Feeling helpless after the Parkland massacre?

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The Parkland massacre has inspired many people to propose ways to prevent future school shootings. Among the solutions are 1) increasing resources to improve students’ mental health; 2) making it harder for people to obtain powerful weapons; 3) encouraging teachers and administrators to be armed at school, if they feel comfortable doing so; 4) increasing the numbers of trained law enforcement officers at schools; 5) installing metal detectors at schools. There is a lot of contention in our country about which approach is best, but there is no need to choose just one. We should do all of the above. It is the price we must pay to keep our kids safe in the future. But I’m feeling helpless now. What can I do about it today? First, I can contact my elected officials and tell them how I feel. Second, I can find inspiration from two local women. High school senior Hannah Harriso cut out 3,250 paper hearts, wrote a message like “You are loved” on each one

and taped them to every locker at Spruce Creek High School, in Port Orange. As she told Port Orange Observer reporter Nichole Osinski, “We can always be a light. The simplest things can make someone’s day.” Then there is a Spanish teacher named Christina Gilliam, in Palm Coast. She launched a new event called the International Hispanic Festival, at Indian Trails Middle School. Gilliam told the crowd at the event that she hoped everyone would learn one lesson from the festival: “Everybody is different, but we are all the same.” Neither Harrison nor Gilliam took action as a response to the Parkland shooting; they were preparing to spread love and understanding months earlier. But their actions could have a greater impact in the long term than any gun control legislation or metal detector ever could. If we can put an arm around those who are struggling, those who are lonely, those who feel alienated, and make them feel instead that they matter, that they have reason to hope, that they are included in the community, then we will be getting at the root of the problem. Legislators must do their part and pass better gun laws. But there is no reason to feel helpless as we wait. Like Harrison and Gilliam, each of us can contribute today. What will you do?

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

ourteen artists came together in 1978 with a mission to create an art community in Flagler County. Now, 40 years later, the Flagler County Art League has over 450 members, including a board of directors, artists, art lovers and volunteers.

‘Creative minds’ The impact and growth of the Flagler County Art League since its start in 1978.

THE PAST

When Thea M. Hein-Mathen became one of the founding members of FCAL, she was a 22-year-old returning home after studying art history at the University of Florida. “I was fresh out of college and didn’t know what direction to go,” Hein-Mathen said. FCAL guided her during her first few years back in Flagler County, as the group met once a month to talk technique, show their work and create an arts community. “Flagler County definitely needed a club,” she said. “There was nothing here. There were all these people moving in that had all these varied interests, as you can see now. Back then, there was just a number of us that were just into art, period. It was the be-all and end-all kind of thing.” FCAL’s current president, Ann DeLucia, has been involved with

the art league since moving to Flagler County in 2004. “For 30 years, we were homeless; we were gypsies,” DeLucia said. “We would have two shows a year at the Community Center. We would have workshops maybe four times a year at the Hammock Community Center.” In 2008, FCAL was given use of a second-floor classroom in the brand-new Matanzas High School building for one year. After the student population grew, the league moved to rent a storefront on Old Kings Road. In 2010, the league began renting a space in City Marketplace, where it’s still located today at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite 207C. “That’s when we really became the family that comes here every day, that comes here for classes once a week, that volunteers and does things like membership and website and all that,” DeLucia said.

THE PRESENT

DeLucia said there were 150 members when the nonprofit moved into City Market Place. With over 450 members now, she said FCAL has proved it has longevity and a tenacity to continue growing. “The value is we have an opportunity for people to know the arts are important, that they can participate in the arts, that they can come and see art done by their friends and community members, that we can go out and promote the arts to the business world and say these are economic benefits to you,” DeLucia said. Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland said there is a direct tie between cultural opportunities for residents and economic development strategy. “When we’re talking about how we’re attracting different types of companies or different busi-

nesses to open their doors in our community, they always want to know what the quality of life is,” Holland said. “And that quality of life, oftentimes, means what type of opportunities are afforded to us to be able to go out and enjoy an evening of events, to have our creative juices flowing through different organizations.” FCAL focuses not only on giving opportunities to local artists, but also on inspiring the next generation of painters, sculptors and photographers. FCAL holds an annual high school art show to recognize local talent from Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high schools. “It definitely fosters the creative minds within our students, within our youth,” Holland said. “I know that they’ve captured a lot of local talent that have gone on to do extraordinary things outside of our boundaries. It’s a sense of pride for us.” THE FUTURE

DeLucia said FCAL’s next goal is to own — not just rent — a space to call home. She said the county needs an arts council that would be responsible for getting grants for the visual arts community. She voiced her concern that FCAL is underserved by the county and city financially, and that support from both levels in the future would help FCAL obtain its own property. “I know, for myself, we’re always looking for opportunities to collaborate and coordinate, in particular, with the organizations that are housed here in Palm Coast,” Holland said. “I look forward to having those conversations not only in the near future, but over the years, so (FCAL) can continue to grow.”

The Flagler County School Board will meet March 6 in executive session to discuss school safety options in the wake of the shooting that killed 17 people at Parkland High School. The meeting will be closed to the public so that board members can discuss sensitive safety issues, Board Chairman Trevor Tucker said. District Superintendent James Tager posted a message to local parents on the district’s webpage after the Feb. 14 shooting, writing, “It is important to keep in mind that an event like this is rare and that schools are one of the safest places for children and youth during the school day. Should you choose to talk with your children about these events, it may help to emphasize that schools are safe places and that all schools conduct drills to ensure safety.”

