winners JORDAN LEGGETT The New York Jets tight end has started the Touchdowns for Taylor campaign to raise funds for the Taylor Haugen Foundation during this football season. The campaign encourages supporters to pledge a donation to raise awareness of the severity of abdominal injuries and money for state-ofthe-art protective gear to ensure safety for all athletes. Taylor Haugen was a 15-year-old Niceville High School student who passed away after a traumatic abdominal injury sustained during a football game in 2008. Leggett played at nearby Navarre High School and grew up with the story of Taylor and is passionate about the vision of the foundation. To donate, visit pledgeit.org/touchdowns-for-taylor-2018. JON SHELL Last Thursday, the Pensacola City Council voted 4-3 to approve an additional $200,000 for Shell's nonprofit, Upward Intuition, to build a skate park inside the city limits. Shell, a member of the Inweekly Rising Stars Class of 2017, has already raised about $500,000 through fundraising and grants, including a $100,000 grant from the Gannett Foundation and $25,000 from the Tony Hawk Foundation. The council vote increased the city's funding to $875,000. HAL MARCUS The University of West Florida has announced a $118,000 gift to establish the Pat and Hal Marcus Excellence Scholarship. The gift, donated by Marcus, will provide full tuition merit-based scholarships for students in the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering. The College of Science and Engineering was named for him earlier in honor of his $5 million donation to UWF.

that the top Trump campaign official requested proposals in 2016 from an Israeli company to create fake online identities, use social media manipulation and gather intelligence to help defeat GOP primary opponents and Hillary Clinton. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office indicted Gates last year on multiple charges of financial fraud and tax evasion. Gates pleaded guilty to several of the charges and is cooperating with Mueller's investigation.

BAYVIEW CROSS APPEAL The U.S. Supreme Court last week rejected a request from the city of Pensacola to speed up consideration of a case about the removal of a decades-old cross from a city park. The city appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court last month after the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the cross in Bayview Park should be removed because it violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. Attorneys for the city had requested the justices "expedite" consideration of whether to hear the case because of another pending litigation involving the removal of a cross in Maryland.

PAY UP, MR. PRESIDENT When President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Montana this past July, he took aim at the Native American heritage of U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). He often mocks the potential 2020 presidential candidate by calling her "Pocahontas," but the Montana rally was different. President Trump described how he would surprise Sen. Warren during a presidential debate with "those little kits they sell on television for $2, (to) learn your heritage." "We will take that little kit and say—but we have to do it gently because we're in the #MeToo generation, so we have to be very gentle," Trump told the crowd. "And we will very gently take that kit, and we will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn`t hit her and injure her arm, even though it only weighs probably two ounces. And we will say, 'I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity paid for by Trump if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian.'" At the rally, President Trump was almost giddy with his little challenge. He told his supporters, "We'll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no, but we will hold it for the debates." The president won't have to wait until the fall of 2020. Sen. Warren accepted his challenge and had a DNA test done, not the $2 brand that Trump touted in Montana but one conducted by Carlos Bustamante, a Stanford

University professor with expertise in data science and genomics technology. The executive summary of the report, dated Oct. 10, states, "We find strong evidence that a DNA sample of primarily European descent also contains Native American ancestry from an ancestor in the sample's pedigree six to 10 generations ago." Oops. On Monday, President Trump denied that he ever said he offered to pay $1 million to the senator's favorite charity. However, the transcript of his speech at the Montana rally has been available online for months. If you don't believe the transcript, watch the video of the rally. Sen. Warren has been quick to release the DNA report. She has posted it online at elizabethwarren. com along with a video about her Native American heritage. She has asked President Trump to send his $1 million check to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. She tweeted, "By the way, @realDonaldTrump: Remember saying on 7/5 that you'd give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember—and here's the verdict. Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center." Time to pay up, Mr. President. {in} rick@inweekly.net

AFRICAN AMERICAN CHAMBER EVOLVES

Brian Wyer / Photo by Jeremy Morrison

By Jeremy Morrison Sitting in his office on the ground floor of the DeVilliers Square building, Brian Wyer is noticeably excited about the recent evolution of the Gulf Coast African American Chamber of Commerce. "I'm fired up," Wyer said. "I really am." Wyer isn't just excited about the relocation of the chamber's office, which is nestled in the heart of the BelmontDeVilliers area, an area of the city particularly rich with African-American history. Though, he does like the location much better than the old Michigan Avenue digs that kept him hopping back and forth to downtown so frequently he'd sometimes stake out a spot at the library to work to avoid so many trips. "Now we're right in the hub of things," he smiled. "People will say, 'Hey, I'm gonna go to Five Sisters and will pop over and visit you.' We get a lot more foot traffic." As president and CEO of the chamber, Wyer is excited about changes that are afoot for the organization. The Gulf Coast African 66

