Will streets be safer for children in 2016? A group of officials is trying to improve road and bus stop safety after a series of crashes involving kids. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast and Flagler School District staff are working to make local streets and bus stops safer for children in the wake of multiple crashes involving children, including one that killed a 7-yearold girl as she waited at her school bus stop. Most of the incidents involved children trying to get to or from school, and resident frustration after 7-year-old Wadsworth student Kymora Christian’s death led to the creation of a Facebook group dedicated to street safety and a petition titled “Safer residential streets in Palm Coast, Florida.” “Three children have been hit by cars while walking or biking to school in 2015 since school started in August,” the petition’s text read. “Our children should not have to worry about their safety when they are going to school. We need to make sure our children have a safe, well-lit path to walk and ride on... We can do better by our kids.” Three more kids have been struck since the petition went up in October, including a boy who was injured Jan. 4 after a vehicle struck him as he bicycled in Palm Coast. Meanwhile, a committee of staff from the city of Palm Coast and the Flagler School District began meeting Oct. 13, less than a week after Kymora’s death, to search for

WATCH THIS! in 2016 ways to make streets and bus stops safer for kids — in some places a difficult proposition, as many neighborhoods in Palm Coast were created without sidewalks. So far, they’ve considered creating places for children to stand and wait for school buses away from the road, changing the location of stops to move them to quieter streets, and holding safety instruction for children. “The initial meeting, we did a lot of brainstorming and threw a lot of stuff out there,” Jason DeLorenzo, the group’s City Council representative, told City Council members at a Nov. 10 council meeting. “Then the staff, our staff and School District staff, were talking back and forth, put together a strategic plan.” The city is working on the engineering side of the problem, considering moving bus stops to city-owned land away from main roads. The school district has already begun work on the education aspect, and plans to use Stu-

dent Problem Solver teams to help educate fellow students about road safety. City Councilman Steve Nobile has also expressed concern in City Council meetings about speeding in school zones and cars passing stopped school buses, suggesting increased police presence. Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon said during a City Council meeting that some communities have cameras on school buses and issue citations to people who pass them, and Mayor Jon Netts said that one Florida city has sent citizen observer patrols out with radar guns to clock drivers in school zones. The observers got speeders’ plate numbers and sent them let-

ters saying that they’d been seen speeding in a school zone, and that if they’d been clocked by a deputy, they would have received a ticket. “It’s helpful that people know that someone’s watching,” he said at the meeting. “When we had the red light camera signs up, people slowed down. When police cars start the flashing lights, people slow down.” And if people know one school bus has a camera, they may be less likely to pass any, he said. “I’d suggest the public, council members, contact their representatives and suggest that school bus cameras make sense — even if you don’t do enforcement and you just send a nasty letter,” Netts said.

Palm Coast celebrates the rebirth of Island Walk and welcomes the new retail stores to come in 2016.

A shopping center’s

Island Walk breathes life into Palm Coast as the vision is realized.

REBIRTH CONTINUES ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

The future of retail in Palm Coast is looking up as investors realize there is a high demand for almost every category, while the city can support another $400 million just in retail growth, according to City Administration Coordinator Beau Falgout. “Currently, residents leave our market to fulfill that demand by visiting neighboring communities,” Falgout said in an email. “Palm Coast has come a long way in the last 10 years, when it comes to retail opportunities, and I have no doubt the next 10 years will bring even more exciting oppor-

growing old and tired,” Falgout said. “If it would have gone dark, it would have had a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood and the city. Fortunately, retailers saw the potential to invest in Palm Coast.” Branch Properties LLC is investing $42.9 million in Island Walk. “It is our hope this investment will have an overall synergistic impact on the surrounding area,” Branch Properties Asset Manager Brett Horowitz said in an email. “By converting a ‘dead’ shopping center into a vibrant retail development, the redevelopment of Island Walk will contribute to the growth of both sales and property taxes.”

The location has been the largest shopping center in Palm Coast since the 1970s. Branch Properties believes the fundamentals that made the center a success decades ago still exist today. “Island Walk’s convenient proximity to residential areas of Palm Coast make for a true neighborhood center,” Horowitz said. Island Walk is already reporting high occupancy before it is fully reopened, which suggests more job opportunities for 2016. Approximately 100 construction workers are currently employed to redevelop Island Walk. Once completed, the center will employ close to 500 people, Horowitz said. “The expansion of retail oppor-

tunities indicates the diversity and size of Palm Coast’s population,” Falgout said. “The investment of retailers in our market reflects their belief that Palm Coast will continue to grow and prosper in the future as well.” The rebirth of the shopping center has been recognized by the Florida Planning and Zoning Association with awards for the impact that will come to the community from the redevelopment project.

Is this the year Town Center becomes Town Center? Palm Coast has long awaited the development of Town Center; 2016 may prove to be the year everything changes.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

Palm Coast’s Town Center was anticipated to be a booming development. Envisioned was a “downtown” area with shops, restaurants and activities, all within a convenient walking distance, with the lake in Central Park at its heart. But the economic downturn of 2007 halted the vision and left the area with beautiful sidewalks leading to nowhere. Withstanding years of stagnant development, the vision for Town Center has not changed. “It is not a matter of ‘if’ the vision of Town Center will be achieved, but a matter of ‘when,’” City Administration Coordinator Beau Falgout said. The recent completion of Palm Coast’s City Hall, which looks

out on Central Park’s lake, should spur the interest of retailers, Falgour said. With the daytime traffic increased in Town Center by the City Hall, the area is more appealing to restaurant and retail owners. “Also, by building the City Hall at this location, it sends a clear signal to those looking to invest in Town Center that the city of Palm Coast is committed to the vision of Town Center,” Falgout said. Residential communities in the area also attract commercial

growth. A third factor to the success of Town Center is the ground breaking of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation outdoor stage and park area in January 2016. The 4,500-square-foot stage will be on a five-acre plot of land located just east of Epic Theatres in Palm Coast’s Town Center. “The building of this multifunctional outdoor stage will greatly increase the development of other retail stores in the area,” said Nancy Crouch, execu-

tive director of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation. “I foresee the completed vision of Town Center helping the development of the whole community. The people that move here and live in Palm Coast are used to having highend activities nearby.” Once the stage has been built, PCAF is expected to raise $150,000, through the Raisethe-Roof campaign, which will be matched by the city to build the stage’s canopy. The ultimate goal is to have an arts center on the property, with a stage and seating sufficient for high school graduations, concerts and award ceremonies.

