Living the dream WISSLE BLOWER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

Youth baseball coach Will “The Homer” Terrier was missing his own glory days as a player, and then he had a great idea: He stopped coaching and joined his own team of 10-year-olds. “I figured I would show them how it’s done,” Terrier said. “And I’ve hit 14 home runs in our first five games.” When parents of opposing teams complained, Terrier told them to meet him behind the dumpster if they felt like they wanted to learn a “lesson.” “They’re just jealous that they

Glitch in deputy’s GPS sends suspects to Palm Beach tourist trap. DERT BHAG CRIME EDITOR

It’s all fun and games until suspects arrive at your door in handcuffs and scare away your guests. The incident began when the Sheriff’s Office got a call regarding a disturbance in the Force at 3:01 a.m. Tuesday. A new deputy, Junior Senior Jr., whose father, Junior Senior Sr., was a decorated interior decorator, was assigned to check it out. Senior Jr. arrived on the scene at 3:02 a.m. and discovered a man wearing a feather from an exotic bird that he immediately recognized as being illegal in Florida. Moreover, an overwhelming alcholic odor was emitting from the man’s mouth region. Senior Jr. made the arrest and brought him to the Green Roof Inn, in Palm Beach, Florida. That’s when it got weird. Green Roof Inn owner O’Blarney Bhag (no relation to this reporter) said this was the third time in a week that a suspect had been brought to the inn, mistaking it for the jail in Flagler County. “We’re not a jail,” Bhag told the deputy. “Google it.” But Senior Jr. did Google it, and sure enough, the Green Roof Inn was also the name of a jail. “Try changing it to Ye Olde Greene Roof,” Senior Jr. suggested.

Fourth-grader with autism locked in classroom, advocate says Parents who attended an ESE Advisory Council meeting were upset with the district’s reluctance to comment. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

In what was described as “evidence of our very worst fears coming true,” the Flagler Exceptional Student Education Advisory Council addressed allegations of an ESE teacher’s abuse toward a special needs student at Belle Terre Elementary at its latest meeting on the night of Wednesday, March 20. Dawn Starr — who has been an education advocate in Volusia County for six years and who has many clients in Flagler County — wrote an open letter to Flagler Schools regarding the incident. The letter was published on Facebook and was first reported on by FlaglerLive. The incident involved a fourthgrade boy who has non-verbal autism, Type 1 diabetes, seizure disorder and intellectual delays, the letter states. The child’s parent, who had concerns about her child’s behavior at school as reported by teachers and aids, sent her child to school with a hidden recording device on Feb. 19. According to Starr’s letter, the audio appeared to verify that the student was left locked in his classroom with the lights off, alone, for 35 minutes by a classroom aid, reportedly at the direction of the ESE teacher. The letter states that you can hear the stu-

dent crying and banging on what is assumed to be the classroom’s door. This was allegedly used as a form of discipline, as the student didn’t want to accompany the aid to physical education class. If true, this type of punishment is known as seclusion and under Florida Administrative rules, is illegal to use on a student with disabilities. In addition, others on the tape, likely school staff members, are heard saying things like, “Yes, he’s here, unfortunately,” when the student’s name is called, and “I would beat him until he stopped if he was my kid.” Another person, believed to be a paraprofessional, is heard saying that “standing next to any of them is punishment.” Advisory Council Chairman Stephen Furnari issued a statement regarding the incident. “If true, the incidents reported by Ms. Starr are nothing short of abhorrent,” he said. “As a parent of a non-verbal third-grade student with a developmental disability, this is the type of situation that triggers your very worst fears. Every day, we hand our children off to district staff, hoping that they’ll keep our children safe with the knowledge that your child can’t tell you if they do not.” He also called on parents to step up.

“Abusive, ableist, discriminatory behavior toward students with disabilities will persist as long as we as a group continue to tolerate it,” Furnari said. “We must band together and demand as a group that we will not tolerate this in our schools.” Lynette Shott, executive director of Student and Community Engagement for Flagler Schools, was present at the meeting. The district did not comment on any specifics regarding the allegation. “The commitment was made on our part to come together for this purpose of this group because we want to make sure that we have that transparent conversation,” Shott said. “I think that it is critical we continue to do that and look to find solutions, and that we cannot ignore anything that is a concern and that we continue to very honestly come forward.” Parents and others who were in attendance at Wednesday night’s meeting were upset with how the situation is being handled, as well as the district’s reluctance to comment. Starr, who was also in attendance, said she will continue to stand by what she wrote. “My credibility and integrity have been put in doubt,” Starr said at the meeting. “I listened to a recording that another staff at the district listened to. I wrote what I heard, and I will stand by every single word of it from now until the day I get put down.” Email Ray Boone at ray@palmcoastobserver.com.

