ROSEANNE BARR Executives at ABC and its parent company, Disney, decided last week to pull the plug on the popular TV show "Roseanne" after the show's star tweeted a racist attack against a former African-American advisor in the Obama Administration. Barr tweeted, "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby= vj." "Roseanne" was the most popular new network show and was projected to bring in about $60 million in revenue to ABC next season. Barr later apologized for the remark and blamed the tweet on the sleeping drug Ambien. Sanofi, the maker of Ambien, responded on Twitter, "While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

ASHTON HAYWARD Can someone

explain why the mayor chose to use a recycling facility in Loxley, Ala., that cost more than twice what the Emerald Coast Utility Authority charges its municipal customers? And when the Loxley facility stopped processing the city's recycling last September, why did he not immediately work out an agreement with ECUA? Sending recyclables to the dump has been costly for the city. Hayward hinted on the radio that he didn't know about it, which leaves even more questions. His public information officer told the daily newspaper, "We value more than just the dollar amount when we enter into a contract." Meanwhile, the city increased its garbage and trash collection fee by 5.5 percent last year.

WORDS OF ADVICE On Thursday, June 7, I will participate in the Greater Pensacola Chamber's Campaign School, a program to help local candidates. The speakers include Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford, Andrew Wiggins, Senior Director of Campaigns and Elections for the Florida Chamber of Commerce, State Rep. Clay Ingram and me.

My topic is "Campaign Messaging and Working with the Media." I will share the same message that I've given the dozens who have stopped by the Inweekly offices over the past 19 years. The message hasn't changed much, and it has been the same regardless of political party or ideology.

I have been fortunate to have interviewed candidates for president, Congress, governor and the Florida Legislature, as well as all of our local offices. I respect anyone willing to put his or her name up for political office so when a candidate visits and asks me questions about running I try to answer them as frankly as possible.

The key to campaign messaging is knowing why you are running. A lot of people want to hold public office, but few are willing to do the work necessary to get elected—raise campaign funds, knock on doors, wave from street corners, and attend political forums.

Having a clear picture of why you want to hold a particular office will help push you to walk neighborhoods after a hard day's

work, to ring one more doorbell or wave a campaign sign in the rain.

It's often the first question I ask a potential candidate. Most will stumble through a rambling reply and cover issues that aren't part of the office they seek. I encourage them to get familiar with the duties and powers of the position and hone their reasons for running down to three or four key points.

What those points are is up to them. I recommend they talk with voters to help them refine their message based on what they hear.

As far as how to deal with the media, I tell them to do their research on the newspapers, radio and television stations in the market.

Find out how each will cover the primary and general elections. Will they interview all the candidates? Will they do endorsements? If you are sent a questionaire, complete and return it as soon as possible.

When confronted with thorny topics, answer questions truthfully. If you're faced with an issue that you aren't familiar with, ask for more time to research it, but let the reporter know when you will have an answer. If you don't want to answer, a "no comment" will suffice, but understand the reporter will still write an article. What a candidate shouldn't do is lie.

Some take my advice. Many don't. {in} rick@inweekly.net

AN ODD MEETING AT FRICKER

Jewel Cannada-Wynn with Mayor Ashton Hayward / Courtesy Photo

By Sammi Sontag Pensacola City Councilwoman Jewel Cannada-Wynn held an atypical town hall meeting for her District 7 on May 31 at the Fricker Resource Center. The meeting wasn't advertised on the city's website, and the media wasn't sent an announcement.

Cannada-Wynn told the attendees that she usually hosted "intimate meetings" with neighborhoods within her district, but she felt an open forum welcoming all created more transparency between the city and its constituents about current pressing topics.

"Well, every time I have these meetings, I think to myself, 'How can I make things work around here? What can I do to make everyone happy and just make things work,'" Cannada-Wynn said. "I sent out 450 postcards about the meeting tonight.

I usually only get about 20 people in these meetings, so for more than 30 to show up, that's progress."

"Well, every time I have these meetings, I think to myself, 'How can I make things work around here?'" Jewel Cannada-Wynn District 7 has 4, 488 registered voters, according to the Escambia Supervisor of Elections' office. The postcards covered roughly 10 percent of her constituents.

