Stacey Abrams / staceyabrams.com

winners ROMANCING THE RUNOFF Rallying behind Stacey Abrams, a voting rights activist and romance author, American romance novelists have helped raise nearly $400,000 to help elect two Democratic senators in Georgia. Abrams has also joined the "Romancing the Runoff" fundraiser and has donated a copy of the first of her eight published romance novels—one signed with both her actual name and her pen name, Selena Montgomery. Abrams' efforts to get out the Black voters has been credited with helping Joe Biden become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia in more than a quarter-century. FILL THE MAYFLOWER The annual event

of Coastal Moving & Storage Food collected food items that will provide over 130,000 meals through Manna Food Pantries' programs and partners in the two-county area. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricane Sally, Manna has focused on supporting the needs of at-risk, vulnerable populations served pre-COVID-19 and those who suddenly find themselves unemployed or with reduced hours and have unmet needs. This year, Manna has distributed nearly 600,000 pounds of food, including fresh produce, to neighbors in need.

BAPTIST HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION

The foundation continues to work with community partners and donors to help raise funds to provide mammograms to uninsured women and to raise awareness about the importance of breast health. Throughout October, the foundation raised $30,570 to benefit its Mammogram Fund. Since the start of this program, it has provided screenings to 2,253 women.

GULF POWER PA Consulting honored the utility with the 2020 ReliabilityOne® Award for Outstanding Reliability Performance in the Southeast suburban/rural service area. Gulf Power's nearly 470,000 customers experienced the best-ever service reliability in 2019. The average time a Gulf Power customer experienced an outage was approximately 25% less than in 2018. In 2010, Gulf Power began investing $250 million in storm hardening and reliability improvement efforts, which the company plans to complete in 2022.

losers FLORIDA'S MARIJUANA LAWS Richard DeLisi, who has spent 31 years in prison for a nonviolent marijuana crime, may be released from jail soon, thanks to the Last Prison Project's help. The man has been incarcerated since 1989 when, at 40, he was convicted on charges of racketeering, trafficking in cannabis and conspiracy after agreeing to help smuggle over 100 pounds of marijuana into Florida. According to the group, with 31 years in prison, DeLisi is the country's longest-serving nonviolent cannabis prisoner. TRUE THE VOTE INC. Fred Eshelman, the founder of venture capital firm Eshelman Ventures LLC, has sued the Houstonbased nonprofit, alleging he was duped by the group that claimed it would file lawsuits to uncover election fraud on behalf of President Donald Trump. Eshelman donated $2.5 million to True the Vote Inc. and said in the lawsuit that True the Vote only gave him "vague responses, platitudes and empty promises of follow-up that never occurred." The group filed four lawsuits in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia and Pennsylvania. True the Vote later withdrew them on Nov. 16, according to court documents. SIDNEY POWELL At a Nov. 19 news

conference, Powell claimed "communist money," the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and a manipulated computer algorithm were part of a secret plot that had potentially altered millions of ballots and stolen the election from Trump. Two days later on Newsmax, the attorney asserted that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Republican, had taken bribes to throw Biden's election. Powell made the allegations without providing any evidence. Though the Trump campaign has stated she doesn't represent the president, she has raised funds for a lawsuit that asserts "ballot-stuffing" by manipulating Dominion's electronic voting systems that are "virtually invisible." Dominion has released a rebuttal, calling the lawsuit malicious and a "bizarre election fraud conspiracy" that is "baseless, senseless, physically impossible and unsupported by any evidence whatsoever." inweekly.net

DECEMBER SURPRISES One might think December would be a month of coasting for local newspapers—filling the pages with holiday stories, reviews of the past year and predictions of the next—but we've found surprises can still pop up during the 12th month. In December 2001, the Independent Florida Sun—one of the former names of this newspaper—shocked readers with a cover of Escambia County Commission Chairman W.D. Childers as Santa Claus with the paper's publisher emeritus Joe Scarborough as his elf. Attorney Fred Levin had brokered the photo to mend the relationship between Childers and Scarborough after our newspaper had questioned Childers' leadership style. Meanwhile, I had Duwayne Escobedo continue to dig into the county's multimillion-dollar land deals. The resulting story led to Childers and three other commissioners being removed from office in 2002. Childers was later convicted of bribing Commissioner Willie Junior. In December 2004, Pensacola Police found Junior's decomposed body under a house after he had gone missing for a month. The medical examiner ruled the death a suicide. In December 2008, talk radio changed forever when WCOA's iconic personality Luke McCoy stepped down as the host of the station's morning show and "Pensacola Speaks." Rival NewsRadio 1620 had only one of its original hosts, Wendy Summers, still on the air. Bubba Bechtol, Marty Stanovich, Larry Butler and I had moved on to other interests. In December 2010, Inweekly broke the story of how Scott Davison had misrepresented his development team and his financial capabilities to win the bid to be the master developer of the Community Maritime Park. As Davison's world began to fall apart and he was hit with several lawsuits and judgments for other projects, Hoar Construction was hired to build the stadium, which opened in 2012. In December 2011, we published an investigative report on accusations of chil-

