He graduated from college after winning the national college and university debate championship, being elected Student Body President and earning undergraduate degrees in theology and political science. He missed speaking at his college graduation due to a disagreement with the dean of students about the code of discipline. After holding some jobs for which he was only marginally qualified, he married Vicky and only then did he become successful, adhere to the code of discipline and finally got to speak at some graduations when universities gave him advanced degrees.

PORT OF PENSACOLA Offshore Inland missed the balloon payment due on its past due balance with the Port of Pensacola and asked to be allowed to continue paying $10,000 a month until it's paid off. The lease amendment was less than three months old before the company was in default. In true Trump fashion, Mayor Ashton Hayward kicked the issue to the Pensacola City Council without a recommendation other than "respond to the request." The council approved it, but why didn't the mayor's office just work out a reasonable payment in the beginning? BILOXI PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT

Biloxi School District officials have deleted "To Kill a Mockingbird" from its eighthgrade curriculum after the district received complaints that some of the book's language "makes people uncomfortable." "To Kill a Mockingbird" is Pulitzer Prizewinning novel written by the late Harper Lee about racism in a small Alabama town. It was published more than 50 years ago.

LOW INCOME POOL During the 2017 session, Gov.

The program helps Sacred Heart Hospital and other charity hospitals around the state take care of the poor.

IF NOT NOW, WHEN? In the wake of the Mandalay Bay massacre, Fox News host Sean Hannity blasted those calling for stricter gun control laws, accusing them of "politicizing the tragedy in an absolutely despicable display." In Hannity's opinion, any gun control discussions after the mass shooting, which left killed 57 people and injured another 500, were "shameful," "exploitative" and "pathetic." We heard similar arguments after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, and Pulse Night Club in Orlando. When President Barack Obama called for tighter gun laws after Dylann Roof killed nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C., former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal criticized the president for "trying to score cheap political points." After Omar Mateen killed 49 people at the Pulse, a few state lawmakers tried to ban assault rifles like the one used by Mateen. Presidential hopeful Donald Trump hijacked the debate by making the incident about radical Islamic terrorists. The gun control bills never made it out of the Florida House and Senate committees. So the question isâ€”if we can't talk about gun control after a horrible, mass killing, when can we? The answer for Mr. Hannity and other gun advocates is never. They don't want us to discuss reasonable gun controls, regardless of how many innocent people are killed in this country.

They don't want any facts introduced into the debate because the data doesn't support more access to guns. The U.S. is the most violent developed nation in the world. Our country has less than five percent of the world's population but almost half of the civilian-owned guns around the world. The Gun Violence Archive is a not-forprofit corporation formed in 2013 to provide free online public access to accurate information about gun-related violence. The organization was formed after a gunman in December 2012 walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and killed 20 children, six adults, and himself. Since then, there have been at least 1,518 mass shootings, with at least 1,715 people killed and 6,089 wounded. The prevalence of guns has made life deadlier for law enforcement. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health in 2015 looked at the homicide rates of law enforcement officers from 1996-2010. In states that had higher rates of household gun ownership, law enforcement officers were three times more likely to be murdered than officers working in low-gun states. Making guns more accessible to more people has not made our nation safer for the general public or law enforcement. The time has come for adult conversations about reasonable gun restrictions. It is the only way we will make our nation safer. {in}rick@inweekly.net

THE LEGAL DEFENSE OF DOUG UNDERHILL

Escambia County Commission / Courtesy Photo

By Duwayne Escobedo Ask Escambia County Commission Chairman Doug Underhill how much money he plans to raise for his legal defense fund and you might get the same answer as Inweekly did. "It's none of your business," Underhill snapped. Asked a second time, Underhill said $50,000. "That way ass clowns won't sue again," he said. Why is Underhill asking his supporters for money to defend himself in court? Former commissioner Gene Valentino filed a libel lawsuit in July against Underhill and Ray Guillory. Guillory, who was running as a Democrat for Valentino's seat in 2014, published private messages from 2013 to 2014 between himself and Underhill on Facebook that alleged Valentino was involved in an extramarital affair. Underhill beat the incumbent Valentino in the 2014 GOP District 2 primary by 1,116 votes. Guillory lost the Democratic primary to Deb Moore. Valentino supported Moore in the general election, but Underhill handily defeated the Democrat, 10,660-5,747. A previous Valentino defamation lawsuit filed in 2015 against Underhill and Inweekly was dismissed with prejudice by 66

