BP BARBIE FLASHBACK I miss the BP Barbies Liz Castro and Lucia Bustamante. Imagine how those spin doctors would have handled the oil sheens spotted in August near the site of the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11 men and spewed 4.9 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

I can hear Bustamante at a press conference saying, “What oil? Some boat or plane must have caused it. We didn’t do it, and if we did, we have some dispersant to spray on it.”

The Macondo well was capped by BP in July 2010 and permanently killed by sealing the well and annulus with cement on Sept. 19, 2010. BP issued a press release soon after the August oil sheen was reported by the Mobile Press Register.

It was right out of the BP Barbie playbook: “BP confirmed through a standard visual wellhead inspection that there is no release of oil from the Macondo well (MC252).

“In addition, BP also conducted a visual inspection of the Macondo relief well confirming the same result.”

Then BP described the equipment and how reliable it is . W hat it didn’t say is that t wo L SU chemist s analy zed oil samples t aken by the Press Register and conf irmed that it matches the MC 25 2 oil .

“Ms. Bustamante, what about those tests?”

When the newspaper asked BP that question, it received an email reply, “There is still no evidence that the oil came from the Macondo well.”

We know that the Macondo well tapped into a huge reservoir.

We can all remember watching the underwater video of the oil spewing out of the broken pipe. BP failed several times to cap the well because of the immense pressure coming from the well. Several engineers warned us that the pressure could cause fissures in the seabed. Some even worried that the seabed might collapse.

“So, Ms. Bustamante, how can there not be a leak at the well, but the oil matches the oil from the well? ” The oil could be seeping from fractures in the floor of the Gulf of Mexico– one of the worse scenarios possible. BP and the Coast Guard don’t appear to be concerned. The last sentence of the press release stated, “BP and the U. S. Coast Guard have conducted multiple surveys of the area in recent days and found no evidence of oil sheens in the Macondo vicinity.”

A BP Barbie couldn’t have said it better. Some things never change.

“So, Ms. Bustamante, how can there not be a leak at the well, but the oil matches the oil from the well?”

THE ADDERALL APPLE

ADHD Pill Makes it into the Wrong Hands

By Jeremy Morrison It’s an old question: would you eat the apple to know the answer?

We’ve traveled far beyond the gates of Eden, clothed our conscience with a fig leaf in a land where apples are antiquated. These days, smart pills roll en masse off assembly lines into little yellow prescription bottles.

It might be just what the doctor ordered. Or not. Either way, there are final exams to tackle.

SIT STILL AND TAKE YOUR PILL

Children can be exhausting. They run and play and yell and do all the things they aren’t supposed to do. Some are “handfuls” or “holy terrors”.

“Old School” alumni point to the rod...or a paddle, a belt, a switch, a hand. But spanking—now considered barbaric—has been relegated to the shadows.

66

The brave, new world of medicine—of wonder drugs that kind-of-cure—offers another way. The kid can be still, can be quiet. The kid can study. Their brain can be brought into tighter focus.

“Typically, we would get them when they’re between fi ve and seven,” explained Dr. Lielanie Aguilar, a child psychiatrist with Baptist Health Care’s Lakeview Center.

“They didn’t do so well in kindergarten and their parents are worried that it’s going to happen again.”

Children used to be “hyperactive”. Now, they have disorders.

One of the most common disorder diagnosis for a child is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. The condition describes symptoms generally associated with hyperactivity. While widely accepted in the medical community, the concept of diagnosing children with

news

attention deficit-related disorders and medicating them does have its critics. Neurologist Dr. Fred Baughman testified before Congress that ADHD isn’t real, and actor Tom Cruise went bananas on NBC’s “Today Show”, but both are tied to the Church of Scientology and are thus written off as lunatics by some medical and psychiatric establishments.

Instead, the American Psychiatric Association estimates that 3 to 7 percent of school age children have ADHD. Approximately 9.5 percent of children ages 4 to 17, about 5 . 4 million, had been diagnosed as of 2007.

When a child is exhibiting signs of ADHD, a school official or parent might request that an evaluation be conducted. If a doctor deems it beneficial, the child may be prescribed a medication to combat the attention deficit issue.

“It does help with focusing. It does help a person stay on task.”

Dr. Lielanie Aguilar

inweekly.net

Ritalin, the trusty ADHD standby, has been in use for years. More recently, a new amphetamine has joined the collection of pharmaceutical stimulants in the medicine cabinet: Adderall.

“It does help with focusing,” said Aguilar, who considers the drug 80 to 90 percent effective. “It does help a person stay on task.”

Once a child is started on attention-deficit medications such as Adderall, the regimen is meant to be continued for some length of time, usually years. “Fifty percent of the time, you’ll have a child go into adulthood needing medicine,” Aguilar said. “At the very least, throughout school you’ll need it.”

“There’s really no blood tests—parents often ask,” explained Aguilar.

“There’s no MRI or scan that will tell us if a child has ADHD.” Researchers are currently looking into brain functions as they relate to ADHD, but the medical community has not settled on a cause for the disorder.

“Well, that is up for debate,” Aguilar said, adding that there has also been research exploring the possibility that the disorder could be related to environmental factors or diet, “but there’s really nothing solid that is coming out of that.”

“If the kids know what to say—and it seems they all know what to say—it’s fairly easy for the doctor to get bamboozled.”

Dr. Terry Ptacek

THAT SOUNDS LIKE ME

Did ADHD-like conditions spontaneously appear on Earth within the last few decades? If so, it’s extremely fortunate, both medically and financially, that pharmaceutical companies were able to unveil relevant medications in tandem.

