From Bayou to Boiler: The 33rd Annual Crawfish Festival Returns to Bartram Park
written by Tanner Yea photo by Guy Stevens
S
pring has finally sprung, and that means a Pensacola tradition is once again starting to boil up. From Friday, April 28 until Sunday, April 30, the 33rd annual Pensacola Crawfish Festival will be held at Bartram Park. Starting in 1984 as a small gathering, the Pensacola Crawfish Festival has blossomed into a landmark celebration of Southern and Creole food, music and culture.
“The original event was held by Shanahan’s, a local Pensacola hangout,” said Adelene Lovelace, the Executive Director of the Fiesta of Five Flags, the organization that puts on the Crawfish Festival and several other Pensacola events. “When Shanahan’s closed, Fiesta purchased the festival from them.” The crustacean that the South calls crawfish has different names depending on the region: names like crayfish, crawdads, freshwater lobsters, mountain lobsters, mudbugs and yabbies. Crayfish are closely related to lobsters, being in the same infraorder of Astacidea. These little creatures can be found all throughout the world, but according to the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center, as of 2005 roughly 95% of US crayfish are harvested in Louisiana –
hence its close association and love in the South. The Crawfish Festival is not just an important cultural event for the locals of the city – it also serves as a way to boost our economy. According to Visit Pensacola, the official tourism organization for the city, the Crawfish Festival brings over $1.5 million of revenue into our local economy. This is not just from the festival, but outside tourists spending at our local businesses as well. “Crawfish and Cajun music enthusiasts come from the surrounding areas for the weekend,” said Bridget Middleton, Event Coordinator at Fiesta of Five Flags. During 2016, over 16,000 pounds of crawfish were served at the festival, and Middleton expects that much, if not more this year. “Our crawfish
vendor, Cordova Crawfish Company, is returning for a second year after last year’s rave reviews,” she said. “I don’t think you will find the quality, preparation and flavors of our crawfish anywhere else.” At its heart, the Crawfish Festival is a food festival, so in addition to crawfish, other southern fare like gumbo, etoufee, crab cakes and more will be offered. Fiesta of Five Flags has also gained a new liquor partnership with country music star Kenny Chesney’s rum brand, Blue Chair Bay Rum. The Crawfish Festival isn’t only about food – entertainment and live performances will be happening all weekend. On their main concert stage, different zydeco and cajun bands will be performing each evening: Grammy-award winning Chubby Carrier & The

Bayou Swamp Band on Friday, Voodoo Gumbo on Saturday, and Zydefunk featuring Rockin’ Dopsie Jr. on Sunday afternoon. “We’ll also have a children’s area, where families can purchase tickets to participate in our many activities,” said MargaretAnne West, the PR and Marketing Coordinator for Fiesta of Five Flags. “Our wonderful face painters will be back again this year, in addition to a variety of games, arts and crafts.” Another big draw for the fest is the Annual Cat Country 98.7 Crawfish Eating Contest, which is divided into Kids, Adult and CrawDADDY contests. The first two are judged on speed – each contestant is given a to-go box of crawfish and tries to be the first to finish. The CrawDADDY contest, however, is timed – contestants are given a
full box of crawfish, and the winner is determined on who ate the most crawfish as soon as the buzzer sounds. “This event is for people of all ages. It’s so great to see families bonding over big plates of crawfish and Cajun music in a beautiful park,” said West. “It’s an unbeatable weekend.” The 33rd annual Pensacola Crawfish Festival will take place from Friday to Sunday, April 28, 29 and 30 in Bartram Park in downtown Pensacola. Admission is $5 per day, or $10 for the weekend, and children 12 and under recieve free admission. If you go before 3 pm on April 28, admission is free for all ages – those with an active military ID enjoy free admission for the entire day. The festival takes place on Friday from 12 pm to 11 pm, Saturday from 10 am to 11 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 5pm.