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

Firefighter Katelyn Douglas

Photo by Paige Wilson

AN INNER FIRE PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

hen Katelyn Douglas stepped into Palm Coast Fire Chief Jerry Forte’s office about two years ago, she was asked, “You’re a girl, what makes you think you’re going to be a firefighter?” “I say that simply because my daughter is a lieutenant with the Daytona Beach Fire Department, and I know the trials and tribulations she went through,” Forte said. The Palm Coast Fire Department has seven female firefighters — out of 57 career firefighters and 15 volunteers — and Douglas is now one of them. “What she said to me was, ‘I know I can do this,’” Forte said. “And I just went, ‘Yes, you do; come on, we’re going to do this.’” Two years later, Douglas, now 20, has completed the internship program and was officially hired with the department in October 2018. She’s also currently in school at Daytona State College for paramedic credentials. “I could never sit behind a computer or be 9 to 5,” Douglas said. “I’ve always been, since I was a kid, on the job site with dad and really close to dad, and just one of the boys growing up. That’s just kind of been my thing.” A Matanzas High School graduate, Douglas was born and raised in Palm Coast, often helping out at Douglas Construction or spending time with her brother

and two male cousins when she wasn’t booked at marching band, cheerleading or lacrosse. Douglas started the intern program with PCFD when she was still a student, often coming in for training at stations around the city right after school, or even doing overnight shifts. Each month, she clocked at least 24 hours a month, the minimum to one day get hired from the intern program. “Most of the lieutenants would train with me at night and really take the extra step to help me,” she said. While the physical demands of being a firefighter have been a challenge, Douglas said, she likes getting “down and dirty.” “She has got quite a skill set, and she didn’t need a whole lot of refining, but she did need people that were going to motivate her and push her to a little bit further of where she was,” Forte said. “But when you start to look at what firefighter Douglas does now, we can talk about her being a true leader — that she takes on the responsibility and gets things done all by herself without having her be prodded and coaxed into doing things.” Bob Douglas, Katelyn’s father, has seen that responsibility and work ethic in her for years. “I could not possibly put into words how proud of her I am,” he said. “She’s just amazing, in my mind; I mean, obviously I’m a little biased when I say that, but I could not be happier about the whole thing.”

“What she said to me was, ‘I know I can do this. And I just went, ‘Yes, you do; come on, we’re going to do this.’” Palm Coast Fire Chief JERRY FORTE, talking about Katelyn Douglas

Katelyn Douglas said her time around construction turned out to be an asset to her firefighter career. “I know more about how it’s built, and I know how it could come down,” she said. While becoming a firefighter wasn’t a specific dream of hers as a kid, Katelyn Douglas knew she wanted to work hands-on and help people more than anything. “I originally was going to be a music major,” she said. “I played flute for eight years, and I decided to pick up the bagpipes; and the only bagpiping band in tour were the retired Police and Fire Pipes and Drums band, so they ended up teaching me how to play. [Former Fire Chief Mike] Beadle was a part of that, and he ended up telling me about the volunteer program and everything.” The rest is history.

Growth is coming, guest speaker Scott Hall, of Advanced Technology Group, told the Flagler County Business Town Hall on March 22. People will continue to move to Florida, and it’s up to the community to decide what type of growth they want, he said. “I want you to keep the quality of life you have,” he said. “But you must plan for what is coming.” To prepare for the future, city and county leaders see highspeed, reliable internet as a necessity, and the topic of the town hall was starting a conversation about getting fiber optic cable for the cities and broadband in the rural areas. Showing that the city and county were working together, the meeting at the Palm Coast Community Center was led by Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland and Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins. Holland said to attract talent to the county, accessibility is needed, so people can work at a park or at home. She said the city is currently issuing a request for proposals to determine the next step to move forward to expand fiber optic cable in the county. “We are unique,” Mullins said. “We have large rural areas, a city and coastal area. We’re a diverse group. But alignment is here today.” Holland said the cooperation between city and county has not been seen before. “You can feel success coming,” she said. The city and schools have highspeed fiber optic cable, and Mullins said it’s now time to bring high-paying jobs and new businesses to the area. Petitions were passed around the audience, so people could show they have a need for better internet, which is important in getting grant dollars. Andrew Hayes, of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, monitors grant applications throughout the country. Each year, they grant a total of $3 million to rural areas such as western Flagler County. “It’s fairly competitive,” he

