GEORGE TOUART The interim county administrator knows Escambia County politics.

To win control of the Escambia County Jail, Touart had only to promise no tax increase and offer no specifics. Sheriff David Morgan made the “mistake” of presenting facts on how to handle the Department of Justice report. Imagine a county jail where Touart gets to decide who stays and who gets released.

It’s coming.

GREATER PENSACOLA CHAMBER

Marines are sponsoring the speaker series, “Heroes Among Us,” to raise funds for the Marine in Distress Fund, which is used to assist veterans that have had a life-changing event that’s beyond their control. The fund was initially set up to help Walter Mendez, a local Marine Corps veteran who was badly injured in a car accident in November 2012.

Mendez broke 32 bones in the wreck and spent two weeks in and out of a coma at Sacred Heart Hospital.

OUR NEIGHBORS When Westboro Baptist Church, a Kansas congregation known for protesting funerals of soldiers killed in Afghanistan, sent out a news release announcing it would picket the funeral of Army Staff Sgt. Jesse Thomas Jr., hundreds of Escambia and Santa Rosa County residents filled church parking lots and lined busy city streets to honor the fallen Pensacola native.

of Pensacola department not only failed to meet its revenue projections on several line-items in the budget it presented the Community Maritime Park Associates board when it took over the operations of the maritime park last spring, but it also held so few events at the park that CMPA and city almost got hit with a half million dollar property tax bill. Ouch!

The chamber continues to get entangled in Florida’s Sunshine Law. This time its executive committee closed its meeting to the press while the leaders discussed the employment of CEO Jim Hizer. The problem is: Hizer also heads Vision 2015, the economic development entity that accepts funds from Escambia County and the city of Pensacola.

Any group discussion of Hizer’s employment needed to be done in the open.

GORDON PIKE The director of Escam-

bia County’s Corrections Department has been named the point man for the county jail by the interim administrator and County Commission Chairman Gene Valentino. We predict that he will either be replaced or only a figurehead while George Touart brings in somebody else to run the jail. Pike has less than two years before he makes retirement.

The odds aren’t good that he will make it.

After the Escambia County Commissioners voted 4-1 to transfer the Escambia County Jail to their control, Interim Escambia County Administrator George Touart seemed stunned that Commissioner Lumon May, the sole AfricanAmerican on the board, voted against Touart taking over the facility that is facing a possible lawsuit should the commission fail to correct the safety and constitutional rights violations discovered by the U.S. Department of Justice.

After all, Touart promised the commissioners that he could avoid any increase in taxes and that he could run the jail better than Sheriff David Morgan.

He had met with his pal former Sheriff Ron McNesby and his jail director Dennis Williams, and they told him he could do it.

It didn’t matter that it was McNesby and Williams’ operation of the jail that led to the DOJ investigation. It didn’t matter that three men died in the jail when it was under their control. It didn’t matter that Touart could give the commissioners no specifics on how he could run the jail cheaper than Morgan and still satisfy DOJ. No, the interim county administrator said the magic words, “No tax increase.”

So after the June 20 county commission meeting, Touart couldn’t believe that Commissioner May was upset. He told May that he should be happy because "I'm

was placing one of your people" in charge of the jail. Touart was referring to Gordon Pike, the African-American in charge of the county’s Corrections Department.

“Your people.”

Stop and pause and reread those two words before you continue with this column. Let the full implication sink in.

George Touart runs Escambia County government, and he has just assumed control of its jail. This is truly Touart’s mindset.

Lumon May’s district is the most diverse in the county—black, white, young, old. Though African-American, he represents his entire district. Yes, he is a proud family man, who grew up in Pensacola— just as Touart has.

And yes, he is black.

George Touart’s people aren’t just the white citizens. He represents the AfricanAmericans too—at least in theory. But we know that he doesn’t. Touart is from a monochrome world that sees everything in only two colors, white and black. White people, and commissioners, he takes care of. Black people, and one commissioner, he appeases.

I’m proud to consider myself one of Lumon May’s people, as are thousands of others working and living in Escambia County, which, I guess, means I’m not one of George Touart’s people.

Thank God. {in} rick@inweekly.net

Escambia County to Assume Jail Operations

by Jeremy Morrison Keys to the Escambia County Jail look to be changing hands. County officials are preparing to inherit operations of the facility from Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan

by October.

The county commission made the decision to assume jail operations after weeks of fruitless negotiations with the sheriff, and in the face of a federal mandate to address concerns detailed in a recently completed U.S. Department of Justice investigation.

The decision came down to dollars—the commission is betting county staff can satisfy DOJ for a few million less than the sheriff is willing to try.

Regardless of who operates the jail, or how much money it takes, something has to be done quickly. The feds are waiting.

As county staff got the green light to begin scrambling together the transition, Escambia County Commission Chairman Gene Valentino offered up a pep talk.

66

The county jail has problems. That’s not antidotal, that’s official. The issues have been detailed in multiple studies commissioned by the county and, more importantly, the DOJ investigation that wrapped up last month.

Investigators raised concerns about prisoner-on-prisoner violence and staffon-prisoner uses of force, the decades-long practice of segregating black prisoners into black-only housing units—this recently changed, and inadequate access to mental health services and medications. While the DOJ noted that Morgan had improved the facility since he came on the scene, the investigation also verified concerns about understaffing—the most costly of the issues surrounding the jail.

Morgan—who operates the jail on behalf of the county as per a 1994 agreement—had already raised the staffing issues, telling the county he needed a hundred additional correctional officers. He raised eyebrows and dropped jaws down at the county complex when he turned in a proposed budget that was $18 million higher than last year, in part, to fund the additional officers.

The county commission, along with Interim County Administrator George Touart, balked at the request. After the DOJ findings were released, Valentino joined the county’s negotiating team to continue trying to hammer out an agreement with Morgan to operate the jail.

Negotiations didn’t go well. And off the court, it was even worse. Valentino went to WEAR and said he had heard that jail employees were playing on their laptops on the job.

Morgan then threatened to open an investigation, which led to an awkward trip to the state attorney’s office for a sworn statement where the chairman said he had “misspoke.”

“We have sat and we have probably beat to death so many ideas it’s not funny,” Touart finally reported to the board.

In order to meet the sheriff ’s budgetary threshold—$5.2 million—the interim administrator contends the commission would need to raise taxes. With the exception of Commissioner Lumon May, there is no appetite for that.

Briefly, the option of privatizing the jail was considered. Valentino and Touart took some meetings. But that is apparently off the table now.

Touart has assured commissioners that he can bring the jail up to snuff by using $2.6 million previously budgeted for county employees’ cost-of-living increases. That’s the option the commission is going with.

“It seems to me, we don’t have much choice but to accept the jail and try to run it,” said Commissioner Wilson Robertson.

INTO THE MONEY PIT

There are certainly cold feet on the commission. Not everyone seemed sold that the county was making the right move. Commissioner May never did go along.

“I’m not convinced,” May told the other commissioners. “There’s a lot of uncertainty.”

Commissioner Steven Barry was also rather hesitant. He wanted more specifics on the math.

“I’m not at all comfortable leaving just a blank, take-care-of-it-Mr. Administrator,” Barry said.

Touart laid out a loose plan. He offered no firm numbers, but said he thought there would be enough money to address the staffing concerns at the jail and still give employees half of the proposed cost-of-living increases.

The plan entails jail operations being placed under the county’s corrections department, and slowly phasing in additional correctional officers. There are also plans to reduce the need for more jail staff by fully utilizing available beds at the county’s road prison facility, as well as coordinating with the judiciary to take more advantage of prevention programs and other front-end aspects of the justice system. Additionally, Touart said the county plans to cut expenses by contracting out jail medical services to local hospitals.

When commissioners pressed for assurances from county staff that the transition could be accomplished—and DOJ satisfied— for the price tag Touart was proposing, they were met with nervous optimism.

“My opinion is,” Budget Director Amy Lavoy explained to the commission, “regardless of who runs this jail, it is an absolute money pit.”

DOUBLE OR NOTHING?

Escambia County now strives to make the math work, and come up with a plan to present to DOJ. Tasks that Touart has a lot riding on.

“Basically puts your career on the line,” noted Commissioner Robertson. “Because you said, ‘I know I’m sticking my neck out, and I can make it work.’ Is that what you said this morning?”

“Commissioner, there’s no question that the auspice to get this done is on the administrator’s position,” Touart replied.

The interim administrator returned to his post last fall. He’s applied for the permanent position—a move that’s triggered considerable public outcry, due to ethical questions that surrounded Touart during his previous stint with the county.

On the night the commission decided to take on the jail, a citizen linked the decision to Touart.

