PUT A SPIN ON RECYCLING LOCALS WHO UPCYCLE by Gina Castro
Did you know that the average person generates more than four pounds of trash each day? Talk about a dumpster fire. The EPA estimates that 75 percent of American waste is recyclable but only 30 percent of it is recycled. Items that aren’t recyclable contribute to the growing landfills. Fortunately, the City of Pensacola offers curbside recycling. For a list of recyclable items, visit cityofpensacola. com/228/Recyclable-Items. However, recycling isn’t the only way you can reduce landfill waste. Upcycling is a creative way to reuse unwanted materials. First City Art Center (FCAC) is hosting Upcycled Art Bazaar, April 17 from 10 am to 3 pm, to inspire the community to reuse unwanted items creatively. “With Earth Day and Arbor Day falling in April, it’s important to remind people that the things that are around you— you can’t just throw them away,” FCAC Events Manager, Kelly Leitermann said. “Instead, think about what you can do with them. Think, can you donate them, who else could use them, before just throwing them in the dumpster and sending them to a landfill.” The community is able to donate certain unwanted items to FCAC, and FCAC will sell the items during the event to fundraise for their Youth Art Program Scholarship Fund. For a complete list of items FCAC will accept or to learn more about the event, visit firstcityart.org/product/art-bazaar/. The Upcycled Art Bazaar will also feature vendors who create products or art from upcycled materials. Downtown Crowd spoke with artists in the area who use upcycled materials to create something new.
The Illustrated Garden: Val Webb’s Art Studio
As the daughter of a writer, Webb spent her life surrounded by books. She’s always treasured books no matter the wear or age. Webb is a studio artist and illustrator who specializes in wildlife and botanical subjects. While on the hunt for the perfect sketchbook, she realized she could bind a sketchbook from her old books. Now, Webb visits yard sales and old book stores to collect unwanted or damaged books from 1904 to 1940 or later. Her sketchbooks include antique original pages and illustrations so that no two are ever the same. “It’s really important to remind people that you can think about objects you use ev-
ery day in a different way and make them even more special,” Webb said. You can find Webb on Facebook and Instagram @IllustratedGarden.
Can-dles by Joe
Local dad, Joe Snyder started a sustainable hobby just before COVID set in. Snyder and his wife love candles. One day, when Snyder was drinking a beer as he searched the web for more candles, he was struck with an idea: What if he turned his can of beer into a candle? On his first try, he was able to remove the top of the beer can with a can opener. He’s been pouring 100 percent soy based candles into upcycled containers ever since. “I feel good that, in a little over a year, there have been no cans or bottles that have left my house without there being a nice high-quality soy wax in them,” Snyder said. Customers can donate old bottles of wine, vintage beer cans or favorite containers, and Snyder can transform it into a candle. Some customers use it as decor, too. Can-dles by Joe offers dozens of scents. Some scents are made to smell like the container it is in, such as the whiskey scented candle in the Jack Daniels bottle. Snyder is interested in helping local businesses be more sustainable by upcycling their bottles and containers. Visit candlesbyjoe. com for more information. Diane Collins
Collins is a local painter and mixed media artist. Her artwork has been displayed in Gallery 1060 and A r t e l Gallery,
among others. Whenever Collins is in need of a brain break, she pieces together sculptures with household items like spoons, a glue bottle cap and paintbrushes and even bones and an old flip phone. “It’s a really nice break. It frees your brain a little bit. You start playing with them and see that this kind of fits against this and kind of looks like that, and just start putting things together,” Collins said. Collins’ solo exhibition at Artel Gallery, Shadowland featured sculptures of beetles and birds, such as Flip Phone Beetle and Hook Billed Sparrow. To see more of her work, visit gallery1060.com/ diane-collins. Rob Wacker
Growing up on a dairy farm in Minnesota, Wacker took art classes in school and describes himself as an imaginative child. He came to the area after serving in the military. It wasn’t until later in his adult life that he began selling his art and participating in local art shows. Wacker uses scrap metal, motorcycle and car parts to piece together metal sculptures. His art is permanently displayed in the Pensacola Library collection, and he is Blue Morning Gallery’s newest artist. Each piece in his sculptures are welded together. “The sculptures might be the same animal, but the parts will never be put together the same. I limit any cutting or bending. I just let the pieces go together,” Wacker said. You can find Wacker on Instagram @robwacker.