a local judge. However, the court did not award the defendants their legal fees. Inweekly paid two-thirds of the legal fees of Clark Partington, since the lawsuit involved the newspaper and its reporter. According to county documents, Underhill owes the law firm $7,388.16. After his fellow commissioners refused to pay for his legal defense, Underhill last month announced his intention to form a legal defense fund. His announcement became the catalyst for former Commissioner Wilson Robertson to file an ethics complaint on Oct. 4 with the Florida Commission on Ethics against Underhill for creating the fund. Robertson served both District 5 and District 1 for 16 years before stepping down in 2016. In his complaint, Robertson wrote: "Now he is setting up a legal defense fund to ask for donations (gifts) from the same constituents he is currently serving, and is also seeking campaign contributions from these same constituents. Is this ethical?" This is not the first time Robertson has opposed Underhill. He supported Valentino in 2014 over Underhill. Last year, he endorsed Jeff Bergosh taking over his District 1 seat in the Republican primary against Karen Sindel, who had Underhill's backing. Robertson said Underhill should not be allowed to start a legal defense fund because both incidents happened before he took office. Plus, Robertson pointed out

that Underhill makes more than $77,000 as an Escambia County Commissioner. "He needs to step up and be a man and pay his own defense," the 77-year-old Robertson said. "This ain't about the county. These are total personal actions. It's almost like extortion. It's totally unethical to set up a fund." Robertson said he served with Valentino, but the two are not friends. Underhill made it clear what he thinks of both. "You never play dirty games with a pig," Underhill said. "They will drag you down into the mud. I will not bring myself to their level." The state authorizes local government agencies, such as Escambia County, to pay its elected officials legal bills, if they serve a public purpose. Board members pointed out at their Sept. 21 regular meeting that Underhill had not been elected to serve as commissioner at the time of the actions alleged in the lawsuits. They suggested the suits were both private matters and not public matters. The commissioners voted instead to direct County Attorney Alison Rogers to seek an Attorney General opinion specifically on the issue. Rogers also called the Florida Ethics Commission, she said. The state agency said Underhill could create a legal defense fund but would have to follow the state rules on gifts to elected officials. That means anyone who does business with the county can give $100 maximum. Additionally, Underhill must report the gifts once a quarter to the state's Division of Elections. Escambia County Commissioner Grover Robinson IV said during the meeting that he supported Underhill's request for money from the county to pay his legal expenses on the Valentino lawsuits. "He didn't have to say certain things about certain people but he chose to," Robinson said. "I want to stay out of this thing. It makes good news. It's a good read and good story. I just don't know what it does for government." Underhill said Valentino and Robertson are working together to drive him out of office. "Have we ever had a time when a commissioner was sued by a former commissioner and attacked by another?" he asked. "This is bullshit. (But) I'm winning this in the court of public opinion." He said he will have no trouble raising the money to pay legal fees. He added people who don't think he can are smoking crack. Underhill reported he raised a $100,000 in 100 days in his 2016 campaign. "I can raise money when the time comes," he said.

Underhill also took offense to Robertson's claim that he makes enough as a commissioner to pay his own legal expenses. "If you work a blue-collar job, it sounds like a lot," Underhill said. "But I make half of what I made in the private sector before becoming a commissioner." Elected officials in Florida have had problems with legal defense funds. In 2012, Wellington Mayor Bob Margolis got in trouble for accepting a $4,000 contribution from a lobbyist for his legal defense fund. He paid a $2,500 fine. Ten years earlier, Palm Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty was fined $3,750 after she accepted more than $20,000 in cash from developers and businesses courting favor from the commission for a legal defense fund. To avoid ethical issues, Underhill on Oct. 2 emailed a memo to his aide and intern that outlined six rules about how to handle calls to his District 2 office about the legal defense fund. He also copied Escambia County administrators and local media. Those include rules to not discuss the legal defense fund while on county property or time, writing, "This office is not a place for politics, it is a place for governance." He insisted, "at all times your words should be accurate."