dren being sexually and physically abused in a Christian orphanage in Haiti and a lawsuit by the mothers who adopted 11 children from that mission. In the following years, Haiti made sweeping changes to its adoption process to comply with the Hague Adoption Convention regulating international adoptions. In December 2013, Inweekly reported what many suspected was a scheme to punish Collier Merrill for fighting for a concession contract at the airport. Someone close to Mayor Ashton Hayward's administration leaked to the daily newspaper a demand notice claiming Seville Harbour, Inc. and Merrill Land, LLC owed the city 5% of The Fish House and Atlas Oyster House's gross sales since April 2000, plus interest—estimated to be about $5 million. The News Journal's headline—"Mayor Accuses Fish House of Cheating City Out of Millions"—was devastating. We outlined how the city had no sound legal basis for the notice. The courts agreed with our analysis, and the city was left with a mountain of legal fees. In December 2015, we called for the county commission to review the six deaths in the Escambia County Jail that had occurred since November 2014. Nationally, around 80% of all local jails had no deaths in a year, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Less than 7% had two or more deaths. The county's deaths were an anomaly. County Administrator Jack Brown fired the corrections director after our article hit the stands. Then last year, NAS Pensacola was hit with a terrorist attack when a Royal Saudi Air Force member shot and killed three sailors and wounded eight others, including two Escambia County deputies. Deputies killed the attacker, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Al-Shamrani, when they engaged with him, and investigators determined that AlShamrani was "self-radicalized" and acted alone in the attack. Will December 2020 have a surprise? After all that we've been through this year, it would be nice to coast for once. {in} rick@inweekly.net

INSIDE THE ATTACK ON NAS

Photo courtesy of Escambia County Sheriff ’s Office

By Rick Outzen On Friday, Nov. 20, the U.S. Navy released a 260-page report into the Dec. 6, 2019, terrorist attack on NAS Pensacola that left three sailors dead. The media has reported the investigators' conclusions that 2nd Lt. Mohammed Al-Shamrani, a 21-year-old Royal Saudi Air Force member, was "self-radicalized" and that the aviation training climate "likely increased his probability of committing an insider attack." Less publicized was the timeline of the events the day of the shooting and how the building's layout, the command's lack of active shooting training and inadequate response time to the threat may have exacerbated the situation. The heroic actions of the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, while commended, were either redacted or omitted from the report.

THE TICK-TOCK

At approximately 0640 local on 6 December 2019, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Al-Shamrani, an RSAF flight student, entered Naval Aviation Schools Command (NASC), located in Building 633, Naval Air Station Pensacola (NASP). 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani was armed with a GLOCK-45 9mm handgun and equipped with multiple extended-capacity ammunition magazines. At 0643, he entered the quarterdeck area and killed two United States Navy watchstanders. From 0643 to 0652, 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani moved throughout the building, killing one additional sailor and injuring five other military and civilian personnel. At 0652, NASP Navy security forces (NSF) entered the quarterdeck and engaged 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani in a running gun battle; one NSF civilian police officer was injured. At 0656, Escambia County Sheriff's Office (ECSO) deputies entered the building to assist NSF and immediately engaged 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani. Two ECSO deputies were wounded. At 0658, an ECSO deputy killed 2 Lt. AlShamrani with a rifle. In total, three U.S. personnel were killed and eight injured. 66

MISSING DETAILS

Piecing together the responses of Navy security forces and Escambia County Sheriff's Office is difficult due to the report being heavily redacted. Inweekly requested ECSO reports of the incident and were told the records were turned over to the Department of Justice, which considers the investigation still active. However, Inweekly earlier this year did sit down with Sheriff David Morgan and Chief Deputy Chip Simmons, who shared their agency's response from the first "shots fired" call from NAS Pensacola to when they turned Building 633 over to federal investigators after eliminating the threat. Their statements help fill in some of the gaps of what did and didn't happen the day of the shooting. We also gain insights into measures that might have possibly reduced the loss of life on the base. Building 633, where the attack occurred, was constructed in 1921 and refurbished in 2005. How it was refurbished was redacted, but investigators reported, "While these measures and construction may not have prevented the attack entirely, robust and proactive PS (Physical Security) may have deterred 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani from attacking NASC (Naval Aviation Schools Command)." The report also pointed out NASC, Training Air Wing Six (TW-6), Training Squadron Ten (VT-10) and Training Squadron Eight Six (VT-86) had failed to complete required active shooter training in FY 19. "This training provides individuals with tactics, techniques and procedures in the event of an active shooter," stated the report, under Primary Noncontributing Factors. "Completion of this training ensures personnel properly egress, shelter and blockade if forced to hide and prepare to attack as required." When the NAS Pensacola quarterdeck received notification of the active shooter within six minutes of the initial 911 call, watchstanders failed to properly deploy— what wasn't deployed is redacted—within the required two-minute time frame. The report stated, "This delay placed additional personnel at risk." The report doesn't provide any details on how ECSO deputies ended the threat

but noted, "ECSO deputies and Escambia County first responded rapidly and heroically to engage 2nd Lt. Al-Shamrani and treat injured personnel." The sheriff's office's rapid and heroic response wasn't by chance. When he took office in 2008, Sheriff Morgan prioritized having a substation in Warrington, minutes away from the front gate of the naval base. His predecessor, Ron McNesby, had closed the precinct. Under Morgan, a new facility was built and opened in 2012. According to Sheriff Morgan, Capt. Charles Hogue and Capt. Robert Johnson of NASP security forces first responded to a "shots fired" call, engaged Al-Shamrani and called back that they had an active shooter. Hogue was shot and evacuated from the building. ECSO dispatch sent out the alert. ECSO Sgt. Mike Hoyland was in the Warrington precinct mustering his troops. "The changeover was occurring when the call came out that we have an active shooter on NAS Pensacola," said Morgan. "You literally had the transition of one shift coming on and one shift going off, so you had an ideal situation for the number of people to respond to that particular incident. Our forces basically were doubled." Upon arrival at the building, Deputy Matthew Tinch and Deputy Jonathan Glass immediately engaged the shooter as they had been trained. Senior Deputy Grant Lopez was running radar in the area and was on a motorcycle. He was able to weave through the traffic and get to Building 633. He followed them into the building. Chief Deputy Simmons explained that after the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, SWAT teams had changed their tactics from a wait-and-negotiate strategy to initiating contact with the shooter as soon as possible. "Whenever we hit the manpower at the location, whether it's one or two deputies, they go to the threat and take care of it," said Simmons, who won the election in early November to be the county's next sheriff. Escambia County trains its officers to go to and neutralize or kill the threat. Simmons said, "And that's exactly what every single person that responded did—the NAS police engaged, then Tinch and Glass did it and then Lopez. No one sat around; no one circled the place; no one stopped at the restroom. No one did any of that stuff. They went straight to the threat." He added, "Then the last three, Hoyland, Deputy Matthew Keebler and Deputy Matthew Housam, got there, and they did the same thing. No one else was killed by the shooter, and the threat was eliminated." Deputies Glass and Tinch encountered the shooter in a stairwell. Both were shot, and Lopez heard the shooter running on the second floor toward another stairwell. Lopez got off two shots and struck the ter-

