DENNIS BAXLEY During the 2019 session, State Sen. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) filed legislation to kick Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings off the board of directors of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, even though the city of Orlando owns the airport and state law requires both mayors serve on the board. Baxley later withdrew it when the media called him out. JIM C. BECK Georgia Insurance Commissioner Jim C. Beck has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of wire fraud, mail fraud and money laundering. The 38-count indictment alleges that Beck stole more than $2 million from his former employer, the Georgia Underwriting Association, during the five years just prior to Beck's election to statewide office last year. Beck, a Republican, narrowly won the insurance commissioner race with 51 percent of the vote. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

More than four months after DeSantis took office, the Florida Department of Health does not have a secretary. DeSantis' nominee, Scott Rivkees, still serves as chairman of the University of Florida College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. The News Service of Florida reports Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez appears to be playing a key role in running the department. Though state law requires that the department secretary be a Florida licensed medical doctor, Nuñez is not. She is a former lawmaker from Miami.

THE END OF FEUDALISM Inweekly hired Political Matrix to conduct a poll to see how satisfied city voters are with the performance of the Pensacola City Council and to see if they believe their council representative should look out for their district more than the needs of the city as a whole. Of the 579 likely city voters polled, we found nearly three-fourths, 73 percent, were satisfied to extremely satisfied with the council's performance so far this year. The breakdown was 41 percent satisfied, 16 percent very satisfied and 16 percent extremely satisfied. Only 10 percent were extremely unsatisfied. Two years ago, the Pensacola Young Professional's Quality of Life survey found that only about a third of the city residents polled, 35 percent, gave the city council a positive rating, and 24 percent gave the council a poor rating. The turnaround appears to be due to the openness, sense of collegiality and professionalism that Mayor Grover Robinson has brought to city hall, as well as the addition of two new council members, Jared Moore and Ann Hill. Under Mayor Ashton Hayward, the city was divided into seven feudal kingdoms, and the two at-large council seats were abolished. Those feudal lords who had King Ashton's favor got riches for their domains. Those who didn't were ostracized and ridiculed and their constituents punished.

It's unfortunate that the eight years of abuse the council suffered still taints council discussions occasionally as it did at the recent strategy workshop. However, city residents don't see Pensacola as a confederacy of districts fighting for budgetary scrapes, and they don't want their council person to have that view either. When asked whether they thought their city council representative should look out for their district more than the needs of the city as a whole, only 38 percent felt representing the district was the priority. A little over 42 percent felt their council person should concentrate on the city as a whole. The remaining participants, 20 percent, were undecided. No district had half or more of its voters that approved of their council person focusing more on their district than the needs of the city as a whole. The two most district-centric districts were D2 represented by Sherri Myers (47 percent) and D5 represented by Gerald Wingate (46 percent). The most city-focused districts were D3 represented by Andy Terhaar (56 percent) and D6 represented by Ann Hill (47 percent). The city has entered a new political era. The challenge for the council is to forget the enmity of the past and to learn how to balance the needs of the city with those of their district. {in} rick@inweekly.net

PRESERVING HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS ted rather than having to scrap them or spend significantly more money and time." The City Council was also split in their initial approval of the overlay district ordinance. Council President Andy Terhaar and Councilman P.C. Wu voted against the measure. But a majority of city council looked like they're ready to give their final approval to the measure come June. The ordinance's sponsor, Councilwoman Jewel Cannada-Wynn, said the city needed the new protections to ensure neighborhoods maintained their integrity. "If you drive around the neighborhoods, you will see the character of the neighborhoods changing," she said. "And you have no control over it."

By Jeremy Morrison Pensacola appears poised to provide protections for its historic neighborhoods, and Councilwoman Ann Hill couldn't be more pleased. "I live in the CRA," Hill told her fellow council members. "I'm so thrilled, I feel like I can sleep again thinking that, you know, the neighborhood is going to look as good or better the next time I wake up."

"I'm so thrilled, I feel like I can sleep again thinking that, you know, the neighborhood is going to look as good or better the next time I wake up." Ann Hill On May 16, the city council gave its initial blessing to an ordinance establishing the Community Redevelopment Area Urban Design Overlay District. The district encompasses a collection of neighborhoods near the city's downtown core and aims to ensure that neighborhoods maintain their character through the implementation of design standards. The city's approval of this CRA overlay district—which requires a final vote in June—has been a long time coming. The process has taken more than a year and consisted of 20 public meetings. But Councilwoman Hill has been engaged in this discussion for much longer. She recalls a 2003 CRA workshop with residents of the Belmont-DeVilliers neighborhood, during which the bones of the overlay district were beginning to take shape. Belmont-DeVilliers, where Hill has lived since the early '90s, is a historically AfricanAmerican neighborhood and home to streets lined with shotgun houses, narrow structures with rooms arranged one behind the other and fronted by wide porches. 66

"Anyone who has spent time in Belmont-DeVilliers is aware of the shotgunstyle homes that have perfectly met workforce housing needs for decades," Hill stated in an email following the council's approval of the overlay district. She explained how the 2003 workshop geared toward developing a Neighborhood Land Use Plan was needed to ensure the preservation of the neighborhood's "diverse culture while eradicating the pockets of blight in the neighborhood." "It was clear the attendees wanted these shotguns restored or renovated," she said, "with more affordable and owneroccupied infill housing, along with the development of thriving small businesses." According to Hill, the main takeaway from that neighborhood workshop was, "Don't push out people." The concepts that came out of that workshop—essentially that new construction should reflect the neighborhood's character—are now years later being enshrined in the new overlay district. "The CRA Urban Design Overlay District ordinance goes a long way to establish or at least encourage these design guidelines," Hill noted.

