Tucked away on a twoacre lot on Old Palafox sits one of the most interesting, colorful and pleasantly noisy places in Pensacola. Uncle Sandy’s Macaw Bird Park Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary houses roughly 110 parrots of varying species as well as a couple of emus, a few peacocks and at least one rooster. The sanctuary was started by Sandy Carl Kirkconnell, affectionately known as Uncle Sandy, in 2002 after his retirement. Born and raised on a small island off the coast of Honduras, Uncle Sandy saw macaws flying freely and he developed a deep love for the birds, especially the green-winged macaws, which he had as pets growing up. His interest in the birds prompted him to build a large free-flight open aviary where his macaws could enjoy flying. As people became interested in his aviary, he started to allow visitors in order to share his knowledge and the beauty of the birds. As news got out, people began asking Uncle Sandy to take in birds they could no longer care for. Unable to say no to an animal in need, he created the sanctuary for them and for people to learn more about them. After Uncle Sandy lost his battle with cancer in early 2013, a group of volunteers helped establish the park into a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization to continue his legacy of saving birds and educating the public. The park is run completely by volunteers and is funded by entry fees and donations. All proceeds go back into the park to care for the majestic animals who call it home. “Volunteers are welcome and encouraged,” says Reed Raulston, a member of the board of directors and a sanctuary volunteer for over eight years. “Volunteers clean

cages, feed birds, clean up the park and socialize with the birds.” Currently, the sanctuary has about eight dedicated volunteers and a varying number of casual volunteers. The experience of visiting the park is a something magical. Brightly colored bird cages, flower pots, step stones and the calls of multiple birds greet visitors on the way

and let you walk through the park at your leisure. We try to be available for answering questions. We try to make it as interactive as possible. If folks want to hold a bird or play with a bird, we can try to make that happen as long as the bird likes human interaction. Visitors are also entertaining for the birds. They have physical needs, but they also

in. “When you come in the park, we set you up with a cup of peanuts and give a little bit of instructions,” says Raulston. “We will show you how to interact with the birds. A running joke I have is that we want everyone to leave with all ten fingers, not nine and a half. We show you where the birds are

have social needs. They are flock animals. They like to have interaction. So, we try to get everyone who comes here to interact and socialize with the birds as much as we can.” Sweetie, a 9-year-old white umbrella cockatoo, is the mascot of the sanctuary. She’s the first bird people see when

they enter the office. She is very social and vocal, loves to dance and if you are lucky, she may respond to your “I love you, Sweetie” with an “I love you, too.” Sweetie goes to nursing homes, schools and civic events to spread the word on the sanctuary and to educate the public on the dedication necessary to raise a parrot, many of which will live for 80 years. The species in the park includes many large macaws, amazons and eclectus as well as smaller parrot varieties. The oldest birds are a pair of bonded macaws, which are estimated to be about 53 years old. All of the birds are surrendered birds, which means an owner was no longer able to care for the bird and gave it to the sanctuary. “It generally boils down to some sort of lifestyle change,” says Raulston. “Marriages, birth of children, divorce and death are some of the major reasons for parrot surrender.” “Birds can easily outlive a human companion,” Raulston explains. “Single birds bond to their human companions like glue.” This intense bonding can cause problems for families who have recently added a spouse or children because the birds can becomes protective of their bonded person and will feel the need to defend that person. This can create rifts within the family. In some of these cases, the best decision may be to find the feathered companion a new home. Uncle Sandy’s Macaw Bird Park Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary is located at 9513 N Palafox St. Admission fees are $5 per person for those 13 years of age and up, $2 per child from 7 to 13 years of age, and free for children under the age of six. Hours vary, so check website for availability: macawbirdpark.org

While owning a parrot can be a rewarding experience, it also requires a lot of knowledge, time and work. Consider these tips before bringing a parrot into your home. 10 Things You Need to Know Before Buying or Adopting a Bird by Monica Engebretson, Grassroots Coordinator, Animal Protection Institute

