Pensacola even paid $500,000 to Davison’s attorneys for negotiating the developer agreement with the city. Emerald Coast Utilities Authority has been played twice. In July, the utility had a Texas developer willing to buy its 19 acres on Main Street for $7.6 million. The developer—Aaron Wiese—didn’t come to the meetings, but had some nice drawings and a few newspaper clippings from nearly 10 years ago. Then we learned he had been arrested on a drunken driving charge. Mr. Wiese quietly slipped back out of town. Recently we learned that the California-based company that was to build a first-of-its-kind (a clear sign that something is amiss) waste disposal system for the utility has sold its interest in the venture to newly formed Delaware firm. Rainbow Environmental Services had promised to convert county trash to a marketable fuel. Yeah, right. There have been other hucksters and schemes. Reynolds Ready Mix at the Port of Pensacola, Matt Altier at the University of West Florida, and the Aquarium on Main Street are just a few of those that come to mind. P. T.

For a place that is so tough on its leaders and anyone who tries to push this community, it’s amazing how susceptible we are to hucksters, scam artists and out-oftowners looking for “sweetheart” deals. Show us a slick PowerPoint presentation, tell us how great you are, maybe hand out a few old newspaper articles, hire a few local influencers and we hand over the keys to city, county and anything else you want. When the Good Lord was passing out his heavenly virtues, he must have decided that it would be a waste of time to hand out the gift of discernment to anyone in Escambia County. We’re all puppies, just waiting for someone to pat our bellies and blindly follow whoever promises to make our lives better. Scott Davison, founder and CEO of the now-defunct Land Capital Group, was dropped as the developer of the Community Maritime Park when it was revealed that he had misrepresented his development team and his financial capabilities in his original proposal in order to qualify to be the master developer. He had also been faced with judgments totaling over $10 million for projects in Escambia County, Florida, Texas, and across the country. Unfortunately, the discovery was not made until millions of dollars had been spent on “soft costs” for the park and for Davison’s “expertise.” Heck, the city of

The email invitation was a surprise: “Join us for Mornings with the Mayor. This one-hour meeting welcomes all press and media partners to sit down, bring forward your pressing questions, and get answers straight from the source.” We later learned that Mayor Ashton Hayward had gotten the idea from Todd Strange, the mayor of Montgomery, Ala., whom he had visited to see how that city had revitalized its downtown. Prior to becoming mayor, Strange served as chairman of the Montgomery County Commission for nearly five years. He also was the former president, CEO, and co-owner of Blount Strange Automotive Group. An experienced politician and business leader, Strange worked hard to keep open lines of communication. “We went to city hall and it was unique because Todd meets with the media once a week,” said Hayward. “I was talking to my
team that we should invite the media once a week. The media always has opinions and objectively reports the news. I’m sure they want to know what’s happening at city hall and hear my ideas.” The “Morning with Mayor” was a dramatically different approach for a mayor and his staff that had, in the past, its favorites for “news leaks” and appeared to shut out those who wrote articles them deemed as unfavorable. The Independent News had once been dropped from all city press releases, and its blog had been blocked on city servers. The meeting was the first opportunity in nearly a year that the Independent News had been given to directly ask the mayor any questions. Prior to the Tuesday morning session, all questions were handled through his media handlers. However, the recent shake-ups, layoffs and other departures at the daily newspaper—and an upcoming re-election bid in 2014—appeared to have made Hayward more open in dealing with the press.

TALK OF AMBUSH
Mayor Hayward handled the session surprising well. He was his usual smiling, affable self. He did tend to overtalk and run together some of his ideas, but considering the relative inexperience of the reporters in attendance, he had few troubles in the room…other than maybe the Independent News. The only time voices were raised was in the discussion on how Hayward felt the Collier Merrill, Rob Mackey, and others had “ambushed” the city council three weeks earlier over the contract for food services at the Pensacola International Airport. Merrill’s The Fish House and Mackey’s Bagelheads are part of the Creative Food Group that had finished second to the St. Louis-based OHM Concessions in the bid process. Under OHM’s plan, nationally branded franchises – Chick-fil-A, Einsten Bros. Bagels, Surf City Squeeze and Corona – would open up shop in the airport. The Fish House and Bagelheads had attended the Sept. 26 council meeting, along with other partners Varona’s and Pensacola Bay Brewery, to protest the fairness of the selection process. While they had not filed an official protest with the mayor’s office, Merrill had been told by City Administrator Colleen Castille to voice their objections directly to the council at the meeting. The city council voted to table the issue. At week later, Mayor Hayward had sent out a newsletter defending the process and his selection and accusing Merrill and his team of strong-arming the council and ambushing them at the meeting. When asked about the “ambush,” the mayor said, “We put a process in place. We had a committee. They didn't protest it. Let's move on to the next deal.” He explained why he had pulled the item off the agenda for the following council meeting. Hayward said, “What I thought would be smart, since Mr. Johnson made the motion to table and it's my agenda item, let's look at this, let's make sure that everything was done correctly. We feel like everything was done correctly.” The mayor pointed out that Robert de Varona, who had held the food services contract for nearly two decades, was part of the consulting team and knew how to file a protest. But was it an ambush? "That's what I called it," said Hayward, "It was ambush." How so? Creative Food Group went to the council meeting as it was instructed to do by the city administrator. “They did, but in my opinion I said it was an ambush,” replied Hayward. “You've said things that I've done, that I might not have thought that, but I don't call and raise cane.” But we're right. "Maybe you might think that, and as a journalist you should. I felt like it was an ambush, so we said it was an ambush,” said the mayor. “They're good people. We all have skin in the game.” He added, “We will see what happens. They might win. If they do, we will move on. We're going to support them and were going to say let's make Pensacola a better

