TOURISM TAX INCREASE?

A 1% increase seems to be a given.

But Commissioner Donald O’Brien proposed increasing the share of the money that will be used for beach restoration, rather than promotions.

Commissioners favor raising tourism tax, County plans for increasing amount set aside for beach water access spots Commissioner Donald O’Brien proposed increasing the share of the money that will be used for beach restoration.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

County Commissioners at a meeting March 6 favored a proposal to add an additional 1% of tourist sales tax. But they didn’t vote on the plan, because Commissioner Donald O’Brien suggested a tweak: increasing the percentage of tourist tax money set aside for beach restoration, while lowering the percentage allotted for promotional activity.

The board decided to study O’Brien’s proposal and hold a vote in the future.

The county’s rationale for adding the 1% tax — which would largely affect tourists staying at county hotels, motels and vacation rentals — has been to raise additional money for beach restoration projects to repair damage to county beaches caused by Hurricane Matthew. The county expects grants from state and federal agencies but may have to match those grants with money of its own.

The current tourist tax rate in Flagler County is 4%. The proposal initially considered by the

County Commissioner Donald O'Brien.

County Commission at a special meeting with the county’s Tourism Development Council Feb. 20 would have added an additional 1%, and also rearranged the way the tourist tax money would be split between the three funds it’s funneled into.

The proposal the board heard Feb. 20 and considered again March 6, put forward by county tourism chief Matt Dunn, would have raised the beach restoration fund’s share of the money to 40% the first year, 30% the following year and 20% the third year, but kept the promotions fund’s share — which is overseen by Dunn and the Tourist Development Council — at 60% each year. The third fund, a capital projects fund, would get nothing the first year, 10% the second year and 20% the third year.

That plan gives the beach res-

toration fund much more money than it has been getting — the current allocation has been 11.25% of the total to the beach fund, 22.5% to capital projects and 66.25% to promotions — but also adds about $200,000 to the promotions fund.

O’Brien suggested shifting more money during the first year toward beach restoration and cutting back funding for the promotions fund, which has a $1.3 million surplus.

He proposed that, during the first year, 60% of the money should go to beach restoration (an estimated $1.5 million), and 40% to promotions (an estimated $1 million), rather than the other way around, as Dunn had proposed.

County commissioners Gregory Hansen, Charlie Ericksen and Dave Sullivan liked O’Brien’s proposal.

But County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin, who chairs the Tourist Development Council, said he’d like to have a chance to consider O’Brien’s proposal before voting on it.

He proposed a joint workshop between the County Commission and the Tourist Development Council on O’Brien’s proposal.

The other commissioners agreed to the meeting. It will be held at 1 p.m. March 20 at the Emergency Operations Center behind the Government Services Building at 1769 E. Moody Blvd. in Bunnell.

Flagler County will plan to set aside land for contractors to use to access the Intracoastal.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Building a dock or a bridge often requires water access for contractors, but those access points are limited. At a March 6 meeting, the county discussed possible plans for commercial access points along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Among FIND’s concerns are making sure that enough locations are set aside for contractors doing marine construction work to access the waterway, FIND vice chairman and former Palm Coast mayor Jon Netts told the County Commission at a March 6 County Commission meeting.

“Big or small, they have to have a way to get onto the water, with their construction equipment,” Netts said. “As the waterfront develops, from the whole length, from Nassau County down to Miami-Dade, the number of commercial access points is decreasing. ... What I don’t want to have happen is, 50 years from now, someone says, ‘What were those people thinking about 50 years ago when they let this happen?’”

FIND has employed surveyors to find out where there are existing and potential commercial access points. Flagler County

WHAT IS FIND? The Florida Inland Navigation District, or FIND, is a 12-county special taxing district created in 1927 to help raise and manage funds for the Intracoastal Waterway, which is itself managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

needs to have a total of about four, Netts said, which would be spread across the county’s 18 miles of waterway. Surveyors employed

by FIND will begin working in the Flagler County starting March 9, Netts said.

FIND hopes to produce a document on possible locations by mid-April, and Netts requested that the County Commission convene a meeting with the communities on the waterway to review the document and make decisions.

The county can also apply for up to $100,000 in FIND grants for maritime master planning for the rest of the waterway, Netts said.

County Administrator Craig Coffey said the county would appoint Tim Telfer, its environmental manager, as a point person for the FIND surveying team.

FIND money has been used for the construction of Betty Steflik Memorial Preserve, Waterfront Park and the Long Creek Nature Preserve, and renovations to Herschel King Park, Moody Boat Ramp and Bing’s Landing, Netts said.

Local Indivisible groups rally and protest about national, local issues Local groups inspired by the ‘Indivisible Guide’ are brining a progressive voice to Flagler County.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

At a recent progressive protest outside U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis’ office in Port Orange, Palm Coast resident Diana Becker — a 64-year-old local organizer who’s volunteered for Democratic campaigns — walked across the partisan line to speak to a counter-protestor who was part of a group clad in paramilitary fatigues.

“I started asking him what he was all about, and we started having a political conversation about (President Donald Trump’s) tax returns,” Becker said. “But we did agree that we needed to know (Trump’s) conflicts of interest, so we did find some common ground. I asked him, ‘If someone would hurt me or someone on the (progressive) side, would you help us?’ and he said ‘Absolutely,’ so we ended up taking pictures together.”

That’s the kind of conversation that Becker, the organizer of the Indivisble Flagler Facebook page, would like to see more of.

Michael Gussman, a 51-yearold Palm Coast resident and Indivisible Flagler member, said he’s shaken hands with people on the other side of the line at recent protests, trying to find common ground to have a civil discussion.

Doing that, he said, shows people on the other side of the political divide that progressive protestors are real people with genuine concerns — not paid shills, as some conservative figures have alleged.

Indivisible Flagler is one of a number of local organizations campaigning for progressive causes and pushing lawmakers to oppose Trump’s initiatives.

Indivisible Flagler and Indivisible Palm Coast, Hammock Beach Florida 6th District have been organizing daily political actions in coordination with the larger, grass roots Indivisible movement, is inspired by a document called the “Indivisible Guide,” written by former congressional staffers.