66

The town hall crowd was a mix of regular attendees with a sprinkle of new faces, she said. There were a handful of political figures in the audience as well, which Cannada-Wynn said was nice and refreshing.

Before she took questions from the audience, the councilwoman talked about the city of Pensacola's FY 2019 budget and how to revitalize parts of District 7.

Over the past years, the west side of Pensacola has been one of the busiest for new home construction. A Door Properties last month held an open house for its The Junction at West Hill development in the BelmontDeVilliers district. The units start at $221,000.

D.R. Horton has demolished the Hallmark Elementary School and is building townhomes that will start at $274,500.

ParsCo will begin this summer construction of 30 residences on the former W. A. Blount Junior High School site. The project had been delayed a year while the city worked out how to make some of the units affordable for law enforcement, firefighters, teachers and other workers. Each unit was originally projected to cost around $199,000.

On the economic development front, the councilwoman had been a big supporter of the fish hatchery proposed for Bruce Beach, which is in her district. The Gulf Coast Marine Fisheries Hatchery and Enhancement Center would have employ ed 10 people and lease the waterfront site for $50 a year. On June 5, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission requested the lease be cancelled due to lack of community support.

At an April town hall hosted by Commissioner Lumon May, Cannada-Wynn reaffirmed her support for the hatchery. She said it wasn't costing the taxpayers anything.

In regards to the FY 2019 budget, she said, "The city receives about $213-$229 million for the annual budget, but we share that with everything in Pensacola, so places like the airport or parks have a cut of that sum. That means by the end, the actual amount is closer to $55 million left for seven districts."

She continued to explain how that is a very small sum of money, and it's hard, but not impossible, to rejuvenate an area with such few dollars. She was optimistic about making active changes but refused to give exact details about specific projects such as the affordable housing program in District 7.

Last year, Cannada-Wynn tried to get about a dozen projects added to the Local Option Sales Tax budget, including improved lighting, sidewalks and security cameras in blighted communities and adding a second floor with educational facilities to the Fricker Center.

In July 2017, she proposed that $1.5 million in the LOST IV funding plan intended to renovate Legion Field by 2027 to be moved to an earlier date. She also asked $1 million in the LOST IV funds to support housing initiatives and homeownership programs.

Thanks to her effort, Legion Field is projected to receive $1.2 million next year. The Fricker Center will receive $300,000 in the current budget but nothing for a second-floor addition. However, she didn't bring up those specific projects at the town hall.

Cannada-Wynn opened the floor to community issues halfway through the meeting.

She placed baskets at the back of the room numbered one through seven and asked the attendees to write their concerns on a card and put them in the buckets. The first bucket was to contain top concern and the seventh bucket their least important issue.

She then pulled the cards from the buckets and addressed certain issues. By then, a majority of the audience had left, and only about 15 people remained. Only the issues in the first and second buckets were discussed.

"It's hard to please everyone. We don't have extra dollars, but my goal is to make it (development) happen." Cannada-Wynn "It's hard to please everyone," Cannada-Wynn told Inweekly after the meeting.

"We don't have extra dollars, but my goal is to make it (development) happen."

One constituent suggested the district add more street lighting. Others pushed to

build more sidewalks, but the majority liked the idea of development within neighborhoods, meaning creating more affordable housing, tearing down and rebuilding dilapidated homes/buildings and making use of empty lots.

"We are aware we need more affordable housing in that area (district 7)," Cannada-Wynn said.

However, she offered no specific plans for more affordable housing in District 7.

"We do have some housing issues, and we're making a plan for it. But right at the moment, there are 'x' number of dollars that goes into that (project)." Cannada-Wynn "We do have some housing issues, and we're making a plan for it," she said. "But right at the moment, there are 'x' number of dollars that goes into that (project). I can't give you a clear picture right now, so I'll refer you to Helen Gibson who serves with the CRA." A heated exchange arose when the new Bayview Community Center was brought up. A handful of attendees did not want to see the center completed. Instead, they want an immediate end to construction and reallocation of funds from the multimillion-dollar center.