rorist but failed to take him down. Lopez's gun jammed, and he retreated while trying to clear his weapon. The shooter chased him and ran into Hoyland, Housam and Keebler, who took him down. After the shooter was killed, the deputies weren't sure that the threat had been completely eliminated. "We were hearing one shooter, maybe two shooters. Maybe an automatic weapon. Maybe a bomb," said Chief Simmons about the threat. "And so everyone said, 'OK, one shooter is down, but we don't know if it's over.'" Deputies knocked on every door and searched every room of the building. Simmons said, "From my SWAT days, until the building is clear and secure, it is an active crime scene." The Escambia County Sheriff's Office deployed 35 officers to handle the threat. Sheriff Morgan said, "Once the threat was negated and we did headcounts of all of our people and made sure that the wounded were being attended to appropriately, then we literally started backing out because our part was over." Simmons told Inweekly that he believed training made the difference. "I think that you train and you train and you train, and to expect a more professional response from a sheriff's agency isn't realistic," said Simmons. "To say we're proud is an understatement. We understand it's tragic, but you cannot have perfection. But our guys almost did. From the first man to respond to the 35th man to respond, they were a credit to the agency."

AFTERMATH

The Navy report commended the sailors who lost their lives to protect their shipmates "in the highest traditions of the naval service." The investigators wrote, "We owe it to the three Sailors lost, the many wounded and those who placed themselves in harm's way on 6 December 2019 to change the appropriate policies, devote sufficient resource and assure our force we are doing everything in our power to keep faith and keep them safe." They encouraged naval installations to man, train and arm their security forces to "rapidly respond with a preponderance of force at any time to preserve our most precious assets—our personnel." On Jan. 31, Sheriff Morgan presented Purple Hearts to officers who were injured when they engaged the shooter—ECSO Deputy Glass and Deputy Tinch and DOD Police Captain Hogue. Medals of Valor were also awarded to Glass, Tinch, Hogue, DOD Capt. Johnson, ECSO Sgt. Hoyland, Senior Deputy Lopez, Deputy Housam and Deputy Keebler. {in}

EXPLAINING WAVELET On Monday, Nov. 23, CivicCon hosted a virtual town hall with executives from Pensacola health care systems on the COVID-19 pandemic. Baptist Health Care President and CEO Mark Faulkner, Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital Pensacola President Dawn Rudolph and Community Health Northwest Florida CEO and Executive Director Chandra Smiley wanted to participate in the session because they wanted to assure the community that they were monitoring the situation and to point out how the current uptick differs from the wave of infections and hospitalizations of this past summer. "We just felt it was important to be transparent and to ensure that for this community, we all had kind of line of sight what was happening in each other's shops, if you will, particularly early on when we were anxious about nursing homes, prison, what's happening," said Rudolph. Smiley told the audience the community's positivity rate for COVID-19 has risen, though still not as high as July. "As we're entering into this seasoning of gatherings and festivities, we're beginning to see the numbers come back up," she said. "We're hovering at around 16% right now, and I think it's important. Although we're not at that positive rate of 25% that we were experiencing back in July, it's important to remember all of the tools and the resources that we have to protect ourselves and to protect our loved ones." 88

Rudolph described the recent outbreak as a "wavelet," not a wave because the current trajectory is "not quite the same" as the steep incline seen from June to July. "We share our data in this community every day with each other and with our local officials, and so it's really important to see, once even a small trend of ticking up, we watch that," she said. "Once we got to 75 hospitalizations, we wanted to just bring awareness to the community that we're seeing a wavelet." Rudolph added, "We're being vigilant on the day-to-day numbers so that we can make sure that we're proactive, that we are transparent to the community and each other ... We want to know as early as possible if we see that community rate translates into hospitalizations." Faulkner of Baptist Health Care concurred with Rudolph, saying the wavelet appeared to be infecting a less vulnerable demographic. "What we see now isn't as concerning as to what we saw in July and August when we saw a very steep incline to the curve," he said, pointing the summer wave impacted "institutionalized setting, like nursing homes and assisted living, where you're dealing with a higher percentage of more vulnerable citizens." He added, "We're not seeing those patients presenting to ER as we saw in June and July, so even though the testing is up and the positives are up, they're not necessarily coming through the ERs." Faulkner said the hospitals share their

data daily and are prepared to activate surge plans that involve expanding capacity within the hospitals, "and, if necessary, we even have plans outside the hospital to create additional capacity." "We also routinely are having statewide calls with our peer hospitals throughout the state organized through the Florida Hospital Association, supported through the Department of Health and the Agency for Health Care Administration," said Faulkner. "We have dialogue throughout the state. We're sharing data, of course, and learning those best practices." Another point of the call was to assure the public that hospitals and other medical facilities are safe, and medical procedures should not be delayed. Rudolph shared that her physicians have seen more patients in later stages of disease than they typically see. She talked about how hard her health care system and the others have worked to provide a safe delivery environment for the people for which they care. "The CDC guidelines, through state protocols, we meet those every day," said Rudolph. "That is very, very important for us to have a culture of safety, and it includes now these new behaviors. We didn't all have screeners at our front door before. We didn't have a universal masking policy before. We just have a new way, a new normal of creating that safe environment."

