Q & A with Caroline Johnson: JET GIRL
Caroline Johnson's book, Jet Girl, Available now
by Gina Castro
W
e had the honor of speaking with an F/A-18 Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) in the United States Navy on Veterans Day. Caroline Johnson made a stop at the Bodacious Bookstore and Cafe to promote her book Jet Girl. As one of the few women to fly an F/A-18 and one of the first women to neutralize ISIS, Johnson had to overcome many challenges on behalf of her gender, which she confronts in her novel coauthored by Hoff Williams. You can purchase a copy of Jet Girl on Amazon and in the Bodacious Bookstore. You’ve had an adventurous life and career. What made you decide to sit down and write a book? We were just talking about this with my co-author Hoff at one of the launch parties. I was really fortunate to have other people believe in me more than I believe in myself, so my co-author Hoff actually said to me “You know, you have an amazing story. I didn’t even realize women flew fighter jets. You’ve got to share your story with the world.” I said, “Thanks so much, Hoff, but I don’t think I’m that special.” So, it actually wasn’t my idea. But what really made me come around to the idea was understanding that there are young boys and girls out there that are not well educated, unless they come from a military family or know someone who served, about the military. So, they don’t really know that this path exists. So sharing this story and engaging and inspiring the next generation is what got me on board. In the research I have done about your book, it seems that your book is focuses on the difficulty of being a woman in a male dominated field. What are you hoping discussing this issue will accomplish? What I really hope it does for the next generation is act as a road map for them to say “Hey, she encountered those challenges. I’m going to come up on my own challenges, and they are going to be
unique to myself, but I can persevere and harness my grit and overcome those challenges.” Number two, I think for leaders, just educating them that sometimes behind the scenes, people do face bullying and challenges, and the more you can be aware of it and really advocate for those people, the stronger team you are going to have and the happier and more satisfied they are going to be and the more they feel a part of the team. How do you think we can get the military to where it is more equal across the board, and do you think that is even possible? Definitely. I think there is still a way to come. I think number one the military is working on getting more numbers of women and men and different races so that it is more representative of the nation. Will we ever get to 50 percent? I don’t think so. It’s just not a traditional role for women and not as many women are inherently attracted to it as a career path, as men are. So, number one, I think numbers. Number two, having these conversations and being more open minded because what’s so cool about the next generation is that they are being raised with such open minded people, and they value that in choosing their career path. When the military is openly more supportive of different races, religions and genders, then people will be more willing to join the ranks. They will say “Hey,
“I think for leaders, just I can see myself being successful here. I see other people who look like me and sound like me being successful. I want to do this too.” I think just being aware of the unconscious biases that we have and actively working to challenge them on a daily basis makes us much stronger. If we come around and start to support one another better, I think we’ll have better odds in not only recruiting but receiving people who are minorities within the military structure. You graduated with honors from the University of Oklahoma with a Master of Arts in Administrative Leadership and you’re continuing your service with the Navy as an advisor. What led you to pursue this path? I currently am in the Naval reserve. I just transitioned into a new unit. I love the Navy, so I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. To still be able to serve and stay connected even in a part-time capacity was a big desire of mine. I didn’t want to fully let the Navy go. I care about the organization. I care about its success, so I still want to be a part of that. Getting the masters degree in leadership from the academy was always the dream. It was the most rewarding job in my entire career being able to work with the upcoming generation and exciting to see what they are up to and help mold them into good women and men who are fighting the fight. What’s the next step for you? Right now, I’m speaking professionally around the country and sharing not only my story, but this amazing story of people in the aircraft carrier and the team it takes to put weapons on target, on time and on range in the enemy territory. It takes a team and a family to be able to support these military members

and help them succeed. So, I’m speaking about that and about leadership. I plan to do that for a little longer and hopefully get involved in consulting executives and helping them build stronger teams by using some of the things that I’ve learned not only in my masters but through experience. The coolest part of speaking is you get to go in these companies and get a behind the scenes look at these forward-thinking leaders who are really trying to solve these problems in the private sector, which actually relate to many of the things we do in the military, and seeing those best practices and learning what makes people great at what they do. I want to collect these pieces to help a broader group of people. That’s the ultimate dream.

