SOUTHERN FRIED GHOST STORIES by Fiama Mastrangelo
Her name is Ashley McGlothren, and she’s going to tell you a scary story. Local podcaster, non-profit founder and selfproclaimed stage mom, McGlothren delivers spine-chilling tales of horror and true crime from south of the MasonDixon line to listeners across the nation. The podcast just surpassed 50,000 downloads, proving that “spooky season” is year-round. Southern Haunts is the brainchild of McGlothren, who is also the co-host of The Stage Moms podcast and president and founder of Arrant Knavery, a local theatre company. Originally from Panama City, McGlothren has spent her entire life in the South and wanted to explore the spookier side of Southern history. With her background in theatre and experience in the world of podcasting, McGlothren decided to start up Southern Haunts as a way to pass the time during nationwide lockdowns in June 2020. The idea for Southern Haunts began when McGlothren recorded “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman for The Stage Moms’ Storyteller Series. Written from the perspective of a woman descending into madness, “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a chilling tale with plenty of potential for haunting readings. “That episode is really sort of what got my wheels spinning about Southern Haunts. I was like ‘Oh, I could do this on a podcast,’” McGlothren said. As an established figure in the Pensacola arts community, McGlothren expressed her deep appreciation for the beauty of Southern living and the community that it inspires. She’s no stranger to hauntings, either. McGlothren is the Director of Marketing at Pensacola Little Theatre, one of the oldest operating theatres in Southern America. As many locals are aware, PLT has seen its fair share of hauntings and has been visited in the past by paranormal investigators.
One of the leading reasons that McGlothren decided to focus her scary stories South of the Mason-Dixon line, however, is the rich tradition of storytelling that is a staple of Southern culture. Perhaps it’s the imagery of dripping Spanish Moss, or the murky waters of alligatorinfested swamps that add a certain vivacity to the campfire stories of Southern people. Or perhaps it’s the national headlines of “Florida Man Throws Baby Alligator into Drive-Thru Window” that intrigues listeners and popularizes the legends of bizarre creatures such as the Swamp Ape.
We have the lore that we have in the South because it comes from all the different types of people that are here. And those are the stories that I want to focus on in this show.” “Honestly, the weird stuff that gets made up in the South is crazy. I mean like, from creatures to ghost stories and all that kind of stuff, the South just has really weird ones,” McGlothren said. Southern Haunts has covered some of our most infamous cryptids, including The Bunnyman, The Donkey Lady and even Mothman himself. In addition to the goofier stories of boogeymen and monsters, South-

ern Haunts also tackles the darker stories of true crime. Given the complicated history of racism and violence that has plagued Southern America, McGlothren aims to tell these stories accurately and responsibly, while reclaiming the lore championed by people of color. “I wanted people to know about things that happened in the South. I wanted to see a change in the way that stories in the South are told,” she said. “We have the lore that we have in the South because it comes from all the different types of people that are here. And those are the stories that I want to focus on in this show.” The love for Southern charm and the passion to reclaim its stories has propelled McGlothren into the national spotlight for her storytelling. Each episode is a fun-sized adventure into the strange and unusual history and haunts of the South. While spooky stories are typically limited to campfires and Halloween programming, something about our local ghouls keeps audiences captivated year-round. Southern Haunts retains a certain charm that listeners crave. “A lot of people have told me it’s relaxing, which is strange,” McGlothren laughed. “I just want to keep creating a time for people to
escape the weirdness that is our world. I like the idea of creating a community where people feel comfortable talking about paranormal stuff and sharing their stories.” Southern Haunts regularly features listener stories to bring the spooks that much closer to home and continues the tradition of passing down lore for future generations. As the founder of a non-profit and leader in local theatre, McGlothren knows a thing or two about community. “Once things are a little bit safer, I would love to partner with other podcasters in the area and do a full performance of a night of podcast episodes,” she said. Live readings are just some of the ideas McGlothren has cooking up
for the future. Other show ideas have been considered, and Southern Haunts frequently collaborates with similar shows, such as Let’s Not Meet and Two Drinks and a Haunting. There’s a lot to look forward to if you can’t get enough of Southern Haunts.

