PE NSA PRI D E P E N SACO L A’S N E W L GB T+ PRI DE FE S T I VA L by Dakota Parks Every June, people in cities across the world flood the streets in rainbow regalia, flying flags and holding signs in parades and festivals to celebrate the LGBT+ community. National Pride Month not only brings members of the community together to celebrate, but also marks the catalyst for gay rights in the U.S. and the on-going fight for equality. For the last 10 years, Pensacola’s family-friendly park c e l e b r a t i o n ‘ Pe n s a c o laPRIDE’ has been hosted by the now defunct organization Gay Grassroots of Northwest Florida, which permanently dissolved due to f inancial constraints during the pandemic. To fill the void in the community, the nonprofit organization Strive has partnered with Pensacola Arts Market, located at Cordova Square, 1101 N 12th Avenue, to host its newest event: PensaPride, a caravan and pride festival from 10 am–5 pm on June 26. At the height of the pandemic last summer, pride events worldwide were canceled, and Strive began to brainstorm alternative ways to celebrate Pride Month, while adhering to social distancing and safety protocols. In June 2020, the inaugural Pensacola Pride Caravan was established and more than 29 cars and 50 people showed up at Open Books with decorated cars, flags and even a few dogs dressed up in rainbow gear to drive around downtown Pensacola and celebrate safely. Building on the success of last year’s event, Strive is kicking off the PensaPride 2021 event with another caravan from Open Books, located at 1040 N Guillemard Street, to the

Pensacola Arts Market, where the pride festival will be held. As an added bonus, there will be prizes awarded for the best decorated cars.

The shelter is a joint coalition between the following organizations: Strive, Pensacola Osteopaths, Pridesacola Support Group and Evolve ‘n Thrive. Board members from the Pensacola LGBT Shelter will be tabling at PensaPride to answer questions and pass out flyers that illustrate the need for the shelter. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBT and 29 percent of transgender people report being turned away from shelters entirely, with some being brutalized, harassed and sexually assaulted at the shelters. “There are no homeless shelters in Pensacola that will accept transgender people, and many queer people must

The Pensacola LGBT Shelter is secular and paramount to the wellbeing and safety of LGBT+ people, specif ically transgender people. Strive exists as an emergency housing program for transgender people, and we have had to suspend the housing program during COVID. This shelter is sorely needed and has been needed for years.” The PensaPride event is free and open to the public and will live stream on social media through the Strive Facebook account for those that are unable to attend in-person.

FDOT RE-OPENS PENSACOLA BAY BRIDGE TO FOUR LANES PENSACOLA, Fla. – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will re-open the Pensacola Bay Bridge to four lanes of traffic this morning in phases, re-establishing the safe and efficient connection between the communities of Gulf Breeze and Pensacola. The traffic pattern will revert to the configuration on the bridge prior to when it was damaged by Hurricane Sally on September 18, 2020. Two lanes of westbound traffic are now open to motorists and the remaining two lanes of eastbound traffic are anticipated to be open later this morning. Once completely open, the temporary configuration for the eastbound span provides two lanes of eastbound and two lanes of westbound traffic with no load restrictions, along with a centerlane reserved for emergency vehicles. The speed limit is temporarily set at 35 mph. Repairs to the multiuse path for pedestrians and bicyclists are expected to be complete Fall 2021. To quickly clear travel lanes following vehicle incidents, assist drivers in the event of mechanical breakdowns, and keep the bridge free of debris, FDOT’s Road Ranger Service Patrol will be