But Aguilar suggested that such conditions have always existed. The difference, she argues, is that people are now better able to identify such conditions. She says there is a “heightened awareness” as opposed to an increase in cases.

“Part of that has been early recognition,” Aguilar said. “You know, being diagnosed earlier.”

In addition to evaluating children earlier, the medical community has also seen an increase in older patients asking about attention deficit disorders and medications such as Adderall.

“I’ve had adults come in and say, ‘I’ve always been like that,’” Aguilar said.

While she works primarily with children, the doctor says that it’s understandable that adults are interested in attention-related disorders and medications. As the concept becomes wider known, people have begun to retroactively self diagnose, wondering if they might benefit from such medicines.

“Certainly, the heightened awareness makes people wonder if they have ADHD,” Aguilar said. “You hear a lot of people talking about it, a lot of people asking about it, and that’s welcome...it is welcome that people are curious.”

Doctors use a list of criteria to determine if a person has an attention deficit disorder before prescribing Adderall. It’s not a hard science, but rather, objective.

Doctors give children drugs to focus.

They’re told it will enable them to study, to concentrate, to better perform in the world they live in. Is it any wonder the kids’ friends want some too?

Over the course of the last few years, this generation of children, who grew up pillfocused with society’s approval, have gone off to college where the tests get harder.

Some students with ADHD continue to take their Adderall. Others—without a disorder or prescription—do as well.

“They might use it before finals,” said Dr. Terry Ptacek, a doctor with Baptist Health Care who is board certified in Addictionology. “They just stay up all night and study.”

While the medication has the same effect as on someone without ADHD, that person is self-medicating without the benefit of a trained medical professional.

According to Aguilar, that’s a bad idea (and illegal).

“There are certain risks, for example,” she said. “All these medications have side effects.”

Some side effects from Adderall include loss of appetite and lack of sleep. A person’s heart rate can elevate. They might get moody.

“There are people who get more whiney and more emotional,” Aguilar explained.

Ptacek, who as a medical student participated as an observer in trials for Ritalin, said he has noticed a trend in people without ADHD taking Adderall over the last few years.

“It’s clearly been the last five years that I’ve seen it in college students,” Ptacek said.

The drug is fairly easy to obtain. Often, a prescription is readily available; if not, perhaps a friend will share.

“Downtown Pensacola is in need of “other” choices.”

Sen. Nelson gets input on spending BP fines.

WHO GETS BP MONEY? Elected officials from eight of Florida’s Panhandle counties met Aug. 31 with U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson on the proposed Senate bill Restore Act 2011, which provides a distribution of any revenues collected from BP from fines levied as a result of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

“It was great for Senator Nelson to take the time to meet with us today and ensure those counties impacted by this tragedy have the resources to restore our communities,” said Escambia County Commissioner Grover Robinson.

As currently proposed, 75 percent of the money sent to Florida would be distributed directly to these eight impacted

“If the kids know what to say—and it seems they all know what to say—it’s fairly easy for the doctor to get bamboozled,” Ptacek said.

While Adderall is produced primarily for children and youth, it is being used more widely. In addition to students giving it a try, the drug also entices pretty much anyone looking for something to jazz their brain up a few gears.

“Not only students, but also housewives,” said Myrna Bobet, a psychiatrist with Psychological Associates in Pensacola.

“They find that they can do more chores, be more productive.”

“Pretty early in the race for King to act so desperate.” —Joe

“Having the signage laws on the books is not enough.”

In addition to Sen. Nelson and Commissioner Robinson, other elected officials in attendance were State Rep. Doug Broxson, Santa Rosa County Commissioner Lane Lynchard, Walton County Commissioner Cecilia Jones, Okaloosa County Commissioner Bill Roberts, Gulf County Commissioner Bill Williams, Destin Mayor Sam Seevers and Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward.

PLETHORA OF CANDIDATES Supervisor of Elections David Stafford has been busy registering new candidates. During the last seven days of August, four candidates pre-filed.

Lumon May, Democrat, and Takia L. Berry, NPA, pre-filed yesterday for Escambia County Commissioner, District 3 for the 2012 General Election. Clorissti B. Mitchell, Democrat, pre-filed for ECUA, District 3, and Pamela Lynn Childers, Republican, pre-filed for Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court.

Who’s next? We keep hearing that Ronnie McNesby wants to run against Sheriff David Morgan. {in} Aguilar said that she has seen instances when prescriptions make their way out of the patient’s hands.

“There have been some cases where diversion has been a problem,” she said, explaining that sometimes another family member will take a child’s medication to either use or sell.

Aguilar said she looks for red flags that will alert her to abuse. She lists two red flags—lost prescriptions and requests for higher dosages—before losing the third in the recesses of her mind.

“I guess I lost my train of thought,” she said.

There’s a pill for that. {in}

WE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

The 10th Anniversary of 9/11 Terrorist Attacks Introduction By Rick Outzen Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001? I was in a sales staff meeting when managing editor Alice Crain Good came rushing into the conference room shouting that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. We huddled around the TV in time to see a second airliner strike the other tower. Then the towers fell.

feature story

We completely scrapped our issue and started over. Joe Scarborough, now of “Morning Joe” fame, had the idea to send the staff out to interview people all over town. Our cover was all black with the words: “ We Will Never Be The Same”.

Joe was right. We have never been the same. For the 10th anniversary of that fateful day, we asked friends to share their memories of 9/11 and what they have learned from it, including Edwin Banacia who was living and working in New York City at the time and has since returned home to Pensacola.

We would like to hear your memories and thoughts on this tragedy, too. Please email them to us at info@inweekly.net, and we will publish them on Rick’s Blog (ricksblog.biz).

