The Florida Bat Festival

"Yes, Father. I Shall Become A Bat” -Batman, Year One

The Florida Bat Festival has the unique and amazing power to always elicit the exact same response from Floridians when they first learn of it: "We have a what festival?" Of course, as the bat is the collective spirit animal of goths the world over, we know. Many of us make the pilgrimage each year to the wilds outside Gainesville and brave the heat and sun to pay respects to our fellow creatures of the night. The Lubee Bat Conservancy, where the fest is held, has a proper cauldron of bats (a group of bats is called a cauldron), so bat lovers will not be disappointed.

Unlike the standard Saturday tours at Lubee which are quite expensive, entry to the Bat Fest is a paltry $8 for adults and $5 for children. If you wish to partake in the beer garden, its $28. This small fee allows you to walk through the bat grotto as often as you like, where Lubee's huge bat houses are clustered and you get to see dozens of giant fruit bats from all around the world. These angels of the night are truly magnificent, even when sleeping. Every so often one will spread it's wings and yawn or perhaps scratch an itch, and the performance is goth af. Unlike during the pricey Saturday tours, people are not allowed inside the cages, but you still get a good view of all the bats from walking down the center aisle of the grotto. The double mesh of the cages plus the dense crowd makes photography challenging, so bring plenty of patience and practice suppressing murderous rages. Best viewing is from 10 am to about noon - huge quantiles of food are hung in the cages to encourage the bats to a feeding frenzy, but after they've binged, the combination of mid-day heat and food-coma puts them into full sleep mode.

After viewing the bats, which is understandably everyone's first stop, you can turn your attention to the fest part of Bat Fest. This is a pretty standard collection of vendor tents, food trucks, and a beer garden. The beer garden also features live music, and while I've never seen a darkwave or post punk band playing, sometimes there's a Celtic band, and that's about as good as the music will get since the attendance is overwhelmingly normals who prefer elevator music. The food trucks are good some years and not-so-good others, so I usually bring a pocket snack in case I can't find something I like. As with the food trucks, the vender tents vary year to year and range from "Why the hell is this here?" to "Shut up and take my money!"

If you're into bat merchandise, you and your money will soon part company. Bat shirts, bat bags, bat plushies, bat art, bat this & bat that will fight a full cage match to win the hearts & minds of your dollar bills. Oh, and always bring paper money. Lubee is far enough outside Gainesville that service is iffy and some venders can't make enough of an internet connection to take your card while others have better connections and cards work just fine. It never fails, however, that the fuzzy neon pink, yellow and orange bat throw pillow you simply must have can only be bought from the frazzled merchant who can't get connection, so you'd better have cash.

You'll also find plenty of lectures and general info on bats, both local and exotic, so come prepared to learn everything you ever wanted to know about bats, but were afraid to ask.

As Beetlejuice would say, "And bring the little 'pards, too!" Your darklings will find all manor of standard fest amusements such as face painting, photo stands, and a myriad of bat toys to make them pledge, "Please mom, just buy me this one thing and I'll never ask for anything else ever again - I promise!"

But my fav part of the Florida Bat Fest (after the bats, of course) has to be the fashion wars. Much as everyone breaks out their best hats at the Kentucky Derby, everyone busts out their best bat clothing for Bat Fest.

The amount and variation of bat themed dresses, shirts, and accessories is quite dazzling and never fails to bring a creepy smile to this elder goth's face.

Wondering if you should wear that bat backpack you got off of Etsy a few years ago? Is this the proper forum to don that bat themed hat? Should you dig out that bat winged purse and show it off? Yes, yes, and oh hell yes.

When the Bat Fest finally shuts down at 5 pm, don't think your day with the bats is over just yet. Now you'll need to make your way to the highlight of the day - the University of Florida Bat Houses about a half-hour south in the heart of Gainesville. Sunset this time of year is usually around 6:50 pm, so you even have time to grab a quick dinner if you'd like but be aware there is limited parking around the UF Bat houses, so err on the side of arriving early. Watching 500,000 bats departing their lairs for deeds best done in darkness is a sight one does not soon forget...

Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child is a local pumpkin patch event held during the month of October at Gainesville Church of God, 7003 NW 39th Ave. Gainesville, FL 32606. All purchases and donations made at this event go toward feeding children and families in need. Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child gives 100 percent of their proceeds to the Salvation Army, Food4Kids Backpack Program of North Florida and Guatemala Feeding Centers.

This event’s mission is to provide food, education and health to individuals in need. Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child helps to provide these services to local and Guatemalan communities. Throughout the past five years, Gainesville Church of God, alongside Flames of Fire Ministries, has built seven feeding centers in Guatemala. Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child allows these centers to continually feed, clothe and educate more than 500 children in Guatemala.

In addition to its great cause, Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child is an event where children, families and students can gather during the fall season. The pumpkin patch includes a wide selection of pumpkins in varying colors, shapes and sizes. Children can enjoy a bounce house, corn bin, tractor train and a children’s picking patch. There are multiple photo stations scattered throughout the patch that are perfect for capturing memories. Lastly, once guests have enjoyed the many festivities in the patch, they can purchase some freshly made pumpkin bread that is sold at checkout. With its powerful mission and joyful atmosphere, Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child is an outstanding fall event for people of all ages.

Pictured above is the the pumpkin patch from the entrance of the event. A hand-painted directory greets guests as they enter the patch. 

Maegan Chant, a 21-year-old student at the University of Florida, enjoys the wide selection of pumpkins in the patch. Pumpkins are displayed on wooden pallets throughout the patch. 

The pumpkins in the patch vary in size, shape, color and texture. The price of each pumpkin is determined by its circumference.

Pictured above is the Youngn’s Pick’n Patch, where children can pick their own pumpkin. Children enter through a miniature entry way, and choose from a selection of petite pumpkins. 

The patch offers two bounce houses for children to play in while at the pumpkin patch. Children must take their shoes off before entering the bounce houses, and parents must supervise their children.

Pictured above is the tractor train that takes children and adults on rides around the patch.

All purchases and donations made at Buy a Pumpkin, Feed a Child go toward feeding children and families in need. Guest are thanked by this hand-painted sign as they exit the patch.

Spring Cleaning Tips for Northeast Florida Residents

Let’s start our Spring Cleaning in Clearwater FL by preparing your long-handled duster, cleaning cloth, garbage bag, vacuum cleaner, and other cleaning materials. This will be a big job best handled by ServiceMaster by PWF's cleaning professionals.

ServiceMaster by PWF offers upholstery cleaning in Clearwater FL, carpet cleaning service in Clearwater FL and tile and grout cleaning company in Clearwater. 

With our commitment to providing high-quality service and achieving complete customer satisfaction, we’ll do whatever it takes to go above and beyond your expectations. We combine green cleaning solutions with innovative technology to get your home or your business the results you need. You can rely on our professional upholstery, carpet, tile and grout cleaning in Clearwater, FL  to deal with your worn-out or stained furniture, carpets, and tiles and make them look new!

So here are some spring cleaning tips for Northeast Florida residents.

1. Clean the windows

Let the light in this spring by giving your windows an extensive clean to get rid of the layers of accumulated muck and dust and feel the benefits of a lighter, brighter room immediately.

2. Clean and polish wooden floors

What's better than a well-cleaned and polished floor? This would make your home look newer and fresher. In addition, you can also have your home wood floors waxed  once a year.

3. Dust the house

Give your home gleaming surfaces by running over hard surfaces with a damp cloth. Intricate objects, such as beaded lampshades and ornaments, can be dusted with a clean paintbrush. Vacuum fabric such as sofas and curtains.

4. Clean the sofa

Your sofa might already have accumulated dirt and grime through the years, as well as stains from food or beverage spills. Check the kind of upholstery you have before washing it to prevent incurring damages. A professional can help you with deep upholstery cleaning, and the experts know how to do it the right way.

5. Clean the rugs

Cleaning rugs can be as simple as beating the dirt out. Leave them to air on the washing line for a few hours to get rid of odors, or sprinkle with bicarbonate of soda and leave overnight before vacuuming.