“By not coming up with a plan, by not coming up with details, Mr. Touart has ensured his employment,” protested Jacqueline Rogers.

Commissioners assured her there was no connection.

“The two issues don’t have anything to do with each other. The county administrator search is moving forward,” said Barry. “So, I do take exception that one decision necessitates the other. I would certainly hope that we’re capable of making multiple decisions during this same time period.”

“Mr. Barry took some of the words right out of my mouth,” agreed Commissioner Robinson. “I think they’re two totally different issues.” {in}

CITY’S FINANCIAL CRISIS At

its June 20 agenda workshop, Escambia County Commissioner Steven Barry asked about how the city and county Mayor Ashton Hayward were going to handle a $1.4 million shortfall in the library system’s budget while rolling back the county’s millage rate to offset for the taxpayers the impact of the new library tax. His concern was that county might be subsidizing the City of Pensacola’s share of the deficit.

That discussion led to Interim County Administrator George Touart openly talking about the financial crisis of Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward that City Administrator Bill Reynolds shared with him during their discussions of the library.

“It has been well advertised through the city and through Mr. Reynold’s conver-

sations that he and I have had at our level,” Touart said. “The city is in a real financial situation this year. Even if they wanted to pay, they didn’t have the money to pay.”

Maybe Mayor Hayward will explain the “real financial situation” in his promised State of the City address—the date and time of which has yet to be set.

Meanwhile, Touart told the Escambia County Commission that if the $1.4 million isn’t handled by the city and the county he would be coming back to the board with recommendations to cut hours and staff, as Mayor Hayward did earlier this year when the library system was under his control.

FLINGING INSULTS Interim County Administrator George Touart made clear his disdain for Sheriff David Morgan when the sheriff addressed the Board of County Commissioners at its June 20 agenda workshop.

Several times he addressed the sheriff as “David,” ignoring his title. When Sheriff Morgan sat down, Touart threw out one last barb about the possibility of the sheriff appealing his budget to Governor Rick Scott.

“I think it’s really appalling that the governor is even mentioned,” said Touart.

“That’s the sheriff’s decision. If y’all want to go to Tallahassee, hit the interstate and take a right.”

RECORD SET The Independent News

has confirmed that Matt Schmidt is still the interim fire chief for the city of Pensacola. The city website doesn’t list him as interim in his profile, but the Mayor’s Press Secretary Derek Cosson confirmed that he has not been presented to the city council for confirmation.

Schmidt has held the interim role since 2010 when Russell Beaty resigned as fire chief to take a job working for the emergency management chief at the Walton County Sheriff 's Office.

Schmidt has been the interim fire chief for nearly three years—a record for the Hayward administration, maybe even the city.

ONE MORE TURNAROUND Escambia Superintendent of Schools Malcolm Thomas still is struggling with how to educate the minority students that comprise half of his district’s enrollment.

Last week Thomas announced a turnaround plan for Lincoln Park Elementary that entails transforming the school to a

pre-k-through-second-grade facility.

Thomas’ past turnaround efforts have failed horribly. In 2009, he fired the teachers and administration at Warrington Middle School and proclaimed the school would become the top middle school not only in Escambia County, but also in the state.

Millions of dollars later the school has fallen further behind. Only one of four of its eighth graders passed the 2013 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT ) reading test. Half of them only scored a one, the lowest score possible, on the mathematics portion of the FCAT. Only 28 percent passed the FCAT science test.

SEVENTH FLOOR GOES DARK AGAIN Last week Pensacola City Hall was without Mayor Ashton Hayward, City Administrator Bill Reynolds and Finance Director Richard Barker. Hayward was in New York, Reynolds in Orlando. Barker needed time off before he has to sell the mayor’s 2014 budget to the city council.

City Attorney Jim Messer was asked to hang around city hall, just in case something bad happened. Nothing did, and city staff celebrated the absences. {in}

Love it or hate it, summer is officially upon us. In addition to extra long, extra hot days, we can also look forward to the usual slew of pop culture distractions. Summer blockbusters, mega tours and page turners typically abound during the summer months and this season is no exception. From Jay-Z and his "Magna Carta Holy Grail" to Johnny Depp as Tonto to the end of "Dexter," this summer is stacked with "musts" to keep you occupied and hopefully able to block out the sweltering heat.

Make sure you tune in next week too, because we're putting together a handy weekend guide called "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" It will feature reasons to stay in town and reasons to hit the road between Independence Day and Labor Day. June 27, 2013

roll world at an early age. There are videos of him wailing with his uncle's legendary band at age 13.

It didn't take long to realize there was more to the guy, though. He eventually built his own unique sound that incorporated slide blues, soul, Indian, and African influences. The Tedeschi Trucks Band combines that guitar-slinging arsenal with the gut-wrenching soul and other-wordly voice of Susan Tedeschi. The husband and wife pair claims that when the two met in 2007, it was instant chemistry, and you can hear it all over the band's 2011 Grammy-winning debut record, “Revolver.” It's safe to expect more of the same from their August release, “Made Up Mind.” With a full horn section, keys, and dual drummers, this band has power.

I've watched their music bring grown men to tears in the middle of the day. It's happened to me. It could happen to you.

On The Road Again

by Joani Delezen

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE & JAY-Z—LEGENDS OF THE SUMMER TOUR July 17—Aug. 16 A stadium tour if ever there was one—if you want to see a date on this tour you're going to have to trek to an iconic spot like Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park.

Sun Life Stadium in Miami is the only Florida date.

THE MRS. CARTER SHOW WORLD TOUR

For many, myself included, nothing says "summer" like going to a concert. And by "concert" I mean a big, flashy, arena show with all the bells and whistles and crazy lights that come with that kind of thing. You know, the kind of outings where you have to buy tickets months in advance, plan a road trip to Atlanta or some random city in South Florida, pay $10 for a beer and triple that for a T-shirt you'll probably only wear a few times.

I know rockstars tour all the time, but something about summer tours just feels bigger, better and more like an event. Here's a round up of some the best tours on the road this summer.

In March, British electronic icons, Depeche Mode, released their 13th studio album, “Delta Machine,” and now they are touring the world in support of it. This tour is quite the extensive and seemingly taxing undertaking. The first date was May 4 in France, and the last will be February 24 in Poland. That’s almost a full year of touring which will take the band all across the globe. I grew up on popular and outlaw country music, because that’s what my parents loved.

When I first heard Depeche Mode, I didn’t understand it.

Now, however, they are a band I couldn’t live without, and their broad popularity speaks for itself. The closest this world tour will come to us is the Sept. 12 June 27, 2013

Now—Dec. in the U.S. If you've been bummed about missing the first leg of Beyonce's latest tour, you don't have to be anymore. Bey just added twenty plus new dates that are going to keep her on the road through the rest of the year. But July is still probably your best to try and see Mrs. Carter in the flesh since she'll be in NOLA, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Atlanta early in the month.

LIL WAYNE'S AMERICA'S MOST WANTED MUSIC FESTIVAL with T.I. and 2 Chainz July 9—Sept. 1

date in Atlanta. I highly recommend this tour; Depeche Mode is well worth a five-hour trip to Atlanta. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Bat for Lashes is on the road as their supporting act. The tickets that are left, and they are going quickly, are around $60 with fees, but also well worth it to catch a piece of this monstrous effort.

Whitney's Pick:

BLAKE SHELTON TEN TIMES CRAZIER TOUR

Just finishing his season on “The Voice” with Danielle Bradbery winning for Team Blake, Blake Shelton will probably be rowdier than ever during his summer tour.

The closest he will be to Pensacola is Atlanta and Tampa in August. Supporting acts are Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer.

Remember a while back when we all thought Weezy might be gone for good?

Darn purple drank and Internet rumors.

If you're looking to celebrate the fact that he's alive and well, I can't think of a better way than by catching a date on this tour, which kicks off July 9 in Birmingham, Ala. at the Oak Mountain Amphitheatre.

BRUNO MARS—MOONSHINE JUNGLE WORLD TOUR

Now—Aug. 30 in the U.S. Even if you aren't a huge fan of Bruno, you might be into his opening acts—Ellie Goulding and Fitz & The Tantrums. Fitz will be on the bill for all the Florida dates in late August, plus Atlanta.

THE POSTAL SERVICE

with Big Freedia, Divine Fits (varies per city)

Now—Aug. 3 Ten years after "Give Up" The Postal Service are finally doing the victory lap that album deserves and it's fans want. Ben, Jimmy and Jenny are still playing coy about whether or not we'll ever get another TPS record, but maybe all the sold-out dates on this tour will be enough to convince them.

