While the fulfillment centers process and ship orders directly to consum ers, the distribution centers — such as the one planned for Santa Rosa County — serve as a way station within the wholesale portion of the supply chain where manu facturers deliver products to be distributed to retailers. Each of the facilities operated within the Amazon network are directly posi tioned to support customer fulfillment and delivery operations. The compa ny’s vast network and stra tegic fulfillment program allows it to deliver goods to customers in the shortest possible time, making it one of the leading e-commerce giants in the world. The company currently operates a total of 85 facili ties throughout Florida, with another two dozen projects either under construction or currently being planned. The nearest Florida facilities include a deliv ery facility in Marianna that launched in 2021, and other delivery and order fulfill ment centers planned to open later this year in Talla hassee.Amazon’s pay currently averages around $18 per hour or more across the board, including in Flor ida. It also provides flex ible work schedules and a complete benefits pack age with the opportunity to purchase stock within the company.“Weknow Amazon will have a talented pool of work ers to choose from and will make a lasting investment in our great county with good paying jobs. We, as a county, are always moving forward with our mission statement in mind – serving our community, committed to excellence,” Piech said. • S anta Rosa County will soon welcome a new tenant to its industrial parks that is anticipated to bring hundreds of new jobs to the local economy. Site plans have been submitted to Santa Rosa County for a new Amazon distribution center in Santa Rosa County Industrial Park located in East Milton just off US 90.

As one of the world’s largest retailers, the new Amazon facility serves as a big score for the county’s economic development team. “We are excited to have Amazon choose one of the Santa Rosa County industrial parks to call home.

The county announced the project when plans were initially submitted in 2021; however there were no specific details released to the public regarding the name or type of Fortune 500 corpora tion behind the project.

BAPTIST HEART & VASCULAR INSTITUTE PHYSICIAN SAYS HEAT CAN AFFECT HEART HEALTH Escambia County is thrilled to announce that a leatherback turtle nest hatched on Pensacola Beach for the first time in over 20 years. Approximately 60 leatherback hatchlings made their way to the Gulf during the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 10. Aided by a full moon, the hatchlings were able to make their way to the Gulf unassisted, a rare victory on a developed coastline.“Thisis the only leatherback nest in northwest Florida this season and the first to successfully hatch in Escambia County since 2000,” said Mark Nicho las, Escambia County Environmental Program Manager and lead of the coun ty’s Sea Turtle Conservation Program. “It proved to be a long wait for our Sea Turtle Volunteers, who have been keeping an eye on the nest over the entirety of its 78-day incubation. We cannot thank them enough for their patience and dedication to moni toring this Thoughnest.”sometimes seen offshore, leatherbacks are considered rare visitors to Escambia County, preferring to nest along the southeastern coast of Florida. Leatherback hatchlings that progress to adulthood will grow to over six feet long and up to 1,500 pounds, making them the largest living sea turtle. Every hatchling counts! Help protect hatchlings and turtles by remembering: Lights Out! Both hatchlings and nest ing turtles need dark beaches to find the Gulf of Mexico. Leave the flash lights and cell phones at home or use a red flashlight when on the beach at night. Turn off beach-facing lights and close windows and curtains to keep our beaches dark.

With temperatures averaging over 90 degrees throughout northwest Florida this month, the heat is not only uncomfortable, but it can impact the health of those with high blood pressure or heart disease. Hot weather will cause more blood to flow to the skin in the body’s effort to cool itself. That means the heart must beat faster to circulate more blood per minute, which raises blood pressure. Humidity compounds the problem by making the temperature feel even hotter. People who already have high blood pressure can expe rience unhealthy blood pressure levels that can quickly become an emergency.

“During the summer, the warm weather elevates your body temperature and forces your heart to pump harder and beat faster to reroute the blood to your skin to cool off your body,” said José A. Guitian, M.D., FACC, FACP, FSCAI, of Baptist Heart & Vascular Institute. “During the summer season, your heart may circulate up to four times as much blood per minute as it would in the cooler seasons. If your heart is already compromised or weak from a prior heart attack or other conditions, it may not be able to effectively beat faster and stronger, and this can lead to shortness of breath or even congestive heart failure.”

