Whiting Field: 75 Years of Service O n July 16, 1943, a new U.S. Navy airfield completed construction and was dedicated as Naval Auxiliary Air Station Whiting Field. Its mission was to train aviators in basic radio instrument instruction for World War II. In 1974, the base would be redesignated as Naval Air Station Whiting Field, its mission shifting to pilot training. Seventyfive years after its dedication, NAS Whiting Field continues to serve as one of the primary bases for Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aviation training in the country.
“The Wing (Training Air Wing Five) is training 60 percent of the primary flight students, 100 percent of the rotary flight students,” NAS Whiting Field’s Commanding Officer Capt. Paul Bowdich said. All aviation students for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard go through a primary flight school, either at NAS Whiting Field or at NAS Corpus Cristi. From there, students are selected for one of three advanced schools. These schools train students to be propeller plane pilots, jet pilots or helicopter, also known as rotary, pilots. All helicopter flight students for the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard are trained at NAS Whiting Field. The legacy of generations passing through the airfield can be felt and seen in the rows and rows of students. Many helicopter pilots can trace the beginning of their training all back to the same place, and sometimes the same aircraft. “It’s always been that way for helicopter pilots,” Training Air Wing Five’s Public Affairs Officer Lt.j.g. Kyle McCarthy, who was a rotary flight student, said. “If you talk to a helicopter pilot, they’ve come through here, at Whiting Field. My Dad was a retired Navy helicopter pilot and he was a VT-2 Doerbird just like I was.
It’s pretty crazy, he’s visited a couple times and well it hasn’t changed too much since he’s been here. He’s looked in his log book and we’ve flown the exact same aircraft down at South Field.” Along with the main base located in Milton, NAS Whiting Field spans over 12 outlying fields, including Navy Field Holley, which was converted into a 320-cell solar farm last year. The fields span across northwest Florida and lower
Alabama, covering almost 8,500 acres of land, with the base sitting on another 4,000 acres. The extra land is a huge asset to the base, as the fields can be used by aircraft other than the training aircraft NAS Whiting Field owns; the Blue Angels use one of the outlying fields to practice certain maneuvers and the Air Force’s F-35s fly in from time to time
using the fields. Last year, between the main base and the outlying fields, NAS Whiting Field hosted over one million flight operations and accounted for around 11 percent of combined Navy, Marine Crops and Coast Guard flight hours; the closest in comparison was Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, considered the busiest airport in the world, at close to 880,000 flight operations. The extra land, especially land that is so close, offers the base more options when it comes to training and exercises. “The other piece of the puzzle is the area,” Bowdich said. “The fact that we have all of the outlying fields right here in northwest Florida and the lower Alabama area. We have no other place in the country that has this many outlying fields at this close of a distance. If we are to move the
helicopter training to somewhere else, the infrastructure in order to build the outlying field to give them a place to go would be tremendous. On the fixed-wing side, Corpus Cristi area space cannot handle the other 60 percent of the load, just like we can’t handle the 40 percent Corpus Cristi trains up here; we don’t have the infrastructure here. So there’s no

by Kaitlyn Peacock one else in the United States that has the ability to do what we do.” Since operations began, Training Air Wing Five has “winged” over 34,400 helicopter aviators. “Winging” is the final step for all naval aviation students, conducted in a ceremony after a student graduates flight school and is given the golden wings of the naval aviation insignia, officially welcoming him or her as a pilot. This does not include the thousands of students trained on the fixedwing aircraft who are sent to advanced training at another base and winged there. With around 1,200 students annually passing through Training Air Wing Five, the number of aviators coming through the base is set to increase in the next few years. “Many bases have seen a decrease in operations in some cases, but we’re getting increased operations here,” Training Air Wing Five’s Deputy Commodore Capt. Doug Rosa said. “In the next five years, we’re going to be training an additional 50 rotarywing pilots and an additional 30 or so tilt-wing pilots. So our demands and our production requirements are increasing, not decreasing.” Bowdich and Rosa acknowledged that part of their success lies with Santa Rosa and Escambia counties, who partner with the base frequently. The base’s students and activities accounted for over $1.43 billion for the local area in 2017, 35 percent of Santa Rosa County’s total gross regional product alone. The base also provided over 15,000 jobs between the main base and the outlying fields. From the Santa Rosa Deputy’s Office to the Pensacola International

Airport, NAS Whiting Field has impacted nearly every industry in the region. “We have a great support from Santa Rosa County,” Bowdich said. “Not only Santa Rosa County but all the other surrounding communities. From up in Alabama to down in Escambia to here in Santa Rosa, the support has been tremendous. They definitely keep us viable as a location.” Seventy-five years after its dedication, having been built for the needs of a world at war and having seen the empty fields of northwest Florida develop into the town we know as Milton, NAS Whiting Field continues to serve as a pillar of the community. With new flight simulators and new aircraft expected within the next couple of years, its legacy of aviators will continue to serve the country for generations to come.

