Escambia Votes by Dawn Gresko Have you voted? Sometimes it’s a question we dread to hear, but the answer is important regardless of your party affiliation. While the presidential primary election is on our minds this March, it is essential to realize there is more to voting than submitting your ballot for president every four years on Election Day. There are three main ways to vote in Escambia County and Florida: absentee voting, early inperson voting, and voting on Election Day. In Florida, there is a “no excuse” absentee voting, which means anyone can vote via mail without needing an excuse for the absence, such as deployed military, out of county, or cannot come into a poll location due to hospitalization. A total of 26 percent citizens chose to vote by absentee ballot in the last presidential election in 2012. The first votes counted are absentee votes in which the election worker team separates ballots from envelopes then submits to a tabulator. Early in-person voting will occur at seven locations in Escambia County for a total of eight days, starting March 5, for a total of nine hours per day from 8 am to 5 pm. There are differences between counties on the days and hours of voting, since state law leaves the decision up to individual supervisors in each county. At least eight days with a minimum of eight hours a day must be allotted for early voting, beginning on the tenth day and ending on the third day before the presidential election. There were 29 percent of Escambia County voters who chose to cast their ballots early in the most recent presidential election in 2012. At the end of the early voting period, thumb drives are removed from the DS200 tabulators and then read into an electronic port manager where the results are accumulated. The team does not touch the results, and, in fact, they sign sworn statements to make sure they do not peek at any of the submissions. Election Day voting will take place this year on March 15 from 7 am to 7 pm at 79 voting locations in Escambia County. In 2012, a total of 45 percent of voters chose to cast their ballots on Election Day. “As a community, we get really excited in the Presidential Primary Election year and more people vote,” said Sonya Daniel, Deputy SOE of Administration at the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office. “But, people don’t always realize that the decisions to pave roads, build schools, libraries, parks and more, all of it is determined by the local races: general elections in August and November, which occur in off years between presidential elections. Being an active part of pro-
cess is more than just voting for president every four years.” On Election Day, tabulators accumulate votes throughout the day then once the polls close a secure wireless modem communicates data back to the Supervisor of Elections Office where it is stored until all votes are received and the canvassing board certifies the results. Looking at previous presidential elections in Escambia County, perhaps the most relevant statistics to compare to this year’s election are from the 2008 presidential election, because both Democrats and Republicans had opportunity to vote in 2008. In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama was unopposed within the Democratic Party, which meant only Republicans had the chance to vote in the Presidential Primary for the candidate they wanted to represent their party. In 2008, there was a total of 80,000 ballots cast in Escambia County and votes were a little over 53 percent Republican and 39 percent Democratic. The remaining 7 percent of votes were nonpartisan. As far as equipment goes, Florida has its own certification program while a lot of states rely on federal certification. There are three systems certified in Florida and Escambia County has digital scan tabulators (DS200 and DS850), an electronic poll book (EViD), and a ballot marking device (AutoMARK) that became a requirement after the 2004 elections in which reforms required that Florida have a device that was fully accessible to persons with disabilities. Okaloosa County just started using the electronic poll books, or EViDs, this election cycle. In the case of duplicate voting, or when a person tries to vote twice, if they go to a polling place after voting via absentee ballot, then EViD will deny access to the voter by letting them know “Sorry, you already voted.” The flip side is also true, so if you go to a polling place and vote then try to send in an absentee vote, the tabulator will not accept your ballot because it will recognize that you already voted based on the information gathered from the statewide voter database. So what can you expect when you go to the polls? Be prepared to present your photo/signature identification (e.g. driver’s license, passport, military or student ID) to an election worker, find your name located in the electronic poll book (EViD), confirm photo ID and signature before you are issued a voting pass, which is turned in at the ballot table before your ballot is issued. You then take it to the privacy booth where you submit the ballot to the DS200 Tabulator and receive the “I Voted” sticker. The AutoMARK uses a digital
scan ballot, which allows voters with disabilities the option of a touch screen or audio headset function to mark their ballot. The screen also has large-print capability and adjustable screen contrast for better viewing. Those who do not have an acceptable photo and signature identification at the polls may vote a provisional ballot, which must be approved by the county canvassing board—who compare your signature on the provisional ballot to the signature on your voter registration record. If the signatures match, your vote will be counted. The canvassing board is composed of the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford, as well as members of the Board of County Commissioners and a county judge. “One common misconception is that election workers are volunteers,” said David Stafford, Escambia County Supervisor of Elections. “That’s not true, all election workers get paid. When you’re doing something as critical as an election, if 20 percent of people working behind the scenes
