that fall. “It makes me feel like I may have accomplished what I’ve set out to do and that’s increase student achievement and increase support for our teachers and make them feel like they’re valued and are appreciated for what they do every day,” Evensen said in the release. She obtained her master’s degree in elementary reading and literacy from Walden University in 2008. In 2017, she earned a master’s certification in educational leadership from Stetson University. She has been married for 16 years and has four children. Support Employee of the Year Eugenia Moore, the guidance clerk at Matanzas High School, also serves as a testing and ESE secretary. She has worked with Flagler Schools since 2004. “Both my children are products of Flagler Schools,” Moore said in the release. “They’ve both been told they can do whatever they want and they have always had the support of their teachers. I am so proud of Matanzas and to be a part of the Flagler Schools

family.” Moore attended Mitchell College and St. Johns University before moving to Flagler
County in 2002. In addition to working at Matanzas, Moore has two children. Jadakiss, her son, graduated from MHS last year and is a student at Daytona State College. Her daughter, Janay, is a sophomore at MHS. On top of that, Moore has been a Girl Scout Troop leader for the past eight years. “Both Donelle and Eugenia are shining examples of what it means to be a significant adult,” Superintendent James Tager said in the release. “They came to Flagler Schools in different ways, but after getting to know the two of them, it is easy to see why they were named our Teacher and Support Employee of the Year. They will represent Flagler Schools well this upcoming year.”

Interim City Manager Beau Falgout
Interim Beau Falgout is favorite to be the next city manager The City Council short-listed 16 candidates. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
When Palm Coast City Council members met in a special meeting Jan. 22 to evaluate potential candidates for the city’s vacant city manager position, only one candidate got highest marks from all four of them: interim City Manager Beau Falgout, who’s been in the interim role since the council fired former city manager Jim Landon in September. Falgout was previously assistant city manager under Landon. City Council member Jack Howell was absent from the meeting and did not submit his candidate evaluation form, on which council member rated potential candidates from 1 to 3, with 1 being highest — the 1’s meaning they definitely wanted to see more information, and 3 being lowest. Falgout was one of a total of 54 applicants the council discussed Jan. 22. Doug Thomas, of Strategic Government Resources, the firm the City Council hired to help conduct the search, presented a summary of the candidates’ applications during the meeting. Some initial candidates had dropped out of the application process, and Thomas winnowed the list down further by cutting a few that he believed wouldn’t meet the city’s needs. He presented the candidates in three lists: a list of “conventional” candidates who had experience in a similar role or in a department head role in other municipalities, a list of “unconventional” candidates whose backgrounds were more in the private sector or
more in the military, and a third list, consisting of one: the internal candidate, Falgout. Of the total, the City Council short-listed 16: Falgout, Brent Moran, Charles Brown, Claire Collins, David Strahl, Donald Kewley, Greg Young, Jim Drumm, Jeff Eder, Jeff Oris, Ken Kelly, Matt Morton, Mike McNees, Ricardo Mendez, Robin Hayes and Sean Ratican. Klufas was the only one to assign a score of 1 to Brown and Kewley, but the council decided to list them anyway. Klufas said interested in Kewly because of his background in fiber. “I just want to explore the avenues that possibly someone who has specific expertise in something as critical, in my opinion, to our city,” Klufas said. Aside from Falgout, were two other candidates from within the county: Jim Manfre, the former Flagler County sheriff and current attorney; and Douglas Bentley, a former Army officer and former deputy district engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Manfre got a score of 2 from Councilman Eddie Branquinho, but otherwise, both local candidates got 3’s from all of the council members. Bentley — who lives in the Hammock, not in Palm Coast — had asked Mayor Milissa Holland if the requirement that manager reside within Palm Coast within six months of hiring could be waived. That was a deal-breaker for her. “The residency thing was very clear to me; I don’t know how we can overcome that,” she said. “That, to me, is a non-starter.” She added that the residency
requirement is part of the city’s code of ordinances. Bentley is also applying for the position of interim county manager of Flagler County. Manfre, Holland said, could be a poor choice for political reasons: He was ousted from his position as sheriff by current sheriff Rick Staly in the last election for that seat. Staly had been his secondin-command. “We all are very aware of the fact that he does not have a very good working relationship with our current sheriff, and that’s a pretty serious set of conversations,” Holland said. “So when you made the decision to short-list him,” she asked Thomas, “what it was based on?” “Those are political decisions that you as a board make,” Thomas said. “I’m looking at his skill set, solely, whether or not he has the skills to potentially be in this role, and based on running a sheriff’s department and that background, I think he does. You make the decision about whether there’s dynamics or issues beyond that that ultimately would be a factor.” The next step in the process will come in the form of more intensive checks about the applicants’ histories: Thomas will research the short-listed candidates in the media going back five years, and will perform a background check on each. They’ll have to complete a questionnaire and a recorded interview, and Thomas will put together packets for the council to review on each one. After some discussion, the council decided to hold one-onone interviews with the candidates, plus a public meet-andgreet session.
Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly announced that Cmdr. David Williams of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has been assigned as the new liaison between the Sheriff’s Office and the city of Palm Coast, according to a press release. The position is paid for by the city of Palm Coast as part of its annual contract for police services. “Cmdr. Williams is a staple of this community, and I know that he will do a wonderful job in representing our agency and working with the Palm Coast City Council and city manager to ensure public safety,” Staly said in the release. “Cmdr. Williams has the personality and demeanor necessary for the job, and I believe he will be the perfect fit for this position.” “We’re looking forward to Cmdr. Williams’ service as the Palm Coast liaison for the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office,” Mayor Milissa Holland said in the release. “Cmdr. Williams already knows our community inside and out. He’s handled the preparations for many special events here and has attended many City Council meetings, so I know this will be a seamless transition. We look forward to continuing our excellent partnership with Sheriff Rick Staly and his agency to provide law enforcement services to the residents and visitors of Palm Coast.” Williams previously served as the sergeant of the FCSO Motor Unit before being promoted to commander over the Community Outreach and Crime Prevention Unit in 2018. This assignment for Williams was prompted by the retirement of the previous city liaison from the Sheriff’s Office, Cmdr. Mark Carman, who is retiring after 30 years as a law enforcement officer to accept the chief of police position for the city of Crescent Lake in Putnam County. “It is certainly a loss to our agency and the Palm Coast community,” Staly said in the release. “We all wish him the very best and know that while he is going to Crescent City he will always be a part of Flagler County.” “Cmdr. Mark Carman was with the city since the beginning,” said Holland in the release. “He did an outstanding job for our community, and we’re going to miss him terribly. We thank him for his service to Palm Coast and wish him the best in Crescent City.”