City of Pensacola for her interest in upcycling. As a city planner, she spent her days finding ways to spruce up old streetscapes and making the area pedestrian friendly. Once she retired, she honed in on her creative side. Fleming has taken classes around the country to learn skills like silk dying and how to recycle fabrics. She even went to Japan, where she learned about cultural patchwork called Boro. Boro is hand stitching patches to cover holes and tears, and it’s quite fashionable. Fleming creates sustainable fashion like purses and jean jackets from upcycled fabrics. “If an item is not perfect, you can make it even more interesting by patching it with something beautiful. That just gives it a better story,” Fleming said. To see more of her art, visit jenniferflemingart.com. Candace Hilton
The fashion industry is notorious for its pollution. 85 percent of textiles go to the dump each year, and the number of garments people buy only continues to grow. This issue motivated Candice Hilton to create sustainable fashion.
Since she was a young girl, Hilton has dreamed of being a fashion designer. She would experiment with her style and taught herself how to use a sewing machine. In recent years, she launched her fashion line: Peaceful Threads. Hilton creates bralettes, shorts, shirts and more uses hemp and bamboo fabric, rather than cotton, which requires large amounts of water and pesticides. Hemp and Bamboo, on the other hand, don’t require nearly as much water or pesticides as cotton, and these fabrics have a longer lifespan. “I’m definitely aware of how wasteful the fashion industry is,” Hilton said. “So I wanted to make sure Peaceful Threads would be all geared around sustainable materials and upcycled materials. It started building from there.” Hilton also incorporates upcycled clothing from thrift stores in her clothes. To see more of her Peaceful Threads, follow them on IG @peacefulthreads_.

RURAL LEADERS WORRY ABOUT ‘DEVASTATING’ PRISON CLOSURES DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — A plan to shutter up to four state prisons is alarming officials in Florida’s rural regions where correctional institutions have played an outsized role in providing jobs and supporting businesses for decades. Senate President Wilton Simpson’s proposal to consolidate prisons and demolish four facilities drew bipartisan pushback when it was released recently as lawmakers began to piece together next year’s state budget. Simpson, R-Trilby, has defended consolidation and closures, saying the plan is designed to resuscitate a prison system in crisis. The Department of Corrections for years has grappled with decaying infrastructure, an exceedingly high worker turnover rate and staffing vacancies so dire they now pose security threats to employees and inmates. But local officials say the potential closures could have a devastating impact in rural counties, where prisons for generations have been woven into the fabric of the local culture. “You could literally kill a community overnight by closing a prison, if it’s in the right location. You’re talking about generational changes that would affect our citizens,” Levy County Commissioner John Meeks, chairman of the state’s Small County Coalition, told The News Service of Florida in a phone interview. State prisons not only provide direct jobs for corrections workers but have a cascading impact on the surrounding communities, where employees buy groceries, eat at restaurants, attend schools and purchase homes. Rural regions with correctional facilities also benefit from people who patronize local businesses as they make trips to visit loved ones or friends who are incarcerated. “It’s almost like it’s its own form of tourism,” Meeks said. And because inmates are included in counties’ census counts, the loss of prisoners could result in a significant decrease in state and federal
SOCIAL MEDIA CRACKDOWN EMERGES IN SENATE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF The Florida Senate is poised to start moving forward with a proposal designed to crack down on social-media companies that block users from their platforms, a priority of Gov. Ron DeSantis. The Senate Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee is scheduled Tuesday to take up a proposal (SPB 7072) that includes barring social-media companies from removing political candidates from the companies’ platforms. Companies that violate the prohibition could face fines of $100,000 a day for statewide candidates and $10,000 a day for
revenue-sharing funds, which Meeks said would deal “another devastating blow” to rural areas. The Senate included a requirement to shutter four state prisons by Dec. 31 — and raze the buildings by 2024 — in a proposed $2.75 billion budget for the Department of Corrections for the fiscal year that begins in July. The Senate plan, which calls for the elimination of 6,000 prison beds, doesn’t target specific institutions. Instead, it would require the corrections agency to “develop a comprehensive facility consolidation plan to adjust prison capacity” based on the final state budget. Senate and House leaders will negotiate a final spending plan before the scheduled April 30 end of the legislative session. Under the Senate approach, facilities would be considered for closure based on a variety of factors, such as the ages