"This office is not a place for politics, it is a place for governance." Doug Underhill He banned them from soliciting, collecting or handling donations to the fund. If someone calls his office, he directed his staff to give out his cellphone number and scripted what they should say to the caller. Underhill also scripted how they should respond, if someone calls his commission office to criticize him. For his sixth and final rule, Underhill made more of a political statement for the media and his constituents than guidelines on how he expected his two staff members to act. "The intent of those who are doing this is to distract and divert me from my efforts to reform this county," he wrote. "I will not allow that to happen. Every moment you spend thinking of this matter is a moment that we are not working toward the goals of this office and the needs of our constituents." He closed with these words of encourage for his staff, "The coming months will require extreme mission focus and tactical patience. I cannot think of two better people to be running my office than the team I have today." {in} inweekly.net

WHITE TAKES BIG STEP

Frank White / Courtesy Photo

By Duwayne Escobedo Almost a year into his political career as a Florida House Rep, Frank White has set his sights on ascending to Attorney General. Florida's chief legal post has drawn three Republicans, so far, to replace incumbent Pam Bondi, who cannot run for a third time because of term limits. The office is one of four elected cabinet posts in Florida. Additionally in the past, the position has served as a jumping off point for bids for gov-

ernor of the third largest state in the country, such as Charlie Crist and Bill McCollum. White said he plans to defend the state constitution from liberal attacks on the death penalty and gun laws and protect consumers, "especially seniors." "I wanted a new public service where I could make a difference," said the 39-year-old White, who plans to complete his two-year term serving District 2. "The Attorney General has a tremendous influence on Floridians. A state rep can, as well, but it's nothing like the Attorney General's role in state government."

He's getting into a race that already has two Republican candidates. Hillsborough Circuit Court Judge Ashley Moody, who is 42, resigned in June to run and has already earned Bondi's support. She became the youngest judge in Florida when she won election to the court at age 31 in 2006. Additionally, Moody served as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Florida, worked at Holland & Knight LLP, was an assistant to the President of the American Bar Association, and taught as an adjunct professor at Stetson University College of Law. Moody, who plans to continue the fight against opioid abuse, is well connected. Her father is James Moody, the senior U.S. District Judge for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Also making an AG bid is 49-year-old Jay Fant, who has served two terms in the House. The Jacksonville politician has said his top priorities are defending citizens' constitutional rights, standing up for small business and fighting big government. Looming as potential GOP candidates are Florida Senate President Joe Negron and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis. Republicans hold all state wide offices except the U.S. Senate seat filled by Democrat Bill Nelson. White said he is qualified to become the state's 38th Attorney General. He is the chief financial officer and attorney for his father-in law's Sansing Dealer Group, which owns auto dealerships throughout Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. Additionally, White served as the attorney over business and securities law at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld. He served as a legislative aide to U.S. Congressman Mac Thornberry, now the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services.Plus, White co-founded the Northwest Florida chapter of the Federalist Society, a conservative legal group. He also wants Florida voters to know seven of his eight bills passed in the state House. The friendships he has made in the House and

floor debates on the death penalty, enhanced criminal penalties and body cameras has also prepared him, White said. As a freshman lawmaker, White also helped create the Tech Caucus to help educate Tallahassee lawmakers on innovations and technologies to improve the handling of cutting-edge issues. California, Texas and Massachusetts have created similar active groups to help their states set strong policies. "I think it's a door open to me," said White, who earned his a law degree and Master's in Business Administration from Southern Methodist University. "I think I'm ready." He'll have to be ready to crisscross the state to improve his name recognition and raise money for the election in 2018. Already Moody has raised $876,426 for her campaign war chest, while Fant has $959,581. "We will have the financial reserves to win," said White who filed to run Friday, Oct. 13. "Running statewide is massively expensive." If elected, White would become the first Attorney General from the Pensacola metro area since Thomas Franklin West, who served from 1913 to 1917. The Milton resident went on to serve on the Florida Supreme Court for nearly eight years. While Bondi is publically supporting Moody to become the second woman to serve as Attorney General, White complimented her service. "Her leadership in shutting down pill mills in Florida earned her national recognition, and her efforts saved lives," he said. "She has been an outstanding Attorney General. But there is still work to be done." White also spoke highly of both Moody and Fant. But he said he would fight the hardest to make positive changes. "I'm confident people will see I'm the most conservative candidate in the race," he said. "The Attorney General's office is the largest law firm in the state. Florida, as the third largest state, serves as a bellwether. We have a tremendous influence for good." {in}