HOW YOU CAN HELP An app, called testit, is available that works on both Apple and android devices and measures speed of the internet in the area. County Commissioner Joe Mullins urges the public to download the app and use it everywhere they go, because it helps the National Association of Counties build a database showing where better internet is needed.

said. He said getting community involvement, such as the town hall meeting, was a good start in applying for a grant. Areas must show needs for such areas as education, health, public safety and community development. Mullins said a USDA grant will be a good source to make sure western Flagler County has the same opportunities as the city. Advanced Technology Group is an example of a small business that has sprung up to provide internet solutions for companies. Large cable companies can take years and millions of dollars, Hall said, while his company can install fiber optic cable in a relatively short time. Scott said not to let politics and bureaucracies stand in the way. “There are solutions,” he said. “I commend you for starting the process.” Mullins said the small company can provide the cable to any business or homeowner, who can switch their service from their current local large cable provider. Television channels would be included. Arthur Scott, of the National Association of Counties, introduced an app, testit. People can use it to measure internet speed wherever they are, and each time it’s used it will help create a database for areas that need more service. Mullins encouraged everyone to use it as much as possible. Alvin Jackson, Bunnell city manager, said all parts of a community are important when attracting businesses because they are looking at workforce needs. He said Bunnell is developing a master utility plan, and broadband needs to be part of the infrastructure.

How you can help prevent suicide Flagler County has highest rate in Florida. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Donna Dolbier came close to ending her life at the age of 30. Separated from her husband, she was lonely and had feelings of failure. “I didn’t understand that circumstances can change,” she said at a Suicide Awareness Seminar on March 23. One day while visiting her husband and kids, she saw them laughing and playing, making her feel like they didn’t need her. This was a turning point for her. She went upstairs and swallowed an entire bottle of pills a physician had given her for depression. She survived, but her problems continued. Then, a couple of friends sat down with her and asked what was wrong. They were not counselors, but showing they cared helped lift her out of the depression. “I changed focus from inward

to outward,” she said. “I found joy in giving and doing for others.” She still works to keep a positive attitude, and she’s helped by a new religious conviction. Dolbier told her story at the seminar at Palm Coast Bible Church, led by Tom Olney, pastor of congregational care. It was one of series of community workshops organized by the church. Panel members were Mike Crisanto, regional suicide prevention specialist; Shoshanah Mercado, of Buddy Taylor Middle School; Karen Palpant, mental health counselor in Ormond-bythe-Sea; Chris Santoianni, Flagler County deputy; and Kathy Vazquez, victim advocate, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. OVERCOMING THE STIGMA

The panel members agreed that if you suspect someone is having a problem, you should ask how they are doing, and show concern. People should get over the stigma that prevents talking about suicide. Also, some people say talking about suicide can cause it, but this is a myth, according to experts at the seminar. “Don’t be afraid to ask,” Santoianni said. There are several places to turn for help. (See “Finding resources.”) Mercado said she likes www. psychologytoday.com because it shows photos and bios of caregivers. “You want to find a person

you’re comfortable with,” she said. Palpant said there can be multiple causes for suicide: disconnection from others; failure in relationships or career; mood problems; chronic pain; substance abuse; and then a final tipping point. Behaviors that show a risk include talking about being a burden to others, sleep pattern changes, withdrawal, or rage.

dents constantly compare themselves to others on social media. “They base their validity on how many ‘likes’ they get,” she said. The problems are not because of one thing, she said, such as bullying or social media, but always a combination of things. Santoianni said more mental health resources — and transportation — are needed in Flagler County. Olney said he hopes the seminar will be a catalyst for action. “It’s important we work together,” he said.

A LOCAL PROBLEM

In 2017, Flagler County had the highest per capita rate of any county in Florida, at 28.8 per 100,000. Mercado said she has seen an increasing need at Flagler Schools. She spends most of her day helping students who come to her in what she called a “crisis mode.” Family life often contributes to their problems, such as having parents who abuse drugs. Social media plays a role. Stu-