By Karen McAferty Morris
On one of Pensacola’s idyllic warm, sunny winter afternoons this past January, a dozen women assembled at St. John’s Cemetery, a 26acre expanse scattered by native magnolia, oak, and sycamore located on G St. between Garden and Cervantes. Carrying paper and chalks, they paused to contemplate the graves of women like Occie Clubbs, Florence Thiot Milner, and Lola Lee Daniell Bruington, three of the founders of an organization they belong to called Pen Women. They were there to make gravestone rubbings as part of an effort to appreciate these talented women who were Pensacola’s early- to mid20th century poets, historians, and educators. Today’s Pensacola Pen Women continues the tradition of these early founders in supporting and networking with fellow artists and writers, and in 2018 will celebrate its 75th birthday. In their recent monthly meetings, they have focused attention on the Pensacola chapter’s heritage, which they will honor with a show at the Wright Place from May 9-June 11 called Pen-Sational: Our Pen Women Legacy Continues. Mara Viksnins, the chapter’s president and driving force behind the historical and artistic project, explains, “We are excited to celebrate our 75th anniversary with our show at the Wright Place, which will feature art, poetry, and music. We will host a celebration there on Mothers’ Day, May 14, 8-11 a.m., with a special performance by guitarist and singer, Xaris Waltman.” Included in the show will be Viksnins’ watercolor “Coming Off the Pedestal II.” She notes, “The writing within the painting comes from personal letters written by young girls during the 1920’s. There
was a deep desire at the time for young women to become more selfsufficient and join the working force. Their fashions reflected the changing times . . . shorter skirts, shorter hairstyles and more functional dress. The ‘Flapper’ was young, independent, smoking cigarettes and drinking illegal liquor. This is the generation that fostered and gave women the right to vote and resulted in the formation of organizations such as the National League of American Pen Women.” Though the 40-member local chapter today is composed mostly of visual artists, its founders were writers. UWF’s Pace Library’s Special Collections Department holds various documents of Pen Women Clubbs, Bruington, and Milner. Clubbs, daughter of A.V. Clubbs, was a schoolteacher and later principal (of Agnes McReynolds Elementary School), and wrote an unfinished biography of Stephen Mallory, Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate States of America. Bruington, who attended Vassar, was also an educator, as well as a nurse at Fort Dix and Bellvue Hospital. Books with Florence Milner’s poetry are also at the Pace Library. Pen Women’s Pensacola chapter is part of the National League of American Pen Women, whose motto is “Linking Creative Women Since 1897,” the year when Marian Longfellow O’Donoghue (Henry W. Longfellow’s niece) gathered fellow female journalists to begin a “progressive press union” since females were not allowed in the National Press Club. NLAPW members have included Grandma Moses, Georgia O’Keefe, Eudora Welty, Pearl S. Buck, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Maya Angelou. One of the most remarkable women in Pen Women history was Vinnie Ream,
The NLAPW website describes her like this: “One of the earliest members of the organization was sculptress Vinnie Ream. In an era when women artists were not considered important, young Vinnie earned permission to sculpt a bust of President Abraham Lincoln while he worked at his desk in the White House. In 1866 after Lincoln’s assassination, at age 18 she won the Congressional commission to carve the life-size marble statue of Abraham Lincoln that stands in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.” Viksnins acknowledges that “The many paths taken by Pen Women nationally and locally in the past have added a whole new dimension to our organization. They were the pioneers who shaped the roles of women in society and were instrumental in setting the stage for the future. They took the long, hard road in times when women were not acknowledged nor respected for their artistic gifts. We find ourselves grateful and more interested than ever in keeping our heritage alive, respecting it, studying it and learning from it.” The Wright Place show’s chair Carol Loethen advises that it can be viewed during office hours at the First Methodist Church, 7:30-4:30 p.m., M-F. If the Wright Place is locked, visitors can go to the office and ask for entrance. Loethen adds, “The church is the oldest Methodist church in Florida and has a congregation of over 3000. Since the church’s founding in 1821, they have had a long history of supporting the creative arts in the church and in the community.” New members to the Pensacola chapter of Pen Women are welcome, and anyone desiring information about attending one of the Pen Women’s monthly meetings can contact Mara Viksnins at maravee24@ icloud.com.