"Our Confederate Dead" / Courtesy Photo

HAYWARD AND THE STATUE NewsRadio 1620 earlier this month tried to get Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward to say what his current plan was for the Confederate monument in Lee Square. Two months have passed since Mayor Hayward announced he wanted to move the statue dedicated to the Confederate dead. The city's "Transparent Pensacola" page still states the mayor wants the monument moved. However, he wouldn't confirm that was still his position while on the radio. Now the mayor says he wants the community to put the statue in proper context and have a public discussion on the issue. The mayor brought up with NewsRadio host Andrew McKay a conversation he had with a lady on Oct. 3. "Andrew, yesterday I was driving home from Destin and Fort Walton and I spoke to a lady about it—you know people see me on TV they talk to me. She knew who I was. And we had a very good dialogue and conversation about it. She talked about history and talked about the different subject matters that go with Civil War so it was very interesting to hear her perspective." He added, "But, as we talked about it before I think, you know the city has one monument. It's very controversial on both sides and we greatly respect that." The mayor said he wanted Council Executive Don Kraher to do something but he didn't complete the thought. Instead, he jumped back to context, education and conversation. "I do think that we need to put them in better context and really educate the community about it because that conversation really was a positive that came out of this whole thing—discussing what really happened and the position everyone was in," he said. When pressed that it sounded like he still favored moving it, but the mayor wouldn't commit. "I think the most important thing, Andrew, is what we discussed and to put it in 010 1

the right context. You know whether we move it or don't move it. I think public opinion is very important, as we said it was from the very get-go," said Hayward. "I want to make that very clear we're not going to do anything without public input. You know there's something on the books that talks about that when you talk about all our monuments in the city you know you can't just have historical markers moved. So I think it's important to have that discussion." When McKay tried to summarize the mayor's position as being "you want to talk with people and get more consensus around the choice," Hayward said he knows his city.

"I think public opinion is very important, as we said it was from the very get-go." Ashton Hayward He said, "You know what I'm saying is that I am everywhere in the community. And I've had both sides say: 'you know, Mayor, why don't we put this in the right context;' 'Mayor, that was a great conversation that came out of St. John's Cemetery;' 'Mayor, the Veterans Memorial Park is a place.'" He continued, "I think we need to be intelligent on what we do… the best place might be to leave it right there. The best thing might be to move it, but I do think putting it in the right context the way it was talked about—no matter if it's Charlottesville, Pensacola, Florida and Richmond, Virginia. Where we do [move it] needs to have some educational components around that."

CYBER GULF COAST Last Friday, Flori-

daWest, University of West Florida and cybersecurity educators and professionals unveiled the Cybersecurity Strategic Plan for Pensacola at the UWF Commons Conference Center. The plan consists of short-term and long-term goals and strategies for building a thriving cybersecurity workforce, strengthening partnerships to enhance innovation and economic development, enhance technology infrastructure and

market the Pensacola region as "Live Coastal. Work Cyber." Zach Jenkins, UWF Haas Center director, spoke at the unveiling and said Northwest Florida is one of seven metropolitan statistical areas nationally with a "very strong concentration for cybersecurity." Cybersecurity strengths and assets for Northwest Florida include military, infrastructure, business and living, public sector organizations, private sector organizations, education and training. The cyber strategic plan cited UWF as a cybersecurity research leader in Florida and credited its students and faculty members for being engaged in a diverse array of cybersecurity projects. One of those projects is the Florida Cyber Range that debuted Tuesday at the ITEN WIRED Summit. The UWF Center for Cybersecurity partnered with Metova CyberCENTS to create the simulator to provide advanced training and testing solutions through cybersecurity exercises, competitions, conferences, operations and research. Metova CyberCENTS President Bill Dunn, who serves on the cybersecurity advisory committee, said worldwide spending on cybersecurity is expected to surpass $1 trillion and cybercrime damages are expected to total $6 trillion by 2021. "Folks, to me, that sounds like an opportunity," Dunn said.

