NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION A Leon County circuit judge refused the state's request to dismiss a lawsuit challenging part of the state's 2011 gun pre-emption law that made it illegal for cities or counties to enact gun reform laws. The lawsuit, joined by more than 30 local governments, was filed after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. The plaintiffs in the suit argued that the penalties imposed by the Florida Legislature for violating the pre-emption statute were unconstitutional on a series of grounds and have had a 'chilling effect' on local officials considering gun restrictions.

RALLY FOR PEACE On the morning of Saturday, Oct. 27, Robert Bowers, age 46, interrupted a service at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, according to authorities. Armed with an assault rifle and three handguns, he killed 11 worshipers, whose ages ranged from 54 to 97, while shouting hate for Jews.

Six additional people, including four law enforcement officers, were in the 20-minute attack in the synagogue in the affluent Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The neighborhood is the Jewish hub of Pittsburgh, with more than half of Greater Pittsburgh's Jewish community living there. The area has a dozen synagogues, ranging from orthodox to conservative, as well as some Jewish private schools.

Bowers has been charged with 29 criminal counts, including 11 federal hate-crime charges.

Another 11 counts of using a firearm to kill carry a maximum penalty of death.

Law enforcement and the media have tried to piece together who the long-haul trucker is. It's been alleged that Bowers posted antiSemitic rants on social media, including Gab, a fringe website favored by white nationalists.

He also wrote about conspiracy theories and his opposition to the migrant caravan. Bowers apparently didn't vote for President Donald Trump in 2016, claiming Trump was too soft on those of Jewish faith.

Bowers was eventually taken into custody after being shot multiple times in a shootout with the Pittsburgh police. He had his court appearance on Monday, Oct. 29. Bower is

being held without bond. Federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty, the Associated Press reported.

The mass shooting in Pittsburgh is the deadliest attack on Jews in this country in our history. The United States has been considered a safe, welcoming place for those who practice Judaism. However, the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit formed in 1913 to stop the defamation of the Jewish people, has seen a rise of antiSemitic attacks, particularly online.

"The online public sphere—now a primary arena for communication about American politics— has become progressively unhospitable for Jewish Americans," the ADL concluded in its recent report on amplification of anti-Semitic harassment online.

"Prior to the election of President Donald Trump, anti-Semitic harassment and attacks were rare and unexpected, even for Jewish Americans who were prominently situated in the public eye. Following his election, anti-Semitism has become normalized, and harassment is a daily occurrence."

I don't blame President Trump for Bower's heinous attack. However, he must condemn anyone who spews such hatred. The freedom of religion is a fundamental belief upon which our nation was founded.

The president needs to lead multi-denominational services for peace and healing, not political rallies. The first one should be in Pensacola on Saturday. {in} rick@inweekly.net

NAVY MODERNIZES TRAINING

Rear Admiral Kyle Cozad meets with the Navy's RRL steering committee Oct. 3 in Pensacola. / Photo by Carla M. McCarthy, U.S. Navy

By Jeremy Morrison The United States Navy has been training America's sailors for more than 200 years.

To sharpen that experience for recruits, as well as the Navy itself, the military branch is currently overhauling its training process.

"The vision here is that their training is going to be more relevant, more effective," explained Rear Adm. Kyle Cozad, National Education Training Command (NETC) commander. "We're just looking at the science of learning so we can better train our sailors."

This overhaul undertaking, dubbed Ready, Relevant Learning, or RRL, is occurring as part of the Navy's overall Sailor 2025 effort, which aims to more effectively recruit, train and retain the service's future force. The RRL Executive Steering Committee, charged with overseeing the process, recently met for the first time in Pensacola.

During the Oct. 3 meeting, Cozad, who co-leads the committee, summed up the mission of RRL. The Rear Admiral explained how the Navy's "industrial, conveyer-belt-training model" is being modernized.

"The goal here is a simple one—to ensure that sailors have the right technical skills at the right time during their careers," Cozad said during the meeting. "We aim to provide sailors with more hands-on training, reps and sets of practice in simulations, on gamingbased computers and eventually, bringing that technical training to the waterfront or the flight line, which will better prepare our sailors to succeed in the fleet."

More recently, Cozad offered some insight into the rationale and motivation behind the Navy's change in its approach to training sailors. He explained the organization's aim toward improving its offerings.

"We'd like to consider ourselves a learning organization, and a learning organization always looks to the future—how can we do this better?" Cozad said, noting that the training overhaul will ultimately result in "a better experience for the sailors."