lagler County Sheriff Rick Staly hosted the 2018 fourth-quarter awards ceremony at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center in Bunnell on Jan. 18, recognizing employees’ exceptional performance. “The employees at this agency work tirelessly every day for the people of Flagler County,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in an FCSO news release. “This is my opportunity to recognize and thank the hard working men and women of the Sheriff’s Office for their outstanding service. I congratulate all of our recipients and thank them for their dedication and service to the community.”
CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION – Deputies Kyle Gaddie and Arthur Horler
Ormond Beach police contacted the FCSO Nov. 26 about a bank robbery that had just occurred and that involved a serial bank robber. Gaddie and Horler responded to Interstate 95, found the suspect’s vehicle and performed a traffic stop. They identified the bank suspected robber, who arrested for multiple outstanding robbery warrants. The suspect later confessed to robbing several banks in surrounding jurisdictions. CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION – School Resource Deputies Unit
On March 9, 2018, Gov. Rick Scott signed a new law called the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, specifying requirements for school security. The FCSO has 12 full-time school resource deputies who protect 10 schools with more than 13,000 students. The unit helped plan and execute lock down drills and familiarizes their campus staff with ideas and proposals to increase campus safety, with the assistance of the FCSO’s Homeland Security Section. SRDs have handled calls including fights, narcotics, thefts, and have intercepted and handled campus threats. SRD’s also provide mentoring and leadership, and promote positive interaction with youth in summer camps.
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION – Communications Supervisor Genice Caccavale
Caccavale was appointed the FCSO’s training and relief supervisor in January 2018, and was tasked with creating an inhouse training program for the department. During her few first months, she put in extra hours covering shifts for people who were out sick, and also offered to help on the floor whenever needed. Despite her added responsibilities, she completed the training program before the end of 2018. It has let the FCSO provide more effective training for new employees, new hires and communications training officers, and will save the agency money that would have otherwise been spent sending the employees to an outside training school.

The detention facility has become an accredited facility for the first time in the FCSO’s 100-year history, as a result of the efforts of the Court and Detention Services Division. The accreditation team went above and beyond during the accreditation process to accomplish this achievement, according to the news release. On Oct.15, St. Johns County notified the FCSO of a suicidal male driving south on I-95. Deputy Bender and Deputy Capela located the car and tried to stop it, but the car would not pull over.

Rosemary Moyer passed away January 12, 2019, at 5:00am at the home of her son Donald Moyer. Rosemary resided at Los Palmas Senior Living in Palm Coast, Florida. She was born on August 22, 1927 in Syracuse, NY, where she spent her entire life before relocating to Florida in 2014 to be near her son. She was preceded in death by husband Donald G. Moyer, after sixty years of marriage. She is survived by sister, Mary Beth Vassenelli of Syracuse, NY, two sons, John R. Moyer (wife Cheryl) of Farmington NM, and Donald G. Moyer of Palm Coast, FL. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Kevin of Denver, CO, Christopher (wife Shelly) of Denver, CO, Mary Stokes (husband Phill) of Farmington, NM, and Patrick of Farmington, NM, also one great granddaughter Elise Moyer of Denver, CO, and several nieces and nephews. It is to be noted that Rosemary had a special place in her heart for niece Kathy Oliver of Cicero, NY. In addition to being predeceased by her husband, Donald G. Moyer, Rosemary is predeceased by her parents, Dumond and Genevieve Baker, sister Peggy Rinella, and brother Robert Baker. In her youth, Rosemary was an accomplished equestrian, she took after her father who was a member of the U.S. Horse Cavalry in WWI. She loved traveling and went on many hunting and fishing trips with her husband, not to hunt and fish but to stay back and play games and have good conversation! Her other passion was skiing, of which the family took many adventurous trips. Rosemary was quite loquacious and everyone loved talking to her. Her recent passions were bingo and poker, she seemingly always had a pouch of nickels, dimes, and quarters from her winnings. She will always have a special place in our hearts and will be sorely missed and strongly remembered by her friends and family!

Why local newspapers matter
LET T ERS
PalmCoastObserver.com
THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2019
Dear Editor: There is a dangerous development occurring before our very eyes: the loss of local newspapers. The number of local newspapers is shrinking at an alarming rate, leading one media analyst to write about the resulting injurious consequences. The seriousness of this development and cause for alarm is echoed in the assessment by the media scholar Dan Kennedy, at Northeastern University, stating, “Without quality local news, it’s hard for people to participate in their communities in a meaningful way — or even to understand why they should.” The following are data corroborating these concerns: “900 communities nationally have lost news coverage since 2004,” according to the Center of Innovation and Sustainability in Local Media. This development is attended by the reality that online news-only channels replacing local newspapers over the past decade tend to serve affluent communities, not poor ones. Social media are replete with fake or unreliable news. Indeed, it is not unwarranted to assert that much of the hostile discourse in the public sphere today is caused by too much reliance on unvetted social media parading as news, amounting to little more than gossip and/or propaganda. Whether at the national or local level, the role of newspapers is essential to the functioning of any participatory democracy. Remember the adage, “all politics is local.” Worth recalling, too, are Thomas Jefferson’s words, commenting that if he had to choose between “a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate to prefer the latter.” In the larger context of the role of newspapers and the contemporary threat to their sur-
vival, we should all remember that their most important function is to “act as a watchdog on government.” This fact underlies Professor Dan Kennedy’s warning: “As local newspapers shrink or disappear, opportunities increase for politicians and public employees to reach into the cookie jar and help themselves.” As a result, Kennedy writes, “the underpinnings of democracy rot away.” In sum, local newspapers are too essential to the political, cultural and social wellbeing of our communities and our nation to be taken for granted. They deserve our nurture and ardent support. HOWARD A. MYRICK, PH.D. Palm Coast/Philadelphia
Costs a lot to get rid of a city manager Dear Editor: What with the brouhaha we have had concerning the firing of our city manager, I got to thinking maybe we would be better off if we returned to the old way of doing things. The job didn’t exist before 1913 and spread slowly; by 1930 only 200 American cities used a city manager, and they were responsible for the day-to-day administrative operations of the municipality; this made the mayor’s job become part time, consisting of ribbon cutting, turning over shovels full of dirt at future construction sites, wasting money renovating buildings and parks and taking care of nepotism (either pro or anti). The mayors we have had in Palm Coast couldn’t even do this part-time job, so we would be up the creek without a paddle if they had to do the whole job like the old time mayors, or maybe we could be more selective when voting for mayors and elect someone who is capable instead of someone who is merely popular but unfit or unqualified; this also applies to the City Council.

