Meals on the Move W

hat’s every foodie’s favorite thing? Delicious and affordable meals that move on wheels. Since Jan. 7, when the City of Pensacola teamed up with Pensacola Cooks Kitchen to bring mobile food vendors to the City Hall parking lot, the back corner of the lot (at the intersection of Spring and Main streets) has become a gathering for eager food lovers and food trucks alike. This month, eight trucks will be featured at City Hall Wednesdays through Saturdays for breakfast and/or lunch: Beachy Barista, Busy Bee, Cajun Meat Train, DogOn-It, Jordan Valley, Old King Colbert, Pensacola Cooks Mobile Kitchen, and Warriors Wagon. To find out when your favorite food truck will be making rounds, keep up to date with the monthly food truck schedule at cityofpensacola.com By Dawn Gresko The Beachy Barista Need that morning caffeine fix? The Beachy Barista recognizes that need and knows just what you like. The beachinspired mobile coffee shop is offering all the best selections of a traditional coffee barre at prices that won’t break your wallet. The truck doesn’t just have a theme for its exterior: visit the truck often to see the servers dress in different themes each day. Choose to take your coffee hot or iced at 12-, 16- to 20 oz. Try a Beachy coffee black or with cream, or a blended Beachino— the choice is yours. For those who aren’t coffee lovers, don’t fret: Beachy Barista offers chilly fruit smoothies (four berry, strawberry and mango), as well as hot chocolate. Find out where Beachy Barista is heading to next by checking out their Facebook page, or calling 423-310-3093. Busy Bee Want all the tastes of Southern comfort food in one quick stop? Then there’s no better place to be than at the window of Busy Bee Al Fresco food truck. From stocking up on hearty sides like potato salad and baked beans to ordering your favorite BBQ meat, there’s plenty of reasons to make Busy Bee your next stop for lunch. Crowd favorites include Grandmother’s fried chicken, pork chops and fried fish, but you’re equally guaranteed to enjoy pulled pork sandwiches and homemade hamburgers with fries. Busy Bee is also known for its chicken wings, which come in orders of five or 10 pieces, and flavors include: battered, hot, mild, lemon pepper and barbeque. For the full menu visit Busy Bee Facebook page, or call 850-291-3486. Cajun Meat Train Climb aboard the Cajun Meat Train for your fill of Cajun cooking and BBQ staples. While the Train travels frequently through Gulf Breeze and Navarre, you might also spot the truck parked near events like the upcoming Grand Mardi Gras Parade in Downtown Pensacola. The truck also offers catering to local businesses, parties and other special events. The majority of meat marinades and sides are made from scratch, and the andouille sausage is housemade from the curing and stuffed to being slow smoked in pecan wood. That being said, traditional Cajun dishes and crowd pleasers include gumbo, boudin, shrimp etouffee, and signature New Orleans-inspired red beans and rice. Stay tuned to Cajun Meat Train’s Facebook page for the latest updates on menu and where the truck will be stationed next, or call 850-382-2626.

Dog-On-It Looking for one of the best hotdog joints in Pensacola? Dog-On-It has what you’re looking for and more. In addition to specializing in great tasting hotdogs, Dog-On-It offers Cuban sandwiches for lunch, as well as coffee and donuts for a quick breakfast guaranteed to hit the spot. Although you can usually find Dog-On-It surfing around the beach in Perdido Key, the truck has been making waves at City Hall. Bring yourself, a group and/or the kids next time you’re craving a juicy frank. Want to know more about the menu at Dog-On-It? Call them at 850-607-0770, or email your questions to dogonithotdogs@ yahoo.com. Jordan Valley The Jordan Valley food truck may be small but it offers all the big flavors of the Mediterranean. Three years ago, Tommy Ghboun decided it was time to get the word out about Jordan Valley’s Downtown restaurant and decided to try something new by starting a food truck. Gyros and grape leaves are popular orders, and most of the special spices and meats come from the nearby cities of Jacksonville and Atlanta. In addition to its days at City Hall, you can find the truck at events, such as Movies at the Maritime and Gallery Nights in Downtown Pensacola. If you like what you taste, don’t forget Jordan Valley provides catering services for any private events from weddings to graduation parties. For more on what Jordan Valley offers, call 850450-1761.

grilling meat on a wood for charcoal fire. In addition to frequenting the local Hurlburt and Eglin bases, the truck will be making itself at home in the City Hall parking lot this month For that reason, popular dishes on the menu include hamburgers with candied jalapenos, as well as shrimp and sausage tacos.

