Ballet Pensacola offers a Fresh Take on a Classic Tradition By Gina Castro
Every family has their own Christmas traditions—whether it is hand-picking this year’s Christmas tree or driving around town to see Christmas lights. For many in Pensacola, Christmas means seeing The Nutcracker at least once. For a ballet made in 1892, The Nutcracker remains an American classic. Although The Nutcracker and ballet in general is beautiful and classical, ballet can sometimes be hard to follow for those not immersed in the form. However, Richard Steinert, Ballet Pensacola’s artistic director, makes an effort to liven up this traditional piece and make it more accessible to a variety of audiences. “I think this production was born more out of fear than inspiration,” Steinert said. “I was afraid of people leaving my production of The Nutcracker feeling tired. We set out to do something classical and fun by adding more entertainment values that fit today’s audience more than the people from 1892.” One way Ballet Pensacola keeps The Nutcracker fresh is by making sure the piece feels new to both the dancers and the audience by adding new accessories and modernizing the costumes. “We got new Flower costumes that are a little more contemporary but still inspired by the classics,” said Christine Duhon, Ballet Pensacola costume director. “They are a little shorter and a little more form-fitting. The dancers love them and it makes them feel inspired, and it makes us feel inspired.” Ballet Pensacola’s production of The Nutcracker is a balance of tradition and contemporary. Duhon makes small changes to modernize the classic piece. Usually the tutus in the Snow Realm are just white, but the Pensacola production uses shades of pale pink, blue and white along with rhinestones
to present a shimmery snow and ice inspired tutu. These subtle changes in the length and color of the tutus keep The Nutcracker fresh and new, Duhon said. “You often don’t think about the impact the set and costumes have on the audience, but the audiences are a little bit more sophisticated than they use to be,” Steinert said. “So they want it to be a tutu, but they don’t want to look at the same tutu on every girl all of the time. They expect changes in the costumes. They expect for things to move a little more quickly. They expect some sort of magical things to happen with the lighting or with the set.” The audience today is far more accustomed to technology than the audience in 1892. In order to cater to a modern audience, Ballet Pensacola spends more time and money on their production of The Nutcracker than any of its other productions. Their use of technology in the set transports the audience into the story of The Nutcracker via unique set designs including a two-story house split on stage and a Drosselmeyer toy shop rising from below the stage all before the audience’s eyes. Their snow machine also brings
Mother Ginger in Pensacola Ballet’s 2017's performance the ballet to life by adding life-like snow to the wintery scenes. The influx of technology puts a spin on tradition without losing the magic of a classic. Including unique technologies isn’t the only way Ballet Pensacola updates The Nutcracker. “Most companies when they go to the land of the Sweets, there will be a Chinese dance and a Spanish dance and an Indian dance,” Steinert said. “And to me, that just borders on offensive. I don’t want anyone to go to my ballet and ask, ‘does anyone else find this offensive?’” Ballet Pensacola makes an effort to update the content and message for their audiences. One way they achieve this is by changing the ethnic-based dances to dancing sweets that represent people from all over the world. The ballet also changed the scene from Clara’s brother breaking her nutcracker toy to Clara breaking the toy herself. They decided to make this stylistic decision because they didn’t want to send the message that boys are villainous. Steinert said that this alteration also encourages the audience to sympathize with Clara. The ballet also reduces violence in The Nutcracker.
WE’RE SOCIAL
“I think it is time to have no guns in The Nutcracker,” Steinert said. “We have made an effort in our productions to reduce the amount of violence. We did Romeo and Juliet without all of the sword scenes and all of the killing because I don’t want killing on my stage.” Steinert replaces the violent scenes with humor to amplify the Christmas feelings of joy and love. The ballet’s alterations focus on the family friendly and fun aspects of holiday stories. Ballet Pensacola’s alterations present The Nutcracker with a unique Pensacolian twist. “You really must, if you work with any classical pieces, find a way to balance being respectful to and inclusive to the original style and intent and still market it to your audience,” Steinert said. Performances of The Nutcracker will be held at the historic Saenger Theatre on the following dates: • December 21 at 7 pm • December 22 at 7 pm • December 23 at 1:30 pm For more information, visit balletpensacola.com or pensacolasaenger. com.

