A Monumental Project: Pensacola Heritage Foundation and the Pensacola “Galvez” Monument

ensacola Heritage Foundation (PHF), the oldest historic preservation group in Pensacola, was created in 1964 by Mary Turner Rule with the vision to foster the preservation, and increase community awareness, of the rich heritage of Pensacola and Escambia County, Fla. in order to ensure that the unique history, architecture, and landmarks of the area are available for the enjoyment of future generations and tourists who visit the area. Since Pensacola began, generations of men and women have invested in building this city. They built churches, homes, offices, factories, and public buildings for their needs at the moment. But, more often than not, they recognized that those structures were investments with value beyond their own lifetimes. Today those investments constitute the rich inventory of the history, the evolution and the soul of Pensacola. As PHF President Jim Green knows, this organization spearheaded and continues to encourage local efforts to create a thriving historical region. In the last 40 years, PHF restored homes and historic properties with determination, including the Old Barkley House and Dorr House, now a part of the University of West Florida Historic Trust, another professional partner in cultural resources. In past years, PHF’s efforts enhanced the renewal of the Old Seville Square area from ruins to a thriving historical park via the creation of “Evenings in Olde Seville” concert series, which for 25 years attracted over 50,000 visitors during the summer months. Additionally, PHF hosts a decades-long lecture series featuring beloved storyteller, John Appleyard. History essay contests for local high schools allow local students the opportunity to receive a college scholarship. Celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2014, PHF agreed to partner with the City of Pensacola in a series of monuments, gardens, recognitions and presentations that would feature their common missions of heritage tourism. To that end, PHF recognized that the renewed interest in local historical characters would be a fine way to begin this coordinated effort with the city. The first subject will be a life-sized bronze, equestrian statue at the top of the median of Palafox and Wright streets. This statue is the likeness of Bernardo de Gálvez, Pensacola’s hero of the American Revolution. Now you may ask-–who was Gálvez? Why was he the first character PHF chose to share one of the chronicles of Pensacola’s history? Here is a brief “rest of the story.” In March 1781, General Gálvez y Madrid, Viscount of Galveston and Count of Gálvez was a Spanish military leader and colonial administrator who sailed into Pensacola Bay to deliver West Florida from the British in one of the longest battles of the American Revolution. As a unique Spanish character in the narrative of Pensacola, Gálvez’s story is extraordinary. To those who study the American Revolution, this man was a true hero. During the course of several years, this dynamic, energetic man supported the cause of the American patriots against the British. Spain had not yet declared war against the British, but as Spain’s agent in Louisiana, his country

was sympathetic to the patriot’s cause. Functioning under the direction of Spain, Gálvez assisted American patriot Oliver Pollock along the southern part of the Gulf in the Spanish-owned territory of Louisiana. Gálvez was able to keep the British away from the Mississippi River, which they were using to supply their troops. East of the Louisiana Territory, then called West Florida, was under British control and was considered a critically strategic asset. Additionally, it was a former valued colony of Spain. When Gálvez received information indicating that Spain had declared war against the British in 1779, his orders were to “drive the British forces out of Pensacola, Mobile, and the other posts they occupy on the Mississippi.” On his own, as the recently named Governor of Louisiana, he began recruiting soldiers to support his mission across West Florida–-to take the forts away from the British. His expedition across the Gulf Coast was called “La Marcha” and with a force of men that included French, Spanish, Creoles, Native Americans, Africans, Swiss, Mexicans and Arcadians, he overtook the forts of Baton Rouge, Manchac and Natchez and drove the British away from the Mississippi River and its environs. Fort Charlotte in Mobile fell soon after, but because of weather, Gálvez’s trek east and “La Marcha” had to wait a bit for the prize of Pensacola and the English Fort George. By this time, the English had the time to repair and reinforce their stronghold in preparation for the siege that was inevitable. Gálvez knew he needed Havana’s support from the sea in order to take the British fort in Pensacola. He requested and received 30 ships and they arrived in March of 1781. By now, because of his success along the Gulf Coast, Spanish King Charles nominated Gálvez to command all forces even over the more senior officers on board the Spanish ships. When Spanish Admiral Calvo, who was in charge of the fleet, arrived at the mouth of the cut into Pensacola Bay, he declared that the water was too shallow for his ships and they would be at risk from nearby batteries. By that evening, a frustrated now General Gálvez sent a cannon ball with a letter wrapped around it to Admiral Calvo, and suggested that he alone (Yo Solo) would go through the cut to prove it possible. He further added the phrase that indicated: “and let those who were brave enough follow him.” The next morning, Gálvez sailed into Pensacola Bay in his flagship and very quickly the rest of the fleet followed. Quietly, Admiral Calvo returned to Havana. As an