The document lays out strategies local activists opposed to the Trump administration can take to push their government to listen to their demands — like calling senators and congressmen, holding marches and appearing at town halls with coordinated sets of questions.

Becker formed Indivisible Flagler in January.

“I read the ‘Indivisible Guide, ‘and I kept thinking, “This is all about local, and if I don’t do it, who’s going to?’” she said. “So I decided to start a Facebook group called Indivisible Flagler, and here we are.”

Jim Nardi holds a sign outside the Palm Coast Observer office, supporting freedom of the press.

The group started with about 20 people. Now it has 350. Indivisible Palm Coast has 150 members.

Becker is familiar with local organizing. She canvassed for Hillary Clinton’s primary campaign in 2007, then on Barack Obama’s campaign after he won the primary, then on Clinton’s campaign again for this past Democratic primary and general presidential election.

Indivisible Flagler quickly linked up with other other groups such as Indivisible Palm Coast, Hammock Beach, Florida 6th District and Indivisible Floridian Unity (based in Ormond Beach) to hold joint events.

Locally, Indivisible Flagler and Indivisible Palm Coast held a rally for press freedom March 2, holding up signs supporting press freedom outside local newspaper offices. Members joined up with members of other Indivisible groups for press freedom rallies in Daytona Beach, and for protests against Trump’s travel ban.

Indivisible Floridian Unity organizers Dr. Jessica Owens, 33, and Dr. Brian Coleman, 34, joined up with Becker and a group from Indivisible Flagler and Indivisible Palm Coast to take part in a beach cleanup event in Flagler Beach March 4; Indivisible Flagler members also protested in front of Palm Coast City Hall March 7 to oppose recent remarks by City Manager Jim Landon denigrating FlaglerLive.com The Saturday, March 4 beach cleanup, undertaken in concert with the nonpartisan Flagler Beach All-Stars volunteer group, was social, not political — at least, until the Indivisible group chalked the words “Indivisible Flagler rocks” on the chalkboard at the Funky Pelican.

But consistent, small-scale,

events like that that keep Indivisible Palm Coast and Indivisible Flagler cohesive.

Aside from actions Indivisible members can take on individually — such as calling members of Congress — the local Indivisible groups provide regular ways for members to get together, socialize and feel like they’re doing something to support their political ideals.

Every week, the events page of the Indivisible groups’ Facebook pages offer a number of events that members can take part in in Flagler County or the greater northeast Florida area.

Owens and Coleman, who recently moved to the area, said Indivisible helped them find a community of like-minded people.

But the groups are not homogenous. Indivisible does not have a single, set platform, although local groups’ actions have tended to oppose Trump’s actions and support progressive causes such as immigrant rights, funding for public education, LGBT rights and separation of church and state.

“You wont find two groups that are the same,” Owens said.

The local groups are trying to focus on policy, Becker said, and people can take part in an Indivisible action on one policy even if they disagree with the group about a different policy. Or, she said, they can focus on the interest that are closest to them.

For Becker, that may be the Affordable Care Act: She found

“I read the ‘Indivisible Guide’, and I kept thinking, ‘This is all about local, and if I don’t do it, who’s going to?’ So I decided to start a Facebook group called Indivisible Flagler, and here we are.”

DIANA BECKER

herself designated as having a pre-existing condition after she donated a kidney to a stranger many years ago, and the ACA, she said, made it possible for people in her position to access decent insurance coverage.

Owens said that some of her priorities are women’s rights and the Black Lives Matter movement, while Coleman, a medical doctor, is a supporter of Medicare for all.

“The national Indivisible group sends down the issue that were supposed to focus on, but the local groups all have pet issues and we decide,” Owens said. “If a rogue tweet goes out, or if an executive order comes out, we jump on that.”

And although members of the local Indivisible groups’ Facebook pages sometimes post political cartoons and memes that take jabs at Trump, Becker and Owens said that people who voted for him would be welcome to take part in individual Indivisible actions that align with their values — opposing an individual nominee, for instance, or pushing for an inquiry into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Party affiliation doesn’t matter, either.

“We’re actually nonpartisan; we don’t even ask,” Becker said.

Gussman said the group doesn’t want to base itself solely in opposition to the administration.

“We’re trying to stay positive and focused on a more progressive-type movement,” he said.

Becker said that means knowing how to reach out — “how to talk to people that disagree with you” — and how to come together as progressives.

“A few years ago, we were not connected,” she said. “We may have been doing things apart.

We’re more direct-action now.”

A 59-year-old Palm Coast man died the night of March 5 after a car struck him he tried to cross Palm Coast Parkway with his bicycle. The man’s name has not been released.

The crash happened at about 6:45 p.m. The cyclist was at the northwest corner of the intersection of Palm Coast Parkway and Boulder Rock Drive, and tried to cross southward across Palm Coast Parkway at the crosswalk, but did not have a crossing signal, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.

Palm Coast resident Nicholas Malkowskie, 17, was driving west on Palm Coast Parkway in a a 2010 Dodge Nitro, and struck the bicyclist when the cyclist “failed to yield the right of way” to the Dodge, according to the FHP report.

Rescuers took the bicyclist by ambulance to Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where he died. Malkowskie was not injured, according to the report.

Man tries to lure children into woods A Palm Coast father called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Monday, March 6, after a strange man tried to lure his daughter into the woods, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

The father told a deputy that his 9-year-old daughter and 11-yearold son were outside playing in front of their house in the P-Section when they were approached by a man who offered the daughter a $20 bill and “asked if she knew of any good hiding places in the vacant wooded lot across the street,” according to a Sheriff’s Office case report.

The children came home crying.

The father called 911 and told a dispatcher what happened. A neighbor described the man as white, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall and 145 pounds, wearing long pants and a light-colored collared shirt unbuttoned over a T-shirt.

The man has a black tattoo on the right side of his face and may have been carrying a black backpack. He was last seen passing through a wooded lot at Pepper Lane. Sheriff’s Office deputies canvassed the area but did not find the man.

Deputies hurt as suspects resist Three Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies were hurt the weekend of March 3-5 as suspects or inmates resisted orders or resisted arrest, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.

The deputies were treated at the hospital and have since been released.