Six local elected seats are up for grabs in the upcoming 2016 elections: those of Flagler County sheriff, Flagler County supervisor of elections, Flagler County clerk of court, Flagler County commissioner for District 1, Flagler County commissioner for District 5, and School Board member for District 5. The candidates who have registered so far are overwhelmingly Republican. SHERIFF

The Sheriff's Office race has by far attracted the most registered candidates so far, with seven lining up to attempt to oust incumbent Sheriff James Manfre. Among the candidates are Manfre's former undersheriff, Rick Staly, and former Sheriff Donald Fleming, who served before Manfre's current term in office. Staly has raised more money for the race than any other candidate in the Sheriff's Office race so far, by far — for any other local race. Staly's contribution reports submitted so far through the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections office show a total of $90,075 in monetary contributions, $50,000 of which consists of a loan from Staly to his own campaign. The rest of the money comes from a variety of sources.

The only other Sheriff's Office candidate to raise $10,000 or more is John Thomas Lamb, who has raised $10,166.84, of which $489.99 is from his own money. Of the other candidates, Donald Fleming has raised $6,819.99; Gerard John O'Gara has raised $4,578.55; James L. Manfre, the incumbent, has raised $2,531.68; Mark Whisenant has raised $2,103.00; Christopher Yates has raised $775 and Thomas Dougherty has raised $100. With the exception of Manfre, who is a Democrat, and Dougherty, who has no party affiliation, all of the Sheriffs Office candidates are Republicans.

There's only one registered candidate so far in the race for the County Clerk of Courts position: Tom Bexley, the current chief operations officer for the clerk of courts office. Belly, a Republican, has raised $20,875 for the campaign. Current county Clerk of Court Gail Wadsworth is not running for reelection, and has backed Bexley's campaign.

Three people, all Republicans, ave so far entered the race for the Supervisor of Elections position: Current supervisor Kaiti Lenhart, who has raised $550; Kimble Medley, who has not yet reported any contributions, and Abra Seay, who has raised $1,045.

does not do that, and that’s a problem. ... That’s a challenge in itself, for a county to ask for state dollars, for just our county, for a program that’s not treated statewide. We are trying to see if we can get the Senate to adopt what the governor wanted to fix last year. What the House wants to do is to return us back to what we had.”

The challenge we have is the governor’s budget includes something that would be a fix for us. The Senate, and some specific senators, have issues with the way the program was operated in their districts. It has nothing to do with Flagler County. ... Our adults-with-disabilities program is in a structured setting where there is daily supervision, and where the individuals have a chance to still work and still receive some income in a supervised setting. The appropriation proposed by the Senate this year

Q. What are you looking forward to in 2016? A. “I am excited about the prospect of having a balanced budget, and providing some tax relief for all Floridians, so we continue to be a state that is pro-growth with economic opportunity for everybody. I met with Daytona State College and the Flagler Schools S] superintendent, about courses we can offer and how we make sure that once we make Florida attractive to business, we actually have people with the skills to fill those jobs. It’s about giving everybody as much opportunity as possible.”

‘That black male happens to be my son’: Racial profiling in Palm Coast MARJORIE VINCENT-TRIPP GUEST WRITER

This is particularly for the resident of Grand Landings subdivision who called the Sheriff’s Office on a recent morning to report a black male walking in the neighborhood who looked like he didn’t belong there. That black male happens to be my son. Let me tell you about him and his family background. He graduated high school in 2012, and attends a private college as a presidential scholar. He is a talented actor, who will graduate with a bachelor of science in computer science

next May. He is highly intelligent, well-spoken and wellread. He is highly respected on campus and is active in many leadership roles. By the way, when you saw him walking down the street, he was reading a book by Frederick Douglass. I am his mother. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree and was accepted to the Duke University School of Law. During that time, I became Miss America. I had a successful career as a broadcast journalist before I decided to return to school to complete my legal studies. I am now a practicing attorney. My son’s aunt is a doctor. His two other aunts are nurses. His cousin is an attorney. Cameron’s step-father, who happens to be Caucasian, has a master’s degree in business administration and is a senior project manager. I could go on and on about my fam-

ily’s educational and professional background. You get the picture. When you decided to call the Sheriff’s Office this morning, which resulted in four sheriff’s vehicles responding, I wonder why you felt my son didn’t belong in the neighborhood. Was it because of his attire? Was it because of his hairstyle? Or, was it simply because he was a black male wearing a hoodie? I suspect it was the latter, which truly is a poor reflection on who you are as a person. And tell me, how should one look to appear as if they belong in the Grand Landings neighborhood? Must they have the appropriate skin color, dress as you personally would, and style their hair in what you believe is an acceptable manner? Granted, my son has not been to the house since we moved here several months ago, because

he is attending school. So, you likely haven’t seen him. However, your judgmental attitude displays what is endemic in our society today: If you’re black, male, and you don’t look like you belong, I’m calling the cops, or worse. I watched “Selma” last night with my husband. I told him I didn’t want to see it because it would upset me, which it did. He said that had he been old enough back then, he would have done something to help change the poor treatment of African-Americans back then. Well, the poor treatment continues. I hope that you will think twice the next time you decide to judge someone based on how they look. But, I highly doubt it. Marjorie Vincent-Tripp is a resident of Grand Landings, in Palm Coast.