RURAL TECH TALK IN ESCAMBIA COUNTY DISCUSSES THE FUTURE OF BROADBAND Escambia County District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry was proud to host Charter Communications representatives today who joined Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, representatives from the University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences 4-H Youth Development Program, county leaders and business owners to present “A Real Rural Tech Talk” broadband roundtable and 4-H Essay Competition Awards. The roundtable, held at the Langley Bell 4-H Center in Cantonment, explored the opportunities and challenges of broadband deployment, access and adoption, and public-private funding to bring connectivity to thousands of unserved Floridians. The Federal Communication Commission estimates that there are more than 804,000 Floridians without access to a wired broadband connection. Even more lack the basic skills or technology
necessary to put it to use. “The pandemic has highlighted the need for broadband availability and adoption and Charter is committed to bridging the digital divide to positively impact rural communities,” said Marva Johnson, Senior Vice President, State Government Affairs Charter Communications. “As Americans across the country increasingly rely on broadband to work, learn, access healthcare and stay in touch with family and loved ones, bringing broadband access to more unserved areas should be a priority for all stakeholders.” In addition to Charter’s existing ongoing network expansion plans, the company looks forward to participating in public-private partnerships to expand broadband access. Charter recently announced the launch of a multiyear, multibillion-dollar broadband buildout initiative to deliver gigabit high-speed broadband access to more than 1 mil-
lion unserved customer locations, as estimated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and awarded to Charter in the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) Phase I auction. “Enhancing Florida’s broadband infrastructure is vital to Florida’s future and helps ensure all citizens and businesses have the same opportunities for economic prosperity and access to critical services,” said Jimmy Patronis, Chief Financial Officer for the State of Florida. “I’m pleased that the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund awarded Charter nearly $23 million dollars to build out broadband infrastructure in our state. By working together to expand highspeed internet service, we can continue to position rural communities throughout Florida for economic success.” The roundtable, moderated by Escambia County District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry, also celebrated 4-H students, who entered the Charter/UF/
IFAS/4-H Florida essay competition, Opportunity4All: Expanding Broadband in Rural Communities. Members awarded for their outstanding technology essay are: August Speisman, Duval County 4-H - 1st Place, $750 Anna Steed, Hillsborough County 4-H - 2nd Place, $500 Ryleigh Rhoden, Bradford County 4-H - 3rd Place, $250 The essays focused on how connectivity enables technology that enhances the food and agricultural enterprise for all Floridians, resulting in greater food safety, increased efficiency for lower prices, and reduced environmental and ecological impacts. “I’d like to recognize and congratulate our future generation of leaders for their awards in the 4-H technology essay competition,” said Barry. Each winner received a cash prize and a Chromebook.

GAMBLING BILLS START MOVING AMID TALKS
DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — Murmurs, and at times shouts, of a renewed gambling deal between the state and the Seminole Tribe of Florida have bubbled during legislative sessions stretching back nearly a decade. But, as legislative leaders and governors come and go, finalizing an agreement — repeatedly likened to a “threedimensional game of chess” — has proven to be just out of reach year after year after year. The House, the Senate, the governor and the Seminoles are the central figures in trying to reach a deal, known as a “compact.” But the talks also include the state’s pari-mutuel operators and global casino giants willing to drop big bucks on even the possibility of planting roots in Florida, a vacation destination with a growing population that’s also home to some of the nation’s most affluent citizens. After repeated stabs at a compact fell through, speculation about an agreement involving Gov. Ron DeSantis, the Legislature and the tribe is roiling Tallahassee during the second half of the 2021 legislative session. As negotiations simmer in secret, a Senate committee Monday approved two gambling-related measures unrelated to tribal casinos. But even those efforts could be a long shot. Senate President Wilton Simpson, RTrilby, has taken the reins on a prospective deal with the Seminoles, as he has for the past three years. Simpson is trying to advance a deal designed to recapture tens of millions of dollars a year that evaporated after the state conceded that hugely popular “designated player” games conducted at many pari-mutuel cardrooms violated a 2010 compact with the Seminoles. That