READERS REACT In a Q+A published in the Jan. 18 edition, County Commissioner Charlie Ericksen discussed a comment that he made, which implied those who opposed the rehiring of Sally Sherman were motivated by sexism and/or racism. Here is one response on www.palmcoastobserver.com: “No, Charlie, people are not opposed to Sally Sherman because of racism or sexism. People are opposed to Sally Sherman because of the ploy she willfully participated in using a retirement/consultant/rehire loophole to greatly increase her salary personally benefit while taking tax payer dollars. That says a great deal about the type of Administrator she would be if hired. Yes, racism and sexism do exist. Especially in Flagler County. I don’t disagree. But that’s not the opposition to this individual and you going that angle says you are ok with what she and Coffey did hiding it purposefully from public view until it was exposed by FlaglerLive, and that’s even more concerning.” — Brad West In response to a letter calling for a moratorium on duplexes, here is a response on www.palmcoastobserver.com: “We own a duplex with our friends. We live in one side and they live in the other. We have been here for almost 15 years. There are very nice single-family homes around us as well as other duplexe,s and I have to say in all the time we have lived there the houses and duplexes have been kept up. There are a couple of single homes up the street that should be cleaned up, and they are not rentals.” — Frank Cappiello
ity more than youth or gender; looking into someone’s background may require some effort, but it may pay dividends. We could elect someone that is more concerned with cutting spending than with building more lighted baseball fields or getting top-of-the-line highspeed Internet availability that benefits very few if anyone! One last point: We can always elect a new mayor, but it seems to cost a lot of money to get rid of a city manager. DOUGLAS R. GLOVER Palm Coast
Why does Captain’s have to be on land owned by the county? Dear Editor: In his note to Ms. Joy Ellis, Captain’s BBQ co-owner Mr. Mike Goodman remarks, “Suggesting an alternative location that is not ready for develop-
ment and is not controlled by the county or Captain’s is not helpful or productive.” Why? Why does the location of a privately owned business have to be controlled by the county? Does that not give an unfair advantage to one business over another? The other fallacy in his comment is that there are no alternative locations that are ready for development. A simple drive down A1A offers plenty of choices. The fact is that the citizens of the area and the community at large agree that they do not want a larger building and a larger parking lot on the site. No one has really addressed the issue of a liquor license in a park where liquor is prohibited and what liability that creates for the county, i.e., taxpayers.

Fugitive arrested after hiding in an armoire For the second time in a week, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have caught a fugitive hiding inside furniture in their home. Deputies were responding to the home of 28-year-old Nichole Headley on Front Street in Palm Coast on Jan. 15 after she fled a traffic stop the previous night, according to an FCSO news release. A man answered the door and said Headley was upstairs in her bedroom, and gave deputies permission to search. Deputies opened an armoire in the bedroom, and Headley leapt out and ran. She pulled down a boxspring, which had been propped against a wall, to try to slow the deputy following her, according to a charging affidavit. But a deputy was able to take her to the ground and handcuff her. Headley has been arrested eight times since 2015, when she was arrested on charges of driving with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance. “We do not like to play games, but if a wanted person wants to play games like ‘hide-and-seek’ they should know that we always play to win,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. “She ran from our deputies and then thought she could outsmart them by hiding. However, what she did not consider is that in Flagler we will not stop until we find you!” Headley was taken to the county jail on charges of driving with a suspended license (habitual), fleeing or eluding law
enforcement, and resisting arrest without violence, according to the news release. In a similar incident on Jan. 13, deputies caught another fugitive, 40-year-old Jesse Pack, hiding in a wooden dresser in his home on County Road 200 in Bunnell.

Woman charged with DUI, went 95 in 45 mph zone Law enforcement arrested and charged 28-year-old Bunnell resident Jasmin Amada Sanchez with a DUI in Flagler Beach on the night of Thursday, Jan. 17, according to a case report by the Flagler Beach Police Department. Officers saw a woman in a black 2017 Nissan Sentra driving 95 mph in a 45 mph zone on eastbound Moody Boulevard. The Sentra continued over the Flagler Beach bridge. Police stopped the car, and Sanchez slurred her words when speaking to the officers. When asked about what was in the silver cup in her vehicle’s cup holder, she said, “I don’t know. Probably Jack and Coke.” She was taken to the Flagler County Jail.

Fruehan was charged four times in the past, but the charges were always dropped. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