I was a ‘guest’ at the Green Roof Inn

Jail should inspire fear in criminals

Dear Editor: The March 21 letter written by Mike Cocchiola bemoans the tactics of our esteemed sheriff, Rick Staly, referring to him as a “cowboy” among other things. Let’s not overlook the fact that overall crime in Flagler County has dropped significantly under Staly’s watch. His proactive approach to law enforcement catches many fugitives. Perhaps, Mr. Cocchiola, this is the reason the population at the jail is so high: more people being arrested = fuller jail, less crime being committed. Makes sense to me. Then he goes all bleeding heart on us by describing the unfortunate souls who fall under the sheriff’s jurisdiction and end up as a “guest” in the Green Roof Inn, as Staly refers to it. Let me assure you, as a man who committed a foolish act of theft by shoplifting nearly four years ago in my most desperate hour, I had to do my time at the GRI, and at no time was I treated unfairly or cruelly. I was given a diversion program for a first offender, which I completed successfully with the help of Flagler’s Department of Corrections. My charges are dropped and record is clean. Sheriff Staly once came into my old job, and I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him at length. I told him my story, and he had only encouraging words for me. At no time did he refer to me as a “dirt bag” or any other derogatory term. There are vile people committing vile acts that certainly deserve that label, and I’m glad I reside in a county policed by a sheriff who isn’t afraid to call it like it is and keep our city safe. I feel secure when I go to bed at night in Palm Coast, and I credit Sheriff Staly and his team of dedicated deputies for that secure feeling. Based on the left-leaning, liberal tone of Mr. Cocchiola’s letter, perhaps he’d be more at home residing in San Francisco or Portland, where crime, especially petit theft, vagrancy, and aggressive panhandling are accepted as the norm of daily life.

Dear Editor: Never thought I would see the day that I would agree with Mike Cocchiola about anything, but I am not too fond of the sheriff calling the jail “the Green Roof Inn,’’ either; a better and more apt name would be “the house of pain and redemption.” I think being incarcerated should be such a feared and dreaded experience that it would cause people to walk the straight and narrow or cause them to go legit. As to Rick Staly: Having a cowboy sheriff beats having a New York lawyer seven ways from Sunday. Cocchiola seems to have missed the point on locking people up. doubling the jail population is a good thing; it means Staly has taken more bad people off the street. That’s his job! Anti-gun people should want more people locked up being as they can’t defend themselves and have to rely on “cowboys” to keep them from being harmed. Good luck with that. Folks do not just fall under Staly’s jurisdictio; they commit crimes and get caught (sometimes) and get locked up and should be punished; note that I did not say “rehabilitated” because most of the time it doesn’t work. A little fear goes a long way; respect and care don’t do diddly-squat. The liberals have taken the discipline out of schools; now it’s the punishment out of prison; next it’ll be the Marines eliminating boot camp!

Who pays for county’s mismanagement? Dear Editor: So let me see if I understand this correctly: Flagler County has the money to build more pickleball courts but doesn’t have the money to find a solution for the homeless problem? Flagler County has the money to buy the old Sears building, even though the county doesn’t have a plan to use it. But they haven’t got a place to house the Sheriff’s Operations Center after the building they overpaid for and spent millions renovating turns out to be contaminated. Flagler County has to come up with the money to fix the

Plantation Bay water plant, which they overpaid for knowing it was disintegrating. Flagler County is poised to ignore the wishes of its citizens and enter into an agreement with Captain’s BBQ that benefits the private business owners but not the taxpayers. Where is the money coming from? The majority of our residents are retirees, on fixed incomes. Who is going to pay for all this mismanagement? EDITH CAMPINS Palm Coast

Leave Trump letters to the New York Times Dear Editor: When your paper began in Palm Coast, you said it was a local paper, and the op-ed section should contain issues of local concern. The March 21 letter against President Trump was a national issue. If you allow these articles to continue, your paper will just become political campaign ad propaganda until the 2020 presidential election. Many misinformed people want to overthrow our current government. I am not suggesting the recent writer is one of them, and her article about Trump was connected to a Palm Coast event, but it contained many exaggerated and one-sided comments against the president. I could rebut each of them with facts, but then I would be contributing to what you did not want your paper to become. (Did I cross that line already? Sorry.) National issues affect us all, but those opinions are a better fit in the New York Times. Please adhere to your original policy, and keep your op-ed focused on our truly local issues. JEAN SBERTOLI Flagler Beach