CONTROL OVER IT

Pensacola's new CRA overlay district encompasses neighborhoods west of Ninth Avenue near downtown that do not currently have protections. It includes neighborhoods like North Hill, the Tanyards and Old East Hill. It does not, notably, cover the whole of East Hill, leaving the neighborhood north of Cervantes unaffected. The overlay district ordinance governs various architectural aspects of construction. It dictates building height and orientation as well as building materials. It also addresses things like parking, lighting and landscape. The ordinance applies to new construction, including demolitions and rebuilds. Marina Khoury, an urban planner with Miami-based DPZ, who has worked with the city to develop this new district, described the

new protections as "light." She said, because of this, the ordinance may need to be revisited and strengthened at some future date. "The one thing I will say since it is such a light touch, it does not inoculate you from bad architects and bad architecture," Khoury told the city council. The public's general reaction to this new district was mostly positive at the council meeting. Residents from various neighborhoods included in the district expressed hope that the ordinance would help preserve the historic and cultural character of their neighborhoods. "As I walk through my neighborhood every day, I see houses that don't meet the requirement, that don't fit the character," said Zachary Lane, who lives on Brainard Street. Marilyn Wiggins, president of the Tanyard Neighborhood Association, told the council that she was hopeful the new district would ease problems like the overcrowding of houses and insufficient parking that she feels have been brought on by new development. "I'm hoping some of the things are going to benefit the whole neighborhood," Wiggins said. But the reaction to this overlay district effort has not been unanimously positive. Developers, for example, are fearful that the new design standards will be overly limiting and constrict their projects. Local developer Fred Gunther told the council that while "a lot of great changes" had been made to the proposed ordinance, he still had reservations about various aspects of it. For instance, he was concerned with the lack of a variance process and the possibility of parking restrictions derailing or complicating projects. Gunther requested that council consider holding off on implementing the ordinance, effectively grandfathering in projects currently in the hopper. "If you do pass it, I would ask that you delay implementation," he said. "Designs are being done across the city by architects and engineers, and it would be nice to have time to finish those designs and get them permit-

"If you drive around the neighborhoods, you will see the character of the neighborhoods changing. And you have no control over it." Jewel Cannada-Wynn

THE EAST HILL QUESTION

It has become commonplace recently for houses in certain neighborhoods to be demolished and replaced with more modern residences, often with no regard to fitting in with the existing landscape. One neighborhood in which this practice has proliferated is East Hill. "I'm seeing this all over, where there are vacant lots in East Hill," said Councilwoman Sherri Myers. Myers used to live in East Hill, next door to an old shotgun with a "big beautiful oak tree" in the yard. After the councilwoman moved from the neighborhood, the shotgun was demolished, and the tree cut down. "They built an ultra-modern looking building that looks nothing like the character of our street and our neighborhood there," Myers said. The city's proposed overlay district does not include East Hill. This is because, Councilwoman Hill explained, residents of the neighborhood expressed a desire to be left out. As a result, the city's planning board excluded East Hill before delivering an ordinance to the city council. Hill added that the ordinance can always be revised in the future to include neighborhoods like East Hill if residents push for such an addition. She said, "Should those residents have a change of mind and want to participate." Council members will again address the overlay issue at their June meeting, at which time they will need to approve the ordinance establishing the district for a second time before it makes it on the books. {in} inweekly.net

OPENING EMS 'WOUND' double assigning would simply allow the department's actual shortfalls to be evident and that currently, the practice was "covering up the costs of providing services." "The practice of double assigning would, in fact, hide the fact that you don't have enough equipment on the street," Underhill said, pointing to the recent internal review of the department that noted deficiencies in that area. Commissioner Bergosh saw the matter completely opposite. He called the practice of double assigning "efficient" and a "smart solution." "Keeping running, keeping rolling," Bergosh said. Chairman May noted that double assigning was employed when other EMS units were unavailable to take incoming calls. "It's just when you have no one else available—someone's been shot, someone's dying, and no one else is available," May said.

'LET ME EXPLAIN'

By Jeremy Morrison After publicly peeling back another layer of Escambia County's issues within its Public Safety Department, county commissioners decided May 16 to hold off on taking any further action concerning procuring training services for Emergency Medical Services personnel. Commissioners had decided previously to move ahead with the EMS training at the urging of Medical Director Dr. Rayme Edler. The stall on training—coming as the county has just wrapped up an internal review of its Public Safety Department and as the Florida Department of Health continues its investigation of Escambia's EMS—came after a citizen distributed an email exchange that revealed a conversation between EMS personnel regarding the "importance of not double assigning" and the "need to show a delay and need for more trucks." After glancing at the emails, most of the county commission seemed concerned. "'We need to show a delay'—what does that mean? What are we saying? Can someone answer that?" asked Commissioner Jeff Bergosh, quoting from the exchange. "This is a real problem, this email."

ALARMING, OR NOT AT ALL?

The emails in question, distributed by

Melissa Pino, involved a request from Mike Jenkins, head of Local 325, the county EMS and Paramedics union. In a March 29 email to former fire and EMS Chief Rusty Nail, Jenkins requested that the practice referred to as "double assigning"—during which an ambulance finishing up a call at a hospital will be directed to another call instead of returning to an assigned post and waiting for an incoming call—be curtailed. This double assigning practice, the union president contended, was obscuring the need for additional equipment. Most of the Escambia commissioners expressed reservations about the notion of first responders, as Commission Chairman Lumon May put it, "purposefully taking their time or delaying." May called it "alarming," while Commissioner Steven Barry described it as "very troubling." There was, however, one exception— Commissioner Doug Underhill saw nothing improper in the emails.

"It's not alarming at all. The alarming part is the double assigning." Doug Underhill "It's not alarming at all," Underhill said. "The alarming part is the double assigning." Underhill said that curbing the practice of

Following the May 16 discussion between commissioners regarding the EMS emails stressing the need to "show a delay" to demonstrate the "need for more trucks," Jenkins wrote a letter to commissioners addressing the matter. "Let me explain my email," Jenkins begins, before laying out an argument supporting the need for more EMS vehicles. Essentially restating at length the notion contained in his email, the union president maintained that when ambulances are "pulling into a hospital and get told that you need to get turned around quick ... this is not demonstrating to commissioners the benefit and importance of having enough trucks on the road." Jenkins also pointed to the county's recent internal review, which determined that EMS was running low on vehicles, while at the same time Escambia's emergency call volume continued to grow. The north end of the county, he states, is in particularly dire straits, as there are times when a call from Century will get serviced out of the W Street area, 45 miles away. After Jenkins sent his March 29 email, he said in his letter to commissioners that Weaver, the recently resigned public safety director, told him he would also send an accompanying graph detailing the number of times EMS did not meet their 10-minute response time goal. "He showed me the graph he was sending and stated that the commissioners would have to see if they wanted to accept the risk of not getting ambulances to the

citizens of Escambia County in a timely manner," Jenkins wrote, adding that he did not know if the graph had been sent out. Jenkins ended his letter by offering to meet with commissioners and explain his position further. Neither Jenkins nor Weaver responded to Inweekly's requests to talk about this issue.