STATE POT LICENSE SLATED TO GO TO BLACK FARMER DARA KAM NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE --- A Black farmer with ties to doing business in Florida will be at the head of the line for a long-awaited batch of medical-marijuana licenses in an application process that state health officials will launch soon, senior aides to Gov. Ron DeSantis said. The aides told The News Service of Florida that the Department of Health will kick off the rulemaking process for Black farmer applicants within “weeks to months” and set the stage for another set of licenses that would nearly double the number of medical marijuana operators in the state. “It would be awesome if we could get that application, get that license. We are definitely overdue as it relates to that,” Ocala nursery operator Howard Gunn, who is Black, said in a phone interview. State health officials are poised to begin the application process following a highly anticipated Florida Supreme Court ruling last month that upheld a 2017 law carrying out a 2016 constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana. The court upheld a requirement in the law that medical marijuana operators handle all aspects of the business, including cultivation, processing and distributing --- as opposed to companies being able to focus on individual aspects. Tampa-based Florigrown LLC, which challenged the law, had until June 11 to ask for a rehearing but did not. Part of the 2017 law requires health officials to grant a license to “one applicant that is a recognized class member” in decades-old litigation, known as the “Pigford” cases, which addressed racial discrimination against Black farmers by federal officials. Florida currently has 22 licensed operators, known as “medical marijuana treatment centers,” or “MMTCs,” that have more than 200 retail sites across the state.

But the number of licensed operators dramatically lags behind part of the 2017 law requiring additional licenses as the number of qualified patients --- now nearing 600,000 --- increases. Under the law, Department of Health officials are required to add 15 MMTCs to the 22 existing operators. When the number of patients tips the 600,000 mark as expected in the coming months, the number of new licenses will mushroom to 19. State officials first will focus on granting a single license to a Black farmer who meets certain provisions, including being a Pigford litigant. Many of the Black farmers who made claims in the federal class-action lawsuit have died, and most surviving litigants are now in their 80s and 90s. Pigford applicants will try to enter an established medical marijuana market where licenses are selling for up to $50 million. An initial round of licenses were granted in 2015 to operators seeking to sell low-THC cannabis. They were later allowed to sell full-strength cannabis after state voters approved the 2016 constitutional amendment. “How do you fight that type of situation? Where do we go from there?” Gunn, who said he is affiliated with some Florida Pigford claimants, told the News Service. “There’s no way that we’re going to be able to keep up with that. And it is not going to change. They get further and further ahead. Now that we’re playing catch up, we’re just going to have to be more strategic.” Upcoming rulemaking for the Black farmer application likely will serve as a template for the process to award the larger batch of licenses and almost certainly will result in legal and administrative challenges, as investors from around the world wrangle for the first opportunity in six years to join Florida’s “green rush.” The law doesn’t require the Pigford

TEXAS BACKS FLORIDA IN IMMIGRATION FIGHT NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Texas is backing Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s effort to convince a federal appeals court to block immigration-enforcement decisions by the Biden administration. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office last week filed a brief at the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that seeks to bolster Moody’s arguments that the Biden administration has shirked responsibilities in enforcing immigration laws and threatened public safety. A federal district judge last month rejected the arguments, leading Moody to take the case to the Atlanta-based appeals court. “To protect the American people, Congress mandated that the executive branch detain dangerous criminal aliens, including those convicted of serious drug offenses and crimes of moral turpitude,” lawyers in Paxton’s office wrote in a 36-page friend-ofthe-court brief filed Thursday. “Defendants --- who include the United States, several of its agencies, and several its officers --- have shirked this nondiscretionary duty.” The lawsuit focuses on memos issued Jan. 20 and Feb. 18 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with Moody contending

that the directives violate immigration laws and what is known as the Administrative Procedure Act. But in rejecting a requested preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Charlene Edwards Honeywell on May 18 ruled that the memos were “interim policies” that were not final actions by the federal agencies and, as a result, were not subject to judicial review. She also wrote that the memos prioritize immigrationenforcement decisions, such as focusing on cases involving national security, border security and public safety. “The guidelines are just that; they are not statutes and do not have the status of law as they constitute a prioritization and not a prohibition of enforcement,” Honeywell, a judge in the federal Middle District of Florida, wrote. “The policies do not change anyone’s legal status nor do they prohibit the enforcement of any law or detention of any noncitizen. The prioritization scheme does not necessarily have a direct day-to-day impact on Florida, although certainly an indirect impact can be claimed.” The appeals court is scheduled to hear arguments in September. Paxton’s office filed the brief a day after Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Florida law-enforcement officers would go to Texas and Arizona to help with border control.

