Witness Archeology in Action at Arcadia Mill By Rita Johnson
Hidden in the back of the cozy, winding neighborhood of Arcadia Village is Arcadia Mill, what Site Manager Adrianne Walker refers to as “Pensacola’s best-kept secret.” She talks of the lack of knowledge about the historic site, saying that they often get local visitors who had never even heard of Arcadia Mill, even though they have lived in the Pensacola area most of their life. “Much of our programming is aimed towards getting people out to the site and getting the word out,” Walker said. “We don’t want to be a secret!” One program on offer is the Archaeology in Action event happening this summer. The public can visit the University of West Florida field school site and watch Walker and students excavating the site. The event, which runs from May 29 through June 15, offers visitors the chance to witness archaeology in action. In addition to observing the excavation site, on June 6 and 13, visitors can participate in a field lab in the Arcadia Mill classroom, located in the visitor’s center. During these field labs, participants can “rough sort” artifacts that have been excavated, as well as some artifacts from other sites. Walker highlighted these days as particularly good days to come. “It’s kind of unique if you attend on those days,” said Walker. “It’s a way to experience the other side of archaeology—when you get back to the lab and you’re actually looking at the artifacts.” Located next to Pensacola State College’s Milton campus, the site is well worth the trip. The visitor’s center feels warm and welcoming the moment you walk in. The lobby is filled with informational exhibits about the site’s history and the center also features a classroom where events are often hosted. Guided tours are available and there is signage scattered about the property for those who prefer a selfguided approach. Arcadia Mill is home to some fascinating local history. Dating back to the early 1800s, the property
was originally 680 acres, of which the University of West Florida owns only 40. The original owner of the property sold it to Ezekiel Simpson and Company, who helped establish numerous sawmills and textile mills on the property, which turned the area into a booming industrial center. The Simpson family, who still live in the area and contribute to the upkeep of the historic site, established a plantation on the property in the mid-1800s. The plantation house has been dubbed “The Homestead” and it is the site of this summer’s UWF field school, where researchers are trying to learn more about Arcadia Mill’s history through examining the crumbled structures. Currently, they’re looking for the boundary of the south porch of the old house as well as investigating what they believe to have been slave housing. All of the site’s programming events are meant to be educational and kid-friendly. “I think it’s a great opportunity for kids to connect with the history of the place where they live, to learn about history in a hands-on way, and to see that history is an ongoing process,” said Walker. Arcadia Mill also offers a free kids craft day at the end of every month. Parents can bring kids in from 11 am to 2 pm for free arts and crafts. Upcoming crafts include glitter fireworks on June 30 and animal footprint crafts on July 28. More information about Arcadia Mill and the Archaeology in Action event is available on the Arcadia Mill section of historicpensacola.org.

Florida TaxWatch, Charlie Ward honored the Guardian ad Litem program with Prudential Productivity Award Florida TaxWatch recognized the Statewide Guardian ad Litem Program Tuesday, June 5, with the Prudential Productivity Award at Florida State University’s Ruby Diamond Concert Hall in a program that featured FSU football legend Charlie Ward as its keynote speaker. Established in 1989, the Prudential Productivity Awards program is designed to highlight and reward state employees who innovatively reduce costs and improve services for Florida taxpayers. TaxWatch announced the 2018 Prudential winners last month, citing the GAL Program for its Defending Best Interests Project, which recruits and coordinates appellate attorneys who volunteer their skills to help abused, abandoned and neglected children. A collaboration with Florida Bar members, including the Appellate Practice Section, the Defending Best Interests Project began in July 2017 – as the number of children coming into foster care was rising by 11 percent. The Project uses pro bono attorneys to represent children in the state’s appellate courts – and since its inception nearly a year ago, its volunteer attorneys have been assigned more than 100 appeals and have donated more than 2,200 hours to the project, said Thomasina Moore, the Guardian ad Litem Program’s statewide director of appeals. Attorneys who volunteer for Defending Best Interests write the legal arguments with help from the GAL Program, Moore said. She estimated that
at an average hourly rate of $290 per hour for attorneys, the State of Florida had gained $650,000 in donated legal services as a result. “This has allowed the GAL Program to shift resources from its appellate team to address the immediate needs of children in the trial courts while still maintaining the quality of its appellate advocacy,” she said. GAL Executive Director Alan Abramowitz said both the GAL Program and The Florida Bar Foundation have been working to encourage more attorneys to do pro bono work. Last year The Florida Bar Foundation established its Pro Bono Matters website, www.floridaprobono.org, which uses technology to connect attorneys looking for pro bono work with Floridians who need their services. And in March, Gov. Rick Scott signed the “Pro Bono Matters Act of 2018,” which covers due-process costs for pro bono attorneys appointed to represent dependent children with special needs. Proposed by the GAL Program, it was sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, and in the House by Rep. Frank White, R-Pensacola. “The Florida Legislature has clearly shown its support for pro bono attorneys who serve the state’s most vulnerable children,” said Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, who co-sponsored the measure. To learn more about the Guardian ad Litem Program or become a volunteer, visit www.GuardianadLitem.org or call 1-866-341-1GAL.
