Text-to-911 in Flagler County
Sean Patrick Farrelly, 47, of Palm Coast, was arrested on the evening of Feb. 19 and charged with two separate counts of sexual crimes against minors, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of marijuana, according to a news release from Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. After receiving a report of the sexual offenses on Feb. 18, detectives with the FCSO Major Case Unit met with the victim and family. Detectives were immediately able to corroborate portions of the victim’s story.
With the assistance of the First Coast Child Protection Team, the Department of Children and Families, the victim and the victim’s family, detectives created a plan of action. Within several hours of utilizing several investigative methods, detectives were able to establish probable cause and arrested the suspect without incident at his residence. While searching the suspect prior to transporting him to the jail, detectives located marijuana in his pocket leading to the narcotics charge. Farrelly is being held in the county jail with no bond.
Crash leaves four with serious injuries A driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed near the Flagler County Airport on the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 18, leaving the driver and three of his four passengers with serious injuries, according to a news release by Florida Highway Patrol. The driver, a 16-year-old boy, was driving a black 2004 Ford Ranger north on a dirt road near Airport Road. For an unknown reason, he lost control of the vehicle and struck a concrete utility pole, according to the report. One of the passengers, who was riding in the bed of the truck, was thrown from the vehicle and onto the ground. The driver and one 15-yearold passenger who had minor injuries were taken to AdventHealth Hospital. The other three passengers were taken to Halifax Health in Daytona.

Homeless in Flagler The homeless camp behind the Flagler County Public Library has created public health and safety hazards.
The homeless camp behind the Flagler County Public Library is covered in trash and human waste, creating a hazard to the public.
RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR
What goes on in the woods behind the Flagler County Public Library is “out of sight and out of mind,” as District 5 County Commissioner Donald O’Brien puts it. Driving past the library via the Palm Coast Parkway or Belle Terre Parkway, the issues are barely visible to the naked eye. Things are quiet, unassuming. But a walk through the woods that envelope the 19-acre property reveals so much more. Old, rusty bicycles and wheelchairs mark the trails’ entrances. Discarded beer cans, paper and plastic provide a path to an ecosystem of worn out tents — and people. Library Director Holly Albanese believes homeless people began occupying the area surrounding the library, located at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway NW, about two years ago. There were only a few tents at first, but it has grown considerably since that time. She estimated that the homeless population that inhab-
its that area is now about 40. She’s found homeless sleeping at the entrance to the library when she’d arrive for work at 6 a.m. She’s found discarded needles and other drug paraphernalia outside of her office. She’s cleaned up feces and urine from the floors of the library’s bathrooms. She’s broken up fights and called law enforcement countless times. With each passing month, the situation grows worse — and the fear of the library’s employees grows, too. On the morning of Jan. 20, 69-year-old Leroy Hommerding, in his 20th year as the director of the Fort Myers Beach Public Library, was stabbed to death by a homeless man while Hommerding was opening the facility, according to a report by The News-Press. Albanese said most of her staff doesn’t use the staff parking lot on the west side of the building, which is adjacent to one of the entrances to the homeless camp. They fear walking to their cars when it’s dark out.

Assistant County Attorney Sean Moylan, Public Lands and Natural Resources Manager Tim Telfer and Flagler County Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Joe King discuss their observations on the homeless camp.
On Wednesday, Feb. 13, Albanese and O’Brien were accompanied by a Flagler County deputy as they surveyed the issue in the woods for the first time. “I’ve always known that we’ve had challenges with respect to the homeless,” O’Brien said. “But I didn’t know the pervasiveness of it until I saw it with my own eyes.” The most immediate concerns are the public health and safety hazards. When O’Brien visited the property again on Saturday, Feb. 16, three dogs charged out of one tent. They bit him on both of his legs, breaking the skin. He was treated and needed antibiotics. Animal Control was called, and the dogs were quarantined. “This is heartbreaking for me to see that we have so many like this in our community,” O’Brien said. In addition, littering and human excrement have polluted the wetlands that exist on the property. County officials gathered at the library on Monday, Feb. 18, to document the impacts the increasing homeless population has had on the property’s woods and wetlands. Tim Telfer, of Land Management, who was among the county officials who surveyed the property, is also coordinating with the Forest Service to conduct underbrushing fire mitigation since it’s a thickly wooded area in the heart of Palm Coast. This prescribed burn was previously planned but delayed because the Forest Service had to deal with Hurricane Michael. Joe King, the deputy chief of the Flagler County Fire Rescue, assessed potential fire hazards. John Bey, of the Health Department, evaluated wetland impacts and sanitation. And Ed Rodriguez, of Code Enforcement, evaluated litter, debris and nuisance conditions. “Dealing with the homeless is a tricky issue, and we’re currently evaluating what steps we are allowed to take,” said Assistant
County Attorney Sean Moylan, who also visited the site. As for figuring out next steps, Moylan said the county is unsure. The county has fielded complaints from residents of Braddock Lane, which borders the woods behind the library. James Adams has lived on Braddock Lane for the past eight years. He’s complained to the county about the homeless twice, most recently a week ago. Adams said he has had multiple items stolen from his property in the past year, including more than one bicycle, fishing poles and a canoe. He’s also seen, via security camera footage, people whom he believed to be homeless trespass on his property. His children have also found needles and other drug paraphernalia near the residence, including at their local bus stop. “They need a place to live, and I get that,” Adams said about the homeless. “My frustration is that it’s backing up right next to our houses. It’s very frustrating. But I can only push so many buttons.”

SHERIFF RICK STALY ON HOMELESSNESS “The federal courts have ruled that we can’t just go on to public property and say, ‘You have to move,’ unless the county has designated a location that’s for the homeless. We don’t have that designation in Flagler County. “We have a lady who tends to hang out at a park bench, and there’s trash all around her, but unless we see her drop that trash, we can’t make an arrest. “Every homeless person is different. And so you have to put a system in place that will take each case individually and see what you can do. That may include funding, so it’s not an easy fix at all.”

