501 E Gregory Street A new triple-suite commercial building on East Gregory has finished construction, and its residents are set to move in and set up soon. Nothing Bundt Cakes, Starbucks and Jimmy John’s already have their signs up—it is just a matter of moving into the space. Jimmy John’s and Starbucks do not have any special features aside from their location. Jimmy John’s has several locations throughout the city, but many are uptown. The same applies for Starbucks, though they have more locations towards UWF. These downtown locations will make it easier
to pick up a quick sandwich or a hot coffee while headed to the office—or a pit stop during your weekend ramblings. Nothing Bundt Cake is a new offering for Pensacola, however. A custom bakery that specializes in Bundt cakes, the ingredients are always fresh and of the highest quality. Their cakes will come in a variety of shapes – from tiered to ‘Bundtinis’ – as well as classic flavors like red velvet, cinnamon swirl and chocolate. Though they do not have a prospective open date as of yet, work on the building is proceeding quickly and is gearing up to be a one-stopshop for the lunch rush. For more information on any of these businesses, visit nothingbundtcakes.com, starbucks.com or jimmyjohns. com.

Having that vision is our first step.” The restoration process for the furniture Breedlove and Cornelius pick involves cleaning up imperfections, painting, distressing and then a final wax for preservation. In addition to boutique items, tables, chairs and so on, Rusted Arrow also produces hand-painted designs and fabric applications. Aside from the wide array of upcycled furnishings Rusted Arrow provides, they also do custom work for clients who bring in vintage furniture they would like restored. Breedlove has been working with vintage furniture for years in Saint Petersburg, and decided to open a store in Pensacola
of her drive and passion. “Our goal is to continue our growth and keep up with our customers needs and trends. We love the opportunity it has given us to meet our amazing customers – local and visitors – and hear their stories,” said Breedlove. “The Pensacola community is so inviting, never have we felt so welcome.” For more information on Rusted Arrow Mercantile, visit rustedarrowmercantile. com or stop by the store, open at 10 am every day (11 am on Sundays.)
Perfect Plain Brewing Co.
50 E Garden St The craft beer industry has been growing for quite a few years, and though Pensacola has a few breweries to its name, it hasn’t reached the heights of cities like Asheville or St. Petersburg. DC Reeves hopes to widen the Pensacola beer scene with the opening of Perfect Plain Brewing Co., soon to open at 50 E Garden St. “The craft beer world first hit in Asheville and Portland,” said Reeves, who is the co-founder/owner of Perfect Plain. “I was a sports writer for years, and I used to joke that if seeing the game was the first best thing, then getting a drink afterwards was the second.”
with long-time friend Reed Odeneal to start Perfect Plain. The final design will have a 10-barrel brewing system that is open to the bar, along with a rotating selection of eight to twelve custom brews. “We know that dark, bitter beers may not work in a hot climate like ours,” said Reeves. “But we want to push the envelope. We want to introduce Pensacola to things they are doing in Asheville that no one else is doing.” Reeves said the main goal of Perfect Plain is not to simply be a good brewery, but a great customerservice focused business that sells beer. “Our ultimate goal is to build and grow together – both the local beer community and downtown. We’re very excited.” Perfect Plain Brewing Co is set to open in fall 2017, though renovations on the building are set to start in June. For more information, visit perfectplain.com
Brew Ha Ha
2435 N 12th Ave East Hill has always been a thriving neighborhood that has had its share of history and uniqueness. Angela Walker hopes to continue on this tradition by opening Brew Ha Ha – an eatery, bar and event space located on the corner of N 12th Ave
“I have had the idea for quite some time, and now that my children are grown, I have the time and energy to pursue this dream of creating a backdrop where neighbors become friends,” said Walker, Brew Ha Ha’s owner. “I have always had a penchant for storytelling, history and being the life of the party. Combine those three traits and ta-dah, my fifth child – Brew Ha Ha – is born.” Brew Ha Ha will have a diverse selection of drinks, food and events throughout the year. Its most notable trait, however, is its tribute to Pensacola history. The northern outside wall is painted with a massive mural of a Pensacola postcard, and the inside will feature renditions of famous landmarks such as the graffiti bridge. “I’m transparent by nature, and so I’ll tell you I’ve been overwhelmed by the gracious embrace of the Pensacola community. When I see people enjoying themselves, it brings me deep felt joy,” said Walker. Brew Ha Ha will open its doors in early fall, but for the time being you can enjoy the murals that adorn the outside walls. For more information, visit brewhahapensacola.com.

