YOU CAN DO IT!

lorida summertime brings to mind the sights, smells and tastes of all sorts of fresh produce. From juicy berries and plump tomatoes to spicy peppers and crisp okra, we Pensacolians have the ability to grow a variety of fruits, veggies and herbs throughout the summer months. Our summer harvests cannot last forever, though. Rather than letting excess produce rot away, consider preserving the surplus by canning!

Canning leftovers from your summer harvest can help you get the most out of your garden, allowing for the yearround enjoyment of homegrown produce, while also promoting sustainability by minimizing waste and maximizing savings. We spoke with Alisa Ansley, owner of Murder Creek Canning Company, to learn more about canning safety as well as some of the most common canning methods. Ansley has over 50 years of canning experience and sells her own canned goods at the Palafox Market.

Safety

Safety is the most important aspect of canning to consider when starting out with at-home food preservation. When dealing with anything food- or preservationrelated, food-borne illness and spoiling must be taken into consideration. If bacteria exists on your canning jars before you seal them, the food can spoil, creating both a waste of time and the chance of sickness after consumption.

“The most important part of doing any canning or preserving is cleanliness,” Ansley explained.

“Your jars need to be sterilized before you ever use them. I sterilize mine with boiling water. Some people use the sterilization mode on their dishwasher, but I’m a little old school; I want to bring them to a boil in boiling water and make sure that they’re thoroughly sterile before I put my product in them.”

It is also very important to know the types of foods that can and cannot be canned safely at home. Products like jams and pickles can be canned safely, whereas products like milk or butter cannot be. There are many resources that can help with learning about canning safety, such as the USDA.

“The USDA sometimes offers beginning canning classes. They’re a great resource if you’re not sure if something can be safely canned, because not everything can be safely canned. If it’s a very dense food, there’s a possibility that the internal temperature in the center of that product that you are canning is not going to get hot enough to destroy any potential bacteria. The USDA can tell you whether or not something can be safely canned,” Ansley explained.

Even after successfully and safely canning your produce, it is important to consume the preserved products within their new shelf life. Ansley said that if your products are canned correctly, they should last unopened in the pantry for up to 18 months. However, much like grocery storebought jams and pickles, once a preserved product is opened it should be stored in the fridge.

Water Bath Canning

The most popular type of at-home canning is water bath canning. This method involves processing your jarred goods in boiling water until a vacuum seal forms. The process begins by placing your food items into sterilized jars, leaving about an inch of space at the top of the jar. Wipe off any spillage or excess on the rims of the jars with a clean wet cloth. Then, it is time to seal the jars. “Place your lids and your rings on. You don’t want to put your rings on too tight because you want a vacuum to form, so you’re just going to finger-tighten the rings, ” Ansley suggested.

After preparing and sealing the jars, place them onto a rack in a pot of boiling water, making sure the tops of the jars are covered with at

least an inch of water. The length of time that the jars should sit in the boiling water varies depending upon the recipe. Once the jars have processed the specific amount of time, they can be removed and placed on a surface in a room temperature space for 24 hours. As the jars cool and acclimate to the temperature, a vacuum seal forms. This seal allows the food to stay preserved and safe until the seal is broken. After setting out for 24 hours, your preserved goods are ready to be stored away or consumed.

When water bath canning, the acidity of the product that you are canning is important. Acidity is needed for this process because it prevents the growth of harmful bacteria that cause illnesses and poisoning like botulism. High acidity levels create an environment in which these bacteria cannot survive. Foods like tomatoes, berries and pickles are commonly preserved using this process.

“Certain fruits and vegetables can be water bath canned. It depends on the acidity level of the item that you are canning. Most fruits can be water bath canned and jellies can be too because the sugar is a natural preservative,” Ansley said.

Steam Canning

Steam canning is an at-home canning process that is similar to water bath canning in the way that it requires using a stovetop and boiling water, but the processes are also quite different. The main difference between these two canning methods is that with water bath canning, the jars are submerged in water, but with steam canning, the jars only come into contact with steam from a small amount of water.