Palm Coast shut off my water when I was out of town — and I’m an autopay customer Dear Editor: I was wondering how many customers had their water turned off last week. We have been on autopay for around 11 years. I have been a Palm Coast Utilities customer since 1989. PCU changed their auto pay system and says they have done various things to notify its customers including ads in the Observer. I am not doubting they made some sort of effort, but I must tell you that I read the mail, the Observer, and flyers from PCU and I must have missed it. We were out of town, with a friend house-sitting for us, who was recovering from surgery a couple of days prior when the water was shut off, putting her into an undeserved hardship. We fixed the problem over the phone as soon as we found out, and the water was turned back on in less than six hours. I feel that turning someone’s water off is huge, and all of the responsibility belonged to PCU since they made the changes,

while we were on autopay, to make sure we got notification, period. After all, we signed up for autopay for convenience and peace of mind. For obvious reasons, the payment was never late. How about a phone call, or a delinquency letter, or a big red letter on the front door for a long-time customer? They said we were three months late and would remove one month’s late fee. Gee, thanks. A year ago this happened with our auto insurance and they gave us a call and the problem was solved without disruption. Poor management to allow this to happen to a long standing, never delinquent, autopay customer. The city of Palm Coast owns the utility now, so are we to expect this type of incompetent decision-making in our future? I would like to know if there were any more autopay customers who had their water shut off. Maybe we were the only ones, but I suspect not, because when we called back later, to see if the water had been turned back on, the phones were experiencing heavy call volume and we had to call back several times that

If we had not had someone house-sitting, we would have had to spend the weekend after New Year’s without water because we arrived home on Friday, late afternoon, and I am sure they would not have treated this as an emergency, and our water would have stayed off until Monday sometime. I understand that water is precious, the city reminds us of this, but it goes two ways. They need to think of the hardship they impose by turning off anyone’s water, for Pete’s sake. It was their system change that brought this on. Maybe a different policy should have been implemented for this one time change to their system. I still love living here. BRYAN BOUTOT Palm Coast

purchased, and they are now in the process of rehabbing the greens. This is loud work. I sit here typing this email at 7 a.m. on the Sunday after Christmas and some kind of tractor is making painfully slow progress with its engine and mechanical parts roaring. It seems, to my untrained ear, that the machine exceeds the maximum decibel level authorized by the city. And at 7 a.m. on a Sunday? That’s just wrong. While I understand that these folks want to start towards making a return on their investment, I do not think we should have to suffer in this way. In my opinion, this is callous behavior, and if the shoe were on the other foot they would be angry as well. I know that bars and restaurants are constantly being monitored for noise, but is this golf course?

RENTERS HOLD ‘GARAGE SALE’; LANDLORD’S FURNITURE GOES MISSING 2:00 p.m. First block of Blaine Court. Larceny: A 42-year-old woman bought a house and let it out to a mother and daughter about five years ago. But last month, she told a deputy, the mother didn’t pay the rent or utilities. Then the homeowner got a call from a neighbor saying that the mother and daughter had held a garage sale and moved out of the house. But it appeared they may have sold some items that weren’t theirs: When the homeowner arrived, much of the furniture was missing, as were the washer and dryer and assorted yard tools, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. The homeowner told the deputy she’d bought the items for the home and didn’t give the pair permission to remove them, according to the deputy’s report. The homeowner didn’t know where the woman and daughter moved, and when she tried to call them, she discovered that they’d changed their phone numbers. ROOT-BEER-SWILLING LAPTOP THIEF 10:09 a.m. 100 block of Wellwood Lane. Burglary: A woman left home for a trip Nov. 30. When she returned Dec. 20, the home’s sliding glass door was open, there was dirt all over the carpet and her laptop and a computer monitor were gone, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. In their place was a root beer bottle, left by the burglar.

Both cars — a Nissan Xterra, which the thief rifled through, and a Honda Civic, which the thief stole — had been left in the man’s driveway when the theft happened, according to a Sheriff’s Office case report. A deputy canvassed the area and entered the car’s information into national and state crime information databases.

They called the Sheriff’s Office, and the woman told a deputy it seemed the thief had entered the home through a bathroom window where a portable air-conditioning unit was mounted. A ladder that the couple kept stored behind the house was propped against the window. The burglar made off with $3,900 cash, an Xbox system worth $399, a Sansei TV worth $129, a ruby ring worth $200, a white gold ring worth $99, and various medications.

Who’s driving the ambulances?

WATCH THIS! in 2016

Palm Coast would like to be able to run its own ambulance service despite county opposition; some pending state legislation may make that possible. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

WHAT’S IN THE PROPOSED LAW?

Palm Coast wants to be able to run its own ambulance service. Flagler County, by state statute, currently has the final say on whether or not the city may do so, and has so far opposed the city’s ambitions. But a Florida Senate bill filed by Sen. Travis Hutson designed to make it easier for cities to get the county-issued “certificate of public convenience and necessity” needed to run an ambulance service — even if their counties oppose the idea — is winding its way though the political process and has passed its first hurdle, clearing the Florida Senate’s Health Policy Committee in a 7-2 vote. A companion House bill filed by Rep. Paul Renner has not yet come up for a committee vote. If enacted, the legislation would take effect July 1, 2016. Senate Committee on Health Policy staff, in an analysis of the proposed legislation, summarized it as follows: “SB 742 amends s. 401.25, F.S., to require, rather than allow, counties to adopt ordinances for reasonable standards for the issuance of certificates of public convenience and necessity (COPCN) for the provision of basic or advanced life support services or air ambulance

A Senate staff analysis summarized the proposed EMS legislation, Senate Bill 742, as follows: Effect of Proposed Changes: SB 742 amends s. 401.25, F.S., to require, rather than allow, each county to adopt ordinances for the issuances of COPCNs (certificates of public convenience and necessity) for the provision of basic or advanced life support services or air ambulance services. The bill details that such ordinances must include standards regarding trained personnel staffing, equipment, and response times to life support calls. ... The bill creates an appeals process specific to COPCN denials. If a COPCN is denied, the bill allows the applicant to appeal the decision by filing a writ of certiorari with the circuit court that has jurisdiction over the county. The bill requires that the county grant the applicant’s COPCN if the court record in the proceeding shows that the applicant will provide a level of service superior to that of the current county provider, as measured by the county standards, at equal or lower cost.

services. The bill details certain standards that must be included in such an ordinance and also creates a specific appeals process for applicants whose COPCNs are denied by a county.” Meanwhile, city of Palm Coast and Flagler County staff have planned meetings on the issue during the month of January. The city and county are on opposite sides of the proposed legislation, with Palm Coast saying the chance to run an ambulance service may save the city money — it could then use ambulances for EMS calls instead of sending costlier-to-maintain fire trucks — and the county saying that it would likely cost the city money. When Hutson and Renner came to Flagler County in November and discussed the issue in a Leg-

islative Delegation meeting, Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts spoke in favor of the proposed legislation. “What happens now is we have a unilateral system where the county has absolute authority to affirm or deny,” he said at the meeting. “What we’d like to do is open the opportunity to open the conversation. Right now, the fire department in Palm Coast represents 48% of our general fund budget, and 94% of our fire dispatch is for EMS calls. A tremendous amount of money is going out of the taxpayers’ pockets with no reimbursement whatsoever. This bill you’ve proposed — we think that would at least open the door to a meaningful conversation.” County Commissioner Frank Meeker spoke against it, saying the legislation, which lets cities appeal the county’s denial of a certificate to a circuit court judge,