New York City Madison Avenue September 11, 2001

WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES OF 9/11? AND WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THE TRAGEDY? >Nancy LaNasa

By Edwin Banacia

I had been in New York for a few years, and the pace of the city was starting to creep into my soul. Long days and even longer nights of the corporate grind were taking their toll on my body both physically and mentally. The summer had been hot.

No one tells you just how sweltering the subway can be in August. Although I felt extremely lucky to have landed my dream job, fresh out of college, day after day of slugging through thousands of commuters on your way to the office can make you feel like just another sheep in the herd. But September marks change in New York City.

The hellish heat of the summer is pushed to just a recent memory in your mind. The air feels crisp, cool and clean.

You can turn off the AC and open a window. By the time you reach early September, you’re ready to propose to the city all over again. With an acquittal from the heat, the bustling metropolis becomes an encore of that picturesque skyline you find in those polished magazines. The energy of that September change was with me on the early morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.

At the office, work had piled up on my desk over the summer months. As the heat index rose, my productivity had obviously fallen. For once, I actually woke up to the first din of my alarm. My window 010 1

was open, and the sunshine and cool air filled my apartment. On my way to the bus stop, I picked up the morning paper and stopped for a cup of coffee. I waited for the first few smaller buses to pass before I jumped on the much larger bus. It was a gloriously beautiful day, and I didn’t want to be crammed in on a tiny bus with the masses of early morning commuters. Despite my routine on this day, I’d still arrive to the office an hour early.

I bounded through the halls at the office with excitement. On rare occasions, I was able to get there before the majority of my thousands of colleagues. All in all, I was just a kid from Pensacola with the good fortune to have opportunity thrust upon him. When I found myself alone in one of the tallest buildings on Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, I felt special. That morning, when I arrived to the 26th floor, I found that I was alone with the exception of an associate named Lauren. She was already settled in

at her desk reading the newspaper with the morning news flickering from the television behind her. I waved, turned on my computer and prepared myself for the day. That’s when Howard Stern told me about a fire at the World Trade Center.

“I don’t mean to interrupt the fun, but this a breaking news story, a serious news story. A plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.

The World Trade Center is on fire,” Stern says in a rare serious tone as it crackles through the radio. I glanced down the hall to the television behind Lauren. Images of the burning fire were alive behind her on the screen. I called down the hall, “Lauren, look out your window. Can you see the World Trade Center? Is it really bad?” Before she could respond, I was already sprinting toward her. Her side of the building faced Downtown. In the not-so-far distance, we could make out the top of the building and the smoke was intense.>>

The shock of it all created missing patches of my memory. Therefore, this is merely the way I remember it to be.

Abhaya Yoga Center Summer in New York City can be heaven, and it can be hell. Bright, breezy and sunny, or hot, humid and stinky. Either way, it’s still an amazing city. Living close by in New Jersey as a kid was exciting, and moving there in 1978 even more so. And those towers?

Mine, both of them. All mine.

A plane hit the WTC you say? What an idiot, must have been drunk. Oh no wait, that’s a big hole! Running up to the roof, staring with mouth wide open with two neighbors, and look, there’s a big plane flying straight at us!

And then, nothing has ever been the same. Nothing. Up on the roof so close by all day, fielding cell phone calls, hugging friends and neighbors, waiting for my husband to get through the downtown blockade to get home.

I even filled the bathtub with water, going into hurricane mode.

Did we really watch them come down? Did we really dust off our neighbors as they came home, covered in ash? Are all those people in all those pictures really missing?

Teaching yoga class three days later to a woman whose husband still hadn’t come home—Did that really happen?

My beautiful friend and amazing yogi Capt. Patrick Brown, FDNY, was heard from before it was over in the north tower: “Come down, the tower is going to collapse!” “What are you kidding me (in that best Queens accent), we got a job to do up here!”

That’s what I learned. We’ve all got a job to do, and that job is taking care of each other, as best we can, or maybe even better than we can.

God Bless Paddy Brown and all the men of the 3 Truck, FDNY.

>Marc Adelman

D.C. editor of SELF magazine I was with my father the morning of 9/11 in my apartment on Capitol Hill. As the morning unfolded, my dad said that the world would be forever different going forward. My dad knew a few things about public moments as the author of Elvis Presley’s eulogy and the writer of Ronald Reagan’s 1987 New Year’s Address to the nation. I didn’t give much thought to it at the time, but he could not have been more right. We now live in a world where anything that goes awry—from power outages to earthquakes or space age sonic booms—brings about the question: “Is this another 9/11?” inweekly.net

A friend of mine is a third grade teacher. She commented that many of her students talk about 9/11 as if they were there. They were not. They were born three years after. 9/11 is so etched in the American DNA, more so than any other tragedy in our history. Its pervasiveness as an event and as a metaphor now personifies what it means to live in the 21st century as an American.

>John Batchelor

“The John Batchelor Show”, WABC, NYC The day after the attack on New York, WABC telephoned me in the afternoon and asked if I could go on air that night at 10 p.m. with my co-host Paul Alexander and to speak to what we knew about the attackers and the threat. We agreed, and I have been on air ever since in New York.

What did I know that day? The Saturday before, Sept. 8, we had done our weekend show and devoted four hours to discussing the attack of the USS Cole in October 2000, and how the culprits had not been brought to justice. We spoke to a U.S. Navy admiral, several terrorist experts, and the mother of one of the sailors killed that day by a suicide boat driven into the side of the warship.

