the festival. “The Fest is a fun way to draw attention to that and to bring together people who can work together to help us get there.”

ould more trees along streets lead to more bicycles in town? While the link may seem tenuous at first, local bike advocates believe street designs that incorporate trees can make Pensacola more bike-friendly and literally more green.

Well-planned landscaping as part of roadway design is another way to incorporate plants into our surroundings to improve quality of life. Some say with more trees and enhanced landscapes in a community, people are more likely to get out and about— and slow our roll, so to speak—as a result.

“Rows of trees along streets are an absolute necessity for making our city more bike and pedestrianfriendly,” explained Christian Wagley, an environmental and green building consultant who also happens to be an avid bike commuter. “Trees narrow the field of view for drivers and thus make them slow down, which helps cyclists feel more comfortable on the road. And shade makes the riding much more pleasant for most of the year here.”

And we here at the IN know from personal experience that it's not for lack of trying. Sometimes it's actually the opposite—like overwatering.

Or too much sunlight.

But black thumbs be damned, we want to learn to be better plant people.

So we asked one of our favorite floral pros, Chloe Winchester Lawry of Supposey Wedding Florals, to give us the lowdown on some durable house plants that those of us cursed with poor juju might be able to keep alive. Here are her top five suggestions:

Succulents:

These plants come in all shapes and sizes. We've grown over thirty varieties in our Supposey cutting garden. Succulents are known for easy care, but with a common misconception— don't over water.

Gower's tip: Break off the healthy leaves on the bottom of the bloom at the base. Plant in moist dirt/ sand mixture, and they will regenerate a new bloom. Seriously, these babies multiply like bunnies.

n some ways, keeping a plant alive can seem like a bit of a hassle, at least for those of us who have a hard time remembering to water things—especially at work. But it might be worth keeping a watering can handy at your desk if you want to be more productive and less "sick."

Cerys Heroman, a landscape designer with Heroman Services Plant Company, is a sixth generation horticulture specialist working in a family-owned business.

Though their family has been in the plant business for 187 years, the Heromans are part of a tradition. They are also focused on the future of landscaping, one avenue of which is creating healthier, more productive workplace environments by bringing more of the outdoors into offices and businesses.

Founded in Louisiana, Heroman Services moved its headquarters to its Pensacola office—which has been open for over 10 years—six years ago and began working to get the word out locally about the benefits of interior landscaping.

“The reason we focus so much more on commercial versus residential is [because] we spend most of our time in the work environment,” Heroman said, who explained the benefits of maintaining indoor plants aren’t purely aesthetic—numerous studies have concluded that having plants in commercial environments decreases absenteeism and increases job performance and satisfaction in workers.

“The biggest benefit is to get rid of something NASA has actually termed as ‘Sick Building Syndrome,’” Heroman said. “In North America, about 20 to 30 percent of all of our buildings are considered sick buildings.”

Everything from carpeting and drywall to doors opening and allowing outdoor air toxins in can contribute to the pollutants indoors, which are recirculated through central air and heat systems. “You’ll find that people who have these so-called sick buildings, their employees complain of eye, throat, and nose irritation, an increased amount of headaches, dry skin, difficulty concentrating and overall unpleasantness,” Heroman said.

“If you have one plant for every one hundred square-feet of room, you can reduce Sick Building Syndrome up to 12 percent within 24 hours of installing the plant.”

GO IRISH ON THE ISLAND…

St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl

Monday, March 17 Want to drink like it’s your job on St. Patrick’s Day? It’s totally possible to do just that if you participate in this pub crawl, which begins at 10 a.m. and makes 17 stops over 8 and a half hours. The crawl ends at Sandshaker Lounge and Package, which will host the official Post-Pub Crawl Party, featuring live music by Hippie Radio beginning at 6 p.m.

An official St. Paddy’s Day Pub Crawl t-shirt will be available for purchase at each of the 17 stops and proceeds will benefit Covenant Hospice. Also, this year’s lineup is the largest in the event’s history if you need extra justification for calling in sick.

Hot on the heels of Mardi Gras comes yet another weekend of planned partying, this one in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. As the holiday falls on a Monday this year, the Irish-themed festivities run from Friday through Monday on both Pensacola Beach and the mainland. The big blowouts are mainly on St. Paddy’s Day proper—including the largest St. Paddy’s day pub crawl on the beach to date and multiple parties at Irish pubs in Pensacola—but the weekend also holds fun for those unable to bail on work on Monday. Below is a breakdown of events to hopefully help guide you to the best party (or set of parties) for your schedule.