One of the reasons the Navy is intent on retooling its training program is the same reason any organization or business might choose to evaluate and evolve— competition. The Navy is not only in competition for recruits but also for the right type of recruits and wants to make the naval service an attractive option for today's tech-savvy prospects.

"There's competition to recruit the people with the right technical skills and then retain those people, so the Navy gets a proper return on investment." Kyle Cozad "There's just tremendous competition," Cozad said. "There's competition to recruit the people with the right technical skills and then retain those people, so the Navy gets a proper return on investment."

That proper return on investment is another reason the Navy is reorganizing its

training process. Traditionally, the service has provided a wide array of training to sailors at the beginning of their tenure.

From basic training to much more technical aspects of the job, sailors were expected to take in a wealth of knowledge from the get-go.

"They gave me all my training up front," recalled Cmdr. James Stockman, public affairs officer with NETC. This up-front model, or front-loading of training, has a couple of drawbacks.

The first involves the Navy's return-on-investment issue. With an approximately 50 percent turnover rate, many sailors exited the service before using or needing some of the more technical or niche instruction.

"You're spending a lot of money on folks, and how many of them are staying for a full career?" Stockman said.

The other drawback associated with offering so much training up front is that sailors would often learn a particular skill and then not need to call back that knowledge for a couple of years, at which point they don't readily remember the instruction.

This is what Bill Marvel, now retired from the Navy, calls "learning atrophy."

"It was front-loaded," Marvel said of a sailor's education, "so they received training that they might not use in the first few years of their careers."

Marvel is serving as RRL program manager for NETC. He stressed that although the Navy will be imparting less of its instruction inventory at the onset of a sailor's career, recruits shouldn't expect a

diminished education but rather a streamlined and more efficient experience.

"We're still giving them a well-rounded knowledge foundation," Marvel said.

"We're giving them the knowledge closer to the time they'll need it, not trying to reach back two years."

In addition to reorganizing when a sailor receives particular instruction, a sizable aspect of this RRL initiative is the embracing of technology in its training mission. While the Navy has employed technological advancements into its training regiment, much of its instruction is imparted as it has been for generations, what Cozad referred to as an "industrial, conveyer-belt model" during the local steering committee meeting.

"We've run off a very industrial model for a long time," Cozad repeated later.

"Today, we're still very classroom, very brick-and-mortar."

As part of the RRL initiative, sailors will increasingly be trained in taking advantage of the fruits of technology. In addition to absorbing instruction in the classroom, students will also log considerable time in virtual environments and simulators. This will not only be more cost effective for the Navy but also offer the student the opportunity to practice particular skills repeatedly before being asked to perform them in a real-world environment.

Marvel recalled how sailors previously approached submarine training—boning up in a classroom until finally making it into the field— then contrasted that with the newer path, which sees students gaining mastery of their submarine training during hours in a simulator.

"Technology makes this more feasible," Marvel said.

In the coming years, the Navy will be refining its training via this RRL initiative. The expectations are that the streamlined process will better suit both the service and the sailor.

"This is a big change to the way we train our sailors. I believe it will be beneficial to our sailors and beneficial to our Navy." Bill Marvel "This is a big change to the way we train our sailors," Marvel said. "I believe it will be beneficial to our sailors and beneficial to our Navy."

Cozad said that he's "pretty energized" about the changes being instituted. He recalled his own naval training and then pondered how the training his son is now receiving might compare.

"I've got a son in the Navy," he said. "I wish I had the opportunities that he's going to have over the next several years." {in} To learn more about the Navy's Ready, Relevant Learning initiative, visit public. navy.mil/usff/rrl. inweekly.net

PAPANTONIO AND THE DEVIL

By Duwayne Escobedo When DuPont first introduced products to American consumers under its Teflon trademark in 1946, it decided to use a manmade chemical extremely toxic to humans.

Developing a safe chemical would cost too much, so a company document advised it would be better to stick to "the devil we know."

Mike Papantonio, a prominent trial lawyer, said DuPont files over the years linked cancer to perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, commonly known as C8.

"Well, God didn't make C8. DuPont made C8, and the only place you get C8 is from a manufacturing process," Papantonio

said in an interview with Inweekly. "DuPont for so long was trying to tell this story that there's no issue here."

"The Devil We Know" documentary has earned accolades from at least a dozen film festivals across the globe for chronicling one of the biggest environmental scandals of our time. It has been shown to cause cancer, organ failure, birth defects and other illnesses. Both the Sundance and Sun Valley film festivals lauded the film by Stephanie Soechtig as one of the top documentaries released this year.