Patti Marine Enterprises donates dive platform to UWF archaeology program
The University of West Florida received a new dive platform from Frank Patti, Jr. of Patti Marine Enterprises June 11. The Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, within the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities will use the new platform for staging archaeological and other scientific research. “I am honored and pleased to provide UWF with two viable hulls that will work in unison as a platform for expeditions and all the history that has yet to be found in Pensacola waters,” Patti said. Two rebuilt barges will replace the current 20-year-old platforms, which were rebuilt in 2002 with the assistance of the Patti family. Students, faculty and staff utilize the dive platform for investigating shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay, including the three shipwrecks from the Spanish fleet linked to Tristán de Luna y Arellano’s 16th century expedition to modern-day Pensacola. The platform allows for several
Community Submission
teams of divers in the water, while others take notes, screen materials or maintain equipment above. The new platform is expected to hold more people and will feature canopies to provide shade and seating, as well as storage facilities for personal equipment. Dr. Elizabeth Benchley, director of the Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, said UWF will benefit from the Patti family’s gift in many ways. “The platform can be used all day long, which allows student to participate in large-scale excavations,” Benchley said. “Without a dive platform like this, we can only conduct archaeology from smaller boats with far less space. A gift such as this is really essential when we are excavating a shipwreck over a long period of time. We are extremely appreciative of the Patti family and their support of our program.” For more information about the Division of Anthropology and Archaeology, visit uwf.edu/anthropology.
FSU graduate students work on incubator study for Northwest Florida. From left to right: Dr. Parrish, Patrick Mas, Holt Johnson and Courtney Clark
FSU graduate students work on incubator study for Florida, emphasis on Santa Rosa County Graduate students from Florida State University (FSU) will spend the next two months working on an incubator study for Northwest Florida with an emphasis on Santa Rosa County. The results will show what opportunities exist for a business incubator in the county. “These graduate students in the masters in applied economics program at FSU are learning about economic development and how to diversify local economies,” said Dr. Jerry Parrish, adjunct at FSU and chief economist of the Florida Chamber Foundation. “The program is ranked in the top five in the U.S. and these students will provide a detailed look at what type of incubator would be the right match for the area.” Students will consider existing startup companies and other factors in determining whether a business incubator is needed in the area. Prospective sites will be suggested based on drive times
and patterns, as well as available property. Business incubators typically contain multiple office spaces and shared conference rooms. “This idea came about while working with Gulf Power - we pitched an idea of having an incubator study to see if there was need for a space in Santa Rosa County. A business incubator will allow small business owners to come to one location - it will get them beyond their garage and give them an office setting to have client visits, collaborate with other small business owners and bounce ideas off of each other,” said Santa Rosa County Economic Development Director Shannon Ogletree. “Having this space will help encourage more startups and allow us to further assist small businesses in the county.” For more information contact Dr. Jerry Parrish at the Florida Chamber Foundation, jparrish@flfoundation.org.
