Two 16-year-old Flagler Palm Coast High School students discussed killing their language arts teacher Dec. 10 in an internet chat laced with racial slurs. The teacher is black. Both students are white; one is male, the other female. The teens told detectives that they’d just been “joking.” The Sheriff’s Office initially determined that the threats did “not appear to be credible,” and did not at first charge the two, but placed an extra watch on the teacher’s home. Then FCSO announced Dec. 12 that it was forwarding charges to the State Attorney’s Office. The incident happened the morning of Dec. 10. A teacher noticed that one student had typed in all caps on a school-issued laptop, “WERE GONNA GET AWAY WITH MURDUR TONIGHT.” The teacher notified the school administration, and the school’s IT department pulled up the chat logs of the students’ conversation, according to an FCSO report. It looked like this: “My [racial slur] teacher is p--ing me off. ... Im in a bad mood already. I swear im gonna stomp on her f---ing face and smash her weave into the ground,” one student wrote. The other replied, “LMFAOOOOOO,” then added, “Im about to stomp out of this class, Like f---ing throw the desk

at her and leave.” The other wrote: “Kill her.” “I will. I won’t get in trouble, you know why?” “Cuz [racial slur] don’t have rights. ... When are we killing her, lmfaooooo” “Tonight. I already know her address.” “1:35am?” “Okay okay good. We have a time set. ... WERE GONNA GET AWAY WITH MURDUR TONIGHT.” “Thye gonna give you a medal for killing a [racial slur].” “Well its not really murder. Were doing the world an amazing thing.” The students then told racist jokes, according to the report. The girl, who’d started the conversation, told detectives she’d been joking and had been mad because the teacher wouldn’t let her make up some school work. The boy also said he’d been joking, and “stated that the way he spoke with [the other student] on the computer is the way that students speak to each other,” the report states. Detectives determined that the students made unlawful threats and created a well-founded fear that violence was possible. The agency is forwarding to the State Attorney’s Office charges for misdemeanor assault, with a hate crime enhancement. The incident didn’t meet the criteria necessary for felony charges, according to an FCSO news release. The FCSO is conducting a threat assessment on the students. In God, We Trust

Santa Claus rides up to Target in a city of Palm Coast fire engine.

CHRISTMAS WITH A DEPUTY For the first time, there will be a second shopping trip on Dec. 14, at Walmart, thanks to a donation from the store. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

he sound of sirens blaring engulfed the parking lot of Super Target in Palm Coast as 150 patrol cars rolled up with 120 children who were eager to shop for Christmas goodies. The 11th-annual Christmas with a Deputy event featured officers from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Flagler Beach Police Department, Bunnell Police Department, Florida Highway Patrol and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission who came together to make Christmas special the night of Friday, Dec. 7. Eleven-year-old Jeffrey Foust was among the children who showed pure joy while picking out gifts in the store with a $150 gift card, as FCSO Cmdr. Philip Reynolds pushed around his cart of toys. But Jeffrey was ready with his own surprise for the officers. Jeffrey recently moved to Flagler Beach with his mother, Ginny, from Tennessee where his father was a Lawrence County Sheriff’s deputy until his death on Dec. 7, 2011, a FCSO news release stated. As a tribute to his father, Jeffrey wanted to save all of his allowance throughout the year in order to present Christmas gifts to the FCSO. He asked his mother to take him to purchase gift cards so that he could give them to the local deputies during the event. In the spirit of giving, Jeffrey bought 50 $10 gift cards for deputies and four $25 gift cards for the supervisors, who he referred to as the “Big Dogs” at FCSO. “I was speechless,” Reynolds said. “It was an honor to be with him that evening — not only for his personal sacrifice he made regarding his allowance, but also getting to see his great support for law enforcement.” Jeffrey said he wants to be a SWAT leader when he grows up. For the first time, a second Christmas with a Deputy event will take place soon. Thirty additional children will shop at Walmart in Palm Coast on Dec. 14, courtesy of a donation from Walmart. “It starts to feel like Christmas

once we have this,” said FCSO public information officer Shannon Martin. “The kids are really excited and you can see the look on their faces.” Children were nominated by Flagler Schools teachers to their school resource deputies to participate in the annual event, which was founded by retired FCSO Sgt. Larry Jones. “It’s such a great community event,” Martin said. “It fosters relationships with the children, with the deputies.”

JANUARY

City staff are carrying out the City Council’s instructions on adding street lights, improving infrastructure and other initiatives, according to a city staff presentation during a City Council workshop the morning of Dec. 11. The council adopts new priorities each fiscal year, then city staff implements those priorities by breaking them down into smaller “performance measures.” Right now, the city has 56 performance measures related to City Council priorities. Among the goals: Creating a downtown Innovation District, developing a plan for emergency communication upgrades, and promoting the city’s “Be local, buy local,” campaign that encourages residents to shop locally (see more in the sidebar at right). One city goal — evaluating possible locations for a new, multipurpose recreational facility in the southern part of the city — drew a suggestion from newly-elected Councilman Jack Howell: Why not invite the YMCA to build it? Mayor Milissa Holland said the city had already tried that. “It’s just always going to be that they want us to invest in the building, and then they will do the programming of it,” she said. “Well, what if we split the cost of the facility?” Howell asked. Holland said that might work. Howell, adding that he’d worked for the YMCA as a young man, said he’d reach out to some YMCA contacts “and start planting a seed again.” As City Administration Coordinator Denise Bevan pointed out the city administration’s progress in propagating the city’s “Be local, buy local” campaign, Holland said she thought there was a disconnect between city staff and the council about what the council is looking for: Rather than “Be local, buy local” fliers and window stickers, Holland said, she preferred that the city spend its resources on pre-