Annual Fenner Ride to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida More than 400 cyclists from around the region are expected to participate in the annual Fenner Ride in Milton, Oct. 20. The century ride, benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, begins at Guy Thompson Community Center at 5629 Byrom St., Milton. A portion of the ride will be on the Blackwater State Heritage Trail, selected as one of Florida’s most scenic greenways. The ride routes are broken down into four distances of 18, 40, 62 and 100 miles. Early registration is $45 through Oct. 17, $55 thereafter, and includes a T-shirt, rest stops, limited sag support and a post-ride meal. Registration on the day of the ride begins at 6:30 a.m. at Guy Thomp-
son Community Center. Participants can register online at www.bbbsnwfl. org or by contacting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida at 4335437. Proceeds benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida. Fenner Ride is hosted in conjunction with the Beaches to Woodlands Tour in Santa Rosa County and the West Florida Wheelmen. Sponsorships are available. Contact Courtney Cook, vice president of development, at ccook@bbbsnwfl.org or 433-5437 for more information. Fenner Ride is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Fenner McConnell and Matt Wantz. Both men were avid cyclists and former members of
the West Florida Wheelmen. A hit-and-run driver killed Dr. Fenner McConnell, a medical examiner for a four-county district in the Panhandle, in 1998 as he rode his bicycle across Bob Sikes Bridge. Matt Wantz was tragically killed while working in a local bike shop. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida has been the area’s leader in one-to-one mentoring for 29 years by serving children ages 6 to 18.

One Palafox Place’s History Hall opens with ribbon cutting ceremony The University of West Florida celebrated the opening of History Hall at One Palafox Place with a ribbon cutting ceremony Aug. 7. History Hall, a hallway in the recently revitalized Blount building, located at Garden and Palafox streets, features a mural wall of Pensacola’s storied past, adjacent to a History room with UWF Historic Trust artifacts on display. One Palafox Place, LLC, an investment group made up of Charlie, Bobby and John Switzer and Billy Lovelace, purchased the Brent and Blount buildings in 2015 and started the revitalization and historic preservation project in collaboration with the UWF Historic Trust thereafter. “I’m excited about telling a cohesive story downtown and teaching people about our rich history,” Charlie Switzer, treasurer of the UWF Historic Trust Board of Directors, said. “This building is central to Pensacola’s history, so it was the perfect place to establish History Hall.” UWF President Martha D. Saunders spoke at the event and thanked the Switzer family for their commitment to historic renewal and our community. The Switzer brothers, the great grandsons of F.C. Brent, collected photographs from the UWF Historic Trust Archive that tell the story of the Blount and Brent Buildings and share the legacy of the Brent families in Pensacola. “You have to know your history, and History Hall at One Palafox Place gives you that opportunity,” Bobby Switzer said. “These are the shoulders we’re standing on and the people that made this town. It’s our responsibility to keep it going.”
Collier Merrill, prominent local business leader and chair of the UWF Historic Trust Board of Directors, worked with the Switzers for years to see this project come to life. “I am really impressed with what the Switzers have done with this project, not only by preserving the building but also with the development of History Hall, which further showcases Pensacola and its historical background,” Merrill said. “Charlie Switzer serving on the UWF Historic Trust Board of Directors has brought the legacy of a lot of old Pensacola families. My hope is that other businesses along Palafox will follow in their footsteps, further steering visitors and locals to live Pensacola’s history in Historic Pensacola.” The collage will change and rotate over time and share the many narratives of Pensacola. “We are grateful to the Switzer family for their interest in activating history in downtown Pensacola,” Amy BowmanMcElhone, assistant vice president of the UWF Historic Trust Museums and the director and chief curator of the Pensacola Museum of Art, said. “Through collaborative partnerships like this project, our collection comes to life and is shared with the community.” Community members are encouraged to share images and stories of Pensacola’s past at https://www.facebook.com/historicpcola.