Papantonio said the filmmakers approached him when they realized just how big the disaster had become, especially in the Ohio River Valley. Thanks to Teflon's popularity, nearly everyone on Earth has had some exposure to the toxic chemical.

"These people that were actually seeing how the case was unfolding said, 'This needs to be a documentary,' and so they approached me," Papantonio said. "They saw the facts of the first trial, and I think everybody that saw those documents, they were just flabbergasted by the conduct and the callousness of DuPont."

At first, Teflon applications were projected as endless, benefiting aerospace, electronics and other industry. It did end up in many consumer products, too, such as microwave popcorn bags, waterproof clothing,

nonstick cookware, food packaging, carpets and many other items. Even worse, it leaked into public drinking water from DuPont's C8 plant in Parkersburg, W. Va., which had used the chemical since the 1950s.

"Gee, there's no science on this. Therefore, everything must be OK," Papantonio said. "That is the typical water facility and water district kind of reaction."

"Gee, there's no science on this.

Therefore, everything must be OK. That is the typical water facility and water district kind of reaction." Mike Papantonio Levin Papantonio participated in the $671 million cash settlement in February 2017 to about 3,550 personal injury claims involving the widespread leak of Teflon.

The litigation was consolidated in federal court in Columbus, Ohio.

Of course, both DuPont and its subsidiary, The Chemours Company, denied any wrongdoing.

In separate lawsuits, the law firm's C8 team earned a $12.5 million judgment from DuPont for cancer patient Kenneth Vigneron—the largest punitive award yet in the multidistrict litigation involving the hazardous chemical.

Additionally, testicular cancer patient David Freeman earned $5.1 million in compensatory damages in July 2016. Carla Bartlett, who suffered kidney cancer, was awarded $1.6 million in October 2015.

The giant chemical company and regulators agreed to phase out C8 in 2003 and finally ended its use in 2014 in the United States. This past month, the United Nations issued a ban that would take effect in 181 countries in 2019.

In DuPont's own files, document after document reveals a risk of cancer with C8.

Documents noted the chemical is "highly toxic"; "statistically significant excess of cancers"; "C8 could be affecting DNA"; and "long-term human health effects."

At one point, it became so bad that women who worked around C8 in the West Virginia plant were removed because birth defects were such a problem. But new management took over and put the women right back to work, said Papantonio, who has tried environmental cases for 35 years.

But for 50 years, DuPont managed to cover up the health risks associated with Teflon.

"There was no potential risk to women," said Dr. Bruce Karrh, a DuPont medical director in 2001, in "The Devil We Know."

"There was a potential risk to the fetus."

In part, Papantonio blamed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for giving DuPont free reign. The documentary quoted Mike McCabe, a former deputy administrator, looking down at the stand as he confirmed DuPont told EPA regulators to report "products sold under the Teflon brand are safe," and the agency complied.

"DuPont is a lawless company," he said.

"This is a sociopathic company, and I don't mean that lightly in any way."

He added, "I've been going to war with EPA virtually in every case because they won't do their job. They're owned by industry, and we don't recognize that." {in}

ST ENGINEERING DEAL INKED This past weekend, FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth and Escambia County Board of County Commission Chairman Jeff Bergosh were among the participants in a historic Memorandum of Understanding agreement signing between Vincent Chong, president & CEO of ST Engineering Aerospace, and Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward.

Valued at $210 million, the expansion will be funded by several state and federal organizations, with ST Engineering Aerospace investing $35 million.

Under the agreement, ST Engineering Aerospace and the City of Pensacola will begin to develop the MRO campus in 2022. It will consist of three wide-body aircraft hangars that will be adjacent to the present MRO site.

"This project could produce an additional 1,325 direct, good-paying full-time jobs with benefits as well as 3,400 indirect jobs—which may add more than $400 million yearly to personal incomes in our county," said County Commission Chairman Bergosh.

The Triumph Gulf Coast Board of Directors has approved a $56 million grant to the City of Pensacola for the development of the MRO campus, but the award is dependent on Mayor Hayward raising a $154 million match by the end of the year. The ST Engineering agreement provides $35 million, and the mayor has $4 million from Governor's Job Growth Fund, $3 million from Florida Legislature Appropriation, $10 million from the county commission and $8 million from the city council. He is still $94 million short, but the mayor has assured the Triumph Board that he will raise it from FDOT, Governor's Job Growth Fund, Federal EDA and other sources before the Dec. 31 deadline.