PATEL PLAN STRAYED In an email on the

eve of Oct. 5 commission meeting, hotelier Julian MacQueen reminded the Escambia Board of the County Commissioners of his concerns about Jay Patel's proposal to build a new arena and field house and have the county sign a 30-year lease and guarantee to pay any operational losses. The founder of Innisfree Hotels took time from his record-setting flight around the world to point out that Patel and his Pensacola Area Development Partners have little or no risk on the $65-$100 development. "In my opinion, (Shortfall Guarantee) becomes the guarantee for debt and equity payments, (after the hotel fixed lease payment) ultimately pushing the underwriting of the full faith and competence to the county," wrote MacQueen. "Good for equity raising but not the deal we were brought in the beginning." MacQueen's email had an attachment – "PADP (Pensacola Area Development Partners) Letter of Intent (LOI) Review and comments, by Julian" dated Aug. 22. The details that MacQueen outlined are nearly identical to what Patel presented on Oct. 5.

He said that the deal was a good one for Hunt, the Texas company putting up the money. "In its totality, the agreement is one that I would propose if I were in the position of Hunt. The risk as it is structured in the LOI, is low for Hunt and almost risk free for the PADP," MacQueen told the commissioners. "It is clearly designed for cities and public facilities that have a dire need to reestablish their infrastructure and bring life back into a derelict area or simply an area that is looking for the expertise of a collection of companies that have been successful in public-private facilities" The hotelier said he had been initially attracted to the project because he hoped it would broaden our market and attract more sports tourism especially for areas other than the beach hotels. He pointed out that arenas, convention centers and convention hotels are not moneymakers and are highly subsidized. "Since 98 percent of all Convention Centers are not profitable (see the most recent legacy of the Okaloosa Convention facility), the concept is that the community will benefit in quality of life and a spin-off to the tax base will be created in second-hand revenue through related businesses, like hotels, retail, and restaurants," he wrote. "While I do believe that government has a responsibility to subsidize public/ private ventures, we need to be focused on where the biggest benefit is for our size community and its natural attributes."

"I feel the likelihood of a successful outcome is small if not impossible under the current LOI and scope." Julian MacQueen MacQueen believed that Patel's proposal "strayed away" from this original intent of the sports tourism complex proposed by Pensacola Sports. "This project is simply too big and the likelihood of a city and county of our size supplementing the Shortfall combined with the Lease Payment to the County is too great," he wrote. "…I feel the likelihood of a successful outcome is small if not impossible under the current LOI and scope." MacQueen recommended, "If we were to come back to our original intent and propose a reasonable sized Sports Facility, even with the huge financial commitment in our competitive set from Foley and Panama City to this sports inweekly.net

market, I feel we could do something for our county that would make us all proud and not be saddled with version 2.0 of the existing civic center for decades to come."

BROS STICK TOGETHER When the Pen-

sacola City Council held a special meeting on Sept. 20, the audience heckled Councilman Larry Johnson when he got up to leave the meeting early. A citizen shouted a reference to the councilman's popular bar, The Azalea Cocktail Lounge, "See you at the Z tonight!" Johnson said, "This is what we have to endure with North Hill—every time." He sat back down for a few minutes but then got up again, slamming the door as he left. Council members getting upset isn't new and rarely do snide remarks make it into print, but PNJ reporter Jim Little caught the exchange on his phone and the newspaper put up on its website. Two days later, Mayor Ashton Hayward fired off a letter to Council President Brian Spencer. The mayor said he had reviewed the video of the meeting and talked with City Administrator Eric Olson. He expressed his displease with the tone of the discussion and disparaging remarks Spencer allowed the public to make. However, Mayor Hayward said he was defending City Attorney Lysia Bowling and made no mention of Johnson's exchange at the meeting. Councilwoman Sherri Myers sent Hayward an email asking for details on how Bowling was disparaged but received no reply. She placed on the Oct. 12 agenda a vote of confidence for how Spencer chaired the meeting. Inweekly reviewed the video of the twohour special meeting and found no insults hurled in Bowling's direction by the council or public. The city attorney answered questions but never appeared offended. When confidence vote came up at the agenda review, Councilman Johnson was the only one to speak in defense of the mayor's letter. Calling the confidence vote a "circus item," Johnson argued the mayor was exercising his First Amendment right and asked for City Attorney Lysia Bowling to render an opinion on the matter. "If I could, Mr. President, ask the city attorney if she would render an opinion on if the mayor has First Amendment rights…" said Johnson. "When you talk about people having First Amendment rights, doesn't that pass on to all people, even the mayor? I mean to me, he would have a October 19, 2017