Escambia County youth employment program prepares future workforce
As 17-year-old Raina Brown quickly made her way through a stack of emergency medical bills on a bustling Thursday morning at Escambia County Public Safety, you’d never know she’d only been doing her job for a couple of months – or that she just graduated high school in May. Rather than just enjoying a break before starting her college education, Brown – who plans to be a nurse – spent her summer working for Public Safety through the Escambia County Youth Employment Program. She learned the ins and outs of Emergency Medical Services billing, insurance, customer service and related skills, also becoming CPR certified. Brown was one of 76 local youth who participated in the Youth Employment Program this summer, which gave 16 to 24-year-olds the opportunity to get paid work experience in various county departments, including Public Works, Public Safety, Escambia County Area Transit, West Florida Public Libraries and more. Through the program, youth worked up to 30 hours a week at minimum wage, gaining valuable experience all summer while learning workforce etiquette such as professional dress, timeliness and respect. Brown said she was excited to work with computer programs and learn terminology often used in hospitals, which she said will help her in the future as she studies to become a registered nurse. “Just knowing that I am getting an opportunity to do something like this, and the fact that I know it’s going to help me in the future makes it a lot better for me, and a lot more fun because I know I’m going to take something out of this,” she said. “It’s not just a job, it’s not just fast food – it’s something that I can keep with me forever.” Brown’s supervisors were so impressed with her that they hired her after the program ended to work part-time while she attends Pensacola State College to get her associate degree. “Raina is the type of person who’s a goto,” EMS Billing Manager Shandra Jenkins said. “She takes the initiative, and she thinks outside the box. She would be an asset to any company that would employ her…Raina takes every challenge as an opportunity for growth.” Several youth employees got to see what it’s like to work at one of the county’s seven public library branches, which was especially exciting for 17-year-old Sarah Hammer, who plans to be a librarian and author. Hammer, who is starting her junior year at Pensacola High School, said the Youth Employment program gave her a great first job experience that helped build a solid foundation for when she begins her career as a librarian. “It’s been a lot of fun,” Hammer said. “A lot of learning opportunities, a few challenges, but mostly it’s been a good time…I’ve enjoyed getting the basics now so that when I try to get a real job
in a library or I try to become an actual librarian, I already have the basic knowledge of what goes on in a library from day to day.” Ben Areola, 17, also had his first job experience through the Youth Employment Program, spending his summer working with the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office as they prepared for the Aug. 28 primary. He worked on everything from preventative maintenance on the voting machines to making ballot decks to test the machines before election day. Although the tasks were outside of Areola’s projected study field of architecture or engineering, he said he enjoyed the variety of the work and appreciated learning about timeliness, responsibility and how to work well with his supervisor. “I’m always excited to get up in the morning and see what I’m doing, because it’s not like you do the same thing every day,” he said. “Because once you’ve done one thing, you have to do something different to get ready for the election. So I just enjoyed the work environment.” Doug Browne, a warehouse specialist with the Supervisor of Elections Office, supervised Areola over the summer and had nothing but positive feedback about working with him. “I wish I had more of Ben,” Browne said. “He’s a very, very good employee. When I give him a task, he does it well. There are some things I gave him to do that he found an easier way to do it, so he was quicker at it – he’s always thinking about stuff like that.” For one youth employee, working with the county over the summer helped solidify his plans to pursue studies in video and digital production. James Hill, a 19-year-old sophomore at Florida State University, worked in the county’s Community and Media Relations Division. His tasks included filming and editing videos for the county’s TV station, ECTV, working in the studio during the live broadcast of county commission meetings and making online documents compatible with Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines. “My experience has been pretty interesting,” Hill said. “It’s been a learning experience, and it kind of helped me reevaluate what I like about videos and photos and editing. And it was also a learning experience because I had more of a sense of responsibility having to do certain things on my own.” Youth Employment Program participants also received job readiness training and post-employment briefings, which provided them feedback about their job performance. The youth workers were recognized by District 3 Commissioner Lumon May and Neighborhood and Human Services staff at a ceremony Aug. 9. Information about future cycles of the Escambia County Youth Employment Program will be posted at myescambia. com/youthemployment and on the Escambia County Facebook page.