Q+A RICK STALY, FLAGLER COUNTY’S SHERIFF
A ‘fraying’ American society. A death in jail. BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR
S
heriff Rick Staly has a nice view from the third story of the Justice Center, but it’s a view he hopes he doesn’t have much longer, as he presses the county to find a new solution for the troubled Sheriff’s Operations Center (see Page 9). Meanwhile, Anthony Fennick’s death has raised questions about inmates’ health, and a homeless camp has formed near the library (see Page 3). The good news is that progress is being made in traffic safety and domestic violence deterrence. The following is an edited transcript of a Feb. 19 interview. Q: There have been several students arrested recently for making threats. Are they being prosecuted?
A: I don’t know the outcome of the cases at the State Attorney’s Office. I suspect they are using pretrial diversion, to give the kids a second chance, which I support. It’s time for parents to be parents again. I’m not a child psychologist, but something is going on with this generation. Maybe it’s because they’re behind a computer keyboard all the time, and they’re playing games on Xbox or whatever it’s on, and there seems to be a breakdown in the American culture. It’s taken a long time to get to this point, but when I went to school, every morning you started your school day with the pledge of allegiance and with a prayer. It’s not like

that anymore. That’s just one example of the American culture coming apart. It’s fraying. What we’re seeing now is we have a lot of single parent homes, parents that are working multiple jobs, so they don’t have the time to really be strictly involved in the kid’s life.
A: When I took over as sheriff, we were in compliance with the Florida Model Jail Standards, but we were at the basic minimum level. We used part-time paramedics, part-time doctor for four hours a week. We were asking detention deputies to administer insulin (giving shots) to inmates. My understanding is that there were some wrong dosages of insulin. That’s what I inherited. And everywhere around us was doing at least 16-hour medical care in the jail. So that was one of my goals. And so we did [a request for proposals] and there were only two inmate providers that submitted bids. One was Armor. There were 25 jails in Florida that had private vendors to provide medical care; 19 of those were using Armor. Volusia was using Armor, St. Johns was using Armor. In our analysis, Armor was not the cheapest, but Armor had promised a higher level of medical staff. We felt that they were the best provider to fill these needs to provide 24-hour medical services. Since that time, our jail has been accredited by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission — the first time in the history of this agency — just

received in October 2018. Now every person that is arrested is seen by nursing staff. They go through a series of questions, blood pressure, all those things when you go see a doctor. Armor’s staff are now responsible for doing the medicine. The remodeled jail, prior to me taking office, had a medical area. Never used. They had an EKG machine but never used it. So now that stuff is being used, because we had trained medical staff at the facility. Armor was ranked as the best. Obviously, we are reviewing that. And I’m a father, too. I can’t imagine the pain and grief of the Fennick family. Q: Have you spoken to the Fennick family?
A: I hope speak to them this week. They deserve full answers, and they deserve decisive action so that another parent hopefully never has to go through this again. They will get answers, and I will get answers, and then I will take action. Q: FlaglerLive Editor Pierre Tristam said your “Green Roof Inn” sign in front of the jail shows your contempt for inmates. What is your response?
A: That’s not true. My expectation is that we treat inmates like we would want to be treated. And if I have a provider that didn’t get that, meaning Armor, then I’m going to deal with that. Obviously FlaglerLive — that’s the beauty of this country: You can say what you want whether it’s accurate or not. That sign out there, that’s a crime prevention sign. I don’t want you to get arrested.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, A YEAR LATER
BUY • SELL • TRADE
Q: It’s good news your agency is reporting overall crime is down 22% from 2017 to 2018. But domestic violence is up. What can be done?
A: Almost a year and a half ago, I pulled together the community in a domestic violence summit, and out of that came a variety of solutions. One was batterers’ intervention, which was available only in Volusia County, so they’d end up violating the probation because they had no way to get there. So we brought it to Flagler County last year. Another recommendation was to assign a full-time detective to be assigned to follow up on domestic violence cases, and a crime analyst to look at the root causes. From 2017 to 2018, 22% more of our domestic violence cases are being accepted for prosecution, which tells me we’re making better cases. It tells me we’re providing better evidence. We’re also supporting the victim more, so the victim knows there is an alternative: They don’t have to live in this environment. We’re doing a better job of working with the Family Life Center and other support groups, to let the victim know they have a true community support system. And as a result, they’re more likely to follow through with the prosecution. Also, we implemented GPS monitoring, with ankle bracelets. While we’re seeing more reporting of domestic violence, that doesn’t mean those things weren’t always there. They were just happening behind closed doors. I can promise the community that there will be transparency in this investigation. We’re not leaving any stone unturned, and wherever it falls, it falls. If I have employees that acted inappropriately, we will deal with it swiftly.

