City: Add two county ambulances, save money

VOTE EARLY

The plan would reduce duplication, staff says.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

To city officials, the routine makes no sense: When the city gets a 911 medical call, the city — which isn’t authorized to transport patients — sends out a big red fire truck with first responders who aid the patient at the scene. Meanwhile, the county — which IS authorized to transport patients — sends its ambulance to the same scene, to take the patient to the hospital.

This costs the city a lot of money, because big red fire trucks aren’t cheap to run. It also sometimes leaves patients waiting longer to get to the hospital than they would if the first rescuers on the scene — who are often city crews — could load them up and take them to the hospital themselves.

“We have high, high quality EMS service and fire service in this community,” City Manager Jim Landon told City Council members at a March 8 City Council workshop. “The citizens are being well taken care of. … That’s not our issue here, whatsoever.”

The issue, he said, was the matter of efficiency and duplication of service.

“We have a fire station on Belle Terre just north of Easthampton.

No ambulance,” Landon said.

“The ambulance that serves that area is based in the fire station on Corporate Drive and Palm Coast SEE HOW TO FIX EMS PAGE 5

3D PRINTING IN FLAGLER SCHOOLS

From science fiction to reality Students of the i3 Academy at Flagler Palm Coast High School are working together with experts to design prosthetics for a three-legged dog named Champ.

Will Flagler County vote for Donald Trump on March 15? There is one poll that would indicate yes, and that’s the Flagler Federated Republican Women’s survey, which showed that of about 200 votes cast, Trump received double the votes of Senator Marco Rubio. The survey was conducted over three months — from December to February — and included some candidates who have since dropped out of the race.

Meanwhile, a fresh poll was released Monday, March 7, by Monmouth University, showing that Trump’s lead is 8% statewide.

Early voting in Flagler County is underway through Saturday, March 12, for Florida’s March 15 Presidential Preference Primary. For Bunnell residents, there is also a vote for two City Commission seats. The hours for early voting are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., including weekends, and votes can be cast at one of three locations: Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Office, Flagler County Public Library, and the Palm Coast Community Center.

City Manager Landon asks for pay raise; Council suggests evaluation Landon hasn’t had a pay raise in 7 years.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon hasn’t had a raise in seven years, and he requested one at a City Council workshop Tuesday, March 8.

“Obviously when the hard times and the recession happened, a lot of people weren’t getting pay raises, and I couldn’t imagine employees not getting a pay raise, and I get a pay raise,” Landon said. “But those days are behind us. Most people in the workforce are once again getting increases in pay. And so, this year, I’m asking that I be included in the pay raise.”

Landon’s base salary is $168,878, and his contract calls for the potential for a pay raise every year, subject to City Council approval.

Rather than asking for a percentage increase this year, Landon asked to receive the same dollar amount as the pay plan schedule increase that department heads get — in this case, about $1,535, or just less than 1% of his salary.

Although they didn’t reject the request outright, City Council members didn’t agree to it at the workshop, either.

Councilman Jason DeLorenzo noted that pay raises aren’t the only thing Landon hasn’t been getting for years: He also hasn’t been having formal annual performance evaluations.

Landon called the city’s Annual Progress Report — which he’d presented to the council earlier in the March 8 — a form of evaluation. DeLorenzo didn’t agree.

“I think we need something more formal,” he said. DeLorenzo suggested taking a look at how other local governments evaluate their administrators, then having the city’s human resources department prepare a form that Council members could use.

“It would be a tool for us, because then if something was coming up regularly ... maybe then I could go look at those other evaluations and see if others are having a similar concern,” DeLorenzo said.

Mayor Jon Netts pointed to the Florida Inland Navigation District’s five-page evaluation form, and said he could get a copy of it.

Councilman Bill McGuire liked the idea of a formal evaluation, and didn’t think the Annual Progress Report provided that.

“To me, an evaluation is based upon individual goals,” he said.

“If I gave you a list of goals and said, ‘Here’s what I want you to do in terms of performance for the next year,’ then at the end of the year I can sit down with you and say, ‘OK, here’s how you did for those goals, and if you meet those goals, here’s the max that you can expect to get, and if you don’t, you’ll get something less than that.’”