“Go Irish on the Island” Family-Friendly Scavenger Hunt

Friday, March 14—Sunday, March 16 While much of the festivities on the beach are for the 21 and over demographic, little ones (and adults, too) have an opportunity to get in on the fun via the beach’s scavenger hunt. Families, individuals and groups are welcome to pick up a list of clues at the Pensacola Beach Visitors Information Center from Friday, March 14 at 3 p.m. through Sunday, March 16 at 2 p.m. Participants follow clues to different beach locations, taking pictures at each stop. The scavenger hunt drawing will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Visitors Information Center with prizes including a weekend getaway at the Hilton Garden Inn on Pensacola Beach.

Paddy O’Leary’s Irish Pub

Friday, March 14—Monday, March 17 Paddy's is one place you’re guaranteed to hear an Irish accent in Pensacola rear-round, at least when co-owner Seamus Hunt is on premise. Prior to their massive St. Patrick’s Day fete, they are hosting a weekend full of live music, drink specials and games. Friday night brings the “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” Guinness party, with Guinness give aways and $4 pints of Guinness and $5 Irish Carbombs all night.

Saturday is dedicated to celebrating whiskey at Paddy’s with the “Aye, They’re Givin’ It Away” Irish whiskey night, featuring a "Paddy" Irish whiskey promo with free samples (while they last) and $3 Tullamore Dew.

On St. Patrick’s Day, if you feel less like crawling, and more like parking it in one spot, then Paddy’s is probably the place for you. They have a full schedule of live music and St. Patrick’s Day traditions, including Mass to kick off the day’s events and a nod to Tim Finnegan. The Paddy’s party also promises appearances by St. Patrick himself all day long along with corned beef and cabbage, should you get hungry before closing time.

The Soundtrack of Peace

Ladysmith Black Mambazo on the street in Durban, South Africa For the past 50 years, South African acapella group Ladysmith Black Mambazo has been dedicated to spreading the message of peace and love around the world.

“Our late president, Nelson Mandela, told us that we have to be cultural ambassadors from South Africa to the world since we have been blessed with the opportunity to travel all over,” said Albert Mazibuko, who has been singing with Ladysmith Black Mambazo since 1969.

Assembled in the early 1960s by Joseph Shabalala, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has recorded music with Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris and most notably, Paul Simon on his famous “Graceland.” Simon also helped the singers produce their first worldwide release, “Shaka Zulu,” which won the 1988 Grammy for Best Folk Recording.

The group consists of ten singers. Some are the sons and grandson’s of former Ladysmith performers, including Babuyile Shabalala, the grandson of founder Shabalala. While the voices may have changed, the music has remained unchanged for the most part.

“Our singing is traditional singing, South African folk music,” Mazibuko said. “The subject matter has changed from singing about the struggles of apartheid and looking 818 1

“Of course there were many important people in the struggle our country had for freedom, but Mandela was the light that shined the way for us. That when he was released from prison and became president, he sought to heal the wounds our people had suffered and not seek revenge, or anything of the sort, is an incredible message for the world.”

In 1993, when Mandela received the Nobel Peace Prize, he invited the singers to join him in Oslo, Norway. It was a great honor, Mazibuko said.

“He wanted us to represent South Africa with songs,” he said. “This was an incredible honor for us. We had the fortune to sing at many events that he asked us to be at. It was always wonderful. After he passed away, we read an article discussing his love of music. The article said that of all his favorite music his top was Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Can you imagine how this has made us feel?”

Throughout years of constant touring, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has made its way to Northwest Florida before and will be making a return visit Friday, March 21, presented by local public radio station WUWF. “We have been to this area of Florida, especially Pensacola,” Mazibuko said. “We love it there because it's very much like our home, Durban, South Africa.

There's beautiful sunny weather and lovely beaches in each place. After being away from home for eight weeks, when we reach Niceville, it will be such a treat to enjoy life like we live it back in South Africa. We can't wait to share our music with your people!”

No matter where they sing, the message has remained the same for half a century.