versity of West Florida students pursuing teaching careers in STEM fields, or science, technology, engineering and mathematics. “Eighteen STEM majors will become Robert Noyce Scholars and receive funding for the cost of attending UWF during their junior and senior years,” said Dr. John Pecore, the principal investigator. He proposed and will administer the NSF grant. Pecore is an associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Educational Leadership in UWF’s College of Education and Professional Studies. To be eligible to become a Noyce Scholar, students must be pursuing a UWF-Teach degree. Through a collaboration between the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering and the College of Education and Professional Studies, UWF-Teach students graduate in four years with a Bachelor of Arts degree in a STEM field and Florida grades six through 12 professional teacher certification. Students complete the content of a regular science or math major along with education coursework and practical teaching experience. The Noyce Scholarship Grant will fund the participation of the 18 UWF-Teach Noyce Scholars in a citizenbased education research project where they will collaborate with a Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering faculty member and a STEM master mentor to design lessons that elicit middle or high school
each highly qualified Noyce scholar will work with an average of 150 different students per year for a total of approximately 750 students every five years. Eighteen Noyce Scholars will impact an estimated 13,500 students every five years in high-need school districts,” Pecore said. Students applying to receive a Noyce Scholarship must maintain a minimum GPA, submit faculty recommendations, write a two-page essay and sit for an interview. “The goal of the Noyce program is to recruit the best and brightest STEM majors who want to pursue a teaching career in high-needs school districts,” Pecore said. In addition to funding the studies of juniors and seniors who become Noyce Scholars while pursuing their UWF-Teach degrees, the $1.3 million NSF grant will fund recruitment of students, with a special focus on recruiting underrepresented minorities into the STEM teaching field. The project supports eligible dual-enrolled freshmen and sophomore STEM students at UWF, Pensacola State College and Northwest Florida State College. Support comes in the form of teaching experience in conjunction with coursework and a summer internship at a middle or high school in a highneeds school district. “The idea is early and often,” Pecore said. “We want to get STEM majors into the classroom as early in their
periences in the school setting are invaluable.” Besides funding 18 Noyce Scholars and supporting recruitment of STEM majors into the teaching field, the NSF grant is also dedicated to supporting graduates during their first few years of teaching. Pecore said one of the ways to support new teachers is to provide continual opportunities for professional development. “By collaborating with school districts, UWF-Teach graduates will receive additional supports to ensure their success as a novice teacher, increasing the likelihood that Noyce scholars will remain in the teaching profession and continue to impact thousands of students,” Pecore said. In addition to administering the grant during its five-year duration, Pecore will also conduct research associated with it. “We want to determine what factors encourage STEM majors to consider teaching careers and what factors contribute to their retention in the teaching profession,” he said. Dr. Jaromy Kuhl, chair of the mathematics and statistics department at UWF, is the co-principal investigator of the NSF grant. The other two coprincipal investigators are Kirk Bradley from Pensacola State College and Sean Psujek from Northwest Florida State University.

The 2017 Mickey Newbury Gathering Announced The New Malibu Lounge in Warrington and the Flora-Bama Lounge on Perdido Key, in conjunction with the Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival will be hosting the Mickey Newbury Gathering from Thursday, May 18th through Sunday, May 21st, 2017. As many people know, Mickey was a great friend of, and performed many times at the FBISF. After his passing in 2002, a number of fans decided to have an annual “gathering” to honor Mickey and his music. Originally staged in this area, the gathering moved to Texas for several years. 2016 saw
the return of the event to the Pensacola area and with it the arrival of Mickey’s fans as well as musicians from all over the USA. Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in 1980, Mickey Newbury’s songs have been covered by hundreds of artists. Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, Andy Williams and Eddy Arnold all had hits with Mickey Newbury’s work. Over a 35 year period Mickey recorded 25 albums to critical acclaim and many fellow songwriters declared Mickey the best of the best.