applicant to have resided in Florida while participating in the class-action lawsuit. But other portions of the law require applicants to have been “registered to do business in the state” for “five consecutive years before submitting the application.” DeSantis aides’ said Black farmer applicants have to meet all of the other requirements in the law to be eligible for a license, including being registered to conduct business for at least five years in Florida. It’s unclear exactly how the state’s interpretation of the law would affect business partnerships between Pigford class members and investors eager to establish a footprint in Florida. Players in the medical marijuana industry are very “creative,” DeSantis’ senior staffers said. “I think that they will find ways for all applicants, not just Pigford, of bringing in additional key players, whether that be financers, whether that be master growers. I think that you’ll see a variety of different strategies they use to put together a multidisciplinary team in order to put together a comprehensive application,” said one senior staffer, who spoke on condition of not being identified. The interpretation of the law will shrink the number of Pigford litigants who are eligible for a license. The DeSantis administration’s plan also could face pushback from investors who have partnered with Black farmers from other states in the hopes of nailing down a license. Medical marijuana industry insiders are split on the Department of Health’s approach. “The legislative intent is clear that you need an applicant that was a class member of the Pigford litigation that otherwise is an owner of a five-year company … in order to file an application for that license,” attorney Jim McKee, who represents existing medical marijuana operators as well as potential new applicants,

COVID-19 FLEXIBILITIES ELIMINATED FOR MEDICAID NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA STAFF Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration announced Friday that the state will next month step back from flexibilities that were offered to Medicaid providers and beneficiaries during the COVID-19 pandemic, including allowing people to receive behavioral health services without first obtaining prior authorization. The Agency for Health Care Administration issued eight Medicaid notices announcing that the policies designed to make it easier for patients to access health care and for providers to bill for the care were being rescinded. “The state of Florida led the national effort to distribute COVID-19 vaccines and now maintains a sufficient supply of COVID-19 vaccines for every eligible Floridian who desires to be vaccinated. The data demonstrates that Florida is positioned to transition to pre-pandemic activities,” the email alerts began. Effective July 1, the state will once again limit the frequency and duration of Medicaid

told the News Service. Some industry insiders believe the department’s interpretation of the Pigford applicant requirements --- and the 2017 law itself --- is too restrictive and could severely limit the pool of eligible applicants. State health officials, meanwhile, intend to use emergency rulemaking authority to issue the proposed Black farmer regulation to speed up the process. While the Black farmer application rule may be rolled out before the end of the year, potential challenges make the timeline for the award of a license hazy. “I can’t control the challengers. You have a market that’s existed for a long time that will nearly double when we license all those applications. … So that’s an element of challengers that we just have to consider are out there who may not be excited about 19 new licensees. And then you have everyone who doesn’t win, and we can expect those people to probably challenge those awards as well. So, we are prepared to move as quickly as we can in the best way possible, but we’re not naive to the fact that we might get a lot of challenges that slow us down,” a DeSantis aide said. Senate Agriculture Chairman Darryl Rouson, a St. Petersburg Democrat who led the move to earmark a license for a Black farmer, said he intends to follow up with how health officials are dealing with the Black farmer applications and license when legislative committees start meeting again later this year. “I’m glad it’s going to be awarded and opened up, but disappointed in that, again, we start behind other licensees that have been operating for five to six years,” Rouson said in an interview. “As the chair of Agriculture I intend to make one of my priorities in the incoming session the plight of the Black farmer and I intend to have discussions with leadership about us taking the lead in making sure this gets done.”

behavioral health services. And beginning July 15, the state will reinstate prior authorization requirements for behavioral health services. Also, Medicaid “wrap around” payments made to federally qualified health centers will return to a quarterly payment schedule, effective July 1. During the pandemic, the state was allowing the centers to request the money on a monthly basis to assist with cash flow. Medicaid also is reinstating prior authorization requirements for hospital transfers prior to admission, including inter-facilitiy transfers, transfers to long-term care hospitals and transfers to nursing facilities. Effective July 1, Medicaid also is reinstating preadmission screening and resident review requirements for nursing-home placement. The state also will require nursing homes to have a 95 percent occupancy limit to receive Medicaid reimbursement for what are known as “bed hold” days. While that change will take place July 1, Medicaid won’t begin evaluating the 95 percent occupancy rate until October. Also effective July 1, prescribed pediatric extended-care centers will no longer be authorized to deliver services in the home setting.