Portside Vision and Reinvestment Strategy “In what ways might Pensacola’s port lands evolve to meet the economic and social opportunities of the next 50 years?” This is the central question posed by the City and its consultants as it embarks on the creation of a vision plan and reinvestment strategy for the Port of Pensacola. We invite you to be a part of this important conversation. Since its establishment, the Port has served as an important transportation and trade gateway in Northwest Florida. Early on, goods shipped through Pensacola included regionally harvested lumber, locally made bricks and sailing ship masts. As Pensacola and the region evolved, so too did the Port’s cargoes. Manufactured paper, wind turbines, power plant components and services supporting offshore industries all became part of the Port’s increasing specialization within the broader network of Florida and Gulf seaports. The Port, however, faces strong economic headwinds in its efforts to remain a self-sustaining enterprise. The Port’s 50 acres of facilities and infrastructure requires continual maintenance and upgrade to remain competitive in its areas of specialization at a time when local, state and federal resources remain harder to rely upon. And these headwinds have gained strength at a time of renaissance along Pensacola’s waterfront and throughout the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. Thus, “how best should Pensacola’s port land’s evolve?” is an appropriate question to ask as we continue to plan for the future. The City has retained the maritime and community planning expertise of Moffatt & Nichol to help with this visioning and strategy effort, with initial data collection and planning tasks underway. Over the next four months, the consultants will explore innovative
ideas, uses, and community priorities for some or all of the Port unearthed through thoughtful, focused engagement of Pensacola residents, port users and other stakeholders. How can you stay involved in this important effort? The planning team will develop a series of interactive work sessions and survey efforts to help collect and channel community feedback into compelling ideas for the long-term evolution of the Port. The first of these will be a community open house held June 26 through 27 at City Hall’s Hagler/Mason Conference Room (222 West Main Street, Second Floor). Specific hours and interactive sessions will be announced over the course of this week through various media outlets. The planning team also invites you to stay in touch with all events and activities via the project’s website—www. portsidepensacola.com. The website will be updated with vision plan materials and news. Also delivered through the website will be two online survey initiatives designed to learn what Pensacola residents desire for their waterfront and Port, and later, to encourage community assessment of preliminary future visions of Pensacola’s port lands. Draft and final versions of the vision plan and reinvestment strategy will be assembled during the month of September. The plan will include case study research, concepts, illustrations, strategies and other features that combined will offer community leaders a playbook from which to draw upon to guide the future of the Port and its facilities. For more information please visit www.portsidepensacola.com or contact City of Pensacola, Economic Policy Coordinator, Rebecca Ferguson rferguson@cityofpensacola.com

Escambia County School District’s Transportation Department Public Safe Boating Course Available Announces Two June Job Fairs
West Florida Public Library to Host Free Jazz Film Series Jazz Pensacola and the West Florida Public Library will present a free “Jazz Film Series” Sundays throughout July at the downtown library, 239 N. Spring St. All films begin at 1:30 p.m. and feature a brief introduction and a jazz discussion by Jazz Pensacola members and library staff. In addition, filmgoers can enjoy free refreshments and a Jazz Room exhibit. The schedule will be: • July 1: “The Benny Goodman Story” • July 8: “The Glenn Miller Story” • July 22: “The Gene Krupa Story” • July 29: “Paris Blues” Jazz Pensacola co-founder/jazz aficiando Norman Vickers will introduce the first two films. Jazz Pensacola President Fred Domulot, a popular session drummer and long-time music educator, will demonstrate the use of the drum kit and introduce “The Gene Krupa Story.” As an introduction to “Paris Blues,” renowned pianist/vocalist Crystal Joy Albert will perform some jazz tunes and share some personal experiences about
her career in Boston, New York, Harlem and Miami. The Jazz Film Series is designed to increase public awareness of the Jazz Room collection, which began in the 1980s when LPs were transitioning to CDs, Vickers says. Today, the Jazz Room houses a curated selection of approximately 1,200 books, CDs and movies about the history, performance and culture of jazz in its many forms. Other special features of the room include a listening station where patrons can sample a variety of jazz styles, music books with play-along CDs and jazz-related artwork donated by library users. “Eugene Fischer, then director of the library system, expressed an interest in having a jazz collection,” Vickers said. “So, the Jazz Society of Pensacola lent its funds and expertise. The Friends of the West Florida Library graciously offered to match donations of the Jazz Society. In the ensuing years, the collection has grown and is currently valued at $20,000.” For more information, visit jazzpensacola.com or mywfpl.com.