News From The Bar Association

The Summation Weekly

Florida Bar Opposes Term limits for the judiciary The Florida Bar’s Board of Governors unanimously approved the recommendation of its Legislation Committee to adopt an official legislative position opposing judicial term limits at all levels of Florida’s state court system during its meeting of Dec. 4, 2015. Joint resolutions have been introduced in the Florida House and Senate to send a constitutional amendment to voters setting term limits for Supreme Court justices and district courts of appeal judges. The Young Lawyers Division and the Business Law, Appellate Practice, and Trial Lawyer sections of The Florida Bar have taken steps to oppose the term limits. With the Board of Governors’ action, these sections and all others can now advocate the Bar’s position.

WSRE Public Square Speakers Series Presents

James McLurkin

James McLurkin, a leader in the field of robotics, will speak at 7 pm on Thursday, Feb. 25 in the WSRE Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio as part of the PBS station’s Public Square Speakers Series. As a child, McLurkin was constantly building with LEGO bricks, cardboard boxes or any other materials he could find. He continues this tradition in his work today. Using nature as a model, his core research is developing distributed algorithms for multirobot systems: the software for large swarms of autonomous robots. SwarmBots were originally created during his five-year post as lead research scientist at iRobot, one of the world’s leading robotics companies. Inspired by the behavior of ants and bees, SwarmBots perform individual tasks that collectively contribute to the goals of a group. In his upcoming presentation, “Dances with Robots: The Story of One Engineer, 112 Little Robots, and the Toys, Insects, and Star Wars Movies that Made it all Possible,” McLurkin will take the audience from a lighthearted look at society’s views on robots to philosophical questions about the nature of intelligence that poses problems for the creation of artificially intelligent devices. His talk will address the need for swarms of robots and the technology required to produce their group behaviors using live robot

demonstrations and video clips to punctuate his message. Since 1995, McLurkin has lectured extensively at companies and universities such as the Smithsonian Museum, Harvard University, Infosys, IBM and Honda. He is dedicated to illustrating the fun and excitement in science and engineering and teaches classes to students of all ages, from elementary school to graduate school.

Swarmbot exploded diagram In 2003, McLurkin received the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize, which is awarded to burgeoning MIT student inventors. Also in 2003, he was recognized by Time Magazine as one of five leading robotics engineers in their “Rise of the Machines” feature and by Black Enterprise magazine as a “Best and Brightest Under 40.” In 2002, he was featured in the Lemelson Center’s nationwide interactive traveling exhibit, Invention at Play, which began

at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. In the wake of these honors, he was featured in a 2005 NOVA Science NOW feature on PBS. Today, he is an assistant professor at Rice University in the Department of Computer Science. He holds an S.B. in electrical engineering with a minor in mechanical engineering from MIT, an M.S. in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, and an S.M. and Ph.D. in computer science from MIT. The Public Square Speakers Series is an educational outreach program of WSRE, PBS for the Gulf Coast. Admission is free. Reservations are encouraged and can be made online at wsre.org/ speakers.

Pensacola Attorneys Receive High Honors Four Pensacola attorneys from the same law firm have been selected to the 2015 Super Lawyers list for the state of Florida. Donovan Whibbs, Scott Stone, Ryan Barnett and Richard Turner of Whibbs Stone Barnett law firm, were each recognized by Super Lawyers Magazine, which is published in all 50 states and in England and distributed to attorneys. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. Super Lawyers, a Thomas Reuters business, is a rating service from more than 70 practice areas of outstanding

lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition, meet ethical standards, and have demonstrated professional achievement in their field. The annual selections are made using a patented multiphased process that includes a statewide survey of lawyers, an independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area. “This is a great validation of the efforts we put into offering high-quality services and establishing a true connection with our clients and businesses in the region,” said managing partner Scott Stone. The final published list represents no more than 5 percent

of the lawyers in each state. The Super Lawyers lists are published nationwide in Super Lawyers Magazines and in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers across the country. Super Lawyers Magazines also feature editorial profiles of attorneys who embody excellence in the practice of law. This selection continues a recent string of recognition. In 2015, attorneys Donovan Whibbs and Scott Stone were also named as Legal Elite members for Florida, a peer recognition program honoring Florida’s top attorneys.