Improve traffic by luring shoppers west Dear Editor: Anyone who has traveled on Palm Coast Parkway or State Road 100 during the morning and evening rush period have discovered a traffic mess. It is not uncommon to be stuck at a traffic signal light for two or three light cycles. A five-minute trip becomes a 10-minute — or more — ordeal. We need not pay some company to conduct a study. The

answer is quite simple: There are too many cars. In my opinion, any other argument as to the cause of the traffic would be a specious argument. These two roadways are the only west-to-east routes available for people living west of Belle Terre Parkway. Most shopping opportunities require west-to-east travel for outbound and east-to-west homebound on these roadways. Both Palm Coast and Flagler County have staff devoted to economic development, and it seems to me that these staffs should be working to lure shopping opportunities to the west side of U.S. 1. The selling point should be the already added housetops at the Grand Reserve, the 1,500 in the final stage of improvement at Matanzas Woods Parkway, with 3,000 more in the future, and the 240 in the final stage of approval at White Mill Drive. In three years, there should about 2,000 more rooftops west of Belle Terre, and it does not make sense to have these residents added to the east-to-west traffic flow. Our community development people should be contacting companies like Costco, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. These retailers would be a significant draw away from the existing eastbound outflow of the current residents. Another much more costly solution would be to development a new road or expand an existing east-west road between Palm Coast Parkway and 100. This road would need to run between U.S. 1 and Old Kings Road. We cannot allow our elected representatives to ignore the traffic issues. JOHN BRADY Palm Coast

PICKLEBALL AT RALPH CARTER

Rather than putting pickleball courts at Holland Park, staff proposed spending about $600,000 to build six courts at Ralph Carter Park instead. Mayor Milissa Holland said she’d like to explore a partnership with Flagler County, to use tourism funds for a central pickleball location. Currently, the county is planning to build up to nine new courts in The Hammock. The plan for park improvements is scheduled to be voted on at the April 2 council meeting.

The next and final phase of Holland Park will develop five zones, including splash pads.

ACCELERATING TECH

The city of Palm Coast should be more aggressive in using and marketing FiberNet, according to Councilman Nick Klufas. When Interim City Manager Beau Falgout suggested adding a plan to next year’s budget, Klufas said, “I can’t wait another year.” Klufas and Mayor Milissa Holland asked Falgout to see options to amend the budget to make room for more tech staff now.

Pickleball courts, fitness equipment and handball courts are being cut from the second and final phase of Holland Park construction — but most Palm Coast City Council members favor moving forward with the $2 million worth of splash pads planned at the park. Improvements to James F. Holland Memorial Park, on Florida Park Drive, began with a plan in 2004. After a hiatus because of the recession, phase 1 was completed in June 2017, and phase 2 is now projected to begin in May and be completed in June 2020, for a cost of $5.6 million (down from a projected $7 million). Even with the reduced scope of phase 2, Councilman Eddie Branquinho did not support spending so much on “amenities and comforts” such as splash pads and shade. He felt the City Council is opening itself to criticism, considering council members were hesitant earlier in the March 26 workshop to commit to Public Works improvements on U.S. 1. (The council directed staff to continue to explore less expensive options.) “We have to balance this,” Branquinho said. Holland Park will remain open throughout phase 2 construction, which is being funded through sales tax dollars.

City tackles water drainage issues A Master Plan will be finished this summer.

WHAT’S A SWALE? Swales are broad, shallow channels along roads, driveways and parking lots that are part of the city’s stormwater drainage system. Swales are designed to protect your property from flooding. Properly maintained swales can collect stormwater runoff, trap pollutants, increase groundwater recharge, and slow the flow of runoff, reducing erosion.

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

When it rains, the phones start ringing at Palm Coast City Hall. That’s when problems arise, along with the water. The city has 1,200 miles of swales, 177 miles of ditches, 58 miles of fresh water canals and 26 miles of salt water canals. They all can have problems. The city has decided to take a “big picture” look at repairing and improving the drainage system by creating a Master Plan, with the help of a consulting engineering firm. The plan, made possible by an increase in stormwater fees the city made last fall, will address aging infrastructure and years of population growth. Citizens got a chance to learn about the Master Plan at a pair of public outreach meetings March 25 at the Palm Coast Community Center, 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE. Attendees spoke with stormwater managers and customer service representatives, and marked maps showing where they had drainage problems. The hurricanes of 2016 and 2017 let the city know overall drainage improvements were needed, said Steve Flanagan, Community Development director. “The City Council saw we weren’t keeping up with stormwater the way we should, so they decided to act,” he said.

City of Palm Coast workers John Caccavale (not shown), Bobby Pearson, John Delbonis, Jeffrey Starr and parttime employee Deshawn Barbero repair the swale on Providence Lane in Palm Coast on March 15.

