Watson's shot in the opening round of The Greenbrier Classic 2017 received the most votes, earning a million dollars for charities. The other $500,000 portion of the prize will go to support junior golf. OLLIE TAYLOR The mayor of Shreveport

HALLMARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

The city of Pensacola lost another piece of its history in August with the commencement of demolition of the elementary school built in 1928. The Escambia County School Board closed Hallmark in 2011. The school was sold two years later for $1 million to 349 LLC, which flipped it to Dallas-based homebuilder D.R. Horton for $1.65 million. The historic school will be replaced with 76 townhomes.

TRIUMPH GULF COAST The three words have become magical. Say them, and any project is possible. In the past few weeks, we've heard Triumph Gulf Coast mentioned as a possible funding source for a marine research facility at the Port of Pensacola, a new sports arena to replace the Pensacola Bay Center, a downtown UWF campus, and recreational facilities at the hatchery. The list of possibilities grows daily. Thank goodness, Don Gaetz sits on the board and will rein in this foolishness. TOURIST DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES

House Speaker Richard Corcoran wants a dozen local tourist-development councils that have broken ties with Visit Florida, including the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office, to outline how they spend tax dollars. Corcoran sent a letter on Aug. 25 to the councils describing the cutting ties as an "attempt to shield financial information from public scrutiny required by the transparency and accountability provisions of House Bill 1A." He added that they were "sadly mistaken" if they thought they could "hide from transparency."

SLIPPED THROUGH HIS GRASP Inweekly could not have been prouder of Mayor Ashton Hayward when he took a strong stance against racism and discrimination three days after the violence in Charlottesville, Va. "Together with mayors from across the country, and on behalf of the citizens of Pensacola, I am reiterating my unequivocal belief that hate and bigotry have no place in America," said Hayward in a written statement sent to the newspaper. We were gratified even more the next day when the mayor and Councilman Larry Johnson spoke out for the removal of the "Our Confederate Dead" monument in Lee Square. Their statements were bold and courageous. Hayward and Johnson were in unique positions to make it happen. They had the power and influence to guide the removal through the process established by the council. There was pushback and we offered suggestions. I interviewed Dr. Michael Butler, who wrote a book about the integration of Pensacola in 1960-1980. He recommended that public meetings were needed to help the community talk through the issues of slavery, Civil War, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era and integration. Mayor Hayward stopped holding town hall meetings in December 2013. He's uncomfortable when confronted by opposing viewpoints. However, I put out that idea because the mayor could bring in someone

to facilitate such a meeting. He would have to attend and respond, but the meeting could help heal the community. It soon became clear that Hayward and Johnson didn't have a plan. Both talked about putting it in a museum somewhere but gave no details. I contacted Commissioner Grover Robinson, who suggested Fort Barrancas as an appropriate home for the monument. Confederate soldiers controlled the fort during the first year of the war, he said. St. John's Cemetery has 80 CSA veterans interred, including three generals. Its board sent a letter to the mayor offering to place the "Our Confederate Dead" monument on its grounds. The reaction on Facebook to the proposal was very positive. Pensacola's strong mayor had several options before him. He had an excellent opportunity to lead his community through a discussion that would have received national attention and maybe create a road map for how other cities should deal with their Confederate pasts. Instead, Hayward passed the issue to the city council, telling his supporters privately that it was "too hot" to handle. Council President Brian Spencer then announced he would have the council discuss at its Sept. 14 meeting whether it wants to hold a meeting on the monument. In other words, they will meet to discuss if they want to meet. Sigh. {in} rick@inweekly.net

DRAINING THE TALLAHASSEE SWAMP

Bob White / Courtesy Photo

By Duwayne Escobedo The way Bob White sees it, the state government in Florida has become a "swamp." Politicians, lobbyists and big business control Tallahassee and the everyday, taxpaying citizen has no voice. That's why the 60-year-old White announced at the end of May at the Republican Liberty Caucus in Orlando that he would run for governor. Currently, 18 candidates are seeking to replace Rick Scott in the 2018 election. The pool cleaning company owner from Melbourne wants to become the "people's champion." White kicked off his campaign in Northwest Florida and sat down with Inweekly to discuss his bid. He admitted he's an outsider fighting against the political establishment. "Tallahassee literally has become a swamp," White told the Inweekly. "Just like Washington has, there's a political class that exists in Tallahassee. It's the politi-

cians. It's the lobbyists, and it's the special interests that the lobbyists represent. And they are only listening to each other. It's like a big echo chamber up there. The people of Florida have lost their voice." As the chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida, founder, former chairman of the Liberty Catalyst Fund and instrumental in creating the Come Clean Florida coalition, White has fought to reform state government for years. Running for office for the first time, he chose to run for the state's highest office because that's where he said he could make the biggest impact for the citizens of Florida and his own growing family. "I've seen the way Tallahassee operates, and I'm pretty turned off and disgusted by it," White said. "I've got a wife and three children and four grandchildren and, hopefully, more on the way." He continued, "I want to do whatever I can to make sure that Florida remains the kind of a place where my grandchildren can grow up and have the same kind of opportunities that I did. I've got to do something about it, so that prompted me to get involved in Tallahassee."