Senior Chill Out to Help Elders Remain Safe and Cool this Summer The annual Senior Chill Out, a one-day donation drive to collect new air conditioners, fans and/ or funds to help seniors beat the heat, will be held by Council on Aging of West Florida, WEAR ABC 3, WFGX 35, Cat Country 98.7, NewsRadio 1620 and Lowe’s Home Improvement June 15 at area Lowe’s stores (Fairfield Drive, Airport Boulevard and Nine Mile Road in Pensacola; Highway 98 in Gulf Breeze and Highway 90 in Pace) from 6 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. The community is encouraged to help seniors who experience dangerous health complications as a result of the stifling summer heat by donating ACs or fans. Monetary contributions are also appreciated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more people die from heat waves each year than from hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes com-
bined. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of excessive heat due to their body’s decreased ability to regulate temperature. They are also in potential peril because of medical conditions and prescription medicines that can impair their ability to feel hot or even perspire. “The Florida summer presents a unique challenge for our clients and other older citizens,” John Clark, President/ CEO of Council on Aging said. “Imagine having no relief in your home on those days that reach 90 or even a hundred degrees. It’s extremely uncomfortable and very dangerous. There’s really only one way to solve this problem: air conditioning. We provide that solution, thanks to our great community partners and donors.” Each year, hundreds of local elders are helped through the program. In 2017, Council on Aging
was able to assist more than 500 at-risk older people avoid the costly and hazardous effects of heat-related health complications. “It wasn’t unusual for the inside of my house to reach 90 degrees in the summer,” Mary Cunningham said, who despite having high blood pressure and asthma, has not had air conditioning since 1993. Until Council on Aging helped her in 2017, she worried the extreme temperatures would cause her condition to deteriorate even more. “My two grandbabies live with me, too, so I was worried about their health. Things are much better now. The window unit is small but it makes the summer much more comfortable.” Information on heat stress and heat stroke will be available at the event, as well as information on how our community’s vulnerable seniors can receive donated AC units and fans.

STATE SEARCHES FOR NEW FINANCIAL REGULATOR By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE – A quick “nationwide search” will be conducted to try to find a replacement for Florida’s top financial regulator. Gov. Rick Scott and the state Cabinet – Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and Attorney General Pam Bondi – agreed Friday to start taking applications June 4 to replace Office of Financial Regulation Commissioner Drew Breakspear, who announced his resignation last week amid pressure from Patronis. Applications will be accepted through June 22, with Scott and the cabinet potentially naming a replacement June 27. “We’ll known before the 27th if we didn’t have enough applicants,” Scott said during a
conference call Friday. “At that time, we can make a decision if we need to do something on a temporary basis.” Putnam said it would be ideal to avoid an interim replacement. “We’re going to know pretty quickly if that is adequate time or not,” Putnam said of the brief time to apply. No names were put forward June 8. Patronis, who spoke little during the brief call, had said earlier he had a temporary replacement in mind when he publicly informed Breakspear of his desire to change the agency’s leadership May 3. Breakspear’s office reports to the Financial Services Commission, which is comprised of Scott and the Cabinet. Whoever replaces Breakspear faces the possibility of being out of the job in early 2019 as Scott and Bondi are both term-limited from their current offices, as is Putnam,
who is running for governor. Patronis, who was appointed by Scott to the statewide office in 2017, is running in the November election to try to keep his seat. Former state Sen. Jeremy Ring, a Broward County Democrat who is challenging Patronis for the cabinet post, called June 6 for an investigation into Breakspear’s “forced” resignation. “Paying the bills of the state should not be partisan,” Ring said in a prepared statement. “The Cabinet – and the CFO in particular – have a responsibility to look out for the best interests of all Floridians, not just their rich friends.” In announcing his push to remove Breakspear, Patronis had pointed to a “lack of cooperation, responsiveness and communication” from Breakspear’s office. Patronis office last week expanded on the complaints, outlining a number of issues
to support Breakspear’s potential removal, from alleged poor decision-making and a failure to follow emerging trends and technology to “a lack of responsiveness to our office and others.” Breakspear initially fought back, disputing that the agency has shown an unwillingness to follow “emerging trends and technology” and saying that the agency “consistently meets with members of the public, businesses, and (Department of Financial Services) staff to address their questions and help them understand the agency’s role as regulator of Florida’s financial services industry.” But May 31, Breakspear submitted his resignation from the $135,158-a-year job, saying he would leave the post at the end of June “to ensure a smooth transition for the agency.” Breakspear has run the agency since the end of 2012.