aside, in the year that followed, with the Spanish king’s permission, “Yo Solo” (I Alone) is on the Gálvez family coat of arms. Gálvez’s ships landed at Santa Rosa Island on March 9, 1781 and, over the course of almost three months, continued skirmishes with the British. Finally, Gálvez’s forces dug trenches up to the top of Gage Hill, the location of Fort George, and during the course of fighting on May 8, “a grenade from a Spanish siege howitzer ignited the powder store in the Halfmoon Redoubt, a key strongpoint in Pensacola’s fortification system. Further resistance was useless.” British Commander General Campbell surrendered and West Florida was again under Spanish control. This concise narrative gives only highlights of Bernardo de Gálvez’s intrepid chronicle. It is interesting to note that many scholars have written the history of the “Battle of Pensacola” and a recent interview with Spanish historian Carmen de Reparaz helped codify for me the importance of Gálvez to Pensacola’s history. In the last few decades, Bernardo de Gálvez’s name has become familiar to many historians and the general public. He has never been overlooked in his native Spain as he was always their hero of the American Revolution. In 2007, my friend and Pensacola resident Molly Long was living in Spain as the wife of a Spanish Naval Officer. She was also the president of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Madrid. She urged me to ask our congress to support the American Citizenship of Bernardo de Gálvez. To that end, the Malaga Declaration in support of citizenship was coordinated by Federico Souviron, who was President of Foro Bernardo de Galvez, and Molly’s DAR Madrid. As Molly’s friend, I could not say no, but had no clue how to make this happen. However, I was game to try. Over the course of several months, I was patted on the head by many, who assured me that there had only been seven individuals named an “Honorary Citizen of America” –- Hannah and William Penn, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Raoul Wallenberg, and Mother Teresa. Interestingly, two more honorees were contemporaries of Gálvez: Marquis de Lafayette of France and Casimir Pulaski of Poland. It seemed fair to me to include Bernardo de Gálvez in this pantheon of the Revolution and I thought this just might work. Timing is everything. It did not happen from 2007 to 2010, but neither Molly nor I forgot. There were many coincidences that happened in the period after, and, so

this too includes the rest of the story. Bernardo de Gálvez is the native son of the city of Macharaviaya, and because of his support of the American Revolution, that small town in the northern province of Malaga has a Fourth of July event each year. For years, this delightful city has re-enactments of the Battle of Pensacola on May 8. In 2012, several of us traveled with Honorary Spanish Consul Maria Davis to support Macharaviaya as Pensacola’s “Sister City.” Upon his return to Pensacola, Mayor Ashton Hayward declared every May 8 would be celebrated as “Galvez Day” in Pensacola. Additionally, because of various gifted scholars who began writing extensively about Bernardo de Gálvez, his surname was becoming increasingly familiar. In 2012, Governor Scott recognized him as a “Great Floridian.” Our own University of West Florida and WSRE hosted an original film about Bernardo de Gálvez with a charming actor named Chaz Mena, who portrayed Bernardo de Gálvez. Old friend David Hartman, former host of Good Morning America supplied the historical perspective in the film. The Studers also allowed their library to be used in the film. That film is still available online and I encourage you to view it: Yo Solo: Bernardo de Gálvez on the Stage of the American Revolution. Interestingly, two other actions materialized in 2012 that serendipitously buttressed later events. That year Congressman Jeff Miller renewed his interest in our effort, encouraged by his aid, Sharon Santurri. (Santurri is a descendent of one of those on the “La Marcha” expedition in 1781.) Three city administrators dedicated time to this project and gathered a small cadre to join us. We then resubmitted the argument for the nomination for Galvez’s Honorary Citizenship. By now, numerous scholars had reviewed the original argument from 2007, adding new information, and it was traditionally vetted for accuracy. With the encouragement of the Mayor, the City of Pensacola, Escambia County officials, and various state representatives, the entire Florida delegation unanimously voted to support this effort. Regional Gulf Coast support soon followed thanks to the tireless efforts of Congressman Miller’s staff. Two years went by but Congressman Miller and his dedicated staff never stopped working this issue and gaining support from other Gulf Coast states, especially Texas and Louisiana. It was then that serendipity stepped in. In an unanticipated incident, a letter from the period discovered by a Spanish national indicated that Bernardo de Gálvez was as-