compact, struck by former Gov. Charlie Crist and state lawmakers, gave the tribe “exclusive” rights to operate banked card games such as blackjack in exchange for a minimum annual payment of $150 million to the state. Simpson has worked with the Seminoles to nail down a 30-year compact, but he was unable to convince DeSantis and House leaders to endorse a plan during the past two legislative sessions. But this year, Simpson holds a powerful post as Senate president, and the compact could be part of horse-trading as the governor and House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, seek to cement their legislative priorities. After weeks without public movement on gambling issues, the Senate Regulated Industries Committee on Monday approved a bill (SPB 7076) that would create a five-member “Gaming Control Commission” to oversee gambling operations in the state. It also approved a bill (SPB 7080) that would do away with a requirement that many pari-mutuel facilities conduct live horse racing or jai alai games to offer morelucrative card rooms, a process known as “decoupling.” The decoupling proposal, however, could face hurdles during the final three weeks of the legislative session. Florida voters in 2018 approved a constitutional amendment that banned live greyhound racing at the state’s dog tracks but allowed operators to continue to conduct card games and to offer slots in South Florida. Pari-mutuel operators for years have pushed for decoupling, but critics say the card games are a reward for continuing to support the state’s once-glamorous racing and jai alai industries. The Senate plan approved by the committee Monday would affect parimutuels that have harness racing, quar-
POLICING CHANGES STALLED AS SESSION WINDS DOWN NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF After the Florida Legislative Black Caucus rolled out a slew of policing reform bills in February, many of the measures have not been heard in committees as time winds down on the 60day legislative session. House and Senate committees are scheduled to stop meeting early next week. After that, legislation that hasn’t been heard would have to wait until next year. This year’s session is slated to end April 30. The issue of policing reform is receiving focus nationally as former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin stands trial in the May death of George Floyd and after Daunte Wright, a Black man, was shot and killed by police Sunday in a Minneapolis suburb. “My heart broke,” state Rep. Fentrice Driskell, a Tampa Democrat who is a member of the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, said during a press availability Monday. “I can tell you that that’s the process that Black Americans go through each and every time there is a shooting of an unarmed Black person.” House
Minority Co-leader Evan Jenne, DDania Beach, said that “trying to get some common-sense police reform through this process has not been very easy” in the Republican-controlled House and Senate. Driskell held out hope for bills backed by the caucus, despite Republican leaders not scheduling committee hearings on the measures. “We continue to work on these issues, and we will do so until the clock runs out with (the) legislative session. We do still have an opportunity to get some of this heard in the main committees, which are still meeting,” Driskell said. Among the proposals are bills (SB 452 and HB 569) that would mandate body cameras be worn by officers in every Florida law enforcement agency. Another proposal (SB 942 and HB 647) would set a minimum standard for police training in de-escalation tactics. “This is not an indictment of the law enforcement community as a whole, but it is to say that there’s opportunity and room for growth here. Opportunity for greater transparency and accountability in policing,” Driskell said.
ter-horse racing and jai alai. Those facilities would no longer be required to offer the races or jai alai games while continuing to operate poker games or slot machines, which are allowed in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The Senate decoupling plan would not affect live racing at the state’s two thoroughbred tracks, Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach and Tampa Bay Downs in Hillsborough County. Thoroughbred breeders and owners support the plan, but a Gulfstream executive told the Senate panel Monday that allowing other pari-mutuels to do away with live racing and jai alai would put the track at a disadvantage in South Florida. “The consequences of creating an uneven playing field among slot permit holders would be devastating to the Florida thoroughbred industry, which is one of the largest agricultural sectors in the state of Florida,” said Mike Rogers, president of the Stronach Group, which owns Gulfstream. Rogers noted that Florida first authorized pari-mutuel wagering in 1921. “We’re very concerned that this path could jeopardize thoroughbred racing on its 100th anniversary,” he argued. The Senate proposal would allow the state’s only harness-racing track — Isle Casino Pompano — to do away with horse racing and keep slots and poker. But Sen. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, questioned the rationale behind decoupling harness racing while requiring thoroughbred tracks to continue live races. “I think everyone has seen that with the quarter horses and the standard quarter horses and the jai alai, that many of the facilities that are doing that are really just going through the motions. I don’t think most people would view what’s happening there as legitimate
ALTMAIER URGES MOVES TO CURB INSURANCE SUITS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Pointing to a “disparity” between Florida and other states in litigation, Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier is urging lawmakers to consider a series of steps to restrict propertyinsurance lawsuits. Altmaier sent a five-page letter this month to House Commerce Chairman Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, outlining potential ways to curb litigation, including limiting fees paid to attorneys who represent policyholders. As an example, Altmaier urged a change to address what are known as contingency risk multipliers. Florida allows plaintiffs to collect attorney fees when they prevail in cases against insurance companies, with the amounts typically set by a calculation of the number of hours spent on a case and a reasonable hourly rate. But courts also can approve contingency risk multipliers that increase the fees. Under a bill (SB 76) passed by the Senate last week, contingency risk multipliers