TRUMP COMING TO PENSACOLA

President Donald Trump will make his fourth appearance in Pensacola at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, to campaign for Republicans at

the Pensacola International Airport three days ahead of the 2018 elections.

NAVY FEDERAL MAKES AN OFFER The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners received a letter from Debbie Calder, executive vice president of Greater Pensacola Operations for Navy Federal Credit Union, offering to "select, engage and pay" for a master planner for OLF8—at an estimated cost of approximately $1.5-$2 million.

"If this is agreed to, Navy Federal will ensure the master planning process is a collective effort and incorporate input from the community and county," wrote Calder. "Once completed, the final proposed master plan would be subject to review and approval by the Board of County Commissioners."

Calder also stated that Navy Federal is willing to "purchase the remaining portions of the OLF8 property at the market price to facilitate and ensure that the development of the OLF8 property is consistent with the master plan described above."

She touted two "wins" for the county should the commissioners negotiate an agreement with the credit union—"the county may be able to direct RESTORE funds currently appropriated for the master plan to other worthy projects, and the county may have additional funds to use for other priority county projects."

"We believe a mutually-agreeable plan as described here will also signal that Escambia County is willing to work together with the Beulah community to create good jobs and attract the amenities needed to support comprehensive economic development for generations to come," said Calder.

COMPROMISE PROPOSED State Attorney Bill Eddins is concerned that the resignation of the District 1 medical examiner, Dr. Andrea Minyard, will create turmoil for the criminal justice system and "severely impact public safety" when she steps away Nov. 30.

Eddins believes there is room for the four counties in District 1 and Dr. Minyard to reach a compromise that would keep the doctor on the job until a new medical examiner is found.

"The counties simply have an obligation to the citizens of the First Circuit to make that compromise," wrote the state attorney in his press release.

He continued, "On the other hand, Dr. Minyard has enjoyed the payment of a very substantial salary for 14 years in her position as the medical examiner. She has enjoyed the benefits of a very favorable salary and contract situation. As a result of that, I believe that Dr. Minyard should make an economic compromise sufficient to allow the District 1 medical examiner's transition to be smooth. As the longtime medical examiner in the First Circuit in this situation, Dr. Minyard also has an obligation to make that compromise."

NORTHWEST FLORIDA RESILIENCE SYSTEM FORMED Amid Hurricane Mi-

chael's destruction, nonprofits, churches and other organizations throughout the Panhandle have begun setting up a team to form a parallel private response during major disasters.

Regions across the state already have activated similar response teams.

Two Pensacola organizers coordinating the process of setting up the Northwest Florida Resilience System are community activists Bill Caplinger, a retired UWF lab manager, and Brunie Emmanuel, a former director of The Friary.

"We're filling a need," Caplinger said. "We hope there is enough interest here to build this system throughout the Panhandle from Pensacola to Tallahassee."

So far, United Universalists Social Justice Network, local NAACP chapters, Movement for Change and churches have joined the new system. Despite the network just taking off, it already has experienced success.

Working with Tyson Foods, it became the

first to set up feeding stations in the Panama City area that bore the brunt of the Category 4 hurricane. In all, about 250,000 pounds of food have been donated.

It happened because Caplinger knew Tyson truck driver Brian Hansen, whom he mentored as part of a reentry program after being released from federal prison. Hansen has responded to four other significant storms with Tyson.

With the help of Johnson Brothers Wholesale Meats, the Panama City Council members and area churches, the first shipment of food was distributed days after the storm.

EQUAL PAY Women in Florida currently make 87 cents on the dollar compared to men, which is a pay ratio of 86.95 percent, according to American Association of University Women's (AAUW) annual The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap report. The state ranks fourth nationally in gender pay equity, based on full-time working women compared to white males for comparable work, behind California (89.13), District of Columbia (89.05) and New York (87.89).

"While the nation's unemployment rate is down and the number of women working is up, the wage gap is sadly remaining stagnant," said Kim Churches, the chief executive officer of AAUW. "It's unacceptable.

There is no gender differentiation when it comes to quality, skills and talent. It's time to close this gap and give every woman in Florida and across the country the salaries they deserve."

Nationally, workingwomen lose out on $500 billion a year because of a persistent gender pay gap, with women paid only 80 cents, on average, for every dollar paid to a man. The most substantial differences in pay are in Louisiana (68.8), Utah (71.3) and Indiana (73.19).