That was the first time I had ever heard the name Al Qaeda used in connection with an organized offensive against the U. S. It was also the first time I had learned the strange details of a Arab man named Osama Bin Laden—how he had been raised a rich man’s son and a playboy, how he had worked with the CIA in Pakistan and Afghanistan during the Cold War. Sixty hours after that show about the Cole and its Al Qaeda attackers, New York and Washington were attacked by the same force.

It is spooky to consider, but there it is, that I had all the fundamental information to tell my audience with some certainty about the scale of the threat when I started my daily show on Sept. 12, 2001.

I learned in later weeks that we were one of the few radio shows on air in NYC those days because so many of the radio and TV stations used transmitters that had been on the WTC, and ours was on the Empire State Building. So night after night, we broadcasted to Ground Zero and the work crews digging out the victims and the ruin. And we told them what we knew, and what we learned, and what we all now know, about Osama Bin Laden and the mass murderers of Afghanistan and Pakistan. ▶ cont’d on page 13 September 8, 2011

>>As I arrived to Lauren’s desk, images of the second plane hitting the second tower followed on the television. Lauren and I initially thought, much like everyone else in the country, this was a replay of the initial crash. That confusion was brief as we could feel and see the second impact from the window. It just so happened we had been distracted by the news at that moment. Lauren and I stood there all alone at perhaps one of the biggest entertainment corporations in the world in utter silence and loneliness as the severity of the moment started to sink into our conscious. The next sequence of events is somewhat a blur. The shock of it all created missing patches of my memory.

Therefore, this is merely the way I remember it to be.

After some time had passed, an announcement came over the inter-office intercom. “This building is being evacuated. There may be a threat in our area and we are being instructed to evacuate this building.” The news had already reported that the tunnels, subways and most forms of public transportation had either been closed or shut down.

Where would I go? I decided that I would stay in the building. I lived in Jersey and there’d be no way to get across the river.

I retreated to my office, closed the door and simply submitted to the universe.

The situation was beyond my control, I rationalized to myself. After an hour, building security found me still bunkered down in my office and forced me to leave the building. As I arrived down to the street, I noticed some colleagues of mine standing around in a circle. I realized that no one knew what to do. With the hundreds of sirens blaring in the distance and the streets void of traffic, I felt like I had been transported to an early Stanley Kubrick film. We all threw ideas out to each other.

With the helplessness of the moment weighing us down, some of the ideas pushed the sanity envelope. “Maybe we should all just go see a movie,” someone even suggested. I thought about finding a hotel room. That’s when we noticed it.

There were throngs of people walking west. “Excuse me ma’am,” as I stopped a passerby. “Where are you all going?”

“Someone told someone that the ferries are running back to Jersey and word got around, so now we’re all walking to the pier,” she explained with a lack of confidence in her eyes. I said goodbye to my colleagues and joined her group.

We all walked in silence. Now as I reflect back, I just don’t think any of us knew what to say to each other. I could feel that we were all happy to be together in our spontaneous group of strangers, however.

In that walk to the pier, you could just feel, even that early into the tragedy, that all the things that divided us no longer mattered. It was us against them–the terrorists. Suddenly, all the things we complained about as New Yorkers–the commute, the price of real estate, The Mets, the MTA fare hikes, unnecessary gentrification, traffic, class warfare and social status–none of it mattered. We were all in this together.

Our throng increased after every block we passed. Bodega owners were passing out bottles of water to people on the street. One lady in our group couldn’t walk any longer in her heels so was forced to walk barefoot. A shop owner we passed noticed and ran us down to give her a pair of socks. Our group of hundreds had turned into a mass of a few thousand. As we approached the West Side Highway, I was shocked to discover a sea of thousands already in a single file line waiting for the few ferries still in service. We had no other alternative. We found the end of the line and settled into a very long wait. An hour turned into three, and we had still barely moved. I found myself standing in front of the USS Intrepid, an outof-commission aircraft carrier now converted into a floating museum, when a long caravan of black SUVs cut through our line. Federal agents were obviously using the ship as an impromptu command center.

A few moments later, I could feel the asphalt vibrate slightly. I looked down the road just in time to see the National Guard heading Downtown, and I can remember thinking to myself, “The military is here now. We’re at war.” Although I had grown up as a Navy brat and was accustomed to seeing men and women in uniform, at the time it was extremely rare to see an actual military presence in New York City. By now, the smell of the disaster had wafted Uptown to us. A stench of burning plastic and chemicals filled the air. From our point of view, looking south to lower Manhattan, it appeared as if all of Downtown was burning. An amber glow permeated the southern horizon. It was well into dusk before I reached a ferry. As we departed the dock, I sat there in a collection of hundreds of strangers all staring into the southern distance in silence and disbelief. Our city was burning.

The situation was beyond my control, I rationalized to myself.

Our throng increased after every block we passed.

I can remember thinking to myself, “The military is here now. We’re at war.”

11

The ferry had never been so quiet. I do remember feeling completely numb physically. I couldn’t feel my legs. I couldn’t feel the hard wood bench beneath me. Quite literally, I couldn’t feel my own breathing.

An overwhelming feeling of absolute loneliness overtook me. I pulled out my phone and tried to call home. I needed to hear my mother’s voice. The lines were jammed. I couldn’t get through. I put the phone back in my pocket; I looked at the floor and just sobbed. For the first time in years, I cried.

I just sat there watching my tears fall down. And then, for a reason I still can’t genuinely explain, I felt serenity. By the time the ferry reached Jersey, word had passed around that there were many road closures, and it’d be quite difficult finding a taxi. I walked home. I made it there just before midnight.

I can’t tell you much about the week that followed. I simply don’t remember it.

It is almost as if that week in my life never happened. The peculiarity of it is that none of my closest friends who experienced that day with me can remember the week after Sept.