INFORMATION SHARING AN ISSUE FOR SCHOOL-SAFETY PANEL
By NATHALIE SCZUBLEWSKI THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA SUNRISE – A panel tasked with investigating February’s deadly shooting at a south Florida high school June 8 heard a troubling account of a database designed to allow school officials and deputies to share information about students who could be dangerous. The information came during a discussion about school resource officers (SROs) as part of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission’s investigation into the Feb. 14 massacre at the Parkland high school that left 14 students and three faculty members dead. Nineteen-year-old Nikolas Cruz, who confessed to the killings, has been charged with 17 counts of murder in the Valentine’s Day shooting at the school he once attended. Cruz had a long and troubled history that included dozens of reports to local, state and federal authorities. The issue of the school resource officers held special significance for families and students affected by the mass shooting this week, after former Broward County deputy Scot Peterson, who was assigned to the school, spoke out publicly for the first time since the Valentine’s Day assault. Surveillance videos showed Peterson lurking outside the freshman building, where the attack took place, as gunshots resonated inside. Peterson was the only armed guard at the high school when the shooting began. “We just have to make sure that the people that we’re having protect our most valuable assets, are do-
ing this for the right reasons and they are fully qualified to do that,” commission member Max Schachter, whose 14-year-old son Alex was among the murdered students, told The News Service of Florida. “We want to make sure that it’s not their retirement plan to be an SRO and whether they have a bed-and-breakfast behind the school. We want to make sure that anyone who becomes an SRO is not afraid to take action to protect our children and potentially shoot an intruder to kill.” Commission member Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter Alaina was also killed, pressed Major Nichole Anderson of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office about the role of the resource officers. Petty focused on shortcomings in a database designed to capture information about troubled students. Petty wanted to know if the database collected information about students who are enrolled in the PROMISE program, a diversion program designed to keep kids who have committed certain non-violent crimes out of jail. Petty questioned whether the database permits “sharing of information and making sure you have a complete history or picture of the student.” “There’s supposed to be a database that was set up that an SRO could access when they’re looking at an individual’s conduct throughout the school,” Anderson said. “For whatever reason, that database isn’t up and running. So, if you don’t have that relationship or that communication with the administration at the school as well as deputies, then things fall through the crack and then you don’t know if this student has already been addressed for this issue before.” Petty seemed dismayed by the system described by Anderson, calling it “very reactive.” “An incident occurs and then there’s engagement with law enforcement,” Petty said. “I think best practices are proactive engagement between the district and law enforcement. Are you saying that’s not happening?” Anderson said it is inconsistent. “You have schools where you have that communication between the administration at the school and the school resource officer,” she said. “In other schools, you don’t have it as much. What I’m saying is, if you have a database to go to and both individuals you know are inputting or accessing the database, then you have more opportunity to understand and look at and get the big picture involving this particular conduct.” When asked by Petty about inconsistencies throughout the district, Anderson said: “You have different personalities at different schools.”
But Petty, who is running for a seat on the Broward County school board, was not satisfied, saying the current system effectively amounted to “no database” at all. “We have little hope of actually identifying and interceding in these events before something tragic happens,” he said. Broward County School Board Chief of Staff Jeff Moquin, however, contradicted Anderson’s testimony about the database. “I do want to make it clear the Broward County Public Schools does have a student database and that component of that student database does in fact include tracking of discipline,” he said. But Moquin’s assurance did little to assuage Schachter’s concerns. “I mean it just boggled my mind,” Schachter said after the meeting. “I do not understand how you can run a system where the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. How can BSO not see all these infractions and these kids that are committing these infractions are just laughing at us. They’re committing infractions in PROMISE, they’re committing infractions with the law and also the civil-citation program and there’s no communication? It just is ridiculous and it has got to be corrected.” Tony Montalto, whose daughter Gina was among the slain students, told the commission that he couldn’t help but notice the number of law enforcement officers present as he entered the BB&T Center where Friday’s meeting was held. “There’s more law enforcement protection in this room than in all five of our schools in Parkland everyday,” Montalto said during the public comment period. “Our students are the most important asset to this country. We need to prioritize to protect our most important assets.” As the meeting drew to a close, Lori Alhadeff, who is also running for the Broward school board, approached the podium holding a framed photo of her daughter Alyssa. “When my daughter Alyssa was shot in the heart, shot in the hand, and shot in the femoral artery, and shot in the spine five other times, BSO did not, and still does not, have direct live-time access to the cameras at Stoneman Douglas High School,” she said. “I want you to remember that when you are here asking the tough questions, please hold people accountable for what happened on Feb. 14. Where 17 lives were tragically taken. Please remember that my Alyssa, could be your daughter, your granddaughter.”