place. I'm a big boy. Sometimes you win 'em, sometimes you lose 'em. It's not one person against another.” The mayor said that he felt that not voting for OHM Concessions was sending the wrong message to those outside Pensacola. "If we are going to do the process correctly, then we don't care about bringing outside business to Pensacola." He went after the argument that some had made that his recommending OHM was a sign that he hasn’t supported local businesses. “If I move into Pensacola and start a business, am I not local?” asked Hayward. “That argument is weak.” He proudly held up a print out that he said showed that, to date, the city had spent $23 million with local vendors. "That's pretty strong, so we do do business with local vendors.” The mayor appeared to be surprised that the issue had blown up like it did. “There have been many people that have lost out on bids that are close friends, but they didn't raise this kind of cane. “ Were they wrong to come to the council meeting? He said, “No. Listen they wanted to make a point, I wanted to make a point. I'm going to visit their restaurants and I'm going to be friends with them.” On Oct. 21, City Administrator Colleen Castille pulled the Airport Food Services contract off the agenda for the city council’s meeting on Oct. 24. It’s uncertain when the mayor will bring it back up.

The mayor said that there has been no progress on closing the fire pension and that he had made no decision on who will be fire chief—Matt Schmitt has been the acting chief since 2010. He would like to renegotiate the Wahoo’s use agreement for the Bayfront Stadium. Hayward said, “I think we’re looking at a way we can all win together.” There still are no plans for old Blount School property on Gregory Street, in which the city has invested $466,700. “I don’t want to make a mistake—I’ve made plenty, obviously, in the past two years and nine months,” said the mayor. “Let’ s make sure that when we do something in Pensacola this time, it’s done right. I want the project over there to be stellar for the community that lives there. I think we can have something going there in the next 12 months.” Hayward ended the session with a promise to hold more media chats and a request for help. “I can tell you Pensacola is on the way up,” he said. “People with money are coming to Pensacola now. They are looking to come over here on the weekends. It's not just Fairhope anymore. It's Pensacola.” Hayward added, “Because we're talking it, we're telling the story and we're positive about that story. We should drive everything, and I need your help to continue to drive that.” “I think we all know I'm focused on making our city great.” {in}