sentations and lunch-and-learns. “It’s different when you’re reading it rather than hearing it,” she said. “(Hearing it) changes their perspective entirely.” Councilman Nick Klufas emphasized the need to inventory cameras at area parks and add new ones where needed. City staff has planned to hire a consultant to analyze their placement, but Klufas wasn’t sure that’s necessary: In areas that don’t have a camera currently and that attract repeat vandalism, he said, it seemed the city should be able to add cameras on its own. Council members also discussed options for the problem of damaged residential seawalls: The work is so expensive — tens of thousands of dollars — that many homeowners can’t manage it. But, Howell said, some options — like creating a special taxing district to pay to repair damaged seawalls whose owners couldn’t afford the work — penalize the homeowners who’ve poured money into repairing their own seawalls already and now would have to contribute to pay for someone else’s. Instead, he said, why not notify the person with the damaged seawall to fix it, and, if they don’t, have the city do it and then place a lien on their house for the cost? Holland wasn’t sure that that code-enforcement-style process would be effective, given the cost of the repairs. Palm Coast’s staff is also creating a “navigation service” to help guide prospective Palm Coast business owners through the city approval process. “I think it’s been painful for people,” Holland said. “We want to take that pain and say, ‘Let us help you navigate through this very complex issue.’ ... Let’s give them a great experience, but also let’s not stop there; let’s continue the relationship and then build on the relationship. ... It’s not holding their hand, but we’re making an investment to get them to the finish line.”

WHAT’S THE CITY TRYING TO DO? The following is a sampling of some of the city’s completed and in-progress goals. City goals completed: n Create an Innovation District to establish target areas for visioning purposes. n Solicit bid for FiberNet maintenance and installations. n Investigate the viability of implementing a maintenance program for vacant lot frontages. n Request FP&L to provide a presentation to discuss feasibility of underground utility retrofits. n Evaluate Town Center and other locations within southern part of the city with the potential to incorporate a future premier multi-purpose recreation center. n Continuous street lighting plan: master plan, Lakeview design. Goals on target: n Identify ways to educate citizens to shop local including signage and brochures. n Study the feasibility of developing a Palm Coast app to promote amenities and events. n Develop a plan for emergency communication upgrades. n Evaluate and implement safety improvement options for intersections and roadways. Goals in progress: n Create programming to encourage and attract development in the Innovation District. n Provide an inventory of park camera locations and determine if additional cameras are necessary. n Evaluate the feasibility of requiring new construction to incorporate a committed fiber port n Evaluate opportunities to incorporate fiber into city infrastructure. n As part of traffic optimization analysis, evaluate the future implementation of adaptive traffic light control. n Improve communication regarding solid waste services and issue resolution. n Evaluate all existing city software products, determine upgrade potential and long-term maintenance costs. n Florida Park Drive: Engaging an external consultant to identify options through a traffic engineering study to address traffic concerns; evaluating existing conditions to determine feasibility of landscape improvements. n Develop a comprehensive policy to address sea walls. n Ensure proper succession planning for top management.

County administrator, clerk of court at odds over new software Dispute comes as the County Commission prepares to vote Jan. 14 on whether to fire County Administrator Craig Coffey. NEWS EDITOR

A suite of software that county officials hoped would make things easier for staff members who’ve been contending with an outdated software program has instead — before it’s even been installed — led to a dispute between County Administrator Craig Coffey and Clerk of Court Tom Bexley. The disagreement over the new software package comes down to a matter of jurisdiction: Bexley, a constitutional officer operating independently from the county administration, believes that his office should control the software, and host it on its server, because the software is used to manage county purchases and payments, and the Clerk’s Office is tasked with overseeing county spending. Coffey says he wants at least some modules of the software program to be hosted at and administrated from the county’s offices, because particular software functions — for instance, the ones that deal with park reservations, utilities, fleet maintenance, building maintenance, and personnel record keeping — fall outside of the clerk’s purview. Bexley believes he has state law on his side. “My office validates [county expenditures], makes sure they’re correct, makes sure they’re authorized by budget, by the Board of County Commissioners, makes sure they’re legal. … We then make payment,” Bexley said. “And there’s a reason that there’s a two-step process like this; it’s for checks and balances. The idea of putting safeguards in place is so there couldn’t be any illegal or unauthorized expenditures on behalf of the taxpayers. ... The rub that I have now, and the reason I’m having it, is that Mr. Coffey ... is proposing that we take the system that’s been in place for 20 years, where the clerk hosts and administrates, and that he now administrates all the security and the accesses. And Florida law doesn’t allow me to do that. And if I caved on this, that would be a fundamental dereliction of my duty.” Bexley cited a 2006 document from Carl Kern, the pre-

vious county attorney, which states: “These computer systems, including all software, hardware and passwords for operation of these financial computer systems, should be under the custody and control of the Clerk’s Office as required by the constitutional and statutory law referenced above.” But Coffey said the new software package bundles together functions that are currently handled by different programs, some of which are currently run from the county administration side. “The software we are procuring is not a single piece of software” Coffey wrote in an email to the Palm Coast Observer. “It is actually a collection of over 20 functional software modules. About half of the modules are more financial in nature, and they are proposed to remain under the clerk’s control, as they are today. The other modules are primarily functional in nature ... although they may have a financial aspect. These functional software modules are currently on the county’s server and range from the building department, park reservation software, utility software, fleet maintenance, building maintenance, and personnel record keeping (not payroll). The law, protection of the taxpayers, and the other talking points raised by the clerk’s office do not apply to these functional areas that are part of the Board of County Commissioners’ responsibilities ... The handing over control of an organization’s functional software could compromise the independence of the BOCC responsibilities. It could also potentially hamstring the management of day-to-day functions.” Both men said they are willing to negotiate. Bexley acknowledged that some of the new software package isn’t strictly financial. But, he said, “The idea is to have it centrally located and in one place, Which would be in my office, and for us to basically open it up (to other county offices). ... If there’s a possibility that certain aspects of this can be hosted one place or another, I don’t have a problem with that; the only way I would have a problem with that is if it compromised integrity and independence.”