The hurricanes also caused a backlog in needed work. Donald Schrager, construction site supervisor, said Public Works crews had to spend several months picking up debris, which took them away from drainage systems. Another problem is that the pipes in Palm Coast were installed 40 years ago and are starting to fail. Four failed last year, Flanagan said. The Master Plan is set to be

presented to the City Council this summer. In the meantime, city crews have started an accelerated maintenance program, beginning in the W-section, according to Cindy Lane, communications and marketing manager. The ditch line from Woodside Drive south to Pine Lakes Parkway has been re-established, and drainage pipes are being cleaned. The city is already seeing positive effects B:10.167” on the drainage system even with T:10.167”

several weeks to go until completion of the project, Lane said. Plans are now being developed to address other localized drainage issues in the E-, F- and R-sections in the near future, she said. The Stormwater Division is also reassessing the city’s swale maintenance program, Lane said. One of those who talked to a service representative was Maureen O’Hara, who has a unique problem. The ditch that runs by

her house has been eroding for a long time. “I’m losing property,” she said. She has often been in contact with the city without getting results, but is optimistic after talking with a representative at the meeting. “I definitely feel someone will come out,” she said. Lori Powell said her problem is that the pipes under some of the driveways on her street were not put in correctly when the houses were built and were not inspected properly. Water builds up in the swales. She said she has made many calls to the city and still hopes to get the problem resolved. When an audience member mentioned a specific problem at the meeting, they were referred to a customer representative. For information, call 386-9862360.

Pending work orders for swale rehab, some of which date back to 2017. Again, this backlog is due to Hurricane Irma, according to spokeswoman Cindi Lane. “We continue to work on these,” Lane said, “but it’s important to note that there is no timetable for completion on any swale work order because our new enhanced stormwater plan looks at the drainage system as a whole in regards to public safety, infrastructure, and maintenance across all drainage basins instead of specific complaints.”

The City of Palm Coast in partnership with the Palm Coast Observer will present the second annual State of the City event featuring an address by Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland. There is no charge to attend the State of the City address, but seating is limited.

FPC grads inducted into ArtWorks Hall of Fame The fourth-annual ArtWorks induction recognized Katy Garrison, Noah Marks and Danielle Zirkelbach. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

A panel of three Flagler Palm Coast High School graduates showed different routes that the arts can take you, but they agreed on an important piece of advice: You have to do what you love. Graduates Katy Garrison, Noah Marks and Danielle Zirkelbach were invited back to their old Bulldog stomping grounds to be inducted into the FPC Arts Hall of Fame, at the fourth-annual ArtWorks program, sponsored by the Flagler County Art League, with a grant from the city of Palm Coast. The auditorium was filled with current FPC students Tuesday, March 26, as well as School Board and FCAL members, as they all listened to the honorees tell their trials and triumphs in the arts. “Whatever you want to do, you really have to push yourself,” said Zirkelbach, a professional international artist. After realizing her calling, she sold all of her belongings and moved to Hawaii in 2010. She waited tables for eight years to make ends meet, while pursing her painting and surfing passions. “Do it because you love it; the days you’re tired, push harder.” Noah Marks, a principal architect, stressed the importance of embracing the process, not the product.

“Try a thousand things,” Marks said. “When you decide to be an artist, don’t put yourself in a box.” What’s the craft for you? Painting? Photography? Graphic design? Architecture? Trying your hand in many methods helped Marks find his passion, he said. Garrison echoed Marks’ sentiments. Having a father who’s a graphic designer inspired her to become one today, but she still tried different possibilities before knowing it was right for her. Her advice to future artists is to find inspiration and to practice constantly. You never stop learning, Garrison said. But you can’t achieve success alone. All the awardees voiced the countless friends, family members and mentors who inspired them to get to where they are today. As Ed Beckett asked the awardees questions about their journey to success, you could see the pride in his eyes with every answer. Beckett, an FPC teacher, is the the ArtWorks founder. Through their presentations, they noted their appreciation for his help, along with help from others, like former FPC art teacher Sheila Crawford, who taught from 1977 to 2005. Superintendent James Tager presented each with their awards. He said ArtWorks is his favorite event, as he’s inspired by the passions and talents of the graduates.

