Andy Dance and the walking audits School Board member is on a mission to make streets safer around schools. BRIAN McMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

A group of children and adults strolled along Red Mill Drive near Rymfire Elementary one morning, participating in a national initiative to encourage students to walk to school. Then one of the adults, Principal Paula St. Francis, got a terrible phone call. It was Oct. 7, 2015. School Board member Andy Dance remembers it clearly because he was also walking with the group, and he saw the look on St. Francis’ face. The caller said a child across town in Palm Coast had been hit by a car that morning. Kymora Christian was pronounced dead at the hospital. She was 7 years old. The community responded with a petition for safer streets, signed by more than 1,000 people on change.org. Bus stop safety became the subject of several government meetings, and Dance represented the School Board on an ad hoc committee that was formed to look for solutions. Among the changes that resulted were cement pads at some bus stops to encourage students to stand in safe places away from the intersections. Lighting was added to some bus stops, and some routes were adjusted. But did that make the streets safe enough for students?

PALM COAST PROCLAIMS FEB. 28 RARE DISEASE DAY The Palm Coast City Council at its meeting Feb. 5 proclaimed Feb. 28, 2019, as Rare Disease Day in Palm Coast. The proclamation, prompted by a request from Palm Coast resident Mike West, comes as the National Organization for Rare Disorders organizes a nationwide observance of Rare Disease Day on Feb. 28. The proclamation, read by City Councilman Jack Howell during the meeting, cites National Institutes of Health statistics and states that there are almost 7,000 diseases and conditions that are considered rare, and which each affect less than 200,000 Americans, in the United States. But taken together, they affect “an estimated 30 million Americans, which is one in 10 people,” according to the proclamation. “While the individual diseases are rare, the numbers are humongous,” said West, who has Stiff Person Syndrome, a condition of the central nervous system. Still, the proclamation states, less than 500 of those nearly 7,000 conditions has an FDAapproved treatment, and people who have those conditions can

struggle to find medical experts and to access treatment. For more information on Rare Disease Day, go to https://www. rarediseaseday.org.

FLAGLER HELICOPTER TRAINING PREPARES FIREFIGHTERS

FireFlight’s hangar at the Flagler Executive Airport has been busy this month as outside agencies have paid visits for two separate trainings: wildfire air operations, and helicopter air ambulance orientation, according to a Flagler County government news release. Representatives from the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Forest Service, St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office, Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office — all but St. Johns County flew into the airport — on Feb. 1 attended the Wildfire Air Operations training session organized by Chief Pilot and newly appointed Director of Aircraft Maintenance Steven “Todd” Whaley. “We want to make sure that all of our paramedics can perform equally well regardless of which helicopter (air ambulance) arrives,” said Dana Morris, FireFlight Operations Chief.

hird-graders bustled around a hallway at Imagine School at Town Center, many with their belongings bundled in pillow cases that were draped over their shoulders or cradled in their arms. Some boys sported newsboy caps and the girls donned bonnets or shawls. On Friday, Feb. 8, the students were transported to Ellis Island. The year was the 1910, and everyone was dressed reminiscent of the time when millions of immigrants flocked through Upper New York Bay over a period of 60 years. The is the eighth year ISTC held the themed day, third-grade team lead Heather Overton said. The idea originally came from a scholastic website, but the school has adapted it over the years with different elements like banners and signs. “The purpose is to really help kids understand what it was like to go through Ellis Island,” Overton said. “They go to five different rooms and they’re interviewed, they have to take a citizenship test, they have their bags checked to see what they brought with them. They have to also explain their reason for coming, where they came from, what job they have, who they plan on living with, how they’re going to provide for themselves.” Overton said that some students chose to use their real name, while others made up their age and personal information. At

the beginning of the day, about 100 students in five classes lined up on the outdoor sports court to check their passport checked and purchase transportation tickets, after sailing over on a “boat,” before they move inside to learn about documentation, citizenship tests and more. The four-hour day concluded with a “Welcome to America” party with snacks and drinks. About 30 parents volunteered to run the show, Overton said, as they were assigned different roles in each classroom to interact with students. “I told them you can question (the students) and make them so m ewh a t u n co m fo r ta b l e because they would have been uncomfortable, they would have been scared and nervous,” she said. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Deputy Ralph Lilavois added another scare tactic to the festivities. Volunteers collected the students’ baggage if it was left unattended and turned it in to Lilavois, who acted as a immigration detainer. He questioned the students before returning their belongings to them — if they didn’t get detained themselves. “They love it; it’s the highlight of their year,” Overton said. “I’ve already had 15 former students come and see me this morning and say, ‘Oh, it’s Ellis Island Day, I love Ellis Island Day,’ so it really is a memorable experience for them.”

GUEST WRITER

As a member of the Palm Coast City Council, it is incumbent upon me to assist my fellow council members in the selection of the new city manager. Unfortunately, I was ill during the first cut of applicants for the position. However, I have read all of the resumes, watched all candidate video presentations and noticed that Beau Falgout was the only applicant that was rated the highest by the four voting council members on Jan. 22. The purpose of this correspondence is to highlight why I firmly believe that Beau Falgout should be made our next city manager. In my previous career as a Marine Corps officer, I was taught from day one to know my subordinates and observe and assist them in developing their leadership traits and skills, thus helping these Marines advance in their careers. Trust me: As a Marine Corps colonel, I know leadership both on and off the field of battle!

Dennis Burns, 65, of Ormond Beach, President and Chief Executive Officer of the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, passed away Sunday February 3, 2019. It was always the aspiration of Dennis to lead a local United Way. He was the President/ CEO of the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties since November 2015 and his leadership was responsible for the implementation of the Community Impact model locally. Dennis grew up in Hornell, New York and was very proud of his small town beginnings. He attended Hornell High School and moved to the Central Florida community to attend the University of Central Florida. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. Dennis worked for the Orlando Sentinel before completing a stint as a Loaned Executive for the Heart of Florida United Way in Orlando, Fla. Following that time, he joined the Heart of Florida United Way full-time in Resource Development and began his 20+ year career with the team. In 2015, he joined the United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties as the President/CEO and in addition to the successful implementation of Community Impact, he was also responsible for the increased advocacy of the ALICE population, and increasing the community’s engagement with United Way. Dennis was an incredible leader that cared deeply for his local community. He believed in the mission of United Way and in seeing a more prosperous life for all. Dennis was involved on many local boards and committees including: Flagler Cares, Commission on Homelessness for Volusia & Flagler Counties, One Voice for Volusia and VMA Education Committee. He was a member of the Daytona Beach Rotary and a graduate of Leadership Daytona. Dennis is survived by his wife of 41 years, Mary Burns, and their three children; Cameron Robert Burns, Carlyn (Ryan) Linker and Charisse (Adam) Bitner; sisters, Margaret Burns and Roberta (Farris) Riggsbee; brother, David Burns; grandchildren, Kelsey and Kyle Linker and Emma and Hailey Bitner and several nieces and nephews. His parents and brothers Eugene and Thomas Burns predeceased him. A celebration of life memorial service for Dennis was held Tuesday, February 12, 2019 at Tomoka Christian Church. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the United Way of Volusia/Flagler County at https://app.mobilecause.com/ public/campaignskeywords/32180/donations/new.