The shooting has rattled some local kids. A 13-year-old girl, her grandmother wrote in a message to the Observer, had spent much of a recent school dance with her friends planning where they would run or hide if there were a school shooter. The 13-year-old, Gracielou Weed, came home in tears and then wrote a message about school safety on Facebook, tagging the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, state Attorney General Pam Bondi, Sen. Marco Rubio, Gov. Rick Scott, President Donald Trump and various news stations. “I want somebody to do something about school safety,” she wrote. “Today, I was worried out of my mind that a shooting could happen anytime. Then I went to our school dance and was worried there, too.” Government buildings, she noted, have armed security guards, bullet proof, glass metal detectors. “If we can have these

sorts of security and safety measures for our government buildings, offices, banks, courthouses etc., then why can’t schools have them too? Shouldn’t we as children be considered as important to protect its patrons and you government officials?” The school district has school resource officers and uses a computer system called the Raptor Visitor Management System to screen visitors entering the school grounds. But that system, which scans visitors’ driver licenses and searches for associated records through a database, focuses on identifying child predators, sex offenders and individuals who have a restraining order of child custody restriction. School Board member Colleen Conklin suggested during a Feb. 20 board workshop that the district revisit its safety options. She will also discuss the issue at 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 23, on WNZF.

“Flagler County is where my children are growing up,” Mullins said in the news release. “I want it to be a place where they can come back in 15 or 20 years, start a family, and continue the cycle in a beautiful place with unlimited opportunities.” Mullins said his focus will be on public safety, growing the economy by attracting highpaying jobs, and maintaining the high quality of life in Flagler County. The other County Commission seat up for election this year is the District 2 seat currently held by Greg Hansen, who was appointed to that position by Gov. Rick Scott in January 2017 after the death of then-commissioner Frank Meeker. Hansen, a Republican, has filed for election and has been challenged by Dustin Savage, a construction consultant who serves on the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization and who is running as a no-party-affiliation candidate.

The eagles who call the nest home on the Loop Road in Princess Place Preserve have two eaglets that have hatched last week “The chicks are too small to be seen from our viewing area,” said Joe Dziak, who along with his wife Judie have been monitoring the nest for 20 years and counting. “It takes about a week for them to gain enough strength to be seen upright in the nest when the parents are feeding them.” There was no brood last year, as the new female eagle was unready to breed. The Dziaks – members of the Florida Audubon Eagle Watch Program – are at Princess Place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays from the end of November until sometime in May when the eagles leave the area for the season. “We are very fortunate to have the Dziaks in our area,” said Parks Manager Frank Barbuti.

County aligns with Matanzas students request — and Jacksonville for trade get — law and justice program The JaxPort FTZ has offered to help the county market the zone designation to help attract businesses.

The program would involve internships, a mock trial team, and a police explorer program. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County plans to join the Northeast Florida Foreign Trade Zone — called JaxPort — in a realignment away from the Volusia Foreign Trade Zone service area, which it’s part of currently. Foreign trade zones, or FTZs, let certain importers defer or eliminate customs duties and taxes on their imports. A U.S. foreign trade zone is a place in the U.S. that is considered outside U.S. Customs territory, JaxPort Manager Lisa Diaz told county commissioners during a Feb. 19 workshop. Items can remain in the FTZ without the payment of duties or customs until they’re brought to market. That lets manufacturers and other companies bring in, for example, extra project equipment that may not be needed, or products that require testing before being brought to market, without paying duties on materials they may not actually use or sell. “This is another tool that we need to have and use in our economic development attraction efforts,” County Commissioner Donald O’Brien said during the

County Commissioner David Sullivan speaks during a Feb. 19 commission workshop.

workshop. “Alignment with the Port, I think, is a better option for us than going down south to Volusia County. I think this relationship will bring much better options for us.” The county began considering joining JaxPort after the Volusia Foreign Trade Zone, which is not currently active, proposed a restructuring that would place the trade zone’s management under the authority of the Volusia County Department of Economic Opportunity. Flagler County businesses’ applications to join the FTZ would then be subject to Volusia County approval. Volusia County requested Flagler provide a letter of concurrence with the reorganization, but Flagler County staff researched options and determined that joining JaxPort, which has its port of entry at the Jacksonville Port Authority and has been active since 1969, would be better for the county.

Flagler Schools students who want to be police officers, sheriff’s office deputies, 9-1-1 dispatchers, attorneys or judges will get an opportunity to train for their dream jobs at a new flagship program Flagler Schools plans to open at Matanzas High School. Matanzas already has a police explorers program and a legal team, and students approached principal Jeff Reaves with ideas for the new flagship program. “It’s really come very organically, and I think that’s a good sign,” Reaves told the School Board during a Feb. 20 workshop. “You’re not trying to force something to happen when it bubbles from the students up.” The law and justice flagship program would give students a four-year opportunity to study policing, criminal justice and the law. Internships with local agencies would give students a chance to see what they’re learning in the real world. Students attended the School Board workshop with Reaves to present their proposal, which they researched and put together, creating a proposed budget and visiting two other schools that have similar programs to see how they’re run. The proposed program at

Matanzas would incorporate a teen court program in an on-campus classroom, a mock trial team, the police explorer program, internships, victim advocate training and SkillsUSA Forensic training. School staff is exploring dual enrollment opportunities for students, and the Sheriff’s Office has offered up several old 9-1-1 dispatch stations for students to use for practice. Speaking of the proposal to move teen court programs to Matanzas, School Board member Colleen Conklin noted that teens in such programs she’s seen in other districts can be particularly tough judges of their peers. But creating such a program can also improve students’ discipline, she said. “I think when students begin to see they’re accountable to their peers, it’s different than adults imposing those rules on them,” she said. The new flagship program will begin taking students in the coming school year, and students and school staff have been preparing for it since the beginning of the current school year, collecting data on student performance and gathering materials. The program would be divided into two tracks with different course requirements — a justice track focused on policing, and a law track.