Nominees’ pro bono service contribu tions may be cumulative. Consideration is not limited to the events of the imme diate past year.

Dr. Guitian said the best way to beat the heat and humidity is to stay indoors, pref erably in an air-conditioned area. “If you do go out, it’s best to go in the early morn ings, or evenings when it’s not so hot,” Dr. Guitian said. “And stay well hydrated with fluid intake, but be sure to check with your doctor or nurse first if you have a history of congestive heart failure.”

SCHOOLS SCRAMBLE TO FILL VACANT SLOTS

Alvarez, who challenged his suspension and firing, “testified that, consistent with his training in natural sciences, he believes it is very impor tant to ask questions and not blindly obey, or go along with, mandates,” Sellers wrote. He also disputed the effectiveness of masks. Sellers wrote that Alvarez testi fied that “standard cloth and surgical masks are ineffective in stopping the spread of viruses because virus parti cles are too small to be stopped by these types of masks. He further testi fied that mask wearing does not reduce the incident of SARS-CoV-2 infection at statistically significant levels.” But she wrote that the policy “was developed by district staff, in consul tation with national, state, and local medical experts, including represen tatives of hospital districts in Broward County, and was consistent with the Centers for Disease Control guidelines available at that time.” Under administrative law, Sellers’ ruling is a recommended order that will go back to the school board for final action.

County Schools — which, with more than 205,000 students, is among the nation’s 10 largest districts — similarly was scrounging to fill vacancies the day before students returned. “Of our 14,382 instructional staff we currently have about 100 classroom vacancies. The district is planning to deploy district personnel to fill these vacancies, if needed. These numbers are fluid due to the fact that some candidates may still be going through the hiring process,” Michael Ollendorff, media relations manager for Orange County schools, told the News Service Tuesday. The district also was trying to hire 100 bus drivers in addition to the 700 drivers already employed by the school system. Ollendorff said new hires will receive a $1,500 sign-on bonus and, “pending union ratification,” pay rates for bus drivers will start at $16.65, depending on Stateexperience.lawmakers since 2020 have earmarked about $2 billion aimed at increasing teacher salaries. Legislators also have tried other approaches, such as a new program designed to tap into the potential of more than 1.5 million veter ans who live in Florida. The “Military Veterans Certification Pathway” allows vets who have not earned a bachelor’s degree but have at least 60 college cred its to obtain a five-year temporary teach ingWhilecertificate.school staffing has been chal lenging for some time, Florida Association of District School Superintendents CEO Bill Montford said the issue has become “much more difficult this year and the problem much more serious” this year. “And there are a multitude of reasons why. You have COVID, and quite frankly the whole atmosphere of being a class room teacher today is just more chal lenging than it was even a few years ago,” Montford said in an interview. District-level personnel around the state have stepped in to help cover teach ing vacancies, Montford said. For example, Montford said he recently spoke to the superintendent of rural Liberty County, who told Montford he is credentialed to drive a school bus in the event that a driver isn’t available. Meanwhile, among what Michalik called “creative options” Bay County is trying, teachers are being offered supplemental pay to teach during plan ning periods. In an era of heightened school secu rity, Montford pointed out that schools have to be more selective about where they seek help. “You know, a generation ago, you could have a parent say, ‘Well I’ll come up and volunteer today to help out.’ Well, there’s so many precautions we have to take now, that makes it a little difficult, as well,” he said.