Matanzas’ girls lacrosse team picked up its first win of the season on Monday, March 25. The Pirates defeated St. Joe 17-14. The Pirates’ Annette Nalley scored a game-high 13 goals and had 3 assists. Kate Thoubboron had 3 goals and 1 assist. Madison Fallon had 1 goal and 3 assist. And Lydia Ritter and Sheril Pronesti each had two assists.

n the dwindling minutes of Flagler Palm Coast girls lacrosse’s senior night match against rival Matanzas, the Bulldogs’ Sarah Murphy, who has played defense her entire career at FPC, was given the opportunity to play on offense. With fewer than 5 minutes remaining in the game, Murphy bolted toward the Pirates’ goal. She flung the ball — hard — and it slipped past the Pirates’ goal keeper and hit the back of the net. It was the first goal of her career. “If I could do a backflip,” Murphy said, “I would have.” Four seniors played their final regular season game at Sal Campanella Memorial Stadium on the night of Thursday, March 21. Murphy, Moriah Duprat, Mariann Trecki and Heather Marino all contributed to the Bulldogs’ 18-1 victory over the Pirates. Marino led the Bulldogs with four goals and two assists. Trecki added two goals and an assist of her own. Duprat, a defender, was the only senior to not score. The Pirates scored their only goal in the first 36 seconds of the game. From there, the Bulldogs took over. They scored their first goal at the 23:22 mark in the first SEE BULLDOGS PAGE 16

half and went into the locker room at halftime with a comfortable 10-1 lead. “We executed our plan, and that’s what I wanted to happen,” FPC head coach Katie Kastner said. “I didn’t necessarily want to run up the score. I wanted to run plays. I wanted to make sure they were successful. I wanted to run our defense a certain way. So I was pleased with that. We did a lot of good things, but there’s also a lot we can improve on.” Part of their success, according to Trecki, is the chemistry they’ve been able to form on the field. “We have really good team work, and we’ve struggled with that in the past,” Trecki said. “Lately, we’ve really been meshing really well. Today, we were on it.” It was also the seniors’ firstever win over the Pirates. “It’s really warming to us to be able to go out and beat them by so much on senior night,” Trecki said. “It was our one last ride.”

“We don’t want to quit,” he said. “We want to play for four quarters and not give up.” The Pirates are 1-1 on the season after their loss to the Sandcrabs. They smoked Warner Christian

Matanzas’ flag football team was down just a touchdown in the final minute of the first half in their game against Seabreeze on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 26. Then the Sandcrabs scored another touchdown — a tough, two-handed grab on a play that was otherwise well-defended by the Pirates. The Pirates fell behind 13-0, and their resolve quickly deteriorated from there. Missed flag pulls, blown defensive assignments, miscommunications on offense.Some Pirates had their heads down, some were visibly frustrated and some pointed fingers at one another. Matanzas head coach Blake Hillman used it as a teaching moment after the 35-0 home loss to the Sandcrab.

Hoods for Heroes Flagler County Rotary Club buys protective hoods for 115 firefighters

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Rotary Club of Flagler County President Cindy Kiel Evans didn’t realize the true dangers a firefighter faces until her first husband — the father of her daughters — was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer, after 25 years of exposure to harmful chemicals as a firefighter at Cape Kennedy. During a presentation on Tuesday, March 26, at the Emergency Operations Center, firefighter

representatives from the Flagler County and Flagler Beach departments gathered to receive new protective hoods that will block 99.9% of the harmful chemicals firefighters encounter from getting into the pores around their neck and head, said Jeff Rountree, Hoods for Heroes co-founder. The donation is a collaboration between the Rotary Club of Flagler County and Hoods for Heroes, a nonprofit based in Orange Park that works to reduce cancer in the fire service. The club, with a matching grant from the Rotary International Foundation, purchased 90 hoods for a total of $11,250. Additionally, Jeff Evans State Farm Agency of Palm Coast and State Farm Corporate purchased the additional

hoods, making a total of about 115, for $2,875. “We’re excited that now every firefighter in Flagler County is going to be protected with these special hoods,” Evans said. With Palm Coast Fire Chief Jerry Forte being a Rotarian, he recently had the hoods purchased for the Palm Coast Fire Department firefighters. “All you firefighters, you have an important job, you really do,” Evans said. “I just hope that none of your children ever have to go through this with you guys and that these hoods will protect you moving forward.” Jeff Rountree and Bill Hamilton, with Hoods for Heroes, also presented a plaque hand-crafted by a firefighter, to Evans, thanking Rotary for its support. “We brought all the guys and girls in to show them that people actually care,” Flagler County Fire Chief Don Petito said after the presentation. “We just want to say thanks.” Visit https://www.hoodsforheroes.org.