"We are the constituents, and we're the priority when comes to these issues," said Gloria Horning, who is vice president of the Tanyard Neighborhood Association.

Cannada-Wynn avoided any further the questions, comments and concerns regarding the Bayview Community Center, insisting that any further remarks should be taken up with her in a private meeting or with the mayor.

"I think Bayview will be nice, and I am not going to be put in a political issue with whether or not we should have it," she told the group. "When I talk to the mayor about my issues, (the Bayview Community Center) will be one of them, but I'm not going to be put to this position now."

Cannada-Wynn ended the meeting with an open invitation to future city council meetings.

"We (the city and civilians) need to talk," she told Inweekly. "Transparency between us is a good way to make sure everyone is as happy as possible."

At least one attendee wasn't happy with the councilwoman's responses. Dan Lindemann, owner of A & J Mugs and a District 7 resident, wrote Inweekly, "I went to the meeting and learned that my councilwoman does not care what we want and that she will vote the way she wants."

He added, "That's what she said. I wish I was kidding." {in} inweekly.net

VTMAE ERA BEGINS

Eye Care Needs!

Harrell thinks VTMAE will be a significant catalyst in promoting change and growth in the Pensacola area.

"It's laudable what they're doing," he said of VTMAE. "It warms my heart to watch these students graduate and go to work right here in Pensacola, especially if in the future they can take their skills to a global company like VTMAE."

After years of combined community effort, Pensacola landed a new aerospace engineering facility, VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering, Inc. (VTMAE). And on Friday, June 8, the company will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Pensacola International Airport to celebrate the shared success for both Northwest Florida and VTMAE. "VTMAE really represents high-quality products and reliability in the aerospace engineering world," Bill Hafner, president of VTMAE, told Inweekly. "We work to create state of the art goods while maintaining a wholesome work environment for our employees."

The $46 million maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility is capable of serving a number of aircrafts such as Airbus A320 planes as well as Boeing 757s and 777s, Hafner said.

The new hanger will employ over 400 people in years to come. And there is already prospect of future facility expansions.

VTMAE is based in Mobile, Ala., and provides aircraft maintenance and modification (AMM) services for commercial and airfreight aircraft. It is a global company and is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) as an approved repair station. VTMAE has been operating for 26 years and employs more than 1,000 people.

When VTMAE decided to grow, there was steep competition among cities for a facility site, according to Hafner. There was a lot to consider. Money, space and a true desire for the company all played into the decision, but, in the end, the "Cradle of Aviation" made the cut.

"Pensacola really stood out when we were looking to expand," Hafner said. "It had the space we needed, the dedication to growth we desired and the community was so welcoming."

For over six years, FloridaWest worked alongside VTMAE to create the Pensacola facility. But the project was a collaborative effort, according to FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth.

"We (Pensacola) continued to prove as a community that we had the commitment

to the long-term success of the company and the prospect of promising future employment," Luth said.

Teams from the state, city, county, school system, airport and handfuls of others worked closely and diligently to make VTMAE feel as though it had a home in Pensacola, he said.

EDUCATION COMPONENT

Luth stressed the importance of education in Pensacola and the fundamental role it plays in growing the middle class and creating future jobs.

Superintendent Malcolm Thomas, the school district and FloridaWest came together to build an environment that could support the new MRO facility, according to Steven Harrell, the Curriculum Specialist in the Workforce Education for Escambia County School District. He pointed out the role of the career academy at Booker T. Washington High School in helping to attract VTMAE to the area.

"The Aviation Maintenance Career Academy has been partners with VTMAE outside of Pensacola for a few years," Harrell said. "If we didn't have our training program, Pensacola would not have been as desirable for VTMAE." The Aviation Maintenance Career Academy at Washington High School helps students gain skills in the aviation technician field. The academy prepares students for the George Stone Technical Center, where they can complete a two-year program to become federally licensed as an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) technician, according to Harrell.

"An A&P license is key to an aviation job and can take a long time to get," he said. "But our program helps to train students for future schooling and provides them with internships to get them excited about working in the aviation technology field."