American Chamber of Commerce has been through a few incarnations during its near twodecade existence, and now it's evolving again, this time with a change in name that represents, or rather recognizes, a broader scope. "Our name really confused people," explained Wyer. "They thought you could only come in if you were African-American." As of this month, coinciding with the turnover of the fiscal year, the nonprofit organization will be known as the Gulf Coast Minority Chamber of Commerce, Inc. The moniker, Wyer hopes, will infer a more inclusive body. "It opens it up to other minorities," he said, explaining that the organization has always been open to anyone who wished to join, though that wasn't widely understood. "The name change signifies that." This chamber, which is separate from the Greater Pensacola Chamber, represents the interests of area minority-owned businesses. The nonprofit organization

works to improve the professional prospects of the minority community. It serves as a venue for networking and also works to better connect its members with local governments and other potential employers. "We help mentor and network people, help pull them together," Wyer said. Wyer came on board to head up the chamber about a year ago. A native of Pensacola and graduate of the University of West Florida, he spent 20 years in Tampa working IT for PricewaterhouseCoopers before heading back to the Panhandle. "I came in with open eyes. I just looked at everything," Wyer said. "Over the course of a year, I saw some things we could change and make the chamber even bigger and better." One thing Wyer noted was that minorities outside the African-American community were not plugged into the chamber. He saw that as a missed opportunity. After speaking with members of those communities, notably the Hispanic community, he decided the chamber should adopt a more inclusive stature. Pulling out some 2012 statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the chamber president throws the numbers onto his desk. The numbers paint a portrait of the local minority business composition. In 2012 in Escambia County, there were a total of 20,377 businesses. African-American-owned businesses accounted for 3,291 of these, but minority-owned companies in total amounted to 5,704. The difference was split between a collective of minority groups, including Hispanic and Asian communities as well as Native Americans. "Now it's just a bigger group of people to represent things," Wyer said, adding that the chamber is not only open to minority businesses but also "those that want to network [with] and support these businesses." Initially considering handling this organizational change via a simpler DoingBusiness-As filing, the chamber president said that he reached the decision to broadcast a wider net in the form of an entirely new 501(c) (6) organization after speaking with chamber members and staff. In addition to accomplishing a rebranding of the organization, the move also allows the organization to shake off old baggage, such as a federal tax debt inherited from years past. "It just gives us an opportunity to start fresh," he said. "It's easier sometimes to start a new path than trying to patch something. Sometimes you need a new birth, a new change." Wyer said that most of the feedback he's heard thus far regarding the change

"It's easier sometimes to start a new path than trying to patch something. Sometimes you need a new birth, a new change." Brian Wyer

has been positive. But he's aware that some people may feel differently. "I think there may be some pushback in the community, but I really want to be more inclusive," he said. Wyer has also spoken with folks who don't see the need for a separate chamber for minority communities. The Greater Pensacola Chamber, after all, serves the entirety of the business community. On that point, Wyer disagrees. He feels minority businesses need their own representation because they face "similar challenges" and hail from "similar backgrounds" that members of the wider business community may not share. But, the president stresses, the two chambers are not conflicting. Many members belong to both, and Wyer works with the Greater Pensacola Chamber, as well as Florida West, in an effort to improve his members' prospects. "We don't see ourselves as competition," he said. "We have a reciprocal relationship. We have the same mission." The first meeting of the newly minted Gulf Coast Minority Chamber of Commerce was Oct. 16. Looking ahead to the meeting, Wyer said he expected to field some questions regarding the shift and looked forward to working with members and the community in mapping out the group's future. "It'll be a very transparent meeting," he said. Aside from the change in name, and its implicit broadening of the net, most everything else about the chamber will remain the same. Its current membership will roll over into the new organization, as well as the status of "legacy members," and ads purchased in the chamber's directory will also transfer over into the new group's inaugural directory for 2019. The minority chamber will also continue to receive funding from both the City of Pensacola and Escambia County. The city has $25,000 allocated for the group, while the county has awarded $60,000. Wyer said that eventually, he would like the chamber to blossom into the geography of its name and work with minority-owned businesses and those that supported them throughout the Gulf Coast region. "Once we get things right in Pensacola," he said, "I do want to branch out." But first, the group will focus on building a solid foundation locally. Wyer said he understands it will take some time to accomplish what he sees as the chamber's fuller potential, but he knows it'll be worth it when prospects are improved for minority businesses in the area. "I'm not a flash in the pan, and I'm methodical," Wyer said. "Be patient, be understanding and give us an opportunity to work through things and succeed." {in} inweekly.net