6. Clean the grout

Give stained moldy grout a spring clean to get your bathroom and kitchen spic and span and more hygienic. You might be tempted to do the cleaning on your own, but you might make the problem worse. Call in the professionals for proper cleaning as well as tips and advice.

7. Declutter

There’s no point in having a sparkling clean house if every surface is covered in clutter, so while you are tidying take the opportunity to have a clear-out and donate items you no longer need to charity shops and family members, and anything valuable can be sold on eBay.

8. Clean the mattress

Make good use of the abundant sunshine by airing your mattress outside, a procedure which could also dry out dust mites that might be lurking in it. If leaving the mattress in the garden isn’t an option then open the window and leave the bed unmade during the day so the mattress can air.

9. Retouch chipped paint

Retouch chipped, flaked, or stained paint while you have the time. Painting is a cheap investment that can make your house look newer. If you don’t have any paint left but don’t fancy repainting the whole room, taster pots of the paint you originally used might still be available in DIY stores.

At ServiceMaster by PWF, we only employ fully trained cleaners and IICRC certified technicians to ensure a deep all over clean to the highest standards. There is a number of factors that explain why this service is so popular with customers:

A team manager who will supervise the clean on the day and liaise with you throughout the job

Experienced cleaners with equipment and products to ensure a deep clean

Our services are insured to give you peace of mind that your home and belongings are in safe hands

It may be commercial, industrial, or residential, small or big work. You name it, we can do the job easier, faster, cost-effective and safer with the help of our most innovative tools and well-trained staff. Be assured that we will recommend only what is needed and best to save you time for a healthier home and family.

I just want 2 say something. There's a lot of businesses that have been n full operation 4 years. They've been up n running generation after generations. The reason 4 that is because loyal customers have been coming 2 them purchasing n using their services for years. Some of u who r grown now may even remember when u was small and your parents used 2 take u in2 different places that are still there 2day. It brings back memories sometimes when you haven't been there n years but u happen 2 stop in there for something years later. I said that to say this... Companies if u want ur companies 2 continue 2 stay afloat 4 years 2 come u got 2 take better care of the satisfaction of ur customers. There's a laundry mat that i know have been n operation 4 over 30 some years. Walk n there 2day the washers r flooding the floor. Half of the dryers taking ur money n it won't even get warm 2 dry ur clothes. It's money down the drain 4 those who have put their money n the machines n finding out later it's not functioning properly. Each time customers have went n there, the same machines r functioning the same way. The complaints about the machines 2 management is going n 1 ear n out the other. The machines look like they haven't been upgraded since the last u remember nor have they been serviced. I know if you running a company that been open for years n it b packed, u've made a lot of money from customers over the years. Y not invest some of that money u've made from customers n reinvest n ur businesses. Have ur machines serviced often. Upgrade your machines, remodel the building if need be, let's see some new paint sometimes. We are the ones keeping ur companies going which means we're putting food on your families table. But in return all we getting is Fuck U.. That's what it means when we're continuing 2 put money into businesses' equipments and services that are continuing 2 run down ( broken, out dated, not working) each time we go in2 them n have made complaints but nothing is being done 2 improve the build up issues. The laundry mat was just 1 example but there's plenty other places operating the same way. #businesses #customers #dissatisfied #loyalty #upgrade #update (at Gainesville, Florida)

Improving Lives with The Arc of the Nature Coast

In 1973, a small group of Hernando County residents sought a better way to care for the Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled citizens of the area. Many of these families had children or relatives who had been labelled “retarded” and were living in dark institutions away from their loved ones. These families created a local chapter of The Arc, a national organization that advocates for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to receive the same basic legal, civil, and human rights as other citizens. “Most of our first clients were previously kept in institutions, given basic medical care and a roof over their heads, but little more,” Mark W. Barry, Executive Director, tells me on a recent tour of their Neff Lake Campus. Mark graduated from Saint Leo University and worked for The Arc of Pasco County for 18 years before coming to The Arc Nature Coast. Now the two organizations are merging to better serve the population. “I went to an institution in 1980 and the population was on feeding tubes in stainless steel beds. I was convicted,” he shared with me. “There has been a silent civil rights movement for this population.”