60 days before every election. Planning for the primary election can begin as soon as the previous primary has concluded, so to some extent the Supervisor of Elections Office began planning for the 2016 presidential election soon after the 2012 election. However, preparations kick into overdrive about 120 days prior to the presidential election. Part of that planning process stems from voter education and outreach programs, spearheaded by Brandi Ziglar and Sonya Daniel, for adults and children alike. They have found the most diligent group of voters are seniors from ages 66 and up. For that reason, the Supervisor of Elections Office team tries to piggyback on events hosted by the Council on Aging and they go to senior dining sites to talk with seniors about updating their signatures (since the signatures changes as we get older). Sonya and Brandi also bring the AutoMARK to show seniors how to use the machine, which especially helps those with shaky hands fill out the ballot on a touchscreen
don’t show up you’re in a world of trouble. Still, we tend to see people not in it for the money. The election workers do it because they see it as a way to contribute to fellow citizens and help fulfill their civic duty.” There are between 500 and 600 election workers employed in Escambia County. Some general responsibilities of the election workers include setting up the polling place before 7 am opening, dealing patiently with the public and co-workers, performing assigned duties, and working with other poll workers to pack up materials and machines after last voter. The different election worker titles are as follows: clerk, EViD supervisor, EViD operator, ballot issuer, equipment operator, and poll deputy. Poll workers, also referred to as election workers, can work anywhere from 14 to 16 hour days during an election year. The workers attend a minimum of two hours of training about 45 to
interface that can be erased if an individual makes a mistake, or doesn’t mark an area clearly. Sonya and Brandi have gone to elementary schools to help children participate in voting through the Sunshine State Reader Program (SRP), which runs through second to fifth grades. The children read a minimum of five books from a list of a dozen books given to them by the teacher, and if they finish enough of the books, they can vote for a favorite. The goal is to incorporate voter education by printing ballots similar to what adults in the children’s life will use on Election Day. The children also become familiar with voting equipment, such as the EViD, DS200 Tabulator, and AutoMARKs—the latter of which is used for special needs students. “We put our Escambia County youths through mock voting for two reasons,” said Brandi Ziglar, communications specialist at Escambia County Supervisor of
Elections Office. “First is so they get familiar with voting equipment and it’s not intimidating when they get older. Second, it’s a fun and engaging activity, which encourages kids to read so they can vote on a favorite book.” Thanks to the grant provided to the Supervisor of Elections Office by the Help America Vote Act, many of the voter registration drives and voting events can be done with no cost to the schools. As for high school, the Supervisor of Elections has gotten involved by helping assist with high school SGA elections, as well as homecoming and prom court elections. Again, the idea is the same: to expose students to the same type of ballots, voting booths and equipment used in real elections. Plus, 16 to 17 year olds can pre-register to vote. “What many people don’t realize is that 16 to 17 year olds can pre-register to vote,” said Brandi. “So, we host voter registration drives at high schools, so those teenagers can pre-register to vote. The week of their 18th birthday, Mr. Stafford signs a letter saying, ‘Happy birthday, you are now official registered to vote in Escambia County’.” In addition to voter registration drives at Escambia County schools, the Supervisor of Elections sets up a table for voter registration outside of their office (213 Palafox St.) every month on Gallery Night from 5 to 7 pm. They also attend local events, such as those hosted by the Pensacola Symphony, as well as Ice Flyers and Blue Wahoo games to promote voter awareness. The office has also partnered with Pensacola NAS to make sure military members are registered voters and have updated addresses. Sonya and Brandi were also excited to announce that they attend every naturalization ceremony, including the most recent ceremony on Feb. 19, which occurs five times a year. According to Sonya and Brandi, the naturalized citizens are the most excited about registering to vote for what is usually the first time in their lives. “With all of our outreach efforts, the 18 to 25 year olds have more registered than any other age group but they are less likely to vote,” said Sonya. “This is why we’ve put emphasis on having actually voting experiences early on in elementary schools and now high school. We feel like if we can get younger members of the community to be part of that process then they are inclined to stick with it.” For the new year, consider taking an interest in the local races and add voting to your list of resolutions.