DESANTIS FACES APRIL 19 DEADLINE ON TAX BILL NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday formally received a bill that would require out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales taxes on purchases made by Floridians. The roughly $1 billion a year collected under the bill (SB 50) initially would be used to replenish an

contests,” Rodrigues said. Thoroughbred races are “legitimate races, competitive contests … so excluding them, I think, that makes sense,” he added. Harness racing “also appears to be legitimate,” Rodrigues said, asking committee Chairman Travis Hutson what the “thought process” was behind allowing harness racing to decouple. Hutson, who sponsored the bill, said thoroughbred track owners did not want to be included in the decoupling plan but harness-racing permit holders “did not have that same vibe.” “They were kind of 50-50 on whether they wanted to be decoupled or not,” Hutson, R-St. Augustine, added. The Florida Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association, however, opposes the approach. Harness racing or standardbred racing “enjoys a tradition in Florida that is over half a century long, and it’s doing quite well,” Lauren Jackson, a lobbyist for the organization, told the panel. “If the casino that holds the sole harness-racing permit is allowed to decouple, the entire industry would be left with nowhere in the state,” she said. Rodrigues voted in favor of the measure Monday, but expressed reservations. “The testimony we’ve heard today does concern me, particularly because I think harness racing is still legitimate racing,” he said. Under the other measure approved by the committee Monday, members of the proposed gaming commission would be appointed by the governor and require Senate confirmation. The House Commerce Committee is slated to consider similar proposals on Wednesday.
could only be awarded “in a rare and exceptional circumstance with evidence that competent counsel could not be retained in a reasonable manner.” A House property-insurance bill (HB 305) does not include such a limit. But in the letter, Altmaier urged the House to consider a “rare and exceptional” legal framework for the multipliers. The insurance industry is lobbying to limit attorney fees, arguing that they lead to increased litigation and higher insurance costs. State regulators last year approved dozens of double-digit rate increases for insurers. “These solutions could substantially reduce the litigation associated with claims, bringing more certainty into Florida’s property insurance market,” Altmaier said in the letter dated April 2. “Ultimately this will provide more stability in the market and more rate stability for consumers.” The Office of Insurance Regulation released the letter Monday in an email titled “notice to interested parties.”
unemployment trust fund that became depleted because of job losses during the COVID-19 pandemic. After the fund is replenished, the additional sales-tax revenue would be used to offset a cut in a commercial lease tax. The House and Senate gave final approval to the bill Thursday after years of lobbying by Florida businesses to require out-of-state retailers to collect sales taxes. DeSantis faces an April 19 deadline to sign, veto or allow the bill to become law without his signature.

PLAKON, PASSIDOMO FINALISTS FOR PSC POST JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — State Rep. Scott Plakon and a daughter of Senate Rules Chairwoman Kathleen Passidomo were among four finalists forwarded Monday to Gov. Ron DeSantis for a seat on the Florida Public Service Commission. After short introductions and interviews of five candidates, the Florida Public Service Commission Nominating Council advanced with little comment four applicants to replace former longtime Commissioner Julie Brown in the job that pays $135,997 a year. Brown was appointed in February by DeSantis as secretary of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Along with Plakon, a Longwood Republican who has been in the House for all but two years since 2008, the nominating council advanced Public Service Commission attorney Gabriella Passidomo, lobbyist Rosanna Manuela Catalano and Ana Ortega, who has served as chief policy adviser to three members of the Public Service Commission. “All these applicants, their resumes are quite impressive, it makes me feel a little bit inadequate,” said Sen. Jim Boyd, a Bradenton Republican who is a member of the nominating council. DeSantis will have 30 days to make a pick. The council, which did not debate the candidates, is chaired by Rep. Chuck Clemons, R-Newberry, and includes among its members Sen. Ben Albritton, R-Wauchula, Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, Rep. David Silvers, DLake Clarke Shores, and Rep. Cyndi Stevenson, R-Saint Johns. Plakon, who is chairman of the House Justice Appropriations Subcommittee, is slated to leave the House next year because of term limits. Gibson cast the only vote against Plakon, who highlighted his experience in the public and private sectors when introducing himself. “I dealt extensively on a daily basis with securities and regulatory-law lawyers of the various government agencies involved,” Plakon told the council. “I passed more than 40 laws, which of course involves a lot of research regarding Florida Statutes and (the) Constitution.” Passidomo, a 2019 graduate of Washington & Lee University Law School who the past two years has worked in the general counsel’s office of the Public Service Commission, was the only candidate to receive support from all 11 members of the nominating council.