IRISH SOCIAL CLUB TURNS 40

CITIZEN’S ACADEMY GRADUATES Twenty-six Palm Coast residents graduated in March from the Palm Coast Citizen’s Academy, a comprehensive program designed to educate interested residents about the operation and workings of their city government, according to a press release. The graduating class — the 45th in the program’s history — spent five weeks learning about city departments and visiting City Hall, the Community Center, main Fire Station 25, Water Treatment Plant No. 3 and Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. The class also attended a Palm Coast City Council meeting together. This session’s graduates were Rhonda Barner, Walt Barner Jr., Mark Burda, Daniel Cauley, Patricia Cauley, David

The Irish Social Club of Palm Coast held its monthly meeting on March 13, at the Elks Club, to install the new officers for 2019 and celebrate the 40th anniver-

sary of the club. The club was formed by three couples who wanted friends and neighbors to gather monthly for an evening of socializing. In January 1979, a notice was put in the newspaper that anyone interested in joining a social club should call one of the couples. On Thursday, March 22, 1979, unanimous approval was given to the formation the club. The membership of the club was opened to “all people who are Irish and to those who wish they were.” The purpose of the organization is primarily social and charitable. Since its inception, the club has been active raising money and donating goods to organizations in the community, as well as granted scholarships annually to graduating high school seniors. The club meets the second Wednesday of each month, except July and August, at the Elks Club. Call Eileen at 4455725.

FIREFIGHTERS RAISE CANCER AWARENESS, HONORING ONE OF THEIR OWN Running into burning buildings is not the biggest killer of America’s firefighters; it’s the cancer they get from doing their job, according to a press release from the city of Palm Coast. Firefighters face a 9% higher rate of cancer diagnoses and 14% more in cancerrelated deaths compared to the general population in the U.S, the release states. That sobering statistic has a name and face in the Palm Coast Fire Department. In 2014, Lt. Richard Cline was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer. He had his thyroid gland surgically removed, taking the cancer out and saving his life. On March 7, Lt. Cline proudly placed his boots on

display at the Florida State Capitol to commemorate five years of being cancer free. He was one of many firefighters who journeyed to Tallahassee to participate in the event. In all, 500 pairs of firefighter boots lined the steps to raise awareness on firefighter occupational cancer, honoring those who died, those battling it and those who’ve survived. The commemoration was concurrent to start of the 2019 Florida Legislative Session where legislation has been proposed to provide workers compensation benefits to firefighters who are diagnosed with cancer. Florida is one of six states without such laws in place. “We take the concept of cancer prevention serious,” Palm Coast Fire Chief Jerry Forte said in the release. “Our next fire engine scheduled to be delivered this year will embrace the clean cab concept.”

CHILI FOR CHARITIES

two years, according to a news release from Flagler County Government. The big winners, though, are the Flagler Free Clinic and the Family Life Center — the two charities that will split the proceeds. Petito will present each with a check for $542 at the April 1 regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. “Of course, it’s great to have bragging rights and the traveling trophy for the year, but being able to select the charities that get to benefit from this was the real reward,” Petito said in the release. “The Free Clinic and the Family Life Center do great things for the community.” The event, which was held in January at Veterans Park in Flagler Beach, raised $1,082 (net) through the sale of wristbands for those who wanted to taste each of 15 unique chili recipes and a 50/50 raffle.

December 5, 1923 - March 10, 2019

Yetta Jane Souders, age 95, of Palm Coast, Fla., died on March 10, 2019. Born on December 5, 1923, in Hancock, Md., Yetta was the wife of Ira H. Souders; the daughter of Benjamin and Rosalie Younker; and the sister to Dolores Creek, Arnold Younker, and Lowell Younker, all of whom pre-deceased her. She is survived by her three children, Sandra Jean Prettyman, Ronald Lee Souders, and Anne Yvonne Barbour; seven grandchildren; and thirteen great-grandchildren. Yetta graduated from Hancock High School and Towson University, and was an elementary school teacher. She was a life-long member of St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, in Hancock, Md., and also in Palm Coast, Fla. She was very involved in both churches including, but not limited to, the altar guild, lay reader and Steven Ministries. She was a devout member of the Daughters of the King. After retiring to Palm Coast, Yetta remained active for over thirty years in public service clubs, including Flagler County Council on Aging; Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary; and Flagler Beach Senior Citizens Club. She also volunteered with the local Hospice. In 1995 she was selected as the Outstanding Volunteer of Flagler County for her work with that organization. She was greatly admired by those with whom she came in contact during those long years of volunteer service. While small in stature, she was a dynamo in getting things done. She will truly be missed. Funeral services will be held at the St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, in Hancock, MD on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, with Rev. F. Allan Weatherholt, Jr. officiating. Burial will follow in the Church Cemetery, In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, 2 East High Street, Hancock, MD, 21750; St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church, 5400 Belle Terre Parkway, Palm Coast, FL, 32137; or to the charity of your choice.