Students in both tracks would take four criminal justice classes, but law track students would take Advanced Placement Language and Advanced Placement U.S. government, while justice track students would take Writing I, Writing II and an industry certification exam for 9-1-1 dispatchers. The students have proposed a budget of $12,083 for the program this year, most of it in the form of two 30-unit sets of textbooks, totaling $9,400, plus two DSLR cameras and a classroom audio enhancement system called Achiever. The teens expect the program to cost another $1,536 next year — for textbooks and a mock trial competition — and $3,961 in the following year, mostly for new textbooks for more advanced classes.

“It’s really come very organically, and I think that’s a good sign. You’re not trying to force something to happen when it bubbles from the students up.” JEFF REAVES, Matanzas High School principal

State shouldn’t loosen background check requirements for gun purchases

Are we really safer with a mentally ill person carrying a concealed weapon?

Dear Editor: A we mourn for the 17 young lives lost this week, I am reading about a part of a bill, currently in front of the Florida Senate (Senate Bill 740), which proposes the granting of concealed weapons permits before background checks are completed. The proposed law, sponsored by Kelli Stargil (Republican-Lakeland), would allow individuals who have not completed a background check to purchase and carry a concealed weapon before their fitness to do so is determined by the state. Now before I am accused being anti-gun, anti- 2nd Amendment, I am not. I am simply pro common sense. Ask yourselves: Who benefits from this? If someone eventually fails the background check, who is responsible for retrieving that weapon? How would you feel if the person next to you — at the supermarket, the movies, the social club — is carrying a concealed weapon without having cleared a background check? Gun advocates say that all we need to do is enforce the laws currently on the books. Yes, that would help, but politicians seem intent on gutting those laws. Remember that one of the first things President Trump did when he took office was to do away with the Obama law that prevented the mentally ill from acquiring guns.

City shouldn’t narrow Whiteview Parkway Dear Editor: I read the recent article regarding proposed changes to Whiteviewiew Parkway, and fail to understand the logic of why the city would want to reduce the western section of this road from four traffic lanes to two lanes.

Considering the increased level of traffic in this area, why would the city want to consider this plan? Our roads

Dear Editor: I am A.J. Grasso, a local Boy Scout here in Flagler County, part of Troop 472. For one of my requirements, I am writing to you in regard to putting an article in the paper. The article I would like to see is about the the lack of streetlights and sidewalks in the neighborhoods of Palm Coast. There have been many accidents involving drivers and pedestrians over the past year. Since Jan. 1, 2017, our very own Flagler County Sheriff’s Office conducted over 3,000 traffic stops, resulting in 1,647 citations, and 917 of those citations are warnings. We have seen many people get injured, even killed, throughout the past eight years. A tragic one to me is the one that happened on Aug. 21, 2011, when Kirt Allen Smith was struck by a car and killed because of the lack of streetlights on Seminole Woods Parkway. This isn’t the only major one that has happened. There has been one just last year with Colby Gray getting struck by a school bus. As of June 10, 2017, Daniel Torres, resident here in Palm Coast, was struck head-on by a vehicle on Old Kings Road. Students going home from school every day from the bus stop or walking home are afraid to walk on the side of the road because they think someone is going to hit them. I, a student at Flagler Palm Coast High School, walk in the grass everyday from the bus stop because of some of the drivers here in Palm Coast. Sidewalks are a must in every city neighborhood because of the safety of the citizens.

George Kay Allison, 74, of Palm Coast, FL died February 14, 2018. He was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, raised in Swampscott, MA and was the third child to Dr. Richmond Woodbury Allison and Dorothy Kay (MacLennan) Allison. He is survived by his elder sister Mary Jane Gilbert of Revere, MA and predeceased by his elder brother, Richmond Woodbury Allison, Jr., of Wolfeboro, NH. George was educated at Valley Forge Academy in Valley Forge, PA as well as The Forman School in Litchfield, CT. He went on to receive his B.A. from Union College in Kentucky and later his M.A. from Trinity College in CT.

A devoted family man, George was married to Ana Lucia (Lucy) Allison in Litchfield, CT in 1969 and father to two daughters who love him to no ends, Nicole Kay Allison of Stamford, CT and Sage Allison (Ed) Kroell of Roswell, GA. George was also the beloved grandfather of two boys, George Edward Ramon Kroell, 9 and Harry Nichols Xavier Kroell, 6, to whom he has passed on his love for all things Red Sox and Patriots.