It is with this experience that I bring to my position on the City Council that I see Beau Falgout as the natural choice for our next city manager. A standout! What I have observed about Beau is that he is a skillful communicator, bright, ambitious, academically qualified and has served in various positions within the city government to know the “heart and soul” of how things work and don’t work in the accomplishment of the city’s mission. He is well-liked and respected by city staff. Most importantly, he is not a “mini-me” of the former city manager, has significant growth potential, and he listens to the city staff and our citizens! The bottom line, in my opinion, is that his time has come. I am proposing that we terminate the search for the next city manager and hire Beau for this position. I believe that in our heart of hearts, my fellow council members know that Beau is the best choice. I want to save the city of Palm Coast money by canceling our contract with the search firm SGR. Let’s not waste taxpayer dollars by bringing them to Palm Coast for interviews. Our jewel is already here and functioning as our interim city manager.

Council considers traffic calming for Florida Park Drive The city may also add air quality monitoring stations. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast may start monitoring air quality on Florida Park Drive, and the City Council is considering adding landscaping, medians and traffic calming devices like speed bumps on the street, which has drawn resident complaints about traffic. Part of the council’s dilemma has been defining the problem — specifically, whether it’s more a traffic volume issue or an environmental, air quality one, Mayor Milissa Holland said during a Feb. 12 City Council workshop. Residents of Florida Park Drive have repeatedly expressed concerns over the years about speeding cars endangering pedestrians and about vehicle emissions’ potential to affect resident health. But measures to reduce vehicle speed, like adding speed bumps, could also mean increasing emissions because vehicles would be idling more and spending more time on the street.

“You squeeze this in one area, it’s going to come out in another. ... You’re kind of shifting where the traffic flow is.” SANS LASSITER, president, Lassiter Transportation Group

Councilman Bob Cuff said the issue seems to be too many cars, and the only thing that would affect that is making the road less convenient to drive so that drivers who are using it as a pass-through take other routes. But there’s a problem with that, said Sans Lassiter of the Lassiter Transportation Group, the firm the city government has hired to study the Florida Park Drive issue. “You squeeze this in one area, it’s going to come out in another,” Lassiter said. “You’re kind of shifting where the traffic flow is.” Cuff added that traffic calming could also frustrate Florida Park Drive residents who can’t avoid using the road to get to and from home. He suggested the city hold a neighborhood meeting about any potential traffic calming. The city government last measured air quality and vehicle speed on Florida Park Drive in 2015. Emissions were below levels considered problematic under the National Ambient Air Quality Standard, and the average vehicle speed was 30-35 mph. The City Council at the time decided that the road’s level of service was acceptable, and opted not to continue with further phases of study and intervention. At the workshop Feb. 12, council members said they did not expect any significant changes in air quality. But, Cuff said, “I think we ought to measure it, because I think we owe it to the community.” Councilman Jack Howell also

said he supported air quality monitoring in the residential portion of the street. So did Councilman Nick Klufas, who suggested that the monitoring be ongoing, so that the city would be alerted to any spikes in emissions. It wasn’t clear at the workshop what the costs would be: Lassiter had proposed $66,485 for a further study, but council members did not believe that all of the elements of the proposed study would be necessary. Holland told interim City Manger Beau Falgout she would like city staff to come up with a plan of action, including an explanation of the costs of adding air quality monitoring stations, landscaping and traffic calming devices. CITY TO CONSIDER ADDING BUSINESS OMBUDSMAN

Palm Coast is considering hiring an ombudsman to help guide businesses through the permitting process required to open a business within the city. The City Council has discussed that possibility in the past, but Holland brought it up again at the Feb. 12 workshop, telling Falgout that she wants to see something done. “I really, really feel strongly that we have got to address working collaboratively with businesses,” she said. “These are real issues; these are not just rumors out there. And so something’s not working right, and I don’t think we want to send a message ... that we are not business-friendly.” Falgout replied that the city has not included an ombudsman

position in this year’s budget. He said he’s looking at options. MAYOR PROPOSES VETERANS DAY BBQ EVENT

Mayor Milissa Holland wants the city to host a BBQ for its veterans on Veterans Day this year. After the annual Veterans Day ceremonies in Palm Coast, she said during a council workshop Feb. 12, “All of these veterans are sitting in our community sort of alone, and it makes me sad. ... I would like to propose that we, as a city, host a BBQ program for our veterans on Veterans Day this year.” After the morning city and county Veterans Day ceremonies, she said, the city could bring in some bands, have a “big, oldfashioned barbecue,” and make the event free to veterans. “To me, that should be something that we do every year,” she said. She added that she has already started speaking with the local DAV and VFW chapters about the proposal. “As a veteran, I think that’s a super idea,” City Councilman Jack Howell said.

Andy Dance and the walking audits RUNNING FOR OFFICE

Dance grew up in Flagler County. His parents owned a garden center and were part of the Historical Society. His father, George, was president of the Cattleman’s Association and helped lead the Flagler County Fair. His mother, Nancy, was elected to the School Board in the 1980s and 1990s, and Dance remembers her as thoughtful and conscientious, a deliberate decision-maker, a good communicator. On election nights in those days, Andy Dance recalls going to the old courthouse in downtown Bunnell to support his mother. The voting results were written in chalk on a blackboard. As they were updated, someone would erase the numbers and write the new ones. “The suspense was very exciting,” Dance recalled. After high school, he earned a degree in landscape architecture, and he moved to Jacksonville to work. He visited his parents in Palm Coast often, and, one day, he went to one of his mother’s School Board meetings. The meetings were held at what is now the Flagler Technical Institute, a small building just west of the Flagler Auditorium on the Flagler Palm Coast High School campus. The room was full, and it was a contentious meeting. He remembers her being very professional as he watched her from the audience. Both of his parents, Dance recalled, set a good example. From them, he learned this lesson: “If we want to make where we’re living better, we have to step up and participate in that process.” With his wife, Luci, and their three children, Dance moved back to Palm Coast full time in 2002. In 2008, all three of those children — Kayla, Sarah and Drew — were in elementary school. A special election was held for the School Board that year to finish the remaining two years of the retiring Dr. Jim Guines’ term, and Dance decided to run and be a voice for parents in school decisions. His wife was supportive, and the whole family often joined him on campaign stops. Dance won that year. He was unopposed in 2010, won again in 2014, and was unopposed again in 2018. When he ran for School Board, he did not intend to eventually be chairman of the Community Traffic Safety Team, but that’s what he has done since May 2017. The CTST is run by the Florida Department of Transportation, and according to Chad Lingenfelter, safety specialist for FDOT District 5, there are 10 CTSTs in his nine counties. Typically, they are led by law enforcement (Michael Van Buren, of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, led Flagler’s CTST before he retired in 2016). Having Dance, a school board member, as chairman is unique, Lingenfelter said. Every month, Dance leads the CTST meeting — coincidentally, in the same room of the FTI building where School Board meetings used to be held while his mother was on the board. WALKING AUDITS