“Everywhere people are, we want peace for their families and for their lives,” Mazibuko said. “Life brings us struggles, but if people maintain a desire to love, to want to get along, then this will succeed more than it doesn't. We think it is important to bond together everywhere in this way. We also love to share our culture, the culture of South Africa. We love our country and who we are and we sing and dance of our culture.” {in}

“Our late president, Nelson Mandela, told us that we have to be cultural ambassadors from South Africa to the world since we have been blessed with the opportunity to travel all over.” Albert Mazibuko

forward to a different country, to songs of encouragement and dedication for people to work together.”

According to their website, the group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. The men would live in hostels together, which is why the group has consistently comprised solely of men.

Their latest album, “Always with Us,” released earlier this year, features female voices, including Nellie Shabalala, the late wife of Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s founder, who passed away in 2002.

“Before she died, she recorded several songs with her church choir,” Mazibuko said. “Joseph was very proud of Nellie's singing, and we were so glad we had her songs to listen to. Music has always been a powerful tonic when life sends us sadness. At some point we wanted to do something to honor Nellie. We thought maybe we could take her recordings and add our voices to the songs. That we could sing with Nellie so the whole world could hear her beautiful voice and learn what a wonderful person she was. It was difficult to do, and we spent years trying to record

with her songs. It's Mambazo but with ladies too.”

After decades of music and dozens of albums, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has amassed quite a bit of awards.

“We have been blessed for many years with Grammy nominations. I think we have fifteen so far,” Mazibuko said. “It's an honor that the American music people think so highly of our music and that they feel we have maintained a level of quality that warrants their attention.”

Their latest Grammy win was for “Live: Singing for Peace Around the World,” an album that held a special importance for Mazibuko and Ladysmith Black Mambazo fans.

“When we released it, we knew that former president Nelson Mandela was not going to be with us much longer,” he explained. “He was 94 years old and had not been healthy. As I said earlier, he bestowed on us the mission of spreading songs of peace throughout the world. When we titled the CD, it was inspired by him. We dedicated WHEN: 7:30 p.m., Friday March 21 the CD to him. When we won the WHERE: Mattie Kelly Arts Center, 100 E. ColGrammy award, we naturally dedilege Blvd., Niceville cated the award to him.”

COST: $35 “It's so hard to describe what DETAILS: wuwf.org or mambazo.com Nelson Mandela meant to the people of South Africa,” Mazibuko said.

Black Lips -UNDERNEATH THE RAINBOW

Unconcerned, freewheeling, raucous and dark are all words that popped into my head while listening to “Underneath the Rainbow,” the new LP from Atlanta’s Black Lips. The band has earned quite a reputation for their antics, not only on and off stage, but these cats were scaring people before they were musicians. Two of the members were expelled from their high school during their senior year simply because of heightened fears following the Columbine massacre.

These personal lives led to a collective

known for onstage crudeness, nudity, urination, vomiting, fireworks and to a lesser degree, remote controlled cars.

The really impressive thing about Black Lips is their ability to capture the energy and effectiveness of a live show on tape, with their highly distorted guitars, sing-along choruses and backwoods lyrical content. However, it definitely doesn’t hurt to have a fellow garage rock impresario behind the board running production.

Patrick Carney, drummer for blues-rock goliath The Black Keys, captured all the sounds on this new record and helped guide the band toward a vibe that is much more grown up, while maintaining the swagger of a garage rock band.

The starting point for the album is ‘Drive-By Buddy,’ which I think is a great introduction if you’re not familiar with the band. It’s light and fun, and not too much to take in all at once. While tempos and subject matters change throughout the course of the 34 minutes of music, the mood is very consistent and can maintain your attention, simply by staying level and never becoming tedious.

Bands always want to find new ways of sticking out in their audience’s minds long after their performances are over or their songs are no longer being played. Black Lips have come up with a pretty genius

plan to market this new album and tour: they want to connect it with the sense of smell. This is from a press release regarding the tour: “Recognizing the powerful effect of scent on emotion and memory, the band worked with a team of olfactory scientists to craft a band-specific scent that will be disseminated throughout the duration of their shows, evoking ‘ocean,’ ‘cedar,’ ‘moon,’ ‘denim,’ ‘squid ink,’ ‘fire’ and ‘semen’ (if the man only ate fresh plums for about a week) among other aromas.”