LET T ERS

More questions than answers on Captain’s BBQ Coffey seems to be setting the agenda Dear Editor: On Dec. 4, the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners voted 4-0 to reconsider the lease for Captain’s BBQ at Bings Landing, three days after the lease was signed. On Nov. 30, the Scenic Pride A1A Board reversed its decision to support the proposal (8-1, one abstention) after reading the lease, which was not available previously. The lease is a great deal for Captain’s but an awful decision for the citizens of Flagler County, who own the park. Flagler County residents have voted three different times to have the property taxes raised in order to pay for the purchase of environmentally sensitive land, such as Bings Landing, which was purchased with state and federal grants for environmentally sensitive lands. At the Nov. 23 County Commission meeting — the last for Commissioner Nate McLaughlin — numerous opponents of the lease asked to avoid a rush to judgment and delay passage of the proposed lease. The commissioners voted 3-2 in favor of the lease (McLaughlin, Greg Hansen and Dave Sullivan, in favor, Donald O’Brien and Charlie Ericksen Jr., against). Commissioner Hansen, before the vote, asked if any of Bings Landing parcels were purchased with funds for environmentally sensitive land, but seemed not to care that the answer was: “Yes.” The meeting reminded me of the satirical movie “Wag the Dog.” It seems, in an apparent role reversal, policy is dictated by Craig Coffey. The commissioners were told the old building “had to be torn down”; the septic system could be enlarged or redone (when asked the cost, he said, “About $20,000”). Here’s the things Mr. Coffey failed to produce: any docu-

Thanks for freedom of religious expression in schools Dear Editor: I loudly applaud our courageous School Board members in their Nov. 13 decision to adopt the state-mandated policy to guarantee freedom of religious expression in our schools. History has proven that secularism and “politics of one” have a tendency to suppress another’s particular faith-based beliefs. The current popular chic word of “choice” is allowed, in schools, for every imaginable behavior but that of religion. By allowing religious activities and expression, government is not mandating a particular religion but allowing its presence, regardless of the premises of that faith. Again, thank you Flagler County School Board members. TOM McLEOD Palm Coast

mented studies that found the original current structure needed to be demolished, any documented cost for the new building (all that exists is a sketch), and any documented studies both for the cost of the septic system or the potential damage the septic system would do to the environmentally sensitive land at Bings. Further, Mr. Coffey didn’t seem to mind that the Land Development Code, the structure for all future development, was not followed. No other business could go before the Zoning and Planning Commission, with no blueprints, no planned septic upgrade or new septic system and be heard, and get approval. As a concerned citizen, I ask, “Why is that?” I also found it interesting that the “dangerous building” Coffey described could be inhabited for “up to 30 months” in the lease agreement. If the lease is upheld, the environmentally sensitive land of Bings Landing will become a very large (liquor-licensed) restaurant and an even bigger parking lot. A victory for the owners and a major loss for the citizens of Flagler County to whom the park belongs. LYNNE BRAVO ROSEWATER Palm Coast

Why can’t the Captain’s building be repaired? Dear Editor: We’ve been to Captain’s BBQ many times. Was there just last week. Place is an asset to the area. Clean, food is lunchy and competently served. You even get your name announced on a speaker. Outside, there is evidence of repair on the building. Seems that an able engineer and a good construction company could right what is wrong with the structure. Maybe even find a place for a small bar. The park was busy on a

Say no to low-income ‘Holland ghettos’ Dear Editor: This is in rebuttal to Mr. Jake Scully, a member of the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board, and a large proponent of Mayor Milissa Holland's new “affordable housing” initiatives, which have very little support among her constituents. Politicians are voted in to serve the best interests of those who have put them in office, and when an overwhelming number of your constituents are opposed to where you are leading the city, then who actually are you serving? Mr. Scully simply dismisses opposition as “classist,” rooted in fear and not in fact. The naivete is yours, Mr. Scully. Go to any city and ask to be taken to where the low income, Section 8, “workforce housing” (or whatever you want to call it) is located, and you will most likely find the worst part of that city, filled with all the ills that plague modern urban areas, which includes but not limited to drug violence,

Captain’s is a gem; it needs a new building Dear Editor: After reading about the small, vocal group of people who are complaining about and protesting against the approved lease deal that will allow Captain’s BBQ to build a new restaurant at the countyowned Bings Landing park in the Hammock, I wanted to write a letter in show of support for this wonderful, top rated local restaurant. I have taken visiting family and friends to eat at Captain’s BBQ numerous times, and always enjoy eating there. I know many other locals who are also in support of a very needed new building to house this gem of a restaurant. One member of my family is disabled and confined to a wheelchair, and there have been times when the very limited handicapped parking spaces were not available, and it was extremely difficult to navigate through the dirt parking lot. There are visible signs that the building itself needs to be structurally reinforced/ remodeled, and it just seems that despite a recent upgrade, there is only so much that can be done with the current building. I know I am not the only one who is excited that the county and the restaurant’s owners came to an agreement and signed a lease that will allow a new building to be built to house Captain’s BBQ. I do not believe for one minute that a new building will have a negative impact on the county park or the ability of anyone to enjoy all that this park has to

distribution, addiction, crime, failing schools, gang activity and serious quality of life issues. This is not the vision of any person who has moved into Palm Coast. It is foolhardy to think that the failed experiment of warehousing low-income residents is somehow going to work here when it hasn't worked anywhere else. I understand your support for the mayor. I voted for her once but will not do so going forward, and I recommend to any concerned citizen who is appalled by the prospect of these “Holland ghettos” to vote, until you have a mayor who aligns their stewardship with the interests and concerns of their constituents.