UWF ranks in top three in Florida Board of Governors performancebased funding model Florida Board of Governors announced today the University of West Florida ranks in the top three top-performing public universities in the state and will secure more than $20 million in new funding for the 2017-18 academic year. UWF earned 82 points out of 100 on the Board’s performance-based funding model results from the 201516 academic year, earning a top spot in the rankings alongside the University of Florida and the University of South Florida. This is a significant improvement from 2014, the year the performance metrics were first introduced, when UWF was ranked No. 11, receiving 21 points out of the then-50-point scale. “In the past four years, we’ve seen steady improvements at the System level and for individual universities,” said Tom Kuntz, Board of Governors’ chair. “Especially exciting is that we’ve seen universities in the bottom three soar to the top of the pack as they’ve renewed their focus on student success.” UWF President Martha Saunders said the University’s success can be attributed to a campuswide effort to invest in long-term strategies that would not only increase the institution’s performance in the selected metrics, but also enhance the overall quality of the education and experience provided. “This is great news for UWF and a testimony to the hard work of the entire campus over the past few years,” said UWF President Martha Saunders. “The additional funding will go a long way toward supporting the success of our students.” Among the most successful initiatives developed by the University is an online graduation dashboard that empowers students, faculty and staff to closely monitor degree progression. Designed for undergraduate students, the dashboard features a color-coded “Time to Degree” progress bar, as well as excess hours, financial aid and academic status indicators that note when students need to seek assistance from an advisor. The graduation dashboard also celebrates the accomplishment when the degree is awarded. Additionally, the University implemented several student completion strategies to enhance
academic progress toward fouryear graduation rates, including: creating University College to serve as a comprehensive, centralized unit dedicated to student support services and high-impact learning; allocating funding toward student grants and programs to support retention and graduation efforts; developing tools that empower students, faculty and staff to monitor degree progression; and more. “UWF’s success this year reflects the fact that our faculty and staff have been and are committed to excellence— quality of programs, quality of the student experience and quality of the work each of us does every day,” said Dr. George Ellenberg, interim provost. Under the performance funding model, the Board of Governors scores each of Florida’s 12 public universities based on 10 metrics designed to incentivize university excellence and improvement. These metrics establish a minimum acceptable level of performance on issues such as graduation and retention rates. The Board, with influence from the governor and Florida State Legislature, selects nine of the metrics, with the last one chosen by each institution’s Board of Trustees. Each university must reach a benchmark number set by the Board of Governors and not score in the bottom three of all State University System institutions in order not to lose their base funding and to be eligible for new state funding. The highlights of UWF’s metrics scores for 2015-2016 include: The percent of bachelor’s graduates enrolled in postgraduate school or employed and earning $25,000 or more increased by 6.5 percent, from 61 percent to 67.6 percent. The academic progress rate increased by 5.2 percent, reaching 70.1 percent overall. The number of students earning bachelor’s degrees without excess hours increased by 4.7 percent, from 75.8 percent to 80.5 percent. All funds will be allocated in fiscal year 2017-2018, which begins July 1.

Senior Chill Out to help seniors beat the heat Senior Chill Out, a one-day donation drive to acquire new air conditioners, fans or funds to assist seniors with heat-related issues, will be held by Council on Aging of West Florida, WEAR ABC 3, Cat Country 98.7, NewsRadio 1620, Magic 106.1 FM, and Lowe’s Home Improvement on Friday, June 30 at area Lowe’s stores (Fairfield Drive, Airport Blvd. and Nine Mile Road in Pensacola; Highway 98 in Gulf Breeze; and Highway 90 in Pace) from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The community is encouraged to help seniors beat the heat by donating merchandise or making a monetary contribution while meeting radio personalities and possibly even being
featured on local news broadcasts. 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 combined. The elderly are particularly vulnerable to being adversely affected by excessive heat due to slower adjustment of the body to changes in temperature, increased risks associated with other medical conditions and prescription medicines that can impair the ability to regulate temperature or inhibit perspiration. “While the Florida summer is a time for outdoor fun and activities for many of
us, it presents a critical health risk for those who do not enjoy any sort of relief from the high temperatures,” said John Clark, President/ CEO of Council on Aging. “Without air conditioning, the senior’s home offers no refuge from the often triple-digit heat that occurs in the height of summer. This is not only uncomfortable; it is dangerous. With fans and window AC units, the aging adult avoids costly medical care while living pleasantly year-round.” Information on heat stress and heat stroke will be available at the event, as well as information on how our community’s elderly in need can receive donated AC units and fans.