and “facility maintenance needs” of institutions; proximity to other prisons; the “local labor pool and availability of workforce for staffing the institution;” historical correctional officer vacancy rates at the prisons; and “the impact of closure on the local community’s economy.” Meeks and other Small County Coalition leaders recently sent a letter to Gov. Ron DeSantis, Simpson and House Speaker Chris Sprowls emphasizing prisons’ role in rural areas. “The closure of a prison in a small rural county would be a death sentence on the community, from the standpoint of creating essentially a ghost town,” Small County Coalition lobbyist Chris Doolin told the News Service. “It will cause people to leave. It will be devastating. That’s just the bottom line.” Florida has more than 145 correctional facilities — including prisons, annexes and work camps — throughout the state, with a concentration in North Florida. Nearly 60 percent of the facilities are located in rural counties, according to a 2019 report by the Legislature’s Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability.
other candidates, under the bill. The proposal also would require socialmedia companies to publish standards about issues such as blocking users and apply the standards consistently. DeSantis and other Republican leaders have made the issue a priority after decisions by Twitter and Facebook to block former President Donald Trump from their platforms in January after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol to try to prevent certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. The state House began moving forward last month with a bill (HB 7013) that is similar to the Senate measure. The House bill will be heard Tuesday by the Judiciary Committee and then would be ready to go to the full House.
The oldest prison still in operation, Union Correctional Institution located in Raiford, was built in 1913. Union and Bradford counties have nine facilities — including five major institutions — in a North Florida region known as the “iron triangle.” The Legislature for decades fostered the corrections relationship with rural counties, where land was cheaper than in more populated areas, small county officials said. “At the end of the day, long before I was around, there was almost an agreement made between the state of Florida and the rural communities, and I think a lot of our legislators today lost sight of that,” Meeks said, noting that “prisons aren’t popular things.” Rural communities, which have limited economic bases beyond agriculture and nascent ecotourism industries in some areas, took on the correctional facilities because of their accompanying economic value, the county officials said. DeSantis did not include prison consolidation and closures in a budget proposal he rolled out in January, and the House spending plan does not order shutdowns or demolition of correctional facilities. “In the event the Department of Corrections elects to develop a comprehensive plan for the closure of two state operated correctional institutions, a written report of the plan must be submitted to the governor, president of the Senate, and speaker of the House of Representatives no later than Dec. 31, 2021,” the House proposal said. Simpson defended the Senate plan by pointing to a decline in Florida’s inmate population, which has gradually dropped in recent years, hovering between 80,000 and 90,000 prisoners. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the number of inmates plummeted to about 74,000 for a variety of reasons. As COVID-19 spread throughout the state last year, corrections officials for a period of time stopped accepting new inmates. Also, the prison population shrank because courts for months
POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS COULD BE EXEMPTED FROM UNION DUES BILL NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Unions representing law-enforcement officers and firefighters could be exempted from a controversial Senate proposal that would place new requirements on union dues paid by government employees. The Senate Rules Committee is slated Tuesday to take up the proposal (SB 78), which has drawn fierce opposition from unions. But a proposed amendment filed by bill sponsor Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, would exempt unions representing law-enforcement officers and firefighters from the requirements. If the
postponed criminal cases and jury trials amid the pandemic. A recent estimate showed a backlog of more than 1.1 million pending civil and criminal cases. Critics of the Senate proposal say the state needs to plan for an influx of prisoners. But Simpson said Department of Corrections Secretary Mark Inch, who opposes shuttering prisons, could use the $160 million proposed savings — $40 million per prison — in the Senate plan to boost workers’ salaries, to address employee retention and recruitment issues and repair existing facilities. The Senate plan “is a windfall opportunity, not a cut” for the corrections agency, Simpson told reporters recently, outlining what he said he told Inch about the proposal. “We’re not looking to cut your budget. We’re looking to cut the amount of buildings you have to manage, because we don’t have enough people. Spread those people out, you will probably have ample people at that point