THE NATIONAL Rick's Pick:

SATCHMO SUMMER FEST

Festival Date: Aug. 3 – 5, New Orleans There are two summer rules: 1) Don’t wear socks with sandals, and 2) Don’t go to New Orleans in August. The Satchmo Summer Fest just might cause me to break the second rule. Set in the French Quarter, this three-day outdoor festival has all the things I love about New Orleans—jazz, art, food, snoballs and Abita beer. Celebrated on Louis Armstrong’s birthday, the festival includes performances by the top jazz bands, a Sunday morning Jazz mass at historic St. Augustine Church in Treme, a traditional second line parade and a trumpet tribute to close the festival. You won’t ever catch me wearing socks with sandals, but you will find me in the Quarter this August 4 toasting Louis Armstrong.

Aug.—Oct. in the U.S. Touring in support of their latest album “Trouble Will Find Me,” the National has several tour dates in the South spread across Tennessee, North Carolina and Georgia in early September. Although just on the other side of Labor Day and technically sneaking into fall, I can't think of a better way to close out a summer. See you in Atlanta, Sept. 9.

PAUL MCCARTNEY—OUT THERE TOUR

Now—Aug. 14 He's not coming anywhere near Florida, but if your summer plans take you in the ballpark of where Sir McCartney is, you better try your hardest to go. That's just a rule when legends tour.

TAYLOR SWIFT—THE RED TOUR

Now—Sept. 21 Confession—I've seen Taylor Swift in concert before. And I'd gladly do it again if somebody offered me a decent seat to one of the Sept. Nashville shows, but I'd bring earplugs this time. Despite being arena shows with stellar sound systems, it's hard to hear anything beyond the high-pitched shrieks of the "Swifties.” But then again, maybe if you're complaining about how loud the kids are, you just shouldn't be there… {in}

Sarah's Pick:

BUMBERSHOOT

Festival Date: Aug. 31 – Sept. 2, Seattle Because I need you so much closer Ben Gibbard, I feel as though I must choose Bumbershoot as my festival of choice this summer.

Although there are several festivals that have certainly caught my eye and are tugging at my heart strings, I can’t get past the thought of Death Cab for Cutie playing their album “Transatlanticism” all the way through. I suddenly find myself wanting to clap along, and maybe even cry along as Ben Gibbard sings, “I need you so much closer.” Ben aside, I also have a girl crush on Tegan and Sara who made this year’s lineup, would love to check out the badass Flatstock poster show, and figure I may as well give Fun. a fair, or at least fighting chance, to win me over. And so, looks like Bumbershoot for the win!

I WEAR THE BLACK HAT: GRAPPLING WITH VILLAINS (REAL AND IMAGINED)

by Chuck Klosterman

Available July 9 I have a pretty big crush on Chuck Klosterman. But given that that crush is based almost solely on his writing and only a little bit on his adorably nerdy glasses, I don't think it should make you take my excitement about his new book less seriously, OK? Chuck is widely regarded as one of AmeriJune 27, 2013

Available now This third installment in The DaVinci Code series has more conspiracies, puzzles, plot twists and double-crosses than an Escambia County Commission meeting, which is why it’s the perfect summer read. Dan Brown brings back Harvard professor Robert Langdon and throws him into stopping a maniacal millionaire’s plot to destroy a third of the world’s population. Of course, the villain can’t do it without leaving a trail of complex clues. Otherwise the book would only be two sentences—“I killed your friends. Sorry.”

But don’t let your practical side spoil this thriller. The clues, this time, are based on Dante’s epic poem “The Inferno.” Brown weaves history, literature and fiction masterfully, and the book keeps your attention as you try to solve with Langdon the puzzles set before him as he travels Italy.

You don’t to have read the other two books in this series, “The DaVinci Code” and “The Lost Symbol,” to follow the story. If you have them, you won’t be disappointed with “Inferno,” which I consider the best of the series.

MAPS OF THE IMAGINATION: THE WRITER AS CARTOGRAPHER

by Peter Turchi

Available now It’s not often that a book in the genre of literary criticism can capture your imagination and have you unable to put it down— but Turchi has managed to create such a book in “Maps of the Imagination.” Imagine having coffee—or a great glass of scotch on the rocks—with an eccentric, intellectual millionaire who has traveled all over our world and the worlds of every beloved author you’ve ever known. That’s what this book is like. If you’re passionate about books, writing or storytelling of any kind, this beautifully illustrated volume is what you’ve been searching for but just didn’t know it until you found it. I was amazed at the amount I was able to learn from each page and how I could approach the rest of my “summer reading” with a renewed sense of wonder. Bookworms and aspiring-writers should put this gem at the top of their stacks.

DAILY RITUALS, HOW ARTISTS WORK

by Mason Currey

Available now I wish I could say this book came to me in a dream, but that would be a lie.

HALLUCINATIONS

by Oliver Sacks, M.D.

Available now Honestly, I’ll probably be checking this out via audiobook in-between wrangling my two crazy kids, but that’s probably fitting. Written by GQ correspondent and columnist for Deadspin and Gawker Drew Magary, this book relays his frequently humorous battle to survive parenthood intact. It apparently includes parts about drunk trick-or-treating, watching as his kid purposefully pees in a hotel pool, and other fun stuff. Maybe reading—well, listening—about someone else’s child-rearing horror stories will make me feel better about my toddler putting a pillow over his baby sister in an attempt to get her to stop crying—true story.

Available now, paperback edition coming in July As a young doctor, migraines and a taste for psychedelics sparked an interest in hallucinations. Last fall, author and neurologist Oliver Sacks published "Hallucinations," taking a look at the visions we see that aren't really there.

They are brought on by intoxication, sensory deprivation, illness and injury. Where do they come from, and why? This is the NYU School of Medicine professor's 12th book. It explores what hallucinations tell us about our brains, how they have influenced culture and why they are a "vital part of the human condition."

DEXTER

Premieres Sunday, June 30 on Showtime The end is here! I say that reluctantly, while making unsuccessful attempts to hold back tears.

June 30 marks the premiere of the eighth and final season of Showtime’s moneymaker, “Dexter.”

Across the span of the past eight years, I have watched this show religiously, growing, stretching, and changing with the characters, who have become like distant family to me. I mourned character deaths as if I knew them, I celebrated the birth of Dexter’s son, Harrison, and I sat with my teeth clenched in suspense of what would possibly happen next. Now, the last chapter of the saga will be poured out across 12 one hour-long episodes. I find myself in anticipation, primarily for the excitement this new season brings and the possibility of closure, but also for the dread which endings can bring if they aren’t pulled off neatly.

With what I’ve experienced from the show so far, I fully expect the writers to stick the landing.

DRUNK HISTORY

Premieres Tuesday, July 9 on Comedy Central Can a man write a proper preview

June 27, 2013

of Comedy Central's upcoming adaptation of the Funny or Die web series “Drunk History” without a drink in his hand? Didn't think so. The series uses drunk— sometimes, hammered—celebrities to re-enact famous historical events. Danny McBride as George Washington. Will Ferrell as Abraham Lincoln. Don Cheadle as Frederick Douglass. Crispin Glover as Thomas Edison! It's always fun to see actors out of their comfort zone and not taking themselves so seriously. This series is bound to prove that possible, and then some.

Joani's Pick:

THE NEWSROOM

Premiers Sunday, July 14 on HBO If you aren't hooked on HBO's “The Newsroom” yet, I'm going to go ahead and assume that's only because you haven't seen it. Written by Aaron Sorkin and starring Jeff Daniels, the dramatic series chronicles the behind-the-scenes events at a fictional news network called ACN that's a lot like a notso fictional network you probably used to watch (yeah CNN, I'm talking about you). Daniels is beyond perfect as anchor Will McAvoy, but it's really the ensemble cast that runs the show on the fictional “News Night 2.0” and steals it on HBO. John Gallagher, Jr. and Alison Pill are my personal favorites but Emily Mortimer, Dev Patel

and Olivia Munn are great too. My only warning: Each episode is built around a major news event from the recent past—so prepare yourself for some déjà vu moments.

Sarah's Pick:

BROTHER VS. BROTHER

Premieres Sunday, July 21 on HGTV When it comes to TV, it appears I am a sucker for clean-cut fancypantsy men and nice houses. In real life, this is hardly the case.

That said, when I go over to my mom’s house and reenter the fantastical world of cable, I get lost in HGTV most often. I look forward to seeing “property brothers” Drew and Jonathon Scott battle it out in the new home renovation series "Brother vs. Brother," as the duo leads their respective teams in upping the value of two separate houses.