The Merchant of Venice:
First City Shakespeare presents a modern-dress version of the classic play Racists attack brownskinned customers at Starbucks. Evangelicals shout that the United States is a Christian nation. Wealthy whites are given preferential treatment in the courts. Laws are passed to cripple the autonomy of women. Donald Trump’s America. It was very much the same in 1594 when William Shakespeare wrote The Merchant of Venice: non-Christians were vilified and reviled, even wealthy women had little to no control over their own destinies, and civil suits were rampant in the courts. In other words, the more things change, the more they stay the same. First City Shakespeare presents a modern-dress version of the play set in Venice, Florida. Performance dates are July 13-15. While none of Shakespeare’s language
has been modernized, the play has been cut to run approximately two hours. The characters include the ultra-wealthy, the entrepreneurial class, the poor, entitled youth, and violent racists. That these characters can walk out of Elizabethan England and be instantly recognizable in modern America is remarkable. The title page of the play, first published in 1600, states: “The most excellent History of the Merchant of Venice. With the extreme cruelty of Shylock the Jew towards the said Merchant in cutting a just pound of his flesh: and the obtaining of Portia by the choice of three caskets.” Before the play even begins, it is understood that the villain is a Jew simply by virtue of his being a Jew and that the heroine is up for sale. If, as Hamlet said,
the purpose of playing is to hold a mirror up to nature, First City presents Shakespeare’s play as a mirror that reflects the humanity within hatred. The play is not recommended for children, and parents of young teens are strongly cautioned. All seats are $15. Tickets are available at www.setsco.org or at the door. The Southeastern Teen Shakespeare Company is a501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to providing teens in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties with instruction and performance opportunities that lead to their significant growth as artists, as community members, and as human beings. First City Shakespeare supports the work of the teen company through fund raisers like The Merchant of Venice.

Sunday’s Child announces winners Flora-Bama Chef Chris Sherrill of $128,500 in grant awards Representing The Gulf Coast In Friends of the Escambia Africa
After a rigorous review process, five Pensacola Bay Area non-profits have been awarded $128,500 in grant awards from Sunday’s Child, a Pensacola Bay Area nonprofit that promotes LGBT acceptance and inclusion. The awards were announced after a live vote at the Pensacola philanthropic organization’s third annual membership meeting held Sunday at Pensacola’s Community Maritime Park. The organizations that are recipients of $25,700 each are Manna Food Pantries, Independence for the Blind, Friends of Escambia County Animal Shelter, Pensacola United Methodist Community Ministries, and the Children’s Home Society of Florida. Launched in 2014, Sunday’s Child is made up of members that donate $1,000 annually, which goes toward grant awards determined by the votes of members. The group places an emphasis on grants to nonprofit organizations and initiatives that place value on diversity, inclusion, and equality in the Pensacola Bay Area of Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. “Leading change and acceptance of others is our main mission,” said Dr. Chuck Presti, founder and outgoing president of Sunday’s Child. “With the award this year of $128,500 in grants to five deserving non-profits, we’ve shown just how much the citizens of the Pensacola Bay Area care about diversity in their communities.” The five grants will go directly to the nonprofit recipients, funding a broad range of projects and activities. Manna’s winning proposal will fund the development and construction of a climate-controlled dry room within the organization’s new headquarters and distribution facility. The room will be large enough to allow space for repackaging bulk items as well as storage for more than 30 pallets of dry food that is distributed weekly to nearly 900 families in the Pensacola Bay Area. Independence for the Blind, the only nonprofit entirely devoted to educating the blind and visually impaired in Northwest Florida, will utilize grant dollars to build their SOAR (Safe Outdoor Area for Recreation) project. The project will span a half-acre and will be developed into a safe, appropriate place for blind children, teens, and adults to engage in physical activity. Included within the project is the purchasing of custom sports equipment for blind youth, a new watering system, recreational facilities, and three new raised garden beds.
County Animal Shelter will purchase a transport van to allow the support organization to transport animals from over-capacity local animal shelters to areas of the country less burdened with pet overpopulation. The transport will connect to the established Puppy Pipeline in Hoover, Alabama, where pets are professionally transported to no-kill shelters in other locations where there is a high demand for adoptable pets. Pensacola United Methodist Community Ministries will benefit from the purchase of a new state-ofthe-art walk-in refrigeration unit to assist in the charity’s mission to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people suffering from hunger within Pensacola’s Brownsville community and the Pensacola Bay Area. The new unit will greatly reduce food spoilage and will expand the efficiencies of more than 20,000 hot meals annually at their Brownsville facility. With their grant dollars, the Children’s Home Society of Florida will be able to expand their services to care for the thousands of children in the Pensacola Bay Area who are malnourished and alone. Their project will support securing host homes for runaway and homeless youth, including those who have behavior challenges, identify as LGBT, are pregnant, parenting, or human trafficking victims. The project will support a recruiter to participate in outreach and innovative marketing strategies to recruit, secure, and train host families willing to parent homeless youth. Sunday’s Child funding will also provide direct street outreach to area youth. “Our goal with the award of these grants is to promote a community that embraces diversity, especially among LGBT citizens,” said Drew Buchanan, vice president of Sunday’s Child. “Each non-profit awarded grants today has proven they are being proactive in promoting diversity and embracing inclusiveness within their organizations and the communities they serve.” Funding for the charitable grants comes from $1,000 contributions from individual and ensemble group memberships. Sunday’s Child has grown to more than 150 members since its founding and with this year’s awards, the organization will have awarded more than $230,000 to Pensacola Bay Area non-profits since 2015.