'LET'S JUST OPEN UP THE WOUND'

While the EMS union president was not present during the May 16 commission meeting, Nick Gradia, head of Escambia's Professional Firefighter union, was in the room. At one point during the day's conversation, Commissioner Barry asked Gradia if he felt the concept laid out in the email was appropriate. "Have you ever written an email like that?" Barry said. Gradia said that he had not and conceded that the email "sounds horrible" but also that he felt it was "taken out of context." The union head told commissioners that he understood the desire to "show how bad things really are" and that it is a complicated issue and that "it's very difficult to get into the intricacies of these things in this format." "It takes a lot more explanation than I can give you here today," he said. Earlier, during the commission's public comment forum, Gradia had suggested that the commissioners call in all the various players in the continually unfolding and multi-layered drama of the Public Safety Department—Nail, Edler, Weaver and others—and have definitive discussions with each about the varying issues. "Sit those folks down, and you'll have your answers," he had told them. Gradia hit this note again during the discussion regarding the EMS emails just dropped on the commission.

"This mess is going to keep up, and there's a lot of dirty laundry baskets that are going to make their way up here." Nick Gradia "This mess is going to keep up, and there's a lot of dirty laundry baskets that are going to make their way up here," Gradia said. By the end of the EMS discussion, May said he agreed with that sentiment. Before the decision to hold off on moving forward procuring EMS training, the chairman suggested that perhaps the commission should first dig into the issues regarding EMS instead of letting them leak slowly into public view during meetings and in the media. "Stop putting a Band-Aid on it," May said. "Let's just open up the wound, clean it out, and see where we go." {in} inweekly.net

ruling, and demolition happened before the society could act legally. The Hallmark school demolition had no legal challenges to its permit. The mayor's wife was a silent partner in the group that bought the site from the school district, but she was reportedly bought out when the News Journal investigated the connection. The "Seven to Save" list included: Pensacola USO Building, 25 S. Spring St. (built 1941); Pensacola Vocational Building, 215 W. Garden St. (1941); Washington Jr. Gymnasium, 806 W. DeSoto St. (1939); W.E. Plummer House, 215 N. Reus St. (1885); Old Mount Olive Baptist Church, 415 N. Alcaniz St. (1928); Hygeia Bottling Works, 1625 N. Palafox St. (1936); and Smith Bakery, 432 W.

GRAFFITI BRIDGE TOWN HALL Pensacola City Councilman Jared Moore is hosting a town hall to discuss the future of the 17th Avenue trestle, also known as the "Graffiti Bridge," 6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, at the Studer Community Institute, 220 W. Garden St. Anyone with an interest in the trestle is invited. A charrette-style Town Hall will detail available solutions and explore opportunities to tailor them to the distinctive site. "With the new Pensacola Bay Bridge landing to be finalized in the coming years, now is the time for our community to weigh in on ways to prevent continued safety and traffic issues," said Moore in a press release. Recent CivicCon speaker Peter Kageyama identified Graffiti Bridge as one of Pensacola's important landmarks that fosters a personal connection to this unique place. The meeting will conclude in time for those with tickets to the Art Garfunkel concert the same evening. Moore quipped, "Before you head over to hear Bridge Over Troubled Water, come out and voice your ideas for our troubled bridge."

'SEVEN TO SAVE' LIST Last week, the

historic preservation nonprofit The John Sunday Society released its 2019 "Seven to Save" list, highlighting seven at-risk local historic sites. "In recent years, Pensacola has lost irreplaceable buildings like the John Sunday House and the historic Hallmark School," said Teníadé Broughton, the society's president. "Unfortunately, there are still many important historic structures at risk unless the community takes steps to ensure their future." The John Sunday Society was formed in 2016 to save the 1901 residence of the African-American business leader and politician, John Sunday, that was located on the corner of Romana and Reus streets. Mayor Ashton Hayward backed the demolition and ordered the city attorney to not challenge a judge's ruling against an Architectural Review Board's decision that would have possibly saved the house. A permit was granted within hours of the

"We should do everything we can to protect and preserve these sites for future generations." Teníadé Broughton

"The challenges faced by communities across our region have become more numerous and complex," said Mount. "Regional councils must evolve to effectively partner with municipalities and counties to create innovative solutions to current and future problems. Our evolution is evident with our partners as we continue to build strong relationships and relevancy across the region." The mission of the Emerald Coast Regional Council is to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Northwest Florida by providing professional technical assistance, planning, coordinating and advisory services to local governments, state and federal agencies, and the public.

BEACH TROLLEY RETURNS The Santa

Rosa Island Authority (SRIA) will launch their free open-air trolley service along Pensacola Beach starting Friday, May 24, at 4 p.m. The 2019 Pensacola Beach Island Trolley will run daily from 4 p.m. to midnight through Labor Day on Sunday, Sept. 2. Three trolleys will operate concurrently. Each trolley makes 35 stops between Park West near the entrance gate to Gulf Islands National Seashore and the entrance to Portofino Island Resort near Park East. The energy-efficient open-air trolleys run on clean diesel fuel and are outfitted with a GPS device that electronically tracks its location, updating its position every 30 seconds.

Meanwhile, The Florida Trust for Historic Preservation last Thursday announced the 2019 Florida's 11 to Save, the most threatened historic properties in the state, at its Florida Preservation Conference in Pensacola. Being named to the list means the sites will be part of the Florida Trust's advocacy and education efforts and may pave the way for collaborative efforts to identify custom solutions for each property. None of the John Sunday Society's structures made the list. However, the Fidelis Community Center east of Jay in Santa Rosa County did. The center was built in 1925.

Visitors can access the real-time trolley schedule four ways: • Visit the "Trolley Tracker" at visitpensacolabeach.com/trolleytracker • Call 850-602-9384 and enter the trolley stop number • Text SRIA (space) and the trolley stop number to 41411 • Scan the QR code posted at each trolley stop with a smartphone

NEW NAME To better align and represent the true personality of the region and more closely identify with the Emerald Coast, the West Florida Regional Planning Council has changed its name to Emerald Coast Regional Council (ECRC). CEO Austin Mount said, "We have a rich history as WFRPC, but we have long surpassed the traditional roles of a regional planning council, and we want our brand to communicate that." The ECRC staffs Florida-Alabama, Okaloosa-Walton and Bay County Transportation Planning Organizations as well as the Bay, Gulf, Holmes and Washington Regional Transportation Partnership and the Northwest Florida Regional Transportation Planning Organization.