News From The Bar Association

Pensacola Opera Recently the Supreme Court handed down a decision relating to the Florida death penalty and the 6th Amendment. Coincidentally, Pensacola Opera was exploring the possibility of producing Dead Man Walking as part of next season’s repertoire. I am on the Opera Board and want to bring this to your attention. The opera is the story of a nun’s spiritual journey, as told by Sister Helen Prejean, and centers on the theme of the death penalty. The operatic version is much more powerful than the movie of the same title. It begins with a rather graphic (but in silhouette) rape scene. There is never any doubt about the guilt of the protagonist. The drama includes both perspectives: the grief of the victims’ parents and the agony and eventual confession of the
death row inmate whom Sister Helen counsels. The final, emotionally riveting scene is the execution. The criminal is strapped to the gurney. The scene is devoid of any musical score, but is accompanied only by rhythmic heartbeats that slowly fade away. Then the audience hears the voice of Sister Helen’s operatic hymn. It is very powerful. If the Opera produces Dead Man Walking March 2017, as planned, it will be the Florida premier of this contemporary opera. Jake Heggie, the composer, has agreed to come to Pensacola for the occasion. Sister Helen has agreed to speak to the bar association next fall. We will coordinate with other arts agencies and community groups to foster robust discussion on both sides of this important issue. (For exam-
ple, there is a traveling art exhibit of the last meals of prisoners who have been executed.) We think it will generate a lot of press and conversation. But the Opera needs your help. This Opera is far from the norm for Pensacola Opera. It will be controversial. There is some graphic language--although not gratuitous profanity. Some, perhaps many, of our patrons will stay home. It will be a financial risk for our company which is known for producing big city opera with small town charm. We have to raise $75,000 to help shield us from that risk, but our board of trustees believes this it is a proper and important role for the arts. The Pensacola Opera would welcome your support and ideas.

UWF Military and Veterans Resource Center to expand services in Northwest Florida The Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) of the University of West Florida is expanding its successful Mentoring and Counseling Program as part of ongoing efforts to provide more comprehensive services to military students and families in Northwest Florida. The expansion is made possible in part by additional funding from the Florida legislature, which provides ongoing support of the center and its mission. Now, says MVRC Director Marc Churchwell, the program will not only provide additional outreach to students using Veterans Affairs benefits, but also to veterans, dependents of veterans and active duty military who are no longer eligible. The Mentoring and Counsel-
ing Program currently serves an estimated population of 1,700 UWF students annually. In the three years since the program’s inception, approximately 210 students have received intervention support from MVRC services, resulting in successful persistence of academic progress–indicating the program is helping this special population stay in school. According to Churchwell, expanding the MVRC’s Mentoring and Counseling Program to include all military affiliated students will more than double the population to be served. Conservative estimates, he reports, indicate the total number to be approximately 3,400 – 28 percent of UWF’s total student population. This could
mean more than 200 students will graduate as a direct result of the program’s expansion. “Predicting jobs in the State of Florida at the current median salary for first-year UWF graduates with bachelor degrees of $31,684 per graduate would result in a return on investment of more than 6.6 million dollars in wage earnings for military-affiliated graduates,” Churchwell said. The program expansion will require increased staffing at the MVRC, creating four new jobs and providing permanent funding to support program manager Lori Milkeris, who recently became a licensed clinical social worker. UWF is one of the few universities in the country to have the benefit of a LCSW
within an on-campus veteran center dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. The center’s veteran-focused services are closely aligned with and highly supportive of the State of Florida’s initiative to become the most veteran friendly-state in the nation. The University of West Florida is located in the fifth largest active duty and veteran population by congressional district and the second largest retiree population by 3-digit zip code, Churchwell shared. The demand for services is apparent, and the MVRC is determined to meet the increasing needs of the military population. Additional funding from the legislature, as well as community partner-
ships, will allow Churchwell and his team to support active duty service members, veterans and their families in new ways. Recently, the UWF MVRC received a substantial donation from Gulf Power, allowing the center to provide emergency assistance funds, book scholarships and tuition scholarships for the summer semester. The MVRC also has partnered with the nonprofit organization Boots Up to provide counsel and assistance to veterans interested in pursuing academic goals using VA educational benefits, helping them transition from active duty military to civilian life. To learn more about the MVRC and its services, visit uwf.edu/ mvrc or call 850.474.2550.
National Flight Academy Receives Sponsorship from IT Gulf Coast Thanks to a generous donation, the National Flight Academy’s March and April STEM Saturdays programs—an introductory science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) program designed for children in kindergarten through 6th grade—will be sponsored. The National Flight Academy (NFA) received a $3,000 donation from IT Gulf Coast, the premiere professional association for the IT community in Northwest Florida. IT Gulf Coast is committed to creating educational and networking opportunities for the community in order to foster the growth of the technology industry and entrepreneurship in our area. “Today’s donation came from the net proceeds of our annual ITEN Wired Summit, so we thank the many supporters of that event for making this possible,” said Jim Rhodes, president of IT Gulf Coast. “IT Gulf Coast believes
that one of the best investments we can make is in our future workforce. STEM educational opportunities for our children are key to preparing them for tomorrow’s careers in technology.” The STEM Saturday program allows students to explore the principles of flight and aerodynamics through flying the T-6 Texan II in state-of-the-art simulators as well as constructing and testing paper airplanes and other STEM related themes. This opportunity provides hands-on experience with a focused curriculum that engages local students in STEM education tenets. Like the NFA’s other programs, STEM Saturdays are designed to address the serious concerns of declining science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills in our country. The Academy’s mission is to inspire students to pursue STEM academic and professional paths.