THE 'INFLUENTIAL' MICHAEL MURDOCH and best mentor. My mom was the most caring person. We were very tight-knit." Murdoch runs AppRiver like a family. It's not uncommon for him and other managers to fire up the grill during company cookouts. New employees must beware of the "attack monkey." This hilarious sock monkey cheerfully slays them by electrocution, strangulation, poisoning, hit-and-run and other ways. Once it even took out Murdoch with a heart attack when the monkey showed him his salary demands during a job interview.

"Creating a positive environment makes it a lot easier to run a company." Murdoch

Michael Murdoch / Courtesy Photo

By Duwayne Escobedo It started with a story that has now become legendary. Michael Murdoch met Joel Smith. Together, they launched AppRiver on April 2, 2002, because Murdoch disliked the idea of starting on April Fool's Day. The two men and a spam filter worked out of a broom closet in Gulf Breeze. "We hit it off great," Murdoch said. "He has a great tech vision, and I handle the business side." Today, the fast-growing, cloud-based email and internet security company for mainly small- and medium-sized companies employs about 300 people, so-called "Appers." It has expanded worldwide to Atlanta, Austin, Spain, Switzerland and Canada. Murdoch even has his sights on expanding into England and Asia-Pacific. AppRiver has about 60,000 clients spread out in 69 countries. The 54-year-old's success led the AppRiver cofounder to earn a spot on the first ever Florida Trend 500 Most Influential Business Leaders list this month. The magazine decided to unveil the new special issue of "people we believe are charting Florida's course" in celebration of its 60th anniversary. Broken down into 16 categories, Florida Trend also recognized eight other Pensacola professionals on its most impactful individuals in the state list. After graduating from the Univer88

sity of Georgia with a business degree 33 years ago, Murdoch "fell into" the internet technology field. There, he learned how to do profit and loss (P&L) reports and build high-tech companies from the ground up and sell them to larger companies. It all came naturally to him, Murdoch said.

"My dad always taught me to do the right thing. He was my first and best mentor." Michael Murdoch "It's all I've ever done," said Murdoch, AppRiver President and CEO. "IT is a great field to be in. It's one of those industries where if you work hard, it is almost recession proof." But Murdoch admitted he has experienced plenty of failures, too. "I failed a whole lot before running AppRiver," he said, chuckling. Murdoch credits many people for helping him along the way. But he especially credits his parents. His father, George, an Episcopalian priest who succumbed to cancer, and his mother, Marianela, who passed away a year ago at the age of 89, molded his values. His mother, who is from the Dominican Republic, met his father in Puerto Rico in the 1950s. They gave their son his foundation to confidently pursue his dreams. "My dad always taught me to do the right thing," Murdoch said. "He was my first

"We're serious about what we do, but we have fun doing it," Murdoch said. "Creating a positive environment makes it a lot easier to run a company." He added that watching his talented co-workers succeed both professionally and personally "gives me more personal satisfaction than just about anything." Additionally, he cares about AppRiver customers. He and Smith vowed that all of their clients would talk to one of their employees within 24 hours who could help them troubleshoot any problems. AppRiver prides itself in what it calls "Phenomenal Care," annually winning awards for customer service. Plus, it enjoys a 93 percent customer retention rate. "We never wanted to be one of those companies you call for help, and they say they will call back but never do," Murdoch said. "It's our creed. It's our essence." Murdoch continually searches for tech startups he can get involved in throughout the Gulf Coast. Currently, he is advising and investing in six companies and looking for more to bolster. He's deeply involved in making the "Innovation Coast" a reality. "I'm looking for other opportunities to help the next generation, really," Murdoch said. Who wouldn't want advice from Murdoch, who competes with the biggest companies on the plant and still succeeds? His latest move came at the end of 2017 when AppRiver joined forces with Marlin Equity Partners, a global investment firm with $6.7 billion in assets. It plans to help AppRiver continue its rapid growth and reach its goal of becoming the go-to IT security provider for businesses around the world. Already, it has acquired New York-based Total Defense earlier this month and Canadian company Roaring Penguin in March. Murdoch referred to this stage of the company's growth as AppRiver 2.0. "We're on target for a $100 million in sales this year," said Murdoch as he leans back in his chair in his second-floor office that looks out toward Pensacola Beach. "We want to double,