Should the city 'calm' traffic on Florida Park Drive?
Observer
Do not ‘calm’ traffic on Florida Park Drive
“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”
Dear Editor: Concerning recent discussions about the so-called “traffic calming,” such measures make traffic worse for everyone and create the opposite result. Like other anti-car philosophies that are cloaked in disguised wording like “complete streets” and “vision zero” (more accurately described as “zero vision”), these efforts are aimed at making travel worse, not better. Florida Park Drive was designed a connector between the north and south parts of eastern Palm Coast. For anyone who lives there to complain about the traffic which seeks to use this access which helps make the street a good place to live, is hypocritical. Absolutely patrol the street, maintain the sidewalks, and use the speed monitors to keep things in check and flowing smoothly and safely. However, efforts to “calm” traffic via barriers will just make it worse for everyone who uses the street. Barriers will not calm the drivers and as Sans Lassiter said at a recent Palm Coast Council meeting, they will just push vehicles to other streets, mak-
Make the county and city manager into elected positions Dear Editor: "Absolute power corrupts absolutely," said 19th-century British politician Lord Acton. There has never been a better example of the truth of this statement than what occurred here with both the county manager and the Palm Coast city manager. These manager positions are the CEOs of both the city and the county, and in this single position rest all administrative and executive power at both levels of government. On the organization charts of both city and county, these managers report to the elected council or commission. On the same organization chart, all department heads report to the managers. Another wrinkle in this system is that by provision of the respective charters, only the manager may direct an employee. Both managers have recently been terminated because their respective supervisory authorities, the elected officials, got pissed off with them. As I have observed since 2011, these elected officials failed to discharge their supervisory responsibility. These elected officials either did not understand or did not care to act as supervisors to the managers. This continuing failure led the managers in both cases to gain more and more power. One means of gaining power was to put issues on what is known as the consent agenda. These issues were judged by the respective managers to be the “no brainers,” and in some cases these were pet project issues that the managers wanted to get passed without adequate justification.
ing more people mad at the City Council. In addition, the slowing and speeding up will probably produce more accidents, make it more difficult for Florida Park residents to get out, and will surely increase air pollution and fuel use. Moreover, the barriers will slow emergency vehicles and add the possibility of damage and excessive wear to vehicles. Florida Park Drive, as with all city roads, belongs to all Palm Coast residents, not just those who have chosen to live there. For those who elected to live there, for them to complain about the traffic is like people who move next to an airport and then complain about the noise; or move to Florida and then complain about the heat. MIKE MCGUIRE Palm Coast
residents face. Mayor Milissa Holland and City Council members had many questions for traffic study, traffic calming, and traffic environmental contractors at the recent City Council meeting. The city is looking at already gather information to determine what studies can be eliminated due to duplication. One consideration worth noting is having an air quality monitor at the Holland Park basketball courts to help ensure a healthy environment for the children. Traffic calming methods are going to be considered, and landscaping beautification options will be looked at. There was so much information the city has already gathered. Very informative workshop. STEVEN CARR Palm Coast
Thanks to the city for investigating solutions
If you don’t like it, move to another road
Dear Editor: The city is taking a proactive look at the issues on Florida Park Drive. Interim City Manger Beau Falgout visited Florida Park Drive recently to see for himself the issues
Dear Editor: Regarding City Council’s workshop on Feb. 12 and the “traffic calming” option for Florida Park Drive, perhaps it is time those residents considered the following:
The City Council or County Commission would accept the managers’ judgment and pass the particular item, which was usually included with several real “no brainers” on the consent agenda. Both the City Council and County Commission are in the process of hiring a new manager, and there is no reason to believe that the same powertransfer process will not repeat. Whoever is chosen will be obsequious to the elected officials at the beginning of his or her tenure, but, as elected officials change and the managers gain more control, we will be right back to where we are now. My solution is to make the CEO be an elected position. This is the model on every governmental level above the county. The elected strong executive works well in locations throughout the country. The people would directly elect the person to run the government and have electoral control over the tenure of the chief executive. This electoral process of the CEO would end the ability to gain absolute authority JOHN BRADY Palm Coast
We don’t want lowincome housing here Dear Editor: There is no home for lowincome housing in Palm Coast. Period. Re-branding it "affordable housing" or "workforce housing" is like calling a illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant." Madam Mayor, voters are not stupid. ED DANKO Palm Coast
IS JAIL SAFE FOR INMATES? Dear Editor: The death of the sick young man in jail is outrageous. This person wasn’t a murderer, rapist, or child pornographer. He had a drug relapse. He didn’t deserve the death penalty. The medical care of inmates at the jail is the responsibility of the jail staff and the Sheriff’s Office. This Mickey Mouse, low-ball outfit they hired for medical care should be fired immediately. Sure, there are a lot of inmates faking illness for one reason or another. But having a high fever, rashes and other symptoms should have been recognized as extremely serious and not just by deputies. A bottle of aspirin states that “if fever lasts longer than two days seek a doctor’s care.” If he had gone to the hospital earlier, he might be alive today. This is an affront to all law-abiding citizens that our jail is not safe. What if someone goes in for a DUI? They shouldn’t come out dead. I hope our local judges will release all those charged with low level offenses out on their own recognizance or to family members until the jail is safe again. JEFFERY C. SEIB Palm Coast
Florida Park Drive has been a major city artery since the town’s inception; this fact was not an after-purchase discovery. Busy streets have a negative impact on property values; residents of Florida Park Drive benefited from this. With city growth, comes traffic problems; this is not the only neighborhood affected. City installed flashing lights to slow traffic which, for the most part, has worked; be happy with that. The street – with sidewalks – is much safer than others without them, where walkers and bikers constantly contend with speeding traffic. Now “traffic calming devices” are being discussed for your benefit at taxpayer’s expense. This city street is not your personal driveway. Installing “traffic calming devices” will be a case of punishment of the innocent because you don’t like the street traffic. Really? All Florida Park Drive residents have the option to solve their problem and not cost the City or taxpayers a penny: Move! You don’t like the neighborhood, don’t live there! MARY SLATTERY Palm Coast
Be patient during reconstruction of A1A Dear Editor: This is my home, this is my community. We are fortunate enough to have Florida Department of Transportation rebuilding and spending the money to rebuild our community. After working days on this project, I have personally seen some situations that concern me and the safety of our community, my neighbors, and the workers that are trying to make Flagler Beach a better place. This is going to take months. Our community and visitors need to have patience while this is going on. In the long run, we will come out as winners with a better beach. Please be safe. If we have a dunes walkover with caution tape and stay out signs, don't take a chance. It's not safe. Slow down! All of us working out there have wives, kids and a life to go home to. It is obvious who we are! Do not run stop signs and pull out in front of trucks pulling equipment or with a heavy loads. If you use a side road, be safe! The residents walk their dogs, ride their bikes, use their golf carts, jog and exercise. These are your neighbors, and we are putting a burden on them and their streets.

Boy, 13, charged with threatening shooting
Student, 14, charged with gun threat
Deputies arrested a 13-year-old Buddy Taylor Middle School student Feb. 13 after the boy, while playing Xbox Live, allegedly told other students that he was planning to shoot up the school, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office charging affidavit. The 13-year-old is charged with making a “false report concerning the use of a firearm in a deadly manner,” a felony. One of the witnesses reported the incident, which occurred during an “Xbox party.” “The witnesses stated that [the 13-year-old] was mad because they began to lose in the game,” a deputy wrote in a charging affidavit. “Out of nowhere, [the 13-year-old] began to yell and make threats to shoot up the school this week.” The witness said the 13-yearold “also made statements about killing himself, but did not provide details,” according to the charging affidavit. The other student who had been playing the game confirmed hearing the 13-yearold make those statements, according to the affidavit. A deputy who spoke to the witnesses wrote in a charging affidavit that one of the witnesses asked the 13-year-old how he was going to do it. “[The 13-year-old] stated he was going to aim down the hallways and just shoot,” the deputy wrote in the report, summarizing the witness’ statement. The deputy asked the witness if the 13-year-old was known to be violent. The witness said the 13-year-old “has been bullied before and is known to be violent,” according to the charging affidavit. The 13-year-old told the deputy "that he does say things out of anger, and that he has anger issues," according to the affidavit.
A 14-year-old Indian Trails Middle School student made a video of himself holding a gun and saying “he was sick of people, and he was going to kill someone,” and making threats directed at a specific girl, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. FCSO deputies arrested him Feb. 15 and charged him with making written threats to kill or harm, a felony. The incident occurred days after another local boy, a 13-year-old Buddy Taylor Middle student, was arrested and charged with threatening to commit a school shooting. The 14-year-old allegedly made the threatening video Feb. 14, after the girl had slapped him because she was angry about rumors spreading around the school that she’d had sexual relations with him. The video came to the attention of school staff Feb. 15. The 14-year-old suspect had sent the video — showing him brandishing a handgun he’d gotten from his parents’ bedroom — to a girl who was friends with the victim. He had instructed the girl to show it to the victim, according to an FCSO charging affidavit. “He wanted the message to be clear to [the victim] that he was going to shoot her,” according to the affidavit. The witness who received the video showed it to the victim, and also alerted school staff. The 14-year-old suspect told deputies that he and the girl had engaged in sexual activity, that she became mad when rumors began circulating, and that she’d slapped him across the face on two occasions, both times off campus. The girl admitted to the deputies that she'd slapped the boy because she was angry about the rumors. The boy showed deputies the threatening video, which was on his cell phone. Deputies confiscated the phone.