In March 2017, a 16-year-old Matanzas High School student, Michelle Taylor, was struck by a car and killed on Lakeview Boulevard as she walked along the road. That same year, the River to Sea

vard, which is the portion of Belle Terre Parkway north of Matanzas Woods Parkway. Soon thereafter, Belle Terre will get streetlights from Palm Coast Parkway south to Pine Lakes. Lane also pointed out, however, that the lighting issue is complicated. According to a recent survey whose 2,000 responses are still being analyzed, many residents say they want more lights on streets. But others say they want the streets to stay dark so that the stars will still be visible in the sky. The City Council approved in November a master plan for continuous streetlighting. CHASING GRANTS

Andy Dance is the only School Board member in two counties to perform “walking audits” of the students’ walking routes to school. He is the chairman of the Community Traffic Safety Team, which meets at the FTI building — in the same room where his mother, Nancy Dance, participated as a School Board member in meetings in the 1980s and 1990s.

Transportation Planning Organization funded safety studies of each of Flagler County’s public elementary schools (Bunnell, Old Kings, Rymfire, Wadsworth and Belle Terre) and the public middle schools (Buddy Taylor and Indian Trails). Flagler was late to the table. The TPO had already funded studies for all 65 of the schools that existed at the time in Volusia County between 2005 and 2011, but Flagler didn’t become part of the TPO until 2014, according to Stephan Harris, transportation planner/project manager for the TPO. The recommendations from the studies included general strategies for improving car rider lines and encouraging more students to walk to school. But Dance noted that the studies didn’t address site-specific issues. He had expertise he thought would help: As a landscape architect, he had designed sidewalks. So, with the encouragement of Karissa Moffett, the Safe

A YEAR SINCE PARKLAND Feb. 14 marks one year since the high school massacre in Parkland. Are schools safer today than they were? School Board member Andy Dance said Flagler County’s emphasis on school safety began in earnest not after Parkland but after the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut. That was when the district teamed up with the Sheriff’s Office and analyzed safety at reception areas at schools, installed magnetized door locks and performed safety audits of schools. The cost-cutting during the recession, though, led to a reduction in the number of school resource deputies. This year, after Parkland, state funding was increased, and the deputy positions were restored. Today, all schools in Flagler County have school resource deputies. Dance also credits Community Problem Solver groups for raising awareness of safety in schools, as well as pedestrian safety. He said schools take their emergency drills more seriously today than ever before.

Routes to School coordinator for the Health Planning Council of Northeast Florida, and with the permission of Superintendent James Tager, he decided to conduct a “walking audit” of each school. Wadsworth Elementary Principal Anna Crawford volunteered to host him for the first one. In Harris’ experience, this was also unique. In the TPO’s 72 school safety studies, staff would ried buses and make observations. He had never heard of a school board member actually walking the routes until Andy Dance did. As Dance walked with Moffett, they took notes and pictures, tagging locations with GPS markers on a map. Dance noted low-hanging tree limbs that should be addressed. He noted uneven spots in sidewalks, and even where parts of the sidewalk were discolored. If a sidewalk was darker than it should be, it was an indication of being stained by the soil, and that meant murky water had been pooling up on the sidewalk after rains. In some places, he saw evidence of algae on the sidewalk, and that meant the water had remained for quite a while. If a sidewalk floods, students have to walk around it, possibly into the road. IMPROVING ROADS

Dance presented his findings from that first walking audit to city of Palm Coast Senior Planner Jose Papa. As a result, the city has restriped crosswalks, removed limbs, repaired sidewalks. Combine that with the work of Dance and others on the ad hoc committee in 2015, and it was clear that safety was improving. But, so far, the only walking audit had been at Wadsworth Elementary School. Dance also did an audit at Rymfire and another at Matanzas High School (although he admits that he used a golf cart at Matanzas, in the heat of the summer), but things stalled after Moffett got a new job in October, and the reports were never compiled. In the meantime, however, the city of Palm Coast has been working on other safety measures. Multiuse pathways have been added along all major roadways, and “anything near a school is a top priority,” according to Palm Coast Communications Manager Cindi Lane. The spot where Michelle Taylor died is completely dark at night, but on Feb. 22, Florida Power and Light will begin installing streetlights on Lakeview Boule-

Dance was all smiles at the Feb. 12, 2019, meeting of the CTST. In previous CTST meetings, Dance had brought doughnuts, but he stopped because he usually had too many leftovers to take home, he joked. Today, at the FTI building, attendance was up. There were representatives from the city of Palm Coast, Flagler County, the TPO, FDOT, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, several schools and other organizations. Someday, he hopes there will also be input from residents, as well as Bunnell and Flagler Beach. There were presentations about the drop-off pattern at Rymfire Elementary School, turn lanes near Walmart, an update on roundabouts, and other agenda items. After the meeting, Dance stayed in the room. He had yet another meeting, this time with Valerie Feinberg, the woman who is now filling the Safe Routes to School role vacated in October by Moffett. Now, Dance plans to continue with the walking audits. He’ll finish the reports and present them to the city to address immediate and simple concerns that can be addressed to make it safer for kids. And he plans to get help. The TPO accepts grant applications every year for Safe Routes to School, the program whose guidelines Dance and others were following as they walked to school in October 2015. This year, Harris said, the TPO has received about 36 grant requests, and they’ve all come from Volusia County — none from Flagler. Dance hopes to change that and make some requests in time for the March 29 deadline. There are big challenges ahead. Limbs and sidewalk cracks are easy, but what about the fundamental problem of limited walking space on Palm Coast’s neighborhood streets? The developer of the city designed inexpensive grassy ditches called swales that are effective for stormwater purposes but not as effective for walking safety. Lane estimated it would cost $1 billion to replace the swales. As a result, walkability may always be an issue. “There’s a level of frustration with the lack of infrastructure,” Dance said on Feb. 12. “It’s a complex problem.” Still, Dance is on a mission. “I think we have to look at some more innovative solutions to look at how to help those in walking zones,” he said. After the CTST meeting, he reflected on Kymora’s death in 2015. Her memorial service, which he attended. The concern of the community. “We don’t want to lose any of the students,” he said. “We don’t want them to get injured. Something like that happens, and you want to find out why, and you want to find out ways to alleviate that to best of your ability.”