triple, quadruple our sales and create value and at the same time protect the soul of our company. You have to understand our culture, and Marlin's got it." It's also another opportunity for Murdoch to learn about data-driven analysis from the Los Angeles-based investment firm stocked with advisors and CEOs with experience running national and global companies. "I get help from people in a bigger company," he said. "They are a great resource to have. You're never too old to keep learning. If you're not changing, not growing, not evolving, then this industry is going to pass you by. You've got to stay relevant and be competitive." Despite all the energy he puts into AppRiver, Murdoch still manages a balanced life. He recently married his wife, Addie, and they love boating, skiing, traveling and just hanging out as a family. What's next for AppRiver? Murdoch has a few ideas, which may include taking the company public. "There's never a dull day," Murdoch said. {in}

FLORIDA TREND 500 MOST INFLUENTIAL BUSINESS LEADERS In all, nine people from the Pensacola area made Florida Trend's inaugural list. The special issue celebrates the monthly magazine's 60 years of covering Florida business, industry, education and leisure. Florida Trend used the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce to help compile its list. It omitted elected officials and limited selections to no more than three people from any one firm. The magazine also avoided defaulting to the CEOs of companies on their own "350 Biggest Companies" list.

IMPACT 100 Winners / Courtesy Photo IMPACT AWARDS GRANTS IMPACT 100 Pensacola Bay Area, a local women's philanthropic organization, handed out 11 grants of $100,300 each to local nonprofit organizations on Sunday, Oct. 14. With a record number 1,103 members in its 15th year, IMPACT 100 awarded a total of $1,103,000 in five areas. "At the end of today, $10,498,000 has been awarded through 98 grants to 72 nonprofit organizations in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties since 2004," said Meri Asmar, president of IMPACT 100. "These are significant grants that make a lasting impact." In the Arts and Culture category, the winners were Pensacola High School Band Boosters Association for "Music is for Everyone at PHS" and Pyramid for its project to bring the arts to the underserved. In the Education category, Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge's "Return to the Wild" and Escambia County Public Schools Foundation for Excellence's "Swim, Soar and Fly into Science" received the grants. In the Environment, Recreation and Preservation category, the awardees were Miracle League of Santa Rosa County for its "Miracle Field of Dreams" and the Veterans Memorial Park Foundation of Pen-

sacola to restore lighting at the park. In the Family category, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida's "There's No Place Like Home" and the Sacred Heart Foundation's "Paw'erful Medicine" were the winners. In the Health and Wellness category, the grant recipients were the KlaasKIDS Foundation for its "Missing Child Response and Child Exploitation Prevention" project, the Opening Doors Northwest Florida for its "Opening Doors on a Mission to Reach, Respond, Restore" project and Re-Entry Alliance Pensacola, Inc. for its "REAP's Women's Re-entry Portal."

CITY RACES TIGHTEN According to the latest Inweekly/Political Matrix poll of 493 likely Pensacola voters, the race for mayor is getting closer with Brian Spencer now only trailing by 7.3 percentage points— Grover Robinson 44.8 to Brian Spencer 37.5. In our Sept. 10 poll, Robinson led by 10.6 points. The percentage of voters that either don't know the candidates or are still undecided remained the same, 17.6 percent, which indicates Spencer is pulling votes away from Robinson. In reviewing the survey by districts, Spencer picked up votes in District 6, a 24.7-point swing in his favor in the city council district he has represented for eight years. He had an even greater swing in District 7—28.6 points. Plus, District 1 now supports Spencer. Robinson flipped District 4 in his favor and widened his lead in Districts 2, 3 and 5. In City Council District 4 race, Jared Moore has built a double-digit lead, 46.4

percent-34.2 percent. A month ago, Chris Phillips had a 2.8-point lead. The percentage of voters still uncertain only dropped 1.2 points to 27.5 percent. The City Council District 6 race has become too close to call. Ann Hill has a slight lead, 28.7 points, over W.A. Butch Hansen, 24.7 points, leaving 46.8 percent of the voters either undecided or not knowing the candidates in the race. Over the past month, Hansen has picked up 10 points. The margin of error for the mayor's race was +/- 3.5 percent and +/- 5.5 percent for the council races with confidence levels of 95 percent.