Michelle Ann Wood Taylor, a 16-year-old Palm Coast resident and Matanzas High School student, was killed March 2 when a car struck her as she walked alongside Lakeview Boulevard.

Elizabeth Ann Sherman, 21, was walking with Taylor, and was injured.

“Michelle was adored by her parents,” said Heather Beaven, a friend of the Taylor family. “She loved her dog Smooch, a little black and white fluff ball. She was my daughters’ dear friend, and she made sure they never needed to fight over her attention. There was enough heart in Michelle to spread around. In middle school, she blossomed when she found archery. She learned to surf even though she’d burn the minute she hit the beach. And when she found band at MHS, she found her passion.”

Palm Coast resident Diana Minotti said Taylor was a baby sitter for Minotti’s son for years, and was responsible and kind.

“We used to call her his guardian,” Minotti said. “She was always there to look out for him.

She was just helpful, always helpful. Even though she was much older than him, she always treated him as if he was on her level. ... She was a shining star. She was a can-do girl. Her accomplishments at 16 are unbelievable.”

Taylor was a member of the Matanzas High School Band and the school’s Drama Club, and enjoyed archery, surfing and reading. She was a cast member for the school’s planned production of “Sweeney Todd,” scheduled to open in late April.

The crash happened at about 8:50 p.m. March 2, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release. The two young women were walking north along the right shoulder of Lakeview Boulevard near Laramie Drive.

extension of Belle Terre Parkway north of its intersection with Matanzas Woods Parkway.

Daytona Beach resident Yajaira Rojas Torres, 37, was driving north on Lakeview in a Honda Civic.

“Torres was unable to see the pedestrians due to the area being very dark, and the pedestrians were wearing darker colored clothing,” the Florida Highway Patrol news release stated.

Torres struck both of them.

Taylor died at the scene of the crash. Sherman was transported by helicopter to UF Health Jacksonville in serious condition.

Taylor was a 10th-grader at Matanzas, and the school district has provided counseling at the school to help the school community after her death.

“We had counselors the campus all day today to talk to the students and faculty and staff,” school district spokesman Jason Wheeler said March 3. “We’re also having counselors available tomorrow (Saturday, March 4) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and as needed next week. We’re reaching out to know that our students are OK. (Taylor) is a popular student, active in the fine arts programs.”

Michelle’s parents, Mike and Beverly Taylor, also thanked the group for supporting them and for loving their daughter.

Sheriff’s Office Chaplain Juan Schembri led the group in prayer, and Matanzas Principal Dr. Earl Johnson admitted that the tragedy had tested his faith.

But, Johnson said as he pointed to the crowd of Michelle’s peers holding candles, “Look around and see the lives that Michelle has touched.” He said to the mourners, “I love you. Let’s stick together during this tough time.”

Michelle Taylor made others feel better when she walked in the room. She braided one friend’s hair every day at band camp to keep her cool. She ate late at night at Stake n’ Shake with another friend. She helped inspire another to do well in school. The 16-year-old was honored March 6 by dozens of fellow members of the Matanzas High School band in a memorial near the spot where she was struck and killed by a car on March 2, on Lakeview Drive.

Band members rode in buses to the dark spot on the road, which was blocked off by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and illuminated with flood lights, north of Matanzas Woods Parkway.

They shared their memories of Michelle and mourned together.

One friend, Michaela Sipes, said, “We may not have been in a blood-related family, but we were connected.” She added, “When I graduate, I shall have her in my thoughts with me, so she can graduate too.”

Toni Whitt, one of the “band moms,” helped organize the memorial. She told the mourners, “Just like the notes on the music you play, they lean on each other.”

She added: “Make the best of who you are and what we are.”

LET T ERS

Well done, Nick Klufas Dear Editor: Twenty-six years ago when I was City Council member Nick Klufas’ age, I moved my very young family to Palm Coast.

At the time, I was capable of, and charged with employing over 100 people, writing business plans, managing a significant budget, handling clients and vendors, and keeping our company up on the technology of the time. I was also providing for my family of four.

I believe Nick, at his tender age, is every bit as capable as I was; however, he clearly has a capability I did not gain until many years later.

Nick remained civil, called for civility, and held his temper despite verbal bullying received at the City Council meeting. At his age, I would not have handled that situation in a constructive manner.

Well done, “young man,” well done.

JAKE SCULLY Palm Coast

A ‘relatively small amount’ of money?

Dear Editor: The question that comes to mind after reading about the Palm Coast City Council melee is why would the taxpayers need to pay anything for a radio show that “sells” fellow residents on Palm Coast? Has there been a threatened mass exodus of Palm Coast that I missed?

The discussion of who really needed to host this show of endless self-PR serves no purpose other than to avoid the obvious question: Do these elected officials and their staff really think the residents are this oblivious?

This recent furor around a radio show that promotes Palm Coast to Palm Coast residents for $10,000 which Councilman Bob Cuff states, “to me is a relatively small amount of money,” is worthy of our further investigation.

His comment is indeed indicative of a “high roller” mentality that might play well in Palm Beach County. Mr. Cuff needs to check in with any resident of Palm Coast and see if $10,000 is within the definition of “small.”

This does help me to understand why he voted a raise for the city manager who is paid more than the Florida chief justice or the governor. That $6,000 raise falls well below the “relatively small” definition.

Councilman Nick Klufas got away clean in this fracas, so far. But when you look deeper

Why would the taxpayers need to pay anything for a radio show that “sells” fellow residents on Palm Coast? Has there been a threatened mass exodus of Palm Coast that I missed?

PalmCoastObserver.com

THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 2017

you might find him offering a “whispered comment” up on the dais that he just might have known would wind Nobile’s clock! Haven’t the good folks of Flagler had more than enough of our elected officials and staff whispering off the record?

Easier still, just ask Vince Liguori, the long time resident with a history of asking good questions. He will give it to you straight and tell what he observed.

But look again and see how the point of this furor is missed. Why did Mayor Milissa Holland not make sure to inform all the other council members of this offer or direct City Manager Landon to do so?

As mayor, you are the agent of the City Council. You act for the body at their directive, you sign off for them on items of record on their behalf, you lead the council meetings for a semblance of order. So why the lack of notice failing to build consensus, one of her most-used words?