Institutional life was pretty much all that was available for Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled citizens in early Florida. Image from of The Florida Farm Colony courtesy of Florida Memory. The Florida Farm Colony began in 1915 with the establishment of a legislative commission to study the needs of persons who were "feeble-minded" and epileptic. This resulted in November 1921 with the opening of the Florida Farm Colony for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic in Gainesville, Florida on a 3000-acre tract. This was the first state-funded program for residents with developmental challenges. It began with three buildings and 240 residents. What is Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled We are walking through a very old building that was once a chicken coop. Inside this 501c(3) nonprofit organization, clients are enjoying painting, drawing, making puzzles, reading the news, and learning how to be safe around lightning.

Nicole Tyrell teaches The Arc Nature Coast clients important life skills. While their outer features may not be the ones we admire in magazines, their joyful spirits create an energy of happiness throughout the renovated class, rest, and resource rooms. Caring for Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled people is quite different from mental health care, but the two are commonly confused. (A strong NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) chapter in Hernando County works to provide help to those with psychiatric disorders.) “Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled people tend to be steady and stable,” Mark explains, “They have intellectual instead of psychiatric challenges.”

Mark Graves, an expert equestrian and artists, works at Publix. Today, he is painting flowers at The Arc of the Nature Coast Neff Lake Campus. The Arc’s Neff Lake Campus is Beautiful... and Aged The Neff Lake campus of The Arc Nature Coast is approximately 30-acres of heavily wooded, rolling countryside. It is a beautiful, peaceful place with paths, a playground, and plenty of history. “The owner of the property, a chicken farm from the 1950s, gave the entirety to The Arc of the Nature Coast nearly 50 years ago for the purpose of providing a stable location for local citizens with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to come for day care,” Nancy Stubbs, Development Director of the organization explains. “We want to provide a quality of life for our clients that allows them to contribute to society and feel valued, moving toward independence, as well as take care of their physical needs.”

The Arc of the Nature Coast's current Learning & Enrichment Center. Nancy continues, “These buildings were renovated by prison laborers in the 1970s.” It is obvious that the former chicken coop and farm buildings are reaching the end of their useful life, and she explains that there is a fundraising campaign underway to redesign this amazing piece of property to meet the area’s growing need for The Arc’s services. A dedicated team works tirelessly to improve life for their clients, which include over 200 daycare and full-time residents in more than 12 locations throughout Pasco and Hernando Counties. It is headed up by Mark, who is one of only two Executive Directors of the organization since its inception and has been with The Arc for 39 years.

Mark Barry, Executive Director, and Nancy Stubbs, Development Director at The Arc of the Nature Coast's Neff Lake Campus. Nancy has a brother, Gary, who is a client of the program. “Gary is the nicest, happiest person I know,” Nancy shares with me, “He enriches my life, as do all of our clients.” Modern Buildings Ease Client Care In 2014, new group residential homes were added to the Neff Lake Campus. These 100% accessible buildings provide a much-improved environment for The Arc’s residential clients. A portico is part of the design, providing shelter for wheelchairs exiting vehicles during rainstorms. There are no steps. The wide-open floor plan provides a communal living, dining and kitchen area where caregivers can interact with residents and counters are set at wheelchair height, allowing residents to help in the kitchen.

Modern residential homes make care management better for residents and their caregivers. Each modern residential home has six individual bedrooms, a laundry room, a nursing/supervisor station and a guest room (in case someone needs to stay at the last-minute), besides modern restrooms with roll-in showers and many accessibility features that ease the strain of care.

Nikki Kostjukoff is a Home Manager for The Arc. She is seen here talking with Nancy in one of the group residential homes. “These features may not look like a big deal to most people, but when a resident needs help with bathing and toileting, these features make their lives better and their caregiver’s job much more manageable,” Mark explains, showing me the features of these custom designed homes by Palmwood Builders. Our Roots are Strong, and our Future is Bright.. “We are seeking funds to put five more of these homes on our campus, as well as a new Life Enrichment Center,” Mark shares with me. There is a beautiful mural on the side of the current building, but the building itself is showing its age.