RENAMING WENTWORTH MUSEUM

The University of West Florida Historic voted on Monday, Nov. 23, to change T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum to the Pensacola Museum of History at the University of West Florida. The name change was prompt by a discovery among Wentworth's document that he was the Exalted Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s (Inweekly, "Who Gets to Tell the History," 7/23/20). "We talked at subsequent previous meetings about the revelations that Mr. Wentworth's involvement as a leader in the local Ku Klux Klan," said Historic Trust Executive Director Rob Overton at the virtual board meeting. "I think this, as a statement says, compels us to make sure that our museums reflect the values of this organization, which is inclusivity and diversity and parts of our values. He said the recommendation is consistent with the names of the university's other museumsâ€”Pensacola Museum of Art and Pensacola Children's Museum, the Historic Village." "We're more closely aligned with, as I said, the other names I've got in here. We have worked with the representatives of the Wentworth foundation or family members," said Overton. "And I have included in here their statement that they have released titled 'Our New Season of Excavation, Healing and Restoration.'"

The statement read, "When the board decided to end the work of the T.T. Wentworth Jr. Foundation four years ago, we believed our efforts had been completed. We left our work on the history of Northwest Florida and the contributions made by the Wentworth family in the good hands of the UWF Historic Trust and Pensacola State College. However, sometimes history finds us. Recent revelations about our founder's leadership in the KKK now compel us to return to right past wrongs wherever possible. This is where we now find ourselves as the family and former board members of the foundation. "First and foremost, we stand against racism in any form, including our founder's involvement as the leader of the KKK, chapter 57 in Escambia County. We were deeply saddened to learn the full scale of his involvement in this secret organization that has done great harm to the African American community, among others. To that end, we are forming a task force of family, foundation members and community leaders to determine the extent of T.T. Wentworth Jr.'s activities and the harm that may have caused. Our hope is that lament, healing and restoration will come from looking back so that we and our community can begin to move forward. We believe that this could become a transformational moment for our beloved community of Pensacola. "History is an evolving story, and we find ourselves with unfinished business concerning our founder. We can't change the past, but we can begin to shape a future that chooses hope and unity over division and fear. We ask you, especially the children and grandchildren of those who have been harmed, to keep us accountable. This process may be more about your families than it is ours. "And so, it appears we still have some work to do." "This unexpected journey may turn out to be far more important than any name on the old City Hall facing Ferdinand Plaza." The Historic Trust board also approved the formation of a committee led by UWF history professor Jamin Wells, with members from the African American Heritage Society of Pensacola, Pensacola City Council, the Wentworth Foundation and others. According to Overton, the committee will review the Wentworth "collection to see if any other information turns up and hosting some public sessions about them." Changing the museum's name still has several hurdles to overcome, including getting the approval of the Florida Historical Commission and the UWF Board of Trustees.

elected as the president and Ann Hill as vice president. Both are serving their first terms on the council. Moore and Hill assumed their offices immediately.

BOWLING LANDS IN DOE The former Pensacola City Attorney is a senior advisor in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), where she advises the Assistant Secretary and senior executive leadership on a wide range of energy policy and regulatory matters. Bowling served as city attorney under former Mayor Ashton Hayward. After Grover Robinson assumed office in 2018, she was reassigned to be a contract and lease attorney for the city. She joined the Department of Energy in March 2020. For DOE, Bowling leads EERE international affairs, facilitating and promoting collaborative efforts among international government and industry leaders and the 17 National Laboratories on strategic engagements to support global energy efficiency and security. It's uncertain if she will have the same role in the Biden Administration. CLOSE BUT NO PRIZE Only one Florida

military base, Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County, made the list of six locations to participate in the next phase in selecting the home of U.S. Space Command Headquarters. During his Virtual Defense Day 2020 forum in mid-June, Congressman Matt Gaetz said that Gov. Ron DeSantis favored Brevard to host the command headquarters. Still, Pensacola advanced to the evaluation phase, and in August, FloridaWest and the city of Pensacola completed questionnaires from the Air Force to assess the area's ability to host, employ and sustain the $1 billion complex to be completed by 2026 and expected to create approximately 1,400 jobs with an estimated $104 million in earnings and $450 million in economic activity.

"Though it is disappointing not to have made it to the final six locations, there was great value in developing our community's proposal," FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth told Inweekly after hearing the area didn't make the final cut. "We feel that there is plenty of opportunity for Pensacola to be a player in future space programs. With Avalex's work with Virgin Atlantic, Blue Origin at the Port and a successful capsule splashdown, Pensacola is already supporting the space industry, and that is just the beginning." He added, "Having paved the way in cryptology in the early 1960s, Pensacola's CyberCoast is uniquely positioned as a natural leader in cybersecurity today with numerous operations locally. We know that the level of security necessary for future space operations is extreme, and we are proud to be in a place where all of these industries merge." In August, U.S. Space Command was established as the military's 11th unified combatant command with provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., which also moved to the next phase. The other four finalists are Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M.; Redstone Arsenal, Ala.; Joint Base San Antonio, Texas; and Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. The Air Force expects to announce a final site next year.