First Amendment right to express himself, so this circus item can move forward to Thursday night, but I believe he has a right to… and whoever the mayor is, to express themselves, too." Bowling appeared to be little perplexed as to what Johnson was requesting. "I would say that there's a First Amendment right to speak," said the city attorney. "I don't see that it was a direction of council, but I could look at it more carefully if you wish. I understand the issue that you're speaking of. I don't think there's a charter violation just from looking at the language." Johnson said that he thought the confidence vote was a waste of time since the council president's last meeting would be in November.

"Either he has a First Amendment right to express himself along with everyone else or not, so I just think we could be spending our time with something more important than this right here." Larry Johnson

"I think it is a poor use of our time, so on a First Amendment… you know, you can't have it both ways," he said. "Either he has a First Amendment right to express himself along with everyone else or not, so I just think we could be spending our time with something more important than this right here. Thank you." Myers countered that the confidence vote had nothing to do with free speech. "Nobody's saying anybody doesn't have the right to speak, but the council, we also have the right to express our views," she said. "And the mayor, I would love for him to start attending council meetings. He can certainly show up and express himself, and he can also sign up for three minutes and express himself however he wants to do it..." Myers continued, "First Amendment doesn't even factor in here. Nobody is restricting anybody's freedom of speech." The council approved the vote of confidence at its Oct. 12 meeting by a 6-1 vote. Johnson was the sole vote against it. He said to Spencer about his vote, "It has nothing to do with a vote of confidence for you, but I do believe in First Amendment rights and I believe that everyone has those." {in} 11

Kasher and a 13-year-old Oberst first played together in the band Commander Venus in the early '90s. "Conor and I are lifelong buds, as most all of us are who grew up playing music and hanging out," Kasher said. "We don't all live in Omaha anymore, "I'm the same songwriter throughout," so it's not about hanging at the he said.

Tim Kasher / Courtesy Photo Frontman of Cursive and The Good Life, Tim Kasher is back together with longtime friend and fellow Omaha native Conor Oberst, at least for a couple of weeks. Currently supporting Oberst on tour, the Midwestern indie darlings will be playing Vinyl Sunday night. Though he's playing the role of opener on this tour, Kasher has been around just as long as Oberst. He has a repertoire of 18 albums and with a recent interest in filmmaking, he's still making moves. Kasher just released "No Resolution," his third solo endeavor earlier this year, and made his directorial debut with a film of the same name. "The songs on the album came first, as they were initially being prepared for an earlier script I was putting into production that later got scrapped," Kasher said. "The script was similar in dramatic content to 'No Resolution,' so I carried the songs over October 19, 2017

to the new production, changing some lyrics to accommodate when necessary. Kasher said that he considers the album and film to have separate relationships, as in they both work on their own, but the film is very closely attached to the album, as the songs are used as the score and heard throughout. This is the first script Kasher has gotten into production, though he's written many. "I enjoy it," he said. "'No Resolution' is about an engaged couple on the precipice of a rocky relationship over the backdrop of New Year's Eve. Lots of arguing." Kasher said that he's been working on getting scripts into production for a handful of years now, but that this is the first movie he's gotten made because it's the first one he produced fully on his own. "I have written a handful of scripts since this latest production and plan on moving

@rt at the @nnex Launches

"Chaos Theory" by Brandon Barnhart A brand new popup exhibit at the 10,000-square feet Cowork @nnex will soon become a staple of Gallery Night. The series, @rt at the @nnex, kicks off this Friday and will feature urban contemporary art from local graffiti and street artists. The series is a collaboration between art firm Leader Art Consultants LLC (LAC) and Cowork @nnex, which is a community workspace in the recently renovated Blount Building. Alexis Leader, director of LAC, said that the exhibit consists of 27 original works by 14 local artists, with an additional collaborative piece by Nate Lyle and Brandon Barnhart that was commissioned specifically for Cowork @nnex. "We opened up submissions for graffiti and street art, but also for works influenced by contemporary urban art," Leader said. "As a result we were able to bring together familiar Gallery Night artists, such as Rafi Perez and Rachael Pongetti, with emerging and established street artists such as Alec Garcia and Presto St."