Continuing its practice of public involvement, The Florida Bar seeks a new member of the public to serve on its governing board. The Board of Governors member will replace Lawrence W. Tyree of Orlando, whose second two-year term expires June 2019. Since 1987, two public members have served on the Bar’s 52-member governing board, after the Supreme Court of Florida approved the organization’s request to have nonlawyer representation on the board. Only 12 other state bar associations have public members on their governing boards. A screening committee of The Florida Bar Board of Governors has been appointed to review the applications for the public member position, conduct final interviews and make recommendations to the Bar’s governing board during its March meeting in Washington, D.C. The board will then recommend three people to the Supreme Court of Florida, and the court will appoint one of the three nominees to the board. The Board of Governors oversees the Bar’s lawyer discipline program, continuing legal education programs, legislative activities and the overall administration of The Florida Bar. Board members average 200-300 hours
per year on Bar business, depending on committee assignments. Although attorney members of the Bar’s governing board pay their own expenses related to their attendance at six board meetings and other events held each year, nonlawyer board members are reimbursed for “reasonable travel and related expenses for attending official bar functions.” The new board member would serve a two-year term commencing June 28, 2019. Public members are not allowed by rule to serve more than two consecutive terms. Most of the Bar’s board is apportioned according to Florida’s 20 judicial circuits, with attorney members elected by lawyers in their locality. There are four additional out-of-state representatives. The other public member currently serving on The Florida Bar’s Board of Governors is Sharon B. Middleton of Ponte Vedra Beach. Anyone interested in serving as a public member may click here to download and complete the application form from the Bar’s website, www.floridabar.org, or call The Florida Bar headquarters at 850-561-3127 to obtain the application. Completed applications must be received by Joshua E. Doyle, Executive Director, The Florida Bar, 651 E. Jefferson St., Tallahassee, FL

City of Pensacola announces fifth annual community survey results Two-thirds of City residents say that Pensacola is on the right track according to the Haas Center’s fifth annual community survey. Residents are satisfied with the appearance of the City, the ease of obtaining information and the value of the services they receive. “Pensacola continues to be on the right track and these survey results validate that what we have been focusing on during my administration matches what is important to the community,” Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward said in announcing the results. “There is always room for improvement and we take these results very seriously. Public safety and stormwater infrastructure have been a major focus the last few years and it shows in the survey results.” Other key findings in the report included: • Overall, residents are highly satisfied with core City services • Recreational facilities and opportunities also consistently earn high marks • Some residents have concerns with streets, sidewalks, and lighting • Residents continue to rank as their top priorities Police and Fire services In 2017, 11 percent of respondents expressed the City was moving in the wrong direction. This year, the percentage of respondents who expressed the City was going in the wrong direction dropped to 9.1 percent. The Haas Center report flagged five “areas of concern”: sidewalk, street lights, streets, community centers, and City appearance. The City has been working to address each of those areas. This year’s survey shows that the $13.8 million the City is spending to resurface 1825 blocks of city streets may have affected resident satisfaction with the condition of streets. Over the last year, construction crews have been milling and resur-
facing streets throughout Pensacola as well as replacing antiquated cast-iron gas mains with modern, medium-density polyethylene piping. Money to fund those improvements was budgeted from Local Option Sales Tax revenues, and work has been ongoing during 2018. Responses to questions in this year’s survey show that City staff should continue to focus on stormwater infrastructure. Stormwater infrastructure has been a longstanding topic of discussion in the last two years. Overall, residents seem to be satisfied with recent upgrades the City has completed over the last two years in response to citizen concerns. The International City/County Managers Association recommends citizen surveying as a way to get feedback from citizens who may not be able to attend council meetings or participate in public workshops. This fifth survey helps put in place a neutral benchmark that the City can use to rate its services in the future and determine how best to utilize its limited resources to prioritize and improve city services to keep Pensacola headed in the right direction. The Haas Center administered the survey across each of Pensacola’s seven city council districts over a four-week period that began in October 2018. In total, 522 people completed the survey. Those responses coincide with an approximate 4.27 percent margin of error (+/-) at a 95 percent confidence level. In other words, a sample of City of Pensacola residents will differ no more than +/4.27 percent from a survey that included all City of Pensacola residents. The complete report along with the survey instrument is available on the City’s website: https://www.cityofpensacola.com/DocumentCenter/ View/16502/Resident-SatisfactionSurvey---City-2018-Final