CLIMATE ACTION The Pensacola Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Task Force will hold a Zoom meeting to discuss progress made in carrying out the Task Force recommendations at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Two years ago, the group presented its findings, and the city of Pensacola has begun to act on some of the recommendations. The virtual meeting provides residents with an opportunity to learn how they can get more involved in helping city elected officials and staff turn the task force's work into action. The task force issued specific recommendations for how Pensacola can

protect citizens from extreme weather and flooding, that the city makes a transition to 100% renewable energy by 2040 and that transportation focuses on bicycling, walking, transit and electric vehicle charging stations, among other recommendations. Task force members expected to be in attendance include Elaine Sargent, Carrie Stevenson, Cynthia Cannon, Dr. Haris Alibasic and Dr. Wade Jeffrey. Also joining in the conversation is Mark Jackson, the city's sustainability coordinator. The shortened link for the Zoom meeting is bit.ly/3m3lQ4A.

GALLERY NIGHT RETURNS 2021 Gallery Night Pensacola has announced its hopes to resume in early 2021. Since March 2020, Gallery Night Pensacola has been on hold due to city, state and restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The City announced in September that they would begin issuing event permits on a case-by-case basis and require a detailed COVID-safe plan. Since that change, Gallery Night has reached out to the City for guidance on how an event of their size could be held safely and whether it is advisable. With this new information, the Gallery Night Board concluded that Gallery Night will not resume events immediately and will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that event attendees and businesses are safe. "While the Gallery Night board is eager to return to what we do best, the scale of our event means we are just not able to return at this time," said executive director Sydney Robinson. "We will continue to monitor the system, work with the city and plan to return in early 2021." Through the remainder of 2020, Gallery Night will host online-only events through its virtual ARTIST TALKS series.

The Season of Gold Holiday Movie Preview 2020

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE HOLLY & JOLLY TO WATCH? TURN TO PAGE 15

By Daniel Barnes

After an election season like no other in a year like no other, get ready for the most unusual awards season on record. As the movie exhibition industry continues to feel the crunch of coronavirus-related regulations, most tentpole releases have already moved to 2021. However, there remains a smattering of awards season hopefuls angling for Oscar gold. The Academy Awards telecast is currently scheduled for April 25, with streamingonly releases eligible for the first time. Here, film critic Daniel Barnes runs down the major releases and awards contenders coming to theaters and VOD this holiday season. AMMONITE (DEC. 4 ON DEMAND) Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan headline this romantic costume drama from British director Francis Lee ("God's Own Country"). Winslet plays real-life paleontologist Mary Anning, who falls for a grieving woman (Ronan) left in her care.

MANK (IN THEATERS NOW; DEC. 4 ON NETFLIX) Gary Oldman plays screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz in this story about the making of "Citizen Kane." "Mank" is Director David Fincher's first film since "Gone Girl" in 2014, although the rumor that it parrots Pauline Kael's shameful "Raising Kane" is troubling. SOUND OF METAL (IN THEATERS NOW; DEC. 4 ON AMAZON PRIME) Best Actor buzz is already building for Riz Ahmed for his turn as a heavy metal drummer struggling to deal with his hearing loss and imminent deafness. HILLBILLY ELEGY (IN THEATERS AND ON NETFLIX NOW) Director Ron Howard continues his genre-hopping ways with this gritty drama centered on a troubled family in Southern Ohio. The cast includes Glenn Close, Amy Adams and Freida Pinto.

COME AWAY (IN THEATERS NOW) Best known for the animated films "The Prince of Egypt" and "Brave," director Brenda Chapman makes her live-action debut with "Come Away." This mashup of "Alice in Wonderland" and "Peter Pan" stars Angelina Jolie and David Oyelowo. WOLFWALKERS (IN THEATERS NOW; DEC. 11 ON APPLE TV+) Irish animator Tomm Moore ("The Secret of Kells") returns with this fantasy adventure about enchanted werewolves. Consider "Wolfwalkers" to be a dark horse candidate for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.

THE CROODS: A NEW AGE (IN THEATERS NOW) Voice talent Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage and Ryan Reynolds return in this sequel to the 2013 animated comedy about a family of Neanderthals. In the sequel, the Croods clash with a more evolved family. NOMADLAND (DEC. 4 IN LIMITED THEATERS) Already tapped to helm the upcoming MCU release "Eternals," Chinese director Chloé Zhao also looks like a lock to pick up an Oscar nomination for "Nomadland."

212 1

Pencil in star Frances McDormand for another nomination as well. THE PROM (DEC. 11 IN THEATERS AND ON NETFLIX) Ryan Murphy brings this adaptation of the 2018 Broadway musical to the screen. The cast includes Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, James Corden, Kerry Washington and Keegan-Michael Key. COMING 2 AMERICA (DEC. 18 ON AMAZON PRIME) This sequel to the 1988 comedy classic reunites stars Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall as Prince Akeem and Semmi. The film follows the pair as they return to America to groom the son that Akeem never knew he had. THE FATHER (DEC. 18 IN LIMITED THEATERS) French playwright Florian Zeller directs Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman in the movie version of his own 2012 play about an older man dealing with dementia. MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM (DEC. 18 ON NETFLIX) The long-awaited adaptation of August Wilson's 1982 play and the last film role for Chadwick Boseman, who died in August. Viola Davis stars as Ma Rainey, the real-life "Mother of the Blues." THE MIDNIGHT SKY (DEC. 23 ON NETFLIX) George Clooney directs and stars in this sci-fi story about a post-apocalyptic scien-

tist trying to prevent a team of astronauts from returning home. The supporting cast features Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo and Kyle Chandler. NEWS OF THE WORLD (DEC. 25 IN THEATERS) Tom Hanks headlines this dark western from director Paul Greengrass (the "Bourne" films). Hanks plays a Civil War veteran tasked with shepherding a kidnapped young girl through dangerous territory. WONDER WOMAN 1984 (DEC. 25 IN THEATERS AND ON HBO MAX) Originally set for a late March release, "Wonder Woman 1984" was first rescheduled to August, then October and finally to Christmas Day. But with most other December tentpoles already pushed to 2021, WW84 could be on the move again. ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI (DEC. 25 IN THEATERS; JAN. 15, 2021, ON AMAZON PRIME) Another stage-to-screen awards hopeful, this time the fictionalized story of Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke meeting in a hotel room after Ali beat Sonny Liston in 1964. Oscar-winning actress Regina King makes her feature directorial debut. SOUL (DEC. 25 ON DISNEY+) Director Pete Docter's film about a jazz musician navigating the afterlife will be the first Pixar movie to get a direct-to-streaming release. The estimable voice talent includes Jamie Foxx, Tina Fey and Questlove. {in} inweekly.net