The sheriff and his staff say they have a critical need for more suitable evidence storage. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Flagler County government staff and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office have worked together for months to come up with options to add additional evidence storage space for the FCSO, which has been evacuated from its Operations Center building on State Road 100 since June 2018. But Flagler County commissioners said they were not ready to consider those options when county General Services Director Heidi Petito presented them during a County Commission meeting Feb. 18. Commissioner David Sullivan requested that the commission table the matter, noting that the commission will meet on Feb. 21 and could discuss the Operations Center then. “I just think pulling money out of the budget … and doing a BandAid approach to the problem is not
the way to go,” Sullivan said. “My feeling is, we need to get the big picture plan of what we’re going to do to replace or go back into the Sheriff’s Operations Center before we make piecemeal decisions.” The county owns the Operations Center and is obligated, under state law, to provide facilities for the Sheriff’s Office. Since evacuating the Operations Center due to concerns that the structure is a sick building, the FCSO has divided its staff between two locations: the jail administrative building and the county courthouse. New evidence has been stored at the jail administrative building after the move. But it wasn’t built to store evidence, and the building now smells of marijuana. “We are kind of busting at the seams, because we’re not putting evidence into the old facility at this point in time, and that’s where the critical need is today,” FCSO Chief Mark Strobridge told the commis-
sion at the meeting. But other commissioners agreed that they needed more time to discuss the three options presented by Petito. The options are $219,498, $240,200 and $266,888 respectively, and involve various combinations of rented container boxes or modular office spaces and new or relocated buildings. There was a hitch when commissioners voted to table: When County Commission Chairman Donald O’Brien called for the yes votes, only four of the five commissioners said aye, while one, Greg Hansen, stayed silent. O’Brien did not ask for nay votes, and moved on to other meeting business. But Hansen said after the meeting that he had been planning to vote no: He thought the commission needed to get moving on finding a solution. But he also said he didn’t object to having a bit more time to discuss the options. Because Hansen didn’t state his vote, County Attorney Al Hadeed said, the vote will be recorded in meeting minutes as unanimous in favor of the motion to table.

BRIEFS Alley Cat Allies expert Alice Burton tells residents about TNR wins Alice Burton, of the cat advocacy organization Alley Cat Allies, addressed Palm Coast residents about trap-neuter-return initiatives during a meeting at City Hall Feb. 13. Burton spent 14 years as an animal control officer, and when her community first implemented TNR, she said, “I thought it was the stupidest thing ever. ... I mean, simple math, right, says, if you have five cats in a yard, you pull five cats out, you euthanize them, they’re all gone. The problem’s solved, right? Wrong! But I just couldn’t get it through my head. So, fortunately, they didn’t listen to me.” She ultimately ended up taking over that program. And three years later, she said, “We had no kittens” — the TNR was working — and the program is now a resource for the Washington, D.C., area. Burton reviewed some of the

basics of TNR and best practices for local caregivers. The meeting was the second recent meeting hosted by the city about TNR. The city, Palm Coast spokeswoman Cindi Lane said, is seeking community input on community cat issues. The city has allowed free-roaming community cats — provided they’re not creating a nuisance for neighbors — since a cat diversion program was created in 2016, but the city is considering “whether some of the guidelines needed to be established more clearly through an update to the city’s animal control ordinance,” and is soliciting community feedback, Lane stated.

Flagler complies with school safety law JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
The Flagler County School District is working to meet the requirements of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act passed after the school shooting in Parkland, plus a school-safety-related executive order issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office on Feb. 13. The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act, Senate Bill 7026, requires school safety officers at each school, new mental health services and mental health-related training, and safety assessments and safety drills at each school, among other requirements, and lays out timelines for districts to meet those new requirements. “I know that our team has worked really hard in putting all of these components together,” School Board member Colleen Conklin said at a School Board workshop Feb. 20, speaking by phone because she was sick. “Flagler County has been on this issue and takes it very, very seriously.” To meet the law’s requirements, Flagler Schools Director of Leadership Development Earl Johnson told the Flagler County School Board at the workshop, Flagler Schools has assigned a school resource deputy to each school, established school treat assessment teams and established a threat assessment team protocol, provided incident survival training to all students and staff, and held regular meetings with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. It has also trained staff to

keep classroom doors locked once class is in session, has been working to redesign school lobbies to make them safer, and is planning to add security film on school and classroom windows. The district has also taken a number of additional steps, including designating safe areas in each school, working to establish single points of entry, upgrading security cameras, working with the FCSO on the “See Something, Say Something” initiative, and holding first responders lunches, in which uniformed first responders can get lunch at a school. “We wanted to have more of a presence on our campus, and by them being on our campus ... we want them talking to our students, our students getting to know them … and having conversations with our students, as their schedules allow,” Johnson said. The initiative began Feb. 19. Conklin said she also wanted to make sure the district is preparing to comply with the new executive order, which looks at the effectiveness of school discipline diversion programs. “I do know that we have some, and that they work effectively,” Conklin said. The executive order requires the Department of Education and the Department of Juvenile Justice to conduct an audit of each school district to determine what diversion programs are in place, what their cost and eligibility requirements are, their impact on school safety, and whether they should be closed or regulated, according to a news release from Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office.