The United States Embassy has invited Chef Chris Sherrill of FloraBama Yacht Club to be one of four international celebrity chefs to participate in a culinary diplomacy project in Cabo Verde, a small archipelago in West Africa. The trip includes participation in the Kavala Fresk Festival on the island of Sao Vicente. Kavala is a species of Atlantic Mackerel and under-utilized in that region of the world, making Chef Chris ideal for this project due to his work with under-utilized fish species and NUISANCE Group. The Embassy has been working with the Government of Cabo Verde to help them develop cultural/eco-tourism as a means to boost their economy and help with regional stability; this festival is one piece of that. Chris is the Co-Founder of NUISANCE Group, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit driven to raise awareness of invasive, underutilized and sustainable fish, flora and fauna. NUISANCE Group has spearheaded the movement to help eradicate invasive species such as lionfish, wild boar and kudzu. The group also introduces consumers to other unfamiliar species by working with bycatch or “trash fish” caught by both commercial and recreational fishermen. Another component of the group’s mission involves reducing food waste by showcasing ways to use food items which are past their prime or which are typically not used. While on this trip, Sherrill will also have the opportunity to spend time in the capital, Praia, to participate in some media events promoting our beautiful Gulf Coast area and meet with young chefs to talk about numerous topics like cuisines, business of being a chef, innovation, importance of using local ingredients, and starting a restaurant. The chef will be hosted by the U.S. Ambassador, Donald L. Heflin, who was raised in Huntsville, Alabama, and studied at BirminghamSouthern College and the University of Alabama. “Cabo Verde can learn from the Gulf Coast’s understanding of the importance of a sustainable, healthy seafood fishery in attracting tourists and providing jobs,” Ambassador Heflin said. “We’re excited to bring
Chef Chris here to showcase the finest in American southern cooking.” One of the many exciting aspects of the trip will also include participation in a cooking demonstration for mayors, corporate sponsors, the former president of the country, and ambassadors of Portugal, China and the United States. This is an amazing opportunity to display ways to utilize Kavala while promoting our country’s rich agricultural and seafood resources along the Gulf Coast. Flora-Bama is proud to have Chef Chris Sherrill as a part of our team and excited for him to participate in this venture and be an ambassador to our area. Among many other accolades, like cooking for the American athletes in London for the 2012 Olympics and competing in the World Food Championships, this past year alone, he won the Perdido Key Wine & Arts Festival for the 4th consecutive year and went on to win the Wharf Uncorked Wine & Food Event in Orange Beach, AL where he won three different categories. Chris was a finalist for the Alabama Restaurant & Hospitality Association’s “Spirit Award” and he was named to Mobile Bay Magazine’s “Top 40 Under 40” list of most influential people. The Coastal Alabama Business Chamber also recognized his efforts as a culinary ambassador for Coastal Alabama by awarding him the “Sand in My Shoes” award, to which he was only the second recipient ever to receive this special award. Also, in late 2016 he joined his long time culinary hero, Chef John Folse, at “Dining By Design” in Baton Rouge. Now in his 5th year as managing partner and executive chef of the Flora-Bama Yacht Club, in Perdido Key, FL, Chris continues to serve as culinary ambassador for the area as well as serving as ambassador for World Food Championship, Certified Angus Beef and Alabama’s Monroe Sausage.