County to oppose two bills and suggest change to a third

NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County is opposing two bills currently making their way through the state legislative process, and is recommending changes to a third. One of the bills, Senate Bill 1828, bars employers from firing or penalizing employees who miss work because of a hurricane evacuation. But the bill is worded broadly: Employers, it states, can take no adverse action against employees who are absent up to two weeks after a mandatory evacuation order affecting their residence or workplace. “This bill is poorly written, and it has all these loopholes,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said during a Feb. 19 workshop. “It opens us up to all these problems responding to a hurricane.” For instance, he said, an employee who does not live in a place subject to an evacuation order could get two weeks off work simply because their workplace was under an evacuation order. And although first responders and certain other employees would not be subject to the proposed law, other staff members who would be important to government functioning could be — for example, the staff members working on storm-related finan-

cial matters. “They’re not normally what you would consider a first responder, but they’re just as critical,” Coffey said. The county is also opposing House Bill 7087, which would reduce the aviation fuel tax to 2.85 cents per gallon from the 4.27 rate set to go into effect on July 1, 2019. The change’s immediate impact would be on airlines, not the private planes that fly into Flagler County Executive Airport. But it would have an indirect effect. “The amount of money that the FAA has that we can tap into is going to go down,” Commission Chairman Greg Hansen said. That would mean the FAA would be less able to finance projects like the local airport’s recent runway addition.

A three-vehicle crash on State Road 100 west of Bunnell left two dead and three seriously injured on the night of Friday, Feb. 16. Jennifer McFann, 48, of Crescent City, was traveling west on State Road 100. Ahead of her, 43-year-old Bunnell resident Ralph Pellicer and his passengers, 35-year-old Holly Hill resident Jobe Podach and 26-year-old Bunnell resident Cody Iglesias, were stopped in the westbound lane to turn onto County Road 35. McFann never slowed down.

Her 2015 Hyundai Accent struck the rear of Pellicer’s 2000 Chevy S-10. McFann, forced right, hit the guardrail. Pellicer was pushed into the eastbound lane of State Road 100. Miraj Patel, 18, of Ormond Beach, was unable to avoid impact. Patel’s 2015 Chevy Silverado hit Pellicer’s vehicle head-on. Pellicer’s vehicle spun, causing the driver and one of the passengers to be ejected. Patel’s vehicle overturned into a ditch. Pellicer and Podach were killed. McFann, Iglesias and Patel’s passenger, 19-year-old Ormond Beach resident August Deberri, were taken to Halifax Health with serious injuries. Patel suffered minor injuries.

The county is also opposing the current iteration of House Bill 7085, which concerns health care disaster preparedness. “This bill overall is a good bill,” Coffey said. “There’s overall just a few changes we would make.” The bill requires the involvement of county staff in the management of a registry of special needs shelters — which, Coffey said, could potentially expose some county employees to health information they don’t need to be privy to. The county plans to send a letter to its state representatives laying out the county’s position on the three bills.

Man charged with bathing child in boiling water A Palm Coast man is charged with felony child abuse for allegedly bathing his young son in boiling water, beating him and striking him with a switch, according to an arrest report. The suspect, 26-year-old Deviaun Toler, brought the boy to Florida Hospital Flagler Feb. 14 with “severe injuries all over his body, including bruising to his chest, back and a burn to his arm. (The boy) also had a fractured skull and brain swelling,” according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office case report. The child was taken from Florida Hospital Flagler to Wolfson Children’s Hospital because his injuries were lifethreatening. Hospital staff alerted the Department of Children and Families, which alerted the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, which arrested Toler Feb. 15. It was three to four weeks ago that Toler bathed the boy in boiling water and with a washcloth soaked in boiling water, leaving a large burn on the child’s right shoulder and arm, according to the arrest report. But Toler, at the time, did not get the boy medical treatment. Toler had also beaten the boy at with a belt and with a “switch” from a tree branch, “which caused numerous scarred and open lacerations on the buttocks of the child that caused permanent disfigurement,” according to the report. Toler is charged with two counts of aggravated child abuse and is being held at the county jail with no bond.

‘Fugitive Friday Bingo’ winner taunts deputies, gets arrested The latest “winner” of the weekly Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Friday Bingo segment was arrested in Citrus County Feb. 14 after almost a week of taunting the Sheriff’s Office on social media, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. Francisco Valdez, 29, was featured on Fugitive Friday Bingo — run across social media to generate tips on wanted fugitives from Flagler County — as a wanted fugitive for violation of probation for burglary of an occupied dwelling. Valdez chimed in on Facebook, leaving comments taunting the Sheriff’s Office, requesting payment for being featured as a wanted fugitive and calling the new retro-style “vacancy” sign at the Flagler County jail “hilarious.” “Valdez thought it would be a good idea to make taunting comments on Facebook after he was featured on last Friday’s episode of Fugitive Friday Bingo. This, obviously, was not the first bad idea he has had in his life,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. “Taunting the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office will only make you a bigger target on our radar. ... He will now get a very good look at the new jail signs, which he finds ‘hilarious,’ when he is booked in to the Green Roof Inn.” The FCSO Fugitive Unit determined Valdez was in Citrus County and asked the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office to assist. Deputies arrested Valdez, and he is being held with no bond.