County selects interim administrator City plans interviews with Jerry Cameron was formerly an assistant county administrator in St. Johns County. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Jerry Cameron, formerly an assistant county administrator for community services in St. Johns County, will be Flagler County’s interim county administrator, starting Thursday, Feb. 20. He is replacing Craig Coffey, who was the county’s administrator from 2007 until his resignation in January 2019. The Flagler County Commission voted unanimously in a special meeting the afternoon of Feb. 18 to hire Cameron. Cameron left his previous position in St. Johns because he was in the state’s retirement system, according to his application packet. He is also owner of a consulting firm, Community Consulting and Management LLC, and was previously the police chief and city manager of Fernandina Beach, and the police chief of Irmo, South Carolina. He is a graduate of the FBI Academy at Quantico. County commissioners held open door interviews the morning of Feb. 18 of Cameron and another applicant, Ted Lakey, who had been the county administrator of Jackson County and Taylor County. Two other candidates on the county’s shortlist — former Apopka city administrator Glenn Irby and current Flagler County

Speaking at the special meeting, commissioners said they had been impressed with both candidates, but liked Cameron’s background. “For me, Mr. Cameron has a little extra checking off the boxes on experience with a coastal county and a larger county,” County Commission Chairman Donald O’Brien said. Commissioner Charlie Ericksen proposed hiring both men —

Despite one councilman’s push to end the city’s search for a city manager early and hire its sole internal candidate — interim City Manger Beau Falgout — the Palm Coast City Council will finish the hiring process as planned and interview six candidates, Falgout included, in the coming weeks. The six who will be interviewed are Falgout, Donald Kewley, James Drumm, Ken Kelly, Matthew Morton and Robin Hayes. When council members listed their top choices during a special meeting Feb. 19, Falgout was the only one who’d been chosen by all of the five council members. Morton had been selected by four, and Kewley, Drumm and Hayes had each been selected by three. “It’s no secret that I have strong feelings that Beau is our guy,” Councilman Jack Howell said at the meeting. “He’s bright; he’s articulate; he’s done a fantastic job filling in; he’s been in the city; he knows the stuff that goes on in the city. And obviously, we feel that he’s a good, strong contender. Let’s just cut the crap and go right out and just say ‘Beau, you’ve got it.’” Falgout, 38, has worked for the city for 12 years: He was assistant city manager until former City Manager Jim Landon was fired in
September 2018. He’d started as a planner. Morton was most recently the city administrator of Duvall, Washington. Kewley is operations manager for the city of Ashland, Oregon, and previously was a senior project manager for Pacific Gas and Electric. Drumm is city manager of Brunswick, Georgia, and was previously city manager of High Springs, Florida. Hayes is city manager of Mount Dora, Florida, and former city manager of Oviedo, Florida. Mayor Milissa Holland wanted to continue the process. “I really feel strongly that we have to see this through,” she said. “I just really want to make sure that we are vetting every single opportunity and making a thoughtful decision moving forward on what else could possibly be out there, and what we’re looking at.” Council members Eddie Branquinho, Bob Cuff and Nick Klufas agreed. Klufas said that even if the council chooses Falgout, it would be better to do so after having him compete against other candidates. Cuff said cutting the process short would be a disservice to Falgout even if he is selected, because he’d then have to counter the impression that he didn’t have to compete equally. “We need to show, publicly, that we have done the homework,” Cuff said.

one as an interim administrator, and one as an assistant administrator to replace former assistant county administrator Sally Sherman, who retired at the end of January. “I think there’s some savings to that,” Ericksen said. “Two people doing work for us at the same time are going to get us to the endpoint faster.” But other commissioners were not in favor. “I think it’s time to make a choice and pick a leader,” Commissioner Joe Mullins said. “I like both candidates, I agree, but I think it’s time to make a decision. ... It’s probably time to run lean and mean for a while, because we’ve got a lot of issues that are facing us.” Speaking after the meeting, Cameron mentioned some priorities for his time with the county. “I think everybody knows that the elephant in the room is the Sheriff’s Operations Center, and there’s got to be a resolution on that sooner rather than later,” he said. “We also have the Plantation Bay utility issue, and you’re finishing up a major beach renourishment project ... that needs to be brought to a successful conclusion. Perhaps the biggest thing is to go through, interview staff, and just find out how strong the bench is — I suspect that it’s pretty strong — and then I’ll allow these guys to stretch and display their skill sets, and let’s move the county forward.”

Trial begins in molestation case Michael Bowling is accused of molesting his teen stepdaughter’s friend during a sleepover. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
An 18-year-old woman took the witness stand at the county courthouse Feb. 19 to say that defendant Michael Bowling, now 48, had molested her when she stayed at his home for a sleepover visit with her friend, his stepdaughter, in June 2016, when both girls were 15. It was the second time she’s had to testify against him: Bowling was also tried in December, but the jury deadlocked, leading to a mistrial. Bowling is charged with lewd and lascivious molestation and lewd and lascivious exhibition. The victim said it had been her first time over at her friend’s home, in the Daytona North community in western Flagler County. The visit started normally: The girls watched TV, played with face masks, tried on homecoming dresses and listened to music. They were playing cards in the stepdaughter’s bedroom when Bowling came into the room at around 11 p.m. or midnight, after his wife had gone to sleep. Someone — the victim at one point said it was Bowling, and at another point said she was unsure — proposed that whoever had the losing hand for each round complete a “dare” proposed by the winner. When she lost, Bowling “dared” her, the victim said, to lift up her shirt. When she hesitated, she said, he pressured her, and she gave in.