“seems to be encouraging local governments to do some empire building while at the same time encouraging local governments to start suing each other on who’s going to be doing what. I think the taxpayers lose on that one, all the way across.” The Florida Association of Counties has opposed the bill, writing in a statement that the current rules were enacted “to prevent multiple ambulances racing to an emergency scene and fighting over who will transport the victim,” and that “in a countywide coordinated system, everyone gets equal, high quality care while keeping costs down.” The Senate Health Policy Committee’s staff analysis of the proposed legislation noted that it could have a fiscal impact on the private sector — by allowing new ambulance services which would make money, potentially at the expense of current providers — and that it could have a government sector impact by requiring counties to revise their ordinances to comply with the new legislation. The analysis also noted some technical problems with the legal process the bill outlines for applicants who’ve been denied a COPCN by their county government. The bill requires the applicant who has been denied to file a writ of certiorari to a circuit court; the committee analysis suggested that a simple appeal would be more appropriate after an initial denial.

Sheriff James Manfre speaks about the disappearance of Bunnell resident George Contos.

Still missing: Up to $10,000 reward offered in George Contos case JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

someone out there has some specific information that will help lead to the discovery of what happened, and we hope that this billboard remains as a constant reminder to the community that we need their help.” Officials played a prerecorded statement from Contos’ son, Aaron Thayer, who pleaded for anyone with information about what happened to his father to

that is too small for us. So even if they feel that it’s something that may not be relevant — please, give it to Crime Stoppers, give it to us. We’d love to take that bit of information. And you know, it may make a lot of sense to us and it may not make a lot of sense to you, but please, provide it anyway.” Contos, 59 and nicknamed “Uncle Waldo,” was last seen May 7. Concerned out-of-state family members called the Sheriff’s Office May 17, and deputies checked Contos’ home at 5853 Apricot Ave. in Bunnell. They found his white Lincoln Town Car empty in the parking lot of Ace Hardware on Palm Coast Parkway May 20, entered Contos in a national database as missing, and sent out news releases May 20 and May 28 seeking information. Investigators found some evidence in the car, Sepe said, but could not release the details. They also interviewed the last people they know of who saw him, and searched areas he’d last been seen. Manfre urged residents to come forward with any information that may help bring the family some closure. “I think the time of this is particularly important,” Manfre said. “We just went through the holiday period. It’s a time where families gather and appreciate each others’ company ... This particular family was not able to celebrate being with their father this holiday. Any information that could make their next holiday a little bit more bearable would go a long way to comfort them.” Anyone with information can report it anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-888-2778477 (TIPS).

Bunnell resident George Contos has been missing since May 2015, and detectives suspect foul play. On Jan. 5, The Sheriff’s Office and Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida unveiled a billboard on North Oceanshore Boulevard in Palm Coast, seeking information about his disappearance and offering a $10,000 reward. “Our detectives have followed

up many leads and interviewed family, friends and acquaintances, and will continue to work very closely with the State Attorney’s Office in this case,” Sheriff James Manfre said at a news conference at the billboard site Jan. 5. “Right now, the leads have stopped, we have no other further information to go on, and that’s why we’ve reached out to the community through this billboard, and through the media, to ask for help. ... Detectives and I believe that

come forward. “This billboard makes more people aware about my father’s disappearance and hopefully can bring somebody with information in to help find my father,” Thayer said. “My father was a good guy, and he would do the same for anybody else if he knew anything. ... Whether it’s a small amount or a big amount of information, anything is better than nothing.” The billboard is on Oceanshore Boulevard about 7.2 miles north of State Road 100, and was paid for with money from the Crime Stoppers trust fund. Investigative Services Division Commander Chris Sepe said at the news conference that detectives don’t know if Contos is dead or alive. Officials believe the case is solvable, he said, but detectives found some circumstances surrounding the case suspicious and suspect foul play because of the amount of time that had passed since Contos’ disappearance. “We don’t have enough to put a solid case together at this point, but we have bits and pieces and we’re hoping that any information from the public would be able to compound what we’ve already developed, and make a case or bring some closure or bring George home, if that’s possible,” he said. Sepe said Contos, described as a white man about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 230 pounds and with a prosthetic replacement for his left leg, was well-known in the community. “And that’s why we feel that the community has something,” he said. “There’s somebody out there that knows something. And there’s no piece of information

Flagler County earns award for aviation growth Expansion Solutions Magazine announced their ninthannual “Top Five” Awards of Excellence this month. Flagler County was recognized for showing exceptional progress and potential in the area of development by successfully recruiting, retaining and/or assisting growing businesses in the aviation industry.

Keep status quo on school grades, School Board says The Flagler County School Board, on Jan. 5, passed unanimously a resolution in support of Florida Department of Education, Commissioner Pam Stewart’s proposal that keeps the 2013-2014 scoring system in place. Her proposal is in opposition to State Board member John Padget’s proposal that would make it harder for schools to earn A’s. Officials have raised concerns about accountability in standardized testing, as well as problems with the timely release of scores, since a law was passed in April 2015 requiring school districts to “not schedule more than 5 percent of a student’s total school hours in a school year to administer statewide, standardized assessments and districtrequired local assessments.” “This resolution is stating is that we should continue with the process that has been in place for the last 15 years, and that we support the commissioner’s recommendation for cut scores,” Flagler Schools Superintendent Jacob Oliva said. The resolution signed at the meeting was immediately emailed to Tallahassee following the meeting, so that it would be received in time for the 9 a.m. Board of Education meeting Jan. 6.