1. Birds are not domesticated animals. Domestic animals are animals that have been bred for hundreds of years to live in the care of humans and are distinct from their wild ancestors. Birds commonly kept as pets are no different than their wild relatives— they are the native species of other countries. 2. Chlamydiosis (psittacosis) and avian tuberculosis can be transmitted through the air from birds to humans. These diseases can cause significant illness, especially for people with compromised immune systems. Birds also continually shed feather dust, which may aggravate asthma in some people. Many homes with pet birds have HEPAtype air filters in rooms with birds to control allergies from bird dander. 3. Parrots, including lovebirds, parakeets, and cockatiels, are noisy and messy, and can be destructive. Vocalizing (squawking, chirping, talking) is an important part of any parrot’s social communication. Birds eat continually throughout the day, dropping and discarding bits of food everywhere. Birds are instinctively programmed to chew and shred wood, whether it is a perch, toy, picture frame, or furniture. Birds will also chew electrical cords, paper, and curtains. 4. All parrots have long life spans. Depending on the species, they may live 20 to 80 years or more. Caring for a bird is often a life-long responsibility. 5. Parrots are extremely social animals, and have

been compared to human toddlers in the needs of their emotional and social lives but, unlike children, they never grow up. 6. Birds are active and inquisitive and must be provided with ample room to move about and play. An indoor or sheltered outdoor aviary or a flight safe room (windows covered, no cats/dogs, no ceiling fans, etc.) that will allow the bird(s) to fly is good for exercise. Birds with clipped wings can get exercise by climbing, swinging, and flapping, if provided with ample space, toys, and climbing structures. 7. All birds need a varied diet, not just seeds or pellets, but grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, too. 8. Light exposure and sleep are very important to birds. Birds need at least four hours exposure to UVA and UVB rays from sunlight or full-spectrum lighting to provide them with vitamin D, which promotes vitamin A absorption, critical for upper respiratory health. Birds must have a minimum of ten hours of sleep each night. 9. Birds are very sensitive to air quality. Unlike humans, a bird replaces nearly all the air in its lungs with each breath. Because no residual air is left in the lungs during the ventilation cycle of birds, they transfer more oxygen and more pollutants during each breath. Birds should never be exposed to tobacco smoke, chemical fumes (hairspray, cleaners, etc.) or Tefloncoated materials. Exposure to some toxic inhalants can cause immediate death; chronic exposure to other toxic can lead to premature death. 10. Birds need veterinary care from a veterinarian that specializes in birds. Proper vet care for birds can be expensive. Your vet will probably recommend a complete examination and diagnostic tests when you first acquire your bird; in addition, she/he will probably recommend annual well-bird examinations. Smaller birds require the same vet care and regular examinations.

Wind Creek Casino and Hotel Atmore continue as the Presenting Sponsor once more, as we fill the historic streets of Downtown Pensacola to host the (Seventh Annual) Wind Creek Pensacola Mardi Gras Kick Off Celebration.

There will be entertainment starting at 5 pm. At 5:30 pm all participating floats will be parked on Palafox where their Krewes will begin the celebration. Everyone should come in costume of course, as all of the Krewes will be anxious to show they have the most

spirit and pride. All media participating in the event will also be in place starting at 5:30 pm. At 7:30 pm the celebration will begin with the blessing of the floats where a Catholic Father who, along with City of Pensacola and Escambia County law enforcement leadership and several of Pensacola’s elected officials, will bless the Pensacola Mardi Gras season and all its participants. Then, Father, the Knights of Columbus royalty, Wind Creek tribal royalty, and all of the participating Krewe royalty (the procession will be led by the Krewe of Mayoki Indians who are King and Queen Priscus) will follow Pensacola’s Second Line marching procession the likes of which have never been seen before. As the Second Line marching procession makes its way up Palafox, Father will individually bless each float and each Krewe on the float until he has fully blessed the entire fleet. Each float will be duly honored by the town crier (recording artist Bubba Bechtel) who will deliver each float an official declaration and proclaim their welcome. When Father and the Second Line Procession are finished, we’ll gather at the corner of Government and Palafox, and ceremoniously cut the King Cake provided by Classic City Catering and declare the 2017 Pensacola Mardi Gras season officially open and sufficiently anointed. The party will go on until the wee hours. This event promises to continue being a yearly tradition which annually signifies the start of the Pensacola Mardi Gras Season.