This might seem very much out of place with me saying it, but if this keeps up, I will start to miss Mayor Jon Netts!

DENNIS MCDONALD Palm Coast

Ford is right: Signs code is too restrictive

Dear Editor: I read your article, “Ford: Sign code is too restrictive,” with great interest. Not only are current sign codes hurting businesses, but they hurt consumers too.

As a relative newcomer to Palm Coast, I have found it extremely difficult to find anything here. One must drive through each and every strip mall/plaza to figure out what is in them because the signs are not visible.

I have never lived in a city that went to such great lengths to “hide” their businesses.

Businesses pay taxes and help keep property taxes low.

They also provide important services for members of the community. I am not suggesting that we do away with all restrictions, but there has to be a middle ground.

I understand that we all want to keep Palm Coast the beautiful city that it is. However, the landscaping around businesses hide the signs, making it hard for them to attract customers and making it hard for customers to find the services that they need.

Palm Coast residents must travel to Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, St. Augustine and Port Orange to shop in many major stores because the codes are so restrictive here that they will not locate here. We are losing taxes that these businesses would pay, along with the jobs they would provide. There has to be an acceptable compromise to our Stepford-like restrictions.

ALICE LOSASSO Palm Coast

Follow engineering standards, not emotion, on signal

Dear Editor: Shame on Sherriff Rick Staly and the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners for pushing the Florida Department of Transportation to put a traffic light at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Old Dixie Highway. That is exactly what we don’t need on U.S. 1: another unnecessary traffic light.

In recent years Palm Coast has gone traffic light happy on U.S. 1. With the exception of the light near a school facility (at times), these lights are expensive and unneeded. Then there is the traffic light at U.S. 1 and Plantation Bay, another choice based on emotion and not on engineering standards.

FDOT uses a code mandated

by USDOT that is time tested to determine whether a traffic control device is warranted.

These rules are set just so weak-kneed politicians don’t have to bow to temporary emotional outbursts and make bad choices.

Unfortunately some politicians still don’t get it. Adding traffic control devices where they are not warranted can be destructive to not only traffic flow but to safety itself.

How many people are killed or injured because they think that traffic should be stopped in the opposite direction when they have a green light?

You can’t fix bad choices or carelessness with traffic signals. You are better off in making drivers use their judgment.

Sheriff Rick Staly got one thing right: He is not a traffic engineer. How would he feel if traffic engineers started telling him how he should be doing his job as Flagler County’s top cop?

Come on, folks! We have these rules in place for a reason. Had the County Commission asked the state DOT to review the intersection to see if it met the criteria, that would be reasonable. To just push for a traffic signal is not.

Thanks for sticking up for those at risk for suicide Dear Editor: You are doing important work calling attention to Flagler Cares’ search for communitywide involvement for suicide awareness and prevention initiative (“Suicide: A Flagler County Emergency,” published Feb. 15).

Those of us associated with the newly formed Atlantic Coast Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State (find us on Facebook) are particularly concerned about statements made by some faith-based organizations that being LGBTQ is “disgusting, unnatural and aberrant behavior.” These messages

PALM COAST

may be the religious beliefs of some, but certainly have no place in our public schools and other government-run programs. They do nothing but help tip the scales in a very wrong direction for those who contemplate suicide.

Let’s work together to preserve the mental health of those who need the most help.

Let’s keep our schools and community safe for LGBTQ people by keeping them free of faith-based bigotry.

MERRILL SHAPIRO, PRESIDENT Atlantic Coast Chapter Americans United for Separation of Church and State

Who is against freedom of the press?

Dear Editor: On the morning of March 1, approximately 20 local residents gathered on Florida Park Drive near the offices of the Palm Coast Observer to show support for the freedom of the press.

As people drove by, many beeped their horns and waved at us, letting us know that they also supported a free press, and we were encouraged by their smiles and enthusiasm.

There were a few, however, who reacted in a much different way: angry facial expressions and a thumbs down or other finger gesture.

Are there actually people in our community who are against a free press?

Choose between your pit bull and your children’s safety

Dear Editor: I take exception to the two letters from readers in the March 2 Palm Coast Observer, the sob stories about pit bull/ pit mixes being put to sleep.

All readers that are interested in the real problem of pits, should click onto dogbite.org.

They have the statistics of dog bites and fate bites from around the country, and 80%92% of these bites are from the pit bull family.

Look at the little faces of infants and children killed by the family pet!

Please choose between your “mild-mannered” pit bull and having children in the house.

Like humans, many can snap at a moment’s notice. Choose between your beloved pet and your children’s safety.

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.”

Stephen Schoembs, the former executive chef at the Hammock Dunes Club, was found dead March 2 in the back seat of his Jeep Wrangler in the parking lot of the Palm Coast Walmart.

Schoembs, 43, had previously been reported missing by his mother, Erika Schoembs.

His girlfriend, Ann Thomas, 42, found him dead at about 8 a.m. March 2, and called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies found no signs of trauma and no gunshot wounds.

Schoembs had worked as a chef in Germany, Saudi Arabia and Hawaii before becoming the executive chef at the Hammock Dunes Club in July 2016.

He attended Flagler Palm Coast High School, Daytona State College and the Culinary School of America.

A memorial gathering for Schoembs will be held 2-5 p.m. Saturday, March 11, at the Craig Flagler Palms Funeral Home at 511 Old Kings Road S. in Flagler Beach. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Bariatric Surgery Fund in Memory of Stephen Schoembs; send checks to Flagler Health Care Foundation, PO Box 860216, St. Augustine, FL 32086. For credit card donations, call 904-8194625.

Suspected drug dealer arrested Just before 6 a.m. March 2, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies searched a Palm Coast home and arrested a man they believe has been dealing drugs.

Members of the Sheriff’s Office SWAT team and Special Investigations Unit entered the house at 30 Emerson Drive and detained 27-year-old Cyrus Terrell Brown, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit.

Brown directed the deputies to a blue cooler in a shed behind the house. It held mason jars containing a total of more than a pound of marijuana.