Great friends of the FBISF and Mickey, Barbara and Felix Manion from Baird, Texas will be participating in the event. They will be bringing their “BBQ trailer” preparing delicious food at the New Malibu. This will be in addition to the existing menus at the New Malibu as well as the FloraBama. Performances will take place at the New Malibu Lounge (1000 Gulf Beach Hwy) on Thursday, May 18 and Friday, May 19 beginning at 6pm, as well as on Saturday, May 20 at 7pm and Sunday, May 21 at 1pm. The Sunday afternoon session will
feature Chris Newbury and Jon Mark Stone. An added attraction to the event will be special time set aside dedicated to the music of other members of the FBISF songwriter family who are no longer with us. Attendees will be treated to the sounds of the songs of Wayne Carson, Hank Cochran, Mike Fincher, Larry Henley, Red Lane, Rusty McHugh, Jody Payne, Freddy Powers, Larry Jon Wilson and others. This will take place at the Flora-Bama Lounge from 2pm until 6pm on Saturday, May 20th. A detailed schedule will be posted at fbisf. com prior to the dates.

STATE PUTS POSSIBLE BEAR HUNT ON HOLD By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA State game commissioners agreed Wednesday not to hold a bear hunt for at least two years, over the objections of hunters who decried the delay as giving in to “bleeding hearts.” The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, after more than four hours of emotional testimony from hunters and animalrights activists, narrowly supported a staff contention that public support isn’t as high as desired for a repeat of a controversial 2015 hunt. “A hunt is consuming, it is consuming to this agency all the way around,” Chairman Brian Yablonski said. “And the benefit that we get with this species at this moment in time, I don’t know if it’s worth the consumption that our team is going to go through and we’re all going to go through.” The delay would allow staff members to complete an ongoing 10-year bear management plan which could be completed in two to three years. Commissioner Liesa Priddy said she wasn’t concerned that a majority of Floridians don’t support a bear hunt. “There’s really no scientific reason whatsoever
not to have a hunt,” Priddy said. “We can’t substitute politics for science. And if we don’t approve a hunt today, we’re really just throwing the science that we’ve gathered out the window.” Commission Executive Director Nick Wiley said the agency’s science is “rock solid” on the side of a hunt. But, he said “we need more time” to work on non-lethal bear management practices. He pointed, in part, to research that shows far less support among Floridians for bear hunting than for hunting in general. “The thing that troubles me the most in the social dynamic and social science is the gap between a 70 percent support for hunting and 48 percent support for bear hunting,” Wiley said. “We’ve talked to people that have done this research, and they said that (gap) is troubling. Those numbers are not where you want to be.” The numbers were amassed in a survey conducted in November that also found 43 percent of Floridians oppose a hunt. Wiley said the state “learned a lesson” from the 2015 hunt, which was the first in more than two decades. That year, 304 bears were killed during a planned weeklong hunt that was cut
short after two days when the quota was quickly reached. The commission last year narrowly voted against a hunt, giving expanded nonlethal efforts time to take hold, after commission biologists had recommended a more restrictive hunt. Wiley’s proposal Wednesday drew a string of hunters, many in orange shirts, to tell commissioners not to set policies based on public perception. “What’s next, who are we going to protect from the bleeding-heart liberals, are we going not kill off the bacteria on over-ripe bananas?” said Byron Maharrey of Palm Springs. “This isn’t a popularity vote.” Chuck Echenique, a hunter from Tampa, suggested the agency spend money on prohunting education instead of on getting people to use bear-proof trash containers. “Let those communities that choose to move into those areas … pay for their own trash cans,” Echenique said. The bear population in Florida has grown from 300 to 500 in the late 1970s to 2,700 in 2002 and 4,050 when updated last year. Thomas Eason, director of the commission’s habitat and species conservation division, said Florida black bears are in the middle
of a population expansion that is likely to continue. “Bears are thriving in Florida, they’re doing well,” Eason said. “They’re continuing to grow in numbers.” On Tuesday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service— pointing to the state’s conservation efforts—announced that the Florida black bear didn’t warrant being listed under the federal Endangered Species Act as requested by a number of groups and individuals, including the Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club and Stop The Florida Bear Hunt. Animal-rights proponents view the desire to hunt bears as a “trophy” thrill. Megan Sorbo, an 11-yearold from Orlando, told state wildlife commissioners on Wednesday the bear population can be managed humanely, including the use of bear sterilization. “You still oversee the most precious part of our state to me, our wildlife,” Sorbo said. “The wildlife belongs to all of us, yet to no one. Therefore, public opinion should be a factor in your decision and all options considered.” The growth in the bear population comes as the number of calls and incidents involving bears has declined the past three-years. The drop is attributed in