High-speed chase leads to arrest A man who allegedly stole a vehicle from Beechwood Lane in Palm Coast led deputies on a high-speed chase, according to a charging affidavit released by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded to AdventHealth Palm Coast in reference to the stolen vehicle on Friday, Feb. 8. Deputies spotted the vehicle, a Chevrolet, empty in the parking lot of the hospital. A man later identified as 29-year-old Yuliy Ilchenko then left the hospital and got into the car. He fled when he saw law enforcement officers. Ilchenko lost control of the car near Memorial Medical Parkway, driving into oncoming traffic until he struck the southbound curb. Ilchenko then got out of the car and ran through a nearby open field. He was eventually tackled by a deputy, and they got into an fight on the ground, striking the deputy on the shoulder, but he was eventually subdued.

Ilchenko told deputies that he rented the car from an unknown man at the library on Friday for $25 and that he was supposed to use it “for an hour or two.” He was taken to jail.

Animals vs. vehicles: Colbert crashes From 2013 to 2018, there were 14 animal-related crashes on Colbert Lane, according to a report shared by Flagler County Planning Director Adam Mengel. He said at the Feb. 12 Community Traffic Safety Team meeting that the county was considering adding signs to warn residents of deer. Some of the crashes were also likely related to hogs.

BRIEFS County wins lawsuit against unlicensed contractor Flagler County on Feb. 4 won a lawsuit against unlicensed contractor James Cigler, also known as “The Gutter Guy,” who took money from an elderly Palm Coast woman for work that he did not complete and that was otherwise “substandard,” according to a county government news release. Assistant County Attorney Sean Moylan pursued legal action after Cigler failed to attend a hearing by the Flagler County Contractor Review Board and failed to pay a $500 fine for performing unlicensed contract work plus an additional $1,500 restitution. “Contractors must be licensed and insured,” Moylan said in the news release. “The victim contacted law enforcement, city officials, and Seniors Vs Crime (a special project of the Florida Attorney General). The Contractor Review Board unanimously voted in favor of the homeowner but he failed to pay restitution or otherwise respond to the Notice of Violation.” Circuit Judge Christopher A. France on Tuesday signed an order requiring Cigler to pay the restitution first, followed by the $500 fine in $200 payments beginning this month. The court retains jurisdiction of the case until all payments have been made. Homeowners are advised to ask to see a contractor’s license and proof of insurance, or contact the Flagler County Permitting Department at 386-313-4005, according to the news release.

Rapist’s request for new trial denied

NEWS EDITOR

Circuit Judge Terrence Perkins has rejected a request by Obtravies Watkins, the 35-year-old registered sex offender convicted in 2018 of rape and attempted murder, for a new trial. Watkins has been tried and convicted in two locations — Volusia County and Flagler County — for the crimes, which crossed the counties’ jurisdictional boundaries: Watkins had kidnapped a woman in Daytona Beach, driven her to a wooded lot off Old Kings Road in Flagler County, then raped her and tried to strangle her to death, twice leaving her for dead after she lost consciousness. He had already been sentenced to two life terms in Volusia County when he went on trial in Flagler. In a motion before Perkins Feb. 11, Watkins’ public defender, Regina Nunnally, sought Perkins’ permission to hold a new trial for Watkins on the basis that, when jurors were polled as to whether the guilty verdict read in the courtroom was their true and correct verdict, one juror had seemed to hesitate before saying yes. “Her hesitation to say yes to the question ... to me, that was a sign that she wasn’t sure,” Nunnally told Perkins. Nunnally had also mentioned her concern to Perkins

Dear Editor: The mayor and the City Council are persisting in their efforts to sell Palm Coast residents on a developer’s plan to build a large apartment complex in the Town Center.

But it will be. Obtravies Watkins in court. The only difference between this apartment complex and in the courtroom at the time, in a Section 8 low-income housing side bar conversation not audible is the way the rent is subsidized to the jury.

So, irrespective of how the mayor and City Council disingenuously attempt to portray the Town Center apartment plan and spin the narrative, it will be a government-subsidized lowincome housing project very similar to Section 8. And it will be built by a developer who certainly isn’t building it because they’re nice guys with a social conscience. ROBERT GORDON Palm Coast

WARNING SIGNS Inmate’s death leads to investigation Fennick complained of fever for days before he was taken to the hospital after a seizure, his parents said. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A young man who was hospitalized in critical condition after a medical incident at the Flagler County jail was removed from life support on Saturday, Feb. 9, family members said. Anthony Fennick, 23, had told the jail’s medical staff for days that he was ill, but was only hospitalized when it was too late to help him, his parents said. “The one thing that I can not forget or ever forgive is knowing the way my son spent his last five days of his life,” said Fennick’s mother, Erika Willams. “My son experienced a very painful death. It wasn’t a sudden death. It wasn’t like, OK, he was sick but he was being treated. No. It was a very slow, painful agonizing death.” He had called twice a day, she said, until he was hospitalized on Monday, Feb. 4. “I heard it from his voice and his conversation,” she said. “The fevers, the shivering, the not being able to have a bowel movement for four days, the not being able to shower for four days because he was so weak. I will always remember that. My son literally cooked from the inside out. And they let that happen. That’s the part that I will never get out of my mind,

knowing that my baby was telling me this, twice a day … until the last day he only called me one time. And when he didn’t call me by 10:30, by 10:20, I knew something was wrong.” Fennick was serving a 300-day sentence that began Jan. 9, after he was arrested on a charge of violating drug court probation for a felony charge for unlawful possession of a controlled substance and burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, according to the FCSO. Williams said that she didn’t want it to sound like she thought her son hadn’t deserved to be in jail. “He should have been there, because he was serving his time,” she said. “My problem was the care that he got. That’s the problem that I have.” INVESTIGATION PLANNED