— An administra tive law judge Monday backed a deci sion by the Broward County School Board to fire a science teacher who refused last year to comply with a mask requirement aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19. Judge Cathy Sellers issued a 44-page ruling that concluded Piper High School teacher John Alvarez “engaged in gross insubordination by continued, intentional failure to obey numerous direct orders, reasonable in nature and given by and with proper authority.”Thedispute was rooted in an emer gency policy that the school board approved at the beginning of the 20202021 school year to require students, employees and other people to wear masks on school campuses. The policy was later approved as a regular policy. Alvarez began clashing with school leaders about the policy in March 2021, according to Sellers’ ruling. As an example, the policy required wear ing masks or maintaining a distance of six feet apart when people were outside on campuses. Alvarez did not wear a mask during a March 2021 fire drill and was accused of not maintain ing a distance of six feet from other people, the ruling said. As the clashes escalated, Alvarez received a written reprimand in May 2021. As teachers returned to campus in August 2021 to prepare for the 2021-2022 school year, Alvarez did not wear a mask to faculty meetings, drawing complaints from other teach ers, Sellers wrote. He subsequently received a fiveday suspension without pay and reported to work in September 2021 without a mask, Sellers wrote. He was escorted off campus, and the school board in December moved forward with termination.

Requiring masks in schools during the pandemic has been a highly contro versial issue, with Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Legislature last year barring mask mandates for students. Sellers wrote that the Broward County school district, effective Nov. 1, 2021, changed its policy to drop a mask requirement in high schools. But because Alvarez’s “conduct which gave rise to the charges in these proceedings occurred before Novem ber 1, 2021, this policy change is inap plicable to his conduct at issue.”

— Florida students began returning to classrooms this week amid a teacher and support-staff shortage, with some counties still advertising posi tions and exploring “creative options” to fillInvacancies.BayCounty, a Panhandle district with roughly 26,600 students, school officials were still looking to hire teach ers on the eve of the first day of classes. “We’re still advertising about 40 instructional vacancies and about 50 support vacancies, so that’s certainly not where we’d like to be,” Sharon Michalik, director of communications for the district, told the News Service of Flor ida on TheTuesday.district made some headway in the weeks leading up to the school year, Michalik said, in part by holding a job fair that led to about 130 new employ ees, including teachers, substitutes and support staff. The district also has tried to take advantage of various resources passed by the state Legislature and approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis, such as a new $15 minimum wage for school support staff. But in Bay County, where Hurricane Michael wreaked havoc nearly four years ago, inflated housing prices have put an additional strain on the district’s recruit ing“Iefforts.think that probably everybody is facing the housing crunch to some extent, but it is particularly acute in Bay County because so much housing was destroyed when Hurricane Michael came through,” MichalikSupply-chainsaid. issues and a rise in the cost of materials caused by the corona virus pandemic also slowed the region’s rebuilding process. Housing and rent prices pose a particularly uphill battle when trying to lure out-of-town candi dates to the North Florida district. “We’ve seen many people accept positions and then have to decline them because, although they felt the salary was fine, they couldn’t find an afford able place to live,” Michalik said. “That’s a big challenge because obviously we’re the school system and we can’t get into the housing business.” Michalik said the district recently held a workshop geared toward helping teach ers and parents take advantage of a new $100 million state program to help people such as teachers, health-care workers and police officers buy homes. Funding for the “Hometown Heroes” housing program, which DeSantis signed off on earlier this year, offers borrowers up to $25,000 on first mortgage loans for down-payment and closing-cost assistance. Bay County school officials also have mulled ideas such as asking apartment complexes to offer discounts for educators. State Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, Jr., who was tapped for the position by DeSantis this spring and began the job in June, said addressing the statewide teacher shortage has been “definitely one of my priorities coming in” to the “Obviously,role. not only the state of Flor ida but the entire nation and really the world, we’re facing a teacher shortage. And it’s only increasing with what we’ve seen in the employment world with COVID,” Diaz said during a panel discus sion hosted by the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations last month. While most school districts started the school year Wednesday, the challenge of scrambling to hire educators and person nel such as bus drivers has lingered since the summer break. A February report by the state Depart ment of Education said that just shy of 4,500 teacher vacancies existed in schools around the state as the previous academic year wound down. A lack of support staff such as bus drivers and food service workers also has presented a challenge. The Flor ida Education Association in January counted more than 9,500 teaching and staff positions advertised on school websites.TheLeon County school district, which has about 32,300 students, also was looking to hire employees a day before school began. The district had 31 teaching positions posted on Tuesday and needed about 15 to 20 more bus drivers to be complete, district spokesman Chris Petley told the News Service. More populous areas also are feeling theOrangecrunch.