SENATE

PRESIDENT

By JIM SAUNDERS AND DARA KAM THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Amid a tangle of legal issues, Senate President Joe Negron on Tuesday signaled support for allowing slot machines in counties where voters have approved expanded gambling. Voters in Duval and St. Lucie counties last month approved referendums to allow slot machines at pari-mutuel facilities, joining six other counties that had done so earlier. But the lucrative machines have not started whirling in the counties as the gambling industry, regulators and lawmakers watch a case at the Florida Supreme Court and legal issues involving the Seminole Tribe of Florida. At a breakfast meeting Tuesday with reporters, Negron said he thinks the Legislature should follow the will of voters if slot machines are approved in referendums. “I’m not encouraging counties to do that, but if voters in a particular county approve more gaming opportunities, I think we should respect the decision of those citizens and those com-

Capitol News BACKS

munities to shape the way they want their communities to look,” Negron, R-Stuart said. “And we should honor that, rather than stand in the way of it and substitute our judgment for the judgment of the voters.” Under a 2004 constitutional amendment, slot machines are allowed at pari-mutuel facilities in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. But a closely watched lawsuit is pending at the Florida Supreme Court about whether pari-mutuels in other counties can offer the machines after voter referendums. The Supreme Court heard arguments in June in the case, which involves Gretna Racing in Gadsden County and the interpretation of a 2009 gambling law. The case went to the Supreme Court after the 1st District Court of Appeal ruled that the pari-mutuel could not have slot machines without the authorization of the Legislature, despite county voters’ approval. Meanwhile, Gov. Rick Scott’s administration has started trying to negotiate a revised gambling agreement, known as a “compact,” with the Seminole Tribe that also deals with slot ma-

ALLOWING

chines. Under a 2010 compact, the Seminole Tribe was given exclusive rights to offer certain games, including slot machines, in exchange for payments to the state. The state and the tribe have been locked in a legal battle about the expiration last year of part of the compact dealing with “banked” card games, such as blackjack. A federal judge last month ruled that the state had violated the tribe’s exclusive rights to offer those games, giving added impetus to the negotiations. But negotiations about a revised compact also could involve whether the tribe would have exclusive rights to offer slot machines outside of Broward and Miami-Dade counties --- and how that would affect the counties where voters have approved referendums. Representatives of the Scott administration and the tribe met early this month. But Gary Bitner, a tribe spokesman, declined Tuesday to provide details about the talks. “The Seminole Tribe is open to discussions and negotiations as part of its continuing desire to finalize a new gaming compact

The Summation Weekly VOTER-APPROVED with the state of Florida, but the tribe prefers not to negotiate in the media,” he said in a prepared statement. Negron said Sen. Bill Galvano, a Bradenton Republican who is slated to become the next Senate president, will take the chamber’s lead in discussions about the compact. If a deal is reached with the tribe, it would have to be approved by the Legislature. Before moving to the Senate, Galvano was the House’s chief negotiator when the Legislature signed off on the 2010 compact with the tribe. After Negron’s meeting Tuesday with reporters, spokeswoman Katie Betta said the president thinks a solution can be reached to address the issues of the compact and the slots referendums. “President Negron said at the breakfast that he cannot predict the final resolution of this issue at this juncture, but he does believe there is a way to strike a balance between the voter-approved slots and the (exclusivity) necessary for a compact with the Seminole Tribe,” Betta said in an email. Scott proposed a $3 billion, seven-year compact before the 2016 legislative session, but it

did not pass. The issue is difficult politically for a number of reasons, including that the House has traditionally opposed expanded gambling. But Negron indicated Tuesday that trying to address the issues will be a priority as lawmakers meet during the 2017 session. “I think it’s important that we explore the opportunity to ratify the compact and also be fair to the other participants in the gaming industry, the pari-mutuels and others that have longtime investments in the state, employ thousands of people, are important parts of the corporate communities that they represent,” Negron said. “It’s an important priority for me to try to have a compact ratified and to move forward on gaming, not only from a revenue point of view, but also from an industry predictability perspective.” Along with Duval, St. Lucie and Gadsden counties slots referendums have been approved in Brevard, Hamilton, Lee, Palm Beach and Washington counties. “I think if the voters have approved it by referendum, I don’t think the Legislature should stand in the way,” Negron said.