and then we’ll give you the money to enhance and take care of the backlog of maintenance, upgrade the facilities so that they can operate on a very high level,” Simpson said. Inch is pushing a DeSantis plan to reduce corrections officers’ work shifts from 12 to 8.5 hours per day, a schedule already in effect at some prisons. He said the shift-hour reduction — which is being opposed in lawsuits filed by the Florida Police Benevolent Association, which represents corrections officers — will help recruit and retain workers. Lawmakers must “provide the tools to recruit, train and retain staff and improve the correctional environment as outlined in our strategic plan and the governor’s budget recommendation,” Inch said in a prepared statement when asked about potential prison closures. “Failure to address these priorities will greatly impact our ability to safely perform our core mission,” he said.
amendment is approved Tuesday, the bill would continue to apply to unions, such as the Florida Education Association teachers union, that have long been major supporters of Democratic political candidates. The proposed requirements would include adding a step in which government employers would have to confirm with workers that they want dues taken out of their pay before the deductions could start. Currently, union bargaining agents can submit written requests to begin deductions. Also, the bill would require deductions to be reauthorized when new collective bargaining agreements are reached or after three years, whichever happens first.

SUPREME COURT TO HEAR CHALLENGE TO INSURANCE LAW
JUSTICES DECLINE TO HEAR EXFOSTER CHILD AIDS CASE
JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a constitutional challenge to a 2016 state law that put new requirements on life-insurance companies to determine whether policyholders have died and to contact beneficiaries. Four insurers went to the Supreme Court last year after a divided 1st District Court of Appeal upheld the law. The Supreme Court issued an order Monday saying it would take up the dispute, though it did not set a date for oral arguments. The case centers on a law that requires insurers to search what is known as the “Death Master File” or another comparable database annually to determine whether policyholders have died. The Death Master File is a database run by the federal Social Security Administration. The law applied the new requirements retroactively to policies dating back as far as 1992. The four insurers — United Insurance Company of America, The Reliable Life Insurance Company, Mutual Savings Life Insurance Company and Reserve National Insurance Company — argue that retroactive application of the law violates their due-process rights. They did not challenge the requirements for new policies. “If this (Supreme) Court does not accept jurisdiction, it not only will impact the hundreds of life insurers and millions of life insurance policies issued before the act’s effective date, but also will impact all insurance companies and all insurance policy types by creating uncertainty as to the law governing the retroactive application of statutes to previously issued insurance policies,” attorneys for the companies wrote in a September brief asking justices to hear the case. A panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal, in a 2-1 decision, upheld the law in June. That decision overturned a ruling by former Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis, who had agreed with the insurers that the retroactive part of the law was unconstitutional. The appeals court majority said the
JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to take up a lawsuit that alleged Florida Department of Children and Families social workers showed “deliberate indifference” to a child who was placed in foster care shortly after birth and was diagnosed with AIDS at age 14. The decision effectively let stand lower-court rulings that rejected the lawsuit filed in 2016 by Shane Davis on behalf of his adopted son, identified only by the initials J.D.D. J.D.D. was born April 10, 2000, at Bayfront Medical Center in Pinellas County to a mother who used crack cocaine and lacked prenatal care, and the infant was treated for exposure to cocaine, according to court documents. About a week after birth, the Department of Children and Families took custody of J.D.D., and he was later placed in foster care and adopted at age 3 by Davis’ family. When he was 14, J.D.D., was diagnosed with HIV that had progressed to full-blown AIDS. Davis in 2016 filed a lawsuit alleging that Wileen Weaver and Pauline Riley, who were social workers involved in J.D.D.’s case when he was a newborn did not properly make sure he was tested for HIV. The lawsuit alleged that the social workers violated J.D.D.’s rights by showing “deliberate indifference.” But a federal district judge and a panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the lawsuit, pointing to “qualified immunity,” which helps shield government employees from liability for actions taken in the course of their jobs. A three-judge panel of the Atlantabased appeals court wrote in a March 2020 ruling that Davis did not have “any direct evidence that Weaver and Riley were actually aware of a substantial risk that J.D.D. (or even his mother) had HIV.” “More importantly, although J.D.D.