“Keep the Wreath Green” Fire Safety Campaign Kicks off Dec. 1
Escambia County Fire Rescue, in collaboration with the Pensacola Fire Department, will launch its annual “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign Sunday, Dec. 1. While a joyous time of year, cold weather, holiday decorations and festivities can create serious fire dangers. Firefighters hope to reduce the number of fires by promoting simple, life-saving holiday safety tips each day in December. During the month-long campaign, five-foot wreaths will also be on display at 18 county fire stations and five city fire stations, with wreaths also be placed outside Escambia County’s Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building downtown, the Escambia County Public Safety Building, Pensacola City Hall and Cordova Mall near the food court entrance. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential home. In 2018, seven bulbs were changed to red on county wreaths, and the city had two red bulbs. According to the National Fire Protection Association, electrical distribution or lighting equipment was involved in 43% of home Christmas tree fires. Two of every five (40%) home Christmas tree fires started in the living room, family room or den. All of the fatalities and roughly three quarters (72%) of the injuries resulted from fires started in this area. The top three days for home candle fires are Christmas, New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve. According to the United States Fire Administration, fires occurring during the winter claim the lives of over 900 people and cause over $2.1 billion in damage. Nationally, cooking is the leading cause of home winter fires, with 5 to 8 p.m. being the most common time for a fire to occur. A working smoke detector cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. For information about obtaining a home smoke detector, call Escambia County Fire Rescue at 850-595HERO (4376) or 850-436-5200 for city of Pensacola residents. Escambia County Fire Rescue and the Pensacola Fire Department offer the following holiday safety tips, one for each day of the month: Dec. 1 - Prior to buying a live tree, test its freshness by pulling along a small branch. If the needles fall away in your hand, the tree is already too dry. Dec. 2 - Prior to buying an artificial tree, make sure the tree bears a UL label of approval, and be certain the tree is made of fire retardant materials. Dec. 3 - To keep a live tree fresh, cut 1-2 inches from the bottom to expose fresh wood and place it in water. Make sure your tree stand can hold water. Check the water level every day, and add water as needed. Do not
place trees near sources of heat like radiators, space heaters or heating ducts. Dec. 4 - Use candles with care. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Burn candles inside a 1-foot circle of safety, free of anything that can ignite. Use sturdy candle holders that will not tip over. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Dec. 5 - Make sure all holiday lights are UL labeled and inspect them prior to use. If possible, use LED lights since they burn cooler. Check each set of lights for broken or crushed sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections. Discard all damaged lights. Dec. 6 - When hanging holiday lights either on your tree or outside, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines on how many strands can be connected together. Usually it is not more than three. Make sure you do not overload electrical outlets or circuits. Do not run power cords underneath rugs or carpets. Dec. 7 - When decorating, remember not to block stairways, doors or windows. Remember to always unplug lights and extinguish candles before leaving the house or going to bed. Dec. 8 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step one – Design an emergency plan for your home and your family. Make sure everyone understands exactly what to do and where to go in an emergency. Also, make sure you have enough smoke alarms. Dec. 9 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step two – Know two ways out of every room and practice them to make sure you can do it. Dec. 10 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step three – Make sure you crawl low under smoke and feel closed doors for heat. If you come to a door that is warm, find another way out. Dec. 11 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step four – If you become trapped, close doors and stuff the door cracks to keep smoke out. Try to call 911 and let them know exactly where you are, and signal for help from a window. Dec. 12 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step five – Pay special attention to young children, elderly people and the disabled. Be sure to include them in your plan. Dec. 13 - Have a plan in case you have a fire: Step six – Get out as fast as you can and stay out. Never go back inside. Once you’re safely outside, have someone go to a neighbor’s house and call 911. Dec. 14 - Remember, matches and lighters are tools for adults. Store them in a safe place out of reach of children. Also, teach youngsters to never touch matches or lighters and instead tell a grownup if they find them. Dec. 15 - Have a fire extinguisher readily available in your home, and make sure it is fully charged. Know how to use your fire extinguisher. Remember the PASS system: Pull the pin. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