Flagler Beach wants you: More lifeguards sought for summer Job pays $10 per hour. Must be 16 or older and pass physical tests. KA’DEEM WYNN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

At one time or another, we’ve all had the dream of being the person who saves the day, the fearless crusader. Flagler Beach lifeguards live that dream. They engaged in 400 rescues last summer alone and they’re expecting this summer to be just as busy. With that, they’re looking to expand their staff, in order to further ensure the safety of all beach visitors. But being a lifeguard isn’t all “Baywatch.” They have daily training and work-out sessions. On days when the waters are rough, they practice mock rescues; other days consist of reviewing CPR and first aid. Hannah Ferreira, a lifeguard and senior at Flagler Palm Coast

Bystanders and deputies from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office helped remove the driver of a submerged vehicle from the retention pond at State Road 100 and Interstate 95 in Palm Coast on the morning of Jan. 2, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The report states that 53-year-old James Austin, of Ormond Beach, was driving a 2007 Honda Accord north on I-95 at 10:05 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 2. Meanwhile, 40-year-old Seamus O’Conner, of Blackwood, New Jersey, had exited I-95 north and was on the exit ramp to State Road 100. Austin veered across all the northbound lanes of I-95 and traveled through the grass area between the interstate and exit ramp. Austin then entered the exit ramp. The front of his Honda Accord then collided with the rear of O’Conner’s vehicle, a 2015 Chevy Sonic, on the I-95 northbound exit ramp to State Road 100. As a result of the impact with Austin’s Accord, O’Conner’s Sonic rotated counter clockwise and entered the grass area west of the exit ramp. In the grass area, the front of O’Conner’s Sonic collided with a metal guardrail and came to final rest in the grass area facing south. After colliding with the Sonic, Austin’s Accord collided with the I-95 northbound

overpass wall and continued northbound. Austin then entered the retention pond east of the I95 exit ramp, where the Accord came to final rest, and was ultimately fully submerged. Austin was removed from the vehicle by bystanders and deputies from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The I-95 northbound exit ramp was closed for approximately two hours. Traffic assistance was provide by the Flagler County Fire Rescue Fire Police. According to the report, Austin’s injuries were classified as “critical,” and he was transported to Halifax Medical Center in Ormond Beach. He was wearing a seatbelt, and next of kin was notified. Alcohol was not a factor in the crash. The report lists the following as charges against Austin: careless driving, and failure to carry/exhibit driver’s license upon demand. Seamus O’Conner was not injured.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR MATANZAS FOOTBALL

WINNERX2 Matanzas gave up the lead but did enough at the end to secure the win.

JEFF DAWSEY STAFF WRITER

Flagler Palm Coast was hoping they could return the favor to the Pirates and come from behind to win on their field, which they pulled off earlier in the season. Instead, Matanzas used a late score to win 2-1 Saturday, Jan. 2, at Matanzas. After the holiday break, both teams showed signs of early rust midway through the first half of the game, not completing early chances. But, with a little under 14 minutes remaining, senior team captain Dakotah Casale snuck a ball behind FPC’s inexperienced goal keeper, who started in place

Who could’ve predicted this past season for the Pirates? They began the year with six straight wins, eventually getting to eight, and with each win came another level of excitement. But then the season was over before it actually concluded. In a win-and-you’re-in scenario against Deltona, Matanzas fell 21-16. Two months later, I’m almost glad they didn’t reach the postseason because they have something new to play for this season. Matanzas ripped all of the monkeys off their backs, except a first-time playoff berth. “Look for us to challenge for a playoff spot and build consistency,” coach Robert Ripley said. “We have work to do, but, with our staff and our kids, I believe the growth will take care of itself, and we will compete in every game and put ourselves in position to be successful.” Last year, the Pirates and Flagler Palm Coast set an attendance record at their game. With Matanzas picking up its first ever win over its rival last season, and the young Bulldogs more experienced, I expect the previous record to get shattered this year. FPC GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

hired on as the Knights’ head coach, Killins wasted no time joining the school, and he hopes he can show off his speed this track season. “I came up short last year, so there are some things I’m going to work on this season to win both the 100 and 200 (meter runs),” he said.

FROM PAGE 13

While the Dawgs may be undefeated at 17-0 (as of Jan. 5), the journey has not been easy. They only beat the Potter’s House by four points, (Miami) Ferguson by nine, and, though they beat Spruce Creek by 12, Tamara Henshaw dealt with foul trouble, and they trailed for most of the game. The Lady Dawgs were fortunate to reload with more talent this season, and coach Javier Bevacqua believes that has contributed to their early success. “We’re deep this year, and we have different kids stepping up on different nights,” he said. “You don’t know what you’re going to get, because we have so many good players. You can’t take everything away; (opponents) have to choose their poison.” Judging from their undefeated record, those opponents have yet to choose wisely.

SEABREEZE LADY SANDCRABS SOCCER TEAM

The Matanzas Pirates finished last season with a historic 8-2 record.

FPC WRESTLING

Senior Kaz Maia was having a dream season last year, which led him into the state championship match with Jamie Neriem, whom he had beaten three times during the season. He confidently stepped onto the mat but walked off unsuccessful in his quest to capture the state title. Though he recently avenged the Neriem loss at Lyman, Maia isn’t satisfied; he had beaten him there last year. He beat him in all of the important wrestling tournaments, except the one that mattered most. That’s what Maia’s going for, but, in the process, he doesn’t mind picking up other wins. And then there’s sophomore Michael DeAugustino. Voted as the preseason favorite in the 126-pound weight class, DeAugustino has confidently accepted the pressure, and proved it didn’t go to his head, by winning the Lyman tournament without allowing a single point.

MAINLAND’S TRACK STAR ADRIAN KILLINS

One of the nation’s fastest high school athletes, and a recent University of Central Florida commit, Adrian Killins is poised for another career track season. He won all of the 100- and 200-meter races, including the 3A State 200-meter Championship, but there was one race he’s seeking to avenge, the 3A State 100-meter run. Killins lost the race by a split second. “I think about it quite often because of the simple fact that I know things could have went my way,” said Killins about the loss. “But, God had other plans for me, and I look at it as a wake-up call.” Before committing to Central Florida, Killins was heavily recruited by various Division I colleges around the nation, but, when Oregon’s former offensive coordinator, Scott Frost, was

In the last two seasons, the Lady Sandcrabs have lost a total of 13 starters. Second-year head coach Kim Merkel often refers to her girls as a “brand new team.” Yet, sitting at 15-2-2, with an undefeated district record, Seabreeze is on track to have one of its best seasons in five years, led by offensive and defensive dominance. In 19 games, the Sandcrabs have amassed 88 goals on 84 assists, while only allowing 17 on defense. On offense, Madison Politis leads the team with 25 goals and 20 assists, and Alauna Neely follows behind with 14 goals and 15 assists. Elizabeth Murray also has 13 goals and six assists. While they may be young, Merkel has pushed all the right buttons to turn her program around and lead it in the right direction, with a championship in mind.

ever decided to try him at the position made one of the best decisions in the school’s history. Houston has only racked up over 70 touchdowns and 24 wins in just two seasons. Mainland, however, is still seeking its second state championship since 2003, and, with the next season being Houston’s last, this could be the Bucs’ last chance to make a serious run at the title for a while. “I will make sure my team works harder than ever, and I’ll make sure we finish every game,” he said. Houston’s not alone. While losing a ton of talent, a lot has remained, and an undefeated junior varsity team will also look to make an immediate impact. Mainland’s next season will be interesting on many levels.