CLOSER TO A CURE by Jennifer Leigh
“I don't think anyone believes they will get cancer, but the reality is that one out of eight women will be diagnosed.” Dr. Nutan DeJoubner
Discussing recent advances in breast cancer treatment The reality is one out of every eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and that the harrowing statistic hasn’t changed in the past year. However, there is still much to be optimistic about. As the years go on, advances in breast cancer treatment and prevention continue to increase. In fact the American Cancer Society recently reported that the death rate of breast cancer has decreased 34 percent since 1990. October 24, 2013
“I don't think anyone believes they will get cancer, but the reality is that one out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Dr. Nutan DeJoubner, oncology, Baptist Medical Group. “However, if detected early, the survival rate for invasive breast cancer is 98 percent.” It’s difficult enough to fully digest the black and white facts of cancer, let alone try to make sense of all of the new studies and drugs. That’s when you seek the advice of a medical professional. The IN spoke with DeJoubner about some of the new advances in breast cancer treatment and prevention that have been making headlines in 2013.
DETECTION AND PREVENTION
Studies continue to demonstrate that regular exercise and a healthy diet can reduce your risk of breast cancer, and research from recent studies describes why. Exercise changes the way the body handles estrogen,
which then fuels breast cancer. A University of North Carolina study has found that just a few hours a week of physical activity can lower the risk of breast cancer—yet another reason to not skip out on the gym. “We learn everyday how lifestyle choices can lead to breast cancer,” said DeJoubner. “Obesity, diet and alcohol consumption are linked with higher estrogen production and increase the risk for breast cancer. However, these are relatively new discoveries.” Early detection is key to beating breast cancer. By knowing your family history as well as your own body, you are one step ahead of the game. This past summer, Angelina Jolie made headlines when she underwent a preventative mastectomy after learning she carried a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. It’s important for women to discuss their family history and risk factors with their primary physician, noted DeJoubner.
“Women should consider genetic testing if they have had a close relative — mother, sister, aunt, grandmother — who developed breast cancer prior to menopause,” DeJoubner said. “We offer genetic testing at Baptist and can help determine if the woman is a candidate. The National Cancer Institute also has an online tool [cancer.gov/bcrisktool].” Mammograms have also come a long way in recent years thanks to technology. New in 2013 is tomosynthesis, a large word for 3D mammography, which provides a clearer, more accurate view allowing doctors to pinpoint any abnormalities. “Tomosynthesis is breakthrough technology for women with dense breasts,” she explained. “Breast density is when the breast contains more glandular or fatty tissue. The denser the breast, the higher proportion of glandular tissue, which creates a higher risk for breast cancer. Dense breast tissue can also make it harder to see potential tumors on mammograms.” Other screening options include a breast MRI for high-risk patients, individuals with a palpable mass or those who have had a previous diagnosis or surgical procedure. Baptist Hospital is the only healthcare provider in the area that provides 3D imaging, DeJoubner notes. Scintimammography, or molecular breast imaging, may be used to supplement a mammography, but not replace it, DeJoubner said. During the test a radioactive fluid is injected into the vein and cancer cells light up. The test is only used at a few medical centers at this time, but there's never any harm in asking your doctor about receiving the test. Don't forget the age-old self exam either. "Woman should be familiar with their bodies and pay attention to any changes," said DeJoubner. "When doing a self exam on your breasts, check for any lumps or 11
thickening, discharge from the nipple, change in the shape of the breast or the nipple or any changes in the skin such as scaling or pitting. There are many things that mimic breast cancer, but the only way to be sure is to discuss any concerns with your physician and have routine mammograms based on your physician’s recommendations."
MAKING SENSE OF MEDS
Breast cancers are classified in categories by what encourages the tumor to grow. From there, oncologists determine the best treatment, DeJoubner said. “About 75 percent of all breast cancers are estrogen receptor positive [ER+], meaning they grow in response to hormone estrogen,” she added. “Hormone therapy using anti-estrogen drugs are used to treat ER+ breast cancer.” While medications such as tamoxin, or Nolvadex, have been used for more than 30 years to treat breast cancer by blocking estrogen receptors, it has recently been approved to use such anti-estrogen drugs as a preventative measure for women who are at high-risk for breast cancer, but use has been limited because of side effects. “Newer types of drugs being used on ER+ cancers are called aromatase inhibitors,” explained DeJoubner. “Aromatase is an enzyme that changes hormones into estrogen. It lowers estrogen levels in the body, taking away the fuel that causes ER+ cancers to grow.” Another new drug option may be Exemestane, which has been studied in the prevention of breast cancer in higher than normal risk women, may be an option in the future. Right now, however, it is still waiting for FDA approval.
IN TREATMENT
On the treatment side, a new line of chemotherapy drugs, called "targeted therapies" deliver medicine directly to what is driving the cancer and eliminate the cancer cells without causing problems to normal cells, which means minimal side effects.
"Breast cancer research has been able to identify hormones and proteins that are linked to tumor growth," explains DeJoubner. "Drugs like Herceptin and Kadcyla are examples of targeted therapies." While a cancer diagnosis leaves little time for women to worry about their looks, many women may not be comfortable with losing their hair and/ or a breast. "With a cancer diagnosis, physical, emotional and spiritual concerns need to be addressed," said DeJoubner. "Body image changes associated with breast cancer can be short-term such as hair loss, or long term changes in how their breasts look. It is important for women to talk about their feelings and seek out resources." Some surgeries such as a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy provide some patients with the option to conserve their breast tissue. "During surgery, after removal of the tumor, surgeons remove surrounding tissue and send it to the pathology lab for testing," said DeJoubner. "This tissue testing determines if there are any remaining cancer cells." Advances in breast cancer treatment are working to take it a step further. The MarginProbe, while still in development, is a device that will allow surgeons to test tissue for cancer during surgery. This could reduce the need for more surgeries. A new surgery term you might be hearing: Oncoplastic surgery is for breast cancer patients who opt for plastic surgery after a mastectomy. "Many women choose to have reconstructive or plastic surgery along with their
“Education is empowering patients to get their screening and reducing the risk of developing breast cancer, by stopping smoking, eating healthy and being active.” DeJoubner