part to the 2015 hunt and the removal of 112 bears that year for risk of public safety. Prior to that year, the agency removed an average of 36 bears a year for that purpose. Also, the decline is attributed to an increase in natural food available to bears. The agency noted that an increase in acorns on the ground last fall could mean bears are spending more time foraging for acorns than rummaging in human trash. The agency has also taken a more active role in counties where bear-human incidents and calls have been prevalent—Lee and Collier in the Southwest Florida; Marion, Lake, Orange, Seminole, Putnam and Volusia in Central and Northeast Florida; and Leon, Wakulla, Gulf, Franklin, Santa Rosa, Walton, Okaloosa, and Bay in Northwest Florida. “The hunt is a relatively small part of our bear program,” Eason said. But it has drawn the most attention. The agency received $825,000 for the current fiscal year to help residents in 11 counties get bear-resistant trash cans. The money was raised through licenses issued for the 2015 hunt and from proceeds of the Conserve Wildlife license plate.
CORRECTIONS AGENCY SCRAPS PRISON HEALTH CONTRACT By DARA KAM THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA Citing shortcomings in mental-health services at a South Florida prison, state corrections officials are terminating a contract with a private health-care provider months before the deal was set to expire. Department of Corrections Secretary Julie Jones on Wednesday canceled the contract with Wexford Health Sources, giving the Pittsburgh-based company a required 180-day notice of termination. The cancellation notice means that Wexford will have to pull out of Florida prisons before its contract was set to expire in December. Jones cited a scathing review this month from the Correctional Medical Authority about “the apparent lack of psychotropic medications prescribed and administered” to most of the patients receiving mental health services at a Doral facility. The report, sent to Jones this week, included examples of inmates’ medications being cut off and inmates getting put in restraints instead of being treated with medications. At the time of the correctional authority’s survey over a two-day period this month, only one of 37 inmates was prescribed psychiatric medications, according to the report. “Although, not all inmates may meet the criteria to be
placed on medications, the clinical justification for discontinuation was not always present in the medical record and often occurred without consideration of titration or possible withdrawal symptoms. Furthermore, there was no evidence in the records reviewed, that medications were considered when the inmate’s mental status continued to decline,” the report found. But in an email to The News Service of Florida, Wexford took “strong exception” to the findings and accused Jones of not allowing the company to respond to the allegations before terminating the contract. “We treat every patient under our care with respect and dignity, and with the full hope that we can help restore them to mental health. Isolated cases involving inmates with histories of mental problems would not appear to be the basis for termination of an entire contract,” Wexford spokeswoman Wendelyn Pekich said in an email. But the report draws attention to the types of cases that have earned the department a black eye after reports of inmate abuse at the hands of prison guards and of corrections’ officers lack of training in how to handle mentally ill prisoners. For example, the report documented the case of one inmate whose medications were discontinued after he was processed into the prison. After entering the facil-
ity, the inmate’s “behavior escalated, as evidenced by smearing feces, multiple self-inflicted lacerations to his arm, as well as banging, threatening, and continuing to cut himself,” according to the report sent to Jones. The behavior “continued for hours” until a clinician was notified, according to the report. The patient was placed in restraints, but “there was no documentation that emergency medications were considered,” the evaluators reported. “Secretary Jones is absolutely outraged at Wexford’s lack of performance and delivery of services” described in the report, the department said in a statement Thursday. “The department has been committed to meaningful health care reforms and takes the issues detailed in the CMA’s notification extremely seriously. Following this medical emergency notification, the department immediately deployed a mental health ombudsman and behavioral health risk management team to review all inmate mental health needs handled by Wexford at South Florida Reception Center.” Wexford objected that, while privacy laws restricted the company’s ability to respond to the specific examples cited in the report, “there was nothing in the treatment of these inmates that should, or could, justify contract termination based on medical consider-