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 6 issued a short news release stating that the agency is initiating an investigation into Fennick’s case. The release states that Fennick “suffered a medical episode” as the jail staff prepared to take him to AdventHealth Palm Coast. The agency is limited in its ability to speak about Fennick’s case because of patient privacy laws

we can do, let us know,’ and that this matter will be investigated tenfold.” FCSO Chief Mark Strobridge said Feb. 13 that the investigation is ongoing. “It’s a very, very tragic situation and we’re trying to work through the investigation,” Strobridge said. “An autopsy is being completed, and then the sheriff will continue to turn over every stone to get answers and find the truth in this particular case.” ‘WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG’

and the ongoing investigation. But Fennick’s family said that after days of a fever, Fennick had had a seizure, and that he had a second one when he arrived at the hospital. “Our medical team screens and evaluates every inmate at the detention facility,” FCSO Chief Steve Cole said in the news release. “The medical team is available to inmates at their request. They reacted as soon as the medical episode was reported.” The FCSO contracted with Armor Correctional Health, a private company, in 2018 to provide medical care for inmates. There

are nurses on staff around the clock, but a doctor is only at the jail once a week. Dan Williams, Fennick’s father, said that FCSO Chief Paul Bovino — who is acting sheriff while Sheriff Rick Staly is out of the country with the FCSO’s SWAT team, which is participating in a competition in the United Arab Emirates — had visited Fennick at the hospital. FCSO Chief Steve Brandt and Detective Annie Conrad had also spoken with Fennick’s family. “They seemed remorseful and apologetic,” Dan Williams said. “They told us, ‘If there’s anything

Dan Williams said his son didn’t have any serious medical problems when he arrived at the jail. “The kid’s been healthy his whole life,” Dan Williams said. “I mean, he had kidney stones before, and he passed them without any medicine or anything. ... He’s not a whiner. Ever since he’s been a baby, he’s never whined when he was sick or anything. So when he told his mom, ‘I’m sick and I don’t feel good,’ we knew something was wrong, because he’s totally not like that.” That was on Wednesday, Dec. 30. The problems had started when Fennick got an odd bump on his neck. It got bigger — big enough that he couldn’t turn his head without it hurting, his father said. So he went to a nurse at sick call in the jail, and was given an anti-

biotic and some ointment. Fennick told his parents the nurses thought it was a cyst. But the next day, Fennick woke up feverish. He was still feverish that night, and was given ibuprofen, his father said. “This went on for five days, and he’s been running a fever,” Dan Williams said. “Every day he called us at least twice a day, because he always did, and it would be progressively worse.” Fennick also told his parents that he was not being given clean clothes and linens to replace ones that had become sweat-dampened from his fever. At one point, he woke up with a red, full-body rash. On Sunday, the day before he was hospitalized, Fennick placed his second call of the day much earlier than he usually did — at 7 p.m. or 7:15 instead of 10:30 p.m., his father said. He told his parents that his whole body ached, that it was hard to stand up and that he wanted to sleep. He said he need-

ed to see a doctor, but that he’d been told that he couldn’t see one until Tuesday — the day the doctor from Armor Correctional Health was scheduled to be there. He said he’d been so dazed that he couldn’t get himself into his prison jumpsuit. “2:20 on Monday was the last time we heard from him, and my wife could hardly recognize the voice on the phone. We recognized the number,” Dan Williams said. Dan Williams said his son had said that while some nurses were helpful, others assumed he was malingering. At one point, two detention deputies — Brandon Twing and Jarred Tazewell — intervened, Dan Williams said. “They took him to the nurse’s station and said, ‘He’s sick, he’s not faking this,’” Dan Williams said. Still, Fennick told his parents, the nurse was skeptical. Meanwhile, Erika Williams repeatedly called the Sheriff’s Office trying to get jail staff to take her son’s illness seriously. But the jail staff, Dan Williams said, was tight-lipped, stating that they did not have an updated medical release form from Fennick that would allow them to discuss his condition. “She would go, ‘I don’t want medical information; I’m just telling you, my son has this fever, and somebody needs to look at it,’” Dan Williams said. HOSPITALIZATION

Fennick was admitted to the hospital on Monday night, Feb. 4. His family was informed by hospital staff the following morning, Dan Williams said. “They said, ‘Your son’s here

DONATIONS COLLECTED FOR CELEBRATION OF LIFE CEREMONY Anthony Fennick’s family has set up a gofundme.com page to collect donations for Fennick’s celebration of life ceremony and care for his daughter, who is 2. To donate, go to https://www. gofundme.com/anthony-fennick-celebration-of-life.

and he’s in ICU, and you need to get down here as soon as you can,” Dan Williams said. When the Williamses arrived at the hospital, Fennick was on life support with no brain activity. Hospital staff told them that he’d had a seizure at the jail. On arrival at the hospital, he had a second seizure. He stopped breathing, and his heart stopped beating. For nine minutes, hospital staff tried to resuscitate him. They were able to revive a faint heartbeat, but Fennick was unconscious, Dan Williams said. “Nobody’s given us any indication of what happened or why he had the seizures,” Dan Williams said. “Still, we have no idea. They said there was swelling and fluid on the brain. ... They suspect it was because he had a high fever all these days.” After Fennick’s heart attack, Dan Williams said, the hospital staff performed a brain scan and found that there was no blood going to Fennick’s brain. The doctors knew Fennick was not going to live. They told the family to start making his funeral arrangements. “They said, ‘In the morning, we’re going to proceed with unhooking the machines,’” Dan Williams said. Fennick was removed from life

support and died the morning of Feb. 9. Dan Williams held the Armor Correctional Health staff at the jail responsible for what happened to his son. “I don’t believe he’s been receiving the right medical care,” Dan Williams said. “I think they really dropped the ball. If someone’s running a fever for that many days, they should have been attended to.” At the FCSO’s request, Armor pulled two nurses, an LPN and an RN, out of the county jail. In an email to the FCSO Feb. 8, Armor Correctional Health Regional Vice President Jennifer Owens stated that, because the nurses have not been found guilty of wrongful practice, they are being placed on paid administrative leave rather than unpaid leave. “Both employees positions are required to be backfilled by Armor to maintain continuity of patient care at the Flagler County Detention Center,” Owens wrote in the Feb. 8 email. “This cost would be above the contract terms therefore Armor Correctional Health Services requests the Flagler County client reimburse Armor for the cost of maintaining the two above employee’s salaries while on leave as well as any benefits the employee’s may have.”

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2019

“2:20 on Monday was the last time we heard from him, and my wife could hardly recognize the voice on the phone. We recognized the number.” — DAN WILLIAMS, Anthony Fennick’s father

The RN was paid $2190.24 biweekly, and the LPN $411.84 biweekly. The FCSO is disputing Armor’s request for reimbursement, noting the lack of any specific contract provision that would require it. Erika Williams said that before his probation violation arrest, Fennick’s life had been improving: He’d finished a drug rehabilitation program in DeLand and then quickly gotten a job as a dish washer at a local restaurant. He has a 2-year-old daughter. “He was never a bad father: That was daddy’s little girl,” Erika Williams said. Now, Erika Williams added, “All she does is ask for ‘Daddy, Daddy, Daddy.’ Now, I’ll have to explain to her why he’s not here.” Williams said she did not want her son’s death to be in vain. “If we can use his experience to save one more life, and prevent them from dying in agony, and prevent one family from going through what we’re going though, then my son didn’t die in vain,” she said. “And I know I am keeping my son’s spirit alive.”