Like water bath canning, steam canning is suitable for foods with higher acidity levels. Steam canning also involves the same beginning steps as water bath canning—filling your jars, wiping the rims and sealing the lids. The

next step of the steam canning process is different, as the equipment for steam canning is different. Steam canners have a shallow tray in the bottom with a rack that you can place your jars on. After preparing your jars and sealing the lids, place the jars on this rack. Then, place a small amount of water at the bottom of the tray, turn on the heat until you see steam and then cover with the lid. Your product should steam for as long as the recipe recommends. The steam will circulate around the jars, heating the product. Once the recommended amount of processing time is complete, the jars can be removed and set aside to cool down and come to room temperature. Much like water bath canning, as the jars cool, a vacuum seal forms to preserve the food inside.

Pressure Canning

In contrast with water bath and steam canning, pressure canning is a safe and effective way to preserve lower-acidity foods. Foods like low-acid vegetables, meats and soups are great candidates for pressure canning, because in order to be safe, they require higher temperatures than what water bath or steam canning provides. Pressure canning utilizes high pressure and heat that ensure the harmful bacteria is killed.

Once your jars are filled and sealed like in the previous processes, place the jars inside the pressure canner with a small amount of water at the bottom. Then, latch the lid to the canner and build the pressure. The amount of pressure utilized depends on your altitude and the particular recipe.

“In my area with my altitude, I add 10 pounds of pressure to everything I do,” Ansley explained.

“When you latch your lid down, you’re going to build the pressure inside that canister until you can see a small stream of steam being released. Then you have a weight that you would place on

the 10-pound setting. So, if at any point the pressure builds above 10 pounds, it’s going to automatically release pressure.”

After the pressure is maintained for the recommended processing time, turn off the heat and let the pressure go down in the canner. Do not turn the heat off and open the canner immediately, as it can cause burns and make the lids pop off the jars, defeating the purpose of the canning process. Once the canner is cooled and the pressure is back at zero, you can remove the jars and continue to let them cool. As the jars cool, a vacuum seal forms, preserving the food.

Getting Started

After getting a glimpse into the wonderful world of at-home canning, you may not know where to start. Ansley suggests starting simple, “I would recommend starting simple with jams and jellies. You can buy a simple water bath canning kit at a retail store for less than $25 or $30. I would recommend starting with water bath canning as there are a lot of different things that you can water bath can to find out whether or not you like it.”

There are many additional resources available for those looking to get started with at-home canning. “A wonderful resource is the Ball Blue Book of Canning; it provides great insight,” Ansley said. “It is great for people who are new and have never done it before. It lays everything out very clearly and it shows you the times that you need to process each item based on the size of the jar you’re putting in or what the contents are.”

Canning can be extremely rewarding, but safety should always be considered first. If you find yourself canning and have a question or need some help, be sure to utilize the USDA’s resources to understand the ins and outs of safe at-home canning.

BUSINESS LEADERS LOOK TO BOOST ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

A well-connected group of Florida business leaders thinks its members can help fill a void that opened last year when lawmakers broke up the business-recruitment agency Enterprise Florida.

The Florida Council of 100 on Wednesday released a report about types of businesses and industries that different areas of the state should work to attract, while offering its more than 150 members to help link businesses with regional economic-development organizations.

The report— “Beyond Sunshine: Advancing Florida’s World Class Economy for the Next Generation” —breaks Florida into six major regions and three rural areas of opportunity. Different industries are identified for each region based on issues such as existing economic clusters.

Council of 100 President and CEO Mike Simas said council members can help drive private-sector activity as they travel globally.

“We’re not going to be an economic development organization, ever,” Simas said. “Our role is to convene leaders from around the state, particularly private-sector thought leadership, to help solve public-sector problems.”

The group’s board includes people such as Todd Jones, executive chairman of Publix Super Markets; Joe York, president of Florida and gulf states for AT&T; former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux, chairman of the Gunster law firm; and former state House Speaker Will Weatherford, managing partner of Weatherford Capital. The board’s chairman is former Florida Power & Light CEO Eric Silagy.

“Cost issues and job growth are areas where our members are experts,” Simas said.

“They’re running the businesses in these regions that are driving a lot of this growth. And really, our goal is to help coordinate with the regional economic development organizations who have been doing this work remarkably well for a long time.”

The report includes some overlap in proposing what different regions of the state should focus on for business recruitment or expansion. The overlap occurs in industries such as distribution and e-commerce, aviation and defense, health services and information technologies.

But the report also calls for an emphasis on specific clusters, such as biopharmaceutical fields in South Florida and semiconductor manufacturing in Central Florida.

Simas said the report was already underway before state lawmakers in 2023 dismantled Enterprise Florida, which as a private-public organization helped guide Florida’s economic development. Lawmakers made the decision after years of debate about state business incentives.