The Giving Tree is part of The Arc's current Capital Campaign. The Arc Nature Coast started a Capital Campaign to build an Enrichment and Training Center to replace the old farm buildings and renovated chicken coop. There is a long-term goal to renovate the entire property, which can be found here. Serving all Levels of Need - for Life At The Arc, each of their clients is served for life. “We take clients from age 21, and we will continue to care for them throughout their entire life. One of our challenges is when a client outlives his or her family. Disabilities run in families of all income brackets and socio-economic groups,” Nancy explains.

Some clients have been with The Arc for 40+ years. Each client has an individual plan which is evaluated and revised regularly. The need is great. Some clients have been with The Arc for 40+ years. Each client has an individual plan which is evaluated and revised regularly. The need is great. “Florida has a huge backlog of Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled citizens in need of care. There was 24,000 on the backlist last time I looked,” Nancy continues. “Funding is our greatest challenge,” Mark agrees, “whether from the legislature, private donors, or grants.” Life Enrichment for Arc Clients looks like FUN

In August of 2019, they were treated to a “Gone with the Wind” Prom 2019 and it was wonderful. As you may guess, most of the clients at The Arc Nature Coast did not attend a Senior Prom.  In July, they were treated to “Gone with the Wind” Prom 2019 and it was wonderful! Cosmetology students from Bene’s Career Academy came out and gave the girls hairstyle up-dos and makeup, as well as manicures.

Cosmetology students from Bene’s Career Academy came out and gave the girls' hairstyle up-dos and makeup, as well as manicures. Limousine transportation was provided by Spring Hill Limo and the prom guests were dressed up with their dancing shoes on. PJ the DJ Services spun the tunes and the Spring Hill Enrichment Center was turned into an event venue for all.

Limousine transportation was provided by Spring Hill Limo and the prom guests were dressed up with their dancing shoes on. It took a village, but the memories made for these Nature Coasters makes it all worthwhile. The Arc Nature Coast hosts five dances per year. They are open to the public and held at the Education Center in Spring Hill.   The cost is $5.00 per person. All dances are from 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM. Three are left in the 2019 schedule, including Summer Sizzler Dance August 23, Halloween Costume Dance October 25, and the Christmas Dance-with Santa December 20. The Arc Clients Love to Give Back The goal of The Arc is to help their clients achieve independence through comprehensive services, including personal and social skills development. They are also supported in their household management, budgeting, and community interaction skills.   On Wednesdays and Thursdays, Arc clients go out on community outings and volunteer. In fact, Arc clients have volunteered over 2,500 hours in the community.

Those clients who are able like to work. Publix is one of the local employers who utilizes The Arc clients. Those who are able, like to work. Small groups of 5-10 workers go out to six different locations on a daily basis. We enjoy an excellent working relationship with local business in our area (including Publix, Wal-Mart, Accuform, Micro-Matic, Alumi-Guard, Carrabba's and more) while their clients enjoy their jobs. You can Help Financially, there is a huge need. The annual operating budget is $3.3 million. Then there’s the Capital Campaign. The Life Skills Center is really needed, as the 1950s buildings are pretty worn out.

I learned a lot during my tour of The Arc Nature Coast and even received a beautifully colored card from one of their clients. Call and take a tour. Meet the clients, teachers, nurses and staff that make this place so very special. Maybe attend a dance. You are sure to be glad you did. When you see funding bills for these types of organizations, take a minute to contact your legislators and tell them that you support these services and hope they will. How else are we going to take care of the need? If you want to donate today, click here. And make sure you look any intellectually or developmentally disabled person in the eye and give them a smile next time you see them in public. Take a minute to say Hi and enjoy their unencumbered friendliness. We all have value, lots of value, so take the time to see it in yourself and others.

The camp, founded in Orlando in 1993 with 100 participants, and grew to more than 13,000 this year.

Spindler escorted and worked with a team of high school teens from California, Boston and Florida in an outreach with the Community of Hope in Melbourne and joined another team to help the Daily Bread, which assists the homeless and hungry.