Pensacola Cinema Art: 'We Need Your Help' By Jennifer Leigh

If you want to see any of the independent and limited-release films on Barnes' list in a theater, you probably already know that your best bet locally is Pensacola Cinema Art (PCA). PCAâ€”the area's sole independent theatreâ€”reopened last month, but how long it will stay open is up to the community. "It's been a tough year for everyone," said PCA owner Jim Norton in his recent newsletter. "My first week back at Pensacola Cinema Art was difficult. However, I'm not ready to give up yet." When preparing for the theatre's reopening, Norton discovered the large flat-screen TV was broken. He purchased a new one so that showings could continue, but revenue has been slow. PCA has never asked for donations in its five years of operating, but now they need all the support they can get. "We have a goal of $2,500 to raise to help us cover expenses each month to help us get through the winter," said Norton. "Customers can see our new films at the (Studer Community Institute) building for $7, and they may also contact us if they simply want to make a donation." When preparing reopening plans, Norton and Rishy Studer, who provides the free rent space for the theatre, decided they wanted to move forward with "science and common sense," said Norton. The theatre is open to 50% capacity, masks are required and the venue is cleaned between showings. This weekend, the theatre is showing "First Cow" on Friday and "The Burnt Orange Heresy" on Saturday in person. They also have a new film called "Minor Premise" debuting on their streaming service Friday, Dec. 4. On Tuesday, Dec. 15, PCA will host a special screening of "It's a Wonderful Life" at The REX Theatre. With a majority of PCA regulars being senior citizens, Norton said they may be waiting for a vaccine before they visit again. But there are options to enjoy art films without going to the theatre. He's worked to expand the options of December 3, 2020

movies people can stream at home, which brings some funds in but not enough to cover monthly expenses. This is also a good option for people who live outside of Pensacola, especially with the Pensacola Bay Bridge under construction after Hurricane Sally damage. The theatre also offers DVD rentals of the films they show for $7, which can be picked up at the venue or curbside pickup. Additionally, the theatre is available for rent for $100 for up to 15 people (friends and family) to ensure safety. Whether it's a donation or a movie ticket, all funds help keep the theatre going. "I intend to continue PCA with the support of the community, and I want to thank our customers for their support," said Norton. "I feel art films are an important resource for any community to have, and I intend to continue to offer art, indie, documentary and foreign films in this area." {in}

WEEK OF DECEMBER 3-9

Arts & Encouragement hope, help and other signs of humanity at a time when we really need it...

Streaming at Home for the Holidays By Joshua Encinias

What a difference a year makes. Last December, moviegoers could pop into the AMC on Bayou and see "The Rise of Skywalker," "Little Women" or "Uncut Gems." Flash forward deep into 2020, the theater reopened with new COVID-19 safety procedures, but there will be very few new movies until a vaccine is distributed. Until then, home viewing is your best outlet for movies new and old. We've compiled a list of holiday movies to enjoy at home this season. You'll find Christmas classics, children's stories, a queer rom-com and TV musical specials.

NETFLIX

Netflix announced a full slate of new holiday movies and TV shows long before Halloween was over. This year, they have "The Christmas Chronicles 2," starring Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus and her real-life husband, Kurt Russell, as Santa. "Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey" is an all-new, original Black Christmas story that's familyfriendly and filled with incredible actors like Phylicia Rashad and Forest Whitaker. "Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square" is Dolly's new campy holiday film where she plays a guardian angel. The movie accompanies her new holiday album, "A Holly Dolly Christmas." Loosen your belts December 3, 2020

because "The Great British Baking Show: Holidays: Season 3" is back with the television formula you love and recipes you'll never make. Marvel at this third helping of holiday salt, sugar and fat when season three debuts Friday, Dec. 4. The 2018 animated remake of the "The Grinch" starring Benedict Cumberbatch and 2000 live-action remake starring Jim Carrey are both on Netflix. The live-action movie is clunky, but thanks to Jim Carrey's slapstick performance and the memorable tune "Where Are You Christmas?" by Faith Hill, it's become a modern classic like 1966's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." The most successful film of 1954, "White Christmas," is streaming now. Featuring music from Irving Berlin and show-stopping performances from Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney, "White Christmas" is the story of two song and dance teams who put on a Christmas musical to save an inn that belongs to their friend.

APPLE TV+

Faced with a holiday cheer crisis, the North Pole knows there's only one person who can save the day—Santa's great friend, Mariah Carey. The Queen of Christmas debuts "Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas Special" on Friday, Dec. 4. Tiffany Haddish, Billy Eichner, Ariana Grande, Jennifer

Hudson guest star. For the first time ever, Charles Schultz's holiday classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas" will stream on Apple TV+. But fear not—they struck a deal with PBS to air it once on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 6:30 p.m. as well. The show will also be available to stream for non-subscribers on Apple TV+ from Dec. 11-13.

HULU

This year, Lifetime and The Hallmark Channel created queer Christmas films, but the season's standout is "Happiest Season" on Hulu. Starring Kristen Stewart, the lesbian rom-com is directed by gay icon Clea Duvall. Stewart plays Abby, and Mackenzie Davis plays her girlfriend Harper. Abby wants to propose in front of Harper's family on Christmas Day, but Harper isn't out to her family. Drama ensues when they try to keep up the act. What makes "Happiest Season" special is the chemistry between Stewart and Davis. They make you root for their relationship. The soundtrack is really great, too, and features LGBTQ+ artists or songwriters on every track.