Deputy’s shoulder dislocated in scuffle as suspect resists arrest JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A suspect in a stalking case fought a deputy who was trying to arrest him, dislocating the deputy’s shoulder. The suspect, 42-yearold Leslie Pitter, had been arrested seven previous times since 2007 on charges including resisting arrest, domestic violence, and violation of injunctions for protection. The incident occurred at about 10:30 p.m. Feb. 14 on the 100 block of Florida Park Drive North, where deputies were trying to take Pitter into custody for violating a protection order in a stalking case. They were seeking him because he’d called a woman who he wasn’t

legally allowed to be contacting, telling her he was upset that she hadn’t called him on his birthday. He’d also used Facebook messenger to send her, on Feb. 14 — Valentine’s Day — an image that said, “Roses are red, violets are blue, this holiday sucks, and so do you!” Two deputies went separately to Pitter’s home to arrest him. When Deputy George Bender arrived, Deputy Phillip Conway already had Pitter on the ground, and, Taser drawn, was ordering him to put both hands behind his back. Pitter was refusing. The two deputies moved in to place handcuffs on Pitter when he had only his left arm behind his back, but Pitter — as deputies

repeatedly ordered him to stop resisting — pulled his arms away and rolled over onto his back. “Don’t resist,” the deputies said to Pitter. “I’m not resisting,” Pitter replied as he wrenched himself away from them. Conway grabbed Pitter, the two went to the ground, and Pitter threw Deputy Conway over his shoulder. When Conway hit the pavement, the impact dislocated his shoulder and left a laceration on his chin. Pitter was screaming at the deputies to explain to him what he’d done. “Leslie! Stop resisting,” Bender said. “We’ve got charges on you for a violation of injunction. Relax!”

Pitter kept ranting, yelling that he hadn’t violated any injunction. Conway got up and pulled his Taser while Bender was able to grab both of Pitter’s arms and pull them behind Pitter’s back, but Pitter kept fighting. Conway used his Taser on Pitter and Pitter fell to the ground, where Bender put handcuffs on him. Conway told Bender that his shoulder was dislocated. As they waited on an ambulance, Pitter taunted the deputies, saying to Conway, “I know you are weak as h---. I just tried you, I’m not threatening you I’m just telling you, you’re weak as h---.” He also said, “If he didn’t come and save you I would have had your a--.”

Conway was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler and had to be sedated for his shoulder to be fixed. He’ll recover, but is expected to be off work for some time, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. Pitter faces charges of violation of injunction, resisting arrest with violence and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer. He is being held on no bond. The deputies’ body camera videos, which do contain profanity, can be viewed through links posted at the end of the online version of this story at palmcoastobserver. com.

Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission recommends removal of Judge Scott DuPont JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Circuit 7 Judge Scott DuPont’s behavior has shown “reckless disregard for the truth,” brought repeated complaints of heavyhandedness, and he should be removed from the bench, according to a finding issued by a hearing panel from the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission. The panel examined a series of allegations that began in the context of DuPont’s campaign for re-election in 2016. He was first elected in 2010. The panel found DuPont guilty on the majority of the allegations, and the issue will go before the Florida Supreme Court for a final decision. Among the charges: That DuPont’s campaign made a series of false allegations against challenger Malcolm Anthony; that Dupont had, inappropriately, ordered a man who was behind on child support searched by a bailiff in the courtroom, and had the bailiff take $180 out of the man’s wallet and hand it to the woman who’d petitioned for support; that he’d ordered a domestic violence victim arrested and jailed after she didn’t follow his order to seek psychological counseling about why she’d returned to her abuser; that he’d held first appearances without defendants’ counsel present and had increased bond dramatically without cause; that he’d held a hearing in a dispute between the city of Palm Coast and

Group Golf of Palm Coast without Group Golf’s counsel’s presence even after being alerted that they were running slightly late due to a car crash; and that he’d said during a televised candidate forum that it wasn’t the role of a circuit court judge to determine the constitutionality of statutes. DuPont’s campaign had hired a researcher who used the internet and public records to turn up dirt about Anthony, and DuPont — against the recommendations of campaign staff who told him the information was unverified — used that data, saying during a forum and in campaign literature that Anthony had been ticketed for parking in a handicapped spot and passing a school bus, that his wife and daughter had arrest records, among other allegations. The information was untrue. With one exception, the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission found DuPont guilty of the charges against him concerning his conduct in the 2016 election. The Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission also found DuPont guilty of all of the other charges except the one concerning the hearing with the city of Palm Coast and the Group Golf of Palm Coast and the one concerning his order to arrest the domestic violence victim. DuPont’s conduct, the report states, “is fundamentally inconsistent with the responsibilities of judicial office.”

County closes two rooms at Sheriff’s Operations Center due to mold Employees developed rashes and respiratory problems. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Four employees at the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Operations Center on State Road 100 in Bunnell have come down with strange skin rashes, leading the county have the building checked for mold. Companies hired to investigate possible mold issues found multiple species, leading the Sheriff’s Office to close two rooms in the county-owned building, which was constructed from the remnants of the old hospital building.

“As soon as Sheriff Staly learned about the employee concerns, he contacted the county administrator, Mr. Craig Coffey, who took action to determine if there is an environmental issue with their facility,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Strobridge wrote in an email to the Observer. “Mr. Coffey and his staff have coordinated all the testing and any remediation needed for this building.” Sheriff Rick Staly, representatives from the county and representatives from the Flagler County branch of the Florida Department of Health recently met and explained the proposed mold remediation process to employees, Strobridge said. The problem began several weeks ago, when a group of employees who worked in the same room, Room 129, all got skin rashes and went to see their doctors, who believed they were experiencing an allergic reaction. Four other employees who worked in the room were unaffected. One of the employees who was affected, a sergeant, said she didn’t have any issues before moving into her office, according to a report on the building by H2H Indoor Air Solutions. She was moved out of the space but didn’t improve, but did get better when she left for a week to go to a conference. One of the other employees who was affected developed a respiratory issue in addition to a rash.