SCOTT SIGNS MEDICAL MARIJUANA PLAN By JIM SAUNDERS AND JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
More than seven months after Floridians overwhelmingly backed the broad legalization of medical marijuana, Gov. Rick Scott on Friday signed a bill aimed at carrying out the voters’ wishes. Lawmakers passed the bill (SB 8-A) during a special session this month after struggling to reach agreement on an implementation plan for the medical-marijuana constitutional amendment, which 71 percent of voters approved in November. Scott’s office sent out a news release after 5:30 p.m. Friday that said he had signed the marijuana bill, along with 37 others, but did not comment. He had indicated earlier he would approve the bill. The constitutional amendment gave doctors the authority to order marijuana for potentially hundreds of thousands of patients who suffer from debilitating conditions including cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV,
AIDS, post-traumatic stress disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. But as is commonly the case, a plan still needed to be put in place to carry out the amendment. The bill resolves issues such as how many companies will receive marijuana licenses and how many retail outlets they can operate. It appears likely, however, that Orlando lawyer John Morgan, who largely bankrolled the constitutional amendment, will challenge part of the bill that bars people from smoking medical marijuana. The bill would allow vaping and other methods of marijuana use. Lawmakers who supported the smoking ban pointed to concerns about issues such as the health effects of smoking marijuana on people’s lungs. But Morgan has vowed to file a lawsuit to try to overturn the ban, saying voters envisioned that patients would

be able to smoke cannabis. “(Smoking) clearly was called for in the amendment, and so what they’ve done for me is allowed me to step back up on my soapbox and go get what the people of Florida wanted when they passed this bill with 71 percent,” Morgan told The News Service of Florida this month. The marijuana measure was the highest-profile bill signed Friday by Scott. Among the others was a bill that would help wireless telecommunications companies in dealing with local government regulations. The measure (HB 687) would limit the ability of local governments to regulate types of equipment known as “small wireless facilities” in public rights of ways. The equipment is for emerging 5G technology. The bill, which becomes law July 1, drew objections from local governments, at least in part, because it would take away their authority.
SPEAKER SAYS VISIT FLORIDA `CLEANING UP THEIR ACT’ By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
House Speaker Richard Corcoran said Visit Florida apparently listened to state lawmakers’ criticism, as the tourism-marketing agency has canceled an auto racing sponsorship and is negotiating for a better deal with an English football club. “It’s clear that Visit Florida has heard us loud and clear and are beginning the process of cleaning up their act and ceasing the waste of taxpayer money,” Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, said in a statement Thursday. During this year’s regular legislative session, Corcoran was highly critical of Visit Florida spending and clashed with Gov. Rick Scott about the agency. Among the more prominent complaints about Visit Florida was
a $1 million deal with Miami rapper Pitbull, along with sponsorships of Fulham Football Club in England and the Visit Florida racing team. Lawmakers during the regular session moved to cut Visit Florida’s budget in 2017-2018 by two-thirds from the current fiscal year. But the funding was bumped up to $76 million --- nearly matching the money in the current year --- during a special session this month. The bill (HB 1A) providing the money also will require Visit Florida contracts valued at $500,000 to be posted online. Contracts over $750,000 will have to go before the Joint Legislative Budget Commission and could be voided within 14 days by the House speaker or Senate president. The plan also caps salaries and imposes travel restrictions on Visit Florida employees.
“We are confident with the new oversight provisions that require House and Senate approval and complete transparency, we will be able to protect taxpayers,” Corcoran said in the statement. On June 2, before the bill was completed, the agency gave a 30-day cancellation notice to the team racing the “Visit Florida car.” Visit Florida Chief Financial Officer Nelson Mongiovi wrote in the notice of cancellation that “Visit Florida must make major changes in its strategic direction moving forward.” The $2.875 million contract --- about $1 million has yet to be paid --- is tied to the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season that concludes in October. While the racing contract ends July 3, Visit Florida is looking to continue its overseas sponsorship of Fulham
FC, a soccer club owned by Shahid “Shad” Khan. Khan is a Naples resident who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League and has been a political backer of Scott. Visit Florida spokesman Stephen Lawson said in an email this week that the tourism agency wants “to receive more deliverables at a lower cost.” Visit Florida has been the main sponsor of Fulham the past two years, with the deal for the recently completed season costing the state agency $1.25 million. As part of the deal, Visit Florida received signage rights at Fulham’s home stadium Craven Cottage, including the agency’s name appearing on the Riverside Stand roof that sits under the landing approach to London’s Heathrow Airport.
the individuals and companies listed. They also include official records of bids, votes and financial transactions. Investigators are looking for records dating back to April 2012. The grand jury subpoenas specifically request information related to The Edison, a restaurant near the heart of Cascades Park in Tallahassee. The high-end eatery has come under increasing fire in recent months, and the city is conducting an audit related to the venture, which received city support during renovations to a historic power plant where the restaurant is located. In a statement released Thursday, City Attorney Lewis Shelley suggested city officials weren’t exactly sure what the FBI was looking for. “Other than the request for information by subpoena, the city has no further information on this matter,”
Shelley said. “City staff is fully cooperating and has begun gathering the requested records.” But the probe could complicate Gillum’s campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. Gillum is facing former Congresswoman Gwen Graham and Winter Park businessman Chris King in the party’s primary, with a well-funded Republican likely on the other side of that battle. Responding to the subpoenas, Gillum’s campaign issued a terse statement focusing on Tallahassee’s obligations. “We expect the city to respond fully and completely to the subpoena and we hope the situation is resolved quickly,” said campaign spokesman Geoff Burgan. That might be the best hope for Gillum, said Susan MacManus, a political science professor at the University of
South Florida. She said that even an investigation that found nothing could be a problem if it drags on. “Just the mere mention of things allows an opponent some sort of entry into attacking you,” she said. One of the people named in the subpoena, Adam Corey, an owner of The Edison, insisted in an op-ed column for the Democrat published last month that there was nothing wrong with the business’ arrangement with the city. Corey wrote that the restaurant “had our share of growing pains,” but expressed confidence that the audit wouldn’t turn up anything. He blamed the media for the controversy. “Despite meeting our contractual obligations, the local newspaper is on a seemingly endless pursuit to create a salacious story where there is not one,” Corey wrote, less than a month before the subpoenas were issued.