If you're curious about that lecture Leader mentioned, you aren't alone. We were too, so we decided to reach out and get some details. Often times when it is introduced, public art is met with discourse from lots of varying viewpointsâ€”artists, art historians, critics and the viewing public. In an upcoming lecture "The Legacy of Contested Public Art," UWF lecturer of art Carrie Fonder and Valerie George, associate professor of art, will explore how commissioning entities and viewing audiences have dealt with contested public works of art throughout history. "One infamous example of a contested work of art that was ultimately removed is Richard Serra's 'Tilted Arc,'" George said. "It was a site-specific sculpture originally commissioned by the United States General Services Administration Arts-inArchitecture program in front of a federal 414 1

Works include everything from graffiti on canvas, found objects and skateboard decks, street art inspired abstracts and video projection and a 40 locker mural by artists Lyle and Barnhart. "Works are painted, sprayed, stenciled, photographed, projected and more," Leader said. "It is an intimate, local exploration of the graffiti/street art movement." Leader said that recently graffiti and street art has become a global art movement and, within the realm of the art market, an economically viable one. "Street art and graffiti techniques are evolving and collectors are taking notice," she said. "It's why auction houses and art fairs are struggling to keep up with demand. This is affirmed by prices escalating well over a million for outsider to industry darlings of the field, like Banksy. However, I do not agree with dealers who profit from unsanctioned sales of street art and I sympathize with the struggle many of these artists face in seeing their work removed from the context they intended." Leader said that this popup contains works submitted personally by each artist and approved for exhibit and sale. "Pensacola is constantly evolving, as is this movement," she said. "We are being introduced to new ideas and welcoming more public art into our city. If we can elevate the graffiti and street art movement locally, even for a onenight popup, to help others appreciate the line between vandalism and art then we did our job. I don't want to remove the works from the street. I want to inspire others to fill it." The community that artists work within

often shape their style and Leader said that she looks forward to seeing how Pensacola affects local artists and their contribution to the evolution of urban contemporary art. "With artist collectives such as Art Beyond Walls, events like CUBED, UWF lectures on contested public art and businesses seeking commissions by graffiti artists to impact their space; the notice is undeniable," Leader said. "The movement has evolved from a shadowy subculture to an increasingly dominant and appreciated medium." Leader said that as an art consultant, she thinks any new residential or commercial building downtown is an opportunity for the arts community. "Downtown redevelopment impacts the arts through businesses such as my own as well as individual artists and arts-based nonprofits and organizations," she said. Leader said that she recently relocated from LAC's former Garden Street address to Cowork @nnex to be in the center of the creative culture and Palafox energy. "Working daily with others who prioritize community, collaboration and are supportive of startups has been a game-changer," she said. The Cowork @nnex is a shared coworking space with memberships for desks, private offices and conference rooms. They host workshops, member socials and events, support start-ups and create a collaborative community and work space. "Collaborating with Alexis and celebrating the diversity of the arts, whilst providing exposure and opportunity for local talent

and start-ups, makes sense for us as a way to participate in Gallery Night," said Cowork @ nnex community manager Karen McLouth. "We want to be a place of encouragement and growth for all, personally and professionally, whatever your passion is, pushing the boundaries of the 'norm' and helping to support our community, whatever that may look like." Leader said that her firm will continue to showcase curated artistic endeavors by local and regional artists. "In November we will exhibit artwork by members of a newly formed professional artist's collective, Creative Circle. I look forward to sharing more about this group and its mission in the weeks to come." Leader said that graffiti and street art is rooted in bringing artistic expression to the public. "What better venue than downtown's most popular monthly art gathering?" she said. "Galleries and museums dedicated to showcasing urban contemporary art are popping up globally but not locally. I think it is important to give those artists desiring new venues to showcase their artwork an opportunity and a space to thrive." {in}

