LOCAL RESOURCES FOR OUR AREA’S HEROES BY JOSH NEWBY
T
he often-unseen servants of our nation and protectors of liberty, the members of our armed services are also economic drivers and the catalyst for positive change in Northwest Florida. They perform their duties in service to our country, often without regard for self-fulfillment or family. But, when it comes time for our country to pay them back and allow them to stand at ease, the resources at their disposal are often hidden behind layers of bureaucracy and a backlogged system that often hinders more than it helps. The impact of Florida’s military economy is more than $70 billion. That number is expected to balloon to more than $100 billion by 2030. The state’s 20 major military installations account for 758,000 jobs, including 61,000 active-duty service members and about 25,000 civilians who serve. The average wage per military job in Florida is $77,000, making the industry one of the most high-wage employers in the state. There are also about 1.5 million combat veterans in Florida, expected to increase to 1.9 million by 2030. Locally, the Department of Defense is the largest economic engine in Greater Pensacola, according to Florida West Economic Development Alliance. Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Saufley Field, Corry Station, Naval Hospital Pensacola and Whiting Field is responsible for about $7.8 billion in economic impact. NAS Pensacola alone provides support to 89 DoD and 30 nonDoD commands. An enterprise of this scale means 27,631 uniformed and civilian jobs, $409 million in annual defense procurement spending, an average wage of $82,890 for military and defense positions, and more than 330,000 veterans in Northwest Florida alone. With such a massive military presence in our region, you would think it would be a no-brainer that those whom the armed services protect would have their back financially once it was time to step down. Unfortunately, as many are aware, that is often the opposite of the case. On any given night in our country, more than 50,000 veterans are homeless. Seventy-five percent of these heroes are wartime—mostly Vietnam-era— veterans. While there are nearly 1,500 Veterans Affairs facilities in the country, there is still a backlog of about 75,000 cases. Many veterans either commit suicide or turn to addiction when faced with the news that they will have to wait months to receive the mental health attention they need. Fortunately, there is good news to be found in all this. Backlogged cases peaked in 2013 with 612,000, so the new number, while still regrettable, is not nearly as bad as it could be. This is in large part thanks to the White House and VA pledging to eliminate the backlog in 2015, as well as a number of state and local agencies working with com-

munity partners to help veterans in our own area. The Panhandle Warrior Partnership is one such organization. The relatively new 501(c)3 is dedicated to ensuring every warrior and their family throughout the Panhandle has greater access to benefits and housing, use of the GI Bill for education, help with employment and so on. Their four-step program, which involves connecting, educating, advocating and collaborating, has housed 39 homeless, enrolled 945 in educational programs, helped employ 495 individuals, enrolled 1,265 in VA healthcare, and registered 2,944 for VA benefits. “Every vet’s need is different and we take a very individualized approach to helping them,” said Executive Director Dan Verda. “These people are often referred to us, at which point we learn as much as we can about their situation and need. Where do they live, where do they work, what are their goals?” The Partnership then works to help each veteran accomplish those goals, whether it’s to find housing or complete a degree and find work in a high-demand field. “We also work to educate both sides of the equation,” said Verda. “We work with the community to understand the vets’ value and promote the importance of accepting these people with open arms. We of course work with the veteran to educate them on the resources available to them, then we work with them every step of the way.” Whether it is 90 Works, local veteran help centers, the University of West Florida, Pensacola State College, or other public service organizations, the Partnership is deeply entrenched in every level of every facet veterans could need. “Our case coordinators will check back in with the clients and provide constant follow-up,” said Verda. “Obstacles occur for these veterans and we want to be there to advocate for them.” Verda said the problem many clients face is the large amount of bureaucracy implicit in any big government organization. There are also a number of legal intricacies that veterans have to navigate. The amount of red tape means that inevitably some will get lost in the process. That is when it is all too easy to get dis-