“By refusing to comply with Policy 2170 (the mask policy), respondent (Alvarez) potentially endangered not only his own health, but that of his students and his colleagues at Piper,” Sellers wrote, adding that his absence from campus “directly affected the students in his classes.”

Democrats, meanwhile, were outpac ing Republicans in voting by mail, by a margin of 528,808 ballots to 429,245. Jefferson County Supervisor of Elec tions Tyler McNeill said he expects the majority of votes in his county will be cast ahead of election day. “We tradi tionally do really well with early voting,” McNeill said. “Between that and vote-bymail, in the 2020 (election) cycle, nearly 60 percent of our voters voted either via vote-by-mail or early voting. So, we anticipate a pretty heavy turnout.” More than 14.3 million Floridians are eligible to vote in the primary elections, with Republicans holding a registration edge over Democrats of nearly 229,000 voters.

Cassanello and other plaintiffs, including public-school teachers and a student, filed the lawsuit in April after DeSantis signed the law (HB 7), arguing that it violated First Amendment rights and was unconstitutionally vague. They also challenged rules approved last year by the State Board of Education that included banning the use of critical race theory, which is based on the premise that racism is embedded in American society and institutions. Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker in June denied requests by the teacher and student for a preliminary injunction against the law but ordered attorneys to file additional briefs on Cassanello’s request for an injunction. In July, Walker rejected requests by the state to dismiss parts of the lawsuit deal ing with the educational system. Another part of the law places restric

“Specifically, Dr. Cassanello has failed to show that any injury is immi nent as a result of the act because, by Dr. Cassanello’s own admission, he does not believe, and has no intention of endors ing, any of the concepts that the act prohibits,” the state’s attorneys wrote.

— Attorneys for the state are trying to convince a federal judge to reject a University of Central Florida professor’s arguments in a battle about a new state law that restricts the way race-related concepts can be taught in classrooms.Incourtdocuments filed Friday, the state contended that Robert Cassanello, an associate professor of history at the University of Central Florida, does not have legal standing to challenge the law and that his request for a preliminary injunction should be rejected. Among other things, the documents contend Cassanello has not shown that he would be harmed by the controver sial law — which Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act,” or Stop WOKE Act. The law lists a series of race-related concepts and says it would constitute discrimination if students are subjected to instruction that “espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates or compels” them to believe the concepts. “Dr. Cassanello has made clear that the foundation of his teaching meth odology is not to endorse or advocate the arguments and theories in material he assigns, but rather to foster in his students the ‘critical thinking’ skills that will enable them to think for them selves,” the state’s attorneys wrote Friday. “Because the act (the law) prohibits only the endorsement of the prohib ited concepts — and expressly permits discussion of them — even if some read ing material that Dr. Cassanello assigns expressly endorses one of the eight concepts, his act of assigning the mate rial would clearly not violate the act.”

As another example, the law seeks to prohibit instruction that would cause students to “feel guilt, anguish or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.”

Businesses have filed a separate challenge to that part of the law, and Walker heard arguments last week about whether to grant a prelimi nary injunction. He had not ruled as of Monday morning. As an example of how the law addresses the education system, part of it labels instruction discriminatory if students are led to believe that they bear “responsibility for, or should be discrimi nated against or receive adverse treat ment because of, actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.”