Family-owned tap room opens in Bunnell Loping Gopher has 36 craft beers on tap, mostly local. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Jose Ferrer worked in the corporate restaurant industry for nearly 40 years. Most recently, he and his wife, Jean Ferrer, operated a food truck named Foodz in Tallahassee for the past five years. It was a stressful, labor-intensive business. “It seems like a fun, glorious business, and it is,” Jose said, “for the first six months.” However, working out of a food truck is where the Ferrers

Jean and Jose Ferrer.

first uncovered their love of beer. They used to park their truck outside events for Tallahassee’s local breweries. They came up with the idea of opening their own tap room in Fall 2017. The couple moved to Flagler County in June 2018 and worked with the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center to open their new facility. The Loping Gopher Tap Room, located at 4601 E Moody Blvd. in Bunnell, was officially opened in December (a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held in March).

It has 36 craft beers on tap, featuring beers predominantly from local breweries. It also offers wine and sangria. “If you can’t find something you like here, you don’t like beer,” Jose said. In addition, the Ferrers plan to introduce food to the tap room in about a week. The facility won’t become a full-fledged restaurant — it lacks the necessary equipment — but the Ferrers said they plan to offer snack foods like tapas, tacos and more. Live music and trivia nights are also featured. “We’re trying to create something people will enjoy,” Jean said.

SPORTS HIGH

King of the 5 HILL Matanzas’ Marquice Hill sinks a corner 3-pointer as time expired to upset FPC.

Matanzas’ Marquice Hill sank a 3-pointer as time expired to lift the Pirates to a win over their crosstown rival.

The Flagler County Horseshoe Pitching Club took first place in the annual Florida State Team Tournament on Jan. 26 in Bradenton. They competed with teams from all over the state and won bragging rights for the year and a large trophy. The Flagler club will also host the Florida State Horseshoe pitching tournament on April 10-13 this year at Old Dixie County Park.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

atanzas’ boys basketball team led by as many as 7 points in the final 2 minutes of its game against Flagler Palm Coast on the night of Thursday, Feb. 7. But the game is never over in this kind of rivalry. The Pirates felt the pressure of the atmosphere in Matanzas High School’s gym. The Pirates turned the ball over three straight times, and after a layup by FPC’s Azavier Fleming, the game was tied with fewer than 15 seconds to play. The Pirates didn’t take a time out to draw up a play. Their goal was to get the best shot possible before the buzzer sounded. Pirates guard Michael Williams dribbled the ball up the floor as the seconds ticked away. He tried to work his way around screens to get to the rim, but the Bulldogs’ defense stifled him. In a last-ditch effort, Williams flung the ball to Maleik Gibson, who then shuffled the ball to Marquice Hill, who stood open in the right corner just behind the 3-point line. Hill hadn’t made a 3-pointer

the entire game. All Matanzas coach Donald Lockhart could do was watch from the bench as Hill rose up for the potential game-winning jumper as the game clock expired. “When I saw the ball leave his hand, I knew it was good,” Lockhart said. Hill’s triple lifted the Pirates to a 55-52 victory — their second win in a row against the Bulldogs. “I thought our comeback was brilliant,” Bulldogs coach Gary McDaniel said. “I’m proud of our guys. I just wish they didn’t make that shot.” FPC’s Fleming led all scorers with 18 points. But defensively, the Pirates’ plan was to disrupt the Bulldogs’ star forward D’Mahgio Warren, who averages about 22 points per game. They knew they couldn’t guard Warren one-on-one, Lockhart said, so the Pirates defended him with multiple players each possession. Warren, who was plagued by foul trouble for much of the game, was held to 8 points. “We had a game plan and we were able to stick to it,” Lockhart said.

Iowa lakes Community College wrestler Tyrone Jones, who won a state championship as a wrestler at Matanzas High School, qualified for the NJCAA National Championships in the 165-pound weight class.

A trio of Flagler Palm Coast football players signed their national letters of intent at a signing ceremony on Wednesday, Feb. 6, at FPC High School. Defensive back Dennis Shorter chose BethuneCookman University, linebacker Tallin Coates chose Stetson University and nose tackle Willis Glover chose Edward Waters College.

Matanzas football player Seaton Waldhauer, who played along the offensive line for the Pirates in his senior season, signed his national letter of intent to play college football for the Savannah State University. The Tigers are a Division I program that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

The 2018-19 season came to a close for FPC’s girls soccer team in the first round of the regional tournament. The Bulldogs, who went 20-5-2 this season, lost 1-0 to Buchholz on Feb. 5.

Pumping IRON in Panama City

“I’m going to have to keep pushing and put all my training into my last year, and hopefully I’ll be able to get the gold.” LEXI BUCHANAN

FPC places three in state weighlifting meet. Matanzas’ Katie Welker also placed at states.

When Lexi Buchanan walked into the gym at Arnold High School in Panama City Beach to compete in the FHSAA Class 2A girls weightlifting state championship on Friday, Feb. 8, she was nervous. Buchanan, who lifts in the unlimited weight class for Flagler Palm Coast High School, won the title during the 2017-18 season. The pressure of becoming a back-toback state champion weighed on her. She ended up missing three of her lifts between the bench press and the clean-and-jerk, and with a 485-pound total (280-pound bench, 205-pound clean-andjerk), the junior was 30 pounds short of Oviedo’s Alexis Jones for the top spot. Buchanan took home a silver medal and earned 5 points for the Bulldogs’ team total. The second-place finish is fuel for her upcoming senior year. “It’s bittersweet,” she said. “I’m going to have to keep pushing and put all my training into my last year, and hopefully I’ll be able to get the gold.”