BAYVIEW CENTER CONTRACT At its Oct. 11 meeting, the Pensacola City Council approved the largest budget for any community center in the city's history. The Bayview Park Community Center will cost $8.25 million. The budget includes $5.9 million for construction by Hewes & Co. The balance includes furnishings, architect fees, other soft costs and 6.4 percent contingency funds. The initial budget for the entire project was $6 million when the construction was scheduled to begin in late 2016. By September 2017, the budget had ballooned to $8.25 million. When the bids came in May 2018, the cost had jumped to over $9 million. The Pensacola City Council refused to increase the budget, even though Mayor Ashton Hayward had already held a groundbreaking ceremony. The last two community centers built by the city, Woodland Heights and Theophalis May, cost approximately $3 million each. The city council and neighborhoods were not given the option of increasing the budgets for the facilities. NINTH AVENUE TOWN HALL Located

mostly in the city limits of Pensacola, Ninth Avenue is 8.5 miles, running from Main Street

to Olive Road. Ninth Ave is the most important thoroughfare in the city limits with many commercial businesses, Sacred Heart Health Systems, Pensacola State College, Cordova Mall and hundreds of single-family homes and multifamily residences. While Ninth Avenue is the longest and most used commercial corridor in the city limits, it is also the most neglected, according to Councilwoman Sherri Myers. Some of the issues that negatively impact businesses, residents and users along Ninth Avenue are lack of sidewalks, street lighting, constant flooding and drainage issues that impact businesses and motorists, dangerous road conditions without adequate turn lanes, lack of bike lanes, Carpenter's Creek bridge and other issues. Councilwoman Myers is hosting the town hall meeting 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, at Asbury Place behind Cokesbury United Methodist Church, 5725 N. Ninth Avenue. The meeting will provide businesses, residents and users an opportunity to identify issues and solutions to improve the drivability, walkability and usability of Ninth Ave. For more information, contact Sherri Myers at smyers@ cityofpensacola.com.

U.S. ATTORNEY HIGHLIGHTS Outgo-

ing U.S. Attorney Christopher P. Canova recently issued a press release highlighting the 2018 accomplishments for Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) in the Northern District of Florida, which includes 23 counties from Escambia to Alachua. One year ago, the Department of Justice announced the revitalization and enhancement of Project Safe Neighborhoods, which Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the centerpiece of the department's violent crime reduction strategy. "Project Safe Neighborhoods is a proven program with demonstrated results," Attorney General Sessions said. "We know

that the most effective strategy to reduce violent crime is based on sound policing policies that have proven effective over many years, which includes being targeted and responsive to community needs." Throughout the past year, the U.S. attorney's office partnered with all levels of law enforcement, local organizations and members of the community to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer. "We are committed to pursuing public safety in the Northern District of Florida through prosecutions of violent criminals, collaborations with other law enforcement agencies and the community and outreach, such as the BLAST Program, which encourages students to build positive relationships with local law enforcement officers and become lawabiding citizens," said U.S. Attorney Canova. He cited the Gun Violence Initiative in Tallahassee and the Gun Crimes Response Team in Pensacola for their effectiveness in curbing gun violence. The task forces are comprised of investigators and prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office, State Attorneys' Offices, ATF, DEA, FBI, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, county sheriffs' offices and local police departments. Also, the Department of Justice added two new Assistant United States Attorneys in North Florida to work on reducing violent crime and supporting the NDFL's PSN program. The FBI's official crime data for 2017 reflects that, after two consecutive, historic increases in violent crime, the nationwide violent crime rate began to decline. The nationwide violent crime rate decreased by approximately 1 percent in 2017, while the nationwide homicide rate decreased by nearly 1 and a half percent. Officials from the North Florida office said, "The preliminary information we have for 2018 gives us reason for optimism that our efforts are continuing to pay off. Public data from 60 major cities shows that violent crime was down by nearly 5 percent in those cities in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period a year ago."