There was also a small red soft-sided cooler inside the blue one, containing a plastic baggie with slightly more than 11 grams of powder cocaine.

In Brown’s bedroom, deputies found scales, a grinder and a locked safe containing a stolen 9mm Glock handgun and two stolen magazines.

Brown has been been charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana over 20 grams and possession of drug paraphernalia. He has not been charged with distributing drugs, but additional charges may be pending, according to the news release.

Deputies took Brown to the county jail, and he was released on $5,500 bond. Brown was arrested on multiple drug charges in 2009, and on a charge of aggravated battery of a pregnant woman in 2010.

City Council approves $10,000 radio show to be hosted by Mayor Milissa Holland The show is expected to run for 40 weeks, at $250 per week.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast will have a $10,000 weekly city radio show hosted by Mayor Milissa Holland.

Steve Nobile was the sole City Council vote against the proposal at a council meeting March 7.

“I just don’t think it’s going to be effective,” Nobile said. “I just don’t want that use of money to affect things that would be effective.”

The idea of the radio show stirred controversy. It was first revealed to the public when it was mentioned in passing by Flagler Broadcasting General Manager David Ayres on a live radio show Feb. 24, at which Holland was a guest.

News website FlaglerLive.com then ran a story on the proposal, revealing its cost and the fact that Landon had not brought the idea to the City Council before negotiating with Ayres.

City Council members expressed their frustration with Landon in a Feb. 28 workshop, with Nobile opposing the idea as a waste of money that gave an unfair platform to Holland at taxpayer expense, and council mem-

Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland

ber Heidi Shipley expressing concerns about its value.

Landon said the proposed show would be an opportunity for the city to promote itself.

It could be pre-recorded, he said, and would be a platform to showcase city events and issues, not for Holland to espouse opinions.

But Landon apologized for not bringing the issue to the council sooner, and agreed to have staff write an alternative proposal that could be brought before the council at the March 3 meeting.

The proposal revealed at the March 3 meeting replaced the proposed radio show hosted by Holland with a regular podcast hosted by city staff, plus $8,000 in radio advertising for city events.

“When our team huddled, we reevaluated if a radio show was indeed the best way to accomplish this strategy,” a city staff memo on the podcast proposal states. “This alternative approach addresses this strategy, by using not only radio, but also multiple

channels to maximize our reach and limited marketing dollars.”

Nobile thought the podcast proposal could be effective.

But by the March 3 meeting, Shipley had changed her mind about the radio show.

“I was originally against it, but the more I think about what it can achieve — and we can always, after a year if we don’t like it, we can say it didn’t work,” she said.

“There are people who just listen to the radio, and might just get out and do one of the games, or one of the activities.”

Council members Bob Cuff and Nick Klufas had favored the proposal during the previous workshop.

That left only Nobile in opposition.

So rather than voting on the staff proposal for the podcast, Councilman Bob Cuff made a motion to move forward with the radio show, with the caveat that it not be on Sunday morning, as a proposal from Flagler Broadcasting had listed it. City staff had intended that the originally proposed radio show air for half an hour each Saturday.

The motion passed 4-1, with Nobile dissenting.

FACEBOOK FEEDBACK The following comments were posted on the Palm Coast Observer’s Facebook page, in reaction to this story: Mara Anabella Delgado Use YouTube for your talk show, and use the money for street lights, and change the speed limit on Matanzas Woods Parkway to slow down.

Kristina Mele Udell $10,000 for a radio show, but Palm Coast Little League baseball had to pay $20,000 to “rent” the baseball fields for the season. Not to mention all the street lights that we need to keep kids from getting smacked by cars on known dark roadways. I just don’t get it.

Wendy Wright SAD! Wake up Palm Coast Officials! You have kids and adults being hit and killed by cars on dark roads, not to mention pedophiles roaming them! I think you could

better utilize your money more properly and efficiently! Invest in more programs for our youth, invest in streetlights, invest in the police department cracking down on crime in our community.

I think there’s a lot more avenues that our money could be invested that would be more of a positive outcome for our community than a radio show.

Patrick Sisti I think the most important thing to take from this article, is the name Steve Nobile.

The only city councilman to vote against this stupid radio show. Waste of money. Let’s hope he runs for a higher office next election Toni Mikol The article said the city wants to communicate with us. We communicate through our own neighborhood watch group on Facebook. and it doesn’t cost us anything. Maybe they should get their news from us.

Geekery meets fandom with locally based web series on voice-over actors A Palm Coast studio produces a talk show that introduces the faces behind celebrity voices.

COLLEEN MICHELE JONES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Tucked inconspicuously into an industrial park off U.S. 1, 10th Voyage Studios is a professional media production facility that even locals might be surprised to learn exists in Palm Coast. But walk inside the warehouse and you begin to realize these guys are not messing around. Full-scale sets with professional lighting and audio equipment, a props department and a high-tech editing bay allow 10th Voyage, which opened in 2013, to put out some serious work here.

Even given the investment and sponsorships they received to get the venture off the ground, it’s still pretty impressive that none of the core team behind the studio is older than 32. CEO Lenny Mosco, 25, a New Jersey native who moved to Palm Coast 10 years ago, grew up helping his father on set with his small film company. A fan of comics, anime and other “geeky” pursuits, he wanted to start his own production company.

Today, he is doing just that, with several projects in the works.

The one, however, that he has the most personally invested in is “The Voice Over Show,” an internet series featuring interviews

Lenny Mosco with “Fez,” a recurring character on “The Voice Over Show.”

Photos by Colleen Michele Jones

with some of the nation’s top voice talents in the fields of animation, gaming, advertising and motion pictures.

The idea is that audiences get to put a face to the thousands of voices heard across different genres and hear what goes into the job.

“Unless you’re like Mike Meyers of ‘Shrek,’ no one really knows who you are,” said Mosco. “You never see these people on ‘The

Left to right: Lenny Mosco, Patrick Appolonia and Xavier Gonzalez, of “The Voice Over Show.”

Tonight Show.’”

Added Patrick Appolonia, 32, the show’s writer/producer, “It’s really a matter of finding this kind of niche, untapped market and making sure people want to learn more about it.”