breast cancer treatment," DeJoubner said. "It is important that the woman communicates her goals with her physicians prior to treatment because the oncologist, general surgeon and plastic surgeon must all work together if reconstructive surgery is the goal." Another development is the DigniCap. Like the MarginProbe, the cap is still being tested. The DigniCap is a tightlyfitted cap filled with gel chilled to -15 to -40 Fahrenheit that patients wear for 20-50 minutes before, during and after chemotherapy treatment. DeJoubner says that studies using cold caps to prevent hair loss have been ongoing for years. "Unfortunately, with some drugs, hair loss is just part of the treatment," she said.
you. It's reminding women to be in charge of their health. Those bizarrely named events help local and national foundations raise funds that go toward cancer research and free mammograms to women who cannot afford them. Last year, 15,000 showed up for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event. The event raised $500,000 for the American Cancer Society. "Education is empowering patients to get their screening and reducing the risk of developing breast cancer, by stopping smoking, eating healthy and being active," said DeJoubner. "That is what the month of October is about, getting people more aware of the disease." {in}
'EDUCATION IS EMPOWERING'
Thanks to social media and the constant flow of information, Breast Cancer Awareness is everywhere. More than likely, it offers up more questions than answers, which doctors are more than happy to answer. "Use trusted resources and discuss concerns with your physician," advises DeJoubner. "For online cancer resources, refer to credible sites such as the National Cancer Institute, cancer.gov, or the American Cancer Society at cancer.org." But there's a purpose to all of the pink madness you see around

Krewe du YaYas / photo by Bradley Walborn When you're in the Krewe du YaYas, it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month all year long. "A bunch of our founding sisters wanted to create some sort of sisterhood that gives back," said Jacqui O'Connell, president and one of the six remaining members of the original krewe. Now in its 11th year, the Krewe du YaYas has been raising funds and awareness in the Pensacola area at events year-round. From the annual Making Strides walk to Relay for Life to, yes, Mardi Gras, the 150 krewe members have been turning the town pink and having fun while doing it. "The pink wigs and tiaras have become our trademark," O'Connell said. "There is a whole section of YaYa clothing in my closet along with the bling that goes with it. We have a lot of fun when we are out in the community." While events do a good job of turning heads and raising awareness, the krewe also provides an important service to men and women in need. In 2010, the krewe's charity Keeping Abreast Foundation officially became a 501(c)3 non-profit.
Through funds raised and partnerships with The Women's Group and Angel Williamson, Krewe du YaYa provides mammograms to women and men who can't afford them. The krewe also shows their support to the community by assisting with the purchases of wigs and mastectomy bras, medications, and supporting families in crisis. "A lot of people fall through the cracks, those who don't have insurance, but perhaps make too much money to require assistance," O'Connell explained. The krewe has actually assisted a male with funding for a mammogram in the past. On top of that, they've recently begun working with breast cancer patients and their families through their grant assistance program to help offset the costly bill of a cancer diagnosis. "All of the money we raise goes toward our fund," O'Connell said. "It's rewarding to see your money spent well." The choice to dedicate time and money toward breast cancer awareness was a personal one for O'Connell. Her mother, a breast cancer survivor, passed away in 2007 after battling lung cancer.

"They're everything to me," O'Connell "Even if you're not a survivor, everyone said of her fellow krewe. "When you share has some sort of connection to breast a passion, it's a really special thing." {in} cancer," she said. O'Connell was in her 30s when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Knowing her family history, O'Connell took the necessary precautions and began getting mammograms 10 years earlier than the recommended age of 40. "I had to go through a million hoops to get it approved," she said. "It's important to know my mammogram is covered. To this day it's my most dreaded appointment." In the Krewe du YaYas early years, membership was capped at 125 before moving to its current size of 150 women.

as the reasons that I became involved in the first place," O'Connell said. "Some of these women have become my very best friends here and hold a very special place in my heart." The women also extend that bond to their families, often recruiting husbands and children to participate and help at events. "A lot of husbands play in the One Stroke Closer to a Cure golf tournament — I know I wouldn't forgive my husband if he didn't play," O'Connell joked. "And my entire family is training for the I Pink I Can Run in February." While helping others is the heart and soul of the Krewe du YaYas, sharing the experiences is what keeps members returning every year.