POLL POINTS TO TROUBLE FOR MANY BALLOT PROPOSALS
By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE – Only four of the 13 state constitutional amendments on the November ballot have enough voter support to be enacted, according to a poll from the Florida Chamber of Commerce. The poll, conducted in late May and early June, showed four amendments with the necessary 60 percent of voter support. They are: • Amendment One, which would expand the homestead property-tax exemption. It was placed on the ballot by the Legislature, with the chamber survey showing 67 percent of voters in support, 22 percent opposed and 11 percent undecided. • Amendment Three, which would require voter approval of gambling expansions in the state, including allowing casinos. The amendment, which was placed on the ballot through a voter petition drive backed by Disney World and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, was supported by 61 percent of voters, with 23 percent opposed and 15 percent undecided. • Amendment Seven, which would require the payment of death benefits when law enforcement officers, paramedics, cor-
rectional officers and other “first responders” are killed while performing their official duties. The measure, which came from the Constitution Revision Commission, also would establish a governance system for the 28 state and community colleges and require a supermajority vote by university boards of trustees and the university system’s Board of Governors when raising student fees. It has support from 80 percent of voters, with seven percent opposed and 13 percent undecided, the poll showed. • Amendment Eight, which would impose an eight-year term limit on school board members. It would also allow an alternative process for approving public schools, including charter schools, rather than by local school boards. It would establish a requirement for teaching civic literacy in public schools. The measure, which came from the Constitution Revision Commission, has support from 75 percent of voters, with 11 percent opposed and 15 percent undecided. In a memo sent Friday to members of the Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors, Mark Wilson, the organization’s president, noted support and opposition for the 13 amendments will be impacted by media campaigns seeking to sway voter opinion.
“In other words, these numbers will change as November approaches,” Wilson wrote. He also noted that with the large number of amendments on the Nov. 6 general-election ballot, the most since the 1998 election, “voter fatigue is certainly a concern of ours.” But he also said the survey showed nearly nine of every 10 voters said they planned to vote on the ballot measures. Some ballot measures fell short of the 60 percent approval requirement but were close in the survey. Among them was Amendment Nine, which would ban offshore oil drilling and vaping in workplaces and restaurants. It was supported by 55 percent of voters, with 31 percent in opposition and 14 percent undecided. Also, Amendment 12, which would establish a new ethics standard for public officials and impose a six-year lobbying ban on state elected officials, state agency heads and local elected officials, had support from 55 percent of voters, with 18 percent in opposition and 27 percent undecided. Among the measures with the lowest voter support was Amendment Four, which would restore voting rights to ex-
felons who have served their sentences. The measure, which was the result of a petition drive, had support from 40 percent of the voters, with 17 percent opposed. However, 43 percent of the voters said they were undecided, showing there is room for supporters of the measure to persuade voters to back it. Only 34 percent of voters supported Amendment Five, which came from the Legislature and would require a supermajority vote by the state House and Senate when enacting taxes or fees. Some 36 percent of the voters were in opposition, with 30 percent undecided, the poll showed. Another measure that would ban greyhound racing in the state had 47 percent support from the voters, with 36 percent in opposition and 17 percent undecided. Amendment 13, which came from the Constitution Revision Commission, is being contested in court by groups that support dog racing. The Florida Chamber of Commerce poll was conducted by Cherry Communications between May 25 and June 2. Some 605 “likely” voters were polled, including 249 Democrats. 237 Republicans and 119 others. The margin of error was four percentage points.

FIGHT OVER JUDICIAL VACANCY RATCHETS UP By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE – A state appeals court Tuesday morning quickly stepped into a legal battle about whether a Northeast Florida judge should be elected or appointed by Gov. Rick Scott and cleared the way for an appointment process to at least temporarily continue. The First District Court of Appeal issued an order after a flurry of activity that included Scott administration attorneys filing a request late Monday to block a ruling earlier in the day by Leon County Circuit Judge Charles Dodson. The lawsuit, filed by Jacksonville attorney David Trotti, is part of a handful of disputes in recent years about whether the governor has the power to fill certain judicial seats – or whether the seats should be filled through elections. Trotti contends that an upcoming vacancy created by the retirement of 4th Judicial Circuit Judge Robert Foster should be filled in the November election, while Scott’s lawyers say the position should be filled through appointment. Foster was expected to leave office Jan. 7, 2019, which would be the end of
his term, because of a mandatory retirement age. But on April 2, Foster sent a letter to Scott making the retirement effective Dec. 31, four business days ahead of schedule. The Scott administration takes the position that the governor’s acceptance of a judicial resignation before the start of an election-qualifying period creates a vacancy that will be filled by appointment, rather than election. The 4th Judicial Circuit is made up of Duval, Clay and Nassau counties. In the challenge filed by Trotti, Dodson ruled last week that the seat should be filled by election and issued an injunction against the Scott administration and a judicial nominating commission from moving forward with an appointment process. The state appealed Dodson’s ruling last week, which placed an automatic stay on the decision. But Monday, Dodson again ruled in favor of Trotti and vacated the automatic stay – and complained that the Scott administration had essentially ignored his earlier injunction. Dodson pointed to a May 16 hearing in which he said the nominating process should “cease immediately.”