Harrell believes the opportunities VTMAE will provide to future students are remarkable.

"This is the Aviation Maintenance Academy's third year, and each year it grows a little," Harrell said. "We have 30 students now, but with VTMAE arriving, I think our program will blow up. Our goal is to one day have 150 students enrolled in this academy."

VTMAE is also here to boost the economy, said David Penzone, a consultant who has represented the mayor's office on this project.

"Economically, this is a huge win for the city," Penzone said. "Not only are we employing 400 people, but we're also helping indirect jobs in, for example, the housing industry, insurance industry and hospitality industry.

There are over 1,000 new indirect jobs that will be significantly impacted in the northwest Florida region."

Bill Hafner said he understands that there will be significant economic growth within the area.

"Well, I'm no economist," he joked, "When I saw the numbers, I was really, really impressed."

The June 8 ribbon cutting ceremony will celebrate the new facility and is also a chance to commend all who were directly and indirectly involved in the creation of the hanger.

"Going back, VTMAE was one of the very first development projects I worked on when I came to Pensacola," Luth said. "And I have a lot of pride in this project's evolution. Working with this global company has been so rewarding."

The VTMAE facility has been in the works since 2011. The final facility is 174,000 square feet on 19 acres. The company is creating work opportunities within the area and would like eventually to facilitate an annual payroll of $13 million, according to Luth.

Students from the Aviation Maintenance Career Academy will be at the ceremony, along with other local officials, CEOs and those involved in the creation of the hanger.

"All the movers and shakers of the community will be at the ceremony Friday," Penzone said. "It's going to be a great event."

Meanwhile, work already has begun to plan the next phase of VTMAE in Pensacola, and Hafner confirmed the prospect of future expansion.

Penzone said depending on Triumph Gulf Coast funding, the city would like to add three or more hangers to the current facility, which would create over 1,300 jobs. Though this project would be four or five years down the road, it is important to recognize the growth doesn't stop at one facility, according to Penzone.

"This is just the beginning of greater things to come," he said. "The VTMAE is a world leader in MRO services. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform Pensacola. Our city is going to grow and change for the better." {in} inweekly.net

John Appleyard / Courtesy Photo APPLEYARD SIGNED Blue Wahoos Owner Quint Studer announced last Friday that the team had signed 95-year-old John Appleyard to a five-year, no-cut contract as a color announcer for the Sunday Blue Wahoos broadcasts.

"Mr. Appleyard is an incredible storyteller who has great knowledge of Pensacola baseball history," said Studer. "He will be a great addition to our award-winning broadcast team."

"Mr. Appleyard is an incredible storyteller who has great knowledge of Pensacola baseball history. He will be a great addition to our award-winning broadcast team." Quint Studer Appleyard will join broadcast play-byplay announcer Tommy Thrall in the middle innings of every Sunday home game.

"Mr. Appleyard joined us in the booth for a game a few weeks ago, and we had great feedback from our listeners," said Thrall. "He adds so many great stories to the broadcast that I have to remind myself to keep focused on the action on the field. Quint and I discussed adding him to our team and are thrilled to have him at Sunday games."

New Wahoos co-owner Derrick Brooks commented, "I worked for Mr. Appleyard during the summer of my senior year at FSU. I looked forward to my time with him listening to stories about Pensacola. He is a great storyteller who knows the history of our hometown."

The Wahoos radio broadcasts can be heard on 97.1 The Ticket, and Sunday games are simulcast on BlabTV. "I'm honored to be asked to join the broadcast team. Quint is known for his visionary thinking, and if I fulfill the five-year contract, I will be 100 years old and broadcasting Wahoos games in their second decade of play," said Appleyard. "When you negotiate a contract at age 95, your biggest concern is parking, and I've been assured I will have a good parking spot."

RECYCLING APOLOGY During an interview on NewsRadio 1620 yesterday, Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward apologized for the recycling debacle that was uncovered in early May. He also intimated that he wasn't aware the city had stopped sending its recyclables in September 2017.