AMAZON PRIME

"It's A Wonderful Life" is like fruitcake—it comes around this time every year. Very few of us try it, but most of us

have bad opinions of it. The holiday classic was Jimmy Stewart's first movie after serving four and a half years in the military during World War II. It's said that Stewart channeled how the war changed him into playing George Bailey, so it's no wonder we revisit it every year. Stewart faced the horrors of war but turned his pain into a love of humanity. After our year with COVID and a brutal election, we could all use some George Baileys in our lives. So even if you normally say "no" for no real reason, give it a stream this season. "The Bishop's Wife" has Cary Grant as the cinema's most debonair angel, sent to earth to help an Episcopal bishop and his wife raise money for a new cathedral. While its remake, "The Preacher's Wife," might be more memorable to a modern audience, this one is free with your Amazon Prime account and features one of Grant's most loved performances. He was supposed to play the bishop, but when the original director was fired, their replacement realized Grant was better suited to play the angel, thus making movie history in the process. The program is like "The Muppet Show" in that it's a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show. Musical performances with Troye Sivan are intercut with scenes in the control room, making for a lighthearted and cheerful holiday special. {in} 15

free will astrology WEEK OF DECEMBER 3

By Rob Brezsny

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): Is there

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): An

anonymous blogger on Tumblr writes the following—"What I'd really like is for someone to objectively watch me for a week and then sit down with me for a few hours and explain to me what I am like and how I look to others and what my personality is in detail and how I need to improve. Where do I sign up for that?" I can assure you that the person who composed this message is not an Aries. More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Rams want to be yourself, to inhabit your experience purely and completely—not see yourself from the perspective of outside observers. Now is a good time to emphasize this specialty.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): "Humans like to be scared," declares author Cathy Bell. "We love the wicked witch's cackle, the wolf's hot breath and the old lady who eats children because sometimes, when the scary is over, all we remember is the magic." I suppose that what she says is a tiny bit true. But there are also many ways to access the magic that don't require encounters with dread. And that's exactly what I predict for you in the coming weeks, Taurus—marvelous experiences—including catharses, epiphanies and breakthroughs—that are neither spurred by fear nor infused with it.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): In 1994,

the animated movie "The Lion King" told the story of the difficult journey made by a young lion as he struggled to claim his destiny as rightful king. A remake of the film appeared in 2019. During the intervening 25 years, the number of real lions living in nature declined dramatically. There are now just 20,000. Why am I telling you such bad news? I hope to inspire you to make 2021 a year when you will resist trends like this. Your assignment is to nurture and foster wildness in every way that's meaningful for you—whether that means helping to preserve habitats of animals in danger of extinction or feeding and championing the wildness inside you and those you care about. Get started!

anyone whose forgiveness you would like to have? Is there anyone to whom you should make atonement? Now is a favorable phase to initiate such actions. In a related subject, would you benefit from forgiving a certain person whom you feel wronged you? Might there be healing for you in asking that person to make amends? The coming weeks will provide the best opportunity you have had in a long time to seek these changes.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): Scientists know that the Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down—but at the very slow rate of two milliseconds every 100 years. What that means is that 200 million years from now, one day will last 25 hours. Think of how much more we humans will be able to get done with an extra hour every day! I suspect you may get a preview of this effect in the coming weeks, Leo. You'll be extra efficient. You'll be focused and intense in a relaxing way. Not only that—You will also be extra appreciative of the monumental privilege of being alive. As a result, you will seem to have more of the precious luxury of time. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): Adventurer Tim Peck says there are three kinds of fun. The first is pure pleasure, enjoyed in full as it's happening. The second kind of fun feels challenging when it's underway, but interesting and meaningful in retrospect. Examples are giving birth to a baby or taking an arduous hike uphill through deep snow. The third variety is no fun at all. It's irksome while you're doing it, and equally disagreeable as you think about it later. Now I'll propose a fourth type of fun, which I suspect you'll specialize in during the coming weeks. It's rather boring or tedious or nondescript while it's going on, but in retrospect you are very glad you did it. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): "I made the wrong mistakes," said Libran composer and jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. He had just completed an improvisatory performance he wasn't satisfied with. On countless other occasions, however, he made the right mistakes. The unexpected notes

and tempo shifts he tried often resulted in music that pleased him. I hope that in the coming weeks you make a clear demarcation between wrong mistakes and right mistakes, dear Libra. The latter could help bring about just the transformations you need.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): "Home

weeks. I bet you'll feel a welter of unique and unfamiliar emotions. Some of them may seem paradoxical or mysterious, although I think they'll all be interesting and catalytic. I suggest you welcome them and allow them to teach you new secrets about your deep self and the mysterious nature of your life.

is not where you were born," writes Naguib Mahfouz. "Home is where all your attempts to escape cease." I propose we make that one of your mottoes for the next 12 months, Scorpio. According to my astrological analysis, you will receive all the inspiration and support you need as you strive to be at peace with exactly who you are. You'll feel an ever-diminishing urge to wish you were doing something else besides what you're actually doing. You'll be less and less tempted to believe your destiny lies elsewhere, with different companions and different adventures. To your growing satisfaction, you will refrain from trying to flee from the gifts that have been given you, and you will instead accept the gifts just as they are. And it all starts now.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): Aquarian philosopher Simone Weil formulated resolutions so as to avoid undermining herself. First, she vowed she would only deal with difficulties that actually confronted her, not far-off or hypothetical problems. Second, she would allow herself to feel only those feelings that were needed to inspire her and make her take effective action. All other feelings were to be shed, including imaginary feelings—that is, those not rooted in any real, objective situation. Third, she vowed, she would "never react to evil in such a way as to augment it." Dear Aquarius, I think all of these resolutions would be very useful for you to adopt in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21):

2019, the young Piscean singer Justin Bieber addressed a tweet to 56-year-old actor Tom Cruise, challenging him to a mixed martial arts cage fight. "If you don't take this fight," said Bieber, "you will never live it down." A few days later, Bieber retracted his dare, confessing that Cruise "would probably whoop my ass in a fight." If Bieber had waited until December 2020 to make his proposal, he might have had more confidence to follow through—and he might also have been better able to whoop Cruise's ass. You Pisceans are currently at the peak of your power and prowess.