"I've seen the way Tallahassee operates, and I'm pretty turned off and disgusted by it." Bob White White is a fourth-generation Floridian from a small town in Polk County. A product of public schools he graduated with a University of Florida business administration degree. Growing up in the heart of the Florida citrus industry, he recalls picking fruit,

pruning trees, and moving irrigation pipe before and after school as a teenager. "We even worked ‘firing' the groves when the temperatures dropped below freezing," White said. White said he remembers family reunions at Silver Lake, near Palatka, and his grandparent's home in Okeechobee. This upbringing left him with admiration for everyday, hard working people. He said Tallahassee has a "much too powerful political class" where "it's their will be done, not yours." White chafes at being told he should seek another political office, not the most powerful one in the fourth largest state in America. "People say, ‘Well, you ought to start out at some other level first,'" White said. "‘You've never held political office before in your life. What makes you think you're qualified to be governor? And why not do one of those other opportunities first?'" White is running for governor because he wants to make the biggest possible impact in Tallahassee. He said, "When we looked at this race, we thought that this is an opportunity not just to run for governor, but also to raise awareness on these issues that are so important that nobody else in this race wants to talk about." White said, for example, for seven years he has fought to eliminate red light cameras in Florida, which he said have nothing to do with safety. However, American Traffic Solutions, an Arizona company, pouring "millions" into political parties and committees to prevent the state from banning red light cameras at intersections. "They keep introducing the bill with no real intention of passing it to keep the money flowing," White said, "So, if we can raise awareness as to that issue and the way that the special interests are controlling the process through their unlimited contributions and political committees, then that's going to be a win whether we win the governor's race or not."

He added, "We'll focus attention on that issue and the corruption that exists and how we need to clean it up and try to transform it back the way it ought to be." The Liberty Caucus, which White chairs in Florida, exists in 44 of 50 states and is part of the Republican Party. White said it currently counts more than 1,500 people in the Florida chapter. "We've always been considered to be the conscience of the Republican Party," White said. "What created us in the first place was to try to say, ‘Hey, you know what? There's a drift in the Republican Party away from those Jeffersonian principles of free markets and free people and limited government.'" White said he would like to see Common Core eliminated. Additionally, he opposes an over reliance on "high-stakes testing" that determine teacher's salaries and bonuses. He would like to strengthen workforce education initiatives that he said current lawmakers have failed to address fully. "What if you're not college bound? How do we prepare you to succeed in life?" White asked. "They're just as important as anybody else's kids, and their needs have to be addressed." White said being an outsider is an advantage and expressed confidence that he can earn 23-25 percent of the vote in the crowded primary election and sneak into the general election. "So, you want a guy that's going to drain the swamp and have your back? I'm your guy," White says. "That's part of the strategy as we go around the state." He promised to return to Pensacola, Milton, and Fort Walton Beach in September and said the area reminded him of where he grew up. Voters in the region, a conservative stronghold, dislike being taken for granted by Republican political candidates. "It's been great to be here, and I'm going to be back," White said. "So, don't think that Bob White's going to be a candidate that's going to forget you Northwest Florida." {in}

PROTEST SATURDAY Thankfully Pensacola didn't become the next Charlottesville this past Saturday. The pro monument protest and simultaneous counter protest were pretty tame on both sides. The demonstrations drew a crowd of approximately 300 people. Initially, the media was told only one arrest was made at the protest. According to the Pensacola Police Department “24-year-old Caleb Burris was charged with battery after he knocked a megaphone out of another person’s hand.” Burris gave law enforcement Denton, Texas as his address. Police on Monday said that a second man had been arrested for suspicion of battery— Alonzo Hick, 79, of Pensacola. Another, more low-key protest also took place just down the street from Lee Circle later Saturday morning. Local members of the League of Women Voters celebrated Women's Equality Day with a silent demonstration on the corner of Palafox and Garden Streets. In addition to signs, the women made a strong visual impact by dressing up in red capes and bonnets. The costumes, of course, are a nod to the popular dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood and recent Hulu hit "The Handmaid's Tale." LATEST ON NEW ARENA Pensacola

hotelier and developer Jay Patel is seeking private and public investors to build a new sports complex. Patel said the concept, which he has presented to Escambia County board members, has existed for awhile and is not tied to luring the New Orleans Pelicans developmental league team to Pensacola. Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward gave a 88

pitch to the NBA selection team to host the club. Shreveport and Pensacola are reportedly the only two cities in the running. When contacted by the Inweekly, Patel said he could not reveal details yet about the plan, such as what it looks like, where it would be located, the economic benefits, the types of jobs it would create, the funding, etc. He asked the Inweekly to wait a few weeks, and the plan would be revealed to everyone at an Escambia County board meeting. "Commissioners were optimistic," Patel said. "They liked what they saw. But I have to make sure everybody is on board. There are so many people. This is a big project." Patel said he isn't seeking a handout from the county to pay for the sports complex. "There is a lot of outside private funding. It is not about the county being on the hook," Patel said. He congratulated the city of Shreveport for its plan to build a $125 million arena specifically to accommodate the Pelicans. Many top corporations and community leaders have signed off on the project, and the city has the land and plans to begin building it. "If Shreveport wants to go out and build something just for the Pelicans, I respect them for that," Patel said. "I wish them well. Our project is not dependent on the Pelicans. We've worked on this thing for the last 18 months. It really has nothing to do with them." Patel, though, said the proposed Pensacola sports complex could handle the Pelicans D-League team if the professional basketball executives decided to play here in the future. "(Shreveport) is luring them," Patel said. "We are not. If we move forward successfully and the county blesses this project, of course, we would love to have them."

FOCUS ON SCI TOWER Quint and Rishy Studer closed last week on the SunTrust Tower at 220 Garden St. The building, which was built in 1974, will become the home of Studer Community Institute. Studer told Inweekly, "We've got the Greenhut Construction and Bear Construction as the contractors. We've got Caldwell and Associates as architects, and then we've hired Ed Carson as our owner's rep. We're ready to go." He said that more parking might be needed, which would be added on the site of the former bank's drive-thru area. "We want to add additional parking there because probably in the next month or two, if things work out right, they'll be an announcement of an additional building that will go on the empty parking lot where Bank of America is, which will be very exciting," he said.