IHMC lecture series announced IHMC will host a lecture series which will include Richard Kohler and Evan Kovacs on “The Talk: From the Seafloor to the Stars,” Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. before the lecture and will be hald at 40 S Alcaniz St. Exploring together for over 30 years, Kohler and Kovacs have documented some of the most historically significant shipwrecks and underwater mysteries around the globe, including the RMS Titanic, the USS Arizona and the Andrea Doria. They have filmed and co-hosted 56 episodes of the History Channel program “Deep Sea Detectives” and numerous other documentary films detailing their exploits in uncovering underwater enigmas and natural wonders. In “Seafloor to the Stars” they detail a decade of exploration on the RMS Titanic and the recent discovery and recovery of the Apollo spacecraft’s F-1 engines. Richie Kohler is an author and shipwreck explorer whose 40 years of diving experiences have taken him to all corners of the globe. These exploits have been detailed in documentary films and in a NY Times best-selling book, Shadow Divers, by Robert Kurson. Kohler hosted fifty-six episodes of the popular History Channel program “Deep Sea Detectives” and numerous other television programs detailing his explorations on some of the most famous shipwrecks in the world, including the Andrea Doria, RMS Titanic, and the HMHS Britannic. Utilizing submersibles and cutting-edge diving equipment, Kohler’s focus in underwater exploration has been on the human aspect of shipwreck tragedies, correcting fractured or missing history and in doing so, providing answers and closure to family members. Locating and identifying lost warships such as the USS Murphy, USS Lagarto, U-215 and U-869 and reaching out to these people has been the real reward in shipwreck exploration. Kohler’s recent work on a forgotten WWII submarine battle helped bring posthumous recognition to American Naval Captain in an award ceremony at the US Pentagon.
A fellow in the Explorer’s Club, Kohler continues to lead expeditions worldwide in search of lost ships and the mysteries they hold. He has written numerous magazine articles about shipwrecks, deep diving and diver safety and in 2017, published his first book, Mystery of the Last Olympian detailing a decade of work on Titanic’s sister ship Britannic. Over the years he has made numerous presentations at schools, libraries, diving conventions and symposiums promoting diving safety, education and awareness. Evan Kovacs a world class diver, passionate explorer, and perpetual imaginer, began his work with subsea imagery in 2003 while working with the History Channel. He is one of very few people to film – in both 2D and 3D – the RMS Titanic and her sister ship, HMHS Britannic. Over the course of his career, he has participated and led expeditions to survey and film wrecks, caves, and archaeological sites across the United States, to the islands of the South Pacific, the English Channel, the jungles of Mexico and the Dominican Republic, the D-Day beaches of Normandy, the Mediterranean, Thailand, Antarctica. His underwater and topside work can be seen on National Geographic, History Channel, Discovery Channel, PBS NOVA, CBC, NHK, and elsewhere. In 2009, he was nominated for an Emmy in videography for the NOVA program Lost and Found: Legacy of the USS Lagarto and in 2013 was underwater cinematographer and camera engineer on the Apollo 11 Rocket Engine Recovery with Jeff Bezos. Since 2006, he has partnered with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Advanced Imaging and Visualization Lab to build and operate imaging systems for filming both above and below water for broadcast television, archaeological expeditions, and esteemed research institutions around the world. He has filmed around the world with numerous the deep submersibles like Alvin, the Pisces submersibles, Tritons and numerous remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).