serving any medical purpose during office visits in 2016 and 2017. The 74-year-old reported that in March 2016, Fruehan pulled her into a back room in the building after her office visit, unbuttoned her shirt, and groped her breasts, according to an FCSO charging affidavit. When she didn’t set another appointment, he called her twice, in one case at midnight. The 77-year-old reported that in March 2017, she went to Fruehan for a checkup and he placed a stethoscope directly on her nipple, held it there, and asked her her opinion of a particular sex act. She responded, “I have no opinion,” and left the practice. He then called her four times in the following days — three times in one night, between 8:37 p.m. and 9:17 p.m. — and left messages on her answering machine. She gave law enforcement a disk containment the messages after reading reports that another woman had accused Fruehan of sexual assault, according to the affidavit.
Quick and painless. The couple that owns this business are both helpful and friendly, and you get a great deal on top of it. Bought two beds today for my kids and I will definitely be back to get myself one of those cooling beds as soon as I can. I highly recommend giving them a try, their reviews should tell you all you need to know. KEITH W.
Deputies charge suspect in Kay Jewelry robbery Deputies have charged a Savannah, Georgia, man in connection with the Aug. 11, 2018, robbery of the Kay Jewelers in Town Center. Deputies believe 25-year-old Tyrone Lamar Walker was one half of the duo that entered the store during working hours and stole $21,794 in jewelry, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release. He was incarcerated in Georgia when Flagler detectives interviewed him after a Jewelers Security Alliance investigator noticed that a Facebook photo of him showed that he had a spider tattoo on his neck, matching one of the store clerk’s descriptions of one of the robbers. The incident occurred when the two robbers entered the store at about 7:20 p.m. One of the robbers struggled with an employees to try to grab the keys to the display case. When he couldn’t, he pulled a sledgehammer out of his pocket and hit the center display case until it broke, grabbed gold necklaces and a bracelet and ran out, dropping the hammer. He cut himself reaching into the display case, leaving blood behind. Walker was swabbed for DNA in jail, and his DNA matched the samples taken at the crime scene, according to the charging affidavit. When questioned by deputies, Walker initially denied involvement, but later “stated that he

committed the crime because he is ‘f---ed up out here in life,’” according to a charging affidavit. He said he’d already gotten rid of the jewelry, and refused to say who his accomplice was.
With voting rights restored, felons begin registering About two dozen felons have attended the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Office to register to vote after the passage of Amendment 4, which restored felons’ voting rights. That’s likely a fraction of the full number of those who’ve registered since the amendment’s effective date of Jan. 8, Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart said. “Within the first week after Amendment 4 was effective, we have ... I don’t think more than 25 people who came in the office and made that announcement,” she said. “But otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to know.” The amendment passed with 64.55% of the vote and automatically restores the voting rights of Florida felons who have completed all the terms of the sentences. It does not apply to people convicted of murder or sexual offenses.
Burglars break into tax collector’s office Burglars broke into the Flagler County Tax Collector’s branch office at 7 Old Kings Road in Palm Coast at about 3 a.m. Saturday,
Jan. 19, shattering the glass front door and stealing electronics.

Deputies help catch alleged car thief Flagler County dispatch was notified of a stolen vehicle heading south on State Road A1A in St. Johns County on Friday, Jan. 18, and deputies were able to stop the driver, according to a charging affidavit released by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Joyce Lorraine Blackwell, 48, of Jacksonville, had reportedly failed to return a rented gray 2018 Toyota RAV4. Flagler deputies caught up to her at a Shell gas station at 320 Palm Coast Parkway NE. She said she’d failed to return it in time but had called to extend the rental contract. Advantage Car Rental Manager Shayna Moorman told deputies the vehicle was initially rented on Nov. 30 and was due to be returned on Dec. 3. The business attempted to reach Blackwell multiple times to no response. Advantage attempted to charge late fees but the credit card was declined. Advantage reported the vehicle stolen on Jan. 15. Blackwell was taken to the county Jail and charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle.

Former doctor Florence Fruehan arrested over groping charges
Florence Fruehan, 59 and formerly a doctor at Palm Coast Urgent Care, was arrested Jan. 16 after a months-long Flagler County Sheriff’s Office investigation into reports from multiple patients who said he’d touched them inappropriately during office visits. Fruehan had already surrendered his medical license through an agreement with the Florida Department of Health after a patient reported last year that he’d groped her. He’s been charged four times in criminal cases since 1994, each time seeing the charges dropped — most recently because instances of groping reported by local women were beyond the statute of limitations. Fruehan isn’t being charged with a sex crime this time: He’s being charged with two counts of “battery on a person 65 years of age or older,” a felony. “The incidents, while sexual in nature, did not meet the statutory requirements for a sex crime,” an FCSO news release stated. Deputies who arrested Fruehan Jan. 16 were acting on orders issued by a circuit judge, related to reports from two victims, one 77 and the other 74, who reported that Fruehan had touched them without their consent and without

parade for a king
On Dr. ML King Jr. Ave., a woman walks with a sign that reads “His Dream, My Mission.”
The annual Martin Luther King Jr. Parade was held on Saturday, Jan. 19. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR
She added that the inspirational words and selfless actions of MLK will not be forgotten. “It means a lot, especially to the community,” said Bonita Robinson, a former Bunnell city commissioner. “Our focus is just bringing the community together, from municipalities to the county fire truck.” The Lil City Dazzlers Dance Team was one of the parade groups. The Flagler County group started meeting at the Carver Center about four months ago and are looking to get more youth girls involved. The team’s founder, LaTisha Williams, started the group “to keep the girls doing something and off the streets. We try to keep them active,” she said. Lil City Dazzlers are looking for sponsors and volunteers to help
with events and choreography. Flagler County girls ages 5-17 are welcome to join. The group meets 4-6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Carver Center gym, 201 E. Drain St. “They’re pretty excited,” Williams said. “They never want to leave.”

With a theme of “Unity in the Community,” the annual Martin Luther King Jr. parade featured locals that marched from the G.W. Carver Center, down Dr. ML King Jr. Ave., to U.S. 1, then State Road 100 and back, on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 19. With Martin Luther King Jr. Day being Monday, Jan. 21, marchers held up signs depicting sayings like, “his dream, my mission,” “let freedom ring,” and “the dream is still alive.” The Flagler Palm Coast High School Air Force JROTC led the parade, with Bunnell Mayor Catherine Robinson and the grand marshal, Rev. Frank Giddens, close behind. “It’s important to remember our past,” Mayor Robinson said.