sured that his portrait would be hung in perpetuity in the halls of Congress. Pensacola’s efforts and this event happened almost concurrently. In late 2013, Galvez’s portrait was officially hung in the halls of Congress, recognizing him as an American hero of the Revolution and the name Bernardo de Gálvez was a buzz word for American pride. Finally, in December 2014, Congressman Miller kindly called to tell me that Bernardo de Gálvez Citizenship passed unanimously in both houses of Congress. In January of 2015, President Obama signed the declaration. I cried. Now, 235 years later, Pensacola Heritage Foundation is working to preserve the memory of Bernardo de Gálvez and his aid to the colonists during the American Revolution. The life-sized bronze statue, created by Capt. Robert Rasmussen, is Bernardo de Gálvez astride his horse, headed north up Palafox Street to Fort George, which is across the street from the First Baptist Church-– the highest point in Pensacola. His gesture with his hat seems to say, “Follow me boys!” The base of the statue, designed by local architect Dio Perera, will be locally resourced Spanish granite. The shallow pool around the base will have flowing water running off bronze Fleur di Lis surrounding the base, which represents Gálvez’s time in New Orleans. The pool represents the fact that Gálvez arrived by the sea and each of the four sides of the monument will have the names of the British forts which he captured: Baton Rouge, Manchac, Natchez and Pensacola. Surrounding the statue will be knock out red roses with yellow centers which are the colors of the Spanish flag and represent those who died in the battles. With permission from his heirs, the Gálvez coat of arms will be on the north side of the statue as a reminder of our Pensacola hero and one of the lengthiest battles in the American Revolution. Upon completion on May 8, 2017, the statue becomes a gift to the City of Pensacola from Pensacola Heritage Foundation and the committed donors who supported it. This equestrian statue honoring Gálvez is not the first in America. Another likeness of Bernardo de Gálvez was dedicated in Washington, D.C. during the 1776 Bicentennial of the American Revolution. The Spanish granite base has the following words inscribed which were taken from remarks given that day by the King of Spain: “May the statue of Bernardo de Gálvez serve as a reminder that Spain offered the blood of her soldiers for the cause of American Independence.” Indeed.

National Science Foundation awards $294,000 grant to UWF Earth and Environmental Sciences for interdisciplinary research

Saenger Theatre Enhances the Patron Experience with New Hand Rails The historic Saenger Theatre opened on April 2, 1925. It was the first all-electric building in Pensacola, but it was piped for gas just in case electricity was a “passing fad.” Everything was carved by hand; like the deep curves in the columns surrounding the proscenium stage were made by the elbows of a master craftsman. The original Tiffany chandeliers still glamorously light the audience chamber. Built with all of the modern conveniences of its time, the Grand Dame of Palafox has been missing an important element for all these years—hand rails for the balcony aisles. “Patron comfort and safety is our number one priority for events at the Saenger Theatre,” said Doug Lee, General Manager of the Saenger Theatre. He continued “The historic aisles in the balcony created a challenge for the handrail design, but these new rails are tucked behind the seats and the response that we received from our attendees has been very positive.” The handrails were designed and created by Haute Metalworks in Pensacola and installed by Saenger Operations personnel. The entire project took about six weeks to complete. Bret Barrow, Executive Director of the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra said of the hand rails, “Many of the most beloved seats in the Saenger for Pensacola Symphony concerts are in the balcony. The stadium-style seating allows for clear sightlines and the acoustics are incredible. Before having handrails, it was sometimes a bit tough to carefully traverse the steep balcony aisles. The new handrails provide a much safer experience and they are beautifully designed and fabricated.