Formerly operating as L3 Vertex Aerospace, a subsidiary of L3 Technologies, the merger establishes Vertex Aerospace and its subsidiaries as a global onestop-shop solution, providing full aftermarket aerospace services for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. The purchase includes Vertex Aerospace’s three subsidiary companies – Crestview Aerospace in Northwest Florida, TCS Aerospace in Warner Robins, Ga., and Flight International in Williamsburg, Va. Crestview Aerospace, a certified FAA Part 145 licensed repair station, was originally founded in Florida in 1964 as Fairchild Industries Corp. The company provides fabrication and manufacturing of aviation parts, assemblies and sub-assemblies for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, supporting quick-reaction, drop-in or special mission requirements. “This acquisition provides significant growth potential throughout our organization’s 100 worldwide locations,” John Ed Boyington, Jr., President and CEO of Vertex Aerospace, said. “Crestview Aerospace adds extensive value to our portfolio and aligns with
our growth strategy enabling us to provide our customers cradle-to-grave aircraft sustainment.” Brian Anderson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crestview Aerospace, said the merger of these companies adds aircraft modification and systems integration to the Vertex Aerospace arsenal, positioning the conglomerate to provide essential global aerospace services to its customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “I am very pleased with the company’s new partners and grateful for the opportunity to be directly aligned with Vertex, TCS, and Flight International, delivering a global aerospace presence,” Anderson said. “Crestview Aerospace is strategically focused on leveraging the strengths of ‘Team Vertex’ for continued support of our community, customers, and the men and women of the U. S. military.” Information about the company and job announcements can be found on Facebook and Twitter under the handle @VTXAero. The organization is in the process of designing a new website and LinkedIn page that will be published soon.

Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward and IHMC are pleased to announce an innovative partnership between IHMC and the City of Pensacola Police Department in the development of a comprehensive police drone program. The program will incorporate specialized drones in police operations such as search and rescue, disaster response, fugitive evasion, threat situations and monitoring outdoor events. “This is a wonderful program that is going make Pensacola a safer community,” Hayward said. “And because we have the expertise of IHMC here in our community, we also are going to be in a leadership role in terms of the use of these specialized drones in fighting crime and in helping to make our community a safer place.” While off-the-shelf drones are available to law-enforcement agencies, many are not appropriate for critical government services such as police operations. Most drones also are unable to handle missions that operate in or around buildings. IHMC has been developing technology for years that is well-suited to provide customized drones that can be effective tools for law enforcement needs. IHMC and the Pensacola Police
Department also will work together to develop a training program on the use of these specialized drones. Pensacola-based IHMC is a not-forprofit research institute that has grown into one of the nation’s premier research organizations with world-class scientists and engineers investigating a broad range of topics related to building technological systems aimed at amplifying and extending human cognition, perception, locomotion and resilience. The institute is part of the Florida University System and has a branch in Ocala. “Most people know about our work with robots and NASA and the various branches of the military” Ken Ford, IHMC CEO, said. “But this is a great example of how the expertise of our scientists is being used right here in Pensacola for the benefit of our community.” For more information or general questions, e-mail pio@cityofpensacola.com and follow @cityofpensacola on Twitter.

FloridaWest EDA and the PEDC announce five-year strategic plan for economic development
Last week, representatives from the FloridaWest Board of Directors and the Pensacola-Escambia Promotion and Development Commission presented a FloridaWest/PEDC Five-Year Strategic plan for Economic Development to the Escambia County Commission. The plan will be presented to Pensacola City Council at an upcoming meeting. The detailed strategy identifies six areas of work, all designed to improve economic outcomes for the citizens and communities. This will be accomplished by increasing the number of high wage jobs available in the community, increasing the local tax base and improving educational opportunities in specific target industry sectors. FloridaWest will primarily work to increase capital investment and high wage jobs by attracting new businesses, retaining and expanding existing businesses and helping new businesses grow. The board members of the PEDC and FloridaWest met in day-long public meetings in January and April, volunteering their time to draft the comprehensive plan. “Economic Development is an investment in our future,” FloridaWest CEO Scott Luth, said. “We thank our City and County Partners, for with their support, the significant goals set forth in the plan can be realized.”