(Read Inweekly, "Trash Talk," 5/10/18) "One of the things I want to say on this show, Andrew (McKay, the show's host), I want to apologize to the citizens of Pensacola that I serve," said Hayward when the host brought up recycling. "You know, I was angry

and most importantly upset that we weren't ... 'cause I believe in recycling more."

The mayor then began talking about the declining international market for recyclables, citing a New York Times article by Livia Albeck-Ripka. The May 29 article reported that plastics and papers from dozens of American cities and towns are being dumped in landfills after China stopped recyclables.

The mayor said, "January 1, (China) banned imports, so it's been very difficult for America and a lot of these small towns and, of course, big cities to find a place to put this, and it's become a hazard."

Hayward didn't explain why the city renewed its agreement with Tarpon Paper in Loxley, Ala., last year, even though the ECUA facility at the Perdido Landfill was closer and cheaper. Plus, ECUA would handle glass, while the Loxley facility wouldn't.

He didn't discuss the city's decision to not immediately switch to ECUA last September—three months before China announced its decision. However, Hayward did admit that it has cost the city more to send the recyclables to the dump rather than process them at ECUA's Materials Recycling Facility.

McKay asked on the radio, "It's been costing more to send it to the dump, right?"

Mayor Hayward replied, "Yeah, absolutely."

SPICE CONVICTIONS VACATED On

May 25, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated the convictions against Pensacola natives Burton Ritchie and Ben Galecki on multiple counts related to their distribution of spice.

The judges vacated the convictions because the federal government would not allow Dr. Arthur Berrier to testify at the trial. Berrier, an employee of the Drug Enforcement Agency, had previously opined that UR-144, the active ingredient in Ritchie and Galecki's product, was not analogue under the Controlled Substance Analogue Enforcement Act. The government had claimed deliberative process privilege, which the lower court upheld. The Appellate Court found the government had waived any reliance on that privilege.

Ritchie and Galecki operated Zencense Incense Works, LLC. Its distribution network reached across most of the U.S., including the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. Zencense, which later changed its name to ZenBio, experimented with several formulas and finally settled on XLR-11 and UR-144. In July 2012, DEA agents raided the company's operations in Las Vegas.

The government alleged that XLR-11 and UR-144 were analogues of JWH-018, a Schedule I controlled substance. At trial, Ritchie and Galecki presented testimony that their ingredients weren't analogues to JWH-018 and that they didn't know the substances were similar in chemical structure. The jury convicted them on all counts.

In the appeal, the defendants showed that Dr. Berrier's opinion on UR-144 was freely available online and, therefore, should not have been considered privileged. He should have been allowed to testify at their trial.

The court ruled, "Because the district court erred in concluding that the deliberative process privilege shielded Dr. Berrier from testifying, we vacate the defendants' convictions and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion."

NORTON JOINS CITY WEAR-TV reporter Allie Norton announced last week that she was leaving the television station to take a job with the city of Pensacola, starting Monday, June 4. Norton recently had been named the "Media Person of the Year" by the local chapter of the Florida Public Relations Association.

On her blog, Norton said the pay had gotten slightly better as she had moved to three different markets. She had worked for the local ABC affiliate for two years.

"But the job I used to love doing, my heart just is not in it anymore," she wrote. "I am glad, however, that I accepted (a new job) and decided to make a change before I became bitter and took my choices for granted."

PTR SAVES In 2017, the Santa Rosa

County Pretrial Release (PTR) Program generated an estimated net savings of $2,332,844 for Santa Rosa County, an approximately $870,000 increase in savings from the previous year.

The Santa Rosa County PTR Program functions under the direction of the Donald Spencer, Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, with the day-to-day supervision provided by the director of the Santa Rosa County Probation Department. Costs of the program are offset by the collection of a one-time $50 administrative fee and drug/alcohol testing fees paid by individuals in the program.

"This savings generated from the Pretrial Release Program is returned directly into Santa Rosa County's General Fund."

Donald Spencer "This savings generated from the Pretrial Release Program is returned directly into Santa Rosa County's General Fund," said Spencer. "The program is very beneficial to the individuals that are enrolled because it allows them to remain on their June 7, 2018

jobs to care for their families and provides a large financial savings for our county."