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.” FRIEDRICH HAYEK “Road to Serfdom,” 1944

Dear Editor: The outrageous giveaway of a Flagler County park to Captain’s BBQ restaurant combined with the token “sale” of six acres of county land for a medical office building poses a new threat to the people of Palm Coast and Flagler County. This threat is the loss of all the now publicly owned open space to private business. If Captain’s owners wanted a bigger place, why didn’t they buy privately owned land like other restaurants do? The same goes for the hospital. There is land in the Matanzas Parkway area available for this development. Why take the environmentally sensitive land that was supposed to be there for us when all else has been built over? The county administrator, however, is not to blame for this. Both these proposals were shoved through by the county commissioners, one on a 3-2 vote and the other on the consent agenda, without public comment. I guess when the new Captain’s restaurant takes over the park and when the Matanzas Parkway area has been built over by shopping centers, gas stations, etc., many residents will be happy that the forests and wetlands and wildlife are gone, but others will mourn the loss of a small sliver of what Flagler County and Palm Coast once was.

officials decided to give the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office 10 additional deputies and six new additional patrol cars. One evening in October, a simple little occurrence in my neighborhood saw two fire vehicles and, count them, not one, not two, but six patrol cars surrounding the “nothing” scene. What a waste! BILL NELSON Palm Coast

Editor’s Note: According to Flagler County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Brittany Kershaw, “Before these 10 deputies were hired, FCSO had 1.3 deputies per 1,000 residents. Today, we have 1.52 deputies per thousand — still significantly below the state and national average.” The incident in question was a traffic crash with injuries on Nelson’s street. FCSO records show that three deputies responded, plus medical personnel. “For calls for service where there are many unknowns, FCSO policy allows for nearby deputies to respond,” Kershaw wrote.

Student, 14, in custody for bringing handgun to school

OBSERVER STAFF

A 14-year-old boy brought a stolen, loaded handgun to school in his backpack Dec. 7, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. A teacher at Buddy Taylor Middle School, located at 4500 Belle Terre Parkway, alerted the

school’s administration and School Resource Deputy Cory Petty after hearing that the student may have a gun. The student was detained, and the handgun was found in his backpack. There was no magazine in the firearm, but there was one round in the chamber. The firearm, a .45-caliber semi-automatic, was found to have been stolen on April 23 from an unlocked car on Point Pleasant Drive. The 14-year-old suspect had previously been arrested on Nov.

3, 2017, after witnesses saw him holding a girl in a choke hold near the Pine Lakes Apartments on Pine Lakes Parkway. The victim reported to deputies that the boy had been following her and had tried to take her backpack. He was sent to teen court and relieved of all charges in that case. “Our number one concern is the safety of our students, and thankfully we were able to thwart any plans this juvenile may have had before someone was injured during today’s incident,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. “This student now faces multiple

felonies for his actions. Make no mistake, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office takes a zero tolerance approach to weapons and threats on school campuses.

This incident was safely resolved because of the great cooperation between school personnel, students, School Resource Deputies, the Sheriff’s Office and the systems we have put in place.” Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager said in the news release, “I want to point out the ‘see something, say something’ campaign works. I commend that, combined with the quick actions of our school resource deputies, to bringing a quick resolution to this incident.”

He was not wearing a helmet and had a head injury. Paramedics called for a helicopter, Volusia County’s Air One, but cancelled it after declaring Faircloth dead at 12:52 a.m.

Testing planned at Sheriff’s Ops Center Experts chosen by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office employees who’ve filed worker’s compensation claims for what they say are symptoms deriving from conditions at the Sheriff’s Operations Center — which has been evacuated since June — will undertake testing on the building on Dec. 13. A decision by an administrative law judge lifts a requirement that the building be preserved without alteration so that evidence relevant to the worker’s compensation case would not be destroyed. The building will be tested for various environmental toxins, according to a press release from Bichler, Oliver, Longo & Fox PLLC, the firm representing the Sheriff’s Office employees. The county bought the building in 2013, renovated it, and opened it as the Operations Center in 2015. It was previously a hospital. Multiple rounds of testing at first turned up some mold spores, but subsequent testing came up clean even as more employees reported symptoms.

Report shows crime is down by 17.6% in Flagler OBSERVER STAFF

Crimes indexed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Semi-Annual Uniform Crime Report are at their lowest rates in Flagler County since 2005, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The report shows drops in both violent crime and property crime. There were 737 crimes reported in Flagler County in the first six months of this year, compared to 894 in the first six months of 2017, 847 in the first six months of 2016, 843 in the first six months of 2015 and 846 in the first six months of 2014, according to the 2018 SemiAnnual Uniform Crime Report. The crime report shows crime falling across the state, with a 2018 rate that had dropped by 8% compared to the first six months of 2017. In Flagler, crime in 2018 is down 17.6% from the same time period in 2017. Arrests are up 22%, from 1,190 in the first six months of 2017 to 1,457 in the first six months of 2018. Violent crime — including murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault — is down 37.5%, from 136 crimes to 85, while property crime, including burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft, is down 14%, from 758 to 652. Arrests for violent crime offenses have dropped 23.2%, with decreases in violent crime arrest rates for both males and females, while arrests for property crime

have risen 33.7%. Far more girls and women were arrested this year than last year for property crimes: In the first six months of 2017, 36 females were arrested on property crime charges (compared to 65 males), while in the first six months of 2018, 68 women were arrested for such offenses (compared to 67 males) — a rise of 88.9%. Domestic violence, which is listed as its own category separate from violent crime, has stayed steady, with a 1% drop from 302 incidents in the first six months of 2017 to 299 in the first six months of 2018. The overwhelming majority in both years were assault cases. “The falling crime rate in Flagler County is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our team and shows the initiatives we implemented when I became Sheriff are working,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. “I sometimes hear from the community that their perception is more crimes are occurring in Flagler County – but here is the proof that crime is actually down in Flagler County! Our agency has engaged the community and we take a transparent approach to crime so that our residents know what is happening in our community. Less crime is occurring, but we’re telling you about the crimes that do occur so that you are knowledgeable, can be proactive to prevent crime, and can help us solve crime.”