10th Voyage recently completed its first episode of the show (featuring Dennis Johnson of “League of Legends”) and is in post-pro-

duction on a second it wrapped filming on last week.

The set for “The Voice Over Show” is designed by Nicklas Farrentello, who has done work on such Hollywood movies as “The Waterboy” and “There’s Something About Mary.” It looks like something out of Pee Wee Herman’s Playhouse: all primary colors, cockeyed lines, and fan-

tasmical patterns.

The host’s table, which Mosco interviews his subjects from, is filled with comic book mini figures, dragons and other kooky collectibles. And while Mosco — along with his puppet “Fez” — get his subjects to talk for real about what goes into the voice over industry, there is a zany, lighthearted element to the show

as well, thanks to the talents of co-host Xavier Gonzalez, 29, a former music producer who grew up in Palm Coast and as is also well known as a bartender at Europa Lounge.

The series is a variety format, with skits and reality show-like asides interspersed between the actual interviews, along with self-produced parody commercials. Mosco, Appolonia and Gonzalez hope to continue to get more traction online with the web series to monetize the venture. Eventually, they hope to gain even more of a following at comic con and cosplay events with their cult-like followings.

Until then, the studio’s commercial work and side projects help fund the project and others 10th Voyage has in various stages of development.

The editing suite, where the team spend a lot of its time — fueled by energy drinks — looks like the inside of a submarine, with a periscope-inspired video screen, round windows and nautical memorabilia.

“We’re just a bunch of kids,” said Gonzalez.

“Yeah,” said Mosco, “we pretty much are.”

179 days? 180 days? District weighs school calendar options Dropping to 179 school days from the current 180 would give the district the option of an additional emergency make-up day.

COLLEEN MICHELE JONES COMMUNITY EDITOR

By the conclusion of their workshop March 7, Flagler School Board members ended up pretty much where they began in the discussion about the 201718 schools calendar: deciding between a 179-day and a 180-day calendar.

A potential change to the calendar — which would decrease the current number of school days by one, and adjust bell times at all the Flagler schools — was tabled at the board’s Feb. 21 meeting after the board (absent one member) failed to reach a quorum to approve the resolution.

At that meeting, the board voted 2-2 to reject the recommendation of Superintendent Jacob Oliva to adopt a 179-day calendar which would have added 15 minutes to the school day of middle and high school students and pushed the start and end times back 10 minutes at elementary schools.

A 179-day calendar option was studied by a board committee to build in potential buffer time should there be any emergency closures like those experienced with Hurricane Matthew last fall.

It was that committee’s recommendation, and Oliva’s, that the change be made.

But at the Feb. 21 meeting, board member Andy Dance said he was uncomfortable in voting for the change at that point because, according to Dance, the district had not done enough to publicize the calendar, particularly what the exact drop off and pick up times at each school would be.

Without the required majority (School Board member Colleen Conklin was absent from the meeting), the motion failed

to pass, with board member Janet McDonald voting against the measure along with Dance, saying she believed the issue needed more discussion.

Stressing administrators and faculty were already two months behind in having an official calendar to plan next year’s school year, at the March 7 work session Oliva urged board members to take action, even if it meant continuing the current 180-day calendar forward another year. That, he said, might actually make sense considering the district is also examining the issue of rezoning, which could affect busing routes, just as a change to the length of the school day could.

At the workshop, Dance said he supported the idea of the altered calendar but wanted to make sure there was enough consensus among fellow board members before moving it forward again.

Conklin said one issue she was concerned with was the idea of a later release time for elementary students.

“With athletics, activities and homework, what I’m hearing from parents is there’s no family time,” said Conklin.

School Board Chairman Trevor Tucker respectfully disagreed, saying he believed classroom instruction trumped extracurriculars.

The board will pick up the discussion again at its next meeting, March 21, where it will consider both calendar options for 201718. The district will post on its website each of the draft calendars, as well as the adjusted start and end times at each school, including the actual times parents can drop off students in the morning with supervision before class begins.

NO ONE BETTER FPC’s Avery Holder wins the 126-pound state wrestling championship.

DID YOU KNOW?

ushroom pizza never tasted better, and root beer soda never went down more smoothly for Flagler Palm Coast Bulldog Avery Holder, now that he’s the 126-pound Florida High School Athletics Association state wrestling champion.

When the junior awoke from a night’s slumber on Sunday morning — his 17th birthday — it finally became certain that Holder (501) was not dreaming. He had just capped off a historic season with an 8-6 comeback win over Pablo Asenjo of West Palm Beach Forest Hill for the Class 3A 126-pound championship on Saturday, March 4, at Silver Spurs Arena.

“This is the best feeling in the world,” said Holder with tears in his eyes. “I really can’t put it into words.”

After going up 4-0 in the second period, Holder found himself trailing 6-5 in the final period, when Asenjo reversed a few of his positions.

“I was thinking, ‘How am I going to get this reversal?’” Holder said. “And I fought as hard as I

Holder nearly pinned Asenjo in the second period but couldn’t get both of his shoulders on the mat.

could, and I just did it.”

Holder was able to maneuver out of Asenjo’s body lock for a near-pinfall to earn the go-ahead points, becoming FPC’s first individual state champion since Alan Rutherford in 2007 and head coach Tom Bartolotta’s first title winner from FPC. “He did a great job adapting

Head coach Tom Bartolotta has now coached five individual state wrestling champions.

Before Avery Holder’s win, Bartolotta led four Central Gwinnett High School (Georgia) students to state titles.

He himself was a state runner-up for FPC in 1993.

hen Michael DeAugustino took third place this year at the FHSAA state wrestling tournament, my heart broke for him. He had worked vigorously to win the 120-pound title this season. But while most competitors would probably want to hide out until next season, DeAugustino showed his true character by sticking around in the arena to root for his teammate, Avery Holder, who was about to wrestle for the 126-pound state championship.

By contrast, after last season’s heartbreaking championship loss, DeAugustino didn’t speak with anyone. He actually ran straight out of the stadium — in his wrestling gear — down the highway. Michael didn’t know where he was going, but he knew he didn’t want to stay in that arena.

The only thing that made him turn around was his then-teammate, Kaz Maia, who also had a championship match. As difficult as it was to lose the championship in the last 10 seconds, DeAugustino returned to the arena to support his teammate.