Molds create allergens and in some cases also produce toxic substances called mycotoxins, according to the H2H report. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in allergic people with asthma, and can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and nonallergic people, according to the report. H2H recommended that the county have a professional company fully remediate Room 129 and the building’s IT room, along with a series of other recommendations — and then retest the building.

HISTORY OF THE BUILDING The Sheriff’s Operations Center was formerly located on Jusice Lane. In August 2013, the Flagler County Commission voted to purchase the old Memorial Hospital in Bunnell to house the headquarters of the Sheriff’s Office. The purchase was approved in a 4-1 vote, with Charlie Ericksen dissenting. Nate McLaughlin, the only other current commisisoner who was on the board in 2013, voted in favor of the purchase.

SPORTS RAY BOONE

amiah Simpson just wanted to try something new. In her junior year, Simpson, already a member of Flagler Palm Coast’s girls track and field team, opted to compete in the 300-meter hurdles for the 2016-17 season. She worked hard. Her coach, David Halliday, said Simpson, a natural long distance sprinter, had a knack for the event. “I thought she had a real shot at qualifying for the state meet,” Halliday said. Her shot came at the Class 4A Region 1 meet for the 300-meter hurdle. Simpson qualified for the regional final in the event with a 45.72-second showing in the preliminaries. She burst out of the block with confidence. She sped down the track at FPC High School, in complete sync, in perfect stride with some of the top hurdlers in the state. She leaped over her first hurdle without a hitch. Then came the second hurdle. She got to it too soon. The leg she usually goes over the hurdle with wasn’t there yet. Her once perfect rhythm was thrown out of whack. She clipped the hurdle with her trailing leg and hit the ground — hard. She got up, scratched and bruised, with thin streaks of blood dripping down her carved, hardened calves, and she continued to run. But then another hurdle sprang up too soon. She fell once more. Her parents, her sisters and other family members were in attendance. “My heart just stopped,” said Namiah’s mother, Angela Simpson. “I couldn’t believe what was happening.” Namiah had 50 meters to go on the home stretch. A FAMILY AFFAIR

The Simpsons have running in their blood. Namiah’s younger sister, Jada Simpson, is currently a sophomore for the Bulldogs’ track team. Angela Simpson and her sister, Donna Brown, ran track in high school in their hometown of Trenton, New Jersey. Brown went on to run in college for Morgan State. It was Brown who trained Namiah when she decided to run track after graduating middle school. While other kids in the area got a jump on their summer vacations, she trained nearly every day prior to enrolling at FPC. Training left her tired and aching, and as she desperately sucked at the air around her for oxygen, Namiah would think to herself, “Why am I doing this again?” But Brown was right there, ready to encourage her niece. “She would just encourage me to keep going, to keep trying and to not give up,” Namiah said. “And that’s what I do. I don’t give up.” Fast forward nearly four years. The training is a little different: It’s more intense, longer,

‘Just keep going’ Bulldogs’ Namiah Simpson overcoming hurdles heading into 2018 season faster. But she’s faster, too. And the aches and pains? Not nearly enough to steer her away from the sport. “She has outrun me already, which is good because I always want my kids to do better than me,” Angela Simpson said. “She has a heart for track.” THE DECISION

Even now, nearly a year later, Namiah still replays the moment over and over in her head — and in a video recording on her phone. “Sometimes, I put it in slow motion. I zoom in,” Namiah, now a senior with the Bulldogs, said. “I watch everyone finish the race, and there I am on the ground.”

But what the recording doesn’t show, is what she does next: She contemplates leaving the track, quitting the race. With her legs bloody, Namiah stands up. She can’t feel the pain yet. It hasn’t hit her. She’s still in shock. But she can feel the shame, the humiliation. She starts to walk off the track. She’s done. No more, she tells herself. Her chance at running in the state meet, her goal for the 2017 season, has evaporated. What’s the point of finishing? After all her hard work throughout the year, she screams inside her head, “Why me?” “There was a lesson in that,” Namiah recalls today. “It’s kind of like life: It’s going to knock you

down, but you can’t let it keep you down.” She didn’t walk off. She kept running. She finished in last place, but she finished. One person who was watching closely was her coach — because he knew the rest of the team was watching. “She’s got the heart of a champion,” said Halliday, who also added that the 2018 girls team may be his best girls team ever. “I always tell my kids to learn from their mistakes. If you learn from messing up, you didn’t fail.” Although the scratches and bruises have faded and the blood has dried up, the memory — the internal turmoil of falling short of glory — persists for Namiah. But after that conclusion to her 2017 season, she’s ready for anything in 2018. “For me, it’s always about getting back up,” she said. “That’s how I look at it now.”