BUDGET OUTLINE SLASHES SCOTT PRIORITIES By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA House and Senate leaders agreed Friday to a budget outline that severely curtailed both of Gov. Rick Scott’s priorities for the coming year, slashing Scott’s tax cut plan and wiping out a businessincentives package. The deal on “allocations” --- legislative shorthand for how much money will be directed to each area of the budget --- clears the way for lawmakers to begin negotiations on the details of a spending plan for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Those discussions have to wrap up by March 8 for the Legislature to finish the annual session on time. The talks on allocations had largely centered on Scott’s call for a $1 billion tax-cut package and a “Florida Enterprise Fund” of $250 million in business incentives. The House had spread out $1 billion in tax cuts over a longer timeframe while zeroing out the incentive package. Senate leaders had countered with $250 million for the incentives and a potential $250 million in tax cuts. In the end, lawmakers agreed to $400 million in tax cuts in the current year and no money for the Florida Enterprise Fund. Scott’s office blasted lawmakers late Friday for the decision on the incentives package. “With the Legislature’s action today, there will no longer be incentive funding for major projects to come to Florida ... and we are beginning the process of notifying cities across the state that there would be no funding available to help
them recruit businesses if the Legislature does not take immediate action to reverse course,” Scott spokeswoman Jackie Schutz said. Zeroing out the Florida Enterprise Fund came as a surprise after the Senate’s initial willingness to go along with the full request. In a statement issued Friday night, even House Speaker Steve Crisafulli said the House had expected to compromise. “The Senate’s decision to meet the House on economic development funding was unexpected, but will undoubtedly be welcomed by the majority of members of the Legislature,” Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island, said. “While I firmly believe that all members of the Legislature want to see our economy grow and increase jobs in Florida, there is great bipartisan disagreement over whether our current economic incentives are the best way to achieve those goals.” Speaking to reporters Friday, Senate Appropriations Chairman Tom Lee, R-Brandon, said the decision was the product of the need to reach an agreement on the budget. “We’re working against a clock,” Lee said. “We’ve been up here a long time over the last 12 months, and the House and the Senate both have priorities. We have a timeframe we’re working within. We have a long-range financial outlook we’re trying to adhere to.” Sen. Jack Latvala, a Clearwater Republican who spearheaded the push for the governor’s incentives package,

433-1166, ext. 25 would not answer questions from reporters who ran into him at the Capitol. He walked away from the reporters and said he was looking for someone from his local newspaper. The tax-cut number also means that Scott will fall short of his promise during his 2014 re-election campaign to secure $1 billion in tax cuts over the first two years of his new term. Lawmakers agreed to cut $372.4 million in the current financial year, which ends June 30. Lawmakers pointed out that, after Scott proposed his spending and tax-cut plan, state economists slashed nearly $400 million from estimates of how much revenue the Legislature would have to work with. “The fact that we got as close as we did to his campaign promise, given the reality of the shortfall, is amazing, I think,” House Appropriations Chairman Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, said. Lee also underscored the changing estimates. “Those promises were made a long time ago,” Lee said. “The facts on the ground have changed. Leaders have to be willing to shift as the facts on the ground change.” The defeats for Scott raise the possibility that the governor, who has used his line-item veto pen to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in lawmakers’ projects in the past, could retaliate after the spending plan is approved. But Corcoran shrugged off the possibility. “He’s used the veto pen strongly in the past,” Corcoran said. “He could in all likelihood use it again.”

Family Features
oms pride themselves on serving their families wholesome, homemade meals. But here’s the reality: 60 percent of moms think that coming up with dinner ideas is more difficult than getting their children to go to bed on time. Moreover, 61 percent of moms frequently order takeout or go out to eat because they don’t have the ingredients on-hand to make dinner. It’s time for a new strategy. When it comes to mealtime, a well-stocked pantry can be the difference between culinary success and a dinner failure. With a pantry full of canned foods, a delicious and nutritious homemade meal is just minutes away. It’s no secret that canned foods are convenient, but did you know that cans are also one of the best ways to get food from the farm to your family’s table? Canned fruits and vegetables are picked and packed when they’re at their peak of ripeness and nutrition, sealing in their freshness and flavor. Just like home canning, the canning process locks in foods’ natural goodness so it’s at arm’s reach whenever you’re ready to get cooking. A pantry stocked with canned ingredients is also a source of recipe inspiration. Staples such as canned chicken, corn, green chilies, olives, beans and tomatoes atop lettuce combine to create a wholesome Chicken Burrito Salad the whole family will enjoy. And in less than 30 minutes, a box of fettuccine and a can of spinach transform into a hearty Pasta with Spinach Pesto.