11, either. Maybe it was the trauma of it all that caused the memory loss. Or, maybe it’s just that for our generation, that morning will forever be the most impactful moment of our lives so the little events immediately post-9/11 simply didn’t matter enough to remain in our minds. Nevertheless, as a nation and as Americans, we will never forget the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001. On this 10th Anniversary, we should celebrate each other. We should celebrate our nation and mourn for the lives that we lost on that day. We should celebrate our military that have given so much, some of them even having given it all, for us. For me, I’ll find a quiet place and watch the sun disappear behind the horizon and remember. {in}

PENSACOLA REMEMBERS 9/11

On the tenth anniversary of 9/11, friends of Pensacola, Florida are planning a remembrance of the events of this date in history when America that was attacked.

The multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-religious life that has shaped America since its first days as European colonies was not destroyed on 9/11 rather made stronger and more vibrant than ever.

Come celebrate and remember those who have sacrificed their lives for America and all that it stands for, every face, culture, language, and nation, we are all Americans.

There will guest speakers, live music and food. Bring chairs or blankets to sit on and come hang out for a few hours to remember and reflect. Doves will be released at 5 p.m.

PENSACOLA REMEMBERS 9/11 WHEN: 4–7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011 WHERE: 9/11 Memorial located at the foot of Martin Luther King Plaza, intersection of Palafox and Garden St. COST: Free DETAILS: For more information, contact Peter King, Stonehaus Architectural Ceramics, 7255996 or peterkingceramics@gmail.com.

Edward Jones The events of 9/11 served as a wake-up call for the country that we are not necessarily safe inside our borders. There are people, apparently lots of people, that wish to harm us and our way of life.

In addition to the tragic loss of life from the attack and the following wars, the biggest disappointment for me has been the incredible divisiveness in our country and the seemingly nonchalant attitude toward these wars. While the country initially rallied, we have quickly become a nation of red and blue states, conservatives and liberals at a time where our men and women in the military are fighting two-plus wars.

This is a time we should identify as being an American, not a particular political party.

>Harriet Riley

Director at United Ministries in 2001 I will never forget the horror of 9/11 and the realization that terrorists bent on destroying the world were on our American soil. In my journal that day, I wrote, “Every time I see the footage I am appalled and feel so, so sad. Words really can’t describe how I feel.”

A few days later I wrote that it seemed like Americans had been gripped by the trivial the last few years. 9/11 was forcing us to get our bearings again. I felt we needed to find our center. I wrote in my journal, “Many people are turning to their faith–the only solace, I think, in times like these.”

On Sept. 11, 2001, I didn’t really believe the people who said our lives would be forever changed. I thought they were over-reacting. But, indeed, I believe they were right. Sept. 11 changed the way we feel about our freedom forever. We will not–we must not–take it for granted.

The stories of rescues and courage and strength were healing for us as a nation. Each individual on the ground that day in New York Cit y, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C . had a stor y to tell. And their stories are our stories still.

We are stronger as individuals and stronger as a nation because of our shared tragedy and our collective national healing.

emeraldcoastphotography.com Ten years have passed since that epic event in American history, and with that we need to be reminded of how fortunate we are, yet how vulnerable we still are. Our country remains the beacon of hope for the world, and I think the attack by misguided men, knowing they would kill hundreds of innocents, worked against them, and reinforced to our country and all nations that evil acts will never prevail over liberty, justice and freedom.

>Albert Lao

Play It was a Tuesday, and my first stop that morning was supposed to be a record store less than two blocks away from the WTC. I had just been in New York for over a year, and for some reason I woke up late that day. I caught a later bus and will never forget the moment we knew something wasn’t right.

As we realized one of the towers at the WTC was burning, we knew this wasn’t just going to be another regular morning commute into Manhattan.

Some of us were stunned, puzzled, some oblivious, and others were scared. But it’s New York, right? We have to have seen everything by now.

Needless to say, this was nothing we had ever seen before. News spread quickly, and our bus turned around to drop everyone back off. For whatever reason, I never made it to work that day. However, so many others were not as fortunate.

Although the days and weeks after that were hard, the experience taught me to never take anything for granted and showed me the compassion of the human spirit.

New York Nick’s The morning of 9/11 I was in bed and my phone started ringing nonstop. After closing the bar the night before, I didn’t answer immediately, but soon realized something was wrong.

When I answered the next ring, the voice only said, “Turn on your TV.” It was around 11 a.m. and the damage was already done. All day I couldn’t stop watching all the images and reruns of the event. “My City in Ruins” (Bruce Springsteen) was all I could think.

Then my thoughts turned to “WWIII is coming soon”. The world powers will not stand for this, especially the U.S., but our attention turned to healing and moving forward.

New York Nick’s is located at 9-11 Palafox Place. What a coincidence.

Our logo still has the twin towers in it.

Showing Pensacola What New Sounds Like Ripping duct tape and backwards playing boom boxes don’t seem like they’d be key ingredients in an extremely likable album. A file cabinet being thrown across the room even makes an appearance. Anyone planning on attending Okkervil River’s upcoming show at Vinyl Music Hall might want to bring a helmet should the band try to recreate the many sounds from their new album.

“I think that you can get something far more interesting with different sounds, new sounds,” front man Will Sheff said. “I wanted to make a record that had a sort of headphone quality to it, and I wanted every song to sound special and interesting.”

Sheff wrote and produced the band’s latest album, “I am Very Far”, while living in Plainfield, N.H. with his grandparents.

“Every place affects you in some little way,” Sheff said. “Part of this record was about early memories and the strangeness of them, and the perceptions you have as a kid, when things are vague and mysterious.”