Rick's Pick:

MAGIC CITY

Currently airing on Starz Ike Evans has a problem. His partner in his struggling Miami hotel, Miramar Playa, is mob boss Ben “The Butcher” Diamond. The first season had the two locked in a life and death battle for control of the hotel while trying to legalize casinos in Florida. Set in the early

1960s, the series caught my attention as only a cable series can.

Power and morality played out on the sunny beaches of Miami kept me from turning the channel. This season Evan’s has a plan to rid him and his hotel of Diamond, but he will need the help of Diamond’s boss in the Chicago mob, played

by James Caan. It will be fun to see if Evan’s long-shot gamble pays off and at what price. Or will Ike Evans’ world implode?

Jessica's Pick:

MISTRESSES

Currently airing on ABC ”Mistresses” began on ABC in early June and while sometimes ridiculous, the show is entertaining and suited for letting you turn off your brain, kind of like a late night soap opera.

Whitney's Pick:

TRUE BLOOD

Currently airing on HBO True Blood is back! In the sixth season, the HBO series has gone in a completely different direction than the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse books, and I’m still watching. The season just started on June 16 and the premier didn’t disappoint with suspense and curiosity with Vampire Bill, Jessica and, of course, Sookie.

Samantha's Pick:

UNDER THE DOME

Currently airing on CBS A giant dome. Over a city. Creepy stuff is sure to happen. What more could you want? This new series, based on a Stephen King novel has all the promise to fulfill my intermittent desire to see supernatural events happen to people in Maine. No more Netflixing "IT" and having late night marathon viewings of "The Stand" necessary to get my Stephen King fix.

Edwin's Pick/Prediction:

HOUSE OF CARDS

Premiere date TBD Binge viewing. Thanks Netflix for the new television vernacular. Its what happens when you have an entire season of a TV show on a streaming service and can watch as many as you want, back to back.

This past year, Netflix released is original show “House of Cards” all at once and changed television programming forever, seemingly overnight. The show is dark, dry, intelligent and riddled with humor. Who would have known that the underbelly of politics could be so evil and sexy? The second season is in production now. Online rumor mill is predicting a late summer premier or at the latest early fall.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3

“Despicable Me 2” Gru and the adorable minions return, along with a slew of new characters.

“Lone Ranger”

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer join forces to battle greed and corruption. And because it wouldn't be a Depp film without Helena Bonham Carter, she's there too as the Madam of Brothel.

FRIDAY, JULY 5

“The Way, Way Back”

One of the greatest joys of summer is actually escaping it for a few hours and disappearing into a dark, overly air conditioned movie theatre. I honestly think that's why Hollywood invented the "summer blockbuster." Well that and people needing something to do with their out of school kids, I guess.

Mega movies like “Man of Steel” and “World War Z” might have already kicked off the season earlier this month, but don't you worry. There's still plenty more to come in the way of movies this summer. From Channing Tatum saving the White House to a classic Woody Allen New York story to a "documentary" about teen heartthrobs One Direction—there's something for everybody coming soon to the big screen. Start saving your popcorn money now.

FRIDAY, JUNE 28

“White House Down”

Jamie Foxx as the president and Channing Tatum as the hunky hero? Yup, that sounds like a perfect summer action flick to me.

“The Heat”

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy team up in a classic buddy cop comedy— with a girl power edge. Directed by Paul Feig of "Bridesmaids" fame.

616 1

Not really sure about this one. But it does star Anna Sophia Robb—the adorable actress who plays a teenage Carrie Bradshaw on TV. So at least there's that.

FRIDAY, JULY 12 “Grown Ups 2”

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade team up for the sequel to their 2010 blockbuster.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 17

Kristen Wiig as a playwright who fakes a suicide attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend, but instead gets forced into the care of crazy ass mother.

“R.I.P.D.”

Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star as two cops dispatched by the Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from the otherworld.

“The Conjuring”

Just in case your summer needs a horror flick. This one is based on a true story of a haunted farmhouse in Harrisville, R.I.

MONDAY, JULY 22 *“Springsteen & I”

A documentary project on The Boss made by the fans, for the fans—seriously.

Director Baillie Walsh incorporated video submissions from over 2,000 fans from across the world into the film.

There's something for everybody coming soon to the big screen. Start saving your popcorn money now.

FRIDAY, JULY 26 “The Wolverine”

Comic book fans rejoice—one of most iconic characters of the X-Men universe is finally getting a movie all to himself.

*“Blue Jasmine”

Described as "the story of the final stages of an acute crisis and a life of a fashionable New York housewife" "Blue Jasmine" sounds like a classic Woody Allen flick if ever there was one. Cate Blanchett stars as said fashionable housewife.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 31 “The Smurfs 2”

The basic plot of this sequel—the eternally evil Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties and they try and steal the magical Surf-essence.

FRIDAY, AUG. 2 “2 Guns”

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington star as two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on run together.

FRIDAY, AUG. 9 “Elysium”

Matt Damon. Jodie Foster. The year 2159. Need I say more?

“Disney's Planes”

A spin-off from the hit "Cars," the "Planes" story centers on Dusty and his dreams of competing as a high-flying air race plane.

“We're the Millers”

Jason Sudeikis stars a pot dealer with a heart of gold in this comedy, which also features Jennifer Aniston, Ed Helms and Emma Roberts.

*“Lovelace”

Amanda Seyfried stars as iconic porn star Linda Lovelace. The film follows her rise to

fame and her subsequent transformation into feminist, anti-pornography supporter Linda Marchiano.

FRIDAY, AUG. 16 “Kick-Ass 2”

Amateur superheroes abound—including Jim Carrey—in this sequel.

“The Butler”

Inspired by a Washington Post article about an African-American man who served as a butler for eight presidents and stars Forest Whitaker and Oprah. Can you say, "Oscar bait?"

“Jobs”

This flick might be an Oscar contender too, if it doesn't suck. And given that they cast the always if-y Ashton Kutcher as iconic Apple founder Steve Jobs, it could easily go either way.

FRIDAY, AUG. 23

“The World's End”

Don't let the name fool you—this isn't another doomsday action flick. The World's End is a bar and this movie is about an attempt to recreate an epic pub crawl.

“The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones”

Demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and half-angel warriors called Shadowhunters—if that sounds like your cup of tea, this movie is for you.

FRIDAY, AUG. 30 “Getaway”

Ethan Hawke as a former racecar driver and Selena Gomez as a character called "The Kid." Sounds weird, right? Just not sure if it's going to be good weird or bad weird. But I'm totally going to watch it.

“One Direction: This is Us”

1D in 3D? Where do I sign up? Don't lie, you know you want to see Harry Styles on the big screen, too. {in}

THE LONE RANGER

Wednesday, July 3 I can’t really deny my bias on this one. Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinski, and Disney? Sign me up. But seriously, let’s just break this one down. The director of the first three “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, teamed up with incomparable Depp with the deep pockets of Disney to fund the project—how could this possibly be anything but awesome? On top of those pretty formidable advantages, it’s based on a beloved classic cowboy adventure series. Flawless. It’s important to note that Verbinski and Depp have already teamed up on a whimsical take on the classic Western genre in the animated film “Rango,” which won an Oscar for Best Animated Film in 2012. If you haven’t seen it, you should.

“Rango” was gritty, funny and thrilling—and that was with a cast

Jason's Pick:

PACIFIC RIM

Friday, July 12 To be perfectly honest, when the trailer for “Pacific Rim” first crossed my screen, I yawned and waited for Channing Tatum’s face to pop up. I thought, “Great, here’s that Halo movie we’ve been waiting fo….” The thought alone put me to sleep.

However, something I didn’t expect popped up in lieu of Mr. Tatum’s face: “Written & Directed

by Guillermo del Toro.” If you’re unfamiliar with that name, del Toro is an accomplished Mexican director and screenwriter. He is most well known for more popular action movies, like “Hellboy” or “Blade 2.” However, his true genius shines in the fantasy/horror genre, as displayed in more obscure releases “The Devil’s Backbone” and “Pan’s Labyrinth.”

As with most of his movies, an air of mystery surrounds “Pacific Rim” and the trailer doesn’t provide a whole lot of information.

The movie takes place in the future, there is a war between giant sea creatures and giant robots, and Charlie Day plays a doctor.

Again, Charlie Day plays a DOCTOR. I’m sold.

Rick's Pick:

RED 2

Friday, July 19 My favorite superhero isn’t Iron Man, Superman or, heaven forbid, Thor. It’s Bruce Willis. Nothing says summer action flick more than a Willis film. And better yet this one also has John Malkovich and Helen Mirren two of my favorite more serious actors as his sidekicks. Willis plays retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses who reunites his unlikely team of

elite operatives, which includes Malkovich and Mirren, for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. Not original plot, but it’s Willis that will make this film fun and entertaining. Moses is another version of John McCain, but who cares?