LOCAL PRIORITIES FOR STATE LEGISLATORS

Water, library, judge issues need state help JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County and city of Palm Coast leaders have asked the area’s state legislators to push for state funding for local water and wastewater projects, a new public library branch and an additional judge, among other requests. Residents’ requests touched on issues as varied as dangerous dog laws, affordable housing and the St. Johns Water Management District’s restoration plan for a local marsh. “The overall theme on this is really focused on water quality, water availability issues,” County Commissioners Donald O’Brien told state Sen. Travis Hutson and Rep. Paul Renner about the Flagler County government’s requests when Hutson and Renner visited Flagler County as the county’s legislative delegation the afternoon of Dec. 7. The county is seeking $8 million for wastewater system improvements on the northeastern coast, including switching septic tank areas over to sewer. It’s also asking for support in making improvements to the utility at Plantation Bay. O’Brien also emphasized the need to add a county judge to help Judge Melissa Moore Stens handle one of the state’s heaviest county court caseloads. “The need is well-documented,” O’Brien said. Renner said that the Florida Supreme County certifies the need to add additional judges,

and that it had done so a couple years ago for Flagler, but not done so the following year. “It’s a challenge; we don’t know what the Florida Supreme Court will do this year,” he said. “But if they don’t certify a judge, it’s very difficult for us to get that funding on a permanent basis.” The county also is asking the state for $500,000 in state library construction program funding to build a new Bunnell branch of the Flagler County Public Library, behind the Government Services Building on East Moody Boulevard. The legislative delegation meeting is an opportunity for local officials and interested residents to tell legislators what they want to see happen during the upcoming legislative season. Government bodies each assemble lists of legislative priorities and have officials present those lists to the legislators during the

meeting’s comment period. Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland represented the city of Palm Coast during the meeting, seeking appropriations to extend Palm Coast’s sewer force main to Marineland and to extend its fiber optic network to the University of Florida’s Whitney Lab. She also voiced the city’s support for the Palm Coast Arts Foundation’s requests for appropriations for its event center. Other issues addressed included the following: n Rick Belheumer, a city of Flagler Beach city commissioner, asked that the state promote beach renourishment and support Flagler Beach’s push to upgrade the area’s sewer and water treatment systems. n Palm Coast resident Dottye Benton, whose dog, Cooper, has been ordered to be euthanized after he bit someone after having previously been officially designated dangerous for another bite, told Hutson and Renner that she wanted the state to change the law so that dogs like hers could, instead of being killed, be released to rescue facilities that would be willing to take them. n S.E. Cline Construction President Scott Sowers held up a jar containing two different kinds of sand, one layered on top of the other: One kind looked like the cinnamon-colored sand that is native to Flagler’s beaches, and the other was visibly lighter. The cinnamon-looking sand, Sowers said, doesn’t meet the Depart-

ment of Environmental Protection’s standards for sand that can be used to replenish Flagler’s beaches during the ongoing beach renourishment process, while the light-colored sand does. Sowers asked the legislators to push DEP to relax regulations on sand that could be used for renourishment. n Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager, Student and Community Engagement Executive Director Lynette Shott and School Board member Colleen Conklin sought additional funding for flagship programs, and for more mental health specialists in Flagler County — not only for students, but for families. n The Rev. Charles Silano said he would like the state to support new options for recovery for people with substance addiction. “Florida is in incarceration mode,” he said. “What we’d like is ... to see if perhaps incarceration would be looked at again, so that we can sentence people more to recovery than to prison.” n Martin Collins said The Sheltering Tree needs $30,000 to build showers and a laundry facility. n Several residents voiced their opposition to a planned St. Johns Water Management District project to remove old mosquito control dragline ditches in the marshes off the Intracoastal in Flagler Beach. Renner said that he and Hutson could not tell the water management district what to do, but could ask the agency for evidence that previous, similar projects have been beneficial.

BRIEFS City to begin annual citizen survey Palm Coast will be holding this year’s citizen survey online from Jan. 2 to Feb. 2. The city has conducted regular surveys of its residents since 2002. Every other year, the city takes part in a statistically valid survey called the National Citizen Survey, conducted through the mail by National Research Center. In the off years — like 2019 — the city holds its own web survey. The survey isn’t statistically valid, because people living outside of Palm Coast could take it, and people could take it more than once. But city leaders still find it valuable and use it to inform their decisions. The 2019 survey will be advertised through an email campaign by the city and will also be accessible through https://www. palmcoastgov.com. The city will also advertise the survey in the local press and will adjust its Wi-Fi settings at city facilities so that internet users connecting through the city’s free Wi-Fi network will be prompted, but not required, to take the survey. The results of the survey will be presented to the Palm Coast City Council on Feb. 26, and will also be posted on the city’s website. The last time the city held its internet survey, Palm Coast spokeswoman Cindi Lane said, it received about 2,000 comments in the written comment section at the end of the survey. The city got 3,910 complete responses in 2017.