On Sept. 19, the Studer Community Institute will host a series of focus groups on the renovations and new design. "We're going to bring people through the four areas that we're looking to develop as a place for people to come that have ideas, looking for solutions, looking for building their businesses, and so on," said Studer. "That's going to be the first and third floor of the triangle, the lobby, the plaza. People are going to rotate through four different areas over a two-hour period. We have moderators at each one. Giving us sort of ideas on what furniture they think works there, what technology works there, what lighting works there." To participate in the focus groups, email Studer at quint@quintstuder.com.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK Bishop Bill Wack's brother Neil is also a Catholic priest. At his ordination, Bishop Wack joked that when he received the phone call to become the bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, he asked the caller, "Are you sure you have the right Father Wack?" 'AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THIS' On

Aug. 16, The National Movement for Civil and Human Rights sent a letter to President Donald Trump demanding that "he give rise to moral leadership and issue a clear, unequivocal position on civil rights and his personal opposition to white supremacist organization." The organization comprised of clergy and civil rights veterans fear the President's comments about Charlottesville have emboldened the white supremacists. "When we see leaders of white supremacist organizations and the white nationalist movement publicly thanking the President for his misguided statements concerning the murder of peach activist Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Va. we cannot remain silent," said Dexter Wimbish, General Counsel. "The President's words cast a dark shadow upon this great land and remind us that we must remain forever vigilant against the scourge of racism and hatred," he added. "America is better than this." The National Movement for Civil and Human Rights recommended that President Trump submit a formal statement denouncing the support of white supremacists to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, terminate all White House staff with ties to the Alt-Right movement, and fully fund the $9.183 million budget request of the Commission on Civil Rights. In April 2004, then-President Ronald Reagan sent a letter to Morris Abram, chairman of the commission regarding the Ku Klux Klan. Reagan wrote, "Democrats and Repub-

licans alike must be resolute in disassociating ourselves from any group or individual whose political philosophy consists only of racial or religious intolerance, whose arguments are supported only by intimidation or threats of violence."

WHICH SIDE? Loyal reader W.L. Stafford

of Pensacola responded to our cover story on the Confederate monument in Lee Square ("Which Side Are You On?") with this letter: "To answer the question asked, I am on the right side. "The side that promotes and tells the truth, follows the rule of law, abstains from violence, uses the past as a guide for the future, realizes our American History is beautiful and ugly in the same breath and above all to allow a forum without blame. Paid provocateurs are as whores, willing to do whatever if the price is right. "My ancestors fought in the American Revolutionary War, The War of Northern Aggression/American Civil War most were from North Carolina and this area of Northwest Florida. My ancestors did not own the first slave/black man, woman or child. My people were slaves to the land and area they lived in just to survive as farmers, loggers, hunters, trappers and making a little whiskey. "I owe no man nor group an apology. Just as no one can pick their parents nor their ancestors...it is what it is! The past is just that, the present is from God and the future is unknown but will become the present, and hopefully the past will offer direction to be right. "A statue or memorial erected 100 years plus ago should be no more offensive than one erected within the last 50 years for individuals seeking civil and legal equality. "Revisionists of history seek to rewrite events to fit their agenda. Once again, the provocateurs/agitators/protestors are willing to do whatever to satisfy those paying for their services. This applies to both sides of the issue, not just the liberal left. "A term 'yellow journalism' has fallen out of use, yet William Randolph Hearst created inaccurate/false information so widely published the United States declared war on Spain for the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana, Cuba's harbor. Only later it was discovered to be an internal explosion of coal dust with the coal bins located next to the ship's gun cotton magazine storage areas. The ship's steel plates were blown outward, not inward from a suspected mine as reported by the Hearst papers and wire services. "To all, tell, broadcast or print the truth. History and human nature will eventually disclose the truth; time is relentless. Truth and inweekly.net

honesty are as pregnancy...you either are, or you're not. I'm on the right side of truth, being honest and forthright." –W.L. Stafford

COVER STORY KUDOS Rory Fleming of the

Fair Punishment Project at Harvard Law School sent an email praising our Aug. 17 article, "Straight Outta Options." "Thanks for your excellent work at Inweekly, including your new piece about Escambia County jail costs," wrote Fleming. Peter Miller compliments C.S. Satterwhite for his 8/24 in-depth article on the Confederate Monument in Lee square, "Which Side Are You On?" "I saw your article regarding the Lee Monument and thought, what a well-written bit of journalism. Your piece is really well done and reflects a lot of research and investigation," he wrote. "I have no idea where the monument debate will go, but at least there is now some history and background to help people better understand the argument."

MEET TO MEET ON MONUMENT Pen-

sacola City Councilman Brian Spencer has responded to Mayor Ashton Hayward's recommendation to hold a workshop for public input on the possible removal of the Confederate Monument in Lee Square. In a press release issued late Thursday afternoon, Spencer said he was placing a discussion item on the agenda for the Sept. 14 city council meeting to review the city policy that governs the monument on city property. In the accompanying attachments, the council president further clarified the discussion would be "to determine public input and select a date(s) for one or more Special Council Meetings allowing for public input regarding any proposal." "This discussion item is not intended for the discussion of the merits of any proposal, rather to determine Council's desire for a Special Council Meeting(s) allowing for public input and selection of date(s) for this meeting(s)," added Spencer. "At any Special Council Meeting scheduled, the merits of any proposals will be discussed." Spencer's announcement came one week after Mayor Hayward and Councilman Larry Johnson declared they would like to have the monument removed. Johnson suggested the 50 ft. memorial to dead Confederate soldiers be placed in a museum. "I do not believe that the monument belongs in a public park overlooking our downtown," said Johnson. "I absolutely support the mayor in his plans to remove the monument and hope that it can be moved to a museum or other appropriate location where it can be placed in the proper context." August 31, 2017