Explosions, fights and car chases accompanied by wisecracks are what we look for in summer flicks.

Bruce Willis can be counted to deliver all three. Thank God, there are still some things we can believe in.

Sundance Film Festival, and a plot that sounds satisfyingly dramatic and depressing, I’m pretty much already sold on this movie without having seen it. Separated when he takes the fall for a crime while his wife escapes, the movie follows Bob Muldoon’s (Casey Affleck) prison escape and potentially hopeless search for his wife (Mara) and daughter whom he's never met, since she was born during his incarceration.

See? Already heartbreaking, my kind of movie.

Jessica's Pick:

Joani's Pick:

BLUE JASMINE

Friday, July 26 Woody Allen is back, with a stateside-focused flick featuring Cate Blanchett and a host of other critically acclaimed actors (and Louis C.K.!). Blue Jasmine is Allen’s treatment of the west coast, namely San Francisco. Critics are already praising the flick as solid Allen comedy.

Samantha's Pick:

AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTS

Friday, Aug. 16 With a cast that includes Rooney Mara, the badass heroine of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," the winner of U.S. Dramatic Cinematography Award at the 2013 June 27, 2013

THE BLING RING

Hopefully any day now (nationwide release was June 21, but it's still not showing locally) In my eyes, Sofia Coppola can do no wrong. I know a lot of people don't "get" her style—it's slow, overly saturated visually and beyond subtle. But I don't care—I love it. I also (not so secretly) love cheesy stories about celebrities—what they wear, who they are dating, how expensive their shoes are… I know I shouldn't care, but I do. So when I heard that my girl's latest film was about the true tale of fameobsessed teens who robbed celebrities like Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson a few years ago, I got a little too excited. It's been out for weeks, but hasn't made it's way here yet… fingers crossed it happens soon.

Learning from Angelina

Actress Ignites Dialog on Genetic Cancer Testing

by Jeremy Morrison

“With Angelina Jolie doing this, it will help let people know it’s available,” Liebenguth said, noting that she has seen a recent uptick in interest. “I’ve had about fi ve or six so far, since she’s done it.”

WHAT IS BRCA?

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes were discovered in the mid-1990s. They belong to a class of genes known as tumor suppressors. The BRCA designation is derived from the words BReast CAncer.

In normal cells, the genes help prevent uncontrolled cell growth and ensure the stability of the cell’s genetic material. They help repair damaged DNA. However, harmful mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been linked to the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In addition, harmful BRCA1 mutations may also increase the chance of developing cervical, uterine, pancreatic and colon cancer, while harmful BRCA2 mutations may also increase the risk of pancreatic and stomach cancer, gallbladder and bile duct cancer, as well as melanoma. For men, harmful BRCA mutations indicate an increased risk of pancreatic, testicular and early-onset prostate cancer, as well as breast cancer.

According to estimates from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), about 12 percent of women in the general population will develop breast cancer at some point over the course of their life. That number goes up dramati-

BRCA Blood Draw and Oral Tests / photo courtesy Baptist Health Care This spring, actress Angelina Jolie underwent a double mastectomy. She didn’t have breast cancer. But there was a good chance she would one day.

“Life comes with many challenges,” Jolie wrote in a mid-May op-ed piece for The New York Times. “The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.”

Jolie made the decision to have her breasts removed because she tested positive for the BRCA1 gene. Doctors were estimating the actress had an 87-percent risk of breast cancer and a 50-percent risk of ovarian cancer.

“Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could,” Jolie wrote in the op-ed that announced her decision.

Genetic testing for harmful mutations in the BRCA genes isn’t exactly new. But it is getting increased exposure in the wake of Jolie’s revelation.

“It’s been here, it’s not new,” explained Pat Liebenguth, a registered nurse with the Baptist Cancer Institute. “She just kind of put it out in the spotlight.”

Liebenguth recalls Former First Lady Betty Ford’s impact on breast cancer awareness in the 1970s—“before that you didn’t talk about breast cancer at all”—and sees Jolie’s recent disclosure as having a similar effect when it comes to genetic testing for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

June 27, 2013

cally—to about 60 percent—for women who have inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.

The NCI estimates that 1.4 percent of women in the general population will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For women with harmful BRCA mutations, that number ranges from 15 to 40 percent.

“You can see there’s a big difference there,” noted Liebenguth.

THE MAYBE TEST

To learn if they have the harmful BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations—and thus a greater risk of certain kinds of cancers—individuals can elect to undergo genetic testing. Baptist has been offering the testing service since 2005, and has since been joined by a number of other health providers.

Offering a peek at the odds, the BRCA test allows for the option of proactive action.

In Jolie’s case, she decided to better her odds with a double mastectomy.

“Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness,” the actress wrote in her op-ed. “But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action.”

Taking such drastic action betters the odds significantly.

Jolie’s doctors estimate that her surgery dropped her risk of breast cancer to less than 5 percent.

“If we can prevent someone from having cancer,” Liebenguth said, “that’s worth its weight in gold.”

But taking such action does not insulate an individual from developing cancer. While addressing such a revelation head-on betters the odds, there are some important points to note: not everyone with a harmful BRCA mutation will develop cancer and the absence of such a harmful mutation does not mean cancer will not develop.

“If we can prevent someone from having cancer, that’s worth its weight in gold.”

Pat Liebenguth, Baptist Cancer Institute RN

THE TEST, AND THEN WHAT

Primarily, women with a history of breast or ovarian cancer in their family should consider getting tested for the harmful BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.

The tests are conducted either by swabbing saliva from the mouth or through a blood test. They’re pricey—running in the thousands—but many insurance policies cover them.

If an individual tests positive for harmful BRCA mutations, they must then make a decision: Address the odds, or simply choose to keep a closer watch over their health.

Liebenguth said not everyone chooses as radical a route as Jolie, but instead arm themselves with knowledge and remain vigilant. The nurse suggests more frequent tests for cancer if someone learns they are at an increased risk.

“They could do twice a year, instead of once a year,” Liebenguth said. “If you get those more frequently, you’re going to find something sooner.” {in}

DANGEROUS INFORMATION

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) outlines a number of risks associated with genetic testing for harmful mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

In addition to leading to possibly ineffective surgery for individuals acting upon a positive test, or “survivor guilt” for those testing negative, the NCI sites possible social ramifications: “Test results can also affect personal choices, such as marriage and childbearing.”

There are also concerns about the information revealed in genetic tests being placed in an individual’s medical records.

While federal law prohibits discrimination based on a person’s genetic information in relation to health insurance and employment, it does not cover life insurance, disability insurance and long-term care insurance.

“The insurance company may take genetic test results into account when making decisions about coverage,” warns the NCI.

The Etheridge Prescription: Improving Your Odds with Preventative Measures

by Jeremy Morrison

In a culture obsessed with celebrities, the actions of the famous tend to invoke a good bit of opinion. Angelina Jo-

lie’s decision to have a double mastectomy in response to the revelation that harmful mutations in her BRCA1 gene dramatically increased her chances of developing breast cancer was certainly no exception.

While many applauded Jolie’s decision, describing it as “brave,” others questioned it. Notably, another celebrity—singer Melissa Etheridge, who battled breast cancer several years ago and also has mutations in her BRCA1 gene—called the actress’s decision “the most fearful choice you can make.”

Etheridge argued that environmental factors play a significant role in the development of cancer. She advises people to “really consider the advancements we’ve made in things like nutrition and stress levels.”

While genetic tests, such as the BRCA tests, obviously offer a deeper insight into an individual’s health, the singer’s advice is also sound. There are a number of preventative steps a person can take to better the chances that cancer will not develop.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) outlines a number of these preventative measures. Here are a few steps people can take to better their odds:

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Good ‘ol exercise. This is a pretty basic one. An active body is going to be in better condition than an inactive one.

The NCI reports that there is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of cancers of the colon and breasts. Studies also indicate that there are links between physical activity and reduced risks of endometrial (lining of the uterus) cancer, as well as lung and prostate cancers.

Current Institute-funded studies are looking at the role of physical activity in cancer survivorship and quality of life.

SMOKING

This is old news. Smoking is bad for your health. Of the more than 7,000 compounds in tobacco smoke, at least 250 are known to be harmful. Smoking has been linked to many kinds of cancers, including cancers of the lung, esophagus, larynx, mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach and cervix.

CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES

Cruciferous vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, other nutrients and chemical compounds known as glucosinolates.

Glucosinolates break down into biologically

active compounds that are currently being studied for possible anticancer effects.

While some of these compounds have shown such effects in cells and animals, the results of studies involving humans have been less clear.