Sometimes, when I walk into a locker room to interview a team after a crushing loss, I can hear it: the sniffles, the barely audible whimpering, the tears. Sometimes, an athlete’s eyes are still puffy by the time I get to interview him or her. The tears haven’t completely dried up. I saw it after Matanzas lost to Flagler Palm Coast in football. I saw it when each of the football teams I cover were bounced from the playoffs. More recently, I saw it when Atlantic’s boys basketball team lost to Mainland — twice. And as long as I’m covering high school sports, I don’t think it’s something I’ll ever stop seeing. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing, either. I hear a variety of catchphrases from parents and coaches in these instances: “Suck it up!” “Stop crying!” “Grow up!” To that, I say: Why not “let it out”? When I see athletes who are so affected by a crushing defeat, it tells me one thing: The game meant something to them. If you’re not affected by a loss in an important game, why even play sports? I don’t expect kids to throw a public — or even private — hissy fit. But I do expect some kind of reaction. On a few occasions after a loss, I’ve seen athletes smile and joke around with their teammates. As a former athlete and a passionate follower of sports, I’d rather see a passionate response.

coach Paul McIntyre said. “He’s somebody that everyone should watch out for — big time.” Tuesday night was the Pirates’ fourth-straight win against the Bulldogs. Matanzas now leads the all-time series 11-10. Matanzas coach Efrain Gutierrez said Tuesday night was the best FPC-Matanzas lacrosse game he’s seen in the last six years. Gutierrez, who played on Matanzas’ lacrosse team from 2008 to 2011, was the Pirates’ defensive coordinator for four years before taking over as the team’s head coach five seasons ago. On getting the opportunity to

The Matanzas boys lacrosse team built an insurmountable lead nearly halfway through the fourth quarter of the Pirates’ game against crosstown rival Flagler Palm Coast on the night of Tuesday, Feb. 20, at FPC High School. And with 8:01 to play in the season-opener, Pirates midfielder Jonah Robertson flung a left-handed shot that whizzed past the head of Bulldogs goal keeper Nick Tamayo that found the back of the net, giving the Pirates a 9-5 lead. Robertson didn’t react, however. He quietly fist-bumped a teammate and got ready for the next possession. “You’ve got to keep it low-key, you know?” said Robertson, who added that he once got in trouble from the officials for excessive celebration. “You can’t show the refs that you’re too happy about it.” The Pirates’ two-year team captain was nearly unstoppable in Matanzas’ 11-6 win over the Bulldogs. Robertson scored a gamehigh four goals, including backto-back goals in a one-minute span late in the third quarter. “Jonah’s got a big body, a hard shot and he’s very accurate,” FPC

Matanzas wrestling wins district, FPC places second

Bulldogs defensive end receives two offers in one day

Martial arts master moves to Palm Coast

After two years, Matanzas’ boys wrestling team is back on top of the district. The Pirates beat Creekside to bring home the 2ADistrict 4 championship Feb. 16. First-Place Finishers: Shaun Culbreth (106), Stone White (126), Lawrence Russo (132), Tyrone Jones (145). Second-Place Finishers: Ethan Goodman (113), Ian Eckert (138), Quenteen Robinson (160), Sam Russo (170), Cecil Bermudez (285). Flagler Palm Coast placed second in the 3A-District 1 championship on Friday, Feb. 17, at Oakleaf High School, falling short to Fleming Island. First-Place Finishers: Avery Holder (132), Curtis Brock (152).

After a successful 2017 season that saw FPC defensive end Nelson Paul lead the area in sacks, Paul is starting to pick up college interests. Most recently, the junior received an offer for the University of South Florida on Feb. 19, announcing the offer via Twitter. A few hours later, Paul picked up his second offer, this time from the University of South Alabama. Paul, who figures to be the Bulldogs’ top defender once against next season, already holds offers from Florida Atlantic and Valdosta State.

Martial arts Grand Master George W. Alexander, a 10th-degree black belt and World Karate Champion, has moved to Palm Coast, according to a press release. Alexander has teamed up with Fitness One at 2500 Moody Blvd. to offer traditional martial arts instruction to the public. Alexander has lived in Japan and studied a wide range of martial arts. Visitors are welcome.

YOUR NEIGHBORS ‘Support something different’

CRT and PCAF believe Flagler County is ready for Shakespeare

Jim Fellows, as Banquo, and Robert O. Dimsey, as Macbeth, rehearse.

Robert O. Dimsey and Sharon Resnikoff share a passionate kiss on stage as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

ancy Crouch looks around Palm Coast Arts Foundation’s outdoor stage with an excited expression, envisioning the space’s versatility for live entertainment. As PCAF’s executive director, she said she sees a future of diverse events that will be held on the 4,500-square-foot stage located in Town Center. For City Repertory Theatre, that

future is now. CRT and PCAF have joined forces for the first-ever production in Flagler County of Shakespeare in the Park. Showcasing one of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies, four performances of “Macbeth” will ignite the tradition locally. The feat is a much-needed addition to the county’s performing arts scene, said CRT Artistic Director John Sbordone. “CRT is all about doing differ-

ent things in the area,” Sbordone said. “We don’t do shows other theaters do. We believe that we ought to be able to provide Flagler County with great plays that are not necessarily commercial.” Shakespeare in the Park has been performed worldwide in many large cities. Sharon Resnikoff, who plays Lady Macbeth, said she’s thrilled to help introduce the production locally. A cast of 13 actors and actresses, several of whom play multiple roles, rehearsed four to five times a week for the last eight weeks in preparation for opening night on Thursday, Feb. 22. “It’s exciting to see that Palm Coast is growing culturally,” Resnikoff said. “I think people are looking for things like this.” Sbordone said his goal of Shakespeare in the Park is: “once a year, for the kids of the county to have an exposure to this — for the teachers who probably grew up with some of this stuff, for all of those who want to support something different.” After being involved with theater for virtually all his life, Ormond Beach resident Robert O. Dimsey is gearing up to play Macbeth. “Learning Shakespeare and working in this environment is very different,” Dimsey said. “But it’s a great challenge. I’m not shying away from it by any stretch of the imagination.” He emphasized that live theater adds value to the quality of life for everyone “6 months to 106 years old.” “The more opportunities there are for people to experience that connection, whether it’s live music or it’s stand-up comedy or going to see a play — it’s all great,” Dimsey said. Sbordone said he plans on