Flagler man goes to trial on charges of molesting young girls their family in Palm Coast. Binkley had been a friend of the family before the family invited him in after he began having health and financial problems. “[The victims’ family] offered him a place to stay, because he really didn’t have a place to go,” Clark said. He lived first in a trailer in the family’s backyard. But it didn’t have water or electricity, and when winter approached, the family invited him to stay in a bedroom in the house.
JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Two young girls, ages 8 and 10, told a Flagler County jury of four men and four women Jan. 23 that a man who’d been living with their family had molested them. Both girls, replying on the witness stand to Assistant State Attorney Melissa Clark’s questioning mostly with brief answers, confirmed that Thomas Binkley, 62, had touched their genitals over their clothing when he lived with

In exchange, he did chores. He kept doughnuts in his room, and would give them to the kids. He also had a TV in his room, and sometimes the kids would come in to watch. “Those kids adored the man they knew as ‘Mr. Tommy,’” Clark said. “They spent a lot of time with him.” Initially, when the kids went into his room, the door remained open, Clark said. But, “At some point, that bedroom door was closed,” Clark said. “At first, [the children’s mother] didn’t question it; she didn’t think she needed to.” But on multiple occasions, the

touching was unintentional. Attorney William Bookhammer, a public defender, told the jury to listen closely when they’re played a recording of Binkley’s alleged confession. “He invites [the detectives] in, you can hear the TV on in he background, it’s very conversional,” Bookhammer said. “Listen to this interview very closely, not just the statement, but his demeanor … He’s breaking down, he’s crying, talking about how much he loved these children. ... He said maybe this was two times with each girl, and he said it was accidental.” The evidence will show, Bookhammer said, “that he did not do these acts for sexual gratification, which is what he’s accused of.” Binkley came to the FCSO’s attention on July 8, 2016, when the agency received a report that the young girls, then ages 6 and 8, had been sexually molested by him three days before. The victims’ great grandmother was the first one to realize something was wrong: She saw the younger girl behave in a sexual manner, and when the great grandmother asked her where she’d learned that, the girl said from Binkley. An FCSO detective got more information from the children’s mother, and, on July 21, the First Coast Child Protection Team interviewed the victims. Both said that Binkley had rubbed their genitals with his hands over their clothing when they were lying in front of him while watching television, and that he’d done so on multiple occasions. On Jan. 16, 2017, two detectives interviewed Binkley at his home on Forest Park Street in Bunnell. They asked him about the nature of his role in the household. He said he got the children ready for school, fed them and made sure that they showered. Binkley told a detective that the victims would come into his bedroom and lie down on his bed while they all watched movies together as a family. At first, he denied the allegations and said he had no idea why he was being accused. “As the conversation went on, Thomas confessed to rubbing the vagina of both victims over their clothing with his hand,” a detective wrote in the charging affidavit. “He stated that this took place twice with each victim. He claimed it was accidental and once he began doing it he would stop because he knew it was wrong.”

It’s the first time any Matanzas sports team won districts four years was the Pirates’ fourth consecutive district championship. It was also the first time in school history that any sports team has won districts four years in a row. “It’s been a trend for us to come out and beat Pedro — always,” Welker said. “They want to beat us so badly. We put it all in and work hard every day.” The Pirates had five individual champions: First-time lifter Jaden Marsala, competing in the 101-pound weight class, bench pressed 95 pounds and cleanand-jerked 80 pounds; Welker, a staple for the Pirates in the 110 class, benched 125 and cleanand-jerked 110; Tayler Phillips benched and clean-and-jerked

And of the 20 girls who lifted, 17 of them scored in the top six in each weight class, qualifying them for regionals. “It shows that the hard work and dedication that they’ve put in — what they want, they can get,” Pirates coach Sara Novak said. “Obviously, what we’re doing physically and mentally in the weight room is working. And the most important thing to me is that wherever they are they can be confident and own what they can do.” However, Novak said she believes the main ingredient to the team’s success over the past four years is due to the relationships she has formed with each athlete. “Everyone one of these girls knows that I love them and would do anything for them, and I really believe that feeling is mutual,” she said. “When girls feel good about themselves and have 100% support behind them, their limits are endless and that was proven tonight.”

SPORTS EDITOR
For the first 52 minutes of Matanzas and Flagler Palm Coast’s boys soccer game on the night of Friday, Jan. 19, both teams battled — with neither team striking a blow. The Bulldogs finally got an opportunity at the 28-minute mark of the second half. After a throw-in by the Bulldogs, a Matanzas player touched the ball with his hand inside the Pirates’ own box. The Bulldogs were awarded a penalty kick as a result. FPC coach Troy Stone called up
Bulldogs held on for the first win over their rival since Dec. 4, 2012. “It’s not really a rivalry if one team keeps winning year in and year out,” Stone said. “We kind of had to hold on for our dear lives. This team has had to battle all year long. The results haven’t always gone our way, but I can’t ever fault their effort — especially from our senior class.” The Bulldogs prepared for Friday night’s game by watching video clips of past losses to the Pirates. They watched clips of four games where the Pirates scored in the last 3 minutes to win. “It really motivated us to get out here and do our jobs,” Patin said. The player who held the win together, though — when the
Pirates would penetrate through FPC’s back line and attempt a potentially equalizing shot — was Bulldogs keeper Stephen Usina. The sophomore stopped several would-be goals in the game’s closing minutes. “It’s just insane how good he is. I take zero credit for his skills. He came to me like that,” Stone joked. “He makes hard saves look relatively easy because of his positioning, and he goes out and makes crazy good saves, too.” In addition, Pirates head coach Rich Weber was unhappy with the loss but thinks his team will be ready come playoff time. “This will help us grow,” he said. “FPC played a good game. Got to give them credit.”

Patin had to calm his mind before the kick. “I had to get them out of my head,” he said. “I just had to focus on the ball.” Patin always favors the right side of the goal on penalty kicks. However, an odd feeling crept over him as he stared down the Pirates’ standout goal keeper, Brandt Herron. Patin slammed the ball toward the upper left side of the net. Herron dove right.