Michael Craig Bowling speaks to his attorney, William Bookhammer, in court Feb. 19.
When she lost another round, he dared her to drop her pants — she did not — then told her to bare her breasts, which she did. At one point, “He said, ‘What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas’ … and not to tell anybody,” the victim said. Then, they played a game called “seven minutes of heaven,” in which two people would go into a closet with each other for seven minutes. “He said it would be weird if he went in with his stepdaughter, so it had to be me,” the victim said. There, she said, he put his mouth on her bare breasts. At one point that night, the two teens went into the kitchen to get water, the victim said, and her friend noticed that there was a bottle of champagne in the fridge, and began asking Bowling if she could have it. Bowling, the victim said, told the girls they’d have to “earn it.” He told his stepdaughter to give him a back rub — which, the vic-
tim said, the stepdaughter did — but then, the victim told the jury, “He said, ‘[the victim] over here isn’t helping.’” Bowling then took the victim into the closet, the victim said, and stimulated himself sexually. He then left, leaving the two teens with the champagne. Both girls drank, and the victim got sick: She’d never had alcohol before, she said. When she woke up at 7 or 8 in the morning, her friend was still asleep, and the family’s cars were gone. She didn’t have cell phone with her, so she downloaded a texting app onto the friend’s tablet and texted her grandmother to come get her, saying she was sick. She didn’t say anything about the molestation at the time. But a few months later, she told a school guidance counselor what happened. She was interviewed by detectives and Department of Children and Families staff, and FCSO crime scene investigation staff went to Bowling’s home and checked the bedroom closet for bodily fluids. They found semen, and it matched a DNA sample they collected from Bowling. Bowling’s public defender, William Bookhammer, said the girls’ testimony has been conflicting. “As it unfolds, you’re going see at least 10 to 15 inconsistencies ... describing the same event, but in drastically different ways,” he said. The jury was not told Feb. 19 that Bowling is also facing a series of charges for allegedly sexually abusing his stepdaughter. The trial began Monday, Feb. 18, with jury selection and is expected to end on Friday, Feb. 22.
Rep. Michael Waltz addresses Flagler County JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Rep. Michael Waltz, the U.S. congressman representing Florida’s sixth congressional district, told Flagler County residents and commissioners during a Flagler County Commission meeting Feb. 18 that he would fight for the Flagler area. Waltz, a Republican, is an Army lieutenant colonel (currently in the reserves) and former Green Beret, a former White House policy advisor and a small business owner. He was elected to the seat vacated by former congressman and current Gov. Ron DeSantis, and serves on the congressional Space Committee and Armed Services Committee. Waltz spoke for about 10 minutes at the commission meeting, listing his priorities as a freshman congressman representing Flagler County, Volusia County, and portions of St. Johns County and Lake County. “One of the things that I want to get done is in regards to transportation and infrastructure,” Waltz said. “There’s 1,000 people a day coming to Florida, and the infrastructure, I think, as we know, is straining to keep up.” The highway reauthorization bill is supposed to move through both houses in 2020, he said. “Don’t know if that’s going to happen, but if it does happen, then I want to work very hard to get some things this area needs, and I’ll look for all of your input.”

Waltz also emphasized the importance of water quality initiatives. “We have to have clean water, bottom line,” he said. One initiative, he said, is septic-to-sewer transitions, “as we have aging septic tanks that need to move into sewer systems. ... Water’s first and foremost. That’s our economic driver; that’s our way of life.” Waltz said other issues he’s focusing on include school choice, veterans’ issues and small government. “I believe authority should be powered down as close to the people as possible,” he said. “Things are handled differently in Flagler than they are in Montana than they are in Alaska than they are in, say, downtown L.A. So, as much as possible, I don’t like one-sizefits-all solutions coming from D.C. But we have resources that you all need that my job is to help you all get to serve our community and to serve our constituents.”

SPORTS Before Matanzas’ boys lacrosse team took to the field to face Flagler Palm Coast in the 2019 season opener on Tuesday, Feb. 19, the Pirates set the goal of beating their crosstown rival by at least 20. The Pirates didn’t meet their goal. Instead, they obliterated the Bulldogs 19-5. Matanzas coach Efrain Gutierrez said entering Tuesday night’s game was “a little bit nerve wracking,” however. The Pirates squeaked out an 8-5 win in a preseason match on Thursday, Feb. 14, against St. Joseph Academy, a school in St. Augustine that didn’t have a lacrosse program prior to this season. The Pirates were also without several starters due to illness. And, to top it all off, the Pirates are tasked with figuring out who will step up in the place of last year’s graduating class, which includes several athletes who now play lacrosse in college. “Our culture hasn’t changed, and the guys know that,” Gutierrez said. “They want to make sure that they’re making those guys who graduated last year proud.” Matanzas’ Seth Leister and Korvin Brey each stepped up against the Bulldogs, scoring five goals apiece. Brey netted a hat trick with 2:59 to play in the first period, and Leister scored his third goal with 4:44 to play in the second period. The Pirates’ Alex Anderson scored his third goal with 3.7 seconds remaining in the half, giving the Pirates a commanding 14-2 lead over the Bulldogs. “We went out there with the mentality to score as much as we possibly could,” Leister said. The Bulldogs made a short run in the third period, scoring three straight goals to cut the deficit to 14-5. Brey’s fourth goal late in the third period helped the Pirates regain their double-digit lead, which was never relinquished. “I was just so pumped up,” he said. “Playing FPC, I just wanted to do something big.” The Pirates lost the district championship to bitter rival St. Augustine in heart-breaking fashion a season ago. That defeat is fuel for the remainder of this season and beyond. “We don’t want to experience that again,” Leister said. “We want to put some hardware back on the shelf at Matanzas.”

The Prospects’ Dayvaughn Boothe drives to the hoop for a layup.
Tied at 21 with 20 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves’ Izaiah Morris had the ball in his hands. With two defenders between him and the basket, Morris spun around and flung the ball with his right hand over his head. The ball dangled over the edge of the rim before casually dropping through the basket. The Flagler County Basketball Program hosted its league championships on the afternoon of Saturday, Feb. 16, at the Carver Recreation Center in Bunnell. The Timberwolves won for Division I, the Titans won for Division II and
the Knicks won for Division III. “Today was just all these kids’ hard work coming together” said Fitzgerald Belgrave, the program’s director. “These kids worked hard from Day 1 all the way until now.” The season started in October and consisted of 10 regular season games. The spring season starts in March and lasts until June. “It’s a proud moment watching them develop,” Belgrave said. “This is going to be one of those things they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.”

A
s Palm Coast residents Steven and Margaret D’Errico stood on top of the steps at the Flagler County Courthouse, they said “I do” for the second time. They weren’t renewing their vows; they were reciting new ones. After being married for 20 years, the D’Erricos were separated for 1 1/2 years, then divorced for six months, before realizing life without each other wasn’t really living. “We fell back in love, worked in intensive therapy and here we are — in love again,” said Steven D’Errico. They learned that communication and respect were the keys to marriage. “We loved each other and had two beautiful children, but we took each other for granted,” Steven D’Errico said. “This time it’s forever,” Margaret D’Errico added. Tom Bexley, Flagler County clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, led the ceremony for the 11 couples gathered at the courthouse to get married on Thursday, Feb. 14, along with the five couples renewing their vows. The Flagler County Youth Orchestra set the tone for the second-annual event, and guests SEE MATRIMONY PAGE 20

PALM COAST FEATURED IN ‘WHERE TO RETIRE’ MAGAZINE Palm Coast has been selected as a top retirement destination by “Where to Retire,” the only magazine in the U.S. geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions, according to a press release. The city is profiled in the March/April 2019 issue, available nationwide now. “Year-round warm weather along with beaches, a river and lake add to the lifestyle in this northeastern Florida community, developed as one of the state’s first master-planned neighborhoods in the early 1970s,” Retire Editor Annette Fuller said in the news release. “Folks enjoy an active outdoorsy lifestyle here, enjoying time on a championship golf course or the planks of a fishing pier. Its proximity to Hammock, St. Augustine and Crescent beaches as well as the recently opened Latitude Margaritaville Daytona Beach makes it a popular retirement locale still today.”
Single day tickets start at $10 per person, and three-day ticket options are available including a three-day VIP Gold package that includes dinner Friday evening and an after-show meet and greet with the writers. Sponsorships are also available. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Daytona State College Foundation and the Palm Coast Arts Foundation. At both venues of the Palm Coast Songwriters Festival, there is a covered area, and the show will go on rain or shine. The Daytona State College Palm Coast Amphitheater is located at 3000 Palm Coast Parkway SE. The Palm Coast Arts Foundation stage is located at 1500 Central Ave. in Town Center.