Watchtower Educational Center hosts open house after renovations in Palm Coast T

he Jehovah's Witnesses' Watchtower Educational Center in Palm Coast hosted an open house to celebrate the completion of the center's recent upgrades on Dec. 1 and 2, according to Facility Manager Barry Brachna. The idea for the project started a couple of years ago, followed by a year of planning. The renovation of the facility, which is located at 4500 Palm Coast Parkway SE, began in November 2017 and was completed on Oct. 1, 2018. The entire complex was reroofed. The complex also had moisture issues, so any drywall and other affected areas were cleaned up. The facility is also capable of

feeding 300 people three meals per day, so the kitchen and dining area were upgraded. The 24 apartments, which house instructors and other staff members, were redone. And lastly, the 138 student rooms at the facility were upgraded. The open house was attended by members of the community as well as local Jehovah's Witnesses congregations. Brachna estimated that more than 1,700 people attended the open house over the two-day period. "It was delightful," he said. "We were so excited to share this with others." —RAY BOONE

With the holiday season in full swing, Flagler Board Shack, a surf shop in Flagler Beach, has signed on with Fanbank to help with its marketing efforts. Tommy Mulligan, an organ transplant nurse for Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, took over Flagler Board Shack in 2015. The business tries to cater to locals and tourists alike. By subscribing to the Fanbank platform, Mulligan was able to employ mobile targeting and message personalization, as well credit card linking and advanced pricing methods. “As big chains and franchises continue to impact our business, we searched for ways to stay competitive,” Mulligan said in a release. “Now we are able to offer our clients sweepstakes and gift-with-purchase opportunities, such as getting free concert tickets or travel experiences. It’s great to be able to thank the community for shopping local and to have these connections available because we couldn’t make this happen on our own.”

Yes, if you are on water supplied by the county, you are charged a water rate and sewer rate for every gallon of water you are putting on your lawn. Homes that install irrigation wells always see their water bills drop, some as low as under $50 per month. A well will pay for itself in short order, especially with the fact that county water and sewer rates are going to continue to increase.

Matanzas’ girls weight lifting team won the St. Johns River Conference Championship on Dec. 5. This is the first time in school history that the Pirates are back-to-back conference champions. The Pirates were co-conference champions last year because there is no tie breaker. However, they won outright this season with a total score of 40. Second Place: Jayden Marsala (101), Katie Welker (119), Julianna Smith (199) and Chiara Longo (UNL). Third Place: Andie Tice (110), Taylor Phillips (169) and Alicia Daughtry (183).

The Bulldogs’ Randa Motsinger signed her National Letter of Intent to play softball for North Carolina Central University at a signing ceremony of Dec. 5 at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Located in Durham, NCCU is a Division I program that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

FPC football player Anthony Buchanan received an offer to play college football for Elmhurst College in Illinois. The Bluejays are a Division III program.

FPC girls basketball player Brianna Ellis scored a total of 32 points in the Bulldogs’ last two wins: a 64-26 victory over DeLand and a 52-38 victory over Heritage. Ellis scored 13 points against DeLand and 19 points against Heritage. She also had 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals against the Heritage.

Leading up the 2018-19 school year, Matanzas High School never had a girls wrestling team. The few girls at the school who did want to wrestle had the choice to practice with and compete against boys or not wrestle at all. Only four girls joined the boys team over the course of three years. Some of the girls on the team knew other girls at the school who were interested in wrestling, and other female students had approached White about wanting to wrestle — but not against boys. White created Matanzas’ first all-girls wrestling team, which began its inaugural season on Dec. 5. The girls team currently has 17 members, headlined by Makayla Wilder, who became the first female Matanzas wrestler to sign with a college team after the senior signed a National Letter of Intent to Brewton-Parker College on Nov. 9.

Pirates star wrestler Makayla Wilder attempts to pin an opponent in a dual meet.

Wilder was the first girl to ever join Matanzas’ boys wrestling team. “She is the one who started it all,” White said. “She’s been a good role model for the girls. She shows what it takes to place. She’s the standard. She’s what all of our girls are attempting to emulate.” SEE WRESTLING PAGE 15

Warren’s 31 leads FPC in district win over Spruce Creek The Bulldogs defeated the Hawks 70-60 on Tuesday, Dec. 11. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

The Bulldogs’ boys basketball team struggled in the first half of their clash with district rival Spruce Creek on the night of Tuesday, Dec. 11, at Flagler Palm Coast High School. The Hawks’ Matthew Steiner opened the game with four straight 3-pointers to give the Hawks a 14-4 lead over the Bulldogs, who were coming off a home loss to New Smyrna Beach the day prior. Then the Bulldogs’ Dmaghio Warren made a decision. “I told my teammates that I wasn’t going to leave [Steiner],” he said. “I wasn’t going to let him get shots off.” Although Spruce Creek led 30-29 at halftime, the Bulldogs surrendered only one 3-pointer to Steiner in the second half. The Bulldogs defeated the Hawks 70-60. “They all can shoot,” FPC coach

Left: Dmaghio Warren draws contact against a Spruce Creek defender.

Gary McDaniel said. “We changed our help so that we can get to the shooters and play less help. That’s usually what we don’t like to do, but it worked out. I don’t know if that’ll work for a second time.” The Bulldogs were paced by their senior leader, Warren, who torched the Hawks to the tune of 31 points and 12 rebounds. Warren started the first half slowly but wore the Hawks’ defense down in the second half. He fought his way into the paint, using his size and quick handles to get open shots at the rim and to draw fouls. “My mindset was to win,” he said. “With my size I rarely get tired, and if I do I don’t show it. I just keep on pushing.” The Bulldogs’ goal in 2018-19 is to win the district championship, and Warren’s play will be a major factor in whether the Bulldogs will reach that goal. “He’s grown up a lot,” McDaniel said. “The biggest difference is he can play with the ball and without the ball. He understands that he’s going to get different looks. He knows his spots now where he can catch the ball and be effective and where he has to be patient.”