The only gap favoring women among the 114 occupations analyzed by AAUW was

NEW PARKING APP COMING Pensacola's Downtown Improvement Board (DIB) has approved a recommendation from its Parking & Traffic Committee to select a new digital parking app, Passport.

Following a phased, three-month launch and testing period, iOS and Android versions of the app will be available for download beginning in early 2019. Until then, parkers may continue to use the Premium Parking app or any pay machine or parking meter to pay to park at DIBmanaged lots and on-street parking and the Jefferson Street Garage.

"Passport is a superior platform that also offered a better price," said DIB executive director Lissa Dees. "But most importantly, it enables us to improve the overall parking experience and lower the cost for downtown workers, merchants, residents and visitors."

The Downtown Improvement Board voted in August to cancel its contract with its out-of-state parking management vendor and bring those responsibilities in-house. The move is expected to save the organization an estimated $150,000 per year.

Revenues generated from public parking funded the recent purchase and installation of LED lighting throughout Jefferson Street Garage. The DIB also has hired a new employee to patrol the JefNovember 1, 2018

INWEEKLY ENDORSEMENTS We know some of you have already voted and some of you don't care what we think.

But just in case there are still some undecideds out there, here are our endorsements for the Nov. 6 general election. You might disagree with us on some of these, and that's totally fine.

Because no matter who you vote for, we just hope you vote. It really does matter.

U.S. Senate: Bill Nelson (D) During his three terms, Nelson has done more for Northwest Florida than his Republican counterparts. After Hurricane Ivan, he lobbied for funds to shut down the Main Street Sewage Treatment and build a stateof-the-art facility in Cantonment. Nelson also played a crucial role in the RESTORE funding after the BP oil spill.

U.S. Congress, District 1: Jennifer Zimmerman (D) Incumbent Matt Gaetz's bizarre statements may have endeared the rookie congressman with Fox News and President Trump, but we believe he's out of sync with local probelms.

Gaetz will most likely win the election, but our newspaper wants to send a message that we need more attention paid to local issues and less to right-wing theatrics.

Governor: Andrew Gillum (D) Republicans have been great for business, not so much for the average citizens of Florida. Our teachers deserve to be paid more. Health care needs to be expanded to cover workers without medical insurance. Our precious environment needs to be protected. Gillum has plans to do it. Republican Ron DeSantis does not.

Attorney General: Ashley Moody (R) Moody is the most qualified of any candidate for attorney general during this election cycle.

She has been in the courtroom as a trial lawyer, assistant U.S. attorney and circuit court judge.

She will be great an attorney general.

Chief Financial Officer: Jeremy Ring (D) At age 25, Ring opened the first East Coast office of the internet giant Yahoo and worked to build the company into a multi-billion success. After he moved to Florida, Ring was elected to the Florida Senate in 2006. For 10

years, he helped craft bipartisan legislation that promoted start-ups and innovation in Florida.

That's the type of leadership Florida needs from its CFO. Commissioner of Agriculture: Nicole "Nikki" Fried (D) We liked Republican Matt Caldwell, but some of his positions bother us. His vote against the gun control bill passed after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting helped earn him an A+ NRA rating. He also opposes the restoration of voting rights for those who have completed their sentences. Fried disagrees with those positions and is a strong advocate for consumer protection.

State Representative, District 1: Vikki Garrett (D) Republican Mike Hill was an ineffective lawmaker when he served District 2. He is even less liked by the House leadership today. He is only biding time until he can run against Sen. Doug Broxson in 2020. Garrett gives the district a chance to be heard in Tallahassee.

Escambia County Commission, District 2: Scott Trotter (D) The county needs commissioners that figure out how to work together for the betterment of the entire county, not use the office to seek revenge. Trotter could break this 12-year cycle.

ECUA, District 2: Gloria Horning (D) ECUA has continually raised rates. The agency was investigated by a grand jury whose final report has yet to be released by the court system.

It's time for a change.

School Board, District 2: Ray Guillory We need board members who will challenge Superintendent Thomas. The school system has been going in the wrong direction for years.

School Board, District 3: Larry Williams, Sr. We got to know Williams when we covered the environmental issues in the Wedgewood community. He will be a strong voice for District 3.

City of Pensacola Mayor: Grover Robinson Robinson has a history of holding town hall meetings, regardless of how contentious an

issue may be. Spencer doesn't. Both candidates are experienced and, honestly, neither would be a bad choice. However, voters deserve to speak directly with their elected officials, which gives Robinson a slight edge in our book.