McGuire said he thought the

“Most people in the workforce are once again getting increases in pay. And so, this year, I’m asking that I be included.”

JIM LANDON, Palm Coast City Manager

council should determine how much of a raise the city would be willing to give Landon if he’s “done a magnificent job.”

Netts said the amount should not be automatic each year.

“Absolutely,” Landon replied.

“It has to be something where you have that discretion every year.”

For city employees, Landon said, the percentage is anywhere from 0% to 5%, with an average of 2% per department.

“I don’t want anything more than other employees get,” Landon said. “The worst thing that happens in my opinion ... is for me to get a higher pay raise than the rest of the employees.” Landon suggested setting his potential raise at 1% to 3%.

“Let’s look at the potential document first,” Netts said. “That may give us a clue as to how we’ll all proceed.”

BRIEFS Sheriff’s Office swears in deputies From a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office: Sheriff James L. Manfre welcomed eight new deputies to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office on March 2, bringing the Sheriff’s Office’s force to a total of 192 sworn officers: 148 road deputies and 44 detention deputies.

The class of seven men and one woman will all serve as deputies on road patrol in the Neighborhood Services Division.

The new deputies had to complete more than 700 hours of basic recruit training at a law enforcement academy.

Now they will begin seven weeks of in-house classroom training with the Sheriff’s Office, known as the Field Training Evaluation Program. Then they will go on the road for three months’ training with a field training officer before they will work on their own as they complete their one-year probationary period.

A NEW LEG FOR CHAMP ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

T

hroughout recent history many inventions have spawned from science fiction movies and novels. Legend has it that the inspiration for the cell phone came from the fictitious television show Star Trek.

“Motorola’s director of research and development, Martin Cooper, designed the first mobile phone, released in the ‘70s, similar to that of the phones on ‘Star Trek,’” according to toptenz.net.

Flagler Palm Coast High School students taking Courtney Vandebunte’s Anatomy of Design class are deriving innovative ideas to create a working prosthetic leg from high-action movies such as “Blade Runner” and “Fury.”

The class recently acquired three 3D Printers through grants, and Mrs. Vandebunte has found a way for her students to utilize the printers while making a significant impact on one dog’s life.

After calling around to every humane society in the state, Vandebunte was put in contact with a family from Green Cove Springs. The owners, Dave and Yaso Sandoval, adopted a 3-yearold German Shepherd mixed dog named Champ, after Champ was struck by a vehicle. The car strike resulted in the loss of the dog’s entire front left leg.

The class split into groups of three or four to brainstorm on various prosthetics that could be printed right there in the classroom. In order to make the prosthetics as accurate as possible, the class held an Ask an Expert Day in order to meet Champ and his owners, as well as a physical therapist, veterinarian and three different 3D-printing experts.

Champ’s measurements were taken, and designs were discussed.

One group came up with an idea to make a custom-fit harness that will be hand-sewn, then attached to a 3D printed shoulder piece. In order to maximize their efforts, four of the class’ separate groups joined to make one “supergroup.” Each of the super-group’s prosthetics will be designed to screw onto the shoulder piece making it possible to easily switch out the different prosthetics.

“The figure J prosthetic was designed based off the movie ‘Blade Runner,’” said Andrew Bigler, a junior at FPC. “The curved surface will act as a spring system and will help Champ be more agile. We are hoping to print the final rendition out of Ninja Flex material, so the prosthetic will not have as harsh of an impact when he is running.”

Another group got inspiration from an article they read on a different dog named Derby.

Derby was given a prosthetic that looked like the figure 8. The students took the idea and altered the

Brianna Bunting and Andrew Bigler are refining the figure-J prosthetic, that was designed to help Champ run. The group was inspired by the movie "Blade Runner."

Raphael Santiago and Kyle Goyzueta have developed a tank with treads prosthetic.

"We came up with the idea based on the movie ‘Fury,’" Santiago said.

finished product by attaching it to the shoulder harness with an embedded spring. The design is meant to help Champ walk freely down sidewalks and roadways.