The move from Brooklyn and Austin, the recording spots for the band’s previous albums, to New Hampshire, is fitting for the theme of early childhood perceptions; Sheff grew up there.

“I think that maybe I’m just getting some of that early stuff out of my system, not that this is a purging or a confessional album, but sometimes things roam around in your head and you just need to vomit it all out,” Sheff said, adding with a laugh, “That was a weird, vaguely disgusting metaphor.”

Aside from infiltrating the album with remembered youthful ideas and bombarding the recording studio with office equip-

ment, Okkervil River also incorporated a plethora of additional musicians for some tricky live recordings.

“We had seven guitarists at the same time, two drums kits, several pianists—I wanted the wild, out-of-control feeling of having all these people together, like the thrill of seeing a marching band,” Sheff said. “You can hear the sounds of a bunch of people working very hard together.

Sheff and the extended band spent over 12 hours to get one song right, just playing it all together, over and over. “It sounded best when no one person was playing too uniquely, but just everyone trying to play all together,” Sheff said.

The band committed to recording the larger group for the record, but their live show will consist of only the original band.

And maybe a duct tape ripper, if we’re lucky.

The band has recorded six albums, five EP’s and several split records with other artists. They’ve appeared on “The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon”, “Conan O’Brien” and “Late Show with David Letterman” twice. However, their newest album marks a first for the band, as it is the first album they have produced themselves.

“We’ve spent years and years working with a producer, and I think I’ve spent more time arguing with them than anything,” Sheff said.

Sheff recently produced Roky Erickson’s album “True Love Cast Out All Evil” and was nominated for a Grammy for his writing and production efforts.

Although Sheff didn’t win the Grammy, his work was recog-

nized nonetheless. The New York Times even wrote in a review of the latest Okkervil album, “Will Sheff writes like a novelist”, and although shrouded in slight vagueness, should be taken as a compliment.

The comparison to a novelist isn’t so far fetched, at least superficially, seeing as the band’s name is borrowed from a short story of the same name

by Russian novelist Tatyana Tolstaya.

“The story’s about an aging bachelor, a music collector who’s obsessed with a singer he thinks is dead,” Sheff said.

The bachelor comes to find out that the singer is alive and goes to visit her. He finds her surrounded by fans just like him and realizes that she’s nothing like the music he loves so much.

“There’s sort of a sadness to it,” Sheff said. “Art is beautiful, but it mocks you—it’s not like real life, which is often boring.”

Unless you bypass the mundane and try to make music out of things that aren’t music until you can no longer tell the difference, or want to. {in}

Who Brew?

As nice as a wine tasting is, with the fancy cheeses and the knowledgeable, yet condescending sommelier, sometimes all you want is an ice cold brewski.

And that is why the Escambia Bay Homebrewers started the Emerald Coast Beer Festival, to teach the public about the fine alcoholic beverage that sometimes goes unappreciated.

“Too many people are still living as though beer is a single beverage and you either like it or you don't,” said Pat Johnson, president of Escambia Bay Homebrewers, in an e-mail interview. “We beer enthusiasts view beer differently. We think of it like we do food. You may have a favorite food, but you wouldn't eat it at every meal and every day.

We want to expose everyone to the fact that all beers are not created equal, and that it's by design not accident.”

The Emerald Coast Beer Festival will begin Thursday, Sept. 8 with a beer pairing dinner in Apple Annie’s at Seville Quarter starting at 7 p.m. The cost is $55, and only 80 tickets are available. The beer for the dinner will be provided by Rogue of Newport, Ore. Just like a wine dinner, different beers are paired with each course.

“It’s one more example of how good, varied and complex today's beers are,” Johnson said. “Different beers are better with certain foods, when it's colder or hotter outside, when you just finished mowing the yard, when you are watching football or when you just feel like a change.”

The real party is Friday, Sept. 9 starting at 5:15 p.m. for VIP ticket holders and ending at 8 p.m. The beer tasting takes over all of Seville Quarter and includes live bands and food. Advance tickets from a homebrewer member or by mail are $20 and advance tickets from a ticket outlet such as Pensacola Bay

Brewery or Seville Quarter are $25. On the day of the event tickets are $30, and VIP tickets are $50.

The beers featured at the event will come from all over the United States from as far away as New York.

There will also be 11 homebrew clubs from around the Southeast. The festival is a great way to show people that homebrew isn’t just moonshine from an old jelly jar. You might even find a homebrew that you love.

“Many folks think of homebrewers as inferior or lower-quality beers, but I like to remind them that nearly every craft beer in the world began as a homebrew,” Johnson said. “A good example is the Pensacola Bay Brewery, which was opened last year by two members of the Escambia Bay Homebrewers. These home-brewed beers may be the next “best beer” in the market and are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so definitely make it a point to try them while at the festival. It's kind of like seeing the Beatles before they became famous.”

For those steeling themselves for the festival, remember to go into the festival with a plan. Johnson suggests starting with a light or lower alcohol beer and working your way to the darker hues. And it’s quality, not quantity, although there are designated driver services available.

“Don't just start holding your glass out to every tap down the line, or your palate will be fried before you get to the third or fourth booth,” Johnson said. “The idea is to

Dodge. Duck. Dip. Dive. Dodge!

Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

These are the “Five D’s of Dodgeball”.

Remember them, because they may come in handy sooner than you think.

Anyone who has seen the 2004 film “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” knows that the Five D’s are the most important and basic keys to dodgeball victory. Why am I telling you this? Well, it is because dodgeball is no longer just an obscure late-night programming move on ESPN 8—“The Ocho”. In fact, you too can be part of the action this fall when the Pensacola Blue Wahoos introduce their Adult Dodgeball League to our fair city.