Wrestling FROM PAGE 13

Girls wrestling is not currently sanctioned by the Florida High School Athletic Association. Despite its growing popularity, there are no official teams or matches, and there’s no official state tournament. An unofficial state tournament is held at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando every year. More than 300 girls attended the event last

season. “That’s one of the issues with girls wrestling right now,” White said. “If Florida would sanction it, we would see an explosion in girls wrestling.”

The New York Tenors - PROFESSIONAL SHOW Friday, Dec. 14th @ 7:30pm

Although White has experience coaching girls — including his daughter, Riley White, a Matanzas sophomore who has wrestled for two years — he has never commanded an all-girls practice before this season. It took some getting used to. In his experience, girls tend to wrestle differently than boys. “They’re a lot more flexible. They tend to be a lot meaner,” he joked. “It’s just making adjustments with little things like that. I don’t treat them any different. They go just as hard as the boys, and I think that’s why a lot of my girls have success. I don’t treat them like girls. I treat them like wrestlers.”

Wilder had been training to fight for more than two years prior to her arrival at Matanzas. A student of both judo and jujitsu, Wilder picked up an interest in wrestling because of her coach at the time, who was a former wrestler. She joined the Pirates’ boys wrestling team her freshman year. Training with and competing against boys was a daunting task at first. “I was very nervous to start,” she said. “But I just trained a lot, worked hard and with my team’s help I was able to be better than what I thought I could be.” However, on three separate occasions her freshman year, her male opponent wouldn’t wrestle her and forfeited the match. More often than not, however, her opponents didn’t care that she was a girl. “They want to wrestle and don’t take it easy on you,” she said. “It’s cool because you get to wrestle at the same intensity as them.”

Flagler Titans Cheer teams place at National Championship The girls endured swarming bugs and driving rain during practices — all for a 2-minute routine.

The Flagler Titans perform their routine at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

From the beginning of August to early December, the Flagler Youth Athletic Association’s Pop Warner cheerleading teams practiced relentlessly with the intent to qualify for the Pop Warner National Cheer and Dance Championships. With approximately 325,000 youth participants ranging from ages 5 to 16 years old, Pop Warner is the largest youth football, cheer and dance program in the world. The Junior Pee Wee (ages 8-11), Junior Varsity (ages 10-13) and Varsity (ages 12-16) teams perfected their routines at Wadsworth Park. They practiced in the heat, they practiced in the cold. They endured swarms of bugs and driving rain. When the field light’s weren’t working, the parents of the team members lined up their cars and turned on their headlights so the teams could keep practicing. They were preparing for a moment that would only last about 2 1/2 minutes. The hard work paid off. All three teams cheered and danced their way through the district championship, where they competed against local teams, the regional championship, where they competed against teams from nearby states, and finally they performed at nationals, held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Dec. 3 and 5 in Kissimmee. It was the first time all three

teams qualified for the national event. As the girls performed their routines, the parents watched anxiously. Would they make it? Would they mess up? Would they fall? Those were some of the thoughts that crossed the mind of Tanya Lippke, whose 11-year-old daughter Kenzie Lippke competes on the JV squad. “It’s super nerve wracking for the adults, too,” she said. “You never know what’s going to happen, so you’re always on the edge of your seat.” Once again, the hard work paid off: It was the first time a Pop Warner team from Flagler County placed on the national stage. Junior Pee Wee finished seventh,

JV fifth and Varsity third. A new addition to the competition this year: teams received extra points for crowd participation. Parents of the Flagler teams wore matching T-shirts and held signs to cheer on the girls. And although they were ecstatic about their experience on the national stage, the girls felt like they could have placed even higher. “I d o n ’t think t h ey q u i te u n d e rs ta n d their accomplishment,” Lippke said. “There’s people coming from all over the country to compete in this. This was a big deal. They’re even more motivated now to finish top three next year.”

Cooking up a storm About 125 Matanzas High School students learn cooking and foodsafety skills hands-on.

One of the five culinary arts classes at Matanzas High School.

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Something’s cooking at Matanzas High School. About 125 students in four different levels of classes are in the MHS culinary arts flagship, said instructor Lisa Kittrell. Whether her students want to just learn basic food storing and cooking temperatures for at-home fun, or they are aiming for a professional kitchen of their own, Kittrell loves seeing her students achieve their goals. “It’s important to me because they’re learning a lifelong skill — something that they can use at home,” she said. “If they don’t go into the restaurant industry, at least they’ve learned what they need to know at home.”

Junior Alex Tobar prepares tortillas for the teachers’ lunches.

After taking culinary one and two, students are given the opportunity to take the ServSafe Certification test. The certification is required by most restaurants as a basic credential for management staff. Last year, about 70% of the students who took the test passed, Kittrell said. “It makes me so excited,” she said. “When they pass ServSafe, I greet them out in the hallway with a big hug, and it just feels like such a success for me when that happens.” Seniors Haley Smith and Alex Menendez both passed the certification. For Menendez, it helped him get a job in the kitchen at Captain’s BBQ in Palm Coast. “I wanted to get certified with ServSafe so I could get a job somewhere like Captain’s,” Menendez said. Though Menendez wants to pursue criminal justice after high school graduation, he is excited to keep cooking things like homemade queso and cookies for his family. Smith was hired at Subway in part because of the certification, she said. Smith said skills from this class help her most with her job at Subway. She’s planning to major in English at Flagler College, but food will always be an at-home passion of hers, especially creating Asian dishes. In addition to bookwork and notes, the classes get a lot of

opportunity for hands-on learning, as the students often cook for the teachers’ weekly lunches, baked goods that are on sale during lunch, meals for athlete and arts banquets and more. The money raised goes back to the students in the form of scholarships. Kittrell said she holds an end-of-the-semester contest where students must cook ingredients from a mystery basket for other teachers to judge and award. Kittrell takes pride in seeing her students succeed. Two have gone on to the Culinary Institute of America, one is the general manager at Sonny’s BBQ, one is high up at Chick-fil-A, another at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. “If you’re ever questioning whether or not you should take it, I think it’s a good idea,” Smith said about the flagship.