The PTR savings is based on 282 people in the program in 2017 for an aggregate total of approximately 42,002 days of not being incarcerated.

PUB HONORED The Florida Trust for

The City of Milton's Historic Preservation Board nominated Brew Angels Pub for its recent conversion of the Old Milton Post Office that preserved the building as a cherished civic icon that still plays an essential role in the historic downtown.

Historically, local post office buildings played an essential role in the life of their communities, serving as both a hub for communication and a gathering place.

Brew Angels Pub allows the building to continue in these roles by creating a space for friends, families and local artists. The adapted building is a community destination for the historic downtown, serving as common destination and gathering place for residents and visitors and a gateway into the National Register Historic District of Milton.

BBBS LICENSE PLATE CAMPAIGN Big

Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida is partnering with the Escambia County Tax Collector's Office to promote the sale of their specialty license plate. A portion of the proceeds for each sale will be donated to the agency.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida matches at-risk youth with caring adult mentors. The mentors, also called "Bigs," provide their mentees, called "Littles," with both emotional support and schoolwork assistance. In Escambia County, there are currently more than 250 active matches.

The program improves life outcomes.

Last year, of all the Littles matched six months or longer, 97 percent remained crime free, and 88 percent maintained or improved their school attendance.

"It costs about $3 a day to support each match," said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida CEO Paula Shell. "One way the community can help offset these costs is to purchase our license plate. "

"It costs about $3 a day to support each match. One way the community can help offset these costs is to purchase our license plate." Paula Shell Escambia County Tax Collector Scott Lunsford added, "The purchase of a Big Brothers Big Sisters specialty license plate is an investment in our community and the ability of a child to succeed in life."

On The Lookout

Summer Events Worth Getting Into A Routine For Sometimes the things that make summer summer—like longer days and rising temperatures—are also the things that make it hard to get through. But luckily for us locals, there are tons of routine-worthy events worth getting out of the house for.

And we know the word routine doesn't exactly scream summer fun, but we think it can, especially when the routine in question involves things like seeing a ballgame or taking in live music with a Gulf view. That's why we are encouraging you to get into a routine this summer—a routine centered around some of the regularly scheduled events that are easy to take for granted or forget about because they happen so often.

— Musical Nights — Whether it's a date night or a family outing, these two live music series create the perfect opportunity for a relaxing summer routine.

Beach Vibes

Pensacola Beach's popular outdoor concert series Bands on the Beach is already in full swing this season, with a full roster of music every Tuesday evening all summer long and well into the fall too. Located at the Gulfside Pavilion, the series features regional artists performing weekly through the last week of October.

'New Name, New Sounds'

By Joshua Dylan Carroll

The first signs of summer trigger an annual metamorphosis in Pensacola's DIY community. The influx of visitors fuel hectic workdays, with surges of success and stress for those behind the counter. When the sun sets, both patrons and workers seek relief, to drink and chat, in an ever-growing number of downtown establishments. By the time the season peaks, the lights on Palafox will burn late into the night at max capacity beer halls and slick cocktail hangs. Across Garden Street, the vegan haunt on Belmont has summer plans of its own.

On its way into a second summer, chizuko has established itself as a crucial component in Pensacola's DIY community and as a welcome change to the downtown area's prototypical (and increasingly predictable) nightlife.

In the first months of 2018, it has hosted an impressive series of national acts: Screaming Females, Bike Thief and The HIRS Collec-

tive, among others. It has also proven itself instrumental in acting as a breeding ground for a new slew of Pensacola bands.

While helping to curate a space for higher profile touring artists in the above ground scene, it has honored the necessary role of collaborating with local artists and promoters to bring bands to the city. For Northwest Florida, the long-standing DIY and punk circuit of the Southeast is the wellspring that sustains the larger live music scene as a whole.

Austin Williamson is one of those promoters and is bringing the Philadelphia powerhouse Maddogg (formerly Mahatma X) to chizuko this week. Coming off the release of their newest album, "Social Capital," Maddogg will play their sixth show on their appropriately titled Changing of the Guard tour in Pensacola.

