Winners & Losers 9/26/24
Winners
American Magic Pensacola and New York Yacht Club's entry in the 2024 America's Cup mounted a valiant comeback against Italy's Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli in the semi-finals of the Louis Vuitton Cup. Down 4-0, American Magic won the next three races and went into the final race day needing two more consecutive victories to win the bracket. Unfortunately, the team's luck ran out. The team faced every challenge courageously and never quit. We are proud our city's name adorned American Magic's sail.
Tanessa Schulte The fifth-grade teacher at Global Learning Academy was selected for the Florida Department of Education 2024-25 High Impact Teacher Corps. Teachers are chosen for this prestigious program based on their student learning results over several years. The High Impact Teacher Corps is a yearlong professional learning opportunity for participating teachers to receive the recognition they deserve and to further equip these teachers with the knowledge, leadership skills and networks necessary to extend their impact beyond their classroom. The intent is also for their work to support other teachers in producing similarly positive student achievement outcomes.
National Merit Scholarship Five Escambia County students were named semifinalists in the 70th annual National Merit Scholarship Program: Emma Thompson of Pensacola Catholic High, Sophie B. Thompson of Booker T. Washington High, and Annabelle A. Apel, Charles B. Benson, and Isabelle R. Jenkins from Pensacola High. These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 6,870 National Merit Scholarships worth nearly $26 million to be offered next spring.
James Gaddis The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) fired the cartographer who leaked to the media Gov. Ron DeSantis' plan to let developers build hotels, golf courses and pickleball courts in state parks. Republicans, Democrats and other Floridians raised enough of a stink to make DeSantis pull back the "half-baked" scheme. Ironically, FDEP fired Gaddis for "conduct unbecoming a public employee" because he protected the environment.
Losers
New College of Florida The state university system's Board of Governors approved a five-year plan that paved the way for New College of Florida to receive more than $200 million to expand student enrollment and continue other major changes. Board member Eric Silagy voted against the plan. He calculated that New College spent nearly $91,000 per student based on a 2023-2024 enrollment of 732 students, while the average for the state university system is about $10,000 per student. New College offers 12 intercollegiate sports and aims to field 24 teams by 2028 and 30 by 2034, with $100 million needed to upgrade athletic facilities. Gov. DeSantis' expensive vanity project needs to end.
Ashley Moody The 1st District of Appeal rejected the Florida Attorney General's request to send to the Florida Supreme Court a case about whether hospital districts and school boards should be able to pursue opioid-epidemic lawsuits after she reached settlements with the pharmaceutical industry. The dispute is about whether Moody had the power to enter settlements that would effectively rule out separate lawsuits by local government agencies. The panel ruled in favor of the Sarasota County Public Hospital District, Lee Memorial Health System, North Broward Hospital District, South Broward Hospital District, Halifax Hospital Medical Center, Miami-Dade County School Board and Putnam County School Board. The local agencies seek to recover costs from drug distributors, manufacturers or pharmacies related to treating patients or educating children affected by the epidemic.
Town of Century Mayor Luis Gomez, Jr. and his posse may be the first to make the yet-to-be-created Inweekly's Loser Hall of Shame. Their latest miscue was placing three city charter amendments on the Nov. 5 ballot without formally voting to do so. Northescambia.com reports that the town council voted to approve the three questions for the ballot in July; the approval came as three ordinances. However, the ordinances require a second reading and a final vote to become official.