• The County is considering allowing Captain’s BBQ to expand by building a 150 seat 5,200 SF restaurant with a full bar in the park. Captain’s has already expanded 3 times from 40 seats 1500 SF in ‘11 to 100 seats 4,500 SF in ’16. Parking for Captain’s already consumes 50% of the available public parking. Taxpayers will be responsible for $2M in additional infrastructure. • Public pressure has caused the County to reconsider. We would like to see Captain’s stay the same size & seating capacity and in the same location. Let’s not turn Bing’s into a small park with a large restaurant. Help us protect the environment and this historic site for future generations to enjoy.

IN MEMORY OF A
LOVED ONE
PALM COAST OBSERVER
PalmCoastObserver.com
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.
Grace Lucille Lippert April 15, 1932 March 13, 2018
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. 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.
Anthonynot Lucca only to notify The Observer offers obituaries to Our Team
Wilbur and Grace honeymooned in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada before establishing their home in Elmhurst, Illinois where Grace taught reading to students in elementary schools in Lombard, Illinois during the 1958-1959 school year. She then switched careers, becoming a mother to Muriel Jean on February 10, 1960 and Nancy Ann on July 31, 1962. She loved being a mother and was a very loving and devoted mother, always cheering on her girls.The Lippert family became lifelong fans of Roberto’s Pizza in Elmhurst, Illinois as a result of Grace’s work as a cashier at Roberto’s from 1963 - 1967. Grace returned to her first love, medicine, and began a 30-year career when she started working as an aide in the surgery department at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois in 1967. In 1970 she completed classes and passed her national certification exam to be a Certified Surgical Technologist. As she studied, her children also learned many medical terms. In 1990, she completed certification in Sterile Processing and helped set up the new Sterile Processing unit at the hospital. She moved to the Endoscopy Unit in 1992 from which she retired in 1997 completing 30 years of service.

As the years went on she welcomed 5 grandchildren with great joy and spent much time with them after retirement. Whether visiting Emma and Eric in North Dakota or Lauren, Alex and Maureen in Florida or them visiting she and Grandpa in Elmhurst, every moment spent with them was a treasure to her. She was delighted to become a great grandmother on May 8, 2017. In the late 1990s they were able to purchase a second home in Palm Coast, Florida and have enjoyed spending time there in the winter, being close to Nancy and her family and making new friends. Grace frequently checked on her neighbors at Kings Colony, whether she was in Florida or back in Elmhurst. They considered her a blessing.

Flagler Matters.
Grace and Wilbur have both been grounded in their faith in God, being active members of Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elmhurst, IL their entire married life. They both have a deep sense of call to serve others. They have often welcomed others to live in their home with them and have worked for the benefit of others in many and various ways their whole lives. Whether it be driving someone to a dentist appointment or the grocery store or serving up some coffee and cookies or banana bread along with a listening ear, they have both always had a heart that cares about others. Jesus said “I came not to be served, but to serve” and they have followed Jesus’ example. Grace is survived by her loving husband of almost 60 years: Wilbur Lippert; two daughters and their families: The Rev. Muriel J. Lippert of Williston, ND and her children - Emma Bernice (Michael) Berg of Wilton, ND and Eric Paul Schauer of Fayetteville, Arkansas; Nancy (John) Walsh and their children - Lauren Aileen (Byron) Lewis of West Melbourne, Florida, Alexander James Walsh & Fiancée Christine Ghlain of Atlanta, Georgia, Maureen Grace Walsh of Palm Coast, Florida and one great granddaughter - Harper Aileen Lewis.

Lucentio, played by Daniel Conard, tutors Bianca, Agata Sokolska, in an attempt to win her over.
illiam Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” will take on a new light with a mid-1960s setting, for the second-annual Shakespeare in the Park in Palm Coast. After a successful first year with “Macbeth,” the Palm Coast Arts Foundation and City Repertory Theatre have collaborated again for the show, which will be set on the PCAF stage located in Town Center. Director John Sbordone, of CRT, said the decade choice will help the audience appreciate Katherina’s wild tendencies and understand how she mellows
after receiving affection from her suitor, Petruchio. “One of the things that we were looking for is how to make Kate palatable for the modern female audience, because the taming of the shrew was, in its time, just that,” Sbordone said, as Kate is called a “shrew” for not being marriage material from a male perspective at the time. “We were looking for a time period that would allow for color, that would allow for a way of looking at Kate from two different perspectives. So, I picked the mid-’60s where we’d have a clash between what
we used to call ‘the moral majority’ and the counter-culture — the beginning of the hippies and the feminist movement.” Shakespeare’s comedic lines are enhanced by the ’60s colors and tone throughout the show, said Palm Coast resident Angela Young, who plays Biondello. “The way we’re physically presenting the show, between the costumes and the music and the physical interactions between the character, we’re bringing meaning to the words,” Young said. Kate’s sister, Bianca, is portrayed as the picture of beauty,

hard to perfect the Old English dialogue. “I definitely can confirm that Shakespeare is meant to be heard and seen, not just read,” she said. Sbordone said ticket sales have come in earlier than last year’s inaugural performance. “I think the theater culture is growing in Palm Coast, which is amazing,” Sokolska said. “I think Palm Coast is a very special place.

Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. Offer not available to Private Banking, Wealth, Business Banking or Wholesale customers. 2. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 01/21/2019 and 03/22/2019. The 11-month New Dollar CD special requires a minimum of $25,000 brought to Wells Fargo from sources outside of Wells Fargo Bank N.A., or its affiliates to earn the advertised APY. Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A fee for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the Special Rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. Due to the new money requirement, accounts may only be opened at your local branch. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Offer cannot be combined with any other consumer deposit offer. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed.