Squeeze the trigger lever. Sweep the stream side-to-side at the base of the fire. Dec. 16 - Have your chimney and fireplace inspected by a professional to make sure they are clean and free of obstructions. Never burn paper or trash in the fireplace. Dec. 17 - Be sure your fireplace is covered with a metal screen or glass doors to prevent the spread of sparks and fire. Dec. 18 - Make sure to have a working smoke alarm outside of every bedroom and on every level of your house. Make sure to test them monthly and change batteries every time you change your clocks. Dec. 19 - With children out of school, people doing yard work, dry vegetation, high winds and low humidity, remember that wildfires can happen quickly. Dec. 20 - If you are enjoying the great outdoors during the holidays, don’t leave campfires or warming fires unattended – make sure they are completely out! Dec. 21 - Never leave cooking food unattended. Handles on stovetop pots should be turned away from the front, so they won’t be accidentally tipped or knocked over. Dec. 22 - Before you cook that holiday dinner, be sure that the oven and stovetop are clean, free of grease and are in good working order. Dec. 23 - Keep cooking areas clean and free of grease and other combustibles (e.g. potholders, towels, rags, drapes and food packaging), which can catch fire easily. Dec. 24 - Do not burn wrapping paper in the fireplace because of the high flammability, dangerous sparks and possibility of flash fires. Dec. 25 - Remember to be safety conscious and have a happy holiday. Dec. 26 - When purchasing a space heater, look for heaters that have safety features such as cutoff switches that turn the heater off if it accidentally tips over or overheats. Dec. 27 - Space heaters need space. Make sure they are at least 3 feet away from combustible materials such as draperies, furniture, bedding, clothing and decorations. Also teach youngsters to keep away from them. Dec. 28 - Use only UL labeled space heaters and follow the manufactured instructions. Never use stoves, ovens or other cooking appliances to warm your home. Dec. 29 - Turn space heaters off when you leave the room. Also, remember to constantly supervise children and pets when space heaters are in use. Dec. 30 - Don’t cut up and burn your tree in the fireplace. Burning evergreens give off tar and creosol, which can ignite and cause a chimney fire. Dispose of your tree by following the instructions of your local trash disposal service. Dec. 31 - Don’t drink and drive. Have a designated driver or call a friend.

LAWMAKERS BOOST POST-MICHAEL FUNDING REQUESTS
News Service of Florida Staff Rep. Brad Drake, chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee, is the latest Panhandle lawmaker to seek a second round of state funding to aid areas still struggling from Hurricane Michael. In a series of bills filed for the 2020 legislative session that begins Jan. 14, Drake, R-Eucheeanna, is requesting more than $65 million for storm-battered communities in his Northwest Florida district. Drake’s largest request is $60 million for a 200,000-square-foot commerce center in Washington County (HB 4685). According to the proposal, the center would also serve as a regional hurricane evacuation center and hurricane staging area, providing for the “general population, special needs, and be pet-friendly.” Michael bulldozed across 10 Panhandle counties after making landfall at Mexico Beach on Oct. 10, 2018. Earlier
this year, lawmakers approved $220.9 million for post-storm efforts. Drake’s proposals are among more than 1,300 measures filed by lawmakers seeking support for projects and groups in their home districts, which collectively would require more than $1.83 billion to fully fund. Most will not make it into the budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Drake is also proposing $250,000 for a “consolidatd government complex design” (HB 4675) to centralize Jackson County employees, who are now in multiple locations that are “aging,” in disrepair and damaged by the storm, according to the budget request. Drake is also seeking nearly $1 million for emergency generators at Jackson Hospital’s medical and clinic buildings (HB 4681). And Drake has requested $2.05 million to help Washington County upgrade its communication system, including the erection of three communication towers
(HB 4671). Drake’s proposal notes that “emergency communications ceased to exist” in Washington County after Michael. “The goal of this project is to never be in that position again for the sake of county residents and evacuees,” the proposal states. The sparsely populated Jacob City in Jackson County is up for two proposals: $600,000 for a new community center (HB 4699), and $550,000 for an updated city hall (HB 4693). According to Drake’s paperwork, the community center could serve as a “refuge before and after a storm.” The current city hall suffered damages in Michael that “are not superficial,” his proposal asserts. Chipola College in Marianna is seeking $350,000 to make up for lost tuition and fees after the storm (HB 4683). Another $2 million would go towards repairs and improvements still needed across the college campus, including the conversion of
“flat” to “pitched” roofs on as many as five buildings. Rep. Jason Shoaf, a Port St. Joe Republican whose district sustained major damage from Michael, has proposed up to $50 million in measures related to post-storm efforts, including $24.2 million to build classrooms and other school facilities in Calhoun County (HB 2987) and $1.5 million for an emergency operations center in Franklin County (HB 2977). On Tuesday, Panama City Republican Rep. Jay Trumbull filed a bill seeking $1.29 million to help Gulf Coast State College make up lost tuition- and fee- revenue caused by Michael (HB 4715). In the Senate, Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, has proposed a measure (SB 722) to allocate $50 million each year, through 2027, to the hurricane impacted counties. The money would come from a trust fund approved by voters in 2014.