I feel like this is innovative, to say the least. Fortunately for us, Black Lips are bringing this tour to party on the beach with us for Hangout Fest in May. Hopefully, the beach air won’t kill the plum smell. “Underneath the Rainbow” is out March 18 via Vice Records.

that BSS has been placed on the backburner (hopefully not permanently), Drew, as well as Canning and obviously Feist, is focused on his solo career. “Darlings,” Drew’s second solo album and follow up to 2007’s “Spirit If…” is out on March 18.

Based solely on the powerful single ‘Good Sex,’ this stands to mark new ground for the songwriter. He set out to make something that was pure and free of tricks, which could traverse the worlds of love and sex, something we can all connect to.

“This record is a celebration of memories,” Drew said. Odds are there will be some painful ones involved. “Darlings” is out March 18 via Arts & Crafts Records. {in}

Spring (Art) Fling

Poppy Garcia, mixed media

Payton Gellner, ceramic

Bill Griffin, stained glass

512 Gallery, a newly opened art space downtown on Gadsden Street, will be hosting its first opening show of the year on Sunday. The Spring Fair will feature new artwork by both fresh faces and returning artists. 512 founder Cleopatra Griffin took a few moments to tell us what expect at the event and for the future of the gallery.

Griffin: We (the wonderful artists and art enthusiasts that have helped me this far) joke that our statement is "Let's get weird, Pensacola," and I think it's stuck. You can expect that on T-shirts soon, along with the main theme that it's your neighborhood gallery.

ist and don't consider yourself a weirdo…well, I'd be concerned.

IN: Tell me a little about how and why 512 started and how long it’s been up and running.

Griffin: It started as a dream of mine. I wanted a space that would encourage the younger artist community to get out there and show their work, a space that would be welcoming and comfortable to all. One of my main focuses was to escape the generic gallery setting. Throughout my travels, I've visited a lot of galleries and museums and I have found that the artwork is quite often overwhelmed by the immensity of the building and the sterile environment. With all of this buzzing around in my head, 512 opened up September of 2013 in a renovated room in one of East Hill’s historic homes.

IN: Does the gallery have a statement or a theme?

IN: Tell me a little about the Spring Fair that’s coming up- the idea behind it, how many participating artists, things to be expected, etc…

Griffin: The Spring Fair is the kickoff of the gallery's new season, weekly hours, and a great year of events. There are nine participating artists with artwork ranging from stained glass, pottery, handmade dolls, vegan baked goods, mixed media pieces, and comics by yours truly. The gallery hours are noon to 6 p.m. every Sunday starting March 16.

IN: I noticed on the event's Facebook page you mentioned "good conversation and weirdos." Would you elaborate more on this?

Griffin: [Laughs] Well, it's not your typical gallery setting, and I welcome all walks of life. Gathering so many artists under one roof is bound to be interesting and spark unique conversations, and if you're an art-

Cleopatra Redbird, "My Life In Comics" detail from Issue #1, drawing and watercolor. each opening will be on display for roughly a month, if you miss the first show you can stop by any Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m. and check it out.

IN: What kind of events would you like to host in the future?

Griffin: I am currently in the process of putting together the April show, a darker take on a Pagan Easter which celebrates a goddess of purity, youth, and new life beginnings.

"Eostre" is going to have visual art along with a performance piece and live music. So as far as events of the future go, I am open to all mediums and want to incorporate every type of art form possible.

IN: What direction would you like the future of 512 to head in?

Griffin: Ideally, to continue growing and being a hub for the local art community. Eventually I would love 512 to host various workshops, and art seminars for kids, but for now we are doing what we can to join in events around town.

IN: When there isn't an event, what can one expect to see at 512?

Griffin: Well, it's a home and studio spaces too, so one can expect to see the flow of artists living and working around each other. The work from

IN: Can anyone display their work there or do you have to be a member? And are there any open calls coming up for specific types of work/themes/or shows you'd like to feature?

Griffin: Anyone local can certainly display their work at 512. I ask for images of work along with a short bio to be sent to cleopatra.griffin@gmail.com. I would be open to a couple more artists for the Eostre show on April 13, and have an open call for May through the end of the season. Email me—I am always inviting new artists. {in}

news of the weird SOBERING SIGNS In February, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled that David Bell could not avoid being charged with DUI merely because he had been sober enough to pass all six "field sobriety tests" administered during a traffic stop. It was enough, the court said, that he had admitted drinking that night. A few days later, the Austin American-Statesman reported on Texan Larry Davis' struggle to clear the 2013 DWI arrest from his record—since he had blown a 0.0 alcohol reading that night and then had voluntarily undergone a blood test for other impairing drugs and come up clean on that. Davis had admitted to "one drink," but allegedly failed a "field sobriety test" (in the opinion of the arresting officer, anyway).