ADDITION BY ADDITION Congressman

Matt Gaetz discussed the debate of Confederate monuments with Inweekly publisher Rick Outzen on "Pensacola Speaks." "We can't take bleach to American history. I mean, where does it stop?" he said. "We have had Democrats calling recently for us to stop maintaining the Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument because these folks were slave owners." He pointed out that America has a very complex history from the Native Americans all the way to present day. "Rather than trying to bleach and whitewash that history, we should try to learn from it," said Gaetz. "Let's try to understand the fact that these were dynamic conflicts that put families against other families and inspired different things in different people." For him, “our progress forward and how we deal with racial strife and ethnic strife” should guide the measure of the nation’s progress. He believes that we undermine the argument that the U.S. is the beacon of hope for the rest of the world when violence is seen as an acceptable political tool. But what we've got to see is that we are a model to the rest of the world and that as a country we're trying to be a beacon of hope for inclusive values, according to Gaetz. "We can't go through and pretend history didn't happen," he said. "That's what makes us more likely to repeat it." When asked about the pre-Civil Rights era effort to eliminate black faces and voices from Southern history, Gaetz said, "Whenever we can put history in a richer context I think we learn a lot more from that. As a society, can we do more to sort of lift up some of the voices and stories that might not have gotten told or that still need to be discovered? Absolutely." He added, "But I think that you have addition by addition, not by subtraction. Bringing our complex history as a country into that a rich, full context is to everyone's benefit."

It's hard to be unique on social media. It's even harder when you're a blogger who's trying to stand out in a crowded field like tech or health and fitness. That task goes from hard to almost impossible when you're trying to carve out a niche from a town like Pensacola that isn't exactly known for its creative online community. August 31, 2017

But if you're willing to keep scrolling and look beyond the sea of beach photos, you'll find some locals with serious talent who are making a name (and in some cases a job) for themselves online. For this issue, we wanted to highlight a select few of those social media influencers who are making Pensacola proud by producing great

content and reaching audiences well beyond the Gulf Coast. Some are local-centric like Instagrammer James Moore and Mayor Hayward and his social media team. Both of those accounts regularly showcase our city in unique and double-tap worthy ways. Others are just great blogs that happen to be produced by locals, like

Jasmine Jefferson's Jaiologie.com, which is a style, beauty and travel blog for women of color. These influencers show the many ways you can share your passions and build community online while being true to yourself. We hope you find something or someone worth following in this collection of creatives. We certainly did. 11

Healthy Realness with Jennifer Pierce

Jennifer Pierce has all the hallmarks of a classic blogger archetype. She's a bubbly, world-traveling yogi with green smoothie recipes to spare. But Pierce points out that what you see of her online is exactly what you get in person. "I don't think I have an online voice. I have my voice which distinguishes me from every other blogger, and it's how I speak when I blog and interact on social media." So when it comes to her online brandâ€” both on her blog and social mediaâ€”Pierce has a crystal clear idea of what people should expect. "Bright, spunky, healthy, honest. If you land on my website and you don't feel that, email me because I am doing something wrong with my online presence." By day, Pierce is a CPA. By night, she is both a yoga instructor and a holistic health coach. She shares her knowledge on her blog jenniferpiercehealth.com. "My interest in healthy food came out of necessity." Pierce's own health journey began in 212 1

earnest about five years ago. Suffering from five to six migraines a month, she turned to nutrition and diet hoping for relief. Pierce began preparing healthy versions of her favorite recipes and bringing them with her to parties. Friends began requesting the recipes, and her blog grew from that place of sharing her knowledge with others. "My content at Jennifer Pierce Health focuses on healthy recipes, eating mostly organic, whole foods and developing and facilitating online group detox programs." As far as growing her blog is concerned, Pierce has focused less on the analytics than other bloggers who rely on ad clicks as a revenue stream. Instead, she plans to share more of her knowledge via paid products and programs she'll sell on her site. "I have a new product coming out soon on how to quit sugar. I plan to pay attention

to how the sales pages and SEO keywords drive traffic to my blog." This strategy allows Pierce to draw on the strong community she's built by being authentically herself on both her blog and social media accounts. "When your brand and brand message resonates with someone, they can't help but to follow and want more." Pierce's cohesive message and bright personality are clearly evident on her Instagram feed, @jenniferpiercehealth, where she also shares her adventures from her travels, as well as at home in Pensacola. "I've been known to bust out a yoga pose or two on the white sands!" Her passion for healthy food and yoga, plus an interest in minimalism, informs who Pierce follows online. The main thing most of her favorites have in common, that also connects to a main theme in her own work, is travel.

"When your brand and brand message resonates with someone, they can't help but to follow and want more." Jennifer Pierce

In 2015, Pierce took a year away from her office job to travel the world and complete yoga teacher training. Since then, she's continued to document her travels all over, including the best healthy eating and yoga tips for each destination. "I love connecting with people in cities that I am traveling to. Meeting other bloggers in real life has been fun." While her feeds are full of bloggers based in her past destinations, she keeps up with local life in Pensacola as well. "In Pensacola, I enjoy many local restaurant feeds, Visit Pensacola and Taste of Pensacola. I follow local yoga studios and yogis as well." For anyone interested in starting a blog or sharing more on social media, Pierce recommends sticking to who you are offline when you're online. "Be you. Don't copy anyone else; don't try to a create a brand or space online that isn't true to you. If you are true to who you are, you'll never end up with a second class brand that is an inauthentic imitation version of someone else's." inweekly.net