They truly remind me of similar railings retrofitted at historic venues like Carnegie Hall (NYC) or the Fox Theatre (ATL).” About Saenger Theatre: The Saenger Theatre is the premier entertainment venue located in downtown Pensacola. The Theatre is home to the Broadway in Pensacola and hosts a variety of events including symphony, opera, ballet, touring concerts, family shows and community events. The Saenger Theatre is owned by the City of Pensacola and professionally managed by SMG, the world leader in venue management, marketing and development. About SMG: Founded in 1977, SMG provides management services to more than 240 public assembly facilities including convention and exhibition centers, arenas, stadiums, theatres, performing arts centers, equestrian facilities, science centers and a variety of other venues. With facilities across the globe, SMG manages more than 15 million square feet of exhibition space and more than 1.5 million sports and entertainment seats. As the recognized global industry leader, SMG provides venue management, sales, marketing, event booking and programming, construction and design consulting, and pre-opening services for such landmark facilities as McCormick Place & Soldier Field in Chicago, Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, Houston’s NRG Park and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The University of West Florida Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, in partnership with colleagues in the UWF Department of Chemistry and Office of Undergraduate Research, has been awarded a $294,000 grant from the National Science Foundation that will be used to enhance interdisciplinary undergraduate research. “Specifically what we’re trying to do is set up earth science projects that collaborate with one or more other departments and that will involve students in earth sciences working with students and faculty in other departments on a multidisciplinary project,” said Dr. Matthew Schwartz, chair of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. The multidisciplinary projects that will be selected will have “at their core” an earth science component, Schwartz said. “From an earth science perspective, we want to demonstrate to our students and faculty that earth sciences involve a lot of other disciplines and a lot of other areas that we may not think about – math

or chemistry, for example,” Schwartz said. These projects coincide with the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering’s larger efforts to provide interdisciplinary academic opportunities for students to gain exposure and hands-on experience in fields outside of their own. Such experiences yield skills that provide students with a comprehensive foundation for professional success in STEM fields. The National Science Foundation grant will provide funding over a three-year period. The funds will support summer research stipends for students, as well as equipment costs to support their research. The grant will also provide opportunities for travel, as students and faculty from Earth and Environmental Sciences and other departments will be able to travel to national level geoscience conferences. “Almost all of the funds are going directly to supporting students,” Schwartz said. “This is an exciting opportunity for our faculty and students. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish with these new resources.”

SCOTT DEFENDS POWER TO APPOINT JUDGES

By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA Pointing to constitutional powers, Gov. Rick Scott and Secretary of State Ken Detzner are asking the Florida Supreme Court to reject challenges to Scott’s authority to appoint four judges across the state. Attorneys for Scott and Detzner filed arguments Monday in the Supreme Court in disputes about whether the governor or voters should choose replacements for three outgoing circuit judges and a Palm Beach County judge. While the underlying circumstances in the circuit-judge cases and the county-judge case differ, the common thread is that Scott accepted resignations from the judges before the start of qualifying for this year’s elections. Though none of the departing judges will leave office for months, Scott and Detzner argue that the governor’s acceptance of the resignations in April created vacancies in office that should be filled through appointments, not elections. “The Constitution … provides that the resignation of an incumbent county judge creates a vacancy in office,’’ Scott’s attorneys wrote in the Palm Beach County case. “And this (Supreme) Court’s precedents have established a bright-line rule that a judicial resignation accepted by the governor before the candidate qualifying period for that office should be filled by gubernatorial appointment.” The cases center on the resignations of Palm Beach

County Judge Laura Johnson, 10th Judicial Circuit Judge Olin Shinholser, 12th Judicial Circuit Judge Scott Brownell and 7th Judicial Circuit Judge Joseph Will. The 10th Circuit includes Highlands, Polk and Hardee counties; the 12th Circuit includes Manatee, Sarasota and DeSoto counties; and the 7th Circuit includes Volusia, Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties. In the Palm Beach County case, Johnson submitted a letter of resignation last month as she prepared to run for a circuit-judge seat. The resignation was effective on the date of taking office as a circuit judge or on the date that her successor as a county judge would take office. The three circuit judges, meanwhile, submitted letters of resignation last month and made them effective in late December, shortly before the judges’ terms would otherwise end in January 2017. The qualifying period for judicial elections was May 2 to May 6. The Supreme Court challenges, filed by attorneys in Palm Beach County and the three circuits, argue that voters should be able to fill the positions, rather than Scott making appointments. “The public’s right to choose who should fill the seat in Group 11 (Johnson’s Palm Beach County seat) through an election should not be abridged by the governor’s attempt to fill the same position through an appointment,” said a petition filed on behalf of Palm Beach County attorney Gregg Lerman, a potential