It matters so much!” Blood donations are urgently needed now and throughout the winter to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients in need.

NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA HAS: FIVE QUESTIONS FOR CISSY PROCTOR By Jim Turner The News Service of Florida Theresa “Cissy” Proctor was promoted by Gov. Rick Scott in December to lead the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, replacing one of the governor’s biggest cheerleaders, Jesse Panuccio. Proctor’s predecessor as executive director was in the hot seat with some lawmakers about the handling of economic incentives and a website for people applying for unemployment benefits. A product of the Maclay School in Tallahassee, Proctor received her bachelor’s degree in international affairs at Florida State University and later earned a law degree from the university. She joined the Department of Economic Opportunity in 2013 after a decade as an attorney and government consultant with the law firm of Bryant Miller Olive in Tallahassee. With the state agency, Proctor served as deputy legislative affairs director and director of the Division of Strategic Business Development before becoming chief of staff in January 2015. The News Service of Florida has five questions for Cissy Proctor: Q: Your predecessor had a somewhat-rocky relationship with members of the Florida Senate. What steps or approaches are you taking to restore relations while being part of Scott’s effort to secure $250 million in businessrecruitment incentive money for Enterprise Florida? PROCTOR: I have been at the agency for over three years now and was able to, during that time, establish and create great relationships across the

state, not only with House and Senate members, but also with other state agencies, with our public-private partners, as well as organizations like the Ports Council and the Florida Chamber and our universities. So looking at the relationships I’ve been able to create over the last three years, we have great relationships there. And moving forward, since I was appointed, I have been reaching out to members of the House and Senate. During the holiday, I was able to talk to them a lot on the phone right after my appointment. And now that they’re here in session, I’ve had an opportunity to meet with a lot of them and had really positive meetings with both sides of the Legislature, House and Senate.” (Do you think everything is going well for the incentives?) Yes, I’m very positive. This morning (Friday) the governor and the Enterprise Florida Board talked a lot about the $250 million Enterprise Fund. And we at the agency are very supportive of the ask, because it’s the right thing for Florida. It’s the right thing to make sure that we have a program that is well-funded so we can be at the table for competitive projects that are not only competitive across the country, but across the globe.” Q: You’ve taken over an agency that has not gotten positive press for the implementation of Connect, the state’s $63 million unemployment-system website. Your predecessor would deem the media image of the website as unfair. What has it taken and what must still be done to get the system running complaint-free from most users and lawmakers?

PROCTOR: The RA (Reemployment Assistance) program is running well. Right now we are focused on making sure that the individuals across the state who are eligible for reemployment assistance are able to get the benefits that they should receive. We pay thousands of claims every week. And we’re really focused on not only making sure that we meet state and federal requirements, but that we beat them, so we can make payments timely, for instance. We are also focused on keeping the trust fund healthy and keeping criminals out of the system. We’re seeing an incredible amount of identitytheft crime coming into the system, and we are focused, through our anti-fraud measures, to keep those criminals out and to keep the trust fund healthy, to make sure the money is there for those that are eligible for the benefits. Also, it keeps taxes low for businesses across the state that pay the money that goes into the trust fund.” Q: You’re a Tallahassee kid. What kind of insight does growing up amid the seat of Florida’s government give you in running a state agency? PROCTOR: Like you said, I grew up here, went to school here. Graduated from FSU for my undergrad as well as my law school degree. And the law school is definitely in the shadow of the Capitol, which is very cool, because during law school we got great opportunities to do things, because the Supreme Court is here and go to the Capitol and see how a bill becomes a law. How it really becomes a law rather than just reading about it. And I’ve been involved in not only (my) personal life, but my professional life in service organizations throughout