"Pictures of perfection, as you know, make me sick and wicked," observed Sagittarian author Jane Austen. She wrote this confession in a letter to her niece, Fanny, whose boyfriend thought that the women characters in Jane's novels were too naughty. In the coming weeks, I encourage you Sagittarians to regard pictures of perfection with a similar disdain. To accomplish all the brisk innovations you have a mandate to generate, you must cultivate a deep respect for the messiness of creativity; you must understand that your dynamic imagination needs room to experiment with possibilities that may at first appear disorderly. For inspiration, keep in mind this quote from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich—"Wellbehaved women seldom make history."

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19): Capri-

corn novelist Anne Brontë (1820–1849) said, "Smiles and tears are so alike with me, they are neither of them confined to any particular feelings. I often cry when I am happy and smile when I am sad." I suspect you could have experiences like hers in the coming

news of the weird CREME DE LA WEIRD The Design Museum in London has included a "DIY meal kit" featuring steaks that could be grown from a diner's own human cells among the nominees in its Beazley Designs of the Year exhibit. Developers of the Ouroboros Steak envision that an individual will be able to harvest cells from their own cheek and feed them with serum derived from donated blood that has expired, Dezeen reported. After about three months, the steaks would be fully grown. "People think that eating oneself is cannibalism, which technically this is not," said Grace Knight, one of the designers. Researcher Orkan Telhan added, "Our design is scientifically and economically feasible but also ironic in many ways," he added. INEXPLICABLE Officers from Utah's Department of Public Safety were helping the Division of Wildlife Resources count bighorn sheep from a helicopter on Nov. 18 when a shiny object in the desert landscape caught their eye. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, turn around, turn around," one of the biologists shouted, according to pilot Bret Hutchings. KSL reported the crew landed and found a 10- to-12-foot-high silver monolith planted in the ground and tucked into a red-rock cove. After joking about extraterrestrials, the crew decided it looked manmade and took pictures, chalking it up to "some new wave artist ... a big '2001: A Space Odyssey' fan," Hutchings mused. COLLATERAL DAMAGE Police in Corvallis, Oregon, said Dylan Milota was high on marijuana when he crashed the 2019 Tesla S he was driving at more than 100 mph into a utility pole on Nov. 17, breaking the pole and spraying hundreds of small batteries through the windows of two nearby residences. One landed on a bed, starting a fire in the bedsheets, KMTR reported. A tire from the car struck the second story of a nearby apartment building so forcefully it broke water pipes inside the wall, destroying the bathroom on the other side and causing flooding in the lower level, police said. Citizens were warned not to pick up any stray batteries, which can stay hot for up to 24 hours and release toxic fumes. Milota fled on foot but was quickly apprehended and charged with various offenses. BRIGHT IDEA Matthew Piercey, 44, has been indicted on 31 federal felony counts related to a suspected Ponzi scheme, but when FBI agents tried to arrest him in Redding, California, on Nov. 16, he took off, authorities said. NBC News reported agents followed him to Lake Shasta, where Piercey pulled a $1,200 Yamaha 350LI Seascooter out of his vehicle, then disappeared into the frigid water, spending about 25 minutes "out of sight underwater where

law enforcement could only see bubbles," Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Hales wrote in court papers. The agents waited him out and arrested him when he resurfaced. Piercey faces up to 20 year in prison if convicted. THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS Evidence of election rigging in New Zealand's Bird of the Year competition has set organizers all atwitter, NPR reported. Officials at Forest & Bird, a conservation organization, noticed that more than 1,500 votes in the annual event had come from one email address on Nov. 9, all in favor of the spotted kiwi. "That is an amazing bird," spokeswoman Laura Keown said, "but ... these votes had to be disallowed, and they've been taken out of the competition." The disqualification cleared the way for the competition's eventual winner: the kakapo, or moss chicken, a rare nocturnal bird and the world's only flightless parrot. AWESOME! Josua Hutagalung, 33, was working outside his home in Sumatra in August when he got a surprise delivery: A meteorite crashed through his roof and landed outside. "When I lifted it, the stone was still warm, and I brought it into the house," the coffin-maker told local media. United Press International reported the 4.5-pound meteorite was a rare variety, valued by experts at almost $1.9 million, which attracted American expert Jared Collins, who paid more than $1 million for the rock. "I have also always wanted a daughter," Hutagalung said, "and I hope this is a sign that I will be lucky enough now to have one." He also plans to donate some of the funds to his local church's new building project. COMPELLING EXPLANATIONS French police in Lannion, Brittany, became suspicious when they spotted a man lurking near a parked car at a time when France's COVID-19 lockdown rules required him to be at home on Nov. 20. Upon questioning, the 39-year-old unnamed man produced the legally required "attestation," including his full name, the time he left home and his written-in reason for being out: to "smash a guy's face in." Local police chief Daniel Kerdraon said, "He was trying to fulfill the letter of the law, in his own way," The Guardian reported, "but we told him his reason for going out was not valid." He was fined not only for violating the curfew but also for being drunk in public. {in}