“Indeed, the power to issue a subpoena to a citizen and to enforce it with the power of contempt is among the most powerful tools a government may wield,” said the ruling, written by Justice R. Fred Lewis. “Moreover, if we were to hold otherwise, nothing would preclude the formation of other bodies similar to the (citizens’ panel) by other governmental units with concurrent geographical jurisdiction over an officer, all empowered with subpoena power and potentially subjecting an officer to repeated governmental pressure over an extended time, rendering the limitations provision in the (Police Officers’ Bill of Rights) meaningless. “We therefore hold that the (panel’s) invocation of its subpoena power as applied to police officers is unconstitutional because compelled interrogation of police officers in investigations that could lead to their discipline is preempted by the (Police Officers’ Bill of Rights).” The case stemmed from a complaint
filed in 2009 alleging misconduct by D’Agastino during a traffic stop. The Miami police department’s internal affairs division investigated the allegations, including interviewing D’Agastino under oath, and said its findings were “inconclusive” because of a lack of sufficient evidence, according to the Supreme Court ruling. The citizens’ panel, formally known as the City of Miami Civilian Investigative Panel, then issued a subpoena to D’Agastino ordering him to appear and testify. D’Agastino filed a lawsuit, which was subsequently combined with a case filed by the Fraternal Order of Police. The Supreme Court on Thursday focused on the subpoena issue and turned down broader arguments that the Police Officers’ Bill of Rights “preempts” the overall city ordinance governing the citizens panel. Justices agreed to decide the case after appeals courts took different stances on the powers of such citi-
zens’ panels. The 3rd District Court of Appeal sided with the Miami panel in the D’Agastino case, but that decision conflicted with a ruling by the 5th District Court of Appeal in a case from Orange County, according to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruling did not detail the nature of the allegations against D’Agastino. But police conduct, including in cases involving traffic stops, has drawn widespread attention in recent years --- an issue that Lewis appeared to hint at in his opinion. “The many and multiple complexities and conflicts generated in today’s society have produced numerous difficulties inherent in the delivery of police work and services,” Lewis wrote. “The city of Miami, along with other governmental units, have responded to some of those difficulties inherent in modern police work by creating citizen review and investigative panels.”
SUBPOENAS COULD COMPLICATE GILLUM CAMPAIGN
By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Federal investigators have subpoenaed records related to a Tallahassee city agency, raising a new challenge for Mayor Andrew Gillum’s run for governor in 2018. The subpoenas, which were issued last week and first reported by the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper, ask for records related to about two-dozen individuals and companies, most of them involved in construction or other contracting areas. The FBI is involved in the investigation, with the subpoenas issued to the city of Tallahassee and its Community Redevelopment Agency. The records covered by the subpoenas include communications between “any officer of the Tallahassee City Commission” and
COURT BLOCKS PANEL FROM FORCING POLICE TESTIMONY
By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Amid heavy national scrutiny of police conduct, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday said a Miami citizens’ panel did not have the authority to subpoena an officer to testify as part of an investigation into a traffic stop. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous 34-page opinion, said the city-created investigative panel was barred from issuing a subpoena to police Lt. Freddy D’Agastino in 2009 because of a state law known as the “Police Officers’ Bill of Rights.” The court pointed, in part, to the Legislature imposing an “elaborate interrogation framework of rights and obligations” that police agencies must follow in interrogating officers. The ruling said giving a citizens’ investigative panel the ability to subpoena officers would conflict with the state law and, as a result, be unconstitutional.