This time, there was no running.

Before Holder took the mat, I saw DeAugustino walking with a video camera to capture the match and wearing a hat that read “2 Headed Dragon,” representing himself and Holder as a dominant wrestling pair.

Throughout Holder’s match, DeAugustino yelled instructions to his wrestling brother, and, after Holder won the title, DeAugustino was one of the first to congratulate him.

“He’s my guy, he’s my partner and my best friend,” said an emotional DeAugustino, “and it wouldn’t be right for me not to be there for him. It made me happy to see him win, because we work so hard together.”

DeAugustino apologized to his supporters on social media for not winning the state title. But he has nothing to apologize for.

How could anyone be disappointed in a kid with so much passion to succeed in the classroom and in his sport?

DeAugustino does it all with class — even in defeat. No matter what happens next year, his senior year, he can be proud of who he has become.

throughout the match,” Bartolotta said. “Avery had his ups and downs, and the other kid wrestled well. We didn’t get any takedowns or tilts, but we found a way to win.”

Right when the clock expired, an emotional Holder ran and jumped into Bartolotta’s arms and SEE BETTER PAGE 18 Holder and DeAugustino (right)

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

The Flagler Palm Coast Bulldogs repeated as county champs after the Matanzas Pirates conceded the foregone concluded victory on Thursday, March 2, at the Palm Coast Tennis Center.

Before the rainy weather forced match stoppages, the Bulldogs had already won every match and were near victories in others.

In the boys competition, FPC’s Eric Berenblit and Markku Gomos beat Arthur Lao and Matthew Marcusky 8-3 in the No. 1 doubles match. Igor Sokolov and Wanyea Barbel also beat Will Hall and Josh Gaynor 8-3. In the No. 1 singles match, Berenblit beat Lao 8-1, and Kyle Alves beat Chris Crusson 8-3 in the No. 5 match.

NO ONE BETTER let out a loud roar to the sound of thousands of fans and a small FPC cheer section.

“It was a great moment,” Bartolotta said. “He was very happy.”

Holder is now 140-18 for his career, currently ranked third behind Michael and Stephen DeAugustino for all-time wins at FPC. THE OTHER DAWGS

FPC state qualifiers Steve Canidate, Tyrone Jones, Christian Sheppard and Mike Martins failed to finish in the Top 6, but fellow junior Michael DeAugustino finished third. He lost 7-1 to Osceola’s Malyke Hines — with whom he split a pair of bouts in

the season — who went on to win the 120-pound title.

DeAugustino (54-3) has finished on the podium for three straight seasons (fourth in 2015 and runner-up in 2016). He, along with Holder, Jones, Martins, Sheppard, John Johnson (ranked No. 5 in the state before injury), Damion Figouera (two-time state qualifier), Tyler Irigoyen, Curtis Brock and Nathan St. Pierre (injured this year but was First Team All-Area in 2015-16) will be returning, which gives Bartolotta a great deal of confidence.

“We’re going to have a great team next season,” Bartolotta said, “similar to the 2015 team that finished in the Top 5 — and maybe a lot better. I’m excited.”

“Little Big Shots” host Steve Harvey interviews Ansleigh Clark about her famous hair-cutting mishap.

Mishap with scissors leads to TV fame for Palm Coast pre-schooler.

P

alm Coast’s own Ansleigh Clark makes her debut on national television March 12 with an appearance on “Little Big Shots.”

The popular NBC show, executive produced by Ellen DeGeneres and hosted by Steve Harvey, features everyday children with special talents or those who have been in the public eye.

It’s not the first time Ansleigh has captivated audiences before.

The 4-year-old became an overnight sensation after a video her dad took of her tearfully explaining why she gave herself a really bad haircut a year earlier went viral on YouTube.

In a recent interview at her home, Ansleigh explained how the incident happened.

“I snuck out of my room,” said Ansleigh with a bashful, slightly

mischievous grin. “I ... got the scissors. ... And then Daddy came in.”

“I was like kind of like, what?” recalled Chad Clark, Ansleigh’s father.

“And I had only been gone one hour. Just one hour,” said Jennifer Clark, Ansleigh’s mom, adding that she had just left town for a trip.

Chad Clark decided to record his daughter’s response on his phone. In the video, Ansleigh tries to explain why she chopped her bangs and the sides of her blonde hair off — in her dad’s words — into a “mullet,” saying she was practicing her skills to be like her favorite hairstylist. When Dad says that’s not the way to do it, Ansleigh insists she’ll “get new hair.”

“I didn’t know it would be such a big deal,” Ansleigh still recently insisted, making the rest of her family laugh.

After Chad Clark shared the

video on social media, it exploded, garnering 10,000 viewers in just an hour, and hundreds of thousands more, days later.

Ansleigh is one of five children in the Clark household and easily the most spunky and outgoing, according to her sister McKenzie, 17.

“She’s just her own person, I don’t know where she picks it up,” said McKenzie, who attends Flagler Palm Coast High School.

Ansleigh’s other siblings include sister Savannah, 16, also a student at FPC; and brother Hayden, 3. Ansleigh attends Christ the King School’s pre-K program and will turn 5 in May. She enjoys singing, playing with her brother, and riding in her pink-and-purple electric car.

Jennifer Clark is a middle school math teacher at the Imagine School, while her husband is a pastor at Parkview Baptist Church. The family moved to Palm Coast from St. Augustine last year.

The Clarks received a call last July from the producers of “Little Big Shots” inviting Ansleigh to appear on the television series.

They agreed and were flown out to Los Angeles for the filming.

“When I went on to the show, I got a little nervous,” said Ansleigh, adding, “And they did my hair.”

Ansleigh also had the chance to try out her own hairdressing skills, with Harvey donning a big Afro-style wig and asking Ansleigh to cut his hair on stage.

“I didn’t do such a good job,” said Ansleigh, shaking her head.

“I just cut some of the curls off.”

Since her original bad haircut video, Ansleigh has gone on to further YouTube fame, with other outtakes revealing why she wants so desperately to be a mermaid, and her pondering the meaning of Christmas.