BEAR MANAGEMENT OPTIONS INCLUDE HUNTING News Service of Florida Staff Techniques to manage Florida’s black bear population over the next decade, including the possibility of regulated hunting, will be among the items the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission considers during a meeting next month. The updated bear-management plan is slated for discussion the morning of Dec. 11, with public comments limited to “no more than 3 hours,” according to an agenda posted on the commission’s website. The commission’s staff is not making any direct recommendation about controversial bear hunts, or any other bear management options, according to the agenda for the next month’s meeting at the Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City. A 209-page draft report summarizes several population-management
techniques that could be expanded or used, including contracted shooting and trapping; fertility control; manipulating habitats by reducing vegetation near suburban and urban areas; regulated hunts; and relocating adult female bears and their 3- to 4-month-old cubs. “While the plan does not recommend any particular population management option, it does indicate that current human and bear population growth rates in Florida will require the FWC to manage the bear population at some point,” Kipp Frohlich, FWC director of Habitat and Species Conservation, wrote in a summary of the proposal posted on the website. Most of the feedback on the plan has been supportive, Frohlich wrote in the summary. “However, stakeholders and members of the public have strong feelings for and against the
use of regulated hunting to manage the bear population,” he added. Since 2006, Florida has had 13 incidents of people requiring medical treatment because of encounters with bears, including eight since 2012. “If the management practices outlined in this plan are not implemented, there is a high likelihood of increasing negative interactions between bears and people,” Frolich noted in the summary. The goal of the management plan is to keep the state’s bear population of about 4,000 above the 3,000 mark. Management options also include continuing use of the BearWise program, which started in 2016 and has used proceeds from sales of Conserve Wildlife license plates and legislative funding to assist local governments in providing residents and businesses with bear-resistant trash containers. Another
suggested technique involves working with the Florida Department of Transportation to reduce collisions between vehicles and bears. In 2018, the commission requested the transportation agency modify 20 bridges with fencing to guide wildlife, including bears, under roadways. The plan is to replace a statewide bear-management framework created in 2012. The state’s bear population has grown from 300 to 500 in the late 1970s to more than 4,000 following a controversial 2015 hunt that remains the only time hunting black bears has been permitted in Florida in more than two decades. The October 2015 hunt resulted in 304 bears being killed in two days.