“If the governor and secretary of state had any doubt about that, there should have been a motion for clarification or something of the like filed,” Dodson wrote Monday. “Instead it was as if I had not ruled. The nominating process kept going. My order was not even a bump in the road.” But Scott administration attorneys filed a motion late Monday with the 1st District Court of Appeal requesting reinstatement of the stay on Dodson’s earlier ruling. They said the Florida Constitution and earlier cases – including a case filed by Trotti in 2014 – make clear that Scott has the authority to appoint a replacement for Foster. The appeals court Tuesday morning issued an order giving Trotti until Friday to respond to the Scott administration’s motion. It also said the appointment process can at least temporarily move forward. “The automatic stay … shall remain in effect to permit the Fourth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission to continue its interview and nomination process, pending a final ruling on the (Scott’s administration’s) motion for review by this court,” the one-page order said.
Trotti, who lost the 2014 case, sought to qualify to run for Foster’s seat but was denied. Dodson’s ruling last week said Trotti should be listed on the state Division of Elections website as qualifying to run for the judgeship. Dodson wrote that the “creation of an artificial appointment” had occurred. But in the motion filed late Monday, Scott’s attorneys said Dodson’s order would put Trotti into office by “default.” Qualifying for judicial races ended last month. “Here, the undisputed facts establish that Judge Foster’s resignation was tendered and accepted by the governor before the election process commenced at the beginning of the candidate qualifying period,” the motion said. “The governor is therefore constitutionally authorized and obligated to fill the vacancy by appointment, and the secretary of state is prohibited from qualifying candidates for a judicial seat that will not be filled by election. Because appellee’s (Trotti’s) arguments are contrary to the language of the Florida Constitution and well-established precedent, he cannot demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits.”
WATER POLICY KEY FOR NEXT AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE – Maintaining Florida’s water supply, while balancing the growing needs of residents, farmers, tourists and businesses, is a priority for the candidates seeking to replace Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. The issue involves helping preserve diverse ecosystems, such as the Everglades and natural springs, without scuttling the economy. Candidates for agriculture commissioner are putting forward a variety of ideas, from continuing to educate residents on the need to conserve water to increasing the use of recycled or reclaimed water and limiting rural development. Republican candidate Matt Caldwell, a state House member from North Fort Myers, carried a 2016 House water bill that laid out policy goals for every region in the state and has been heavily involved in issues dealing with the Florida Forever land- preservation program. He pointed to a need for a partnership between water management districts and local governments “to construct and operate regional water supply facilities, including reservoirs, desalination, and re-use facilities.” Another GOP candidate, state Sen. Denise Grimsley of Sebring, echoes many other Florida Republicans in favoring the state, rather than the federal government, determining water-resource allocations. Grimsley also wants to expand on a South Florida Water Management District program that partners with private landowners to store water and expand the use of “conservation easements” through the state’s Rural & Family Lands Protection Program. Conservation easements keep land, often near water sources, from being developed while farmers and ranchers continue their operations. Putnam, who faces term limits this year and is running for governor, has made a priority of the Rural & Family Lands Protection Program. “We have to preserve farm and ranch lands, which serve as critical recharge areas for our vast aquifer,” Grimsley said. “This means capturing water, not letting it go to waste.” Republican candidate Baxter Troutman, a former state House member from Winter Haven, talked of a need to balance water usage and conservation, from “incorporating water usage when planning for future development” to using “reclaimed water for residential irrigation.”