ALZHEIMER’S EFFORT AIMED AT HELPING PEOPLE LIVE AT HOME CHRISTINE SEXTON NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE --- A monochromatic color scheme might be a chic design choice, but it’s not a good aging-inplace option for people with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia who have issues with depth perception. And a small, black remote control with all the tiny buttons? It isn’t a good choice because it can be confusing and a source of agitation or aggression for someone with dementia. People with Alzheimer’s also lose their balance, which means that their favorite rocking chairs are a no-no. Those are some of interior designer Rosemary Bakker’s “don’ts” highlighted in an Alzheimer’s Foundation of America video of a dementia-friendly apartment that advocates are using to raise awareness about the disease. Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia are growing public health concerns. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 5 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s, including 538,000 people in Florida. With a large senior population, the issue particularly hits home in Florida. Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared Monday in Jacksonville to tout $12 million in additional funding in the new state budget for issues related to Alzheimer’s and dementia. He also issued a proclamation about June being Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month in Florida. The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, through the video, is trying to offer ideas to help as people with Alzheimer’s or dementia seek to continue living at home instead of moving to facilities for care. Bakker, a certified interior designer who also has a master’s degree in gerontology, designed the apartment. She told The News Service of Florida that the key element for a dementia-friendly design is understanding dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and how they impact people. “You have to enter their world,” she said. People with Alzheimer’s lose their depth perception, which means that color contrasts are needed for everything, from the furniture and paint choices --- to types of large and small appliances. Appliances should also have easy on and off operations that someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s can easily understand and operate without getting frustrated or agitated, Bakker said. She added that agitation is a result of people being forced to negotiate their way through what can be unfriendly environments. The apartment features a smart refrigerator that connects to the internet and allows caregivers or family members to check the contents from afar. The apartment also has a stove outfitted with what are called “smartburners,” which allow it to get hot enough to cook but not hot enough to cause a fire if food is left unattended and burns. And because people with Alzheimer’s disease can have difficulty sleeping, the apartment features optimum glare-

free lighting that operates with someone’s natural circadian rhythms. Bakker also recommended a blue light near the bedside to help with sleep. While younger people can get Alzheimer’s disease, age is the biggest risk factor. Slightly more than 5 percent of people between the ages of 65 and 74 have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The numbers of people diagnosed increased to nearly 14 percent in people between 75 and 84 and 35 percent in people ages 85 and older. Sobering statistics like that led Charles J. Fuschillo, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, to hire Bakker to design the apartment. “Safety and quality of life are two of the most important concerns for families, which is why we want them to know about steps they can take to make their homes more dementia-friendly,” Fuschillo said. Because he planned on using it as a teaching tool, Fuschillo had the apartment built in the foundation’s New York City-based Education and Resource Center. Before COVID-19, the center offered public access to classes for care partners, families and people living with Alzheimer’s to connect and socialize. It also hosted educational seminars for health care professionals. While COVID-19 temporarily shut the center to the public, Fuschillo wanted to ensure the apartment could still be seen. The foundation produced a nine-minute video highlighting the designs. Tallahassee resident Janice Powers was surprised by some of the things she learned after watching the video. Powers was forced to move her husband of 53 years, Hollis Powers, to a dementia-specific assisted living facility in July 2019 after it became too difficult for her to keep him at home. A former registered nurse, Powers is more knowledgeable than most about caregiving. But she said she picked up tips from the video that would have made caring for her husband at home easier. “Anything that can sustain them being in the home longer is just wonderful because that’s the goal,” she said. Powers said she was going to make some changes to her husband’s room at the assisted living facility, such as purchasing a clock that has large white lettering against a black background and displays the time, month and year. Powers said she also planned to share information with the facility about dinnerware shown in the apartment video: ergonomically designed mugs with large handles that are easy to hold; raised plates that lessen distance between the food on the plate and a person’s mouth; and weighted silverware to help negate the effects of tremors. Fuschillo said his goal is to expand the foundation’s physical footprint. Construction on the foundation’s second Education and Resource Center is underway in Long Island, N.Y., and he is planning a third center outside the Northeast sometime next year. “And Florida is our next target state,” Fuschillo said.