Animal shelter offering special adoption rates in December It’s the perfect time of the year to adopt a friend from the Escambia County Animal Shelter. The Escambia County Animal Shelter is offering a special reduced adoption fee of $50 for all dogs and puppies and $20 for all cats and kittens during the month of December. Adoption fees include altering of the animal (spay or neutering services), microchip, heart worm test and the initial vaccinations, including rabies
vaccinations. Escambia County residents will be required to purchase a license at the time of adoption. This is an additional $11 over the adoption fees and is paid separately. While Escambia County Animal Shelter staff want every pet to have a home for the holidays, they highly discourage giving pets as presents, especially surprise presents. If your friend or loved one has expressed interest in pet adoption,
consider wrapping a food bowl and treats to put under the Christmas tree and coming to the shelter together to pick out a lifelong pet that’s right for their lifestyle, family and budget. The Escambia County Animal Shelter is located at 200 W. Fairfield Drive and is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, contact the shelter at 595-3075.
GSTC Counselors available to help Virginia College students
Escambia County School District’s George Stone Technical College (GSTC) is encouraging students who were enrolled in programs at Virginia College to consider GSTC as they ask themselves, “What now?” “We offer programs that can lead to a new career. Our students gain the skills and professional certifications needed to work in their desired field,” said GSTC Principal T.J. Rollins. “Some of our programs may be exactly what their students need to continue their life’s plan.” Virginia College described their program on line as, “Virginia College is a private for-profit college, located primarily in the southeastern United States. Virginia College offers classes, certificates, diplomas, and degrees related to specific professions, such as health and medical, information technology, business, office management and criminal justice.” George Stone Technical College is operated by the Escambia County School District and offers 29 technical education and adult education programs. Their career programs prepare students for future careers in a wide range of fields, including some that are similar to what was being offered at Virginia College, such as: • Health: Emergency Medical Technician and Home Health Aide/Nursing Assistant • Information technology: Computer Systems & Information Technology (CSIT), Cybersecurity, Applied Network
Support Services (CISCO) and Network Systems Administration • Business/Office Management: Accounting Operations, Administrative Office Specialist • Criminal Justice: Correctional Officer, Law Enforcement, Crossover from Correctional Officer to Law Enforcement Office, and Crossover from Law Enforcement Officer to Correctional Officer “We urge Virginia College’s students to take time to consider their employment goals and to come in with their transcripts and meet with one of our counselors and one of our instructors,” Rollins said. “After working one-on-one, with our personnel they can determine which of our programs will help them continue to move forward. “We know some feel like this has set them back months. Again, we might be able to help with that concern as well because we have students starting the beginning of every month, so they probably will not have to wait long for the class they need to get started,” Rollins continued. To find out more about programs available at GSTC, go to their web page at www.GeorgeStoneCollege.edu. Their online application can be found there as well as links to learn about the variety of Career-to-a-Year programs offered. ITT students with questions about GSTC should call 941-6200, ext. 2129.

R-Ky., has agreed to hold the Senate swearing-in ceremony for Scott on the afternoon of Jan. 8, which will be the day that inauguration ceremonies will be held in Tallahassee and DeSantis will become Florida’s 46th governor.
Scott will transition to his role as the state’s junior senator, joining U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in giving Florida two Republican senators in the nation’s capital for the first time since the Reconstruction era.