Halfway through the second half, FPC’s Buchanan Mercius finally got a touch on the ball, maneuvered past a defender and netted the Bulldogs’ only goal to tie the game with 21 minutes remaining.

and was as nervous as I’ve ever been,” Subers said. “There is no better way I could’ve ended my senior year, playing FPC.” After his team lost consecutive close victories to Matanzas, coach Reg Monsanto said, “I was more frustrated the last time. This time, I was willing to settle for a tie, but the last time we outplayed them. Losing so much leadership last year, I still think we’re trying to find it.” On getting the crosstown sweep, coach Rich Weber said, “Coming out of the break, I expected us to be flat. The first half wasn’t good enough, so I made a bunch of position changes for the second half, and we were much more offensive-oriented. “I saw a little fire out of us that was needed. We’re a little too nice sometimes and complacent.” Both teams have home games tonight.

Lady Dawgs use big half to run away with title FPC scored five goals in 22 minutes Jan. 5. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

DISTRICT HOSTS In their quest for a 14th straight district championship game appearance, the Lady Bulldogs will host the 5A-2 District tournament, beginning Wednesday, Jan. 13.

It was a close game for a half. Then, head coach Pete Hald took his Lady Dawgs to the locker room, and out came a different bunch, scoring in the opening minute of the second half and four more in just 22 minutes. FPC routed the Seabreeze Sandcrabs 7-2 to win the Five-Star Conference Championship Tuesday, Jan. 5, at FPC. Seabreeze began the scoring when sophomore Alauna Neely sailed a ball from the distant right corner into the back side of the net in the fifth minute of the game, on the Sandcrabs first shot attempt. FPC tied the game in the fifth minute with a Bella Giuliano goal. With a little under 10 minutes remaining, Neely put a ball into the box that perfectly found Skyler Mayo, who scored from a foot out of the box to put the Sandcrabs back up 2-1. Then, just before the break, Lady Dawg Jade Louis-Juene scored off a volley to tie the game 2-2 at halftime. The Sandcrabs had only two shots but made them both, and, despite giving up two goals, Seabreeze goal keeper had seven first-half saves. In the first minute of the second half, Jemina Virret found the back of the net to give the Bulldogs their first lead. Then, Hald’s shot escaped goal keeper Hailey

Beach’s gloves and rolled into the net. Just two minutes later, Hald nailed a long-range shot that sailed over Beach’s head. A few minutes later, Juene scored a second goal, when her ball bounced off of Beach’s block and ran into the net. Then, she secured a hat trick and the Bulldogs’ fifth score in the second half, when she rebounded a ball on the goal line and put it back in from pointblank range. “They’re (Seabreeze) young and inexperienced, and I think that showed in the second half,” Coach Hald said. “We have some mature players who have been in this situation before. Considering our senior night didn’t happen (due to the weather), and our warm-up wasn’t very good, I cannot be displeased. We put seven goals in, and that’s been our problem.”

2015 Flagler Schools

TEACHERS of the YEAR Ten teacher candidates were nominated by their peers as the top teacher in the school this year. They will now compete for the district Teacher of the Year title. Check out what makes them tick, continuing on Pages 22-25. Stories by Jacque Estes.

MELISSA IRVING, Belle Terre Elementary Melissa Irving grew up in Flagler County, attended Bunnell Elementary and graduated from Flagler Palm Coast High School knowing she would one day be a teacher. “When I was in the second grade my dad installed a blackboard in our garage,” she said. “My teacher would give me extra work sheets and manipulatives, and I would come home and teach my sisters. When I was at FPC, I enrolled in the teacher assistant class. I would get out at 1:30, and go to Old Kings and Bunnell elementary schools. I always wanted to be a teacher, and I knew I’d come back to Flagler.” Irving has 12 years’ teaching experience, mostly in Flagler. She has a standing desk classroom, the first in the county, and one of the first in the country. “Ergotron donated the desks as a pilot program, and visited the class at least three times the first year,” Irving said. “I hope never to go back to a traditional setting. Over the years, I have had my kids up and out of their seats.” Irving taught fourth grade last year, and moved up with her students to fifth grade. “The students I have are engineers,” she said. “They like hands-on projects.”

RANDI FASNACHT, Bunnell Elementary Every morning, Bunnell Elementary school counselor Randi Fasnacht greets the fifth- and sixthgrade students with a riddle, or maybe a survey – something to get them thinking the minute they come through the door. Fasnacht started her career as a teacher. While she loved being in the classroom, she wanted something that would give her more one-on-one time with students. “When you are teaching, you can do some counseling, and believe me, our teachers do a lot of counseling already,” Fasnacht said. “What attracted me to counseling was being able to talk to them individually, and do classroom guidance with them about issues bothering them.” Fasnacht recently held a survey, asking the students what they wanted from her this year. “The No. 1 thing they wanted the most help with, was help with stress,” she said. “No. 2 was bullying prevention, emotional

management, and careers was the fourth.” Fasnacht will be bringing career counseling back in 2016. In the past, she has worked with the older students on goal setting and exploring possibilities. The students can also apply for the TRIO program for sixth-graders to research job opportunities, scholarships and even colleges. Once students are enrolled in the TRIO program, it follows them through graduation. Fasnacht’s job involves student stress, caused by a variety of sources, and she has a fun way to address that issue as well, using HeartMath, a bio-feedback-type program that allows the students to monitor their breathing on a the computer screen. “I use it mostly for test stress,” she said. “I had one girl who visualized songs in her head, and she could get her breath in a flowing motion. It’s about getting the heart and brain into sync.” Fasnacht seems to be able to see the potential in her students. Her leadership program isn’t just for the straight-A, always wellbehaved students; she also brings in students who display leadership qualities but might have some minor issues. “The students in the leadership group start to look forward to school, and make better choices,” she said.