(Davis' case is still unresolved, but since he has been declared an "indigent," the state covers his legal expenses.)

THE CONTINUING CRISIS The firm 3D Babies has begun selling (for $800) 8-inch-long fetal sculptures developed from 3-D ultrasound images, computer graphics and 3-D printing technology ("printing" successive layers of material continuously, eventually creating a physical object). (Four-inch and 2-inch models are available for $400 and $200, respectively.)

For celebrity hounds who are not planning imminent parenthood, the company sells one fetal sculpture off the shelf: the Kim Kardashian-Kanye West fetus ("Baby North West") for only $250.

• Ms. Blondie Bennett (her recently acquired real name), 38, is not just a California model selling provocative "Barbie doll" photos of herself online (featuring her recently augmented 32JJ breast implants).

She is at work on a longer-range project to remake herself completely as a human Barbie doll—to include the popular critique that Barbie represents not only bodily perfection but mindlessness. Bennett said she has had 20 hypnotherapy sessions to "help" her appear more confused and vacant, according to news reports. "I want people to see me as a plastic sex doll, and being brainless is a big part of that." She said she is doing well, in that she recently got lost driving to her mother's house.

IRONIES As Americans know, Canada's health care system, funded largely by taxes, is dramatically less expensive than America's—well, unless you're a dog. The Canadian news service CTV reported in February that increasingly, pet owners in Winnipeg, Manitoba, are making the 120-mile car trip to Grand Forks, N.D., because U.S. veterinarian prices are significantly lower than comparable services by Canadian vets.

One Winnipeg family, facing a $650 teethcleaning plus blood work for Jackson, their Shitzu, took him on the road trip to Grand Forks, where the bill came to $205.

• The Internal Revenue Service might have second thoughts about suing William Berroyer to recover a $60,000 tax underpayment since, by the time Berroyer was finished with them, the federal government had been ordered to write Berroyer (now age 66) checks totaling nearly 15 times that much. Berroyer, who was on his way out of the IRS office in Hauppauge, N.Y., after his first meeting in 2008, tripped over a phone cord and fell against a filing cabinet, injuring himself so severely that he required a 17-day hospital stay and rehabilitation and alleged long-term confinement to a wheelchair.

• In February, after a 43-year-old rape victim in Cowlitz County, Wash., missed court hearings, prosecutors, needing her testimony, filed for a rare "material witness" warrant to assure her availability—by asking the judge to jail her. She acknowledged her anxieties, but promised to do better if the judge would dismiss the warrant. She pointed out that prosecutors were seeking to lock her up against her will—to force her to testify that a rapist had once locked her up against her will (in addition to committing other indignities). (The sympathetic judge dismissed the warrant, but the woman has since missed another court date.)

PERSPECTIVE First-World Problems: The designer Giorgio Armani is one of the most recent one-day sponsors of a United Nations project to send safe drinking water to help some of the planet's 768 million people without access to a clean supply. The Tap Project program signs up smartphone users with a reward: that it will donate one day's clean water to a child for anyone who can manage to refrain from picking up his or her phone for 10 consecutive minutes.

Tap Project screens even feature a 10-minute countdown clock to help do-gooders remain strong in the face of anxiety over the brief loss of access to Facebook, online games, et al.

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Unclear on the Concept: (1) Michael Williams, 53, was arrested in Sumter, S.C., in February after his debit card was rejected as payment at the Applebee's restaurant. Police were called when Williams' backup form of payment was a "U.S. currency" bill in the denomination of $1 trillion. (2) Dyonta Rose, 29, in police custody the night of Feb. 22 in Dallas for possession of narcotics, fled the police cruiser still wearing his handcuffs. Rose was tracked down a short time later when he called 911 to ask for an ambulance because his handcuffs were cutting off circulation in his arm. {in} From Universal Press Syndicate Chuck Shepherd’s News Of The Weird © 2014 Chuck Shepherd