“Here’s how it works,” says organizer and player Caitlin Schaffstall. “Registration is $250 per team. A team can have a minimum of six players and a maximum of 10, with players being able to switch out and give each other a rest. Only six players at a time may be on the court in play. We have a limit of 30 teams, and we (the Blue Wahoos organization) will provide different colored t-shirts with their team’s name on them.”

The dodge ball league, which will hold its tournament-style matches on Davis Highway at the Pensacola Pelicans Training Academy beginning Oct. 4, is not only a way for thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies to test themselves in a high energy sport, but also a way for some of us cereal binging lay-abouts to get interested in becoming more active and getting into a good exercise regimen. Besides, exercise is always a lot more fun when you’re having a good time and occasionally get to whip a red rubber ball at another person’s torso. “We really think this league

While sponsors are in the works for the league itself, teams are also advised that it is possible to secure sponsors to cover the $250 registration fee. However, the shirts provided will only have the team’s name on them, so if you’re cool with playing as the “Publix Bagboys” or the “Independent News Flash”, you can do it that way, but it might be cooler to just have your players pitch in and choose the gnarliest name you can think of to intimidate and dominate your opponents. Games start on Oct. 4 and run until Nov. 8, with a play-off to determine the champion from Nov. 10-29. There is still time to register, so hop to! {in}

Exercise is always a lot more fun when you’re having a good time and occasionally get to whip a red rubber ball at another person’s torso. will be a good thing for the community to get involved in and promote a healthier lifestyle,” Schaffstall adds. “It’s also going to be a whole lot of fun!”

Fun indeed. As mentioned before, the Fox Pictures film, starring Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn, brought the real life competitive sport of dodgeball out of middle school gym class and into the public eye. The teams that played in the movie were a tad over

the top, but the physicality of the sport is represented well, actually. Dodgeball is a very fast paced and high-energy sport, so don’t think that you can just hop up off the couch after a Maury Povich marathon and dominate the game.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that only athletes at peek physical condition can play, but once a team is organized and registered, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get in some practice around games to stay sharp, because not only do you need to have good cardio and stamina, but the mind must also be a weapon. Reflexes are a dodgeball player’s best friend, as you must think fast and be aware of everything around you if you want to taste sweet victory.

The City of Gulf Breeze is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Six individuals were honored for their significant contributions to the City since the 25th anniversary was celebrated in 1986. These are just a few of the people that have been responsible for making Gulf Breeze such a special place over the past quarter of a century.

DR. BERT JORDAN Dr. Jordan moved to Gulf Breeze from Huntsville, Ala. in 1969. He was elected to the Gulf Breeze City Council in 1972 and later that same year became the city’s seventh mayor. It was Dr. Jordan who convinced Baptist Hospital to expand to Gulf Breeze. He’s considered the “father of Gulf Breeze Hospital”.

RICHARD FULFORD

Dick Fulford was the hospital’s first administrator. Under his leadership, Gulf Breeze Hospital achieved top national honors year after year for customer care and service. He served on the Gulf Breeze City Council from 1977-1980 and again from 2007-2010.

LANE GILCHRIST

Lane Gilchrist was honored posthumously for his 27 years on the city council. Seventeen of those years were as the mayor of Gulf Breeze. He led the effort to make the city’s wastewater system, South Santa Rosa Utilities, the first in the two-county area to recycle 100 percent of its effluent.

ED GRAY, III

Ed Gray III was the youngest mayor in the city’s history and now director of the city’s bond sponsorship and financing agencies. It’s those bond financing efforts that contribute about $800,000 to the city’s budget, ensuring that the property tax rates stay low. While mayor, Gray spearheaded the effort to build the city’s recreation center.

MATT DANNHEISSER

Matt Dannheisser has been the City Attorney since 1990. He has advised and assisted the Mayor, City Council, various City Boards, groups and City staff far beyond the standard expectations for a City Attorney. His considerable contributions have added to the quality of life of the community.

EDWIN EDDY

Buzz Eddy has served as the City Manager since 1992. He has been the lynchpin that has held the city together through hurricanes, recessions and an oil spill. He has set a standard for service that is unrivaled.

news of the weird Richard Handl, 31, was arrested in southern Sweden in July after a raid on his home. He had been trying for months to set up a nuclear reactor in his kitchen, but became alarmed when a brew of americium, tritium and beryllium created a nuclear meltdown on his stove. Only then, he said, did it occur to him to ask the country’s Radiation Authority if what he was doing was legal, and the subsequent police raid answered that question. No dangerous radiation level was detected, but Handl still faces fines and a maximum two-year prison sentence for unauthorized possession of nuclear materials.

Leading Economic Indicators Augustin James Evangelista is only 4 years old, but he nevertheless has certain financial needs—which amount to about $46,000 a month, according to the child-support request filed by his mother, “supermodel” Linda Evangelista. A Wall Street Journal reporter concluded that the figure is about right for rich kids in New York City, what with needing a driver, designer clothes, around-the-clock nannies and various personalized lessons. And soon, according to a consultant-to-the-rich interviewed in August by the Journal, Augustin James will become even more expensive, as he graduates from his exclusive preschool and enters his exclusive kindergarten.