--- Tourism in Florida during the first half of 2022 was up 20 percent from the same period last year and was higher than during the first six months of 2019, the last full year of travel before the coronavirus pandemic. Visit Florida, the state’s tourismmarketing agency, posted numbers online late Monday that estimated Florida had 33.717 million visitors from April 1 through June 30, bringing the total for the first six months of this year to 69.34 million.Thesecond-quarter number was up 5.6 percent from the same period in 2021. Tourism in the first quarter was 38.3 percent above the first quarter of 2021. Travel from within the United States accounted for 93 percent of the people visiting Florida during the second quarter and nearly 94 percent of people visiting in the first six months. The 35.628 million visitors during this year’s first quarter was an all-time threemonth record. The dip in tourists during the second quarter was not a surprise. Covering most of the winter, the first quarter historically has been the state’s busiest tourism period. Also, with gas prices over $4 a gallon and inflation at a four-decade high, tourism officials in June expressed concern that hotel room rates, which had been pushed up by demand during the past year, were start ing to hinder travel. “I think we’re starting to see, just over the last couple of weeks or so especially, inflation actually starting to catch up with us in most markets,” Jacob Pewitt Yancey, Visit Florida director of consumer insight and analytics, said during a Visit Florida board meeting June 9. “Now, overall room revenue is still up in every market statewide, because the growth in rates has been more than enough to overcome the decreased level of demand,” Pewitt Yancey said. However, STR, Inc., which provides data to the hotel industry, indicated in an Aug. 5 blog post that numbers nationally have been holding steady into the third quarter.“While not as high as initially expected, summer demand … has been strong, ranking as the fourth highest ever since 2000 behind 2019, 2018 and 2017 in that order,” STR said in the post. “Summer occupancy thus far is 69.5 percent, as compared with 74 percent in 2019. A year ago, occupancy for the period was 68 percent.”Lastyear, as the state was still emerg ing from the early economic damage of the COVID-19 pandemic, 31.935 million tourists visited Florida in the second quarter and 57.703 million visited during the first half of the year. The pandemic slammed into Florida in March 2020, largely shutting down the tourism industry. That year, Florida drew just 9.7 million tourists from the start of April to the end of June and 39.764 million in the first half of the year. In 2019, when Florida hit a record 131.07 million tourists, it drew 32.265 million visitors in the second quarter and 67.76 million in the first half. Florida has outpaced other states in bringing back international travelers during the pandemic, but it still lags 2019 totals.The state had 3.071 million overseas travelers during the first half of 2022, with 1.748 million in the second quar ter. In 2021, Florida totaled 1.5 million overseas travelers during the first half of theAnyear.estimated 1.207 million Canadi ans visited Florida during the first half of 2022, with 594,000 in the second quarter. Only 96,000 Canadians made their way to Florida in the first half of 2021. For the first half of 2019, 2.294 million Canadi ans came to Florida. Florida drew a total of 4.63 million international travelers in 2021, a roughly 45 percent market share of foreign trav elers into the U.S. That easily topped the 22 percent for the next-highest state, New York.Florida in 2019 had just under 13.9 million international tourists. The Biden administration in June lifted a requirement that international travelers test negative for COVID-19 within a day of boarding flights to the United States. The ban was one of the last remaining government mandates designed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

In a June 28 brief supporting Cassanello’s request for a preliminary inunction, his attorneys wrote that the law and related regulations “employ an invidious label to those who engage in protected speech by labelling such expression ‘discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin or sex.’ The reputational harm of being labeled as someone who engages in race discrimi nation is self-evident — particularly for someone like Dr. Cassanello who has spent his entire career researching and teaching about the civil rights move ment.”“In sum, the regulations require universities to adopt policies prohibiting discussion of concepts Dr. Cassanello intends to offer in his classroom instruc tion and conduct investigations if anyone reports that he ‘espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels a student or employee to believe any of the concepts,’” the brief said. But a document filed Friday by attor neys for the state pointed to an Aug. 5 deposition of Cassanello and said, in part, he has “failed to demonstrate that he intends to endorse any of the prohib ited concepts in his classes.”