A Barktastic Saturday by Sarah McCartan
It’s now officially time for you and your four-legged friend to get excited for a full, fall festive day of outdoor fun—with not only one but two Barktastic events taking place in downtown Pensacola, Saturday, Oct. 26. Thanks to the support of the local organizations and vendors involved, all proceeds from this dog-centered Saturday go to benefit Pensacola Humane Society (formerly Humane Society of Pensacola), and the animals on-site at this no-kill shelter and adoption center who have yet to find their forever homes. Barktoberfest may have been rescheduled due to an elusive stormy lady by the name of Karen, but if anything, it has just allowed more time for the weather to cool down and the puppy troops to rally. But first things first. Thanks to the rain delay, Barktoberfest is now taking place immediately following “A Walk on the Barkfront,” an event sponsored by Jaco’s Bayfront Bar and Grille and Veterinary Emergency Referral Center. Pets are encouraged to come dressed in costume to attend this one mile walk that begins and ends at Plaza De Luna. The route remains south of Main Street and for added safety will be closed off from traffic. While the walk will not be a timed race, there will be an element of competition, that is, prizes for best pet/owner look alike, best pet costume, largest and smallest dog, and more. There is an entry fee of $25 for each individual attendee with a pup in tow. Additional donations to Pensacola Humane Society beyond the registration amount can be made at the time of registration. October 24, 2013
Rather than receiving a t-shirt like in typical walk/runs of the human kind, all participants get to go home with a new leash for their participating pet. The walk begins at 8 a.m. allowing you and your pooch plenty of time to cool down before event number two kicks off—Barktoberfest. Following the walk, you and your pup are cordially invited to make your way just up the street and around the corner to Seville Square and Fountain Park. Currently in its 12th year, Barktoberfest serves as Pensacola Humane Society’s largest fundraising event. “The best part is seeing all the people have a fun day with their dog. You don’t get to do that too often at the festivals downtown,” said Sarah Humlie, director of Pensacola Humane Society. Despite the delay, Humlie affirms that the show will continue to go on—in full force. “There is a lot of fun stuff still happening,” she said. “Ninety percent of the vendors and rescues are still able to attend the re-scheduled date.” Speaking of vendors, “There will be animal-focused vendors such as doggy clothes, accessories and treats. And there will be people-focused vendors as well—including food, jewelers and other craft vendors that come out,” she said. One of the local pup-focused vendors that will be onsite at both events is The Spotted Dog Pet Boutique and Bakery. Rather than setting up in their typical Palafox Market spot, The Spotted Dog will have their specialty gourmet pet treats available for purchase throughout the day. This even includes seasonal treats—packs of Halloween-themed cookies with pumpkins, cats, ghosts and more. “We’re also donating some of our cookies to the walk,” said co-owner, Sandy Dickerson. On top of that, The Spotted Dog will have a special selection of merchandise for sale, including costumes. “We’re trying to do something a little bit different,” said Dickerson. In addition to costumes, and festive Halloween pet toys—such as pumpkins, Dickerson will be bringing along sweaters and some Kane & Couture customizable bedazzled collars and leash/harness combinations. This particular line can be customized for your pet right on the spot.
Although both Barktastic events are tailored toward individuals and their pooches, there will be plenty of adoptable dogs at Barktoberfest, making this the perfect opportunity not only to make a furry friend at the park, but
The new name isn’t the only change the organization has undergone as of late. This month marks the unveiling of an entire new look—all part of local agency idgroup’s Brand on Us Project. Pensacola Humane Society is the first recipient of $100,000 in idgroup services, plus approximately $75,000 in services from local business partners. Be on the lookout for ads, billboards as well as their new website that serves as both a resource and adoptable pet registry, now live on the web at pensacolahumane.org. Along with giveaway items boasting the new logo, Pensacola Humane Society will have specialty items available for purchase at Barktoberfest. You will definitely want to go home with a Barktoberfest T-shirt designed by cartoonist Andy Marlette. And don’t forget the latest Pensacola Humane Society calendar featuring the winners of the recent pet photo contest. Of course there will be plenty of water on hand throughout the day in the form of bowls, buckets and pools, to make sure the pups stay cool and hydrated. And ample baggies will be present for owners to pick up after their pets. For both events, to keep things safe and friendly, all pets must be on leashes. And owners are asked to watch after their pets at all times. {in}

to take him or her home with you as a lifelong companion. “We'll have lots of adoptable dogs on site, and we're hopeful they'll all find new homes that day,” said Humlie. “It's our goal to ensure that every dog and cat in Pensacola has a home. With the help and support of the community, I really believe we can achieve that goal in the near future.” Other area non-profits and rescue groups, including breed-specific groups, will be bringing animals to the event for adoption—everything from Dachshunds to Great Danes, poodles, Scottish Terriers and beyond. “We’ve had a few more rescue groups be able to join on the new date who weren’t able to make it on the original date, like the Pug Rescue,” said Humlie.