About 20 Enterprise Florida employees and more than 20 business-recruitment responsibilities were shifted to the Department of Commerce. The agency’s overseas operations were revamped under the banner of the new non-profit Select Florida.

In a Council of 100 news release that accompanied the new report, Florida Department of Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly is quoted as saying he looks “forward to partnering with the council.”

‘FREEDOM MONTH’ TAX BREAKS TO START

JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Retailers hope outdoor enthusiasts planning to buy canoes, fishing gear or tickets to ball games have become more aware of an upcoming tax-free shopping period that lawmakers have dubbed “Freedom Month.”

The tax “holiday” will allow shoppers to avoid paying sales taxes on a wide range of recreational items and activities throughout July. It was part of a tax package (HB 7073) that the Legislature passed in March and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in May.

As examples, sales taxes won’t be collected in July on many supplies for boating, fishing and camping and tickets purchased for live music events, sporting events, fairs, festivals, theater performances and movies. Last year, the state offered the tax holiday for three months, but it will be limited to July this year.

Florida Retail Federation President Scott Shalley expressed optimism that “this more narrowed focus” will increase consumer awareness and provide a summer boost to retailers. The state this year also is offering separate tax holidays linked to back-to-school purchases and hurricanepreparedness supplies.

“I think the idea of paring it (the Freedom Holiday) down to a month is helpful. I think it definitely makes people focus more on that opportunity,” Shalley said. “It gives our retailers an opportunity to plan their marketing and put things in place that are more focused. And that has certainly been a benefit of the backto-school, the disaster-preparedness (holidays), and I think that follows suit here with the summer (holiday).”

The Freedom Holiday is expected to reduce state and local tax revenues by $91.8 million. When he signed the tax package, DeSantis said the holiday is intended to “get people outdoors” and “have fun.”

“No tax on recreational items. No tax on things, fishing supplies, boating supplies, athletic equipment, you name it, tax free for the month of July,” DeSantis said. “That is really, really significant.”

The Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, however, said that while sales-tax holidays have broad support, they are “political gimmicks” that distract from “genuine, permanent tax relief.”

“They do not promote economic growth or significantly increase consumer purchases, but instead shift the timing of purchases,” the Tax Foundation said. “Some retailers even raise prices during these holidays, reducing consumer savings.”

People can buy tax-free tickets in July for events that will occur before the end of the year. But Ticketmaster’s website noted that changes such as upgrades made after July will be subject to taxes. Ticketmaster also advised people that additional services tied to live events, such as parking and memorabilia purchases, might be taxed.

WETLANDS FIGHT TO CONTINUE FOR MONTHS

While Florida has sought to speed up the case, an appeals-court battle about permitting authority for projects that affect wetlands likely will not be resolved until late this year — at the soonest.

The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Tuesday issued an order that gave a schedule for the state, the federal government and environmental groups to file briefs in the case. The earliest briefs will be filed in August, and final briefs will be filed in November.

The order also did not set a date for oral arguments, with the court saying it will inform the parties later.

Florida in May filed a motion seeking “expedited” consideration of the case, which is being closely watched by business and environmental groups. Florida is seeking to overturn a ruling by a district judge that vacated a 2020 decision by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to shift permitting authority from federal officials to the state.

In requesting expedited consideration, the state made a series of arguments, including that Florida “has suffered — and will continue to suffer — an irreparable injury from having its … program stripped away during lengthy appellate proceedings.”

But the federal government and environmental groups opposed speeding up the appeal. They said, in part, that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is handling the wetlandsrelated permitting after U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss vacated the shift of the authority to the state. The Army Corps also had the authority before the 2020 shift.

groups, wrote in a June 3 court document. “And there is no evidence that the public requires expedited resolution of the appeal since the Corps is fully capable of permitting projects where the public is a beneficiary.”

Tuesday’s order setting the schedule was in response to the state’s motion to expedite the case.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved the transfer of the permitting authority to Florida in December 2020, about a month before former President Donald Trump’s administration ended. The move made Florida only the third state, after Michigan and New Jersey, to receive the authority.

Earthjustice filed the lawsuit in 2021 against the federal government on behalf of the Center for Biological Diversity, Defenders of Wildlife, the Sierra Club, the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, the Florida Wildlife Federation, Miami Waterkeeper and St. Johns Riverkeeper. The state later intervened to defend the transfer.