“I am very interested in ‘best practice’ water management techniques and have implemented many of these in my own operation,” Troutman said. “I believe that widespread adoption of water management practices throughout the ag industry can have an immediate and long-term impact on both the quality and quantity of water available for all Floridians.” Mike McCalister, a Republican businessman from Plant City, expressed a need to get government agencies involved with water policy linked in the same system. “We must all work together in this critical and finite resource,” McCalister said. On the Democratic side, Homestead Mayor Jeff Porter talked of pushing the federal government for more Everglades funding and expanding statewide what he’s learned with a water treatment plant in Homestead. “This experience will be invaluable when addressing our state’s water needs,” Porter said. “Other candidates can talk about what they would do … my campaign is discussing what I have done.” Both he and fellow Democratic candidate David Walker, a biological scientist from Fort Lauderdale, talked of a need for more conservation, with the emphasis on educating Floridians. “Because 50 percent of water consumption is through irrigation, we need to limit the amount of watering to no more than twice a week and avoid irrigation when it rains,” Walker said. “We need to use reclaimed water when possible and plant native plants that are drought tolerant and need less irrigation. In addition, we need to use energy efficient appliances and only run the dishwasher when it is full.” Asked to balance the demands of the state, Walker, who favors concentrating development in alreadyexisting urban areas that “tend to have less lawn for watering and will have less water consumption,” said he’d want farmers to enroll in “agricultural best management practices,” which “apply cost-effective actions to conserve water and reduce the amount of pesticides, fertilizers, animal waste and other pollutants entering our water resources.” Walker also favors expanding a reservoir that state lawmakers approved in 2017 to help redirect water south from Lake Okeechobee into the Everglades by repurchasing “at least a significant portion of land from the Everglades Agricultural Area.” Porter indicated he would put residents first when it comes to drinking water, followed by farmers before businesses and tourists.
“Our elderly and children drink, bathe, and cook with the water our elected officials provide to them,” Porter said. “We can’t have another Flint, Mich., catastrophe where they changed water sources for financial reasons.” McCalister, a retired Army National Guard and Reserves colonel, noted the Department of Environmental Protection under the governor is the “lead agency” on water, air and land issues. Yet he also talked of a need for “improved and more effective cooperation and ‘interoperability’ between all government agencies dealing with Florida’s water policy, issues and concerns.” “Managing and protecting Florida’s water resources will require great cooperation, commitment and effort of all stakeholders to include government agencies, agricultural and industry participants and the public,” he said. Supporting conservation education, best practices for farmers and a need to tie development to future impacts, Troutman said “any comprehensive water policy must address environmental concerns.” “Our quality of life is directly tied to our environment. Florida is blessed with many natural wonders; from our beautiful springs, our forests, our amazing lakes and rivers, our beaches, and the Everglades,” Troutman said. “If we take care of our natural water systems, our urban cores will also benefit.” Caldwell said the balance lawmakers must address is prioritizing the water needs while respecting constitutionally protected property rights. “Building regional water supply facilities for urban use will relieve the pressure on the aquifer and surface water supplies, which are more than adequate to meet the need of rural and natural Florida,” Caldwell said. Besides pushing for more money for the Rural and Family Lands Protection program, Grimsley said the state needs to “aggressively” use money voters directed in 2014 for land and water preservation for water-quality improvement projects. Grimsley also said she’d appoint a deputy commissioner focused on water policy. “Our water supply challenges are nonpartisan and demand full time attention,” Grimsley said. “It is imperative FDACS (the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) continues to have a ‘seat at the table’ locally, regionally and statewide to ensure our water policy decisions are based on science and account for new crops, industries, and future demand on our water resources.”
FIGHT OVER JUDICIAL VACANCY RATCHETS UP THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Florida lawmakers this year passed a bill that limits prescribing of controlled substances for patients suffering from acute pain and mandates new continuing education requirements for health-care professionals as ways to combat the state’s growing opioid problem. To ensure that doctors, nurses and other professionals are aware of the new rules and requirements, representatives from eight health care boards will meet June 21 in Orlando for the first “Joint Committee on Controlled Substances” meeting. The group – comprised of repre-
sentatives from the boards of Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy and Podiatric Medicine and the Council on Physician Assistants – will meet to discuss proposed changes to the rules regulating medical doctors and osteopathic physicians and when they can prescribe controlled substance for patients, according to an agenda. Among other things, the proposed changes alter the definition of “acute pain” and eliminate from the rules the description that the pain “is generally time limited and is responsive to opioid therapy, among other therapies.” The Legislature limited the prescribing of controlled
substances for acute pain but, after lobbying by medical groups, agreed to exclude patients who suffer pain stemming from terminal conditions, end-of-life or palliative care or certain traumatic injuries. The proposed changes to the medicine board and osteopathic board rules track the legislative exclusions. The various health-care boards held a public meeting in April on the new law, but the June 21 gathering will be the first official meeting of the Joint Committee on Controlled Substances. The group will also elect a chair and a vice chair. The proposed rule changes and a copy of the agenda can be found here.