ECAT FREE SUMMER Escambia County Area Transit's Summer Wheels Youth Pass Program also will launch Memorial Day weekend and run through Labor Day weekend. The program will include free unlimited rides for Summer Wheels Pass holders, ages 18 and under. During last year's Summer Wheels Youth Pass Program, 739 individuals were issued passes, and 10,952 trips were taken. The free bus programs provide youth with the opportunity to explore Pensacola, travel to summer jobs, visit all county libraries and participate in summer camps. ECAT also offers free training for those who are new to the bus system to help read the Ride Guide, plan trips and review safety. In addition to the Summer Wheels

BLUE DUCKS MAY RETURN After a

brief appearance, then disappearance, Blue Duck Scooters may be coming back to town. At his May 13 weekly press conference, Mayor Grover Robinson said that the city was currently in discussions with the scooter companyâ€”which rents out scooters for short-term useâ€”about the particulars of any agreement that would allow them to operate in Pensacola. The mayor said that tentatively, the scooters will be available in areas of town with lower-speed roadways, such as downtown. Riders will not have to have a license but will need to be at least 16 years old. The use of helmets has not been discussed. City discussions with Blue Duck Scooters have centered on licensing fees and insurance (the company will carry the insurance and indemnify the city), as well as hours of operation. Robinson said that Blue Duck would be shutting down operation by 10 p.m., in part because the company didn't want people riding the scooters drunk.

"They felt like people may ride them to bars, but they didn't necessarily want them riding afterwards." Grover Robinson "They felt like people may ride them to bars, but they didn't necessarily want them riding afterwards," he said. "We felt like that was a good idea." Because Blue Duck intends to make the scooters available at Pensacola State

May 23, 2019

College, Robinson said he was concerned about the surrounding higher-speed roads, such as Ninth and 12th avenues, as well as Tippin Avenue. "I think there's some geo-fencing that they can do with that," he noted, suggesting the company could technologically and geographically restrict use of the scooters. The mayor said that the details of any arrangement with Blue Duck are still being finalized and that he hopes to be able to have a potential ordinance allowing for the use of the scooters in the city before city council's next meeting so that it can be approved by mid-June. He conceded that such a timeline is "ambitious."

PEACE TALKS Pensacola officials met with their counterparts in Gulf Breeze earlier this month. Mayor Robinson said discussions centered on a variety of topics, including environmental initiatives involving Pensacola Bay and the challenges of operating municipal golf courses. The two municipalities also met to discuss the potential for working together, along with Gulf Power, in an effort to run power lines underground. "Gulf Breeze would like to do more undergrounding in their urban area; we would like to do more downtown," he said. Also on the table was a discussion about Gulf Breeze's success in attracting tech start-ups and Pensacola's desire to do the same. "We did talk about that, in hopes of growing that," the mayor said. But, in addition to any specific thing, the meeting between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze was meant to go some distance toward healing old wounds and establishing common ground where the entities can work together. "Overall, I think it was just trying to build a better relationship," Robinson said. "Let's face it, Gulf Breeze and the city of Pensacola really did not talk for a few years. There were some ugly issues with natural gas and a variety of other things that happened there, and from our standpoint, we

wanted to just keep continuing to figure out ways we could work together."

Santa Rosa County students who are interested in cross-cultural communication are invited to apply to a fully-funded U.S. Department of State virtual exchange. The Experiment Digital is a great opportunity for students to get to learn about people in Algeria, Iraq and Yemen and requires only three to four hours a week between June 24-Aug. 18. Because the exchange takes place virtually, students participate from wherever they have a computer. When students are done, they will officially become U.S. Department of State International Exchange Alumni, a boon for their resumes and college applications. Current high school students and students who are graduating from high school this year are eligible. This is a free program, and there is no application fee. The application and more information are at experiment.org/digital.

2019 Summer Movie Preview By Daniel Barnes

The summer movie season is traditionally a time for blockbuster fluff. However, with a bevy of superhero movies ("Shazam!" and "Avengers: Endgame"), sequels ("John Wick: Chapter 3") and feature-length brand marketing campaigns ("Aladdin" and "Pokémon Detective Pikachu") hitting theaters in the last couple months, you have to wonder whether there are any brain cells left for the 2019 summer movie slate to kill. Luckily, a surprising number of auteur-driven wide releases and intriguing independent films fill out this season's schedule. Film critic Daniel Barnes pored over this year's release schedule and found 10 films to look forward to over the summer. GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS (MAY 31) I did not like the 2014 "Godzilla," but with heavy-handed director Gareth Edwards ("Rogue One: A Star Wars Story") gone, the possibility of fun exists again. This time around, the giant lizard battles old-school nemeses Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah for the fate of the world. Considering that "Godzilla vs. Kong" already has a March 2020 release date, the outcome of the battle seems obvious, but you never know. THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO (JUNE 7) This indie drama from rookie director Joe May 23, 2019

Talbot received rave reviews earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. Of course, you should always take Sundance raves with a pillar of salt, but the trailer indicates a thoughtful and heartfelt film about a young black man (Jimmie Falls) trying to find a home in a city that priced him out. THE DEAD DON'T DIE (JUNE 14) Leave it to Jim Jarmusch to assemble an allstar cast for a low-budget zombie movie. This horror comedy pits small-town oddballs versus the walking dead, and it features Tilda Swinton (the star of Jarmusch's 2014 vampire movie "Only Lovers Left Alive"), Chloë Sevigny, Adam Driver, Bill Murray, Steve Buscemi, Tom Waits, Selena Gomez, Danny Glover, RZA and Iggy Pop, among others. ANNA (JUNE 21) "La Femme Nikita" and "The Fifth Element" director Luc Besson continues his obsession with willowy, ass-kicking women in this spy thriller. In "Anna," 5'10 ½" Russian supermodel Sasha Luss plays the titular asskicker, a government assassin posing as a tall Russian supermodel. It sounds a lot like the unmemorable Jennifer Lawrence vehicle "Red Sparrow," but I trust Besson's knack for making brainless movies full of big ideas. TOY STORY 4 (JUNE 21) This film seems sure to test my remaining