In a February ruling, Moss found that actions by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in approving the shift violated the federal Endangered Species Act, and he vacated the transfer. In April, Moss issued a final judgment that cleared the way for appeals.

The state quickly appealed. Meanwhile, the federal government and the environmental groups filed notices of appeal this month. While Moss sided with the environmental groups in vacating the transfer of authority, the groups are appealing parts of his ruling that dismissed issues in the case.

The tax holiday also doesn’t cover rentals of such things as fishing gear and kayaks and doesn’t include purchases at places such as theme parks and airports.

Shalley said he understands the exclusion of rental items, as “the holiday is designed to provide relief for Floridians.”

“If you’re looking at certain markets, that (rental items) may apply more to visitors,” Shalley said.

The state began holding the Freedom Holiday in 2021 for a one-week period around Independence Day. It was repeated as a oneweek event in 2022 before being expanded to three months last year.

It is among the largest portions of the new tax package, which is projected to reduce revenue by $439.6 million during the fiscal year that will begin Monday.

Meanwhile, the start of the new 20242025 fiscal year means two tax holidays that were in effect throughout the current fiscal year will go away.

Taxes will return to Energy Star appliances such as washing machines that cost $1,500 or less, clothes dryers that cost $1,500 or less, water heaters that cost $1,500 or less and refrigerators that cost $4,500 or less. They also will apply to gas ranges and cooktops.

Here is a partial list of what people can buy in July without paying sales taxes:

• Tickets to concerts, sporting events, cultural events, theater performances and movies scheduled before Dec. 31.

• Season tickets to ballets, plays, music events and musical theater performances.

• Gym memberships.

• Bait and fishing tackle that costs $5 or less.

• Sunscreen and insect repellant that costs $15 or less.

• Snorkels, goggles and swimming masks that cost $25 or less.

• Camping lanterns, flashlights and tackle boxes that cost $30 or less.

• Water bottles that cost $30 or less.

• Pool floats, inflatable chairs, and pool toys that cost $35 or less.

• Sleeping bags, portable hammocks, camping stoves and collapsible camping chairs that cost $50 or less.

• Bicycle helmets that cost $50 or less.

• Life jackets, coolers, paddles, and oars that cost $75 or less.

• Fishing rods and reels that cost $75 or less.

• Sunglasses that cost $100 or less.

• Residential pool and spa filters, lights and covers that cost $100 or less.

• Water skis, wakeboards and kneeboards that cost $150 or less.

Residential pool and spa chemicals that cost $150 or less.

• Tents that cost $200 or less.

• Binoculars that cost $200 or less.

• Gas or charcoal grills that cost $250 or less.

• Paddleboards and surfboards that cost $300 or less.

• Canoes and kayaks that cost $500 or less.

• Bicycles that cost $500 or less.

“There is no evidence that the regulated community is ‘in disarray’ because the (Army) Corps has resumed authority over the program and is presently reviewing and issuing permits,” lawyers from the Earthjustice legal organization, which represents the environmental

Before seeking expedited consideration of the appeal, the state in April also sought a stay of Moss’ ruling while the appeal plays out. But a three-judge panel of the appeals court issued an order in May that said Florida “has not satisfied the stringent requirements for a stay.”

FSU ARGUES CASE SHOULD MOVE FORWARD

JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Florida State University late Tuesday urged an appeals court to reject a request by the Atlantic Coast Conference to at least temporarily put on hold a lawsuit that could lead to the school leaving the conference.

FSU attorneys filed a 17-page document at the 1st District Court of Appeal that was the latest move in a tangled legal battle that spans two states and has drawn national attention amid major realignments in college athletics.

The FSU filing stemmed from an attempt by the conference to get a stay of a lawsuit that FSU filed in December in Leon County circuit court. The ACC contends that a lawsuit it filed in North Carolina against the school should have priority — a lawsuit that was filed a day before FSU’s lawsuit was filed in Leon County.

Both lawsuits involve media rights for sports events and financial penalties that FSU would have to pay if it leaves the North Carolina-based conference. FSU essentially contends the conference has shortchanged its members through television contracts.

Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper refused to grant a stay in FSU’s lawsuit and has continued moving forward with the case. That included a decision last week denying the conference’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

The ACC on June 5 filed what is known as a petition for writ of certiorari at the 1st District Court of Appeal that argued Cooper erred when he denied the conference’s request to stay the case. The conference followed up June 13 by filing a motion at the appeals court seeking a stay of the case while the petition for writ of certiorari is decided.