The issue of when Scott would leave office drew extra scrutiny this year when it remained unclear whether Scott or the incoming governor would appoint three new justices to the Florida Supreme Court in January. But the issue became largely moot, when the state Supreme Court ruled that the appointment power rests “solely” with the new governor. DeSantis, in consultation with Scott, is reviewing 11 judges and lawyers who have been advanced by a nominating commission to replace justices Barbara Pariente, R. Fred Lewis and Peggy Quince. The three justices are leaving the state’s highest court on Jan. 8 because they have reached the mandatory retirement age.
ELECTIONS SUPERVISORS SEEK ANSWERS ON AMENDMENT 4 By DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
SARASOTA – Florida officials don’t have a plan for how to carry out a constitutional amendment that restores the right to vote to more than a million Floridians convicted of felonies, state Division of Elections director Maria Matthews told county elections supervisors Tuesday. Amendment 4, approved by nearly 65 percent of voters last month, “automatically” restores voting rights for convicted felons who have completed their sentences, paid restitution and court costs and fulfilled probation requirements. The amendment, which goes into effect Jan. 8, excludes murderers and felony sex offenders. “The state is putting a pause button on felon identification files,” Matthews told supervisors gathered at the Westin hotel in Sarasota for a winter conference, referring to lists sent to county elections officials that flag people who are ineligible to vote. Matthews said the state has about 30 days before the amendment goes into effect. Among the many issues at play are definitions in the amendment, such as when a “sentence” is completed, she pointed out. Sentences can be converted to “civil judgments,” Matthews said. “That’s why we need this time to research it and make sure that we are providing the appropriate guidance as to what do these terms mean and how to implement the will of the people, which was their intent that, if someone has completed their sentence, that they should be able to register to vote. And that’s what we’re going to do,” Matthews said. But Polk County Supervisor of Elec-
tions Lori Edwards pressed Matthews on how long it would take for the state to provide guidance about the amendment, and whether the Legislature – which begins holding committee meetings next week but does not convene its 2019 session until March – would be responsible for implementing the voting-registration change. “I think that is something that is still under debate,” Matthews said. “We’re hoping within the next month, this will flesh out so that we’ll be able to provide you the guidance that you need.” But Matthews’ answers left Edwards and others dissatisfied. “We’re getting a lot of inquiries from our constituents, from the public. People are very aware of this and they’re wanting to act. We came to the conference today looking for direction from the state Division of Elections. As you know, the secretary of state reminds us that he’s the chief elections official. And they didn’t help. They didn’t give any direction to us. And they wouldn’t give us a timeline of when they will,” Edwards told The News Service of Florida following Matthews’ presentation. Speaking to reporters Tuesday morning, Secretary of State Ken Detzner, who was appointed by Gov. Rick Scott, said it’s up to the Legislature and the Board of Executive Clemency to draft a blueprint for the amendment. “We need to get some direction from them as to implementation, definitions, all the kinds of things that the supervisors were asking,” Detzner said. “It would be inappropriate for us to charge off in a direction without some leadership from them.” But legislative leaders haven’t decided whether they need to act.