UF AT TOP OF CLASS FOR PERFORMANCE FUNDING
The University of West Florida, this year, the school, which finished The University of Central Florida By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER which received no state performance 10th on the list, will receive no state finished fifth on the list, earning $36 THE NEWS SERVICE OF funding during the current year performance money in the budget year million in state performance funding, FLORIDA
The University of Florida finished first among the 11 universities eligible for state performance funding in the upcoming budget year, garnering $55 million of the $245 million total. UF netted $7 million in new performance funding, up from $48 million in the current year, in a list approved Thursday by the state university system’s Board of Governors, which was meeting at the University of South Florida. The annual list is based on 10 measurements of performance by each of the institutions, including a six-year graduation rate, salaries of recent graduates, retention of students and student costs. Florida Polytechnic University, the state’s newest school, is not eligible yet. While UF was at the top, dramatic performance funding shifts, both positive and negative, impacted a halfdozen other schools. “In the past four years, we’ve seen steady improvements at the system level and for individual universities,” said Tom Kuntz, chairman of Board of Governors. “Especially exciting is that we’ve seen universities in the bottom three soar to the top of the pack as they’ve renewed their focus on student success.” The University of South Florida, ranked second on the list, netted $13 million in new performance funding, for a total of $45.4 million in state funding.
because it finished among the three lowest-performing schools, had the largest positive change, netting $21 million in state funding after finishing third on the new list. The Pensacola-based school, which finished second to last on the prior list, earned the $21 million in part by also qualifying for bonus performance money awarded to the top three schools. University of West Florida President Martha Saunders said the performance ranking for her school was “a testimony to the hard work of the entire campus over the past few years.” “The additional funding will go a long way toward supporting the success of our students,” she said. UWF’s rise on the list was aided by significant improvements in three key categories, including a measure of students returning for a second year with at least a 2.0 grade point average. The school’s retention rate rose by more than 5 percent, although its 70 percent average remains lowest in the state system, well below the average of 86 percent. New College of Florida qualified for the first time for state performance funding since the current model was put in place in the 2014-15 academic year, earning an additional $2.5 million. Florida A&M University had the largest decrease in state performance funding. After earning $11.5 million
that begins July 1. Larry Robinson, interim president for FAMU, said the school would be implementing a major plan in the coming year to improve student recruitment, advising services and other academic support programs, which will result in higher rankings in the coming years. “Although we have made some improvements, I am not satisfied with the university’s performance,” Robinson said Thursday. “We have developed an aggressive and focused plan for improving on all aspects of the state’s performance metrics.” Florida Gulf Coast University, which earned $8 million in state performance funding this year, also fell into the bottom three, ranking ninth, and will not receive state performance funds. The University of North Florida, which did not qualify for state performance funding this year, ranked 11th on the list and will not receive money. Florida Atlantic University, which tied for first on the 2016 list, will see a $6 million reduction in state performance funding after dropping to seventh on the new allocation list. It will receive a total of $19.4 million in state funds in the new year. Florida State University, which finished fourth, will see a net increase of $3 million, with a total of $38.5 million in state performance funds in the new year.
RAINY SEASON DOUSES FIERY FLORIDA
By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
After months of drought conditions that helped fuel nearly 2,500 wildfires across the state, Florida has quickly moved deep into its rainy season. The rain has been welcomed by crews who spent months battling wildfires, which have consumed more than 250,000 acres of state and federal lands, the worst year for fires since 2011. “We feel very good about what these rains have meant in alleviating the severe fire conditions,” said Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, whose department includes the Florida Forest Service. “And now, in true Florida fashion, we can go from one extreme to the other and prepare for tropical storm activity.” The dry conditions and wildfires caused Gov. Rick Scott to declare a state of emergency in April. The declaration, the first for fires since June 2011, provided the forest service with assistance from a Florida National Guard Blackhawk helicopter, which had a 600-gallon water bucket, to help fight fires. There were days in April when more than 100 separate fires were underway, many consuming more than 100 acres of land. This year’s fires have destroyed 49 homes and
damaged 64 others, according to the forest service Firefighters saved 5,665 other homes. As late as May 30, as many as 84 wildfires burned across Florida. On Wednesday, the forest service website showed just a single wildfire, southeast of Starke in Bradford County. The rains also mean relief for ranchers whose livestock has been grazing on dry, non-irrigated land, and growers, even though most of the seasonal harvests of berries, peppers, sweet corn, potatoes and cabbage are coming to a close. “Florida is known for its extremes in weather,” Putnam said. “If we can get rains without wind, and it appears we are, you’re not going hear me complain too loudly. We’ve been praying for six months for rain, and now we’re grateful for it.” But the rains, even with the tropics appearing to be more active than in past years, don’t mean Florida is out of the woods as far as drought conditions. The National Weather Service noted that much of Central Florida remains below normal for rainfall. From Oct. 1 through June 19, Tampa received 14.16 inches of rain. From 1981 through 2010, the National Weather Service reports the Tampa area averaged 22.17 inches during the same time frame. Still, the National Weather Service noted heavy
$3.6 million less than in the current year. Florida International University, ranked eighth on the list, will gain $2 million for a total of $27.5 million in the new year. All 11 schools also will be able to use their share of $275 million in institutional performance funding. It works like this: The University of Florida will receive $55 million in state performance funding along with $49 million in institutional funds for a total of $104 million in performance funds for the 2017-18 academic year. Florida A&M, which will not receive state performance funding, will still have $14 million in institutional performance funds in the new year. Overall performance funding totals $520 million in the coming year, including the $245 million in state funds, which was increased by $20 million by the 2017 Legislature. The Board of Governors on Thursday also approved an allocation list for $52 million for state-designated “preeminent” and “emerging” pre-eminent schools. The University of Florida and Florida State University will each receive an additional $17.3 million in the coming year as pre-eminent institutions. The University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida will each receive $8.7 million as emerging pre-eminent schools. USF officials said they expect to reach the pre-eminent level in the coming year.