To play it safe, eat your vegetables. Specifically, the cruciferous ones. That includes brussel sprouts, watercress, wasabi, turnips, cabbage, collard greens, kale, horseradish, rutabaga, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes and bok choy.

RED WINE

Red wine provides a rich source of biologically active phytochemicals. Some such compounds found in red wine are thought to have antioxidant or anticancer properties.

Research on the antioxidants has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers. They have been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals, and inhibit the growth of varying kinds of cancer cells in culture. Recent animal studies suggest this anti-inflammatory compound might be an effective chemopreventive agent. {in}

Talking About Generationals

by Joani Delezen

mean that maybe you guys have spent some time on our beaches?

JOYNER: Yeah, at some point during the summer, pretty much every summer, we make it down there. We'll just go with friends and use their boat or just go jump in the ocean. New Orleans is so brutal during the summer and there's something cleansing about getting in the ocean.

press photo Even if you haven't heard of the Generationals, you've probably heard them.

Their unique brand of indie pop has been fi nding it's way into commercials and onto soundtracks and mix tapes since pretty much day one. And for good reason. They make light, catchy songs that are also really good, musically complex songs. That's not a mix most bands can pull off, but it's exactly what Generationals do.

Currently touring in support of their latest album “Heza,” the band is making the rounds in the region and stopping at Vinyl Music Hall for the fi rst time Friday night.

They played Sluggo's before but as their fi rst band—The Eames Era. The IN caught up with one of the bands "co-leaders" Ted Joyner while the band was on the road in L.A. and talked about their musical hometown, our beaches and the universal power “GIRLS.” IN: You recorded part of your new album “Heza” at home in New Orleans, right?

Was that the first time you've recorded there?

JOYNER: It was. All of our other recording projects have been in other cities, but this time we worked on it a lot in New Orleans. It was a different process and more integrated into everyday life. Usually we are somewhere else and we're there just to work on the record and it's more of a compressed timeline and a narrow focus on just the work. But this was more like "let's take a weekend off and go to the beach" and come back and keep working.

IN: Your hometown is known for music, but not typically the kind you're creating. What's it like to be in a modern indie band in a town full of jazz, brass bands and hip-hop?

JOYNER: It's definitely a small piece of the landscape of the city, which is more known, like you said, for other things. A lot of that is the type of stuff we grew up on, so it's part of how we think of music.

But you don't hear it specifically in what we write. It's funny, the city just has so much. Even beyond the stuff it's know for.

There's a big metal scene, there's bounce rap, different varieties of jazz, people playing music on the street all day, ever day. It's a musical town and we just represent a little tiny blip.

IN: Have you and Grant Widmer really been making music together for a decade?

JOYNER: Yeah, that occurred to me recently. Before this band we were in another band together and that started around 2003. We've known each other even longer than that, too. We've evolved from being buddies when we were little and into making something. Now we are kind of like business partners and co-leaders of this creative project. We've known each other a long time and it's funny to look back and think about how long it's been.

IN: "Get yourself to Pensacola and wash yourself off"—I've always imagined that line from "These Habits" to

“We're less concerned with adhering to any signature sound and more about just letting the song be what it needs to be.”

Ted Joyner

IN: You've been making records pretty steadily since your first—“Con Law.” How do you keep that kind of productivity up?

JOYNER: Pretty much since we released our first record on our first label—Park The Van Records—we've kind of done one release a year. Whether it be an EP or a full length, we've at least released something every year.

It's been a good, steady output. It's really because you make something and you go out and start playing it and touring behind and inevitably you want to start making new stuff.

IN: Your sound is not an easy one to pin down or classify. What do you say when people ask you to sum it up or define it?

JOYNER: I think it's a result of being influenced by a lot of diverse music—which I'm sure most people are—and that filters through. The other thing is we're always concerned with letting whatever the idea of the song is become what it needs to be and never feeling too restricted by the idea "Is this going to sound like a Generationals song?" It's more important to us that it's just a good song.

We're less concerned with adhering to any signature sound and more about just letting the song be what it needs to be. The result of that are very different sounding songs or songs that sound like they are coming from very different places sometimes.

IN: What's it like to hear your songs out in the world—like during the wedding scene in “GIRLS”?

JOYNER: In the case of “GIRLS,” we knew it was coming. We are both kind of fans of that show, so that was a fun one. For the most part though, it's just kind of surreal and weird.

IN: Do you think that kind of

exposure has helped you reach a broader audience?

JOYNER: Yeah, it's definitely a way people find you. There was time when radio was the way you found out about music, but now there are other strange ways that you can find a new band. In my opinion, it's all fine as long as you're finding something you like. That moment of discovering something that resonates with you, no matter where it happens, at least it does happen still.

IN: I've seen you guys play a few times in NOLA and people go off when you play "Nobody Could Change Your Mind."

Was that one of the first songs people heard from Generationals?

JOYNER: That one has become a banger live. I honestly don't know why, but it has.

In a way, we are always surprised by the response to certain songs live.

IN: The reviews of the new record are pretty much positive across the board.

How do you feel about it?

JOYNER: We are really proud of it and, as with each new one, we think it's our best one. We're always hoping we're getting better and better. But now that it's out, that feeling starts creeping in again and we are ready to make some new stuff. {in}

Slow Food Picks Up Steam

by Jessica Forbes

“A Community Cooks” is the launch of the Gulf Coast chapter of Slow Food USA, an organization whose byline is “Supporting Good, Clean, and Fair Food.”

Slow Food is a global movement with members in over 150 countries that promote ecologically- and socially-conscious food production. “Local, seasonal, and sustainable” sums up the focus of Slow Food.

Sandy Veilleux of Flora Bama Farms calls the Slow Food Gulf Coast launch event an “Eat and Greet,” a way for people “to get to know the faces of those taking on using fresh food.” Those faces belong to numerous local farmers, food artisans, retailers, chefs, and restaurateurs who are banding together under Slow Food Gulf Coast to promote a regional food economy.

Seven local chefs will participate in the tasting event, preparing small plates using locally grown produce and locally produced ingredients, an increasingly common occurrence across Pensacola’s culinary landscape. Veilleux states that numerous local chefs are helping to grow farmers’ business by purchasing and using the food they grow in their restaurants.

“People are grouping together to raise awareness of eating local,” said Veilleux, whose farm provides produce and products to multiple local restaurants, including those of all of the event’s participating chefs. “We all have a similar goal.”

The fundraiser will be held at The Palafox House, the newest venue for event partner the Great Southern Restaurant Group (GSRG). Atlas Oyster House, the Fish House and Jackson’s are all part of the GSRG family, and chefs from GSRG will participate in the Slow Food event.

Chefs from The Magnolia, Carmen’s, Pensacola Country Club, R&R Fine Catering and Nancy’s Haute Affairs will also be part of the action.

“We’ve reached out to so many people who’ve embraced slow food in their restaurants and lives,” said Veilleux, who is enthusiastic about the opportunity to connect the public with the various players working to promote a truly local, sustainable food culture. “Foodies bring what we’re doing to the next level.” {in}

Most pet owners, like any crazy-in-love parent, are proud to share photos of their animal companion to anyone who will stand still long enough. The Humane Society of Pensacola’s Barktoberfest 2013 Calendar Contest allows them to do just that, but on a much wider, public scale.

Barktoberfest is held in Seville Square, and features a number of activities that raise awareness of and funds for the HSOP and its mission.

Proceeds from the calendar sales go to help feed and care for animals boarding at the HSOP, a no-kill shelter and adoption center that depends on donations and fundraisers for funding.

Ears & Fingers

by Jason Leger

KANYE WEST – ‘YEEZUS’

Kanye West is unavoidable. He pops up in more places than he is probably wanted and the world is forced to pay attention.

His presence is understandable for a few reasons. He is immoderately confident.

Even when entering new territory or being declared less than the best, he always views himself as the top dog. He is incredibly arrogant. Self-promotion in our culture is very common, but Kanye with his antics and his words, elevates self-promotion to a level that is almost slimy. He is also undeniably talented. I am not a huge fan of Kanye West as an individual; however, I am a huge fan of Kanye West as a performer.

From the very first track on his new LP, “Yeezus,” Kanye is giving us the absolute best of what he offers. Crude, creative, catchy, and delivered with simmering selfconfidence, “Yeezus” is 40 minutes filled with NSFW experimental hip-hop gems.

This is easily Kanye’s most ambitious and impavid work to date exploring the worlds of minimalism, the unapologetic mind of a narcissist, and unconventional beats and samples provided by a series of producers, including Daft Punk and Rick Rubin.