Escambia County completes SHIP tornado replacement homes With the final six homes completed and turned over to homeowners on Front Street in Century Aug. 10, Escambia County is closing its tornado recovery efforts under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The homeowners received their keys on Friday and were able to begin moving back into their homes, which were heavily damaged or destroyed by the February 2016 tornado in Century. The county received special SHIP disaster funding from the state to provide repair and replacement housing assistance for income-eligible households affected by one of the two tornadoes that struck Escambia County in February 2016. Through the SHIP program, Escambia County replaced 17 homes damaged or destroyed by the tornadoes. Those receiving assistance for replacement housing under the SHIP program received loans from the county to cover reconstruction of their homes and other associated costs, such as surveys and demolition. Program terms are a five-year, zero percent interest deferred payment mortgage that will be forgiven at the end of the five years, provided the owners are not in default of any program requirements, including payment of property taxes, current property insurance and occupying the home as the primary residence. The county directly solicited construction bids for the six homes on
Front Street, which is located within the National Register-listed Alger-Sullivan Lumber Company Residential Historic District, in order to meet town of Century and state of Florida historic preservation guidelines. The other 11 SHIP homes were constructed through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. The county completed 11 disaster repair projects with SHIP funding, with four repairs inside the town of Century limits, two within the city of Pensacola limits, and five in the unincorporated area of the county. Additionally, SHIP funds were used to demolish two tornado damaged structures. The completion of repairs and replacement housing represents a significant collaboration between Escambia County, the city of Pensacola, the town of Century, Legal Services of North Florida, the Escambia County Housing Finance Authority, the Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies, United Way, Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida Inc., St. Vincent de Paul Society and many other volunteer organizations. These agencies have collectively provided financing, facilitated applicant intake, served as the case managers, worked on legal issues to help owners gain a clear title, furnished replacement household goods, delivered temporary rental assistance while owners were displaced and provided construction oversight and labor.

SLAIN STUDENTS’ FAMILIES HAMMER SCHOOL BOARD By NATHALIE SCZUBLEWSKI NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
SUNRISE – Family members whose loved ones were killed during a massacre at a Parkland high school in February slammed the Broward County School board for failing to make schools safe, just one week before classes begin. The group, which held a press conference at an arena where the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission was meeting Thursday, also called for the school board to be voted out of office, blasting them for a lack of leadership. “We have focused on issues, but the school board has not provided answers,” Tony Montalto, whose daughter Gina, was among the 14 students killed in the Valentine’s Day mass shooting, said. Three faculty members also died after Nikolas Cruz, who confessed to the killings, allegedly opened fire at his former school. Cruz has been charged with 17 counts of murder. “So today we would like to make the citizens of Broward County aware that the current school board has failed to properly prepare the county’s 234 schools for the upcoming school year,” Montalto, president of “Stand with Parkland,” a nonprofit organization launched by parents of Parkland victims in response to the mass shooting, said. Montalto urged “everyone concerned with the safety of this county’s schools” to take action at the polls.
“Vote for new school board representation that would be more concerned about the safety of students and teachers in all of Broward County,” he said. Two parents of 14-year-old girls who were killed in the Valentine’s Day massacre are running for school board. Lori Alhadeff, whose daughter Alyssa was among the 17 victims, and Ryan Petty, whose daughter Alaina also died, are running “in order to continue their fight for improved school safety, increased transparency and increased accountability in Broward Schools in order to ensure a quality education,” they said in a press release announcing their candidacy in May. During a Broward County School Board meeting earlier Thursday morning, board member Donna Korn called the 2017/18 academic year “one of the best” for the county. But Korn’s comments elicited outrage from April Schentrup, whose 16-year-old
daughter Carmen was among the slain Parkland students. “Being an employee of the school district, and a mother who has endured such tragedy, it was difficult to hear those words,” Schentrup said. “Because I know we are not the only ones in Broward County who struggled. We know that it wasn’t an amazing year. We know that it wasn’t the best year for Broward schools.” Schentrup said the county needs school board members who are “compassionate, who understand and who lead.” Other parents vented frustrations with the school board’s “lack of leadership” and failure to reach consensus about school security issues. Max Schachter, whose 14-year-old son Alex also died, created a task force to screen companies that want to donate and sell safety-related products to the school system. Schachter, who serves on the public safety commission created by the state
Legislature earlier this year, said that over $2 million worth of products were donated, but the school district turned him away. “There is no accountability,” he said. “There’s no leadership and we don’t want this (school shooting) to happen to other schools. We don’t want this to happen to any other children.” Andrew Pollack, whose 18-year-old daughter Meadow was also a victim, accused school district Superintendent Robert Runcie of reversing himself on major decisions related to the investigation of the Feb. 14 event as well as other schoolsafety issues. “He flip-flopped on the internal report to look into the administration on what went wrong,” Pollack said. “I’m all in on this from the beginning and I say this in front of all my family and friends – accountability. My daughter was murdered.” The parents of the victims shared their concerns with reporters during a break in Thursday’s meeting of the public safety commission at the BB&T Center in Sunrise. The commission has been tasked with investigating the Parkland shooting – the second-worst school shooting in the nation’s history – and making recommendations to prevent future tragedies. “What happened Feb. 14 changes everything,” Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter Jaime was among the victims, told reporters after the press conference. “And sometimes leadership rises to an occasion and sometimes it doesn’t. It didn’t here.”