No. 6 Rights of Crime Victims; Judges: No Two unrelated issues bundled together. The victims' rights component is already in the state statutes. The judges' section can be handled in a separate amendment in 2020.

Pensacola City Council, District 4: Jared Moore Moore has spent the time to get to know the residents of District 4. He will be a fresh voice on the council.

No. 7 First Responders and Military Member Survivor Benefits; Public Colleges and Universities: No We like the first responders' section but not the one on colleges and universities. Let the Florida Legislature create individual amendments for the 2020 ballot.

Pensacola City Council, District 6: W.A. "Butch" Hansen We've been impressed with how Hansen helped provide the council financial analysis of several issues.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND REFERENDUMS No. 1 Increased Homestead Property Tax Exemption: No Local governments depend on property taxes to fund the services they provide. The state constitution isn't an appropriate place to restrict revenue sources.

No. 2 Limitations on Property Tax Assessments: No The value of vacation homes, apartments and commercial property are enhanced by the quality of life of the community. As their values increase, the owners should contribute more to improve the county and city.

No. 3 Voter Control of Gambling in Florida: Yes A "yes" vote takes the gambling decision out of the hands of state lawmakers and gives control to voters in each county.

No. 4 Voter Restoration Amendment: Yes Florida is one of only four states that permanently bars felons from voting after their sentences are completed.

No. 5 Supermajority Vote Required to Impose, Authorize or Raise State Taxes or Fees: No The constitution shouldn't be used to limit how our state government pays for the services it provides.

No. 9 Prohibits Offshore Oil and Gas Drilling; Prohibits Vaping in Enclosed Indoor Workplaces: Yes The prohibition of offshore drilling is so necessary that we're willing to ignore the Constitution Review Commission wanting to have a vaping ban in the state constitution.

No. 10 State and Local Government Structure and Operations: No Counties should decide if they want to eliminate constitutional offices and place the function under the Board of County Commissioners. We don't ever see it happening here, but other counties might have different opinions.

No. 11 Property Rights; Removal of Obsolete Provisions; Criminal Statutes: Yes Removing obsolete provisions and criminal statutes is a good thing.

No. 12 Lobbying and Abuse of Office by Public Officials: Yes We support ethics reform. This is an excellent first step.

No. 13 Ends Dog Racing: Yes This is the easiest vote of all, a no-brainer.

Escambia County School District Referendum: Yes The school system needs to be run by professionals that have the skills to deal with the unique challenges of Escambia County.

Non-binding County Beach Referendum: No This is a waste of time. It has zero impact.

BIG BOX ART Evan Levin and Ashton Howard have always thought outside the box—or at least around it.

That's why the co-founders of Cubed conjured up the idea of using large cubes as art installations during Pensacola's Foo Foo Fest in downtown Pensacola last year. The two collaborated with the University of West Florida Pensacola Museum of Art to receive a Foo Foo Fest grant for the inaugural event, which featured live outdoor mural painting.

This year the cubes will be back but will be different.

"Everyone loved it, and so we wanted to do it again this year but change up the theme," Levin said. "We felt like going digital was something that hasn't really been done before here.

It's a really exciting concept."

This year will feature digital art projected onto the cubes plus live music. It will boast 16 sides worth of projected art and videos along with four more on what they're calling the LED "Megacube," Levin said.

The LED "Megacube" is 18 feet tall and 12 feet wide.

"It's entirely LED panels," Levin said.

"It's going to be pretty impressive. I'm really excited to see this get put together."

The projections and videos will run from about 5 p.m. to midnight.

By Savannah Evanoff

"Then an LED tower will allow us to have loops of digital videos running all day long, so that will be nice to have something going on all day and not have to wait for it to get dark," Levin said.

Cubed Luminous will also feature art projected onto a screen behind the stage as the musicians perform and the Digital Graffiti Wall, an interactive wall where art is made while it's being projected.

"People can walk up to it like a tablet and draw digitally, then have it project onto the wall," Levin said, "and have this constantly evolving digital art piece going over the four nights."

The first year was ambitious, but this year is even more so, Levin said.

Many of the technical aspects of a digital art festival are out of his realm, he said with a laugh.

This is where people like technical director Ryan O'Keeley of O'Keeley Media come in.

His job is to make sure the artists' images make it up to one of the 20 screens they have, he said.

"From a technical standpoint, it's everything I learned in school plus all the skills I've gained from doing video work for the last decade," O'Keeley said. "It's very

challenging, but it's the most enjoyable puzzle I've ever done professionally."