ations alone,” Pekich said. “It is extremely disappointing that the department acted without consulting with our psychiatric providers regarding the affected inmates, in order to determine why our personnel, relying on their professional judgment, pursued the chosen course of treatment. Instead, the department relied on CMA’s non-psychiatric auditors, who—without being licensed psychiatrists —told the department how they thought these patients should have been treated. These allegations led to the declaration of an emergency situation,” Pekich said. Jones move to sever ties with Wexford came after after Corizon Health in late 2015 notified the state that it was walking away from a five-year, $1.2 billion deal three years early. The Tennessee-based company claimed it was losing money on its contract with the state. Corizon managed health care for about three-fourths of the state’s 100,000 inmates, while Wexford— lauded by prison officials until recently for its performance—handles about 18,000 prisoners in the southern portion of the state. Jones came under fire for signing a no-bid, $268 million contract with Centurion of Florida LLC in January 2016 to take over for Corizon. Wexford’s contract with the state was unaffected by the Centurion deal. Jones decided to redo the
health care services contracts in 2015, and issued an invitation to negotiate for select companies to submit proposals. Wexford and Centurion are two of the three companies vying for the contracts, which Jones has broken up into pieces, including mental health services. Wexford, Centurion and Correct Care Solutions are all in the running to deliver mental health services to the state’s prison system. Centurion and Wexford are also vying to provide medical services, according to the corrections department. The cancellation of Wexford’s contract is the latest twist in a drawn-out controversy over health care for Florida prisoners. Earlier this month, the state and Corizon agreed to pay about $2.1 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by inmates who claimed the state agency and the company denied hernia operations to save money. The embattled corrections agency has been under scrutiny for several years in the wake of reports of inmate deaths at the hands of prison guards, cover-ups regarding inmate deaths and allegations of retaliation against whistleblowers. Appearing before lawmakers, Jones has stressed the need to beef up mental health services for inmates citing treatment issues as a safety concern for prison guards as well as inmates.

CONTROVERSIAL PENSION CHANGE SURFACES IN SENATE By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
With two weeks remaining in the legislative session, a Senate committee will take up a new bill that could move more public workers into a 401(k)-type retirement plan rather than the traditional pension program. The Senate Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee is scheduled Monday to take up a proposed bill (SPB 7030) that would move public employees, ranging from school-district workers to university personnel, who are hired after Jan. 1 into the investment plan if they do not actively opt for the traditional pension coverage. Currently, newly hired school workers, county employees, college workers and state employees “default” into the traditional pension plan if they don’t opt for ei-
ther plan within six months of their hiring. Only 22 percent of the new public employees opted for the investment plan in the last fiscal year, according to the State Board of Administration. Workers defaulting into the investment plan is a major issue for House leaders, who have pushed similar provisions for the last half-dozen years. The issue is already part of the formal budget negotiations between the House and Senate, although the Senate had backed only a bill (SB 7022) adjusting pension contribution rates for public agencies, while the House supported legislation (HB 5007) with the investment-plan default. Rich Templin, a lobbyist for the Florida AFL-CIO, which opposes the proposed change, said the emergence of the new Senate bill with the House provision is an indication it is a part of the budget negotiations between the
House and Senate in the final weeks of the annual session. “We’re looking at it as a major threat,” Templin said. “The deal-making that happens on the fourth floor of each chamber (where the Senate president and House speaker reside), we’re not privy to, nobody in Florida is privy to, except for the people in the room unfortunately.” Templin said it was “troubling that such a major policy change is going to largely be left up to the (budget) conference process.” Senate Governmental Oversight and Accountability Chairman Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, acknowledged the new pension bill is a “template” for negotiations on the issue with the House. He also said his committee will take up another bill (HB 7007) on Monday that would revamp health-insurance coverage for state workers and is another House priority. But Baxley called the pen-
sion bill “a work in progress,” with the idea that the pension and health-care legislation will move to the Senate Appropriations Committee for further negotiations. “I have no preconceived idea that this is anywhere near the finished product,” Baxley said. “I think it’s important we get this up and into the process.” Friday’s resignation from the Senate of Miami Republican Frank Artiles presents a possible complication for the legislation. Artiles was vice-chairman of Baxley’s committee, and his departure left the panel with three Republican members and three Democrats, who traditionally have opposed major pension changes. A tie vote would kill any legislation. “I’m encouraging those who want to make some changes to kind of hold those for the big discussion in Appropriations with Chairman (Jack) Latvala,” Baxley said.