Lisa Edgar, who is ending a 12-year run as a state utility regulator, has been appointed director of the Florida Park Service, the state Department of Environmental Protection announced Tuesday. Edgar, who will leave the Florida Public Service Commission at the end of the year, will start in midJanuary overseeing more than 1,000 park-service workers and 29,000 volunteers. Florida has 174 state parks, trails and historic sites. Prior to joining the Public Service Commission, Edgar was a deputy secretary at the Department of Environmental Protection, where she worked from 1999 to early 2005. Before that, she served as a policy analyst in the governor’s Office of Policy and Budget under former Gov. Lawton Chiles. In a release from the Department of Environmental Protection, Edgar called it an honor to return to the state agency. “From my time at DEP and as a frequent visitor of our state parks, I’ve seen first-hand the high caliber of the Florida Park Service team,” Edgar said in

to achieve the Florida state parks mission to provide resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources.” Edgar will replace Donald Forgione, who has been reassigned to Paynes Prairie State Park outside of Gainesville after nearly six years as the director of the system. The department didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Forgione’s move. “We’re excited to welcome Lisa back to the department,” said Gary Clark, the department’s deputy secretary for land and recreation said in a prepared statement. “She will bring a wealth of agency knowledge, superb leadership skills and an understanding of, and appreciation for, Florida’s diverse environmental resources to this role.” Edgar, who has been paid $131,000 a year on the Public Service Commission, will earn $115,000 a year in her new job. In September, Gov. Rick Scott appointed Pinellas County engineer Donald Polmann to replace Edgar on the commission.

would continue to be “a calling.” Early this year, in announcing she would not apply for a fourth term, Edgar said in a statement she intended to use her “regulatory and governmental experience as I pursue new endeavors and other career opportunities.” Edgar was first appointed to the regulatory panel by former Gov. Jeb Bush and began the job in January 2005. She was later reappointed by former Gov. Charlie Crist and Gov. Rick Scott. At times, Edgar has faced criticism for her work on the Public Service Commission, including in 2013 when some lawmakers contended she favored electric utilities over consumers. Before Edgar got reconfirmed in a 26-13 vote in the Senate, Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, said he’d like to see “us put someone a little more consumer friendly” on the commission. But when he reappointed her in September 2012, Scott wrote that Edgar “has demonstrated the ability to review complex issues and show fairness in considering those issues.”

A federal judge has flatly refused a request from Gov. Rick Scott’s administration to reconsider a ruling that Florida violated a gambling agreement with the Seminole Tribe. U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle issued a twopage order Tuesday, less than a week after attorneys for Scott and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation submitted a 33-page document requesting changes in Hinkle’s Nov. 9 ruling in favor of the tribe. “This case was tried to the court. A written opinion set out the court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law. The defendant has moved to alter or amend the judgment,” Hinkle wrote in the order. “For the most part, the motion simply reargues the merits. The original opinion correctly analyzes the issues. This order denies the motion to alter or amend.” The November ruling and Tuesday’s order were part of a legal battle about blackjack and other types of games at Seminole casinos and what are known as “designated player games” at pari-mutuel facilities regulated by the state. In siding with the tribe in November, Hinkle ruled that designated-player games at pari-mutuels violate a 2010 agreement that

jack, in exchange for paying $1 billion to the state. A five-year agreement dealing with the banked card games --- part of a larger, 20-year deal called a “compact” --- expired in 2015, prompting the Seminoles to file the lawsuit. The state, meanwhile, filed a separate lawsuit asking the judge to order the tribe to shut down blackjack and other banked games, which the Seminoles have continued to operate. Hinkle agreed with the Seminoles that the stateauthorized designated player games, also known as “player-banked” games, triggered an exception to the five-year agreement. He ordered that the tribe be allowed to continue to conduct the banked games for the remainder of the overall compact’s 20-year term. In the request for reconsideration, attorneys for the state raised a series of issues about Hinkle’s November ruling, including disputing his conclusion that “designated player games” meet the definition of banked card games and, as a result, violate the 2010 compact. “State and federal law contradict the finding that designated player games are ‘banking or banked card games’ under the 2010 compact,” the state’s

findings on the negotiation and drafting of the 2010 compact. Nor did it support the factual findings on the parties’ intent regarding designated player games.” But attorneys for the tribe countered Friday by urging Hinkle to reject the state’s request for reconsideration. “The court found that the designated player games are ‘banked card games’ based upon reasonable interpretations of (federal and state laws), common understanding of the term in the gaming industry, testimony of both expert and lay witnesses, and legislative history,” the tribe’s attorneys wrote in a sixpage document. “The state ignores virtually all of that evidence, disregards the court’s reasoning, and presents its argument as though there had been no comprehensive briefing on the relevant issues and no trial.” Amid the legal wrangling, Scott’s administration and the tribe have tried to negotiate a revised compact. Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, said Tuesday it is a priority for him to get a compact ratified --- a move that would require legislative approval. A spokesman for the tribe declined to provide details of the negotiations.