The night will also feature longtime friend of Pensacola, Big Lo, with support from Eterniti Everlasting and CxxxLxxx. Williamson will also be performing under the moniker Johnny Panic, which has been his main project for the past few years.

"The hip-hop scene here has always been small," says Williamson. "Thanks to Lo and others, it has been able to gradually grow. I'm not especially active in the process, but I am planning to start booking rap shows semiregularly in the later half of the year."

Pensacola's venues have traditionally thrived on the idea that allowing locals to autonomously book touring acts will foster a mutually beneficial scene. This creates an environment that allows a more intuitive approach to booking artists, without the pre-

requisites that bog down more straight-laced concert halls. Like the larger DIY circuit itself, Pensacola's scene shifts rapidly, and artists can wind up in the city in unexpected ways.

"Last summer, we were touring the South and drove through Pensacola on our way to Baton Rouge," says Jahred Scott, vocalist for Maddogg. "We were mad surprised at how many DIY artists, especially hip hop ones, were based in Central and North Florida.

Seeing that made us want to come back."

"We were mad surprised at how many DIY artists, especially hip hop ones, were based in Central and North Florida. Seeing that made us want to come back."

Jahred Scott Maddogg began with the project of the artist MALK, a solo musician who created largely instrumental pieces before the formation of the band. Scott started collaborating on these original tracks, and the band was slowly formed into an ensemble, with MALK acting as producer. They now exist as a full group, with MALK's twin brother Henry Becker on drums. The experimental trio creates lush, hypnotic tones, routinely interrupted by clashing noise. Songs are overlaid with Scott's naturalistic low-toned vocals and move at an unpredictable pace, like a radio dial being

run across old AM stations. The result is dreamlike, with images of a city come alive after dark. The band has a full life of it's own in the records and videos but has other elements that are fully realized on stage.

"The DIY scene has treated us well on tour. Being from a bigger city, you don't always expect much out of these smaller towns or cities we sometimes play," Scott explains. "People have been mad supportive of each other and supportive of us as newcomers whenever we come through."

The band recently released a video for the song "Function" after deciding to change their name from Mahatma X. The music videos they have released so far serve as more than just acting as visual accessories to the songs, which themselves are cut from larger conceptions.

"We always have a lot of music to work with. It's just a matter of finalizing everything and putting together a cohesive album that sounds the best we can have it sound. Right now, that's definitely the focus. With us changing our group name, it's kind of a 'new name, new sounds' vibe and focus right now. {in}

DIFFERENCE MAKERS 2018 TAKE STOCK IN CHILDREN SCHOLARSHIPS

Take Stock in Children and the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation awarded $300,000 in scholarships at the May 29 "Graduation & Unsung Hero Celebration" at Skopelos at New World. Sponsored by Cox Communications and the Studer Family Children's Hospital at Sacred Heart, the event honored 21 graduating seniors who received 4-year tuition scholarships and a laptop computer.

The following day, Take Stock in Children and the Santa Rosa Education Foundation awarded over $350,000 in scholarships to 25 graduating seniors who received four-year tuition scholarships. The event was held at the Hilton Pensacola Beach and sponsored by Julian and Kim MacQueen, Innisfree Hotels, Wells Fargo Foundation, Jo-Ann and Michael Price, Price Family Private Foundation, and Wes Dannreuther, Intracoastal Outfitters. Local area students also raised money to give each senior an Apple Laptop and a North Face Backpack, along.

Take Stock in Children was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization in Florida that provides an opportunity for deserving low-income students to escape the cycle of poverty through education. Scholarships are funded through a public-private fundraising model in which local scholarship donations are matched by the Florida Prepaid College Foundation when the scholarships are purchased.

news of the weird IT'S A DEAD LANGUAGE In Charleston, South Carolina, Cara Koscinski and her whole family were looking forward to her son Jacob's May 19 graduation party. The Post and Courier reported he had excelled in his Christian-based homeschool program, earning a 4.79 GPA and the summa cum laude distinction, an honor Koscinski included in the wording on the cake she ordered online from her local Publix store.