A WALK ON THE BARKFRONT
BARKTOBERFEST

DRESSED UP PUPS
While you are encouraged to keep your pooch dressed up for the entirety of the day’s events, beginning with “A Walk on the Barkfront,” the first set of Barktoberfest contests you’ll want to have your pup in costume for kicks off at 10 a.m., and the next set happens at 2 p.m. Much like the Barkfront contests, these signature contests include best costume, and an owner/ pet, look-alike showdown, in addition to contests for best trick, best kisser, and more. Didn’t plan ahead in time to deck your pup out in festive garb? Not to fear. You can always swing by The Spotted Dog Pet Boutique and Bakery located on Palafox prior to Saturday, or select from costumes they will have on display at the events. Costumes are made to fit a variety of breeds and sizes of dogs and include the following: mermaid, crawfish, panda, angel, school dog—a puppy spin on a school girl outfit, and even the king himself—Elvis. If you’re in the creative spirit, there’s still time left for some last minute Do It Yourself (DIY) costuming for your pup, yourself—or both.
Princess Pooch: Tutus and tiaras are a simple way to dress up a pooch in princess fashion. You can even make your own tutu if you feel like getting a bit creative with tulle. Warning: This look is only for those pooches who have the attitude to match the image. Career-Driven Hound: Be
it a Stethoscope or a fireman’s hat, this is the chance to let your hound live out his or her dream job for a day, although you may have to get a bit creative to ensure your pet won’t decide to ditch the props, or so a hat doesn’t become a nuisance or serve as a vision blocker.
The Foodie Dog: Who doesn’t want
to make their pup deliciously appetizing? Why not turn your canine into a bowl of spaghetti with the simple repurposing of a mop, or a t-shirt cut into strips for the noodles. To affix the mop, t-shirt strips or other noodle-like threads to your pup, glue to a puppy-size fitted shirt or harness. Just be sure the dangling noodles don’t hinder your pet’s walking abilities. For the meatballs, try spray-painting Styrofoam balls, or using large colored puffballs. And Voila! Just be sure to keep your pet away from larger canines with hungry stomachs.

A Solid, Spooky Schedule of Events by Jessica Forbes
Pensacola Lighthouse With Halloween being on a Thursday this year, you may be a little confused as to when your favorite parties and events are taking place. You may be wondering what all the ghost tours making their way around town are all about. We at the IN were, so we compiled a list of favorite festivities and several more activities that sound like they’d be worth a try. Between Pensacola and Milton, there is a Halloween activity for people of all ages planned somewhere. So have no fear, at least not regarding your activity schedule. Whether you want to be frightened, party, or find a suitable activity for a kid or scaredy-cat adult, there is something around that will fit the bill.
HAUNTED TOURING
From make-believe haunted houses designed solely to scare to historic buildings linked to tales of actual hauntings, Pensacola and the surrounding area has plenty of places to catch a fright this Halloween. With a history that includes Native Americans, European explorers, soldiers, pirates, sailors, and more, the folklore of Pensacola contains its fair share of hauntings and tormented spirits. By foot, by trolley, or even by Segway, there are more ways than ever to explore the favorite haunts of the city’s ghosts. And if Downtown doesn’t hold enough fright for you, the Pensacola Lighthouse and haunted houses and hayrides in Milton provide even more venues for scary fun. The most difficult part—aside from shaking off the fear before bedtime—may be choosing an adventure from all the spook-tacular options. ‘A GRAVE OCCASION’ HALLOWEEN TOURS ON THE BLOOD RED TROLLEY WHAT: The Red Trolley Repertory Theatre, the group behind Winterfest, produces this family-friendly tour designed to entertain with music and more light-hearted story telling.

PARTY SPIRITS
Have a great costume idea? Looking to get your drink on via a number of reasonably priced drink specials? If you answered yes to one or both of those questions then downtown Pensacola’s party establishments have you covered this Halloween season. For the best costume, Play is offering Weekend and VIP passes to Pensacon 2014 while Emerald City and Seville Quarter are both offering up to a $1,000 grand prize for the winner of their respective costume contests. Sluggo’s is in on the game, too, with costume contests during extensive live music schedules on both Halloween and the following Saturday. Throw in an extra night of The Fish House’s regular Ladies Night event and a Sunday party for Bar and Restaurant Employees at Seville, and pretty much everyone has an occasion to don a costume—and grab a shot of Fireball—at least once. inweekly.net