FLIGHTS TO NEWARK IN 2019 United Airlines will launch daily seasonal service between Pensacola International Airport (PNS) and Newark Liberty International Airport on June 6, 2019. Passengers can now book flights online at united.com. Mayor Ashton Hayward said, "Establishing routes to airports serving the New York Metropolitan Area is something that my team and I have been working on, and we are excited to bring this service to our residents and business travelers." Flights in a 2-class configuration October 18, 2018

aircraft are scheduled to depart Pensacola daily at 3:25 p.m. and arrive in Newark, N.J., at 7 p.m. EST. The Pensacola route is one of 22 new routes United Airlines announced it would add next year. "With more than 40 new domestic routes added this year, we remain committed to expanding our network to offer customers even more choices in their travel destinations," said Ankit Gupta, United's vice president of Domestic Network Planning.

Bari Kyle and Jeremy Barrick have lived in many places, but Pensacola is the first to feel to like home. Their love of the city is what inspired the co-owners of vintage clothing store Nearly Dead Threads to host their first Punk Rock Flea Market Pensacola in 2017. "We love Pensacola, and we really October 18, 2018

wanted to just be part of the community somehow and try to start something," Kyle said. "This is an area that's very supportive, like, 'If you want to try to do it, we will support it.'" The title of the event might confuse some people, but Barrick will assure you, it's simple.

"It's just like your regular flea market, but it's filled with DIY oddities and people being themselves, not the conventional items you would find at a traditional flea market. You're not going to find a shovel at a punk rock flea market," Barrick said. Some of the items at the first Punk Rock Flea Market Pensacola included art-

work, vintage clothing, succulents, stained glass, prayer candles and home dĂŠcor. Punk rock doesn't hold the same connotation it once did, Barrick explained. "It means being able to express yourself the way you want," Barrick said. "It's taken a whole different term from what it was 30 years ago, where it was more of a rebellious term. Now, 13

Bari Kyle and Jeremy Barrick / Courtesy Photo it's more about you can be expressive and do it different ways than conventionalism." The idea stemmed from a punk rock flea market in Knoxville, Tenn., Kyle said. She considered setting up and selling their vintage clothing at that event. "Then, it dawned on me, 'Why would we drive eight hours to go to one in another city?'" Kyle recruited help from the coordinator of the Knoxville event, and the idea took off from there. They had 60 vendors at the first Punk Rock Flea Market Pen-

sacola and plan to have about the same amount this year. "I feel that last year was the stone to create it, and this year's a castle," Barrick said. "I've got a good feeling about it." This year will feature several new vendors from the region, including Pensacola's own Big Jerk Soda Co., a craft soda company. People will also have the opportunity to purchase snacks from some of the vendors or eat at chizuko, Kyle said. Despite its success, circumstances

didn't align for the inaugural event. They had to push the date back a week because of an impending tropical storm and change the location at the last minute. Kyle was worried, she said. But it turns out she didn't need to be. "At 2 o'clock, the floodgates opened up," Kyle said. "Most of the vendors said they sold out of items they brought." Kyle believes part of the event's success was a result of a community feeling. The vendors have a Facebook group to support each other leading up to the event. "There's a lot of people out there that sell different things and see it as competition," Barrick said. "We see it as we want people to be a part of a bigger thing, a huge thing we've started." Kyle and Barrick have made many friends through the event. They sell some of the vendors' items in their store today. "It's a lot of like-minded individuals," Barrick said. "We all share a common bond. We all have become friends and networks." Multiple vendors will sell vintage clothing at this year's event. Kyle thinks people are attracted to the secondhand clothing for different reasons. "You're never going to show up to an event wearing the same thing as someone else," Kyle said. "You can usually find a modern-day knockoff version at the mall, so why not get the original one that has natural history to it?" Barrick feels vintage clothing is another way of expressing yourself. New clothing is so re-hashed, he said.

"It's almost like wearing a costume in a different era," Barrick said. "'Hey, I'm '50s.' 'Hey, I'm '60s.'" Sifting through old clothes is also nostalgic, which is part of the fun. "You walk in that one store and you want to see a bunch of old-school T-shirts or combat boots that you had in the 1990s," Barrick said. "It's the same thing with the flea market. It's like being a kid on Christmas Eve." Coordinating the flea market is tons of work—measuring tent spaces, sorting through applications and organizing, Barrick said. But it's worth doing because they can see the reward, he said. "You see people coming together," Barrick said. "You see this subculture starting to develop more like it was 20 to 30 years ago when we weren't here. Now we're here, and we want to start something unique and different everyone can be a part of. It's a friendly atmosphere full of collaboration of artists and freaks and geeks—you name it." {in}