couraged. “A lot of people don’t realize just how hard it is to navigate,” said Verda. “I liken it to doing taxes. If you just have one income and you’re unmarried, it is very easy to file taxes. But if you recently sold a house, you own a small business, have kids who just moved out, and a spouse who works from home, you’re going to want to hire a professional to do your taxes. We are those professionals for vets. They earned these benefits and we want to ensure they get them.” With just a ten-person staff, you would think it would be easy for the Partnership to get overwhelmed. Luckily, they have a very clear system of prioritization. If a veteran is either homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, that individual gets instant attention. Another agency that also
support system for these individuals coming through.” It has been a huge monetary success for the university, account for about $6.5 million per year in revenue. At this point, about 25 percent of the campus population is military-affiliated. The MVRC has since grown beyond its initial goals, though, and now offers guidance services, social work services, writing assistance and more. UWF is one of the few institutions in the state that has an agency like this one. With Northwest Florida’s strong concentration of military and veterans, it has been a great success, even drawing potential students from other areas of the state to our shores. “I believe we’ve been successful because at the end of the day, we really are all about customer service,” said Churchwell. “We work with these students as soon
works hard for those who have sacrificed so much for us is the Military Veteran Resource Center (MVRC) on the UWF campus. Headed up by Marc Churchwell, the department has grown significantly since it first opened a little over four years ago. Before its inception, Churchwell identified a big gap in assistance for navigating the GI Bill. He realized it would be advantageous to both clients and the university if there were an agency dedicated to helping veterans use those benefits. “They often don’t know how to use it or apply for it,” said Churchwell, referring to the GI Bill provided to veterans to attend college on the government’s dime. “We talked with advisors on campus and quickly built a
as they enter the door and offer a hands-on approach. If you need to go across campus to speak with an advisor, we will actually take you there. We don’t want to lose them at any step along the way.” Churchwell is also working to establish a support network of different organizations called the Pensacola Veteran Support Organization Network. Right now, it is an email group through which clients are referred to partners in the area that can address a specific need. Another big issue in veterans’ lives is healthcare. Increasing costs and barriers to help are unfortunately a recipe for disaster, but Sacred Heart Health System is taking matters into its own hands. The organization recently
announced a partnership to provide care through the Veterans Choice Program, giving veterans the choice to receive care at Sacred Hearts throughout the region. Qualified veterans who face wait times in excess of 30 days at the VA or have to travel farther than 40 miles from their home can receive care from Sacred Heart doctors at 50 sites between Gulf Shores, Ala. and Apalachicola, Fla., according to a hospital press release. “No population is more vulnerable and more deserving of our compassion and support than our nation’s veterans,” Susan Davis, president and CEO of Sacred Heart Health System, said in the release. “The men and women in our community who have sacrificed so much for us deserve access to high quality health care. Working together, we have every confidence that our Veterans Choice public-private partnership will advance care for our military veterans.” The Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 established funding to pay for healthcare services provided to veterans by private healthcare providers. Through the partnership, Sacred Heart physicians and other caregivers are authorized to provide primary care, inpatient and outpatient specialty care, and mental health for eligible veterans outside of VA. Veterans who qualify for VA healthcare can continue to receive care at a VA medical facility of their choice as they have in the past. The program will end when the allocated funds of $10 billion are used or no later than Aug. 7, 2017. The VA is never going to work all the way through their backlog, by their own admission. Churchwell thinks this is due to the organization’s sheer size. “It affects so many lives that you can’t just shut it down for a bit, work through the backlog, and establish better processes and procedures,” said Churchwell. “It has to keep going.” And so does a regional approach to helping veterans. Through grassroots organizations like the Panhandle Warrior Partnership and more institutional solutions like the MVRC, we can continue to work together to fight for these veterans as they have fought for us.