Passidomo, whose mother, a Naples Republican, is slated to become Senate president after the 2022 elections, said that while on staff at the commission she has worked on cases such as costrecovery petitions for gas conservation programs, water and wastewater rate cases and an 813 area code numbering plan. She said the commission has opportunities to “grow in the areas of renewable energy and electric vehicles,” along with regulating water quality, while needing to maintain an ability to “communicate decisions to consumers in a way that recognizes that everyone is part of the process.” Ortega, who drew 10 votes, has spent more than five years as a chief policy adviser under three separate commissioners. She currently works with Commissioner Mike La Rosa, a former state House member from St. Cloud. “My work as an adviser touches all areas of the commission’s jurisdiction, from customer rates to quality of service through resiliency and reliability of services, (and) in cases involving very small water companies and large electric companies, often with very complex and technical issues,” Ortega told the council. “And my work as an adviser covers all areas of the commission’s work in rulemaking and workshops and monthly agenda conferences and internal affairs and even with communications with federal agencies.” Catalano, president of the communications firm Rocket Ship Consultants LLC and a former executive director of the Florida Elections Commission, stressed the need for regulatory practices, pointing to Texas, which suffered major electric-grid problems when hit with winter storms in February. “Just several weeks ago, we saw what happened in Texas, with their deregulated approach that left them woefully unprepared for Mother Nature’s winter storm,” said Catalano, who received seven votes of support. “Texas failed to ensure resource adequacy. Unlike Texas, I am proud that our state requires energy suppliers to meet strict safety and weatherization standards to protect the energy supply. While we must always balance energy costs against resiliency, I am excited at the idea of being part of those conversations.” Among Catalano’s lobbying clients are Southeast Renewable Fuels, Lee Memorial Health System, the Safe Children Coalition and the Suncoast Humane Society. Jeanne Curtin, a former deputy general counsel of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, didn’t advance, receiving just five votes.

SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY WAIVER DRAWS OBJECTION NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF An influential education organization founded and chaired by former Gov. Jeb Bush is criticizing parts of a decision by the state Department of Education to waive accountability measures tied to state exams. The department on Friday issued an emergency order nixing consequences tied to standardized test scores for students and schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It said graduation for high school seniors and promotion for third grade students this spring will not be contingent on passing exams. Similarly, end-of-course exam scores can be waived when determining whether students get promoted to the next grade levels. The non-profit Foundation for Florida’s Future, founded by Bush, released a statement Friday that said parts of the emergency order “raise concerns.” Executive Director Patricia Levesque wrote that waiving exams as a graduation requirement “waters down the hard work” of students and teach-
ers. “State policy is clear and consistent on provisions that ensure students are ready to move to 4th grade and that guarantee Florida’s high school diploma has meaning and value,” Levesque said in the statement. The foundation supported one part of the emergency order that allows schools to opt in to receiving school grades, which are based on student test scores. “The provisions released today that allow school districts to choose to earn a grade if they maintain assessments for a certain level of students is a thoughtful measure — schools that have improved student performance deserve recognition for that improvement,” Levesque wrote. The group’s criticisms came as many education officials applauded the waivers. Miami-Dade County Superintendent of Schools Alberto Carvalho said Friday that the order was received with “a sigh of relief and celebration” in his district. Gov. Ron DeSantis also expressed support, saying in a statement that it will “empower students, families and teachers.” As governor, Bush pushed through a series of accountability measures, including what was known as the “A-plus” plan. That included school grades and an emphasis on the results of testing.