The Cool Dad

with Phil Nickinson of Modern Dad Modern Dad is a video blog (or vlog as it's more commonly known) hosted by Pensacola native Phil Nickinson. In his vlog, Nickinson reviews tech products, provides information about them and explains how the products can or cannot be integrated into a 21st-century family or personal life style. The vlog started about a year ago thanks to Mobile Nation, the company that Nickinson works for, and has created content ever since. The vlog aimed to emulate the television show, "Modern Family," in the sense that Nickinson talks directly to the camera and is relaxed, but the company has since created its own style. "The basic idea for Modern Dad is that there were so many 20-year-olds on YouTube doing 20-year-old stuff," he said. "But not a lot of guys pushing 40 with wives and kids and mortgages and the experience to go along with that." August 31, 2017

Nickinson was born and raised in Pensacola and though his vlog is filmed here, the city does not influence the videos. But video blog does occasionally feature Nickinson's wife and daughters. "People get hung up on the fact that we work here in Pensacola, but I could do this job from anywhere," he said. "That's a testament to this town. I could do it from anywhere, but I choose to do it from here." He added, "I can't express how fortunate I am to work for a company and do this and not just be doing this for myself. I mean if nobody watches the videos, I can still put food on the table." Generally, Nickinson and his team work on two or three videos each week. The

team is constantly pumping out content, editing videos, writing scripts and posting online. "Working for this really awesome media company helps me a lot," he said. "We brainstorm the ideas ourselves, but we have an editorial team and a creative director." He continued, "Then our ideas are run through other branding companies that we work with and they help produce assets like our logos and color schemes. I weigh in on decisions, of course. But that's a big part of being in a larger company, I don't just do all of this on my own." Nickinson's vlog can be found on YouTube, where it has almost 39,000 subscribers. How does Modern Dad have so many subscribers? Well, Nickinson said having the company he works for post about the vlog helps.

"People get hung up on the fact that we work here in Pensacola, but I could do this job from anywhere." Phil Nickinson

"When you already have five million readers a month for all the Mobile Nation's sites, you can just upload a video to YouTube and all of those eyeballs will see it," he said. He added, "Our primary viewers are from the United States and big cities, but the video blog absolutely reaches an international audience, by default. It's the content that makes it that way." As the company continues to grow, the Modern Dad vlog does too. Nickinson is looking forward to continuing the vlog and creating new material. "We've very much been in start-up mode with this thing," he said. "We have found things that work and things that don't work. And we've adjusted accordingly." He told Inweekly, "It's really awesome though, there's this whole new world of jobs out there, jobs that can be done from anywhere. And I just happened to land one of those." 13

The Local with a Good Eye with James Moore of @Yesternow

James Moore didn't start posting on Instagram to become an influencer of local culture, but to many of his loyal followers that's exactly what he's become. "For me, being an influencer is sharing my perspective and what I enjoy and encouraging others to do the same." Instagram has given Moore a platform to not only share what he enjoys about Pensacola and his travels, but also a place to grow a brand for his other ventures. In addition to his office job, Moore runs an Etsy shop called "Yesternow" which is where his Instagram handle originated. The Yesternow shop features both vintage and handmade goods, some of which Moore rescues from the landfill. "I wanted the name to reflect the products I would have to offer," Moore said. "'Yester' being from the past and 'Now' being current." That fusion of past and current craftsmanship and design aesthetics has helped 414 1

him develop his own unique brand that spreads across his social media and his Etsy offerings. "If it were a brick and mortar, you would walk into a shop filled with hand poured candles, wood cutting boards, ceramic tableware, vintage furniture and accessories." But Moore keeps the promotion of his Etsy products on his Instagram feed to a minimum, not wanting to bombard his followers with his business. His focus on community led him to create channels on the photo-sharing platform to highlight other local businesses and culture in both Pensacola and Milton. Inspired by the communities he lives, Moore founded @igers_pensacola, @eat_ local_pensacola and @socialsantarosa. Specifically, Moore started @socialsan-

tarosa when he lived in Milton. He hoped to grow "pride and participation" through the account, then passed it along when he moved out of the area. Because of his own positive experiences seeking real life social connections through social media, Moore created accounts that would serve as platforms for more people to connect and get involved. "It's funny, I'm not really a very social guy, but Instagram has actually helped me. I used to post sort of quietly and anonymously, but more and more, I am getting out there." Comments are key when it comes to engaging with other Instagram users. Having just passed 1,000 followers on @yesternow, Moore still pays attention to comments on his posts.

"It's funny, I'm not really a very social guy, but Instagram has actually helped me." James Moore

He's also mindful of who he follows on the app and tries to keep that number of accounts near 600. "I want to be able to pay close attention to the ones I do follow," Moore said. Some of his favorites include @daleyplate for food and @localmilk for styling and travel. "There are lots of locals I love, but @drewbuchanan and @laurenbrazell, in particular, do a great job of highlighting Pensacola." For anyone else looking to engage more and grow their social media (and real-life) network organically, Moore stresses consistency across platforms. But most importantly, he encourages authenticity and participation as the best tools for social media success. "Just start. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Share what you enjoy. Find similar people, but find new and different things too." inweekly.net