directing one of Shakepeare’s comedies next year to continue the tradition. Crouch said fundraising plans are in the works to match a $500,000 state grant for an arching roof to cover the stage, which was complete in December 2016. She hopes the project will be complete in a couple of years. In the meantime, a white tent covers the stage, creating an intimate theater experience and allowing the actors’ voices to project to each corner. “I think it’s going to be unbelievable for the development of Town Center, for one thing,” Crouch said of PCAF’s plans for further construction. “It’s not something Flagler County is accustomed to having. They have the Flagler Playhouse, which does wonderful community theater. They have the Flagler Auditorium, which does a lot of interesting performances, too. But this is just another venue opportunity.”

IF YOU GO: When: 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22; 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23 and Saturday, Feb. 24; 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25 Where: Palm Coast Arts Foundation, 1500 Central Ave. Cost: Opening night is $50 for PCAF/ CRT members, $75 general public; Other shows cost $25 for PCAF/CRT members and $30 for general public; $10 for students with student ID Details: Tickets to opening night include appetizers, two drink tickets and an opportunity to meet the actors.

First Hispanic festival at Indian Trails Middle School helps students learn differences and embrace similarities With help from her students, Christina Gilliam, ITMS Spanish teacher, put on the festival on Feb. 15. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

The goal Indian Trails Middle School Spanish teacher Christina Gilliam had for the school’s first Hispanic festival was for students and the community to learn about differences and embrace similarities. Between the ITMS band, chorus, art and history departments and the Spanish Club, Gilliam said over 150 students participated to make the inaugural Hispanic festival a success for about 300 visitors on Thursday, Feb. 15. “Everybody brings something to the table, always,” Gilliam said. “They are so different, but, when you put them together, you can pick out the difference, but also something in common. All these kids are eager to learn if you open the right doors.” Twenty Hispanic countries were researched and presented by members of the ITMS Spanish Club at the festival. “Some of the students have families that were born in that country, so it was a great opportunity for them to learn about their culture,” said Gilliam, who is Colombian. Eighth-grader Alexis Bennett said she was fascinated to learn about Costa Rica for her project. “It’s actually very interesting that they’re kind of like us,” Ben-

nett said. “They just speak a different language, but most of the sports we have here, they have there.” Traditional Peruvian and Colombian dances were performed by dance groups Peru JAX and Raices. A student art exhibit was on display where several eighth-graders dressed up as artists from Hispanic countries and showcased self-portraits they

Whale jaw bone washes up on Flagler Beach The whale bone was discovered near the Flagler Beach pier in the late afternoon on Wednesday, Feb. 14. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Two weeks after moving to Palm Coast from Massachusetts, Erik Martin was admiring the waves on Flagler Beach near the pier when he saw a large, unfamiliar object close to the water’s edge. “I didn’t know was it was at first,” Martin said. “It just looked like a big mass of something.” What he original thought was a large tooth of a mammal turned out to be an upper jaw bone of a whale. Flagler Beach resident Bradley Krisher had spotted the bone just before Martin on Wednesday, Feb.

OLIVE M. IZZO

October 28, 1928 - February 12, 2018 Olive M. Izzo, age 89, of Mechanicsburg, PA and formerly of Palm Coast, FL and Melrose, MA, passed away on Monday, February 12, 2018 at Messiah Village. Born October 28, 1928 in Malden, MA, she was a daughter of the late Joseph A. and Margaret (Trapp) LaRoche. Olive was an active volunteer at the Florida Hospital Flagler. She was a member of the Red Hat Society and a Bridge Club in Palm Coast, FL. Olive enjoyed reading, knitting, sewing, playing cards and golfing.

14, but after taking a few photos on his iPhone, Krisher left to go get his camera. When he returned, a few individuals, including Martin, were around the bone. A staff member from Marineland came to examine the bone and remove it from the shore, said Martin. Flagler Beach photographer Tony Caruso saw his friend, Bradley Krisher, post about the bone on social media, so he grabbed his camera and headed to the shore to document the moment. “I had never seen anything like that in my 38 years of life,” Martin said.

Olive was preceded in death by her husband, Dominic P. Izzo, daughter, Donna M. Szarlan; brother, Donald LaRoche; sister, Janet Tropeano; son-in-law, Gary L. Poole. She is survived by two daughters, Nancy M. Poole of Mechanicsburg, PA and Janet M. Cronan and husband Robert of Wilmington, MA; son-in-law Michael Szarlan of Newark, DE; seven grandchildren, Stephanie Knittle and husband Deron, Eric Poole and wife Andrea, Daniel Cronan, Lauren Mariano and husband Paul, Kevin Cronan and Adam Szarlan and Ryan Szarlan and wife Erin; five great-grandchildren, Hailey and Connor Knittle, Brady, Lucas and Sadie Poole. Mass of Christian Burial was held at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, 300 Hertzler Drive, Mechanicsburg. Burial will take place at Holy Cross Cemetery Malden, MA.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis,TN 38105.