House leaders said they want to move more newly hired workers into the investment plan because it would allow the employees to keep their contributions and investments if they left public employment before the eight-year vesting period, which is required for the traditional pension benefits. Advocates for the workers say the change is unnecessary for the $150 billion fund, which is considered one of the financially healthiest public pension systems in the country with the ability to pay more than 85 percent of its future obligations. “There is no reason to make this change in the (pension plan) default. It is purely ideologically driven by those who do not believe in public pensions,” Templin said. “It’s an attack on retirement security for the public sector. There no way around it, no way to spin it.”
CANNABIS COMPROMISE WON’T ALLOW SMOKING By DARA KAM THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Florida patients may be able to vape or munch on medicalmarijuana products but they almost certainly won’t be allowed to light up joints or take bong hits, under a compromise being worked on by House and Senate leaders. Lawmakers are trying to reach consensus on a proposal to carry out a constitutional amendment, overwhelmingly approved by more than 70 percent of voters last fall, that legalized medical marijuana for patients with a broad swath of conditions. House and Senate committees on Tuesday approved two different approaches to the amendment, which could make Florida one of the largest marijuana markets in the country when fully implemented. But neither side has any intention of allowing the marijuana products to be smoked, despite repeated demands from numerous patients, caregivers and others who insisted that smoking provides some people with the best type of treatment. Lawyer Michael Minardi accused the House Appropriations Committee of thwarting the will of voters who supported the constitutional change and, he said, supported smoking marijuana products. “These are veterans. These are the elderly. These are seniors, and people with ALS or PTSD, who benefit and use cannabis in a smoked form. What you are doing here, by creating this legislation when 71 percent of the people support it, is going against their will,” Minardi, who specializes in marijuana law, said. But Sen. Rob Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican who has shepherded marijuana-related legislation through his chamber for the past three years, told The News Service of Florida
that smoking is off the table. “There is agreement between the majority of the House and Senate that the smoking of cannabis is not an act that is consistent with a healthy life and not consistent with consuming medicine,” Bradley said. Bradley moved the two chambers’ propoosals farther apart late Tuesday when he allowed an amendment, sponsored by Miami Republican Frank Artiles, to be tacked onto his bill (SB 406) that would cap at three the number of dispensaries each medical- marijuana licensee could operate. Bradley said he would agree to the amendment but believed the number was too small. “If there are no limits on the number of dispensaries, it would be very challenging, if ever, for there to be other entities to enter the market,” Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations Chairwoman Anitere Flores, R-Miami, said. But Jim McKee, a lobbyist for San Felasco Nurseries --- one of seven current medical-marijuana license holders in the state --- argued that capping the number of dispensaries could have a negative impact on access to treatment for rural patients. Having too few dispensaries would increase the number of patients, estimated to total about 500,000 in Florida, who would rely on home delivery for marijuana products, McKee said. “Do we really want what could be up to 1,000 vehicles a day delivering cannabis throughout the state of Florida?” he said. But Ben Pollara, campaign manager for the political committee that backed the amendment, said he supported a limit on the number of dispensaries each license holder could have because it would force lawmakers to grant more licens-