A 90 percent High School Graduation Rate Would Add Millions to Area Economy
Animated Shards by Gila Rayberg at Artel Gallery
Artel Gallery presents “Animated Shards” by Perdido Key artist, Gila Rayberg, which will be on display through May 27. Gila’s unique mosaic portraits continue to gain her international recognition. She has won numerous awards, been published in five books, and has artworks in private collections around the world. Last year, Gila had her premier solo exhibit at Eastern Shore Arts Center in Fairhope, Ala., and is very much looking forward to her first solo exhibit closer to home in Pensacola. In recent years, Gila’s work has seen the increased use of recycled materials with shards of dishes and pottery in addi-
tion to glass, stone, ceramic, and found objects. Gila brings her subjects to life, animating them with undulating textures and vibrant patterns. Her work denotes strength and provokes emotions, but always with a twist of humor. In keeping with Artel Gallery’s commitment to showcase cutting-edge artwork, “Animated Shards” will also feature Gila’s newest, experimental sculptural works, which are being conceived in her studio at this very moment. Studio appointments are available by calling 850-7911070. For more on the artist and her works, visit GilaMosaics.com.
By Allison Tyler atyler1@uwf.edu In a new column, Allison Tyler, economic development coordinator with the Haas Center at the University of West Florida, shares her perspective on high school graduation rates. Tyler has found that raising the Pensacola area’s high school graduation rate from 77 percent, where it currently stands, to 90 percent would result in $30 million in additional earnings and $1 million in additional tax revenue through 2022. Her article on the subject is below. Officials in Alabama are celebrating a recent announcement that the state’s high school graduation rate has reached 89 percent, one percentage point shy of the 90 percent goal the state set for students to meet by 2020. This is a 15-point increase since 2012 when the state’s Board of Education set out to improve its education system through a series of initiatives and goals collectively referred to as Plan 2020. A high school diploma has long been a minimum requirement for most employment but increasingly that is no longer enough. As the demand for a high-skilled, knowledge-based workforce continues to increase, the employment opportunities for individuals without some form of post-secondary education will continue to decrease. The U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates nationwide only 73 percent of high school graduates age 25 to 64 are in the labor force, and only 66 percent are employed. Meanwhile, an estimated 86 percent of individuals with a bachelor’s degree or higher are in the labor force and 82 percent are employed. Furthermore, it is well documented that income typically increases with level of educational attainment. Nationwide, the ACS estimates an individual with a bachelor’s degree earns on average $50,515 annually, compared to only $27,868 for an individual who has only completed high school. Those receiving graduate and professional degrees earn even more– $66,944 on average. Higher earnings benefit not only the individual but also the local economy in the form of increased spending, tax revenue and gross domestic product. The 2014 report, “Obstacles into Opportunities,” by the Public Affairs Research Council of
Alabama and economists from Auburn University at Montgomery calculated the impact a 90 percent high school graduation rate would have on the state of Alabama. They estimated a 10-point increase from 80 to 90 percent between 2014 and 2020 would result in 5,643 additional graduates in 2020. An estimated 3,564 of those graduates would be employed resulting in $112.9 million more in earnings. The authors then looked at what these 3,564 graduates would have earned had they not completed their degrees. It is assumed that 2,397 of those graduates would have entered the workforce even if they had not earned their high school diploma, collectively earning $44.7 million. Moving to a 90 percent graduation rate in 2020 would result in a net increase in employment of 1,167 and $68.1 million in annual earnings in Alabama. The cumulative impact between 2014 and 2020 is even greater. The state would see an additional graduation of 22,597 high school seniors, additional employment of 15,291 full-time jobs, a net new employment of 4,673 jobs, and net new earnings of $280 million. The Haas Center conducted similar calculations to determine the impact a 90 percent high school graduation rate would have on the two-county Pensacola area. Using the area’s 2015 graduation rate of 77.1 percent as a baseline, reaching a 90 percent rate by 2020 would require an average annual increase of 1.8 percent. Using the Florida Department of Education’s current enrollment data, the number of graduates was calculated for each year using the current graduation rate of 77.1 percent and the elevated graduation rate. A 90 percent graduation rate in 2022 would result in 644 additional graduates that year. Cumulatively, this would result in 2,537 additional graduates across the Pensacola area. The PARCA study assumes that 36.8 percent of high school graduates will not pursue college, and only 30 percent of those who do will graduate. In Pensacola, 85 percent of college graduates enter the labor force, and 90 percent who do are employed with median annual earnings of $43,185. Applying those figures means that in 2022, Pensacola would have 93 additional college graduates collectively earning over $4 million.