CONCERT: SAGE 7 p.m. As an all-women's jazz, blues and contemporary ensemble, Sage creates a sound that transcends time and generation-part contemporary, part nostalgic and a whole lot of soul. The group and its members have opened for and appeared with Ray Charles, Denzel Washington, Regina Carter, the Duke Ellington Show Choir and many others. It has headlined at both of the Inaugural Balls honoring President Barack Obama, Major League Baseball's All-Star Games and World Classic in San Diego, the Martha's Vineyard Jazz and Blues Festival, and many renowned venues. The concert will be taped live for a special edition of WSRE TV's programs, “Studio Amped” and “Aware.” Tickets are $5 for general admission and free for Pensacola State College students with a current college ID. They are available at the Lyceum Box Office, Building 8, Room 861, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and one hour prior to performance at the Amos Studio Box Office. Pensacola State College, Jean and Paul Amos Performance Studio, Building 23.

For more information, call the PSC Institutional Diversity Office at 484-1759.

Personally, my highlight, and arguably the catchiest track on the album, is “Black Skinhead,” which contains the line, “I ain’t finished, I’m devoted. And you know it, and you know it.” There is an inarguable truth in that statement, and its glare is at the very core of “Yeezus.” Kanye West is arrogant, unapologetic, rude, and narcissistic, but he is also an artist who is devoted to his craft. With every new album we get from him, he stretches himself and is able to stay at the top of the game without fail. He seems to prove time and time again that no matter what he does, he’s going to have our attention. “Yeezus” is out now via Def Jam Records.

LISTENER – ‘TIME IS A MACHINE’

If there were one musical element that I would pinpoint as always piquing my interest and forcing me to pay attention, it would be urgency. I love music for music’s sake, but when there is a message behind the music, which the artist feels a strain within their soul to get out, I’m sold. Dan Smith is a musician with an urgent message, which he presents with such fervency in every song he writes, that it’s difficult to not pay attention. He has such a feverish need to get through to his audience with lyrics wrapped in realist sadness delivered with a hopeful smile. Smith developed “talk music,” a genre which incorporates spoken word over compositions brought together with the help of guitarist Kristin Nelson and drummer Kris Rochelle.

Last week, Listener released “Time Is a Machine,” its fourth full length as a talk music act, and first as a full band. Within a couple of spins, it felt very familiar. Moody,

FIDDLER ON THE ROOF 7:30 p.m. When Tevye's eldest daughter, Tzeitel, begs him to let her marry a poor tailor rather than the middleaged butcher that he has already chosen for her, Tevye must choose between his own daughter's happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Meanwhile, there are other forces at work in Anatevka, dangerous forces which threaten to destroy the very life he is trying to preserve. Pensacola Little Theatre, 400 S. Jefferson St. $14-$30. 432-2042 or pensacolalittletheatre.com.

GHOST HUNT 8 p.m. Bring your own equipment or share ours (some items available for purchase in the Gift Shop before tours commence.) Tours are two hours in duration. This tour does include a trip to the top of the Lighthouse for a look across Pensacola Bay, weather permitting. Per Coast Guard Safety Regulations backless/open toed shoes are not permitted to climb the tower stairs. We recommend this tour for children 12 and over only. Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum, 2081 Radford Blvd. 393-1561 or pensacolalighthouse.org.

sometimes boisterous, sometimes moving music pieces, trademark swaps between endearing and aggressive vocal patterns, and lyrics which often seem they are being presented tongue in cheek, but are actually quite somber and poignant. On the other hand, this is the most straightforward rock album of Listener’s existence. The addition of a full-fledged drummer between albums has made significant changes to the songwriting process, which is mostly notable in upbeat numbers like “Good News First,” “I Think It’s Called Survival,” and lead single “Eyes To The Ground For Change.”

Personally, I feel the lyrics are the center of Listener’s appeal. Smith’s gift with wordplay is what drew me to his art several years ago. It seems as though the lyrics provide something for everyone to grab on to, even if you find the music or Smith’s delivery as difficult to digest. Otherwise, it would seem as though you aren’t listening, and, considering the band name—I think Smith would add “with all due respect”— this isn’t for you. “Time is a Machine” is out now via the band’s bandcamp page listener.bandcamp.com. {in}

Fourth of July Fireworks

by Jessica Forbes

Fireworks, like cookouts and cold drinks, are a ubiquitous part of Independence Day. As most people—aside from those in the hospitality industry— have the day off of work, relaxing and watching pretty, glittering lights in the sky doesn’t seem like a bad way to break from the usual.

INTRODUCTION TO CLASSICAL GUITAR 10:30 a.m. Navarre resident and Northwest Florida State College instructor Jimmy Chandler will present a hands-on “Introduction to the Classical Guitar.” Navarre Library, 8484 James M. Harvell Rd., Navarre. Free. 981-7323 or santarosa.fl.gov/libraries.

Pensacola hosts one of the largest fireworks displays on the Gulf Coast. This year’s Sertoma’s 24th Annual Fourth of July Celebration will take place throughout the day on Thursday, July 4 in Seville Square, with the traditional, huge fireworks show wrapping up the festivities at night.

The celebration in Seville Square runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will include regional bands, food vendors, arts and crafts vendors and a free children’s area. There will even be a hot dog eating contest at noon, if you are feeling competitive.

For more moderate eaters, the day is a great time to try the various restaurants around Seville Square and downtown— maybe even grab a gelato at Dolce and/ or beer at Pensacola Bay Brewery, both

So grab a beach chair, put on comfy shoes, and head downtown for one of Pensacola’s largest gatherings—the Fourth of July fireworks await you! {in}

Jazz's Funky New Blood

press photo Never turn down a free CD. Sure, most of the time, the music will be cringe-worthy, but every now and then, you find a diamond in the rough like Captain Green. Before their two shows in Pensacola, keyboardist Ross Hoppe spoke to the IN about the sevenpiece band's unique brand of psychedelic funk and jazz, their musical heroes, and how the band approaches their live show.

IN: Jazz isn't usually the most accessible type of music. Were most of you guys into it from an early age and how did jazz in particular pique your interest?

HOPPE: My grandpa was always a fan of old jazz, Dixieland and big band swing. He would have it on all the time, so I always liked it. At the age of 14, I started studying jazz. We were all also lucky to go to high schools where jazz was offered as part of the music curriculum.

IN: The band claims 85 years of combined musical experience and some of the guys have music degrees. How does that education and background help in the live show?

Olive

HOPPE: We’ve all participated in ensembles whether it be big bands, concert wind ensembles, drum lines, orchestras, etc.

This helps us most with how we run rehearsals. It really helps us rehearse the small things repetitively and get them super tight. When that happens, everything just falls into place.

We’ve all also played in top 40 type bands at some point or another. From that we really learned how to get the crowd involved and put out the energy they respond to.

Pieces like that are what really set you guys apart, in my opinion.

HOPPE: It’s all about reading the crowd. It can be just four people, but they can be four of the weirdest people you know who love Frank Zappa, Grateful Dead and just good music, and you can go anywhere with it. Like Coltrane said, “You can play a shoestring if you’re sincere.”

IN: You'll most likely have two very different crowds at your two Pensacola shows. How do you handle playing in different settings like that?

HOPPE: Again, that comes with being able to read people and then being able to give them what they want. Sometimes it’s like getting in a hot tub, you just want to put your toe in first and ease your way in. Being able to play things more laid back like Freddie Hubbard and Herbie Hancock to ease the crowd in before giving them our more hardhitting stuff is something that is very valuable to us. Then again, there are times where the crowd is just ready for it, and the energy is at 100 percent from the very beginning.

IN: Do you get to see much live music yourselves? Any standout shows you've seen in the last year or so?

HOPPE: My word! Some of us make an annual pilgrimage to Bear Creek each year to see four days of nothing but the stankiest, nastiest funk you’ll ever see. Phish, Furthur and Medeski, Martin and Wood are some of the touring bands we’ve been fortunate enough to see and take things from to incorporate into our shows.

Being in close proximately to New Orleans helps a lot. We try to catch WHEN: 6 p.m. Thursday, June 27 (Paraas much music as we can—we love it! dise); 8 p.m. Monday, July 1 (Handlebar) WHERE: Paradise Bar & Grill, 21 Via De IN: Where do the international Luna Drive, Pensacola Beach; The Handleelements of the Captain Green bar, 31 N.

the

world music to try and have as much to draw from as possible.

IN: How do you balance improvisation and structure within a live show?

HOPPE: We all watch and communicate on the stage, and if you watch each other, anything is possible.

“Playing for people who are happy and respond positively to the show is one of the greatest feelings there is.”

Ross Hoppe

IN: What gave you the confidence to get out there on the road for the first time?