Welcome To Halloweentown By Savannah Evanoff

the movie, so it seemed like an appropriate time, Steinert said. He used the movie as a jumping-off point, so the production would be his own interpretation rather than a recreation, he said. "Not all movies lend themselves to ballet because movies rely on words to communicate," Steinert said. "I need to find movies that I can take all the words out of them and still tell the story. Not all movies are available for this interpretation/adaptation, but this is perfect." Simmons isn't immune to his resemblance to his character. "I've heard it a lot from friends before we knew we were going to do this show," Simmons said. "I had actually already been thinking about going as Jack for Halloween." Jack Skellington isn't the first lead role Simmons has performed in the ballet adaptation of a movie. He portrayed Neo in Ballet Pensacola's production of "The Matrix" and Ichabod in "The Headless Horseman." This role, however, is a special one. "I grew up watching this movie with my mom pretty much every Halloween/ Christmas," Simmons said. "I've always enjoyed Jack. He's always been my favorite character. Actually getting to portray him is pretty spectacular for me."

The word traditional doesn't belong in Ballet Pensacola. Artistic Director Richard Steinert has an explanation for why the lingo doesn't fit. "The thing about this company is we use classically trained dancers to do edgy, very contemporary works," Steinert said. "There's no doubt that it's ballet, but it ain't your grandmother's ballet." Steinert often concocts productions based on movies, but Ballet Pensacola's "A Nightmare Before Christmas" had an especially specific reason behind it—principal dancer Dustin Simmons. "He's a tall, lanky young man—he just looks like a Jack Skellington to me," Steinert said. "We also have a young woman in the company who just looks like Sally to me." "I have a whole bunch of ballets that are sloshing around in my brain all the time October 18, 2018

just waiting for the right dancers to reveal themselves at the right time." The production will spur from Tim Burton's 1993 film "The Nightmare Before Christmas." In the movie, Halloweentown's pumpkin king Jack Skellington discovers Christmas Town and attempts to bring the holiday back home. Meanwhile, the ragdoll woman Sally (played by Scarlett Rustemeyer) escapes from the mad scientist Dr. Finkelstein and attempts to win Skellington's affection. "Tim Burton does a remarkable job of using lovable, approachable characters who are impossibly crazy," Steinert said. "It's holidays we've all grown up participating in, and it takes all those creatures we're so used to being spooky, creepy creatures and gives them some humanity. When you're a performer, that's particularly poignant." This year marks the 25th anniversary of

tionship to the wheelchair so Janea could be more involved in the performance. "In this production, Dr. Finklestein gets up and actually can dance when people aren't looking," Janea said. "So I have the opportunity to develop what I think Dr. Finkelstein would be like if he was able to get out of his wheelchair and dance or walk."

"In this production, Dr. Finklestein gets up and actually can dance when people aren't looking." Debi Janea Simmons and Janea both grew up watching "The Nightmare Before Christmas" movie but disagree slightly on its designated holiday. Simmons loved watching it as an alternative to traditional Christmas movies, while Janea enjoyed it during Halloween as a hint toward Christmas. Steinert cleared up the confusion. "It's a Hallowistmas movie," Steinert said. Steinert can't wait to see Ballet Pensacola's version of Halloweentown. The shop is across town from their rehearsal space, so the dancers won't see the set until closer to the performance, he said. "This is a ballet as much about what's going on around the dancing as it is about the dancing," Steinert said. Steinert asked the set designer to use the aesthetic of the movie infused with illustrations from Dr. Seuss books. Steinert hopes choosing this movie as a ballet will encourage people to attend who normally don't watch ballet. He can tell it already has. "There is so much buzz about this ballet," Steinert said. "We're about 40 percent already sold toward our budgeted goal on this, which is unheard of. "We're piquing the interest of a demographic that generally doesn't come to our ballets." {in}

While some cast members resemble their characters, Steinert wants to be clear when he says principal dancer Debi Janea isn't one of them. Janea will portray Dr. Finkelstein, the wheelchair-ridden mad scientist who created Sally. "I'm used to always being the happy little girl in the show or somebody out there looking like a girl," Janea WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19-20, 26-27, and 2:30 said. "It's exciting for me to explore p.m. Oct. 21, 28 something different than the ballet-inWHERE: Pensacola Cultural Center, 400 S. a-tutu work that I'm used to."