Designing the event was really fun, O'Keeley said.

"What we envisioned was something that would just wow people," O'Keeley said. "As soon as they walked up, they'd be hit with so many things to look at that it would be an event people wanted to stay at for a while."

The projectors are really bright HD projectors, O'Keeley said. He believes the quality will intrigue people.

"We're hoping that's going to be a really diverse experience for everybody that shows up because they have 16 different things to look at on the artists' cubes," O'Keeley said.

The spirit of Cubed Luminous is exposing the area to what's possible with technology and art, O'Keeley said. He hopes the event will invigorate the Pensacola art community.

"A city that has a strong artistic community, it overflows into other pieces of the city that make it great," O'Keeley said.

"I hope this event inspires people to keep sharing art and using technology to get it in front of the people that enjoy it."

Amy J Bowman-McElhone, the assistant vice president of the University of West Florida Historic Trust Museums

and director and chief curator of UWF's Pensacola Museum of Art, teamed up with Levin and Howard to make Cubed happen the first year and now this year.

Her organizations' focus is to handle the art, education and administration aspects of the event.

"We generated an open call for artists and are working with guest curators and UWF art faculty and students to bring in a lot of amazing visual content that highlights local, national and international artists," Bowman-McElhone said.

Public art events are extremely valuable, not only to the art community but to all of Pensacola, she said.

"Public art intervenes in the landscape and streetscape and makes us pay attention to our built environment," BowmanMcElhone said. "Spaces that would otherwise be overlooked now become activated, providing a sense of curiosity, interest, affiliation and association."

TASTES OF JAPAN The Japan-America Society of Northwest Florida will bring five nights of hands-on cooking demonstrations, tastings and cultural immersion to Foo Foo Fest by way of So Gourmet.

"Food is kind of the perfect cultural exchange. By experiencing other cultures' cuisines, we can understand them better. And through that synthesis of new flavors and ideas, we enrich ourselves," explained Joe Vinson.

Guests can elevate their meal prep game by learning the subtle charm of the Japanese bento box, calm their election night jitters at a sake tasting, dive into the fascinating blend of Japanese and Cajun flavors with a guest chef, taste from the cultural melting pot of Okinawa and get schooled on sushi technique. For the culinary ambitious, you could close out the week with a serious Japanese culinary repertoire and a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, too.

FIRED UP FEMALES

Courtesy Photo Since the discovery of fire, this powerful element has been viewed as a universal symbol of strength and passion. First City Art Center (FCAC) and Pensacola State College (PSC) have joined collaborative forces as

part of this year's Foo Foo Festival to present female artists that have mastered the flames—creating art and burning down stereotypes.

On view through Dec. 7 at Anna Lamar Switzer Gallery, the "Women of Fire Exhibition: Celebrating Women Making Art with Fire" exhibit will showcase the vitality of blacksmith Corrina Sephora, glassblowers Hillary Heckard and Rene Culler, mixed media glass artist Rachel Wright, clay artist Maya Blume-Cantrell, pottery maker Osa Atoe and torch work glass artist Meredith Hartsfield.

Managing Director of FCAC Caitlin Rhea confirmed the origins of this exhibit to discussions shared with others about gender equality, double standards and prevailing female stereotypes.

"The best path toward social progress is to be proactive and host an event that celebrates the tenacity and the creativity of female artists

By Sam Smith

who work with fire, an element which inherently has a masculine energy."

The opening reception will kick-start the exhibit on Thursday, Nov. 1, from 6-8 p.m. at Anna Lamar Switzer Gallery. This event will include demonstrations of torch work, blacksmithing, glassblowing and the opportunity to engage with the artists.

"The arts and crafts are only made richer by the diverse backgrounds and experiences of its participants. I think we should take time to pay specific attention to all of these different groups or people, to learn what they have to offer," said musician and pottery artist Osa Atoe.

FCAC will also host a multi-sensory event Saturday, Nov. 3, which will include glassblowing, flameworking, ceramics, Raku firings, and blacksmithing demonstrations.

There will be fire dancing performances by Mariah McCay and Nicolette Dugas, live music from Trist Weeks and Zena Carpenter, vendors and food trucks.