insurance industry’s “selective use” of the Death Master File in the past spawned investigations and lawsuits. Companies were accused of routinely using the Death Master File to identify people whose deaths would end annuity payments, while not as promptly identifying people whose deaths would require payouts of insurance policies. “As to insurance proceeds, it is clear that some, if not many, insurers nationwide and in Florida were not complying with their pre-existing obligations to ensure that life insurance contracts were handled with consumers’ interests in mind,” appellate Judge Scott Makar wrote in an opinion joined by Judge M. Kemmerly Thomas. “Rather than vigilantly using the DMF (or some other equivalent or substitute) to track possible deaths of holders of life insurance, many insurers used the DMF only as a means to curtail annuity payments when an annuity recipient died. The investigations, litigation, and settlements in the industry nationwide over the past decade about the practices at issue in this case, which need not be recounted in detail, provide the foundation for remedial statutes enacted in many states, including in Florida, to formally rectify industry practices harmful to consumers.” But three insurance-industry groups have filed notices about plans to submit friend-of-the-court briefs supporting the insurance companies. They argued, in part, that the additional requirements would hurt small and midsized life insurers. “This is especially true regarding older policies issued before modern technology was available to store information required to complete the new search and contact requirements,” attorneys for the American Council of Life Insurers wrote. “Complying with the act’s requirements as applied to these older policies will be impracticable, if not impossible for many of ACLI’s (the council’s) members. Imposing the act retroactively will also increase costs. Increased costs means higher prices for consumers, rendering small value life insurance policies prohibitively expensive for many lower income consumers.”
received treatment from several medical professionals, none of them thought to have him tested for HIV,” the appeals court ruling said. “Hospital staff and doctors cared for J.D.D. not only at his birth but also for his week-long stay after his birth. The hospital’s abuse report shows that medical staff knew that J.D.D. was exposed to his mother’s cocaine, that his mother had no prenatal care, and that J.D.D. had low oxygen. Still, they did not request HIV screening.” Davis appealed to the Supreme Court in December, focusing on issues related to qualified immunity. The Supreme Court, as is common, did not explain its reasons Monday for declining to take up the case. In the petition filed at the Supreme Court, Davis’ attorney wrote that legally required HIV testing had been withheld during a six-week window “in which he (J.D.D.) could have received effective treatment with antibodies, causing his obvious risk for HIV infection to progress to AIDS.” The petition cited testimony from physicians who said newborns who are tested and treated quickly for HIV are unlikely to develop HIV infections and AIDS. But in a document filed at the Supreme Court last month, attorneys for Weaver and Riley wrote that “there is no dispute that J.D.D.’s serious medical condition was not diagnosed by a physician at or near the time of his birth.” “Therefore, to defeat qualified immunity, and show a deliberate indifference, petitioner was required to show that the risk of harm to J.D.D. was so obvious that even a ‘lay person would easily recognize’ the necessity for a doctor’s attention,” the document said, partially quoting a legal precedent. “However, none of the people involved here were actually aware of the risk, nor did they infer or otherwise recognize the risk; neither the doctors, hospital staff, defendant social workers, nor J.D.D.’s adoptive family.”