When the software informed her "profane/ special characters (are) not allowed," Koscinski made clear that phrase was Latin, meaning "with the highest distinction," and even included a link to a website explaining it. Still, when the cake arrived, it read: "Congratulations Jacob! Summa ___ laude Class of 2018." Jacob was embarrassed, and Koscinski had to tell her 70-year-old mother why the store had censored the word. Publix offered to remake the cake, but as Koscinski noted, "You only graduate once."

IRONIES Police officers in North Ridgeville, Ohio, were sure the man who called them at 5:26 a.m. on May 19 to report being followed by a pig was impaired and hallucinating. But sure enough, the Associated Press reported, officers on the scene found a completely sober man, walking home from the Elyria Amtrak station with a pig trailing behind him. The department's Facebook page reported that Patrolman Kuduzovic wrangled the oinker into the back seat of his cruiser and later secured it in the station's dog kennels, where the owner later retrieved it.

"Also," the post noted, "we will mention the irony of the pig in a police car now so that anyone that thinks they're funny is actually unoriginal and trying too hard." Touche.

OOPS! Lyons, New York, resident Jesse Graham, 53, must have been surprised when deputies of the Wayne County Sheriff's Department appeared at his door on May 11. WHEC TV reported that Graham, a fugitive wanted by the Mooresville (North Carolina) Police Department, had apparently accidentally dialed 911, summoning the deputies himself. Graham was charged with being a fugitive from justice and possession of marijuana, and he awaits extradition to North Carolina.

•In Lawrence, Kansas, architecture students designed a new bike rack for the Prairie Acre Ribbon Classroom, the first outdoor classroom at the University of Kansas. The metal rack features the letters P-A-R-C, but viewed from another vantage point, they spell C-R-A-P. Social media lit up after a photo was posted May 13, including, "It'll make a fine bike rack.

Crap a diem!" Project PARC KU responded: "The photograph shown is not the intended vantage point, nor is it the message of our project," but at press time, the university had not announced any action, according to the Wichita Eagle-Beacon.

ANGER MANAGEMENT Frustration with the cable company boiled over in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on May 7, when a dispute between an Optimum employee and a woman left the cable worker stranded on high.

While the employee was in an elevated bucket working on lines, northjersey.com reported, a 59-year-old woman turned off the truck and "took utility property" before walking away, making it impossible for the worker to lower the bucket. Ridgeview police charged the woman with harassment, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing.

•Dymund Ellis, 19, was charged with stabbing and killing her roommate, Jace Trevon Ernst, 25, in North Las Vegas, Nevada, after a May 4 argument. According to North Las Vegas Police, Ellis became upset after Ernst repeatedly talked while she tried to watch a TV show, telling him to "shut up." When he responded with an expletive, she went to the kitchen for a knife, reported Fox News.

Police said Ellis had threatened Ernst with a knife about 10 times in the last couple of months, but he had been able to get the knife away from her. Ellis told an officer that "she has anger problems and she just got extremely upset tonight."

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Comrades in arms Mike Mulligan, Michael Martin and Emma St. Claire made the mistake of leaving their burglary booty visible in their car in Nevada City, California. So on May 16, when they were stopped by a Grass Valley Police officer, the prosthetic arm officers spotted pointed the finger at them as the perpetrators of a Nevada County home burglary the previous week. On its Facebook page, the Nevada County Sheriff's office described the limb as "the exact arm that was stolen in the burglary." All three were booked into the Wayne Brown Correctional Facility in Nevada City, Fox News reported, and the arm has been returned to a "very appreciative owner."

•Deputy Henry Guzman with the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Florida made his first mistake when he shoplifted—three days in a row—from a Lauderdale Lakes Walmart. His second, and perhaps more devastating, mistake was wearing his uniform while doing so. Guzman, a 13-year veteran of the department, stole DVDs and "Star Wars" action figures valued at about $200, WSVN reported. He was arrested on May 21 and charged with three misdemeanor counts of petty theft. {in}