FCAC new glass art fellow Hillary Heckard expressed gratitude for being a part of such a progressive art community that allows art to be shown as a genderless language and medium. "I

think it is good to challenge the bias perspectives through art because without asking questions and trying to find answers, progress and change can't take place. And I think this is where the language of art draws out emotion and triggers a reaction."

news of the weird

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION The District of Columbia's Department of General Services fell victim to a scam in July when officials there wired almost $700,000 to a hacker posing as a city vendor. The fraudsters gained information from a vendor's computer system, reported The Washington Post, then created a fake email address by changing just one letter, from which they requested electronic transfers from the D.C. government. David Umansky, a spokesman for the district's chief financial officer, told the Post that since then the city's protocols for making vendor payments have "been modified to require additional confirmation before changing bank information." None of D.C.'s money has been recovered.

NEWS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE In Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, chicken owner Stephanie Morse told KNOE-TV on Oct. 18 that she is not going to be deterred from dressing up her chickens for Halloween, even in light of the warning from the Centers for Disease Control about exposure to salmonella.

More than 90 people in 29 states have been infected with an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria after coming into contact with raw chicken products. Dressing up live chickens might also cause people to be exposed to the germ. "Don't kiss your birds or snuggle them," the CDC warns. But Morse clucks back: "I just like to put a sweater on them to keep them warm and comfortable."

INEXPLICABLEThe University of Kansas Cancer Center just wants its colon back. The $4,000 giant inflatable colon, used to educate the public about colon health, was stolen from the bed of a pickup truck on Oct. 19. The Kansas City Star reported it was scheduled to appear at a run/walk event at a local park the next day. Kansas City Police are hoping the public will help find the 150-pound, 10-footlong colon and return it to its owners.

EXTREME REACTION Helen Washington, 75, of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, faces charges

of second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon after she ran out of patience on Oct. 12 with her grandson, who continued to put his teacup on her furniture even after she repeatedly asked him not to. After dumping his tea out, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported, Washington left the room, apparently to get a gun. Meanwhile, the grandson had made a new cup of tea and put it on the furniture. The argument resumed, and Washington pulled out the .38 Special, shooting her grandson in the leg.

She told officers at the scene she didn't think she should go to jail; a judge ordered an evaluation to see if she's competent to stand trial.

WHO'S A GOOD BOY? YOU'RE A GOOD BOY! Beagle Brigade K-9 officer Hardy probably thought he'd hit the jackpot when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents discovered an unusual item in a passenger's luggage at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport on Oct. 11. Fox5 reported that something smelled suspicious (and delicious) to Hardy, so agents opened the bag of a traveler from Ecuador to find a cooked pig's head. "This seizure at ATL illustrates the tremendous expertise of our four-legged K-9 partners in protecting the United States," gushed Carey Davis, CBP area port director of the Port of Atlanta. No doubt to Hardy's distress, however, the pig's head was removed and destroyed.

CREATIVE WEAPONRY When Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly wandered into a suburban house in Englewood, Colorado, early on the morning of Oct. 23, he didn't appear to pose much of a threat, according to ESPN News. He sat down on the couch next to the female resident, who was holding her young child, and began "mumbling incoherently," police records showed. But the man of the house, thinking quickly, shooed the 24-year-old Kelly out with nothing more than a vacuum hose. Kelly, who had been at a Halloween party with teammates, was later found sitting in his car about a block away. He was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass, but the real shame is how Kelly hosed his own career: On Oct. 24, the Broncos released him. •Atif Masood, 42, an employee at a Tesco supermarket in Thornton Heath in south London, is suing the store over the harassment and racial discrimination he says he suffered when a fellow employee broke wind in his face. The Sun reported Masood claims he was targeted because he is Muslim, saying the "unwanted conduct ... had the purpose or effect of violating his dignity." Tesco dismissed Masood's complaints in February, saying it found no evidence of racial discrimination. Masood's hearing will take place in 2019. {in}

THE NEW 76ERS

PEOPLE DIFFERENT FROM US Halloween won't be quite so frightening for residents of Nottinghamshire, England, now that a "killer clown" has been apprehended and sentenced to 11 weeks behind bars, plus 18 weeks that had previously been suspended, according to the BBC. Damien Hammond, 29, is a homeless and jobless man who has taken on the persona of Heath Ledger's The Joker from "The Dark Knight Rises." He admitted to what police called a "crime wave" of offenses, including terrorizing staff in retail stores, waving a gunshaped cigarette lighter while standing in traffic, and striking a police officer. He arrived at Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Oct. 10 with bright green hair, and as he was led to jail, he shouted: "See what you have done. I will kill today!" adding that he would stab police officers and fellow inmates. He has also been banned from central Nottingham for three years.