Pirates make history by qualifying for state duals championship Matanzas beat Middleburg and Creekside to win the region. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR
Matanzas’ boys wrestling team made history on Thursday, Jan. 17, after the Pirates became the first Flagler County wrestling team to qualify for the Florida High School Dual Wrestling State Championship. The Pirates pummeled Middleburg 78-6 in the quarterfinal round and faced District 4 rival Creekside in the regional’s final match at Matanzas High School. The two teams had just met five
days earlier at Nease High School, with the Pirates winning by 8 points. The Pirates, who missed out on qualifying for states by a point last season, hammered the Knights 44-27 to win the regional tournament. “Last year hurt us a lot,” Matanzas’ 14-year head coach John White said. “We wanted to be a lot more decisive this year. They wanted to make sure there was no chance of us missing out again.” Thursday’s win showed the Pirates’ growth over the past several seasons. Matanzas’ Lawrence Russo, who went 2-0 at regionals, said there were about a dozen kids on the team his freshman year. Now
in his senior year, there are over 30 kids on the team. “It’s awesome,” said Russo, who wrestles in the 132-pound class. “This program is going to go on for years and years.” Fellow senior and heavy weight grappler Cecil Bermudez is only in his second year with the team. Although if he had high school to do over again, he would have joined the team much sooner. He said the difference in this year’s team has been their belief in themselves. “We have a lot more belief and a lot more heart,” he said. “With out that, you don’t really have a wrestling team.” With state powerhouse Flagler Palm Coast to contend with,

WHAT IS DUALS WRESTLING? The Florida High School Athletic Association added the duals-format state tournament, played in January, before the 2017-18 season. This is separate from the traditional individual-styled bracket in March that also awards a state-champion team. However, instead of relying on a handful of excellent wrestlers to advance to the state final individually, all 14 weight classes — from 106 to heavy weight — get to compete until the team either wins it all or is eliminated. You’re also allowed to bump wrestlers up a weight class.
John White
White said being the first Flagler team to accomplish such a feat was an added bonus. “It’s nice for us to finally have something over them,” he said. “Hopefully we continue this tradition.” The state duals tournament is on Jan. 25-26, at Osceola High School in Kissimmee.
Water Problems? Is my water softener raising my blood pressure?
Polly Swindull
Typically, softened water contains about 12.5 mg of sodium per 8 oz glass of water. If this water were graded according to the scale the FDA uses for food, this would be considered very low sodium and considered a non-risk to high blood pressure. To put it in perspective, one slice of bread can contain around 100-172 mg of sodium! The ideal limit of sodium intake is no more 1,500 mg per day. Your water softener will not be a huge contributing factor to your daily sodium limit.

PALM COAST OBSERVER

From 1996 to 1999, Fries starred as a wrestler at FPC under the tough but encouraging direction of Coach Steve DeAugustino. After winning second place at the state competition his first two years, he earned two back-toback state championships to close out his junior and senior years. Fries went back to school at Daytona State College and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Exceptional Student Education in 2016. When he started teaching special education at Seabreeze, he didn’t think he would be coaching at all. When Seabreeze Principal Rawlings asked him to be the girls flag football head coach, Fries said he was a nervous. “I had never coached girls before, never was the head coach of anything before and never really coached flag football,” he said. “But it really turned out to be one of my favorite things to do.” His relationships with the JV and varsity teams at Seabreeze are simple. During practice, laughs are thrown into the mix, but when game time comes, it’s all business. “I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them,” Fries said. “If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake. But they understand I’m doing it out of love.” In his classroom, a handwritten note on an index card is pinned up on his bulletin board. It reads “Thanks for the tough love” and is complete with a drawing of a flexing emoji arm muscle and a heart. Fries’ star quarterback, Bailey McQuarrie, who wrote the note, stuns him with her talent, even being only a sophomore. “I’ve loved having him as a coach for two years,” McQuarrie said. “He’s been one of the
best coaches I’ve had since he’s really tough on us. He doesn’t let anything just slide. He gets on us about everything, which makes our playing a lot better.” The team’s flag football game on Tuesday, March 20, was cancelled due to impending inclement weather, but while Fries sat in his classroom before the school day was over, he said he bet at least two of his players — McQuarrie and Grace Remey — would be out on the field, practicing for themselves during seventh period. Remey postponed graduation to play another year of flag football with the Sandcrabs. Sure enough, the pair and sophomore Kara Haas were spotted on the field throwing a football around until the thunder rang too loud and pushed them inside. “He makes it fun, but we’re still learning everything that we need to learn,” McQuarrie said about practices. “And then at game time, there’s no laughing on the sidelines or anything. We’re serious.” Fries said the Varsity Sandcrabs have set high standards this year, scoring 73 points total for the two regular season games so far, while also keeping the opposing teams from scoring any points. “I love coaching girls,” he said. “They learn so quick. They push themselves so hard. They kind of adapt to my personality and want to go out there and succeed in everything that we do.” Last season, the Sandcrabs ended 8-2. While Fries is optimistic about this season, he’s keeping his girls level-headed — with their game faces at the ready.
“I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them. If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake. But they understand I’m doing it out of love.”

Grace Lucille (Winge) Lippert died on March 13, 2018 at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, North Dakota surrounded by her loving family. Grace was born on April 15, 1932 atTrinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota, the fourth child of Albert Nicolai and Mabel Caroline (Gregerson) Winge. She grew up on the farm that was homesteaded by her father in 1913 in Van Hook, North Dakota where she did her fair share of chores in the barn with her father and chores in the house with her mother. She attended Van Hook Public School and graduated in 1950. During the winter months she was transported to school by horse and sleigh with her father at the reins, keeping her feet warm with bricks taken from the cookstove. She enjoyed Glee Club during her school years. After graduating from high school she entered the school of nursing at Trinity Hospital in Minot. She worked for a short period of time in the hospital in Rugby, North Dakota. In the fall of 1951 she entered Minot State Teachers College, now known as Minot State University, where she studied to become an elementary school teacher. On July 29, 1953 she graduated with her standard diploma in elementary education. 1953 was a very significant year for the entire Winge family as their farm was taken by right of eminent domain to accommodate Lake Sakakawea, the lake that would be formed by the building of the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. The family moved to a farm in Litchville, North Dakota where Grace taught 3rd and 4th grade in the Litchville Public School for two years, 1953 - 1954 and 1954 - 1955. After two years in Litchville she accepted an offer to teach 3rd grade at Washington School in Fargo, North Dakota which involved a significant pay increase, from $2,500 per year in Litchville to $4,300 per year in Fargo. She taught in Fargo for three school years, 1955-1956, 1956-1957 and 1957-1958.
TABLES OF TEN
During her years in Fargo she shared an apartment with her younger brother Royce who was studying at North Dakota State University, watching out for him as a big sister often would. She enjoyed her time teaching, guiding children and developing their minds. She also enjoyed the colleagues with whom she worked. While in Fargo she experienced more life changing events. Her mother died very suddenly of a massive cerebral hemorrhage on July 18, 1956. Grace also met the man who would become her husband, Wilbur Eugene Lippert. He was a student at North Dakota Agricultural College, now North Dakota State University. He graduated in 1957, they got engaged and he accepted a job offer in Chicago, Illinois. Grace, always being the cautious one, suggested he try the job for a year before they got married. Grace continued to teach in Fargo and Wilbur began his career in Chicago. On a very hot June 28, 1958 Grace and Wilbur were married at First Lutheran Church in Litchville, ND.