Talk It Out by Sarah McCartan
The best way to arrive at sustainable solutions is to have a few snacks and refreshments, sit down, get comfortable and talk it out—at least that is what local non-profit group Think Beyond suggests. This idea acts as the driver for their community-centered quarterly dialogues. Think Beyond invites all members of the community who are interested in idea-generating conversations to join in and share their individual perspectives with the common goal of creating a more sustainable Pensacola. “Our goal is to bring innovative ideas to a forum where people can have meaningful conversations,” explained Mona Amodeo, Think Beyond chair. “We want to connect, inspire and engage people in our community.” Their next Quarterly Community Dialogue takes place Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Pensacola Museum of Art. This evening’s subject of conversation is centered on the notion of “Food as Fuel for Change.” “This Community Dialogue is focused on a topic that many are talking about today—food. When we looked at how to bring this topic to the dialogue, the board brainstormed people and programs that we thought offered innovative ideas to using food as ‘fuel for change.’ We think they have something important to say,” Amodeo said. The evening will include roundtable discussions along with three special guest speakers, each of whom are heavily involved in the local food movement in a
unique capacity and have been invited to share their insights. Hilary M. Gilles, manager of Palafox Market in Downtown Pensacola, will be sharing her experience with the market, its growth and the impact it is having on life, food and change for Pensacola. “The Palafox Market, now in its sixth season, has become an integral part of the community and vice versa,” said Gilles. “Our customers rely on the market for local produce and fresh foods and the market vendors have grown and continue to expand their offerings due to the demand from the local community. It really is a win-win situation.”
“Through these conversations we hope to contribute to making our community a healthy, vibrant place, today and for future generations.” Mona Amodeo
gardens can act as integral community foundations, as well as bringing to light issues in food politics and policy—including the debate surrounding labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms. “I'll be talking about Pensacola’s growing local food movement with an emphasis on topics such as food security, food sovereignty, and community gardening,” said Tomso. “I firmly believe that, in this day and age, gardening is a political act. I’ll also be talking about how students at UWF are undertaking food-related research projects in our community.” Another community garden guru, Judge Casey Rodgers, will be bringing her expertise to the table. Judge Rodgers is the Chief Judge for the United States District Court and founder of ReEnty Alliance Pensacola, an innovative federal program that joins mentor attorneys with former prisoners as they work together on community gardens. “Ultimately, we want to shine a light on people who are making a difference through what they are doing or have ideas about what they would like to do,” said Amodeo. “Through these conversations we hope to contribute to making our community a healthy, vibrant place, today and for future generations.” {in}
On top of his role as the Associate Director of the University of West Florida Honors program, Dr. Greg Tomso is the faculty sponsor of the Student Community Garden Club, where he remains actively involved in the university’s garden projects. The garden currently has over 1000 square feet of growing space, all of which has WHEN: 5:30 – 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24 recently been planted for the WHERE: Pensacola Museum of Art, 407 S. fall season.

Champions on Ice by Jessica Forbes
Season openers are always a special event for sports fans, but for the Ice Flyers’ faithful, this year there promises to be even more excitement in the air at the Pensacola Bay Center. As the reigning Southern Professional Hockey League Champions, the Ice Flyers will open their 2013-2014 season this Friday against the Columbus Cottonmouths with a new title, a new coach, and a host of new game time activities. “We actually start planning for the next season in June as we are putting together the schedule with the league,” said Pensacola Ice Flyers President Chuck McCartney. “Opening night this year has

In addition to the Championship Celebration, the Pensacola Ice Flyers staff will roll out several other new and/or improved aspects of the fan experience that will be part of the 28 regular season games scheduled this season. “We have always put on a great show but we wanted to take it to the next level,” McCartney said regarding this season’s

Best Coast – ‘FADE AWAY’ and Sleigh Bells – ‘BITTER RIVALS’
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the one trick pony show. On the one hand, we have the cutesy, pseudo-punk of California’s Best Coast, and on the other the hip hop infused guitar shredding of New York’s Sleigh Bells. Both have now produced three albums, and in all honesty, the sheen is wearing off. At one point, these two were among the brightest newcomers in the game, riding the wave of the class of 2010 with the likes of the Drums, Wavves, Fang Island, First Aid Kit and Local Natives. In fairness, Best Coast and Sleigh Bells have a leg up on Wavves and Local Natives as far as the quantity of product they have released. It’s possible that when the latter two release their third full lengths, the appeal will have worn off as well, but they are not the ones on trial here.