AUDIT: STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT TEXT MESSAGES LACKED OVERSIGHT Ana Ceballos News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE --- Florida’s top law enforcement agency did not have safeguards in place to ensure text messages sent and received by its employees were retained as required by state law, according to an audit released last week. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also did not ban department employees from using personal devices to text about official state business, the report by the Florida Auditor General found. “The department should enhance policies and procedures to either prohibit department employees from using their personal devices to send or receive text messages pertaining to official state business or provide for the retention of such messages,” auditors wrote. The agency acknowledged the findings and agreed to follow auditors’ recommendations to enhance public record policies. Florida’s broad open records laws require state agencies to retain electronic communications for a certain period of time. “Transitory messages,” such as
text messages, “are to be maintained until obsolete, superseded, or administrative value is lost,” the report noted. “A change in policy has been proposed to address the issue of personal cellular phone usage,” FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen wrote in a Nov. 18 response to auditors’ findings. A copy of the proposed policy change was not made immediately available following a request by The News Service of Florida. Another issue flagged by auditors concerned a “service organization” the state agency relies upon to retain text messages “in accordance with state law,” according to the report. Auditors noted the department failed to monitor the service organization’s safeguards, and that agency officials did not require the service organization to report to the agency on its “effectiveness” preserving text messages. “It is incumbent upon the Department to take steps to reasonably ensure that the service organization controls relevant to text message retention are suitably designed and operating effec-
tively,” the auditors recommended. Auditors added FDLE personnel involved in procuring and overseeing text message retention services “were not aware of the need for service auditor reports.” “To ensure that text messages are retained in accordance with state law, we recommend the department management make or obtain independent and periodic assessments of the service organization’s relevant internal controls,” the report states. In a response to the audit, Swearingen said his agency will start conducting periodic checks on the service organization. And he agreed to require the service organization to provide the reports for the agency to review in the future. Problems with text message retention were among a number of issues highlighted by auditors. The report also found FDLE failed to report the names of passengers flying on state-operated aircrafts and the purposes of their travels. People who are not traveling on state business are allowed to fly on
state-operated aircraft under certain circumstances. They may accompany the governor, the lieutenant governor, a member of the Florida Cabinet, the Senate president, the House Speaker or the Florida Supreme Court chief justice when those officials are on state business and seats are available, according to state law. However, the people not traveling on state business have to pay a portion of the transportation costs. Auditors examined flight records from January 2019 to June 2019 and found 1,311 passengers flew on 310 state-operated flights, and none of them were subject to travel charges. During the six-month time period, Gov. Ron DeSantis --- who took office in January --- has regularly flown on state-operated planes. But auditors noted the lack of flight records made it difficult to assess who flew with him or to assert that “all transportation on department aircraft (was) for official state business.”

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION REJECTED IN MENINGITIS CASES
Jim Saunders News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE --- Pointing to tough legal standards approved by the Legislature, an appeals court Wednesday rejected workers’ compensation insurance claims involving allegations that two men developed meningitis after inhaling types of fungus while on the job. In one of the cases, Indian River County school district groundskeeper Edward Cruce died of cryptococcal meningitis in January 2015. The case centered on allegations that he had been exposed to cryptococcus fungus in pigeon feces while cleaning out a storage area months before his death. The other case was filed by Robert Taylor, a city of Titusville heavy-equipment operator who contended he was exposed to another type of fungus while working on a land-clearing project in a wooded area. He was diagnosed with fungal meningitis in August 2015. Judge of Compensation Claims Robert Dietz backed workers’ compensation benefits for Cruce’s survivors and for Taylor in the separate cases. But in two opinions issued Wednesday, a panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal reversed Dietz’s decisions. The rulings cited a “heightened standard of proof” that the Legislature put in state law for dealing with workers’ compensation claims about exposure to toxic substances. The appeals court said both cases did not meet that standard of proof.
For example, in the Cruce case, it said cryptococcus fungus is found in many places. The court said “competent substantial evidence does not support the JCC’s determination that claimants (Cruce’s survivors) satisfied, by clear and convincing evidence, their burden of proving occupational causation.” But in the Taylor case, judges also appeared to acknowledge that the standard of proof could be hard to meet in such cases. “This court has and continues to recognize that workers’ compensation is a statutory matter and the Legislature has broad discretion in crafting the parameters of benefits due,” Judge M. Kemmerly Thomas wrote in the Taylor case. “In reaching this decision, we readily acknowledge the Herculean task created by the heightened burden of proof for toxic exposure claims. However, in deference to the Legislature we will not craft, in derogation of the plain text of sections (of state law), a lesser burden of proof.” In a concurring opinion, Judge James Wolf wrote that the Taylor case and a 2011 decision by the same appeals court “reject the use of overwhelming circumstantial evidence to prove the statutory requirements of clear and convincing evidence in toxic exposure cases. Direct proof of the level of exposure to the toxic substance is simply not available in a great number of toxic exposure cases.” Thomas and Wolf were joined by Chief Judge Stephanie Ray in overturning the decisions by the judge of compensation claims.