LAWMAKERS LOOK TO CURB UNEMPLOYMENT FRAUD By Margie Menzel The News Service of Florida A House panel on Monday unanimously approved a measure aimed at cracking down on unemployment fraud based on identity theft — a practice lawmakers say is spiraling out of control. In fact, House Economic Development & Tourism Chairman Frank Artiles said he’d been the victim of such a crime himself. “I actually had my ID stolen, and we had unemployment benefits that were sent to the state (to establish a claim) under my name,” the Miami Republican said. “This is rampant throughout the nation, as well as in the state of Florida.” Artiles’ subcommittee approved the measure (HB 1017), filed by Rep. Mike La Rosa, R-St. Cloud, who said it would save millions of dollars for Florida taxpayers. “Over the years, (the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity) has begun receiving reports that criminals were turning to unemployment insurance --- in our state called reemployment assistance --- as a new front for identity theft-based fraud,” La Rosa told the panel. The bill says “identity theft is especially problematic in this state, which the Federal Trade Commission reports has the highest per capita rate of identity theft in the nation.” A special unit within the Department of Economic Opportunity has detected and prevented more than 146,000 fraudulent claims totaling $603 million since its inception in 2014, according to the agency. Department Executive Director Cissy Proctor said the attempted fraud is a threat to people who need unemployment benefits — and to those who pay for them. “We’re seeing an incredible amount of identity-theft crime coming into the system, and we are focused, through our anti-fraud measures, to keep those criminals out and to keep the trust fund healthy, to make

sure the money is there for those that are eligible for the benefits,” she told The News Service of Florida on Friday. “Also, it keeps (unemployment) taxes low for businesses across the state that pay the money that goes into the trust fund.” La Rosa’s bill takes several steps to beef up enforcement and penalties for cybercrimes centered on public-benefits fraud. It would give the Department of Economic Opportunity access to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ database of driver’s licenses — including photos and signatures — to validate claims for reemployment assistance. It would increase penalties for people who fraudulently apply for unemployment benefits. The penalties would go from one year to five years for a first offense and would be 10 years for a second offense and a lifetime ban for a third offense. Also, the bill would amend the definition of “racketeering activity” to include unemployment-benefits fraud under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt (RICO) Organization Act. Monday was the first time the departmentbacked bill has been heard in committee. La Rosa removed parts of the bill that sought to allow the department to hire sworn law-enforcement officers and recover overpayments by garnishing wages. “The department will continue to seek criminal investigators in its budget and will continue to build cases statewide with local law enforcement,” La Rosa said. Rep. Clay Ingram, R-Pensacola, thanked La Rosa for the changes, saying he’d had concerns about “sworn law enforcement officers working for a department where that had never been done before.” A Senate version of the bill (SB 1216), filed by Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland, has been sent to four committees.

the city as well as other organizations. Very involved in the business community, the chamber, the economicdevelopment organizations here. So I’m passionate about not only Florida but the city and how we can move forward to make sure we have great economic development. I think just being involved at a personal level throughout my life — my mother owned a small business here in Tallahassee, my father was a doctor here in Tallahassee ­ so there’s a lot of connections as well, not only with my family, but my husband’s family. So I think that has bolstered me and helped me to have some great insight to what private businesses are thinking about. What their focuses (are) every day. And what hurdles they run into. And why it’s really important that we keep taxes low and keep regulations sensible and a lot of other things that make our environment here in Tallahassee business-friendly, as well as across the state.” Q: You are still moving into your office. What’s your approach or what changes do you intend to bring at the agency? PROCTOR: Our mission is very clear, and it has been for years. We are looking to make Florida the best place to live, work, play and do business. And to do that, we run and we’re entrusted with running programs related to economic development, community development and workforce development. And so our mission hasn’t changed. We just are continuing to work on all of those programs, continuing to push for good policies in all of those areas. We’re continuing to reach out to communities to make sure that we’re working at every level of all of those areas to make sure communities have