At the same time, only 69 percent of high school graduates in Pensacola enter the labor force, and 87 percent of those who do are employed with median annual earnings of $25,215. Applying those figures would mean that in 2022, there would be 313 additional high school graduates collectively earning approximately $7.9 million. We then looked at what these 644 graduates would have earned had they not completed their high school degrees. In Pensacola, 53 percent of nonhigh school graduates enter the workforce anyways, albeit with lower earnings. Seventy-four percent of those in the workforce would be employed earning approximately $16,770 annually. Collectively, this would result in 253 individuals earning approximately $4.2 million annually. With this assumption, one can expect that by year 2022, the area would see a net increase of 154 employees earning approximately $7.7 million and an additional $250,000 in tax revenue. The cumulative impact of a 13-point increase in high school graduation rates between 2016 and 2022 is more than 2,500 additional high school graduates and more than 600 additional employees earning approximately $30.3 million and contributing an additional $1 million in tax revenue. A limitation of these calculations is the assumption that additional high school or college graduates entering the labor force have the requisite skill sets local employers need to fill available positions. It is not enough to simply graduate more students. Communities across the country are faced with the challenge of adequately preparing graduates to meet the current and future needs of local employers in order to retain local talent.

STATE DROPS CASES AGAINST PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINICS By MARGIE MENZEL THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Citing a new abortion law signed by Gov. Rick Scott, the state Agency for Health Care Administration has dismissed cases alleging that three Planned Parenthood clinics performed second-trimester abortions without proper licenses. The cases stem from a series of AHCA inspections last summer, which produced similar administrative charges against Planned Parenthood centers in St. Petersburg, Fort Myers and Naples and the Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center in Gainesville. The agency contended that the clinics --- based on their own records --were performing abortions within the second trimester, which they were not licensed to do. The clinics, however, said they had not performed any illegal procedures, but that AHCA used a shifting definition of what constitutes the first trimester of pregnancy to bring the allegations. On Monday, AHCA spokeswoman Mallory McManus said the argument is resolved by Scott’s approval Friday of a sweeping new law (HB 1411) that contains a new definition of the first trimester consistent with the state’s position. “On Friday, Governor Scott signed HB 1411, which rendered these administrative proceedings moot,” McManus wrote in an email. “We will continue to hold Planned Parenthood and all Florida clinics accountable to following the law.” In citing the clinics last summer, AHCA investigators relied on a rule defining the second trimester as “the portion of a pregnancy following the 12th week and extending through the
24th week of gestation.” Agency documents showed that some abortions at the clinics were performed after the 12th week but before the 14th week. In response, the clinics pointed to an AHCA rule of nearly a decade’s standing that allowed first-trimester abortions during the 14 weeks after a woman’s last normal menstrual period. After a legal skirmish in August, the state said the clinics could continue to operate but were still under investigation. On Monday, Barbara Zdravecky, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida, blasted the agency for “political gamesmanship” in a statement. “How convenient that now, six months later, they are conceding their case and dropping these politically motivated charges at the same moment that Rick Scott has signed new trimester standards into law that fly in the face of medically accepted standards,” Zdravecky said. “These actions by AHCA make clear they had no evidence and they knew it. Despite this, AHCA filed the charges and caused Planned Parenthood to devote considerable time and resources to frivolous and unwarranted charges when such resources could have been devoted to providing additional care and services to the Floridians who rely on Planned Parenthood every day for health care.” Although the charges were dropped against the three Planned Parenthood clinics, the allegations against Bread and Roses Women’s Health Center were not. McManus told The News Service of Florida that was “because the case has already been tried before the administrative law judge.”