news of the weird WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN APOSTROPHE MAKES Genevieve Snow, 29, hired a Brooklyn company, Joanna's Cleaning Service, to spruce up her apartment on Aug. 27. It wasn't her first transaction with the company, and she let two women in before leaving for work that day. But when one of Snow's roommates woke up, she found one of the cleaning ladies sitting on the couch, eating. "You know when you're not supposed to be doing something, people jerk up really quickly? They did that," the roommate, Kristen Nepomuceno, 28, told the New York Post. Nepomuceno left for work, but when she returned around 5:30 p.m., the apartment was trashed, one of the ladies was gone, and the other was passed out on the kitchen floor next to a smashed spice rack. She quickly left and called police, who arrived to find the cleaning lady was sitting on the couch, eating ice cream. "She is ... hammered, beyond hammered," Nepomuceno said. New York police refused to file a report, so Snow gave the cleaning service a bad review on Yelp. That's when the owner of the company Snow had previously used, Joanna Cleaning Service, got in touch to say a former (fired) employee had started Joanna's Cleaning Service and had taken Snow for a ride. Now Snow can't get in touch with EITHER Joanna and just wants to find out who's responsible for the damage so she can sue them. WEIRD SCIENCE? Officials in Midway, Arkansas, still don't know what caused flames to shoot out of a hole in the ground on Sept. 17. Volunteer fire chief Donald Tucker was summoned to private property at the edge of town where the flames were shooting up to 12 feet high, reported the Springfield News-Leader. Tucker inspected the site after the fire subsided and said the 2-foot-diameter hole was about 3 feet deep and made a 45-degree turn at the bottom. "I took a temperature reading of it and it showed 780 degrees inside the hole," he added, but he couldn't identify the source of the flames. There are no gas lines nearby, and there was no smell of gas before or during the fire. He also ruled out a meteor strike or flaming space junk. Geologists from the Arkansas Geological Survey inspected the hole and concluded it had been dug by an animal, but they took soil samples for testing. County judge Mickey Pendergrass said Satan had also been ruled out. AWESOME! Kotaku.com reported on Oct. 3 that gamer Xopher credits the arcade game "Dance Dance Revolution" with restoring his health. Xopher grew up in Arkansas and loved playing DDR at arcades. But when his cardiologist told him he'd have to trim down from his 325 pounds or risk needing a heart transplant, Xopher got serious about the game. He found an "excellently priced" DDR machine on eBay and restored it, starting with just three games a night. Between 2014 and 2018 he got to under 200 pounds: "I've gone from a blood pressure of 140/80 to 112/65. ... I was healthy for the first

By the Editors at Andrews McMeel

time in my life." He also said he's now playing DDR competitively. FAMILY VALUES On the day Ester Price, 95, of Pamplin, Virginia, was admitted to the hospital with an unexplained illness, her sonin-law, Jack David Price, 56, kindly brought her a coffee—"not an ordinary event," according to an investigator. Doctors found signs of meth in her system, reported The News & Advance. Jack Price's stepdaughter told the Appomattox County Sheriff 's Office she suspected he was trying to kill his mother-inlaw, and a neighbor said Price had once told him he should "put some meth in her drink," then claimed to be only kidding. On Oct. 4, Price was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to two felonies. FUNSUCKERS If you're over 12 years old in certain parts of Virginia, you'd better hustle up your own fun for Halloween night. In several communities surrounding Chesapeake and Newport News, KUTV reported, city codes make it a misdemeanor for anyone over 12 to wear a costume and troll the neighborhood for candy. Penalties include fines ($25 to $100) and up to six months in jail. Even lawful trick-or-treaters must be done by 8 p.m., and in Newport News, parents accompanying children may not wear masks. INEXPLICABLE Staci Tinney of Charleston, West Virginia, was expecting a bank statement when she picked up her mail on Oct. 8, but instead she found just one item in her mailbox: a laminated picture of a llama wearing sunglasses. Tinney's surveillance video showed "a woman was hanging out of the passenger's side of (a black pickup) truck ... removing things from my mailbox, and looked like she was putting something inside my mailbox," Tinney said. WCHS reported other neighbors also were missing mail and packages that day. Tinney told reporters the mail thieves claimed to be "handing out wedding invitations," but she was dubious: "We don't know anybody who knows a llama personally." Charleston police are investigating.

PEOPLE WITH TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS Producers and sellers of senbei, a type of rice cracker, joined together in Soka, Japan, on Oct. 3 to break the Guinness World Record for ... wait for it ... creating the largest rice cracker mosaic. About 200 people constructed a rendering of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" using seven different colors of rice cracker. The mosaic, according to United Press International, measured 1,250 square feet and required more than 23,000 crackers. {in}