Uber and Lyft have upended the traditional taxi industry. Numerous communities in Florida, including Miami-Dade County, grappled with how --- and whether --- to regulate the new companies. After Miami-Dade County passed its ordinance, the Legislature in 2017 approved a law that created a statewide regulatory framework for the new companies. That state law trumped local ordinances, but the federal appeals court said the Miami-Dade cab companies were still able to pursue the classaction lawsuit against the county because of the 2016 ordinance. But the appeals court said the county had a rational basis for the ordinance, including differences in regulation between taxis and the new transportation services, which the court called “transportation network entities,” or “TNEs.” “The long and short of it is that the medallion holders’ constitutional claims fail,” the ruling said. “Their takings claims falter because they cannot lay claim to a property interest that includes the power to block competitors from the forhire transportation market. And their equal protection claims fail because any disparate regulatory treatment that the county afforded taxicabs and TNEs was amply supported by legitimate government interests.”
TALLAHASSEE --- Florida voters have the right to decide whether all local constitutional officers, including sheriffs and tax collectors, should be elected, a Leon County judge ruled. Circuit Judge James Shelfer on Thursday rejected a challenge from Volusia and Broward counties that sought to have what is known as Amendment 10 removed from the Nov. 6 general-election ballot. The challenge argued the ballot language and summary were misleading. The amendment, which was placed on the ballot by the Constitution Revision Commission, would make the five constitutional offices --- sheriff, tax collector, supervisor of elections, clerk of the court and property appraiser --- mandatory and require elections for the offices in all 67 counties. It would also prohibit charter counties from abolishing or modifying those offices. In his ruling, Shelfer said “an average Florida voter should easily understand” the chief purpose of the amendment. He also rejected an argument from the challengers that the constitutional-officer provisions were unfairly sandwiched between “feel good” proposals in the ballot measure related to military veterans and counter-terrorism. He acknowledged the amendment was unclear on whether its impact would be “prospective or retrospective.” But he said “that is a question for another case and another day.” Shelfer also noted his order was “the first stop in a journey to the Florida Supreme Court whose decision will determine if the amendment makes it onto the ballot.” Volusia, Broward and other charter
counties have opposed the amendment, arguing that local voters through the charter process should have the power to decide how constitutional offices are structured and whether they should be elected positions. Carolyn Timmann, the Martin County clerk of court who helped craft the amendment while serving on the Constitution Revision Commission, said the ballot measure “protects the people’s right to vote” for constitutional officers. She said she was “happy that the people of Florida will have the opportunity to vote on this, along with other measures important to protecting our veterans, families and tax dollars.” In addition to the constitutional-officer provisions, Amendment 10 would allow the Legislature to begin its annual session in January in even-numbered years. It would create an Office of Domestic Security and Counterterrorism in the Department of Law Enforcement. And it would revise the constitutional authority for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. The Constitution Revision Commission meets every 20 years and has unique power to place proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. Amendment 10 is one of four ballot measures approved by the commission that are being challenged in court. Other measures under litigation include ballot proposals to ban greyhound racing (Amendment 13), to expand the use of charter schools and impose school-board term limits (Amendment 8) and to establish victims’ rights in the state Constitution (Amendment 6). In total, 13 constitutional amendments have been slated for the November ballot, including eight measures passed by the commission. To be enacted, each amendment must be approved by at least 60 percent of the voters.