candidate for the county judgeship. In the circuit-court cases, challengers suggested, in part, that the outgoing judges had used the process to try to ensure that successors would be appointed instead of elected. “Our Constitution provides that circuit judges shall be elected by a vote of the electors,” said a petition filed on behalf of Lakeland attorney Steve Pincket, challenging the appointment of a replacement for Shinholser. “It is not for the departing judge to circumvent the elective process by resigning with an effective date a few days before the end of the term, simply because that judge holds a personal view that the appointment process might yield a better result.” But Detzner’s attorneys, in the documents filed Monday, pointed to a similar 2014 case in which the 1st District Court of Appeal upheld the authority of Scott to appoint a replacement for retiring Judge Donald Moran in Northeast Florida’s 4th Judicial Circuit. The Supreme Court declined to take up that challenge. “(The) ‘ultimate question’ here … is whether petitioner (Pincket) has a clear legal right to qualify for election to the seat at issue,’’ Detzner’s attorneys wrote. “And the answer is simple: No, because Article V (of the Florida Constitution) requires filling the vacancy by appointment, obviating an election for which the secretary could qualify candidates. The motivation of a judge in submitting his or her resignation is beside the point.”

SCOTT GATHERS BUSINESS, EDUCATION LEADERS TO DISCUSS HIGHER ED By MARGIE MENZEL THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA Florida government, business and education leaders will gather in Orlando this week to discuss how state colleges and universities can better turn academic degrees into high-paying jobs. Gov. Rick Scott created the invitation-only “Degrees to Jobs Summit” to put university and college presidents and trustees in talks with the business community. “This really is a call to action,” said Cissy Proctor, executive director of the Florida Department of Employment Opportunity. “We want them to leave with an action plan.” For instance, she said, the confab could produce tailored internship programs or closer relationships between individual schools and businesses. “We want to make sure we close the skills gap, so when a graduate leaves the university and goes into the workforce, they are ready to hit the ground running on day one,” she said. The event will include state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater, Senate President Andy Gardiner and Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, along

with members of the state university system’s Board of Governors and trustees and presidents of universities and state colleges. It also will include businesspeople representing companies such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Florida Blue, CVS, Rayonier Advanced Materials, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Deutsche Bank and Harris Corporation. “The question everyone’s asking is, ‘How can we better align what our students are doing at the universities and colleges with what employers actually need?’ “ said Mark Wilson, president and CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, which is helping sponsor the event. Wilson said the state will add 6 million residents over the next 15 years and create 2 million new jobs. “We’re actually aligning our education system so that kids, parents, schools, educators are all going to be aligned to what the needs of employers are,” he said. “Keep in mind that by 2030, half the jobs that we have today are going to be gone.” But Jennifer Proffitt, president of the United Faculty of Florida, the faculty union, said there should

be more to an education than jobs and salaries. “The real mission of higher education is to develop educated, well-rounded citizens, and the leaders of tomorrow who can communicate and write effectively, who can think critically, who can be problem solvers,” she said. “That’s the important part of higher education.” Proffittt also said that her group, which represents more than 22,000 faculty members statewide, wasn’t invited to the event, which starts with a reception Tuesday night and includes events Wednesday and Thursday. “We have lots of ideas of how we can improve higher education,” she said. “Talk to the faculty; talk to the students. Have a real conversation. That’s what I was hoping this summit would be, but it doesn’t seem to be that way.” Proctor, however, said some faculty members were invited to be panelists at the conference. “We want to make sure that they understand that when a student needs a certain skill gap closed, that a lot of times the faculty are the ones doing that,” she said. “So they are absolutely part of the conversation.”

From orchard to table, apples bring flavor for the perfect picnic

Family Features

here’s nothing like the perfect picnic or barbecue to slow down and reconnect with friends and family. This season, gather together guests and surprise them with a rustic backyard picnic, starring delicious new recipes that bring out the flavor of apples — a versatile and healthy year-round fruit. Filled with healthy antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals, apples add a flavorful twist to classic picnic fare. For a refreshing treat that both kids and adults will love, try the Strawberry Banana Smoothie Popsicle, made with Tree Top Apple Juice.

Designing a Backyard Party Is Easy Set the scene with the right décor and a little bit of creativity — and let nature take care of the rest. n Find vintage plates and serving pieces at a local flea market. n Serve beverages in Mason jars, which can also be used as flower vases. n Cover a rustic table with gingham tablecloth. n Fill large wicker baskets with apples to use as centerpieces. n If hosting in the evening, line the table with tea lights and lanterns.