The Bread and Roses case was heard by an administrative law judge early this month, but the Planned Parenthood cases --- originally scheduled for late January --- had been moved to late April. However, said Tallahassee attorney Bob Weiss, who represents Bread and Roses, “You can go to trial on a case and then dismiss it. There’s nothing that obligates them to continue to pursue this case.” Weiss and Julie Gallagher, a Tallahassee attorney who represents the three Planned Parenthood clinics, said the state is trying to impose a new legal definition on a medical unknown: the moment of fertilization. The new law changes the definition of a first trimester to the period from fertilization through the end of the 11th week of pregnancy. But Gallagher said because there is no way to pinpoint the moment when fertilization occurs, the only way to measure a pregnancy is based on the date of the woman’s last menstrual period. “The prevailing medical standard is always to measure weeks of pregnancy based on the last menstrual period because nobody is positive when fertilization occurs,” Gallagher said. “AHCA now has gone and gotten this new definition put in, but since it goes against everything that the medical profession does, it’s unclear how AHCA intends to use the definition.” She predicted the agency’s rule-making process in putting HB 1411 into effect would be a difficult one. McManus, however, said that would not be an issue. “A rule would not be necessary, because the definition is in statute,” she said.

SCOTT’S TOP BUSINESS RECRUITER TO EXIT JOB By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Gov. Rick Scott’s top business recruiter for the past year is leaving the job. An announcement Monday about Enterprise Florida President and CEO Bill Johnson’s pending departure came a little more than two weeks after state lawmakers declined to go along with Scott’s request to provide the public-private agency with $250 million for corporate recruitment. The governor’s office announced that Johnson will be “transitioning out” of the Enterprise Florida top job, which he started in March 2015 at an annual salary of $265,000. No reason for Johnson’s departure was provided. An Enterprise Florida spokesman deferred to the announcement from Scott’s office when asked for comment. On Monday, Scott also sent a letter to the Enterprise Florida board calling for $6 million in cuts to office space and staff --- the agency has a $9 million payroll for about 90 employees --- because of the
decision by the Legislature to not go along with the funding request. “Clearly, we have no choice but to refocus the efforts and mission of Enterprise Florida,” Scott wrote. Scott also asked the board in the letter to consider services that could be run entirely by the private sector. Scott expects both proposals to be discussed at the board’s May 11 meeting. The announcement from the governor’s office about Johnson’s departure said details were still being finalized “to allow Mr. Johnson to fulfill existing EFI commitments.” Johnson thanked the Enterprise Florida Board of Directors, staff and Scott. “Our economy is growing with more and more businesses selecting Florida over our competitors,” Johnson said in the release. Scott, meanwhile, credited Johnson for efforts to attract businesses to Florida. “Bill has been laser-focused on helping us beat Texas to become the number one state for job creation in the nation and we
are deeply grateful for his service to our state,” Scott said. During this year’s session, Johnson pursued legislative approval of Scott’s proposed $250 million for business-recruitment efforts. But in the end, Scott and Johnson failed to sway lawmakers that Enterprise Florida was running short of the cash needed to close corporate-relocation deals. Throughout the end of 2015 and into 2016, Scott and Johnson often repeated that the agency was down to just $9 million from the $43 million that lawmakers had set aside in 2015 for business recruitment efforts. The claim drew skepticism from lawmakers, and critics called the funding proposal corporate welfare. In August, Johnson, a former PortMiami leader, received a $50,000 bonus from the Enterprise Florida board as the agency exceeded all 52 benchmarks and 18 contractual goals set that year. The bonus was prorated due to Johnson’s time with the agency.

inding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate, fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realize. Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make every day dishes more healthful and delicious. Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 percent mushrooms can enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients, and trim total calories and fat intake. Any mushroom variety will work. Creminis and portabellas lend rich, earthy flavors to any meal, while white button mushrooms offer a more delicate taste. For the more adven turous eaters, maitake and shiitake varieties bring a bold woodsy taste and meaty texture to the plate. The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. For example, if using ground meat for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture, using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve or quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry.