Company gives to community

N-Tact Security is a private security firm in Ocala, owned by Bobbi, Mitchell and Kendall Tucker, that offers armed and unarmed security.

According to a news release, the agency recently hosted a community outreach event for residents of the Promenade Apartments complex so their officers could connect with the tenants on a personal level.

Hyperallergic: Art Movements

Nari Ward, “Breathing Flag” (photo by Guillaume Ziccarelli, courtesy Creative Time)

Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world. Subscribe to receive these posts as a weekly newsletter.

A number of Confederate monuments were removed in the wake of last week’s deadly white supremacist and neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Protestors toppled a statue of a Confederate soldier in Durham, North Carolina, a 113-year-old statue nicknamed “Old Joe” was removed in Gainesville, Florida, and Baltimore’s City Council organized the removal of four statues during the early hours of Wednesday morning. Greg Fischer, the Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, announced plans to review city sculptures that “can be interpreted to be honoring bigotry, racism and/or slavery.” Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City, announced a review of “all symbols of hate on city property” via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon.

Jeffrey Beebe debuted his Kickstarter-funded sculpture, “Trumpy the Rat,” during Monday’s protest outside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.

A 17-year-old vandalized the New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston — the second act of vandalism at the site in less than three months.

The NYPD are searching for three teenagers who vandalized headstones and spray-painted anti-Asian graffiti at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Queens.

Nari Ward’s “Breathing Flag” was hoisted at four museums across the US as part of Creative Time’s “Pledges of Allegiance” project. The work directly references the tri-color flag of Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and includes a rendition of the Congolese Cosmogram. The symbol was drilled into the floor boards of the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia — one of the oldest African-American churches in the US — where it is thought to have doubled as air holes for runaway slaves passing below.

Philadelphia will unveil a statue of Octavius Catto next month — the first statue in the city to commemorate an African American.

The arts advocacy group Fractured Atlas launched “Artist Campaign School,” a nonpartisan initiative to encourage artists to run for political office.

The Dong-A transit company installed life-size statues of women in traditional hanbok dress on buses throughout Seoul. The statues refer to the abuse of “comfort women,” a colloquial term for the estimated 80,000-200,000 girls and women who were forced into sexual slavery during Japan’s 1910–1945 occupation of the Korean peninsula. Though Japan apologized for the women’s ordeal as part of a 2015 agreement, it has never accepted legal responsibility for the abuse.

Willem de Kooning, “Woman-Ochre” (1954–55) (courtesy University of Arizona Museum of Art)

Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” (1954–55) was returned to the University of Arizona Museum of Art 32 years after it was stolen by an unidentified man and woman. The work was discovered by furniture and antiques dealer David Van Auke during a visit to an estate sale.

Vernon Rapley, the former head of Scotland Yard’s Art and Antiques Unit, told The Art Newspaper that he is “worried that the closure of the unit is now being considered.” The unit’s three detectives have been transferred to the Grenfell Tower investigation, with a Metropolitan Police spokesman refusing to say whether the detectives would return to the Art and Antiques Unit.

Chinese police forcefully evicted artists from the Iowa co-op in the Caochangdi art district in northeastern Beijing. According to ArtAsiaPacific, artists laid out a mock carpet for officials shortly before contractors began demolition work on the building.

London’s Garden Bridge project was officially scrapped after the Garden Bridge Trust announced that it had failed to raise private funding. London’s current mayor, Sadiq Khan, withdrew his support of the project — which was spearheaded by former mayor Boris Johnson — in April. A total of £46.4 million (~$59.7 million) in public money was spent on the abandoned project.

Big Ben will fall silent next week through 2021 as part of an essential restoration of Elizabeth Tower.

The memoirs of RB Kitaj (1932–2007) will be published in September, ten years after they were discovered among the artist’s possessions. The book includes a preface by David Hockney, a friend and fellow student of Kitaj’s, in which he condemns the “vicious [and] appalling” attacks leveled at the artist by critics.

The Norton Museum of Art announced the first exhibition of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney‘s sculptures since her death in 1942.