I can’t say that I have never enjoyed Sleigh Bells, or that I don’t still dig their debut “Treats” or bits and pieces of their sophomore album, “Reign of Terror.” The Brooklyn duo developed a niche with their combination of heavy guitar edges, dance hooks, and Alexis Krauss’ seductive vocals. However, with the release of third long player, “Bitter Rivals,” what was effervescent on “Treats” and still interesting on “Reign of Terror” is now decidedly becoming old hat. The album opens with the lyrics, “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. I had to kill the new sheriff in town,” which are performed in a rappish-spoken style. After banging my head on my desk for a solid five minutes, I lit a candle to the ghost of Charles Dickens to absolve my guilt. I only listened to the album once, and while there are catchy portions, it’s 30 minutes of my life that I’ll never get back.

Best Coast are a different kind of monster altogether. The L.A. duo’s music is breezy, catchy, and generally pretty easy to vibe with. However, when I listen to their catalog, including new mini-album “Fade Away,” all I can think is that they have written one really long song and just continue stretching it out across albums. Coming up just two minutes shorter than Sleigh Bells’ effort, “Fade Away” didn’t make me feel nearly as guilty for listening, as it is
still smart pop music. My problem isn’t the content as much as the direction. There isn’t one. The music isn’t going anywhere, and that’s okay for them, it will just make me tune out. I will still recommend Best Coast to anyone who wants a soundtrack to a Sunday drive. If this review didn’t completely turn you off, “Bitter Rivals” is out now via Mom & Pop Records, and “Fade Away” is also out now via Jewel City Records. {in}

PYP IS PLANNING SOMETHING “BIG” The community has come to know Pensacola Young Professionals as a civic leader and a helping hand with the issues that matter most in our beautiful city. In 2013, Pensacola Young Professionals took an interest in helping the children that are in need throughout our area. On November 16, 2013, from 10am to 2pm in Seville Square, PYP will be hosting an event for the”Bigs” and “Littles” from Big Brothers Big Sisters and for the children currently seeking adoption through the Families First Network. This event will give participants from both organizations an opportunity to interact and build and strengthen their bonds. Growing up, we all enjoyed Field Day at school; even as adults, we love those field-day games, and so it was no surprise we selected this as the theme. Our Field Day will feature games such as tug of war, three-legged races, sack races, and an egg toss. There will be a total of 13 games as well as a bounce house, face painting, arts and crafts section, and a photo booth. Of course, food will be provided! I am sure everyone will be working up an appetite! We have partnered with local restaurants to provide food for everyone in attendance. Pensacola Young Professionals could not be more excited about this day and we hope to make this an annual event. We understand the needs of the children in our community and how important they are to the future of Pensacola! If you have any questions regarding this event, or would like to volunteer, please contact PYP’s Quality of Life chair Crystal Barrett at barrcr@penair.org.

NOW OPEN Space Ad Agent Collateral Created: 8/28/13 for Florida Blue Rev. 9/12/13 Agent3:Collateral
news of the weird IMMINENT SWIRLING VORTEX OF DAMNATION Land developers for the iconic Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colo. (famous as the inspiration for the hotel in Stephen King's "The Shining") announced recently that they need more space and thus will dig up and move the hotel's 12-gravesite pet cemetery. Neighbors told the Fort Collins Coloradoan in September that they feared the construction noise, but somehow ignored the potential release of departed spirits (though an "Animal Planet" "dog psychic" who lives in Estes Park seemed to volunteer her services to calm the pets' souls). THE WAR AGAINST "DOING THE RIGHT THING" Teach Our Children Well: (1) Officials at Milford Haven School in Pembrokeshire county, Wales, punished Rhys Johnson, 14, in October for violating the dress code against shaved heads. He was helping raise money for an anti-cancer charity after a third relative of his contracted the illness. (2) North Andover (Mass.) High School punished honor student and volleyball captain Erin Cox in October for giving a drunk classmate a ride home. Cox was clean-and-sober, but violated the school's "zero tolerance" attitude toward alcohol users (even though more student drunk-driving might result if sober friends feared school punishment). • Walter Dixon knew that he was about to be relocated in December 2012 from a Joliet, Ill., correctional facility to begin serving a new federal drug conspiracy sentence, but instead, state officials mistakenly freed him. Dixon protested, but said he was aggressively dismissed from the premises. It was not until September that he was finally re-arrested and began his new sentence. (Dixon was easily located because, though free, he had met regularly with his parole officer and was taking several vocational courses.) ADVICE OF COUNSEL After consulting with a lawyer, Evan Dobelle, president of Massachusetts' Westfield State University, accused of billing the state for unauthorized travel expenses, is reportedly considering claiming that he actually "self-reported" the violations as soon as suspicions turned up. Dobelle says

COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS Perfect Sense: A 77-year-old motorist told police in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, that he was going the wrong way on the Takamatsu Expressway only because he had missed his exit 1 km back and thought it best just to turn the car around and retrace the path back to the ramp. Police said his short September jaunt had caused a collision, not affecting the man's own car.