Senate President Bill Galvano, RBradenton, said in a recent interview that there are “a lot of practical aspects to how these new voters will come online and what procedures would take place.” Although he did not support the amendment, Galvano promised “whatever we (the Legislature) determine our role is, if any, is going to be to fulfill the will of the people in a diligent manner.” House Speaker Jose Oliva also said he wanted to ensure voters’ wishes are carried out. “I think it (the amendment) was rather broad but I think that the intent of the people was to make sure that those people who have paid their price to society for certain crimes were able to become a participant in our electoral process again. That part of it is pretty clear,” Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, said. “I think that, like everything on the fringes, there is ‘what constitutes this’ and ‘what constitutes that.’ … I don’t in any way plan to either slow-play that or restrain it in any way.” State elections officials currently send lists of people who have been convicted of felonies to county supervisors, who then remove them from the voting rolls. County officials are hoping the state will expand that process to identify people who have been convicted of felonies but who are eligible to vote under the amendment. The new system should involve “one more step” for Matthews’ agency, Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer said. “They need to verify that a person has completed all the terms of their probation – fines, restitution, whatever it is – and then that would be a green light,”
Latimer told the News Service. “It just seems to me they need to change a little bit of their process.” Matthews repeatedly pointed out that voters now must affirm that they are eligible to vote when they fill out registration forms. “That is no different. That doesn’t change,” after the amendment goes into effect next month, she said. But Manatee County elections supervisor Mike Bennett, a former state senator, also pushed the state to come up with a uniform method of interpreting the constitutional amendment. “We all have people coming into our offices right now, saying ‘I’m here to vote,’ and we have to explain to them what the issue is,” Bennett told Matthews. “I don’t need 67 explanations. I would rather have your office clarify to the public why this is not going to happen on Jan. 8.” But Howard Simon, the former executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, which was one of the backers of Amendment 4, maintains that the amendment is selfimplementing. The onus is on government officials to confirm the accuracy of information provided by individuals registering to vote, Simon said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “So I’m not sure how much guidance the supervisors need from the state, and I don’t think there’s any role at all for the Legislature,” Simon told the News Service. “If a Florida citizen has completed all the terms of their sentence and can honestly affirm that, on Jan. 8, they are eligible to register to vote, there is nothing that the state can do or should do to delay that.” – News Service staff writer Christine Sexton contributed to this report.

AIR FORCE STEERS FIGHTER JETS TO TYNDALL
By JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE – Florida politicians are quickly giving support to a U.S. Air Force recommendation to use supplemental funds to eventually locate three squadrons of F-35 fighters at hurricane-ravaged Tyndall Air Force Base. The Panhandle military base, a major economic engine in the region, was severely damaged by Hurricane Michael in October. “We have recommended that the best path forward to increase readiness and use money wisely is to consolidate the operational F-22s formerly at Tyndall in Alaska, Hawaii and Virginia, and make the decision now to put the next three squadrons of F-35s beyond those for which we have already made decisions at Tyndall,” Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson said in a statement. Under the proposal, up to 72 F-35s would be based at Tyndall, beginning in 2023. U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn, a Republican from Panama City, and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a Miami Republican, issued statements Dec. 7 backing the recommendation.
Hurricane Michael Oct. 10 damaged 95 percent of the buildings at Tyndall – including aircraft hangars and flight operations structures – leading to fears that the base, where pilots have trained to fly F-22s, would be downsized or shuttered permanently. “These squadrons of F-35s are the future of the Air Force and will strengthen our national security, while reinforcing
the role of our airmen at Tyndall Air Force Base,” Dunn said. “It’s clear the Air Force recognizes the importance of investing in Tyndall as a part of our defense strategy and we are working to get the base back to mission ready capability as soon as possible.” The base has employed about 11,000 military and civilian personnel. A Pentagon study in 2017 put a $3.4 billion value
on the facilities and projected the base’s annual economic impact – combining payroll, expenditures and jobs created – is $596 million. When the Air Force announced a resumption of operations in November, the F-22 stealth fighters and related personnel that had trained at the facility east of Panama City were being spread across the country, from Eglin Air Force Base outside Fort Walton Beach to Virginia, Hawaii and Alaska. “While Tyndall has a long road to full recovery, I am proud of what the base leadership, Air Force personnel and their families have been able to accomplish in the weeks since the storm destroyed most of the base,” Rubio said. Gov. Rick Scott, who was elected to the U.S. Senate last month and whose term begins Jan. 8, called the funding request “great news.” “TeamTyndall will be the future home of 3 squadrons of F-35s,” Scott tweeted Dec. 7. “I spoke to SecAFOfficial last night & she assured me that the Air Force is committed to rebuilding Tyndall AFB. We’ve been working for months & will continue to work until Tyndall gets fully rebuilt.”