Bulldogs tie Seabreeze in gritty match Sophomore Taylor Murphy scored FPC’s lone goal. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR
After surrendering its 1-0 halftime lead in the early moments of the second half, Flagler Palm Coast’s girls soccer team had several chances to regain the lead down the stretch in its match with rival Seabreeze on the night of Monday, Jan. 21, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex. A few Bulldogs missed shots to the left or to the right. However, with 12:11 remaining and the game knotted at one goal apiece, the Bulldogs’ Jaryn Paley slipped behind Seabreeze’s defense and had a one-on-one opportunity with the Sandcrabs’ goal keeper. She blew the shot well over the crossbar. A shot by Seabreeze with 15 seconds left on the clock scared the left side of the Bulldogs’ net but whizzed out of bounds, and for the second time this season, the Bulldogs walked away from a game neither a winner nor a loser. The Bulldogs, who were on an 11-game winning streak entering Monday night, tied Seabreeze 1-1. “Seabreeze is a good team,” Bulldogs coach Pete Hald said, “but we blew so many chances tonight.” Hald reiterated a concern that he’s had most of his team’s games this season: win, lose or tie. “We don’t finish,” he said. “It’s

one of the problems that we’ve had the whole year. We create opportunities to score, but we don’t make the keeper work.” Sophomore forward/midfielder Taylor Murphy scored the Bulldogs’ only goal of the night. She scored with 6:22 left in the opening half to give FPC the early lead. “It’s always a tough battle with Seabreeze,” she said. The first round of the district playoffs begins on Thursday, Jan. 24. The Bulldogs host the first two rounds. “Are we playing our best soccer? I’m not sure,” Hald said. “We aren’t playing bad. But what counts is putting the ball in the back of the net.”

Let’s talk about mental health The Community Problem Solver project ‘Thinking Out Loud’ aims to create mental health discussions in schools. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR
What do you love about yourself? Describe yourself in one word. What do you love to do? These are some topics Flagler Palm Coast High School senior Valerie Diaz encouraged a classroom full of Bunnell Elementary School sixth-graders to answer on sheets of paper on Friday, Jan. 18. Diaz is “Thinking Out Loud” with students around Flagler Schools, through her Community Problem Solvers project, which creates conversations about mental health. She’s done 12 presentations so far and hopes to visit more classrooms soon. “My freshman year, I had a couple knee surgeries and I was in a wheelchair, and I couldn’t really go out and do things with my friends, and I couldn’t even go to school,” she said. “So, that kind of took a toll on my mental health, and I started realizing that more kids could learn about it.”
Diaz created this CmPS project her junior year to help stimulate mental health conversations at a younger age, rather than wait for Freshman Success classes, she said. Thinking back to her own seventh- and eighth-grade years, Diaz said she had anxiety and was bullied into depression. During her presentation, she shared the history of her mental health, as well as a PowerPoint slideshow that encouraged the BES students to cope with stress in healthy ways and to build their self-esteem. She went around to each student asking them to say something positive about themselves or something that they enjoy doing. When one girl couldn’t think of something she liked about herself, Diaz asked her classmates to say something they liked about her instead, which brought a smile to the girl’s face. “Some kids kept coming up and saying thank you, and when I was in the small groups, one girl told
me my presentation was really good,” Diaz said. She also showed the students a video made by Dove where a sketch artist drew a portrait based on how the subject described themselves, then another portrait based on the description a new friend provided. It opened the students’ eyes to see that others often see you in a better light than you see yourself. “I think there are certain things in my presentation that hit home with students, like the activities and the video,” Diaz said. But she said there’s still a lot more awareness to spread. Knowing that a Flagler County 17-year-old girl died by suicide on Jan. 14, Diaz is striving to do her part to uplift and educate youth. “With all the news going on in Flagler County in this week and past weeks, I think something like this is really, really needed in the schools,” Diaz said. Diaz hopes to present her project ideas to the Flagler County School Board, in the hopes of establishing more mental healthfocused classes in schools.

As soon as she heard the word in the championship round, Old Kings Elementary School fifthgrader Addison Davis knew she had won, according to a news release from Flagler Schools. “Renovate” won her the 2019 Flagler County Spelling Bee, but it was “pretzel,” which threw her for a brief second in the round, to get her to the championship. “You mean the food?” she asked Flagler Schools Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Diane Dyer, who was the official pronouncer for the bee. Runner-up in this year’s Spelling Bee was Chevaney Chandradat, a sixth-grader from Belle Terre Elementary School, the release stated. She pushed Addison through seven rounds Wednesday night, Jan. 16, in the Wadsworth Elementary School cafeteria. “I’ve got to be honest. I really didn’t start looking at the words until about four days ago,” Addison said in the release. “There were some words I spelled tonight that I don’t think I ever saw.” She credits her love of reading when it comes to spelling though. Addison’s parents, Lesley and Josh Davis admit it was not easy watching quietly from the audience. “I think they should put a warning out for the parents on just how nervewracking it is to watch them stand up and do this,” Lesley Davis said in the release. “I had no idea.” “I thought I was going to pass out,” Josh Davis said in the release. “I’m just so proud ... as proud as I can possibly be.” Addison will go on to the 75thannual First Coast Regional Spelling Bee next month at Jacksonville University, in Jacksonville.
BE FIRE SMART DURING WINTER