No, Thanks! (1) Colorado inmate Daniel Self filed a federal lawsuit in July against the Sterling Correctional Facility because prison personnel saved his life. They revived him after he had stopped breathing from an attack of sleep apnea, but he contends he had previously demanded to officials that he never be resuscitated, preferring to die rather serve out his life sentence. (2) Terry Barth complained to hospital officials that he was “kidnapped” by paramedics and thus cannot be liable for the $40,000 he has been billed by Enloe Medical Center in Chico, Calif., where he was brought by ambulance following a motorcycle crash in August 2010. Barth said he had insisted at the scene that paramedics not take him to a hospital because he had no medical insurance. (Paramedics are legally required to take anyone with a serious head injury.)

Medical Marvels The first published instance of a woman’s nipple appearing on the sole of her foot was noted in a 2006 report in the journal Dermatology and reprised in a series of U.S. and British press reports in July 2011. The reporting physicians, led by Dr. Delio Marques Conde, acknowledged that out-of-place breast

by Chuck Shepherd

tissue, while extremely rare, has shown up before on the back, shoulder, face and thigh. The foot nipple was “well-formed,” with areola and sebaceous glands.

• British college student Rhiannon Brooksbank-Jones, 19, recently had her tongue surgically lengthened just so she could better pronounce the Korean letter “L.” London’s Daily Mail reported in August that the student had become fascinated with Korean culture and intends to live and work in South Korea eventually—and would need to speak like a native to succeed. She is now satisfied that she does.

Our Animal Sidekicks Ruth Adams called on Northampton College in central England to measure the purring sound of her grayand-white tabby cat, Smokey, aiming for a Guinness World Record. The result, she told The Associated Press in March, was 73 decibels, many multiples louder than the average cat’s purr and about as noisy, according to the AP, as “busy traffic, a hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner.” (According to cat-ologists, Smokey’s purring could reflect either extreme happiness or extreme stress.)

Pervs on Parade At a medical board hearing in Manchester, England, in August, anesthesia consultant Dr. Narendra Sharma was accused of placing the hand of a sedated female patient underneath the operating table so that he could fondle his own private parts using a “stranger’s” touch. Two medical workers claimed to have seen him, one of whom said she saw Sharma “exposed.” Sharma explained later that his pants had inadvertently fallen down during one procedure because a previous patient had kicked loose the tape holding them up.

Least Competent People (1) Police in Roseville, Mich., arrested a 24-year-old roofer in August and charged him with reckless driving after he hit four cars. He had noticed that his brakes had failed but unadvisedly tried to drive on, anyway, by extending his left leg out the driver’s side door and braking “manually” (yes, as in “The Flintstones”). According to police, the man was completely sober. (2) In Durango, Colo., Sean Ogden, 19, was seriously burned in July when he tried to break down fireworks he had purchased in order to build even bigger ones. He was mixing them in a coffee-bean grinder.

Naval Aviation Museum

Global Grill Because Jane Taylor is adorable and Greg can talk books and surfing at the same time, all while remembering what wine everyone likes. I am particularly partial to the Baby Brussels Sprouts…it may be covered in gouda cheese and bacon, but hey, Mom always wanted me to eat them, and now I do… all the time.

Atlas Oyster Bar Cody is the coolest bartender in Pensacola. And I love the rim tuna. I take my family and out-of-town guests to The Fish House, but I hang with my friends at Atlas.

Retail Therapy:

A and J Mugs Little known secret: They have great jewelry and all sorts of interesting things…including these way cool 50s style aprons! I always stop in and see what is new.

Just Plain Putter I get a lot of things framed, and no one is better, more creative and more fun than John Bell. Most of the time I just drop in to see what he is framing for everyone else

Outdoors:

Historic Pensacola Village Sometimes we forget that Pensacola played a huge role in American history, and one of the most important battles of the American Revolution was fought downtown. I like to run downtown from Plaza Ferdinand stopping at the Officers Barracks and passing the Julee Cottage to Old Christ Church on Seville Square. The Queen’s Redoubt, which exploded and caused the British to surrender the colony to Galvez, is up Palafox near Cervantes, and there are markers worth reading up there, too.

Arts & Culture:

T.T. Wentworth Museum It is free, and they have a petrified cat. So…it is worth it, if only to see the petrified cat.

Naval Aviation Museum I have been going there on weekends since I was in high school.

My favorite plane is the F6F-5 Hellcat, mainly because the Navy’s greatest ace David McCampbell flew one. (When I was a kid, I ran to it every time thinking it was his Hellcat, but I guess it was just painted as such.) I think because this plane was so much better than the Zero and because of our Navy, we won the Pacific. Ever since I was a kid, I have run to that plane and been thrilled and proud of our naval aviators. I still feel that way when I go in there now.

Never Miss Events:

In Hot Pursuit 5K Oct. 15, Pensacola Beach. I love running on Pensacola Beach, and nothing is more fun than running a 5K on the beach, especially when it is cool and October crisp.

This race has more door prizes than any other race, one-of-a-kind trophies by Ben Bogan and the coolest t-shirts in the world. It’s great to kick back at the Sandshaker afterward, too.

This year, the run will take place in the middle of DeLuna Fest, so I plan to make a day—and night—of it. {in}

First Wednesday of Every Month

New York Nick’s I have to put this first because Nick’s is my second home, and if I don’t put it first, Nick Zangari will disown me and I would be some kind of homeless. The chargrilled wings are my favorite meal in town (get them BBQ) and everything on the menu is better with stoney sauce (ask for it.) The music is very cool, the owner even cooler and no matter what game you want to watch, you can see it there.

Five Sisters Blues Café That is just a beautiful building, and everything is always happy there.

Any place with collard greens is a good place, but with the great food and great service, this is the best. We especially like to go after church on Sundays for some soul food and soul jazz.

King’s Bar-B-Q The best BBQ in town! The pork sandwiches have just the right amount of kick, and King Rivers always treats his customers right.