faith in Pixar as anything more than a content spigot for Disney theme parks. The first three "Toy Story" films form a collective miracle, but Disney is determined to tempt fate. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen return as Woody and Buzz, still counseling neurotic misfit toys. Meanwhile, new characters get voiced by Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reeves and Timothy Dalton. MIDSOMMAR (JULY 3) Hot on the heels of last year's "Hereditary," writer-director Ari Aster delivers another creepy movie about a creepy family doing creepy stuff. Florence Pugh stars as a young woman who joins her boyfriend on a creepy vacation to a creepy Swedish village with a creepy set of summer traditions. The enigmatic trailer is light on details, but it's safe to say that we're not talking about sun tea and Slip 'N Slide here. THE LION KING (JULY 19) Given the abysmal track record for live-action adaptations of Disney animated classics, even I find this pick slightly appalling. On the bright side, director Jon Favreau made 2016's "The Jungle Book," the only one of these live-action cartoons that worked. He also assembled an outstanding voice cast, even getting James Earl Jones to reprise his role as Mufasa. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (JULY 26) After "Inglourious Basterds," "Django Un-

chained" and "The Hateful Eight," writerdirector Quentin Tarantino makes his fourth straight period film, this time offering his unique take on New Hollywood circa 1969. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as fictional actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as his body double, but the story touches on the real-life Manson murders, with Margot Robbie portraying Sharon Tate. FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW (AUG. 2) Punctuation fans, please take heed—this "Furious"-adjacent film could be the first in cinema history with two ampersands and a colon in the title. Franchise supporting players Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) take center stage, teaming up to battle a genetically enhanced superhuman (Idris Elba, typecast). WHERE'D YOU GO, BERNADETTE (AUG. 16) Cate Blanchett plays Bernadette Fox, a seemingly contented Seattle woman who unexpectedly disappears one day, leaving a trail of clues for her husband and daughter to follow. It feels like a lighthearted "Gone Girl," not exactly a perfect fit for director Richard Linklater. Still, with the likes of Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers relegated to Netflix, I'll take my director-driven cinema wherever I can get it. {in} 13

A Philosophical Playlist

Surrounder / Photo by Travis Cummings Surrounder is on the hunt for a good genre. So far, the Pensacola trio doesn't balk at punk opera—a two-word descriptor a few have latched onto after hearing them perform. Much of the operatic sound can be attributed to Carrie Rogers, who doesn't rush to call herself the lead singer until Ty Cummings, baritone guitar and second vocalist, confirms she is. "The music goes back and forth," Rogers said. "I definitely have some classical stuff in my background, not so much of an operatic voice happening, but I keep some classical or theatrical devices in terms of the melody. Sometimes I try to sing quiet and melodic pretty stuff." "Then we also do some yelling," Cummings said. "I do some weird screams." It's the "punk-y kind of screaming," Rogers clarified. The punk influence in the band dates back to their teenage years. "We're all children of the DIY Pensacola punk scene from all the way back to when I was 13 or 14. I can remember going to Sluggo's and watching bands play live and going to house shows," Rogers said. "The live show was always the pinnacle of local music. It was great to get a band's record. I was always stoked to get a hard copy of something I could listen to later, but it was always to remember what the show felt like." The three band members approached their latest EP, "Impossible Exchange," with the same mentality. The six-song EP, which was released earlier this month, was made to capture the spirit of their live performances. The members put a lot thought into songwriting, too. No song was complete without a principle of philosophy … or three. The EP's title is a phrase borrowed from French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. "He uses it to describe how since the May 23, 2019

world and society doesn't have a double, that its reality and truth can't be verified," Cummings said. "We use that phrase as one of the lyrics in the fifth song about death as well. The album art is the outline of a worker against a building, so it hints at the exchange that happens between workers and money or workers and production and how maybe that's not a true or just exchange." "We write songs, for the most part, about trying to be human in a world where economic and cultural forces are taking our own lives away from ourselves," Cummings continued. Each song unfolds another layer of the band's self-proscribed philosophical nerd-dom. "When we write the songs, we'll often spend a lot of time, maybe even an entire night, before we even get a solid line down just discussing the particular aspect," Rogers said. "That might start very broad. It usually starts with some political, philosophical or big human theme of living, and then we'll refine that and try to make it precise in a way that doesn't negate the metaphor." The first song on the EP, "(Adorno Song)," alludes to a German writer who writes much about the culture industry in modern times, Cummings said. "The song is about growing up and realizing that a lot of your own characteristics weren't necessarily given to you from your family or your community but given to you by commercials you were inundated with, advertisements, archetypes in movies," Cummings said. "As we get older, that becomes more and more clear like, 'Oh, man, a lot of these aspects of my personality—even my dreams and ideals—how I relate to other people,' comes not really from other human beings, but movies that have millions of dollars in-

vested into making them exciting and dramatic. It's about moving beyond that." Despite being the most lyrically sparse songs, "Winter Years," features an equally deep observation. The lyrics are based on a 1990s quote from an Italian psychoanalyst. "The quote was talking about how in the '60s and '70s, there were all these different really intense and big social movements going on all over the world, and then in the '80s and '90s, it stopped," Cummings said. "The song goes from that into our individual lives as being passive individuals that are surrounded by technology that's updating itself. We don't even really have to intervene. We're becoming techno zombies so that nothing ever really seems to happen." "Things are happening but not in a sense that makes you feel like you're a part of history," Rogers added. The final song on the EP is also drummer Eric Moeller's favorite to perform. "It is the most theatrical for me—especially on drums," Moeller said. "At the end of it, there's this big build-up. It gets super noisy." The music's melodramatic nature is the band's signature. "The thing we go for and the uniqueness people tend to see in our music is there's a narrative quality to the music, a lot of rises and falls, a lot of different parts that don't necessarily repeat," Cummings said. "We're definitely rock but we're alternative rock—not the kind you'd hear on the radio." {in}

Slam Send-Off

Asia Samson is one of the movers and shakers in Pensacola's eclectic and diverse poetry scene. Having lived in Pensacola since 2012, Samson is a constant presence at several venues and a promoter of the slam poetry scene. Also a national sensation, Samson continues to share the spotlight with locals. His latest venture into the national spotlight is the upcoming Southern Fried Poetry Festival, held in Fayetteville, N.C., and bringing a team of local and regional poets with him. The poets will be the first Pensacola group to compete at the event in over a decade. Prior to the festival and their local send-off show, we caught up with Samson to talk poetry in general and learn about the team heading to North Carolina.

tion. Southern Fried Poetry is pretty big. For those who aren't familiar, what is it and why is this significant? SAMSON: The Southern Fried Poetry Festival is a regional competition where poets from all over the South come and compete with their poems. This has been going on since the '90s, and it's important because it keeps the vibrant culture of spoken word alive. And I love this culture. Sadly, Pensacola has not sent a team since 2005 as there has not been any pre-qualifying slams here. When I moved to Pensacola in 2012, I wanted to make it a goal for this city to bring back the poetry slam culture and start sending a team again. The community has been so supportive in helping make that happen.