The most high-profile lawsuit is a challenge to the state’s ban on smoking medical marijuana. The plaintiffs in the case include John Morgan, the Orlando trial lawyer who largely bankrolled the 2016 amendment, known as Amendment 2. It was unclear immediately which legal fights the DeSantis administration might abandon after the former congressman and Nuñez take office on Jan. 8. “The governor-elect is considering a variety of options on this matter, along with a number of other important issues, and will be discussing these further as we move forward with our transition and administration,” DeSantis transition spokesman Dave Vasquez said in an email when asked to clarify which litigation Nuñez was referring to. But, like many others, DeSantis has expressed frustration with delays in the rollout of the amendment. Nuñez reiterated that frustration this week. “In our discussions, in our involvement in transition, I think he has noted that, sort of the slow pace is something that could potentially be a problem. He wants to make sure that that’s addressed. But I know publicly he has stated he is not interested in continuing the lawsuit,” she said. One of DeSantis’ top transition advisors is U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Panhandle Republican who was a fierce supporter of medical marijuana when he was in the state House and has continued his advocacy following his election to Congress in 2016. DeSantis will “faithfully execute the will of the people on medical marijuana,” Gaetz said in a text Friday morning. “As the author of Florida’s first medical marijuana laws, I’m comforted to know conditions will improve for patients under a governor fully committed to this objective. The governor-elect and I have dis-
cussed a variety of strategies. I suspect specifics will be refined in consultation with the health care advisory committee to the transition and Gov.-elect Desantis’s selections for surgeon general and general counsel,” Gaetz said. When asked whether DeSantis plans to drop the appeal in the Florigrown case, Gaetz said the issue is “one of the specifics that I’m sure our new governor will take under advisement.” According to Nuñez, who also said she couldn’t answer specific questions related to the licensing caps or the smoking ban, DeSantis believes most issues could be fixed by the Legislature, which begins its 2019 session March 5. The new administration – which, under the amendment, is responsible for implementation of the amendment and oversight of the marijuana industry – will play a major role, Nuñez indicated. “Certainly, whoever is heading up that agency has a responsibility to implement. I think he views whoever heads up that agency, whoever is in charge of that particular area, has a responsibility to do so efficiently and effectively without sort of delaying the process, whether it’s how quickly you can get your ID cards, to ensuring that people have access,” she said. The Office of Compassionate Use has come under harsh criticism, publicly and privately, by lawmakers, patients and would-be marijuana operators, who accuse the agency, a division of the Department of Health, of dragging its feet to craft regulations related to the marijuana industry. At one point, patients waited for months before receiving state-issued identification cards showing they were eligible for the marijuana treatment. The approval is required for patients to purchase marijuana products.
Agriculture Commissionerelect Nikki Fried, a Democrat who was once a medical-marijuana lobbyist, called Nuñez’s comments “encouraging” and said she looks forward to speaking with DeSantis “about how we can correctly implement the Constitution as approved by 71 percent of Floridians.” Fried, a lawyer, played a role in the crafting of the state’s marijuana laws. “If DeSantis is serious about moving patient access forward, I welcome that wholeheartedly and would love to work with him in any way to get sick and suffering residents of our state the medicine they need,” she said in a statement. The many investors and prospective operators seeking entry into Florida’s restricted medical marijuana industry also are likely to welcome a shift in state officials’ attitude toward pot. “Actions speak louder than words but what they’re saying so far seems to indicate that they’re willing to move away from the obstructionist position of the Scott administration and move toward fulfilling the will of more than 71 percent of Floridians and hopefully doing the right thing to implement the amendment,” Ben Pollara, who is a plaintiff in the smoking-ban lawsuit, told the News Service. Pollara was a senior adviser to Fried’s campaign and is co-chairman of her inaugural committee. But operators already doing business in the state, where licenses have sold for upwards of $70 million, may be more cautious. “I believe change is coming. This is an evolving industry, and we look forward to working with the Legislature and the new administration,” said Ron Watson, a lobbyist who represents operators currently doing business in the state and others who want to gain entry.