rains this month have brought rainfall totals closer to normal. Statewide, the monthly rainfall averaged 1.59 inches in February, just under an inch in March, and 2.34 inches in April. The state averaged 3.36 inches in May and was at 8.37 inches through the first 20 days of June, according to figures from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In Okeechobee County, where 4 inches of rain was reported from February through the end of May, a total of 18.45 inches of rain has fallen in the first three weeks of June. Nassau County is up to 17.45 inches of rain this month, with Highlands, Martin and Hardee counties each at 14.7 inches. The rains allow forestry officials to return to regular management services that had been put aside because of fires, while water managers have geared up. The South Florida Water Management District announced last week, after Collier and Broward counties were hit by rains that dropped 14 inches across the region, that flood-control systems were being prepared to handle additional water from local governments, drainage districts and homeowner associations due to expected summer rains.
LAWMAKERS TO LOOK AGAIN AT REPLACING GENERAL’S STATUE
By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Lawmakers trying to settle on a new statue to represent Florida at the U.S. Capitol say they will take another shot next year, after legislation to pick the replacement for a Confederate general’s likeness got bottled up in a state House committee. The Legislature voted in 2016 to replace Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith, a figure who critics say has a tenuous connection to the state, during a nationwide backlash against Confederate symbols in the wake of the 2015 shooting deaths of nine African-American worshippers at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C. Lawmakers, however, did not select a new representative for the state in National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. They left the decision to a future vote after an outside panel selected nominees. Each state gets two statues in the hall; Florida’s other spot is held by John Gorrie, widely considered the father of air conditioning. In the 2017 legislative session, though, competing proposals and a House chairman’s concerns about the process stymied efforts to approve a new figure. One proposal (SCR 1360) to use a likeness of Mary McLeod Bethune --- an educator and civilrights activist who founded what is now known as Bethune-Cookman University --- passed the Senate but had no counterpart in the House. Meanwhile, a House measure (HCR 507) that proposed using a likeness of Everglades activist and writer Marjory Stoneman Douglas never got a hearing in the House Local, Federal & Veterans Affairs Subcommittee. Bethune and Douglas were two of three nominees; the other was George Washington Jenkins Jr., founder of the iconic Publix grocery store chain. Bethune was the only candidate to receive the unanimous support of the members of the Great Floridians Committee at a June 2016 meeting.
Former state Rep. Jose Felix Diaz, a Republican who sponsored the House bill before resigning to run in a special election for the Senate, said most states that have decided to replace one of their statues in recent years have needed time to settle on a new figure. Florida will likely be no different. “I think that to get 160 people to agree on one person and one process is going to be difficult,” Diaz said. Among the largest hurdles are concerns from Rep. Scott Plakon, a Longwood Republican who chaired the subcommittee that declined to hear Diaz’s bill. Plakon’s said he has qualms about simply following the lead of the Great Floridians panel. Given that lawmakers hammer out budget bills worth tens of billions of dollars and handle other complex legislation, Plakon said he believes that “somehow, we could pick who goes into Statuary Hall.” He’s also open to dropping Gorrie. “I’d like to hit the reset button that (2018) session and take a fresh look at one or both of them,” Plakon said. Plakon also downplayed the suggestion that he favors Walt Disney for the hall, saying it was simply an idea that he had floated at one point. Meanwhile, state Sen. Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, is continuing to push for Bethune to take Smith’s place. He said he was confident, based on discussions about the legislation, that Bethune will get approved in 2018. “We look forward to both our chambers passing it next year,” he said. Either Bethune or Douglas would mark the 10th statue of a woman in the 100-piece collection, something that Diaz said would bring more balance to the hall. “It’s not reflective of the role that women have had in the history of our country or of our state,” he said.