FSU’s filing Tuesday night responded to the June 13 motion, but it also reflected the underlying debate about whether the Leon County lawsuit should be put on hold. That debate centers on whether the North Carolina case should be allowed to go forward first — and whether a legal “principle of priority” should apply.

The school’s attorneys argued Tuesday that Cooper correctly ruled the North Carolina case should not have priority. FSU echoed Cooper’s conclusion that the conference’s lawsuit in North Carolina was an

“anticipatory” filing to effectively get to court before Florida State did.

FSU’s attorneys wrote that the school’s Board of Trustees, the plaintiff in the Leon County case, “will incur injury if a stay is granted pending this court’s review” of the ACC petition.

“The possibility of conflicting rulings — at least anytime soon — as between the Florida and North Carolina courts is remote and speculative, at best,” Tuesday’s filing said. “ At the same time, the FSU Board (of Trustees) would be stymied in its effort to vindicate its rights in Florida” if a stay is granted.

But in its June 13 motion, ACC attorneys warned of a legal “collision course” if a stay is not issued.

“Failure to stay this action pending certiorari review would subject the ACC to irreparable harm because the trial court (Cooper) and the North Carolina court may continue to reach inconsistent rulings in the parallel proceedings over the same dispute,” the motion said.

The months of legal wrangling have come as FSU is widely believed to be seeking to leave the ACC to move to a more-lucrative conference such as the Big Ten or the Southeastern Conference. Recent realignments have included major players in college sports, such as Oklahoma, Texas, UCLA and USC, deciding to switch conferences.

FSU contends that it could face “unconscionable” financial penalties if it leaves the ACC. But the conference has defended its handling of media-rights agreements at the crux of the dispute.

A North Carolina judge in April rejected a request by FSU to dismiss the North Carolina case or to stay it. Disagreeing with Cooper’s later conclusion, Louis Bledsoe, chief business court judge in Mecklenburg County, N.C., wrote that the “ACC did not engage in improper conduct or ‘procedural fencing’ in filing this action in North Carolina. Accordingly, considering all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the filing of this action and the Florida action, the court concludes, in the exercise of its discretion, that the ACC’s choice of forum is entitled to deference on this record.”

The administration of the estate of Samuel John Calderaro, Jr., deceased, is pending in the Circuit Court for Santa Rosa County, Florida, Probate Division, the address of which is 4025 Avalon Blvd., Milton, Florida 32583. The file number for the estate is 2024-CP284. The estate is testate and the date of the decedent’s will is October 30, 2003.

The names and addresses of the personal representative and the personal representative’s attorney are set forth below.

The fiduciary lawyer-client privilege in section 90.5021, Florida Statutes, applies with respect to the personal representative and any attorney employed by the personal representative.

Any interested person on whom a copy of the notice of administration is served must file with the court, on or before the date that is 3 months after the date of service of a copy of the Notice of Administration on that person, any objection that challenges the validity of the will, venue, or jurisdiction of the court. The 3 month time period may only be extended for estoppel based upon a misstatement by the personal representative regarding the time period within which an objection must be filed. The time period may not be extended for any other reason, including affirmative representation, failure to disclose information, or misconduct by the personal representative or any other person. Unless sooner barred by section 733.212(3), Florida Statutes, all objections to the validity of a will, venue or the jurisdiction of the court must be filed no later than the earlier of the entry of an order of final discharge of the personal representative or 1 year after service of the notice of administration.

Persons who may be entitled to exempt property under section 732.402, Florida Statutes, will be deemed to have waived their rights to claim that property as exempt property unless a petition for determination of exempt property is filed by such persons or on their behalf on or before the later of the date that is 4 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on such persons or the date that is 40 days after the date of termination of any proceedings involving the construction, admission to probate, or validity of the will or involving any other matter affecting any part of the exempt property.

Unless an extension is granted pursuant to section 732.2135(2), Florida Statutes, an election to take an elective share must be filed on or before the earlier of the date that is 6 months after the date of service of a copy of the notice of administration on the surviving spouse, an attorney in fact or a guardian of the property of the surviving spouse; or the date that is 2 years after the date of the decedent’s death.

Under certain circumstances and by failing to contest the will, the recipient of this notice of administration may be waiving his or her right to contest the validity of a trust or other writing incorporated by reference into the will.