As Flagler County experiences cold temperatures this week, the Palm Coast Fire Department urges residents to be fire smart with these safety tips: n Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, including people n Make sure the area around the fireplace is clear of anything that is potentially flammable (ie: furniture, drapes, newspapers, books, etc.) n Generators should be used outside only, and be sure to place them away from windows and doors. If using a generator, install carbon monoxide alarms and test monthly. n Likewise, never use a grill indoors. Fuel-burning devices release carbon monoxide, which is a deadly gas.
n Plug only one heat-producing appliance, such as a space heater, into an electric outlet at a time. n For fireplaces, be certain the damper or flue is open before starting a fire, and don’t close the damper until the embers have completely stopped burning. n The chimney should be checked annually by a professional. Even if the chimney is not due for cleaning, it is important to check for animal nests or other blockages that could prevent smoke from escaping. n Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended. Make sure it is completely out before going to bed or leaving the house. n Install both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Test them monthly and change the batteries at least twice a year. n Communicate to children as early as possible the dangers of fires and the heat generated from them. n Keep a fire extinguisher on hand. For more information, call the Palm Coast Fire Department at 986-2300.
FLAGLER COUNTY HOMESCHOOLERS SAVE PELICAN

A group of Flagler County homeschoolers found a pelican trapped by a fishing line while they were strolling the beach for sand dollars.
In January, a group of Flagler County homeschoolers found a pelican trapped by a fishing line while they were strolling the beach for sand dollars. Upon closer inspection, they found the fishing line around the bird’s neck and hooked into his wing. He was also stuck to three other birds who were strangled with the same line, said Mindy Hoffmann. They called help and animal control. Neighbors freed the bird and drove him to an animal hospital where they were told he will make a full recovery. The students involved were: Brooklynn, Chloe’, Dallen, Mara and Anderson Hoffmann, Josh Fallon, Emma Finn, Aram, Oli and Elon Anderson, Leon and London Streeter, Will and Whitley Boone, Brooklynn Roberge, Wade Farmer; and adults Jim and Debbie Hogan, Dena Finn and Tami Padilla, who helped free the bird and transport him to the hospital.
PRO-LIFE MARCH IN FLAGLER BEACH Knights of Columbus Council 10514 and the Santa Maria del Mar Respect Life Committee participated in a Pro-Life March at the church in Flagler Beach on Saturday, Jan. 19. Knights of Columbus Pro-Life Chairman Duane Berreth and Respect Life Committee President Janice Berreth coordinated the planning for this event. Corpus Christi Assembly 2810 4th Degree Color Corp lead the marchers. Father Jim May led a Pro-Life rosary from the St. Joseph Statue to the Marian statue at Parish Hall and back.

ROTARY DONATES TO END POLIO NOW The Rotary Club of Flagler County presented a $1,000 check to Dr. Jeffery Michelman, assistant district governor and End Polio Now committee chair for Rotary District 6970, during the club’s meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15. The money was raised in November at the club’s dunk dank booth to raise awareness for World Polio Day.
FCSO GOES GREEN WITH TWO HYBRIDS The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Citizens On Patrol (COP) section is “going green” with two new 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrids, according to a press release. The new vehicles run on a hybrid of electricity and gasoline, therefore reducing the carbon footprint and operating cost. “These sedans are fuel efficient and environmentally friendly,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news
release. “Our COPs are volunteers who spend their personal time serving Flagler County. These new vehicles will allow them to serve our citizens while also protecting the environment and saving the taxpayer money.” The COPs assist with traffic control at accidents, investigate minor crashes, assist in parades, funeral escorts and other special details. When the electric power of the car runs out, the car switches over to gas. The cars average 43 miles per gallon in the city and 41 miles per gallon on the highway, the release states. Previously, the COPs used old repurposed patrol cars which resulted in higher repair and operating costs and average less than 15mpg. Staly hopes to phase in additional hybrid vehicles for the COPs in coming years. Send Your Town stories to Paige Wilson at paige@palmcoastobserver.com.

Third-grader Victor Laster focuses on planting the carrot seeds.
PLANTING SEEDS OF SUCCESS
Photos by Paige Wilson
Wadsworth kids plant gardens PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR
Gathered around two garden beds at Wadworth Elementary School, excitement from a group of thirdand fourth-graders grew as they were assigned tasks to prepare the garden for planting. The planting on Tuesday, Jan. T:10”
22, was a collaboration between the Flagler County UF/IFAS Extension and 21st Century Community Learning Centers, which is a $2.5 million academic enrichment grant with Flagler Schools. This free program focuses on students below grade level in math, language arts and/or science, with interactive, after-school curriculum. It’s offered at the three Title I schools in the district, Wadsworth, Rymfire and Bunnell Elementary. The students were surprised by
the tiny size of the carrot seeds that Travis Mitchell, food systems specialists with UF/IFAS, handed out to them to plant in small holes they made in the soil with their fingers. “Our main focus is on nutrition, so that’s really why we use the school gardens,” said Mitchell, who built the garden beds. “There’s a lot of studies showing that kids who participate in school gardens — and you can see it here today — just get so much more excited about the idea of eating vegetables.” Margaret Cruz, project assistant with the UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program, will return to WES to help students harvest the vegetables and fruits they’re tending the rest of the school year. Pam Sarria, a project manager with 21st Century Community Learning Centers, has seen the benefits of the program firsthand. The program is now in its fourth of five years with Flagler Schools, but Sarria was involved with 21st Century for 16 years in Brevard County before moving here. She said there is a “huge difference in the classroom” because of the program. “We have to do surveys with the teachers, students and parents every year as well, and the teachers say the behavior is better in the classroom, because it’s more structured than an extended-day program or regular, after-school day care. So, they have to do academics. They’re with a teacher every day for one hour,” Sarria

said. “They tie it into the Flagler County curriculum app, but in a fun manner. It’s not like regular classroom work.” While the carrots seeds fascinated the students, the strawberry plants — some with small berries already blossoming — spurred a lot of smiles. “They gain a healthy respect for the activities they’re doing,” Sarria said. “Nutrition is a main component of the grant.” Each 21st Century site has one site manager, four activity leaders, five teachers and 70 students
(in grades 1-6) for the daily program, where students are given a free meal every afternoon and then are with a certified teacher for one hour, followed by 1 1/2 hours with the activity leader as they work hands-on with activities such as science projects, writing assignments or garden tending. In addition to school-year programs, 21st Century also offers a seven-week, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. free summer program for academically qualified students. Visit http://21cclc.flaglerschools.com.