INWEEKLY: How long have you considered yourself a poet? SAMSON: If I really had to say, I would say second grade. I was about 7 years old, and I remember writing a poem for this girl because I thought she was pretty. At the time, that was the only gift I had that I knew I could use to get someone's attention. Also, I was heavily into reading Shel Silverstein books and that's when I was exposed to poetry. But as far as actually writing and performing poetry, since 2002. In 2006, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After beating it, I decided to quit my job and pursue poetry full time, and I've been touring colleges professionally since.

INWEEKLY: Tell me a little about the people from Pensacola that are a part of the team. SAMSON: There are five people on every slam team. For our team (Burn Beautiful) there's myself, Tessica Williams (from Mobile), and Kataalyst Alcindor (from New Orleans). From this city, we have Keegan Anderson and Jamal Steele. All four of them came and competed at our qualifying slam we held at Live! Juice Bar. They're all amazing poets. Tessica and Kataalyst are slam champions while Keegan and Jamal will be experiencing Southern Fried for the first time.

INWEEKLY: That's certainly a life-altering moment. Was there a certain moment, certain person or certain poem that drew you to poetry? SAMSON: I don't really think there was a certain moment or person or poem. Looking back, I feel like it has just always been a part of me—being a writer. I've always had a voice and thoughts inside that I needed to let out, and I would express those thoughts with writing, whether it's a poem or a short story. INWEEKLY: Tell me about the competi-

" I think I'm in love with the art form more than any one particular poet." Asia Samson INWEEKLY: I know a lot of them, especially Jamal. In fact, I did an interview with him about a year ago. This sounds like a great team. Now, besides the people you're bringing to Southern Fried, who are some your personal favorite poets? SAMSON: I have too many poets to name, to be honest. I think I'm in love with the art

form more than any one particular poet. I just love how so many of these guys can write and articulate their own version of truth and can convey emotions into words that always leaves me so in awe. INWEEKLY: There's a lot of misconceptions in the art worlds about what a slam poet is and what slam poetry is. Now's your chance to clarify. What is the greatest misconception people have about slam poetry? SAMSON: For years, people see a "representation" of slam poetry as this coffee house, finger-snapping environment where poets get up and speak in a certain rhythm that is boring to watch. This couldn't be further from the truth. When I host Word Live! (at Live! Juice Bar every fourth Thursday of the month), there is a vibrant energy in that room where people are laughing and cheering and hearing these poets weave words that hit you in the gut. It's an amazing thing to spectate. If you haven't had a chance to check it out, you should. We always say, "Everybody loves spoken word poetry. They just don't know it yet."

INWEEKLY: I like that. I say that about poetry in general all the time. You just have to find the right ones. Sometimes you're lucky and you find the right poet at the right time but usually have to try it a few times. This sounds like a great opportunity for those unfamiliar. Now, back to writing. For you, what are the things that make you want to write? For those who haven't heard your words, what do you usually write about? SAMSON: Someone once gave me a compliment that I've "mastered conveying the essence of human emotion." I feel like that would be a good description without sounding too egotistical. I just know that I've experienced a lot of joys and pains in my life, and I'm blessed that I have the gift of telling those stories in a way where many of us can relate. So to answer the question, I write about what I can excavate from my own life. I believe everyone

has a story—the challenge is finding it, but you can find it if you just look hard enough. INWEEKLY: I know this is one of those standard interview questions, so forgive a little cheese, but Asia, what inspires you? SAMSON: Goodness inspires me. I think when people are at their kindest, at their most empathetic, at their most generous … I get inspired. It reminds me we can really make life a wonderful experience if we just start listening and trying to understand one another. INWEEKLY: Nice. Now, let's turn to the other side. What do you hate? SAMSON: I hate apathy. I hate the thought that one person thinks they're more superior than another. I hate the unwillingness to understand. I hate ignorance and close-mindedness. I hate that there's too many voices talking and not enough ears listening. INWEEKLY: I hear ya. Literally, but figuratively too. Last question for you, at least for now. What is the one question about your poetry that you wish someone would ask but they never do? SAMSON: Surprisingly, just when I think someone will never ask me something in particular, eventually, someone does. In fact, sometimes people ask me things I never even thought one would ask. But I like that. It's a testament that I'm willing to be transparent and open to questions. I think to be a successful writer and poet, one must be willing to be transparent and open to questions. Because in that, there is discovery. {in}