Beauty, Brains and Brands With Jasmine Jefferson of Jaiologie

Jasmine Jefferson began as a consumer with friends asking for advice on how she achieved success in her personal journey embracing her natural hair and self-love. For her blog and social media presence, Jefferson took that role of trusted advice giver and grew her voice from there. And by "grew" we mean "totally took off"â€”to the tune of over 13,000 Instagram followers. "In my opinion, an influencer is someone who is a trusted liaison between brands and companies and consumers." According to Jefferson, influencers should provide "honest and reliable" content for brands and their audience. Her blog, Jaiologie.com, is created for women of color and covers topics such as natural hair care and style, beauty, travel, self-care and mental health. Her work celebrates the intricacies of being a black woman, with the goal of being both relatable and inspirational. "My brand is a digital beauty space creAugust 31, 2017

ated for women of color who are navigating their beautifully busy lifestyles. It consists of quick and easy avenues for women to find lifestyle and beauty hacks, as well as encouraging women to pursue the best version of themselves." Both her blog and social media presence are targeted and well-curated, with a sophistication and professionalism that makes it clear that Jefferson means business online. "I prefer to address myself as a beauty creative, because outside of being an influencer, I am also an entrepreneur and digital strategist." As Jefferson's blog and social media influence continue to grow, she is introducing more of her educational background and personal passions into her content. By expanding her self-care and lifestyle content to mental health, she is able to stoke the fire of larger conversations through her established online community. "I love helping people and my social media

presence allows me to do just that in so many different avenues." When it comes to building a community and brand online, Jefferson prioritizes engagement and authenticity with her audience. "I keep track of followers for statistic purposes, but I pay closer attention to comments because it's a good metric for engagement, which is really important to me." Although Jefferson shares many aspects of her life with her followers, she maintains a healthy balance between her online life and her offline reality. "I've created a space where it's okay for myself and others to be human, and because of this my audience is more understanding if I don't share every life moment." Jefferson appreciates how easy and quick it is to connect with so many people online and enjoys following accounts that share about the many aspects of life that she loves. "I love following like minded accounts. Anyone who promotes women empowerment,

plants (I'm an unashamed plant mother), mental wellness and black girl magic." As for local Pensacola favorites, she enjoys following Big Al's Crabs and loves to feature the white sands of Pensacola Beach whenever she can. But as a content consumer and creator, Jefferson also sees the negatives of keeping up with a constant churning of trending culture. "I'm so annoyed with stereotypes that are perpetuated by false social media trends." Jefferson built her voice and style online by sharing her story with her audience and posting what she genuinely loved. From there, she narrowed in on a community that sought her advice and relied on her as a source of trusted information. For those hoping to expand their online presence and leadership, Jefferson points to consistency and engagement as top priorities, while stressing the importance of authenticity. "My best advice is to never compromise yourself to appeal to others," she said. 15

The Upside of ‘Graming

with the City of Pensacola social media team Having a strong social media presence is important in this ever changing, ever growing tech world, and Pensacola has its foot in the door. Though Pensacola sometimes slips under Floridian's radar when it comes to coastal towns in the state, its social media pages do not. The city's Instagram alone has over 20,000 followers, making Pensacola "Insta famous" by most standards. Vernon Stewart, the city's PR Manager, works closely with Laura Bogan, the city's Social Media Specialist, to run the city accounts and keep followers informed on all things Pensacola. "By using social media, we as the account managers influence viewers perception of our community," Stewart said. "We have an amazing opportunity to show visitors, residents and anyone who looks at the account our beautiful city." The city's Instagram account has influenced locals and vacationers alike, Stewart told Inweekly. And it plays an important role in the city's image. "We want to stay up-to-date in this

616 1

technological world," he said. "And by using Instagram, we showcase the city, local businesses and other parts of Pensacola through pictures, which is very powerful." Stewart manages the content for each social media platform, while Bogan is the city's official photographer as well as a content creator. The pair work together to create aesthetically pleasing photos and posts for the page's followers. "The social media accounts are managed by a small scale team of about two or three, depending on if we have an intern or not," he said. "Big teams are harder to work with and usually create inconsistent content, so working just the two of us, me and Laura, with an occasional intern, helps keep our content clean and consistent." Stewart added, "Laura and I bounce back ideas until we find what we feel is a good, representative image for the page and only then do we post." "90 percent of the photos posted on our social media platforms are Laura's photography," Stewart said. "We work really hard to

stage local businesses, new and old, as well as show off some Pensacola Beach sunsets and all the other outstanding parts of our city." And of course, you can't talk about the city Instagram without talking about Mayor Hayward, who seems to never take a bad photo. He makes regular appearances on the city accounts and has his own which is also worth following if you don't already—@mayorashtonhawayrd. An important piece to mastering social media is not only keeping up with trends, but starting them as well. The city proved they can do that with the best of them when they turned their slogan into a popular hashtag—#upsideofflorida. "I mean ‘The Upside of Florida' is Pensacola's slogan, so turning it into a hashtag made sense," he said. Creating a digital community is also one of the benefits the city has seen because of its social media popularity. For example, when there was a candle lighting ceremony in Pensacola for a fallen Blue Angel pilot people in the community posted

pictures, videos and then tagged the city as well as the Blues. Because the Blue Angels reach an international audience, the city's Instagram gained an international following. The pictures and videos posted brought the local and global community together. It's important for a city to have a sense of community even with its online presence, Stewart said, so locals, visitors and even people looking to move to Pensacola feel welcomed. It's also essential to showcase public areas within the city, he said. "You will see a lot of areas that don't have a lot of traffic, such as the Veterans Memorial Park," Stewart said. "So the city will post pictures of it on social media, people will see these images and want to check the areas out." The city receives overwhelming support, which is evident through the likes, shares and comments each picture or video receives, he said. "We also do fun stuff on the Instagram like hashtag contests," he told Inweekly. "We really just want to engage our audience and keep them informed." {in}

WEEK OF AUGUST 31-SEPTEMBER 6

Arts & Entertainment art, film, music, stage, books and other signs of civilization...