JUDGE BLOCKS CDC RESTRICTIONS ON CRUISE SHIPS JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA TALLAHASSEE --- Saying the “injury to Florida’s economy grows by the day,” a U.S. district judge Friday issued a preliminary injunction against federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention restrictions that have idled cruise ships in the state during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 124-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday was a major victory for Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney General Ashley Moody, who argue that the CDC overstepped its legal authority as it tried to prevent the spread of the virus. “CDC cites no historical precedent in which the federal government detained a fleet of vessels for more than a year and imposed comprehensive and impossibly detailed ‘technical guidelines’ before again permitting a vessel to sail,” Merryday wrote. “That is, CDC cites no historical precedent for, in effect, closing an entire industry.” Moody, backed by DeSantis, filed the lawsuit in April, with the case focusing on a “conditional sailing order” that the CDC issued last fall. The conditional sailing order included a phased approach to resuming cruising, with ship operators needing to meet a series of requirements. But Merryday cited progress in containing COVID-19 since the conditional sailing order was issued and pointed to cruise ships operating in other parts of the world. He wrote that the conditional sailing order relies on “stale data.” “With the advent of highly effective vaccines, with more than half of adults fully vaccinated, with infection plummeting, with death from COVID-19 asymptotically approaching zero; with the benefit of effective therapeutics for COVID-19; with masks, safe distancing, and sanitation; and with the successful and safe re-opening of business, including airlines, sporting events, and other high capacity venues, COVID-19 no longer threatens the public’s health to the same extent presented at the start of the pandemic or when CDC issued the conditional sailing order,” the Tampabased judge wrote. Merryday, however, put a stay on the preliminary injunction until July 18. At that time, he wrote, “the conditional sailing order and the measures promulgated under the conditional sailing order will persist as only a non-binding ‘consideration,’ ‘recommendation’ or ‘guideline,’ the same tools used by CDC when addressing the practices in other similarly situated industries, such as airlines, railroads, hotels, casinos, sports venues, buses, subways and others.”

June 23, 2021

He gave the CDC until July 2 to propose a “narrower injunction both permitting cruise ships to sail timely and remaining within CDC’s authority as interpreted in this order.” The state would be able to respond to the CDC’s proposal, leading to a hearing. Also, Merryday ordered the two sides to return to mediation, a process that had reached impasse. DeSantis and Moody issued statements praising the decision and criticizing federal “overreach.” “Today’s ruling is a victory for the hard-working Floridians whose livelihoods depend on the cruise industry,” Moody said in her statement. “The federal government does not, nor should it ever, have the authority to single out and lock down an entire industry indefinitely. I am excited to see the cruise industry get sailing again and proud to stand with Gov. Ron DeSantis against illegal federal overreach and draconian lockdown measures.” The ruling came as cruise-ship operators prepare to try to sail from Florida this summer. The federal restrictions also became tangled with decisions this spring by DeSantis and state lawmakers to ban businesses --- including cruise ships --- from requiring what are known as vaccine “passports” that would show people have been vaccinated against COVID-19. The lawsuit contends that the CDC exceeded its legal authority with the restrictions and that the conditional sailing order is “arbitrary and capricious.” Also, it alleges that the CDC has violated the Administrative Procedure Act, which deals with how agencies impose regulations and carry out laws. Department of Justice lawyers, however, countered by saying the federal government has long had authority to regulate ships to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. The cruise industry shut down early in the pandemic after high-profile outbreaks aboard ships. But along with raising the legal arguments, DeSantis and Moody have focused heavily on the economic impact of the industry shutdown. That argument was reflected in the ruling by Merryday, who has served as a federal judge since 1992 after being nominated by former President George Bush. “In sum, Florida establishes a strong likelihood that many or almost all cruise ships will remain unable to sail for the entire summer season,” Merryday wrote. “And each day the cruise industry faces uncertainty about when cruises can resume, Florida not only suffers a concrete economic injury resulting from reduced revenue and increased unemployment spending, but Florida faces an increasingly threatening and imminent prospect that the cruise industry will depart the state. The dislocation of all or most of an entire industry subjects Florida to a protracted or permanent loss of revenue from one of Florida’s largest industries, the benefits of which insinuate themselves into the heart of Florida’s economy.”