HOPPE: People encouraging us to try has been huge for us. Also, the joy of playing and spreading that joy to others.

Playing for people who are happy and respond positively to the show is one of the greatest feelings there is.

PYP HAS A PLAN

A strategic plan, that is. PYP’s board of directors is hard at work putting the finishing touches on its 2013-2014 strategic plan.

Our goal is to provide the organization with short-, mid-, and long-term goals to guide us into the future.

PYP has identified five major strategies that are essential as we move forward: 1. Focus on attracting and retaining engaged members. We want to continue pulling in the best and brightest young people in our area, but we also want to help our members truly integrate with the organization, finding a personal niche and gaining fulfillment from their time with PYP. 2. Empower members to make a difference by becoming active participants in the professional, civic, and philanthropic aspects of the community. PYP strives to give its members many opportunities to engage with local leaders, speak out on community issues, and volunteer for numerous worthwhile charities. We want our members to be truly active within this community, endeavoring to make a positive difference every day.

3. Ensure consistent financial performance for the future viability of the organization. PYP derives most of its funding from membership dues and corporate sponsorships. We feel a powerful responsibility to guard the monies with which we have been entrusted, and we carefully manage our funds to safeguard the stability of PYP for many years to come.

4. Create greater, positive brand awareness in the community. PYP members do so much for this community and for each other, and we want to share our success stories with the public. Through venues such as social media and this very page in the Independent, we seek to better educate our neighbors about PYP’s efforts to make the Pensacola Bay Area an even better plan to live, work, and play.

5. Become the organization of choice for leadership opportunities, development, and growth. We truly believe that our members are the community leaders of tomorrow, and we take seriously our reasonability to provide leadership training and professional development to help turn our members into confident, knowledgeable, and virtuous young men and women.

There are many individual initiatives that PYP has identified to help achieve these five main strategies, and we are busily creating metrics and establishing baseline data so that we can accurately and objectively measure our growth and performance in the months and years to come.

Please continue to read our monthly IN page and keep up-to-date on how our efforts are going!

PYP BEACH CLEANUP PYP will be teaming up with the Ocean Hour Florida Chapter, an organization that schedules international and regional cleanup of our planet’s beaches and waters!

Join members of both PYP and the Ocean Hour Florida on Saturday, July 20th from 9:00-10:00 a.m. at Park West, the beach at the entrance to Fort Pickens, for both gulf side and sound side cleanup. We encourage everyone to come out and support local cleanup efforts and have a little fun in the sun! Ocean Hour will be providing trash bags, but it is recommended that participants bring along gloves for protection when handling beach trash. Be sure to bring along your sunscreen, volleyballs, frisbees, rafts and other floaties, horseshoes or other beach games for after the scheduled cleanup has finished to enjoy a day of sun and sand with fellow members and cleanup participants. We look forward to seeing you there.

recently took lead for our June 21st event as we cooked dinner for the families at the Ronald McDonald House. She has participated in so many efforts, including our community beautification projects, last quarter's Bridges to Circles event, and the painting of the Humane Society's animal shelter. She continuously asks if there is anything more she can do to help; no matter how big or small or messy the job, she is there and willing to work. At all times she shows a true passion for PYP and a sense of dedication to help us achieve our mission.

She will, without a doubt, continue to make her mark in PYP and in our broader community. In a nutshell, she is an amazing asset to PYP and specifically to the QoL Team.

What PYP member played the saxophone, marched in the Showband of the South, was voted Prom King and rode a bike from Pensacola to Philadelphia for charity? Why, John David Ellis, of course.

John, a native of Pensacola, received his B.A. in English from FSU. He has started a career in downtown real estate and is the founding chairman of a young realtor's group. John's drive, leadership, and skill was immediately noticed and, although just a member since October, he has already taken on many leadership roles with PYP. John jumped right into PYP's Community Development Council helping with projects, faithfully attending and speaking at public meetings, and being a key leader in the most recent Community Beautification Projects. John has taken the role of Economic Development Co-Chair under this Council and continues to prove himself even more valuable everyday. PYP is grateful to have such a motivated and trustworthy individual as a part of their team!

news of the weird EYE OPENER Chengdu, China, barber Liu Deyuan, 53, is one of the few who still provide traditional "eye-shaving," in which he holds the eye open and runs a razor across the lids' inner surfaces. Then, using a thin metal rod with a round tip, he gently massages the inside of each lid. Liu told a reporter for the Chengdu Business Daily in April that he had never had an accident (though the reporter apparently could not be enticed to experience the treatment himself, preferring merely to observe), and a highly satisfied customer reported afterward that his eyes felt "moist" and his vision "clearer." A local hospital official said eye-shaving can scrape away scar tissue and stimulate the eyes to lubricate the eye sockets.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY One of April's most popular Internet images consisted of face shots of the current 20 contestants for Miss South Korea—revealing that all 20 appeared eerily similar, and Westernized. Commented one website, "Korea's plastic surgery mayhem is finally converging on the same face." Wrote a South Korean commenter, "Girls here consider eye surgery just like using makeup." Wrote another, "I loved this episode of the Twilight Zone." The country has the highest rate of cosmetic surgery per capita in the world.

• Michinoku Farm of Tokyo finally agreed in May to withdraw its whale meat dog chews, but only after angering environmentalists for having favored the country's pampered canines over endangered North Atlantic fin whales, which were the source of the chews. The meat was purchased from Iceland, which openly defies the international moratorium on whale meat. (Japan officially disagrees with world consensus on which species are endangered.)

• A marriage-encouraging initiative in the Sehore district of India's Madhya Pradesh state awards gifts and financial assistance to couples agreeing to wed in mass ceremonies, but the country also suffers from a notorious toilet shortage. Consequently, the district announced in May that to qualify for the government benefits, the groom must submit to officials a photo of himself beside his own toilet to prove that he and his wife will have home sanitation.

LATEST RELIGIOUS MESSAGES Recurring Theme (People Purporting to Speak for Islam): (1) A Saudi judge ruled in April that it was finally time for Ali al-Khawahir, 24, to suffer for stabbing another boy in the back when Ali was 14. The victim was paralyzed, and under Saudi justice, Ali must also be struck with paralysis or else raise the equivalent of about $260,000 to compensate the victim. (2) Saudi cleric Abdullah Mohamed al-Daoud in May urged his 100,000 Twitter followers to "sexually harass female cashiers" to discourage them from working outside the home. (He is the one who urged in February that babies be veiled to protect them from sexual harassment.)

by Chuck Shepherd

• Closer to God Than You Are: (1) Crystal McVea, author of a recent book chronicling her near-death experience, told a "Fox & Friends" TV host in April that among her most vivid memories of the incident was getting so close to God that she could "smell" him. (2) In May, Anna Pierre, a candidate for mayor of North Miami, Fla., announced on her Facebook page that she had secured the endorsement of Jesus Christ. That would be doubly fortunate for her since a month earlier, she had complained that unknown people had been leaving bad-luck Vodou-ritual feathers, food scraps and candles on her doorstep.

(Jesus' stroke is apparently not what it used to be: She finished seventh in the race.)

• Religious Messages From All Over: (1) A catering company in Leicestershire, England, became a holy site in May after the Hindu owner found an eggplant that resembles the elephant-headed Lord Ganesh.

He said that he prays to it now twice daily and has so far welcomed about 80 visiting worshippers. (2) As part of his recent U.S. tour, the Dalai Lama, introduced to a University of Maryland audience by Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, greeted the governor on stage by rubbing noses with him.

QUESTIONABLE JUDGMENTS Expectant North Carolina parents Adam and Heather Barrington (who is due in July) have disclosed that they will accept underwater midwifing from the Sirius Institute of Pahoa, Hawaii, which arranges for the mother to swim with dolphins pre- and post-natally.

"It is about reconnecting as humans with the dolphins so we can ... learn from one another," said Heather. Said Adam: "Dolphins are very intelligent and healing, which ... calms mother and baby. ..." Biologists writing for the Discovery Channel, however, reminded readers that underwater births are extraordinarily dangerous and that dolphins are "wild animals" that gang-rape female dolphins and "toss, beat and kill small porpoises." Said another, the Barringtons' plan is "possibly the worst idea ever."

LEAST COMPETENT CRIMINALS Dennis Gholston, 45, with outstanding traffic warrants in Pennsylvania, decided in May that, even though alone in his car, he could not resist using a high-occupancy vehicle lane (HOV) on the New Jersey Turnpike near Carteret. His decision was even more unsound because, according to the officer who stopped him for the HOV violation, Gholston was hauling about $4,000 worth of heroin in the car, and he was charged with intent to distribute. {in}