'Shut Up and Listen' by Jennie McKeon

Four years ago, Melody Davis got the idea to host a female-centric music festival. "We just started testing the waters and then all of these women came out of nowhere," Davis said. That idea has expanded into what is known as Ladyfest, a celebration of women in the arts. This year, the show is aptly titled Ladyfest 4(ever). Davis is one-half of the rap duo Cookies and Cake alongside Ashley Faulkner. When they started the group, she said there were times when it was difficult to be taken seriously. "I had just moved back from Georgia and noticed a lot of hip hop performers were misogynistic," she said. "It was a dude atmosphere. Paul, P Funk, wrote some beats and me and Ashley wrote the raps." Davis and Faulkner wrote their lyrics in response to the misogyny they heard from their male counterparts focusing on issues such as body positivity and the importance of consent. "It was very nerve-wracking in the beginning," Davis said. "Some shows, the guys would be talking while we were on stage. That's when I'd get loud and start projecting my words." That's the kind of confidence Davis wants other female performers to have, which is why she's giving them the stage all to themselves. "I want women to feel like that at every show," Davis said. "I want women to feel more empowered to project themselves. People need to shut up and listen."

Let’s Wine!

Bands led by females are often overlooked, Davis said. Ladyfest gives them the spotlight. All of the acts are led by or feature performers who are female or identify as female. In years past, Ladyfest has had more than musicians, including acts like belly dancers, DJs and poets. This year, a femaleled metal band will be taking the stage, which Davis is personally excited for. Some of the acts have never even performed in front of a live audience. "Our first year, we had a 19-year-old girl who had only played music in her bedroom," Davis said. "After her performance, she was booked for other gigs. It was really nice to see that. One girl was a hairstylist who also played the ukulele. She got up and played three songs and that was it." "I want women to get on stage," Davis added. "It doesn't matter to me... heck even if you can't play you can get up there and make some noise." Not only does the show benefit aspiring female talents, but it also benefits a local cause. All proceeds from the show will benefit Strive (Social Trans Initiative), a local non-profit dedicated toward advocating for the transgender community in the Pensacola area. You can also knock a dollar off the cover charge by bringing a canned food item for Food Not Bombs.

Alongside the music are jewelry and crafts by female talents such as Keep Away From Cats Jewelry, FantasyD!, Melany O, Nicole Bowman and Ashley Simmons. The vintage shop Saturn Collection will also be holding a raffle to win $100 at their shop. All proceeds will benefit FavorHouse, which is a domestic violence center serving Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, providing immediate assistance and long-term help for victims of abuse. And this year, Ladyfest will also be at a new, female-owned venue, Chizuko. Owners Jessica Laws and Daisy Doyle said they're excited to support the cause and "spread some girl power." "Ladyfest is the perfect fit for Chizuko because we love to host events that benefit the community and we are stoked that Melody chose to give the proceeds to Strive," said Laws. "We also love that we get to be a platform for women to be able to express themselves." As female business owners, Laws said it's important to empower and encourage other women's successes. "We wouldn't be where we are without support from the bad ass women in our lives," she added.

"We wouldn't be where we are without support from the bad ass women in our lives." Jessica Laws

Davis said she likes the opportunity to prove people wrong. "I remember one show when a guy said, ‘Wow, that's really great.' He thought we were just going to stand around the stage and giggle," she said. "We want to expose audiences to great music, expose people to new bands." While the talent is lady-centric, all ages and genders are welcome to enjoy the show. "Everyone is always welcome. It doesn't matter your gender," Davis said. "Just bring a good attitude." {in}

RadioLive is Back (Again)

Grant Peeoples / Courtesy Photo When RadioLive ended in 2016, WUWF Executive Director Pat Crawford thought that was it. "Thankfully, I was wrong," he said in an e-mail interview. "I was approached by many fans of the program who wanted to help bring it back. A campaign was started and a group of dedicated individuals and businesses—now known as the RadioLive 25—raised $25,000 to re-launch the show." The first RadioLive broadcast was in September 1989 as part of the inauguration of former UWF president, Morris Marx. The show included satirical skits along with musical acts. "The audience loved it, so we just kept going," Crawford said. "The skits were part of it until 2000 when we decided to just focus on the music. It has always been about supporting singer/songwriters and live performances." In 2013, the show went on hiatus due to budget constraints. Shortly after, the Clark Partington law firm underwrote the program costs for two years, Crawford said. During that time, it was up to the audience to make voluntary contributions but donations fell short, and the program was cut again. Thanks to the RadioLive 25, the show will go on this year, but there is one change. "After consulting with many fans of the program, it was determined that having an admission fee of $10 would sustain the program," 222 2

Crawford explained. "The majority of the proceeds go to pay the artists. The remainder will be used to maintain the equipment and make improvements to the infrastructure." The musical guests of RadioLive are well worth a $10 bill. Each show features three artists or bands, most are not local acts you can catch anywhere else in Pensacola. "These are incredibly talented writers as well as performers," Crawford said. "Many of them have written No. 1 hits for some of the biggest names in the music business. Part of our mission is to expose our audiences to artists they might not hear otherwise." It's not just audiences that are excited about RadioLive's return. Crawford has been the producer and host of the show since day one and still looks forward to each show. "I wasn't sure either one of us would last this long," he joked. "Each month feels like a family reunion. I have made so many friends over the years with artists and the audience members alike and I love them all." Kicking off the first RadioLive of 2017 is Grant Peeples, along with Smithfield Air and Sarah Mac Band. Tallahassee-based singer/songwriter, Peeples is a RadioLive regular and says it's always a "privilege" to perform on the show. "This is a huge event for the artists, it's a good gig," he said over the phone before a show in Austin. "In the old days