Buchanan was one of three Bulldogs to place at the event. Matanzas’ Katie Welker, who was a mainstay for the Pirates in the 110-pound weight class this season, benched 135 and clean-andjerked 115 to take sixth in the Class 1A meet on Saturday, Feb. 9. The Bulldogs’ Anniel Buchanan (Lexi Buchanan’s younger sister) and Anisa Zwolinski placed third and fifth in their respective weight classes. Anniel Buchanan, a freshman who didn’t lift weights prior to this past summer, set the goal of winning the title in her first appearance at the state level. She benched 190 and clean-andjerked 170 in the 199-pound weight class. She missed two of her lifts — one on bench and one on clean-and-jerk — and ended up 30 pounds behind Niceville’s Melaina Bryant. “The experience was amazing,” Anniel Buchanan said. “I was ecstatic even though it didn’t go how I planned it to go.” Zwolinski finished second in the 169-pound weight class last season. However, stiffer competition made this year’s meet

FPC lifters Lexi Buchanan, Anisa Zwolinski and Anniel Buchanan.

a tougher task. She benched 170 and clean-and-jerked 190. Land O’ Lakes’ Veronica Salazar took the top spot with a 385-pound total. The Bulldogs also set the goal of winning the state title as a team. Instead, they finished fourth for the second year in a row. “It wasn’t the goal we wanted,”

FEBRUARY 16, 2019

Lexi Buchanan said. “The day didn’t play out as we wanted to as a team. It was the mentality that we had as a team — it wasn’t the greatest. We need to come in with a mentality that we have to do what we need to do to win.” Email Ray Boone at ray@palmcoastobserver.com.

Meet FPC flag football’s Breaza Robinson

Fast. Physical. Competitive. Robinson totaled 12 interceptions and 11 touchdowns for the Bulldogs last season. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Breaza Robinson has been playing football since she was 5 years old. She used to tag along with her older brothers, Jimmie Jr. and Jimmie III, when they left the house to go play with their friends. She would play twohand touch and tackle with the older boys — it didn’t matter. “I’m a competitive person,” Breaza said. “I like competition and being physical, and I feel like because I was a girl, everybody doubted me. I just like showing them what I can do.” Her brothers, who played high school football for Flagler Palm Coast and who now play for BethuneCookman University, helped cultivate her talent. They taught her to throw, to catch, to run routes and so on. “They were always pushing me to do better,” Breaza said. Football has always been her favorite sport. When she got to FPC her freshman year four

years ago, she had the opportunity to join the Bulldogs’ girls flag football team, although she decided to sit out in order to focus on her grades. However, the Bulldogs’ former head coach, Jim Gambone, rejoined the team the following year, and he was able to convince Breaza to play again — despite the fact that flag foot-

ball does not extend to the NCAA level. She plays because she loves it. It was difficult for her to adjust to the rules and the lack of physicality in flag, but everything else came naturally, and she quickly became a game-changer for the Bulldogs. During her junior year last season, she took it up a notch, totaling 12 interceptions and 11 touchdowns. The confidence she gained playing alongside her older brothers fueled her. “I feel like I can go up and get anything,” Breaza said. “I trust in myself and I trust in the process.” Breaza prefers playing tackle football, however. During the summer before her senior year, she asked head football coach Travis Roland is she could play for the team. Although she didn’t get to play for the Bulldogs, she did serve as one of the team’s managers, where she helped alleviate some of the workload on the coaches and players. The Bulldogs open up the 2019 season against Pine Ridge on March 4 at FPC’s Sal Campanella Memorial Stadium. A few months ago, however, Breaza wasn’t sure if she wanted to play her senior year. She was concerned about finishing high school on a strong note academically. But she couldn’t leave her teammates behind.

s Belle Terre Elementary school girls ran around the dance floor in colorful dresses, many would stop in front of their father just long enough for him to film a short clip of his little girl twirling around with a tiara on her head. After all, she’s his princess. Fathers, father-figures and daughters gathered at the school’s Ties and Tiaras dance on the evening of Friday, Feb. 8, for a night to remember. With a meal and drinks catered by Golden Carol and Sunny’s BBQ, families filled up then hit the dance floor in the cafeteria. Second-grade teacher Karen Gargon said they sold about 350 tickets at $15 each to benefit the second grade, who hosted the event. The money will go toward class field trips, like an upcoming one to an alligator farm. “The girls get so excited just to spend time with their dads,” she said, watching all the duos dance around. A photo booth with props added entertainment, as Principal Dr. Terence Culver snapped photos for the families to make the memories last.

thinks they know everything — to try to throw them to see how they’re going to adjust,” Vigo said. He said this course was built based on the Daytona State College syllabus for introduction to teaching.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2019

“The goal is that by their junior or senior year, they’re going to be able to take a college-level course and get credit toward the teaching program at Daytona State,” Vigo said. “The push was to have a push for minority students to enter the educational field because Daytona State was offering a scholarship for minority students, so that’s going to be a push as we get started for next year — to get more minority student involved.” He said he’s been in contact with Buddy Taylor Middle School Principal Bobby Bossardet in the hopes of visiting the home of the Eagles to present information on the flagship, and encourage more students to enroll when they start high school. Vigo has been a teacher for 18 years and earned a master’s degree in early childhood education. He said he’s thrilled to lead this flagship. “I’m passionate because this is all I ever wanted to do my entire life,” he said. “I believe there’s not a profession, to me, that’s as rewarding.” The joy is in the moments when former students come back to say, ‘thank you’ or when he sees a student succeed after leaving his classroom. “I’ve woken up tired; I’ve never woken up not wanting to come to work, because every day is different,” he said. This is a notion he’s trying to pass on to the future educators. “There’s no one who didn’t have a teacher. Regardless of how successful they are, how much wealth they had, the one thing we all have in common is we had teachers, we had educators, we had mentors,” Vigo said. “And if you look at your job like that and your position like that, it’s much more encouraging to continue to do it every day, knowing that there’s a surgeon in this room that’s going to save somebody’s life. There’s a police officer who’s going to do something heroic. There’s a soldier who’s going to put their life on the line for what we believe in. If I wake up every day remembering that, then all the other stuff doesn’t matter as much.”

While the FPCHS Future Educators of Flagler flagship program is in its first year, Vigo is excited about its impact on students. “We get to see what the teacher sees and how they have to think through everything and why

they assign certain things for us,” Saffelder said. She hopes to take level two of the program next year, when she’ll be a senior. Eventually, she wants to become a band director. While McIntosh doesn’t want to become a teacher, she took this class to learn teaching skills for when she becomes a nurse in the U.S. Navy and has to instruct people on the job. “It kind of helps us get a taste of what teachers have to go through,” McIntosh said. “It puts us in a position where if it really came down to it, we would know what to do.” The two agreed that it’s beneficial when their teacher, honeraises Mr. Vigo, sits at a desk st a fed, and his hand to ask questions during r ti their lessons. “I’ve tried over the last couple days to act as a seventh-grader, who maybe needed a little extra help, or maybe someone who

‘I know you can do it’