GETTING TO KNOW FLAGLER SCHOOLS Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager hosted Florida Education Commissioner Pam Stewart on Wednesday, Dec. 5. As part of her visit, Commissioner Stewart addressed school principals and then toured programs at Bunnell Elementary School and Flagler Palm Coast High School, according to a press release. Commissioner Stewart announced Tuesday she will step down from her post on Jan. 8 to allow Governor-elect Ron DeSantis the state Board of Education to appoint a new Education Commissioner. Speaking to our principals, Commissioner Stewart said, “I like getting out into the schools and speaking with our principals. It is where my heart is.” She went on to add, “I’ve got almost 39 years in public education and was asked to give some advice. Treat everyone well, no matter what job a person has. Treat them well and with respect. We also talk about the importance of relationships, and it is extremely important. The way we respond to students is really important.” Following her meeting with school principals, Commissioner Stewart was treated to a lunch made up of food grown on the Bunnell Elementary School campus and prepared by students. Those students then showed the guests the gardens from where the food was grown. She then toured the Fire Leadership Academy at nearby Flagler Palm Coast High School, which is a collaboration between Flagler Schools and

Toni Mayes, owner of Peace by Pieces Healing and Wellness LLC, is a local RYT-200 Kripalu tradition yoga instructor. Along with her regular yoga classes for adults and kids, she will soon be teaching the Y12SR program, which stands for Yoga and 12-Step Recovery. It combines the practical tools of a 12-step program with the ancient wisdom of yoga. The classes will be from 6:30-8:15 p.m. Wednesdays, starting January 2019, at Padma Yoga, 5 Utility Drive, Suite 15. Donations are accepted but not required.

The classes at Padma Yoga will be open to anyone who feels they could benefit from a 12step program. This is offered as an adjunct — not a replacement — to regular addiction recovery work. The principles of safety and anonymity are upheld by Y12SR. In addition, Mayes will be partnering with local nonprofit Project WARM, Women Assisting Recovering Mothers, for private classes. Mayes said she felt a calling to bring yoga to help the mothers find peace and learn stress management. Project WARM is a program run at Vince Carter Sanctuary in Bunnell. The partnership will begin in January 2019. Mayes is also reaching out to other treatment and nonprofit centers in the area to offer her services. The classes at treatment centers will be closed to the public.

students ranging from seventh- to twelfth-grade. Twentynine matches were held with each robot participating in five matches. Each match consists of four robots. The robots are paired into two “alliances.” Points scored by each robot in the alliance are summed to provide a team score (robots are not individually scored). Matches feature cooperation between teams with an advertised theme of “gracious professionalism” encouraged of all students.

The group previously competed at a match on Nov. 17 at Patriot Oaks Academy. After participating in both matches, “Todd” is tied for 17th place in the Florida Northeast region out of a field of 124 teams.

There were communal showers, and it was out in middle of provinces at the Cadiz District Hospital in Cadiz, Negros Occidental, Philippines, two hours from Bacolod City. “I wanted to help people that didn’t have access to healthcare,” Kennedy said in the release. “Colleague Dr. Alfonso from Palm Coast has been asking me to go with him for a while. …I’m so glad I did and I look forward to continuing to help in the future. It was very rewarding; it makes you grateful for all we have here.”

Gone, but not forgotten The Compassionate Friends met for an annual candlelighting to remember their children who have died. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

fter a day of rain Sunday, Dec. 9, the evening brought tears. Compassionate Friends, a bereavement group, hosted a candlelighting at the George Wickline Senior Center in Flagler Beach to remember and honor their children who have died. About 15 people gathered under the pavilion for the annual event, which was held to mark the worldwide candlelighting moment at 7 p.m. “We are a small group, but we are

“We have an opportunity to share our pain, to share our loss, to share our grief and to have joy.”

really a part of something really big,” said Palm Coast resident Mae Malmquist. The intimate event evoked emotions from the locals who stepped up to the microphone one after the other to share memories of the children gone too soon. Jenna Webster lost two sons — one when he was 22 and one at age 52. Carol and Bob Evans’ daughter died from a traffic crash nearly two years ago. She spent 73 days in the ICU. A woman named Shirley had to plan two funerals at once when her son and her sister both died in September 2016. John Brady, of Compassionate Friends, mourned the death of his daughter Katie, a mother of four. “The most difficult day of my life was the day my wife said to me, ‘Katie’s dying,’” Brady said. “We can’t explain why our child was taken from us. ... We have an opportunity to share our pain, to share our loss, to share our grief and to have joy — joy that we can be together. We can’t be together with our children, but we can be together with ourselves.” Brady fondly remembered his daughter’s dramatic tendencies and little quirks. “I’m sure she’ll be standing there with a cold Yuengling for me,” he said about reuniting one day.

John Brady talks about his daughter Katie, who died at age 44.

FIND JOY IN THE SEASON

Captain Nick, a local musician, broke the silence of the cool dark night, with the only light being the soft glow of the candles. The Compassionate Friends group meets at 5:30 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of every month (upcoming is Wednesday, Dec. 26), at VITAS Healthcare, 4 Old Kings Road, Suite B. Call John Brady at 610-428-3139. Visit https://www.compassionatefriends.org. Rev. Carmen Royster-Caldwell, a chaplain at VITAS Healthcare, shared some guidance to help people grieve, especially during the holidays:  You have the right to experience your own grief.  Don’t let others tell you what you should be feeling.  Talk about your grief as much and as often as you want to.  Fill the multitude of your emotions.  Embrace your spirituality, whatever that may be.  The key to moving forward is to forgive.  Treasure your memories and celebrate them.