KIM WEEKS, Old Kings Elementary Media specialist and technology teacher Kim Weeks creates relationships with parents and the community, a task that rarely stays within the confines of the school day. “I do nighttime events,” Weeks said. “I just believe in having that connection with the families.” Weeks became the media specialist and technology teacher at OKES 10 years ago, after teaching at Bunnell Elementary for four years. “What continues to inspire me are my struggling students,” she said. “Because when you see that light bulb come on, and you see the happiness when they finally get something, it is just amazing.” When her son was in kindergarten at Old Kings, Weeks came up with the idea of a winter wonderland, the Polar Express room. The Polar Express room is always filled with tiny white lights, and doesn’t resemble a classroom at all. Teachers have teaching sessions in the room, or bring the children in to read. Tried and true events are rotated in and out every year to keep them fresh, and to keep students and families interested. Weeks works with the Flagler County Kiwanis, who helped create a reading room, and the Flagler Humane Society with the Paws to Read program. “I am always looking for new ways to keep the kids engaged and to instill the love of learning for them,” she said.

Five years ago, Jaime Byrne interviewed for a teaching position in a learning disabled class at Wadsworth Elementary. During the interview she was told that position was filled, but there was an opening for the emotionally disabled class. “I knew what this job entailed. It’s a hard job,” she said. “I told him I would do it, and little did I know I would fall in love with it.” She doesn’t do it alone. She has an ESE aide and a “good team.” “You have to have good administration and people you can trust, because you are going to have hard days. It’s not like teaching general ed,” she said. Byrne has created a schedule that allows for the teaching of multiple groups at different times and places during the day. And after watching service dogs work with autistic children, Byrne decided to implement a similar program in her class, starting with a ham-

ster. She moved up to a guinea pig, and now has Scooby, a 3-year-old shih tzu. Scooby is drawn to the students that need him, and will sit down beside them. If a student JAIME BYRNE is physically aggressive or loud, he goes to his special area. “I have a picture of him when he was rescued,” she said. “He was abused, and we talk about why we don’t make loud noises and we are careful around him, because it might trigger memories, just like their memories are triggered by certain things.” Byrne often hears from former students. “I have kids in high school who are succeeding in the mainstream. They are happy with themselves,” she said. While academics are important in Byrne’s class, behavior focus is primary. The class learns anger management, how to express themselves when they are upset, and how to get along. “Behavior is first, then academics,” she said. “You have to have your head straight first, then you can learn.” — JACQUE ESTES

Amber Baumert has been teaching in Flagler County for the past 16 years. Ten of those have been at Rymfire Elementary. Baumert engages her 20 students with hands-on lessons. “I try to make it fun so they don’t realize how hard they are working,” she said. “Demands have increased on children, and they are a bit more stressed out and overwhelmed than years ago. If I can do something in a fun way, I can take some of that stress away from them.” The children sit in chairs with rollers and on big blue balls, all designed to help the students stay focused. Baumert gets to know her kids, and their families, through surveys that ask how they like school, and getting them to share fun things from home.

“Scooby is a certified emotional support animal. He has an important job – to provide unconditional love.”

BRUSHWOOD LN

AMBER BAUMERT, Rymfire Elementary

A board system allows Baumert to spend time with the children in small groups of five. While she is in group, the others know to check the board to see what they should be working on, and who their partners are. “When I first began teaching, whole-group instruction was the norm,” she said. “I have learned that I love teaching in small groups.” This is also the time for some social skills. Everyone is expected to greet one another and start the day on a positive note, even with just a smile. Baumert keeps score. When the students do something well, they get a point; if they are not doing well: “Oh, no. I can do better.” Baumert makes sure the “competition” is close. If they have more points, which usually they do, they get to play quiet ball or hot potato at the end of the day. On those rare occasions when Baumert “wins,” they keep working and finish their activity. Failure is an option — an option to learn, according to Baumert. She often encourages the children out of their comfort zone to increase their learning. “They are going to have struggles in their life and they learn not to give up when they are struggling, and that it’s OK to fail because you learn from your mistakes,” she said.

KATHERINE ACOSTA, Buddy Taylor Middle Katherine Acosta watched with satisfaction as her students dug in the dirt recently. It was just what she wanted them to do: The kids were planting vegetables in the Hope Community Garden in Bunnell, getting away from the classroom and into the community. Acosta has been teaching for seven years since graduating from the University of Central Florida. All seven years have been at Buddy Taylor, teaching science. “Each year I base our study off student interest,” she said. In past years, her students have participated in the Northeast Regional Science Olympiad, submitting science projects they do at home to be judged against projects by students in other schools. In 2016, Acosta is hoping to expand the STEM club.

For now, the students are researching different types of gardens, including traditional, hydroponic and aquaponic gardens with koi fish. The class will document which systems work best for different plant production. Math is also an important part of Acosta’s science class. “We work math into the science with the layout of the gardens, how much space is needed between plants for them to grow. We are getting a second greenhouse and they will need to know the perimeter area, how many boxes we can use and where we can put them,” she said. Acosta gets student input on most projects to keep the children involved and motivated. “The kids have so many ideas,” she said. “Some would like to have a big community dinner using the food we grow, and others would like to have plant sale so people can grow their own. We will have a vote to decide what we will do.” Acosta would rather see her students at outside events like the Hope Garden planting. “I always try to encourage them by staying outside the classroom,” she said. “Not just learn science inside, but take it out and use it.”