the technical assistance that they need: if there’s infrastructure needed that we can help them; if there’s grants available with that, economic development, not only with the incentive dollars, but there’s also other tax incentives that are available for businesses across the state. We have a strategic plan that’s come out of the state, that’s out of the agency that works toward bringing all of the agencies together. And how we can make Florida a better place to live, play, work and do business. And then, as far as the workforce, it’s important to train our workforce of today and tomorrow. So we are continuing to push and support good policies in that area.” Q: Do you see it as continuing policies rather than having to make changes? PROCTOR: Absolutely. At this point, our mission — like I said — hasn’t changed. We are, obviously in the middle of legislative session right now, and so that is a big part of our focus, to make sure that we not only are supporting as well as we can the governor’s priorities, but as well as other priorities that we have for our agency, including the fraud package that Sen. (Kelli) Stargel (R-Lakeland) and Rep. (Mike) La Rosa (R-St. Cloud) are running for us. It’s actually getting its first hearing in the House on Monday. So we’re looking forward to that. As well as, when I mentioned community development, we have an ask to fund a program called Competitive Florida that is targeted technical assistance that focuses on rural areas across the state and provides them the help that they need to make sure they have the strategic planning in place to move their communities forward.”

STATE BRINGS ON NEW PRISON HEALTH PROVIDER By Dara Kam The News Service of Florida State corrections officials have hired Centurion of Florida LLC to take over prison health services for more than three-fourths of Florida’s 100,000 inmates after Corizon Health walked away from a fiveyear, $1.2 billion contract three years early. Centurion, a joint venture between Centene Corp. and MHM Services, will be paid a maximum of nearly $268 million to fill in for Corizon, which exercised a 180-day cancellation provision in its contract with the state. In December, Corizon told Department of Corrections Secretary Julie Jones that it intended to pull out of the state by the end of May, two years after the start of the country’s largest prison health-care contract. At the time, Jones said Corizon executives told her they were losing money — up to $1 million a month — on the deal. Jones also said Corizon executives blamed the company’s exit on whether its payments should be adjusted annually according to changes in the Consumer Price Index. While its contract made allowances for such hikes, any increases would have to be approved by the Legislature, which has been inconsistent in authorizing partial increases for Corizon and never approved a full Consumer Price Index hike — as much as 4 percent — since the contract went into effect. On Dec. 18, Jones used a type of procurement process called an “invitation to negotiate” to seek vendors to provide mental health services, dental care and health care for the state’s inmates. The new contracts are expected to start in 2018. Centurion, which provides health

care for prisoners in five other states, will start operations in Florida this spring, in a contract that lasts until January 2018, when the new vendors are expected to take over, according to a press release issued by Centene. Centurion is “pleased to be able to work with the department to improve the quality of services and care levels provided to this population,” Centurion CEO Steven Wheeler said in the release. “We also recognize the importance of maintaining sound financial discipline on behalf of the state and its residents.” Corrections officials look forward to working with Corizon and Centurion to “ensure a seamless transition of health care services,” Jones said in a statement Monday. “We continue in our commitment to (providing) quality health care to those in our custody and improving health outcomes for Florida’s inmates.” Tennessee-based Corizon had been under fire from lawmakers and attorneys representing inmates who accused the company of routinely providing inadequate care since taking over services in most of the prisons in the central and northern portions of the state. Lawyers for Florida inmates in September filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Corrections and Corizon, alleging that the state agency and the company were denying hernia operations to save money. A month after taking over the helm of the Department of Corrections in January 2014, Jones put the health care contractors on notice that she intended to rebid health care contracts with Corizon and Wexford Health Sources, which has a $267 million contract to handle inmates in the southern portion of the state.

It’s Thursday afternoon and the kids are asking, “What’s for dinner?” Searching for inspiration, you head to the refrigerator, only to realize that the groceries you bought on Sunday have run out or spoiled. But before the panic sets in and you reach for the takeout menus, remember that the solution for a wholesome, homemade meal is right in your pantry — or “Cantry.” “With a well-stocked pantry full of canned ingredients, I know I always have the makings of a nutritious and flavorful meal,” said Kelsey Nixon, host of “Kelsey’s Essentials” on Cooking Channel and Food Network. “Fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and canned in just hours, making the can one of the best ways to get food from its source to my family’s table. I just open up a can, unlock that flavor and goodness and make it a ‘Cantry’ Thursday night!” With canned food staples like canned beans, chicken, green beans and broth on hand, you’ll be well on your way to savory meals like Quinoa Chicken Vegetable Salad and Nixon’s Pasta e Fagioli Soup.