DIFFERENCE MAKERS DIXON IS ON THE MOVE

The Dixon School of Arts and Sciences is moving to a new location for the 2019-20 school year, 1201 North H Street, the former home of the A. A. Dixon Elementary School that closed in 2002. The school building is leased from the First West Florida Baptist District Association, which originally gave the land to the Escambia County School District in the early 50's for the construction of the proposed Morris Court "Negro" Elementary School. The project was later named the A. A. Dixon School in honor of Albert Augusta Dixon, a well-known African American physician who died at the age of 55 in 1937 after serving the Pensacola community for more than 23 years. Dixon's legacy is preserved in local newspaper clippings and other sources, which describe him as a true advocate for young people, dispensing abundant encouragement to ensure they attended school and became better-prepared for life. The Dixon School of Arts and Sciences was reorganized in 2018, honoring the legacy of hardworking students, teachers, administrators and volunteers of former evolutions of the Dixon School which included A. A. Dixon Elementary School, the A. A. Dixon Charter School of Excellence and the Dixon School of the Arts. Renovation of the school building was made possible by a $1.25 million donation from Kim and Julian MacQueen, who were honored May 17 during a check presentation ceremony at the new school. Kim and Julian, founders of Innisfree Hotels, have supported the Dixon School through its various evolutions: Innisfree Hotels initially adopted the charter school in 2011 to provide tutoring, facilities support, accounting, marketing and funding. The Hilton Pensacola Beach, an Innisfree Hotel, hosts an annual Christmas party for the children, while the Holiday Inn Resort sponsors a pool party for the children. Innisfree Hotels' corporate social responsibility program, the Hive, will continue to support the school. In order for construction to begin immediately, Centennial Bank provided a $1.0 million renovation loan to the school. Innisfree Hotels founder Julian MacQueen said, "Innisfree Hotels is a triple bottom line companyâ€”we focus on people, the planet and profit. Kim and I support Dixon School of Arts and Sciences because we believe a neighborhood school that inspires children through arts and sciences can make a true difference in their lives. We've been impressed with the school's transformation over the years and its current focus on Trauma Informed Care. A number of our hotel's staff have chosen to send their kids to Dixon!" The MacQueen's $1.25 million donation will be used for essential renovations for the former Dixon Elementary School building, including paint, flooring, classroom lighting, a complete sprinkler system, needed HVAC systems, kitchen equipment, furniture, landscaping and security systems. Dr. Donna Curry, the school's Executive Director, hopes that other organizations will fund special projects such as the school's performing arts stage, an innovation center, a garden, a clinic and classroom technology. Managed by Innisfree Hotels' project managers, renovations are well underway, with HVAC and sprinkler systems starting soon. The school will be ready for the new school year in August. Dixon School of Arts and Sciences aims to succeed as a neighborhood school for grades K-8, through community support, parental involvement and a values-based education. The school will use various performing and visual arts programs to help children unlock their potential, gain confidence and stay excited about attending school. Dixon is also focused on providing trauma informed teaching in a safe environment, where the traditional classroom paradigm is flipped: loving relationships have to come before academic content. In April the Dixon School partnered with Achieve Escambia to present "Books, Balls, and Blocks"â€”a free family event for children ages birth to 5 years old with dozens of local resources on hand for parents who needed help identifying the developmental strengths and needs of their children. The Dixon School hosted an open house during the event to give a preview of the planned renovations and offer an understanding of the various art and science programs available at the school. Dixon School for Arts and Sciences is currently enrolling children for the upcoming school year, and staff is readily available to help parents apply for the Step Up Scholarship that is available through the income-based Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program. For more information contact the Executive Director, Dr. Donna Curry, at 330-606-1337 or dcurry@dixonschoolota.org.

free will astrology WEEK OF MAY 23 ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19): In the coming weeks, I suspect you will have the wisdom to criticize yourself in constructive ways that will at least partially solve a long-standing problem. Hallelujah! I bet you will also understand what to do to eliminate a bad habit by installing a good new habit. Please capitalize on that special knowledge! There's one further capacity I suspect you'll have—the saucy ingenuity necessary to alleviate a festering fear. Be audacious! TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20): What stan-

dards might we use in evaluating levels of sexual satisfaction? One crucial measure is the tenderness and respect that partners have for each other. Others include the ability to play and have fun, the freedom to express oneself uninhibitedly, the creative attention devoted to unpredictable foreplay and the ability to experience fulfilling orgasms. How do you rate your own levels, Taurus? Wherever you may currently fall on the scale, the coming months will be a time when you can accomplish an upgrade. How? Read authors who specialize in the erotic arts. Talk to your partners with increased boldness and clarity. While meditating, search for clues in the depths.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20): If there were

a Hall of Fame for writers, Shakespeare might have been voted in first. His work is regarded as a pinnacle of intellectual brilliance. And yet here's a fun fact—The Bard quoted well over 1,000 passages from the Bible. Can you imagine a modern author being taken seriously by the literati if he or she frequently invoked such a fundamental religious text? I bring this to your attention so as to encourage you to be Shakespeare-like in the coming weeks. That is, be willing to draw equally from both intellectual and spiritual sources; be a deep thinker who communes with sacred truths; synergize the functions of your discerning mind and your devotional heart.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22): "People will choose unhappiness over uncertainty," writes Cancerian author and entrepreneur Timothy Ferriss. He doesn't do that himself but rather is quite eager to harvest the perks of dwelling in uncertainty. I presume this aptitude has played a role in his huge success; his books have appeared on bestseller lists and his podcasts have been downloaded more than 300 million times. In telling you this, I'm not encouraging you to embrace the fertile power of uncertainty 24 hours a day and 365 days of every year. But I am urging you to do just that for the next three weeks. There'll be big payoffs if you do, including rich teachings on the art of happiness. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22): Many 18th-

century pirates were committed to democracy and equality among their ranks. The camaraderie and fairness and mutual respect that prevailed on pirate ships were markedly different from the oppressive conditions 222 2

By Rob Brezsny

faced by sailors who worked for the navies of sovereign nations. The latter were often pressed into service against their will and had to struggle to collect meager salaries. Tyrannical captains controlled all phases of their lives. I bring this to your attention, Leo, with the hope that it will inspire you to seek out alternative approaches to rigid and hierarchical systems. Gravitate toward generous organizations that offer you ample freedom and rich alliances. The time is right to ally yourself with emancipatory influences.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22): Don't wait

around for fate to decide which decisions you should make and what directions you should go. Formulate those decisions yourself, with your willpower fully engaged. Never say, "If it's meant to be, it will happen." Rather, resolve to create the outcomes you strongly desire to happen. Do you understand how important this is? You shouldn't allow anyone else to frame your important questions and define the nature of your problems; you've got to do the framing and defining yourself. One more thing—don't fantasize about the arrival of the "perfect moment." The perfect moment is whenever you decree it is.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22): In the coming weeks, I hope you'll regularly give yourself to generous, expansive experiences. I hope you'll think big, funny thoughts and feel spacious, experimental emotions. I hope you'll get luxurious glimpses of the promise your future holds, and I hope you'll visualize yourself embarking on adventures and projects you've been too timid or worried to consider before now. For best results, be eager to utter the word "MORE!" as you meditate on the French phrase "joie de vivre" and the English phrase "a delight in being alive." SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21): Accord-

ing to Popular Mechanics magazine, over three million sunken ships are lying on the bottoms of the world's oceans. Some of them contain billions of dollars' worth of precious metals and jewels. Others are crammed with artifacts that would be of great value to historians and archaeologists. And here's a crazy fact: fewer than one percent of all those potential treasures have been investigated by divers. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I hope it might inspire you to explore your inner world's equivalent of lost or unknown riches. The astrological omens suggest that the coming weeks will be an excellent time to go searching for them.

flashy phenomena would not motivate you to take the corrective and adaptive measures you actually need. The grace of god—or whatever passes for the grace of god in your world—is the influence that will best help you accomplish what's necessary. Fortunately, I suspect you know how to call on and make full use of that grace.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19):

Capricorn poet William Stafford articulated some advice that I think you need to hear right now. Please hold it close to your awareness for the next 21 days. "Saying things you do not have to say weakens your talk," he wrote. "Hearing things you do not need to hear dulls your hearing." By practicing those protective measures, Capricorn, you will foster and safeguard your mental health. Now here's another gift from Stafford, "Things you know before you hear them—those are you, those are why you are in the world."