LORI DECKER, Indian Trails Middle In the 19 years since Indian Trails Middle School opened and Lori Decker began teaching there, only one thing has remained constant: the location of her classroom. Everything else, from computers to programs, continues to change. When Decker was in high school, her favorite subjects were elective studies that involved business and typing. Now she shares that passion with students. Decker started her career in Flagler Schools in 1989 as a secretary in the human resources department. She’d gone to school to be a court reporter, but went back to get her teaching accreditation as the district prepared to open Indian Trails. She recalled her first day, standing before her first class, and thinking, “What did I do?” Her question was answered as

she got to know her students and watched them grow from immature seventh-graders to eighthgraders ready to move on to high school. In 2014, Decker started an infotech class, and the students began earning Microsoft industry certification in Word, PowerPoint and Excel. The first year, nearly all of the 107 students in her class received industry certification. “They are specialists when they pass one of the three; when they pass all three, they receive industry certification, which is recognized in the business world,” she said. “They also earn a high school credit.” Decker also focuses on keyboarding skills, breaking students’ bad habits and showing them beneficial keyboard techniques. The students are also being prepared for the future with classes on hard and soft skills required to succeed in the business world. “We read an article about how the business world is grading our college students a ‘C’ because of their working skills, their soft skills,” she said. “The working world wants people to be able to problem solve and work together.”

She recalled her first day, standing before her first class, and thinking, “What did I do?” Her question was answered as she got to know her students and watched them grow.

“I want to take them from the neighborhood level, up to the state level, and then to the global level.” COURTNEY VANDEBUNTE

PalmCoastObserver.com

THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 2016

COURTNEY VANDEBUNTE, i3 Academy For the past two years, Courtney VandeBunte has been teaching science at the i3 Academy on the Flagler Palm Coast High School campus. She’s been with Flagler Schools for six years total. On Monday, Dec. 14, her class attended the ribbon cutting at the Hope Community Garden in Bunnell. The event was a perfect example of why she likes her job at the i3 Academy. “If I was still on the main campus, I wouldn’t be here at this ribbon cutting,” VandeBunte said. “I like involving the students in the community and being able to help as much as we can.” Class projects seem to always involve helping others, whether it’s a Sheltering Tree social to assist the homeless, or providing teaching aids for elementary

schools. The students have a 3D printer, purchased from a grant, to use for various projects, but one is not enough. “We are about $400 away from purchasing a second 3D printer,” VandeBunte said. “Sometimes it can take 24 hours for something to print, so with two we will be able to get more done.” The students are currently working with Flagler elementary schools, creating anatomical human body systems. The finished products will be kidfriendly and colorful, and will be donated to local elementary schools to use as a teaching aid. “My favorite part of being at i3 is being able to take a couple vans full of students and be involved in the community. I like having the freedom of bringing them outside the classroom and into the real world,” VandeBunte said. She means “world” literally. Next year she would like to take a step further, to global involvement. “I would like to take a trip to a rain forest first, and then try to get a group of students to go out and do some environmental research,” she said. The class is researching marine science and the farming of coral polyps to be transplanted off the coast of Florida. “We spoke with a man who does aquascape and asked him if he could make us a coral farm,” she said. “I want to take them from the neighborhood level, up to the state level, and then to the global level.”

MICHELLE CZARNECKI, Matanzas High Without saying a word, and from across the room, Michelle Czarnecki gives a student instructions. As the student responds, the person next to her says, ‘I want to learn that secret language.” The “secret language” is American Sign Language, and Czarnecki has been teaching it since 2007 at Matanzas High School. Czarnecki was hired by the school specifically to establish the program. In the subsequent eight years she has expanded it to include on and off-site events, and a sign language club. “Some have deaf family members, and there’s ‘Switched at Birth,’ with deaf characters,” Czarnecki said. “That’s great for our program because they see how it works.” Czarnecki takes a bus full of students to homecoming at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine every year. It is one of the ways she immerses her students in the language and culture. In March, students who have

scores 85% or higher, will have the opportunity to go on the third annual trip to Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. “They get a full day at Gallaudet,” she said. “They (the university) give us a tour and we split into smaller groups to observe classes. They also get to visit the elementary school.” Czarnecki encourages her students to take what they learn beyond the classroom, with monthly events at Starbucks on State Road 100, and participation in the monthly deaf social at the Volusia Mall food court. The students have also become the teacher, by teaching after-school classes to faculty and students not enrolled in the program. When she isn’t with her sign language students, Czarnecki is in charge of the student government leadership programs. In front of a Matanzas Pirates banner, her students present live video morning announcements submitted by the staff. The announcements begin with the pledge of allegiance and the MHS Color Guard. This group, many who have been in her sign language classes, is also community focused, from hosting some of the most successful homecomings in the school’s history, to fundraisers for Make A Wish, and Pennies for Leukemia foundations. She is proud of her students paying it forward. “If one or two of my students become interpreters or teachers, they are touching that many additional lives,” she said. — JACQUE ESTES

The reward for Nelson is the satisfaction of watching young people like that, who have succeeded as drivers. “We have a lot of success stories. The fact that we can change people’s lives in a short period of time, and start people in new careers, that’s invaluable,” Nelson said.

David Nelson, CDL Program Facilitator for the Flagler Technical Institute, started driving trucks when he was 18 years old. “I drove garbage trucks, and then on the oil fields in Texas,” Nelson said. “I have driven regionally and coast-to-coast.” His travels brought him to Flagler County in 2002, and to what would become a new teaching career. “I was looking for a trucking company and found the school by accident,” he said. “When I went over they thought I was a registering student, and I was inquiring about an instructor position.” In February 2003 he became a part-time instructor, and worked his way into a full-time position and then became program manager. FTI students hear first-hand, from Nelson and from graduates of the program, what to expect in a truck-driving career. Former students are encouraged to visit, bring their rigs, and enhance the students’ studies. Nelson is reminded of the difference he and his team are making in eight short weeks when he runs into former students out at the store, or in one case, a gas station. Headed for Starke to attend a refresher course, Nelson saw a student who had been in his class 12 years before. “He was 20 then and now 32

Hot Diggity Dogs adds a new pavilion to give customers a dry and shady seating area.

GROUP TACKLES EATING DISORDERS The Serenity Project, a new local support group of Eating Disorders Anonymous, will meet at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 156 Florida Park Drive North. Eating Disorders Anonymous is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other, so that they may solve their common problems, and help others recover from eating disorders. The only requirement for membership is a desire to recover from an eating disorder. There are no fees. Diets and weight management techniques do not solve our thinking problems. Balance — not abstinence — is the goal. For information, email Nicole at edapalmcoast@gmail.com.

Hot Diggity Dogs in Bunnell is undergoing renovations to provide a sheltered area for customers to enjoy their meals.

Ever since the restaurant underwent a change in ownership in July, new owner Pedro Vicens has worked to create a more comfortable environment for customers to enjoy their specialty hot dogs.