you'd have the troubadours come into town and people would come and listen. RadioLive provides that kind of experience." Peeples didn't start to perform professionally until the weekend of his 50th birthday. After living in Nicaragua from 1995 to 2006, he came back to the U.S. with songs in his head that he had to share. "It was a cultural shock to me," he said about his move back to the States. "There was so much going on...my songs made me do it." From his small home on a remote island in Nicaragua, he watched major U.S. news events unfold like 9/11. But in Central America, he saw people in desperate need of food and shelter and children dying from disease. When he went to sit down and write— poetry or music—he thought of the contrast between the two worlds he belonged to. Peeples said he wants his words to challenge how people think. "I'm into shaking folks up," he said. "Whatever it is, whoever your heroes are—I like to shake it up." Nowadays, Peeples said he's been writing more poetry than song lyrics. The poetry is often incorporated into his performances, sometimes in song, like the bluesy ‘Grant's Talking Blues.' When it comes to performing his music, Peeples said he enjoys getting in front of the RadioLive crowd. "These are my people," he said. "I really wish RadioLive has a long run this time." As a public radio station, Crawford said RadioLive fits right in with WUWF's mission. "We are dedicated to providing inspiring, uplifting and enlightening programs—news, interviews, and music," he added. "It is also important to support independent artists. For many of them, public radio is their only outlet, and that is very important to us." Like in years past, you can tune in to 88.1 to listen to RadioLive. But take it from the experts—the best way to experience it is... well, live. "Nothing beats the experience of attending a live show," Crawford said. "The atmosphere is very intimate, and our artists love the opportunity to develop a relationship with the audience. I have never had an artist who didn't ask to come back—it's a mutual love fest." {in}

RADIOLIVE RETURNS

news of the weird ECLIPSING WEIRD A California man with European heritage "strong and pure" placed an ad on Craigslist in advance of the solar eclipse on Aug. 21, seeking a "worthy female" to have sex with him in Oregon and "conceive a child that will be on the next level of human evolution." "Everything will be aligned in the local universe. Both of our cosmic orgasmic energy will be aligned with the planets," the ad posited. He had only one specific caveat: "You must like cats." The ad has since been deleted. RISE OF THE MACHINES When Louise Kennedy, an equine veterinarian from Ireland who has worked in Australia for the past two years on a skilled worker visa, decided to stay in the country, she had to take the Pearson Test of English as part of her requirements for permanent residency. Imagine her surprise when, as a native English speaker with two university degrees, she flunked the oral component of the computer-based test. "There's obviously a flaw in their computer software when a person with perfect oral fluency cannot get enough points," Kennedy said. For its part, Pearson has denied that there is any problem with its test or scoring "engine." Kennedy will pursue a spouse visa so she can remain with her Australian husband. NEW WORLD ORDER In Saint-Bernard-deLacolle, Quebec, near Plattsburgh, New York, the Canadian military is building a refugee camp to house asylum-seekers coming from the United States, where recent migrants fear the current administration's immigration crackdown. Montreal has already turned its Olympic Stadium into a shelter for refugees. The new camp would house 500 people in heated tents while they wait for refugee applications to be processed. More than 3,300 people crossed into Quebec from the U.S. between January and June 2017. BRIGHT IDEA United States Border Patrol agent Robert Rocheleau and Alburgh, Vermont, resident Mark Johnson, 53, exchanged tense words on Aug. 3 when Johnson climbed down from his tractor and demanded to know why Rocheleau wasn't doing more to apprehend illegal immigrants. Johnson said people working in the U.S. illegally were damaging his livelihood. (Alburgh is just south of the border with Canada.) After the exchange, Johnson got back in his tractor and, as Rocheleau reported, "While passing by my vehicle Mr. Johnson ... engaged the PTO shaft to his trailer and covered my vehicle in cow manure." Mr. Johnson pleaded not guilty in Vermont Superior Court in North Hero, saying he didn't know the car was nearby when he turned on his manure spreader. PICKY, PICKY The Ford Motor Co. has hired smell-testers for its research labs in China, where consumers don't like the "new-car" smell that many Americans seek out. Ford calls the testers its "golden noses," who sniff materials

such as upholstery, steering wheels and carpet. Testers are subjected to a stringent selection process and must not smoke or drink alcohol. "In North America," said Andy Pan, supervisor for material engineering at a Ford facility in China, "people want a new-car smell and will even buy a 'new-car' spray to make older cars feel new and fresh. In China, it's the opposite." OW! OW! OW! On June 25, Doug Bergeson of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, was framing the fireplace of a home he was building when his nail gun slipped from his grasp and shot a 3 1/2-inch nail into his heart. Bergeson said it stung, but when he saw the nail "moving with my heart," he realized he wasn't going to get any more work done. So he washed up and drove himself to the hospital 12 miles away, where he alerted a security guard that he had a nail in his heart and said, "It'd be great if you can find somebody to help me out here." Bergeson underwent surgery to remove the nail, which his doctors said barely missed a main artery in his heart. BOLD MOVE Edward Kendrick McCarty, 38, of North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, came away with more than good tips after deejaying a wedding reception. The morning after the wedding, bride Ashley Karasek of Turkeytown noticed that her box of wedding cards was mostly empty. McCarty had been in charge of the box during the reception, and Karasek noticed people handing him cards to put in it throughout the evening. But when she and her new husband looked in the box, only 12 cards remained. McCarty confessed to taking the cards "because of financial struggles" and said he got about $600. EWWWW! Swiss grocery chain Coop announced on Aug. 17 that it will start selling burger patties made from mealworms as an alternative to beef. Essento's Insect Burgers and meatball-like Insect Balls also contain rice, carrots and spices. "Insects are the perfect complement to a modern diet," said Christian Bartsch, co-founder of Essento. "They have a high culinary potential, their production saves resources and their nutritional profile is high-quality." WEIRD SCIENCE The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board is investigating in Navi Mumbai, India, after stray dogs started turning blue. An animal protection group there contends that dyes being dumped into the Kasadi River by nearby factories are causing the dogs' fur to turn a bright shade of blue. {in}