Palm Coast teen with prosthetic leg inspires others

COMMUNITY EDITOR

hen Bob Nichols first took Tyler Jacques out on a mattress delivery for the first time in late November, he was hesitant. After all, Jacques was a 16-year-old boy, and teenagers aren’t always reliable, he said. But he was also unsure if Jacques could keep up with him and handle the weight of the mattresses. Jacques was born without his left leg, below the knee, and with only a thumb and three short fingers on his right hand, due to amniotic band syndrome. “I was in a bind and I decided to take him out, and I could tell the first night that we went — I think we did three or four deliveries — and I went home and told my wife, ‘I think I got someone really good,’” Nichols said. As the store manager for Bedtops Mattress Clearance Center in Palm Coast, Nichols never looked back after hiring Jacques, a Flagler Palm Coast High School freshman. In fact, he said that

Jacques is the one pushing him to work harder and move faster. “It’s funny because we’ll be carrying a mattress in and I was constantly asking him, ‘Are you doing OK? Are you all right?’” Nichols said. “And his response was, ‘Yeah, are you all right, old man?’” Their bond grew after their first night of deliveries. Now, Jacques works four to five nights a week after school, for about 20-25 hours weekly. “I thought it was going to be a struggle at first, when I first got here,” Jacques said. “But I can do what any other kid can.” This job has given Jacques work experience, he said, as he hopes to become a mechanic one day. To Jacques, a prosthetic leg is just his norm. He gets a new one every year or so as he outgrows it, and he donates the legs he outgrows to others who need them. He doesn’t realize the extent of his impact on others, but store

Tyler Jacques carries a mattress into a customer’s home, using both hands for support.

owner Judy Lemay said that’s just because he’s a humble young man. On Jan. 31, Jacques sat at a table in the store with his best friend and coworker Peter Bolton, Lemay and Nichols as they raved about his genuine personality, impressive strength and strong work ethic. “I never really thought I would inspire anybody,” Jacques said. But he does. Lemay recalled a customer who called the store to express her gratitude for Jacques’ efforts. “It was a house he and Bob had delivered to,” Lemay said. “And she said, ‘I cannot believe what that young man can do, and I just wanted to call and tell you out of all the deliveries I’ve had, that it was so well taken care of.’” Bolton noted that Jacques and Nichols make quite the pair on deliveries, as they get along well. “I think he looks up to Bob quite a bit,” Lemay said. “Bob’s a great guy. He’s overcome a lot of adversity in his life too, so they make a very good team.” A 20-foot fall in December 2013 changed Nichols’ life. He shattered his neck, back and both hands, and it gave him a brain injury. Three and a half years later, a second chance came when Bedtops hired Nichols, after he’d purchased a mattress himself. “I really didn’t think I’d ever work again,” Nichols said. “Judy and Gary brought me on, and to

me, that was huge to overcome that. But it’s nothing like what (Jacques has) overcome his whole life. He puts so many things in perspective about life. I worry about the littlest things, and I really don’t anymore with him because I see what he does. He’s an amazing person, and we’re very thankful that he came on with us.” Nichols mostly worked in the store itself before Jacques was hired. But when Bedtops needed more delivery crews, the two paired up. “He pushed me to want to try to do the delivering, and when I did, it loosened up my muscles; I feel better than I ever have,” Nichols said. “It makes me feel alive again.” As a 17-year-old now, Jacques

“It’s funny because we’ll be carrying a mattress in and I was constantly asking him, ‘Are you doing OK? Are you all right?’ And his response was, ‘Yeah, are you all right, old man?’” BOB NICHOLS

spends his time out of school driving around with friends and delivering mattresses. He hopes to join the school baseball team at some point, as he was in Palm Coast Little League for 13 years. He has four brothers and two sisters, and this job keeps him busy, he said. “I never really liked going outside anywhere because people would just make fun of me every day,” Jacques said. At school, kids still pick on him sometimes. But it has given him a thick skin, he said. “What bothered me a lot when we first started going into people’s houses is that they were constantly asking him about his leg,” Nichols said about Jacques. “And I finally asked him, ‘Does that really bother you? Because I’ll say something if it does.’ And he said, ‘No, people want to know. I’m sure they’re curious.’ I think he wants to get the word out there and help people that are born with disabilities know that you can do it. As long as someone gives them a chance, they can do it.” Jacques’ advice to others is as simple as a lesson everyone learns in kindergarten: Try your best. “I know you can do it,” Jacques said. “I mean, I’ve been through a lot; I’ve done a lot — a lot more than people ever thought I would.”

FCAL AND GAF JOIN FORCES FOR EXHIBIT The Flagler County Art League launched its open-theme “Anything Goes” show, along with the Gargiulo Art Foundation Artist of the Year event, at its February opening, on Saturday, Feb. 9. Both shows are running until mid-March. The exhibits features 96 entries in diverse categories in the FCAL portion, complemented by the colorful paintings of Trish Vevera, GAF’s 2019 Artist of the Year. “Unique sculptures, including a vase made of felt, share space with work in various other media and genres — realistic, abstract and impressionistic painting in watercolor, oil, pastel and acrylic, photography and photographic art, colored pencil and ink,” Stephanie Salkin said

in a news release. “The moods are many as well, ranging from whimsy to drama, intellect to emotion, vivid to subtle. In the GAF portion of the show, Vevera’s delightful work carves its own niche in the center of the main gallery — more than 30 of her paintings are on display.”

500 FLOCK TO BIRDS OF A FEATHER FEST

The Bunnell Water Tower and Bunnell Coquina City Hall building have been approved by the keeper of the National Register and are now officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places, local historian Randy Jaye announced in a press release. In the past four months, Flagler County has had three properties named to the National Register of Historic Places, with the Holden House being listed on Oct. 16, 2018. There are now eleven properties in Flagler County listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Between caring for her mother, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease, and caring for her husband, who has undergone several surgeries over the past year, an evening that focused on caring for herself was a much-needed break for Palm Coast resident Lorraine Baeza, according to a news release. Baeza was in attendance at “Community Caregiving: An Evening for Caregivers” Thursday, Jan. 31, at River House in St. Augustine. The event was hosted by the Central and North Florida Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, in partnership with the St. John’s County Council on Aging. The event pampered local caregivers with massages while learning more about Alzheimer’s disease and the unique experiences that these caregivers go through.

The fifth-annual Birds of a Feather Fest, hosted by the city of Palm Coast, had about 500 attendees, said City Communications and Marketing Manager Cindi Lane. As part of the four-day fest, National Audubon Society Chief Network Officer David Ringer shared how he got interested in birding as a teenager. He talked about decreasing bird population because of development, habitat loss and climate changes, and he provided information on what regular people can do to help, such as planting more native plants in their yards and providing bird houses, baths and feeders to help migratory birds on their journey. “I felt empowered to help in my own backyard and also to pay closer attention to regional, state and national issues that