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18): "Love

is an immoderate thing / And can never be content," declared poet W. B. Yeats. To provide you with an accurate horoscope, I'll have to argue with that idea a bit. From what I can determine, love will indeed be immoderate in your vicinity during the coming weeks. On the other hand, it's likely to bring you a high degree of contentment—as long as you're willing to play along with its immoderateness. Here's another fun prediction—I suspect that love's immoderateness, even as it brings you satisfaction, will also inspire you to ask for more from love and expand your capacity for love. And that could lead to even further immoderate and interesting experiments.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20): You will know you are in sweet alignment with cosmic forces if you have an impulse to try a rash adventure but decide instead to work on fixing a misunderstanding with an ally. You can be sure you're acting in accordance with your true intuition if you feel an itch to break stuff, but instead channel your fierce energy into improving conditions at your job. You will be in tune with your soul's code if you start fantasizing about quitting what you've been working on so hard, but instead sit down and give yourself a pep talk to reinvigorate your devotion and commitment. THIS WEEK'S HOMEWORK: Make up a secret identity for yourself. What is it? How do you use it?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21):

"Some days you need god's grace," writes poet Scherezade Siobhan. "On other days, the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire." I'm guessing, Sagittarius, that these days, you might be inclined to prefer the feral tongue of vintage whiskey and a mouth kissed by fire. But according to my astrological analysis, those

news of the weird

CHUTZPAH! Ricci Barnett, 41, refused to stop when a police officer tried to pull her over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on April 21. The Associated Press reported that when she paused at a red light, the officer showed her his badge, to which she replied, "I don't think so" and drove away. Barnett was eventually apprehended and charged with aggravated fleeing from a law enforcement officer and reckless driving. CRIME REPORT A 25-year-old man from Kapaa, Hawaii, will likely spend seven years in prison after going on a drug-fueled rampage in his former boss's home in December. Forrest Broyles pleaded no contest on May 7 to charges that he broke into the home to claim his fair share of fish the two men had caught together. Broyles told Kauai police he was using the hallucinogenic concoction ayahuasca when he used a machete to break the glass front door of the home, reported The Garden Island. He threatened the boss and his wife, saying he "was going to kill him and chop him up," then attacked the house instead, hitting a television, breaking windows, a sliding glass door, kitchen cabinets, the stove and microwave and a canoe paddle, among other items, amounting to about $3,000 in damages. "That is what the whole incident was about," Broyles told a detective at the scene. "He owes me choke ahi." Broyles was on probation at the time (for allegedly threatening two people with scissors); he is scheduled for sentencing in August. •The Sioux Falls (South Dakota) Argus Leader reported that Brody Fuchs, 25, of Tyndall was arrested on April 23 and charged with second-degree burglary after a local man contacted police about items disappearing from his home over the course of a couple of years—about $500 worth of sex toys. The man had installed security cameras in the house, which caught Fuchs entering the home, staying for about 40 seconds, then leaving, according to the affidavit. Bon Homme County Sheriff's officers searched Fuchs' residence and found a number of toys the victim said belonged to him. It was unclear whether the homeowner and Fuchs were acquainted.

RULES ARE RULES Keith Cutler, senior circuit judge of Winchester and Salisbury in England, had what would seem to be an airtight reason for avoiding jury duty in April: He was scheduled to be the presiding judge for the case. Even so, when Cutler contacted the jury summoning bureau to say, "I would be inappropriate, seeing I happened to be the judge and knew all the papers," the bureau refused to excuse him, suggesting he could "apply to the resident judge." Cutler eventually had to call to explain that he is the resident judge, reported The Guardian. He noted that he would have been happy to serve under other circumstances: "I would have liked to have done the jury service to see what it was like and whether I would have liked the judge," he said. GOVERNMENT IN ACTION New Zealand's House Speaker, Trevor Mallard, ejected National Leader Simon Bridges from the chamber on May 7, claiming that Bridges' conduct was inappropriate during Question Time. "The member earlier made a barnyard noise of the sort that would not be accepted in a junior classroom," Mallard said. But Bridges objected, saying, "I made no such noise and it is entirely unfair for you as a speaker to say that sort of unprofessional comment." The New Zealand Herald reported that Bridges later said Mallard's comments made him feel like a "naughty boy"; later inspection of video from the session revealed that Bridges had made a loud sound of disapproval after an answer given by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. FLORIDA A police officer in Haines City, Florida, was inside a local business on May 4 when he heard "a loud noise" outside. In the parking lot, he found Gary Wayne Anderson, 68, had just crashed his riding lawnmower (with trailer carrying a red cooler) into the officer's cruiser, reported the Miami Herald. "F—- it, I'm drunk," Anderson told officers, according to an arrest affidavit. "Take me to jail." He was so intoxicated, police said, that he failed a field sobriety test and "almost fell to the ground multiple times." At the police station, Anderson accused police of poisoning him and requested that he be taken to a hospital, where test results found his blood-alcohol content to be three times Florida's legal limit. Anderson has two prior DUI convictions and has not had a valid driver's license since 1978. "It's never a good idea to get behind the wheel drunk," noted police Chief Jim Elensky, "even if that wheel is to a Craftsman, Massey Ferguson or John Deere." {in}

WILD PONIES

RECURRING THEME In April, News of the Weird reported that sweat bees were found to be living in the eye of a woman in Taiwan. Now, United Press International reports doctors at a hospital in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, China, found a small spider building a nest inside a man's ear. The man, identified only as Li, arrived at the hospital complaining of discomfort in his ear. Doctors said the spider was too small and fast to be caught with tools, but they were able to flush it out using water.