es and open up the market. Allowing the license holders to open unlimited numbers of retail facilities will cause patients to “suffer the consequences of a state-mandated monopoly,” Pollara argued. “The business of medical marijuana will operate like cable companies. You can pick from one of a handful of providers, and they are all expensive, poor in quality, and lacking in customer service, since they have a captive audience of consumers,” he said. Bradley said later the number of dispensaries “probably does not produce nearly enough access and storefronts to make sure that everybody who needs medical marijuana gets it,” but the inclusion of the dispensary cap gives the Senate another bargaining chip in talks with the House. The Senate meeting unexpectedly was put on hold for 15 minutes after a man in the audience suffered a seizure. “This is what happens to epileptics whose medicine doesn’t work for them anymore and they can’t get access to the one medicine that does actually work,” Stephani Scruggs said, as medical providers and Capitol police crowded around her husband, Michael Bowen. Bowen was eventually removed from the committee room. After the meeting, Bradley told reporters that Bowen’s seizure “is another reminder that what we’re dealing with is people’s lives.” “What frustrates many of us is so many people get caught up in the money of it,” Bradley said. “Hopefully what happened here today will remind everybody that what we are talking about is patients and what we are talking about is access to a drug that is now guaranteed under the Constitution.” The Senate committee overwhelmingly approved Bradley’s proposal, which has one more stop before heading

to the Senate floor, with less than three weeks left before the legislative session ends. Differences between the two chambers’ plans include how products can be consumed. The House bill also bans vaporizing or edible marijuana products, an element House Majority Leader Ray Rodrigues, the bill’s sponsor, said could change. Rodrigues, R-Estero, said vaporizing, or “vaping,” and edibles are part of negotiations with Bradley and could get folded into the House measure if the products could be accurately labeled. The House committee also approved an amendment steering more than $20 million toward carrying out the amendment, including $10 million for a “statewide cannabis and marijuana education and use prevention campaign;” $5 million for a statewide impaired-driving education program; and about $8 million to pay for 55 positions at the Florida Department of Health. The Florida Legislature first authorized medical marijuana in 2014, with a law that legalized non-euphoric cannabis products for patients with severe epilepsy, chronic muscle spasms or cancer. Anticipating the November passage of what was known as Amendment 2, lawmakers last spring expanded the law to legalize full-strength marijuana for terminally ill patients. The Senate plan (SB 406) would do away with a component in the current law requiring doctors to have relationships with patients for at least 90 days before being able to order marijuana treatment, a requirement many
patients—and some lawmakers—have harshly criticized. The House proposal maintains the 90-day waiting period for patients who do not have existing relationships with doctors. Rep. Katie Edwards, a Plantation Democrat who was instrumental in passing the 2014 law, choked back tears while relating the story of a family member who was told he had to wait three months to get low-THC marijuana for his 5-month-old son, who had a rare form of cancer. “I’m the lawmaker that has to defend the 90-day waiting period. I can’t keep apologizing for that anymore and neither should any of us,” Edwards said. “To tell a loved one, my own cousin, and have to rationalize the irrational, we can’t do that.— That 90-day period was ridiculous from the word go.” The House committee approved the proposal along a strict party-line vote. “The current bill in front of me, I do not believe, complies with what the voters voted for. In 100 fashions, it doesn’t comply,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Coral Springs, said before the vote. But Rodrigues, whose bill relied heavily on recommendations from organizations that fought the constitutional amendment, reminded committee members that marijuana remains illegal under federal law. “This bill is indeed a work in progress.—Our goal is to produce an implementing bill that honors the letter and the spirit of the constitutional amendment and does it in a way that protects Florida citizens,” Rodrigues.