Palm Coast chef teaches adults how to cook healthy foods PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR
As a chef, Susan Cohen has a passion for helping others be less intimidated of cooking healthy foods. Through Flagler Adult Education, Cohen teaches a healthy cooking class every Thursday at the A1A Center, located at 5633, Oceanshore Blvd. Before Cohen started her own health journey over 30 years ago, she was eating an “American standard diet,” she said. “I was having health problems,” Cohen said. “I was a yoga instructor. I was getting sick; every week I had a cold and I thought, ‘Something is going on.’ One of the women in my yoga class happened to be a cooking teacher and we said, ‘Let’s exchange.’ So, I started taking cooking classes with her.” She was hooked. Her sickness
The classes are part of the Flagler Adult Education program. began to fade away and she realized that a healthy lifestyle filled with real ingredients and whole foods was responsible for this change. “I lost weight; I had more energy,” Cohen said. “I got more creative, so it gave me the ability to go out and share this with people. So, that I’m grateful for.” Cohen moved in Palm Coast in 2011, and she started cooking classes with Flagler Adult Education not long after. She also conducts yoga sessions and the silver sneakers club around town. During one of her cooking classes in January at the A1A Center, about a dozen adult students watched and asked ques-

tions while Cohen demonstrated how to massage and sauté garlicy kale and red onions, as well as roast butternut squash with pine nuts. An aroma of spices filled the kitchen as dishes were made — before they were enjoyed by the students the end of the class. “I just talk to people and make

them aware about these different foods,” Cohen said. “Maybe they never made a squash before or maybe they never massaged the kale to make it a salad. So, I’m showing and introducing it to people in a gentle way and have them add to their repertoire of their recipes that they know, so that they become aware and not feel like they’re being restricted. I try not to tell people not to eat this or that, because right away people have a conflict. So, I want
people to be able to just choose different things.” One of the cooking students, Palm Coast resident David Fowlkes, said his wife, Leona, wants him to change up his diet from southern comfort food. “You’re getting older and you want to be here as long as you can,” he said. Mary McCrohan was motivated to take this class after moving to Palm Coast from San Francisco six years ago. She said she needs to learn how to cook healthy because there aren’t as many healthy restaurants here as there was in California. Ormond By the Sea resident Jodie Von Gal said Cohen’s energy made the class especially enjoyable. “It just inspires me, so that I go home and break out of my own comfort zone and try something new,” Von Gal said. Cohen is always blown away by her student’s appreciation for her classes. “I’m so grateful, I love it,” Cohen said. “I think that’s how you stay healthy and stay young.”

Optimism. A powerful element in fighting cancer. When Desert Storm veteran Lynette Bell’s follicular lymphoma went into remission, she chased her dreams to Florida and pursued a career in photography. However, during a routine doctor’s visit here, she learned her cancer had returned. Fortunately, she had access to Phase 1 clinical trials at Florida Cancer Specialists. In the past 4 years, the majority of new cancer drugs approved for use in the U.S. were studied in clinical trials with Florida Cancer Specialists participation. Today, Lynette’s cancer has surrendered, proving that when hope and science join forces, great outcomes can happen. “My team at Florida Cancer Specialists cared for my individual situation with the clinical trial I needed.”

A memorial service will be held Saturday, February 23, 2019, 12 Noon at Clymer Funeral Home, 39 Old Kings Highway, Palm Coast, FL. In lieu of flowers, the family asks friends to consider making a donation to the American Heart Association in Larry’s name (http://www2.heart.org/goto/LarryFerris).

to have restaurants sign packs to reduce food waste in their own kitchens and donate unused food to food pantries, such as the Flagler Beach United Methodist Church food pantry, through collection efforts organized by “Waste Not Want Not.” “By working together with these restaurants, we’ve been able to forward hundreds of dollars of food to people in need,” Cameron said. Student Samantha Stone said the group’s idea to place donation bins at the Palm Coast Community Center and Flagler County Public Library in Palm Coast has also helped collect nonperishables for food pantries. “A large part of the project is making it more convenient for

people to donate food,” Cameron said. Student Jackson Castañeda said the group’s trip to Tallahassee proved to be a success when they received enthusiastic support from members of the Florida Board of Education. Madelin added that one of the curriculum directors they met with at the capitol is planning to send the curriculum the group created to health teachers around the state, as well. Student Lucy Noble noted the group’s experience participating in the Holiday at the Beach Parade in Flagler Beach and the Palm Coast Starlight Parade, which featured a float the group made with Santa Claus’ compost garden.

“Waste Not Want Not” is also creating a children’s book to help instill anti-food-waste principles in youth. The group’s efforts won’t fade once the members go on to high school next year though, as they’re hoping to work with some seventh-graders to continue maintaining elements like the share table, the greenhouses and the composters. Ultimately, the group just wants to help their peers and the planet. “We should be making an effort to make sure food goes to our needs, not just in the trash,” Cameron said.

and put it inside of those and that’ll actually reduce some of the greenhouse gases that are produced from food waste in general, from landfills,” student Kevin Wolfe said. With ITMS being home to a flagship focused on environmental sciences, the greenhouses and composters will also create more hands-on learning experiences for students, student Cameron Driggers said. Going beyond the home of the Mustangs, the group has attended every First Friday event in Flagler Beach since September with their project board and flyers to spread awareness about food waste. The group has partnered with about a dozen local businesses, including the Golden Lion Cafe,
Puzzle One Clue: T equals M
A team of 10 eighth-graders at Indian Trails Middle School have joined forces to be waste warriors. “Waste Not Want Not” was created as the students’ Community Problem Solvers project to tackle the problem of food waste from every angle — reducing waste at their school, breaking waste down without in eco-friendly methods and encouraging community businesses to make a step toward reducing their own carbon footprint. Starting at their own school, the group created a share table in the cafeteria to not only reduce food waste, but also give their peers an opportunity to eat more at lunch, if needed. “If kids have something on their tray for lunch that they don’t want they can put it in our bins or the cooler, if it’s milk, juice or frozen fruit,” student Madelin Sims said. “Kids who want something else can come up to the food table and take it for themselves.” Step outside the cafeteria, walk toward the back of the school campus and one can see the beginnings stages of the construction of two greenhouses, which will have composters around them — funded by donations from local businesses. “We’re going to actually bring some of our school’s food waste