Does she still want to be a hairdresser when she grows up?

Maybe, Ansleigh thinks, or something in showbiz instead.

You could say she’s not off to a bad start.

he 10th-annual Pinewood Derby races were held March 3, as part of Flagler Beach’s “First Friday” celebration.

The event, run by City Hall, took place in Veterans Park. Derby cars raced two-by-two on a 40foot ramp and faced a double elimination round.

Prizes were awarded in both the youth and adult divisions, for fastest car and most creative design. Winners for fastest car, kids’ division, were: first place, “Undertail,” by Stanley Gutzek; second place, “The Shark,” by Riley Weitzel; and third place, “The Green Bandit,” by Nathan Smith. Winners for fastest car, adult division, were: first place, “Surf Truck,” by Dave Dalecki; second place, “Surf 97.3 FM Speed Wagon,” by David Mikulka; and third place, “The Ox,” by Rodney Harshbarger. Most creative design went to Marrina Piepenzung for “Galactic.”

— COLLEEN MICHELE JONES

Christ the King School learned recently that it was awarded national accreditation through the National Council for Private School Accreditation, scoring 97 out of 100 in meeting standards of quality excellence.

The Lutheran school in Palm Coast voluntarily began the process toward accreditation two and a half years ago and received notification in mid-February that it had earned that distinction. The program requires private schools to undertake a self-sufficiency survey of its competency in 283 different areas of standards. A school is then visited by officials of the NCPSA to certify those results.

According to the NCPSA, schools that meet 85% of standards are awarded accreditation.

Ninety-five percent or higher is considered “exemplary status.”

“That’s pretty solid,” said Jeff Loberger, principal of Christ the King School. “To be open less than 10 years and to have achieved this, it’s kind of a big deal.”

Christ the King was established in 2008 with just 18 pre-K students. It currently

enrolls more than 350 students in grades pre-K through 8.

Loberger said the school sought accreditation as part of its goal “to grow and strengthen our practices and facilities so they are the best for students and parents of this community.”

Loberger went on to thank Christ the King’s teachers for “sharing in the mission and vision of what we want to accomplish,” as well as parents who work as “partners toward achieving excellence.”

The school worked alongside the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Schools Association, which is a member of the NCPSA, in the accreditation process.

Defining dangerous dogs: It’s more complicated than just a name

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Judging a dog by its actions rather than by what it looks like can make a difference.

D

angerous dogs, bully breeds, pit bulls — these are umbrella terms to describe dogs that are considered a threat to society. There’s just one problem: Any dog with the proper motivation, lack of training or improper training can become a dangerous dog.

I talked with behavior consultant, dog trainer and former police officer James Crosby, to try to make some sense out of the issue of “dangerous dogs” and to see if there is anything we can do, short of banning breeds.

Crosby described a dangerous dog as any dog, of any size and breed, that has shown specific behavioral actions likely to cause significant injury.

According to the Centers for

Disease Control, there are 20 to 30 dog bites that result in death in the U.S. every year.

“Seventy-six percent of human fatalities are children 12 and younger, and most are 6 and younger,” Crosby said.

Crosby explained that children are more at risk because the child is usually at face level with the animal. If the same dog bites an adult, it will probably be on an arm, leg or buttocks.

Crosby took part in a University of Florida study in which photos (taken from all angles) of 117 different dogs were presented to dog professionals, including veterinarians and animal control officers, for identification.

“We got 25% right by looking at the photos,” Crosby said.

“These were experienced dog professionals. DNA samples had been sent out, and most of the dogs were mixed breeds.”

Crosby would like to see dogs judged on their behavior and not what they look like.

“You could be walking down a street in New York City and see a guy in a wheel chair wrapped in a blanket with his head tilted off to the side, and it could be a homeless man or it could be Steven Hawking waiting for his limo,” Crosby said.

If you are concerned about how your dog might act in public, a basket-style muzzle intro-

James Crosby would like to see dogs judged on their behavior and not what they look like.

“You could be walking down a street in New York City and see a guy in a wheel chair wrapped in a blanket with his head tilted off to the side, and it could be a homeless man or it could be Steven Hawking waiting for his limo,” Crosby said.

duced with positive reinforcement may be the answer. The dog will come to see the muzzle and leash as a sign he is going for a walk.

Training, with a certified trainer, will also benefit the dog and owner.

“A true behaviorist is a veterinarian or someone with a PhD in applied animal behavior,” he said. “If you are looking for a trainer, they should be able to explain what training they are doing, and why, and always do the training in front of the owner.”

the face or a loud starters horn.

“I have never seen pepper spray not work,” Crosby said.

“You can back away to a safe spot while the dog is rubbing his face. “ Whether a dog has interaction with you should be up to the dog. Children should ask the adult with them and the owner if they can pet a dog. If the answer is yes, it’s time to ask the dog by extending your hand and allowing the dog to close the gap. Interaction should be ultimately the dog’s decision, whether it is with a child or an adult.

Currently, the cancer center is seeing about 25 patients a day, with a high of 40. according to Reiner.

King said she fully anticipates the volume of cancer patients to increase as more people — even outside the immediate area — hear about the new technology, making it a geographical draw.

Construction of the new cancer center began in July 2016. Of the $4.5 million total cost of the project, $3.2 million paid for the True Beam machine itself. The recent expansion also added another 23 beds to the facility, increasing the hospital’s capacity to 923.

When Florida Hospital Flagler was constructed in 2002, future expansion goals included the facility’s cancer center, which recently added an additional 2,000 square feet and a second treatment machine delivering cutting-edge radiation therapy.

“It was all part of the original master plan,” said Florida Hospital Flagler Joanne King.

The hospital completed the $4.5 million upgrade Jan. 31 and offered a tour of the new cancer center March 2.

On display was the True Beam machine, which combines 3-D computer imaging with highintensity radiation beams that enable it to deliver more targeted cancer treatment. Florida Hospital Flagler is the only medical provider in Flagler, Volusia and St. Johns counties to offer the technology, which hospital administrators say cuts average treatment time down from 30 minutes to two minutes.

“That can be a big deal if you’re coming here every day for treatment,” said Kristie Reiner, the hospital’s director of oncology operations.