building in Manhattan. Commissioned in 1979 the sculpture was approved by the U.S. General Services Administration, constructed in 1981 and become the centerpiece of public debate. It was removed in 1989." George said that those who worked in the area found the sculpture extremely disruptive to their daily routines, and within months the work had driven over 1300 bureaucratic employees in the greater metro area to sign a petition for its removal. "There is a host of reasons that artwork may be rejected by its intended audience, including the content, aesthetics, politics and process surrounding the commission of the work," George said. "For example, the aesthetics of the Eiffel Tower were widely contested when it was first erected in Paris in 1889 for the World Fair. If its detractors had their way, it wouldn't be the icon of Paris that it is today."

SOPHISTICATED SELFIE If you haven't already, this weekend is your last chance to catch "The Reflected Self: A Cultural History of Portraiture" at the Pensacola Museum of Art. The museum transformed their Project Space for the exhibit, which will be on display during Gallery Night before it closes Sunday. "The Reflected Self" is a site for interaction and inspiration where visitors get to engage with the portraiture genre as a viewer and participant. Selected works from the PMA permanent collection and on loan are part of the exhibit including Vivian Maier, Picasso and Gilbert Stuart. This exhibit also features contemporary artists Adrian Coates, Patryk Stasieczek and Marzia Ransom. PMA Assistant Curator Felicia Gail said that visitors can try their hand at their own self-portrait at an interactive station. Activate your own portrait by being part of the exhibition with selfie and portrait sitting stations. See the "The Reflected Self" from 4-8 p.m. during Gallery Night at Pensacola Museum of Art, 407 S. Jefferson St. inweekly.net

DIFFERENCE MAKERS POWER OF LIFE RECIPIENTâ€”EJ GOMES When Egas "EJ" Gomes joined Gulf Power in 2015, he fit right into the Gulf Power's hyper-vigilant safety culture that's defined by the mantra "be your brother's keeper." He's lived by that code since serving two tours of duty in Iraq. And armed with battlefield first aid training, the Energy Services project manager has never hesitated to spring into action to render aid to fellow soldiers, Iraqi civilians and even total strangers. When two motorcyclists were involved in an accident on U.S. 98 in Gulf Breeze in late spring, he was the first to stop and help the victims, putting aside his own safety until he could hand off the care to emergency responders. For his valor, Gulf Power awarded Gomes the Power of Life Award, which recognizes an employee whose actions resulted in the life of another person being saved or sustained in a situation of imminent danger. Gomes is the 25th employee to have received the award since 2003. Stan Connally, Gulf Power Chairman, President and CEO, presented the award to Gomes during a leadership team meeting, saying his actions exemplify the commitment employees make to each other every day. "It's a pleasure to have you on the team," Connally said. "To see you demonstrate that kind of aid to another human is completely worth the Power of Life Award." Gomes was humble about being honored for something he said is instinctual. "In the Air Force, we trained a lot in first aid and buddy care," said Gomes, who is now a major in the Air Force Reserve. "It's second nature." Gomes is a native of Boston, and has lived in Georgia before moving to Northwest Florida in 2007 where he served active duty at Hurlburt Air Force Base in Mary Esther; and at Eglin Air Force Base, Fort Walton Beach; and Tyndall Air Force Base, Panama City. This was the third time in recent years he was the first on the scene to render aid to victims. Twice when he was traveling to Orlando for family vacations, he found himself stopping to help accident victims. "On one trip, we were stopped at an Interstate-10 rest area and heard a car fish-tailing and coming into the Semi-Truck parking area at a high rate of speed. It was obvious the breaks were out. The car broadsided a tree," he said. "I was holding my newborn daughter, but instincts kicked in, and I started running toward the accident." His wife, Shannon, yelled to give her the baby, as Gomes rushed to the car along with a family friend, who grabbed some paper towels for Gomes. The victims, three family members, were all injured. He rendered first aid. In another bizarre incident, a planned family vacation to Disney World was nearly cutshort, when he assisted a woman who attempted to commit suicide by running her vehicle into a tree on the interstate.