The students’ final renditions will be completed by the end of March. Champ is scheduled to come visit the students and try on all of the different prosthetics in search of the perfect fit. The Sandovals will choose one of the designs to take back home.

The Flagler County NAACP has filed a formal notice of dispute against the Flagler County School District over out-of-school suspensions of three black students, seeking to have the district turn over video evidence related to the three cases.

“Your administration has willfully, intentionally and arbitrarily engaged in an unlawful pattern and practice to obstruct and prevent our organization and the parents of the students suspended from school, reasonable access to inspect or review the security video and related documents defined under education records,” the Feb. 15 letter of notice to the school district says.

The district has countered that releasing the footage would be a violation of other students’ privacy rights.

The NAACP had not received any of the documentation it was seeking from the district as of March 8, Flagler County NAACP President Linda Sharpe Matthews said.

Although out-of-school suspension have generally dropped in the school district, Matthews said, “There still lies a problem in Buddy Taylor Middle School,” where the letter depicts an outof-control situation.

“We understand that student behavior has gotten worse and that students are increasingly more aggressive and disrespectful to the school staff. Students are in the hallways running, yelling traveling in mob groups and that profane language is being directed at teachers,” the letter states.

The six-page letter cites the School District’s agreement with the Southern Poverty Law Center last year — which ended the SPLC’s formal civil rights complaint against the district — and says NAACP representatives have contacted the SPLC with their concerns.

The NAACP has planned meetings with School District officials about the complaint in the coming week.

Kristina Santiago and Tianna Tucci have designed a C-curved prosthetic that should provide a support for Champ.

“The figure J prosthetic was designed based off the movie ‘Blade Runner.’ The curved surface will act as a spring system and will help Champ be more agile.”

Deputies and dog save missing, suicidal woman

SunGlow project to stay in Palm Coast A developer who had threatened to pull out of a planned 96-unit, 15-building development near the Holiday Inn Express and Winn Dixie shopping center over a dispute with the city has decided to stay after all.

SunGlow Construction President Lee Khazraee had written a Feb. 16 letter to Palm Coast’s mayor, city manager and City Council complaining that the permitting process and fees in the city of Palm Coast affected the bottom line for his planned Flagler Pointe multifamily development, and asking the city to waive certain fees.

City Manager Jim Landon wrote back Feb. 18, noting that some delays Khazraee had complained of had to do with the initial development plans’ lack of certain legally required safety features, like fire sprinklers, and that the fees Khazraee wanted waived were ones the city had no power to wave.

Khazraee met with city officials the week of Feb. 29 and “found them to be very accommodating,” and decided to stay, a Khazraee representative said.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies — with the help of a 7-year-old bloodhound — saved the life of a woman reported missing and suicidal March 8.

The deputies, along with searched for the 50-year-old woman using dogs and the county’s FireFlight helicopter, and used media releases to ask members of the public to look out for her and call 911 if they saw her. Deputies found the woman unconscious in the woods of Waterfront Park.

Paramedics took her to Florida Hospital Flagler.

HOW TO FIX EMS “It’s hard to find something negative in this, other than that it’s a change, and we have to figure out how to work together and make this happen.”

JIM LANDON, Palm Coast city manager

FROM PAGE 1

Parkway. So if a call comes in from the L Section, north of our fire station, we have the resources there in that fire station — personnel, and our engines all have the same equipment, or close to it, as an ambulance — so that when a call comes in, we’re going to get there first ... and then the ambulance is going to follow behind us.

If you’re in the P and the R Section, with Station 25, we’re closer because the ambulance for most of those calls is going to come out of the airport station, of the county. So they’re going to drive past our station, we’re already out, and we’re going to get there first.”

The city can’t just let the county, with its ambulances, take the call on its own, Landon said: City crews could get there first and stabilize patients for whom seconds matter.

Palm Coast Deputy Fire Chief Jerry Forte said there are ways to fix the duplication problem, without the city needing to be able to transport patients itself, something that would require a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity from the county.

The city is already using smaller trucks called “jump trucks” to transport medics to the scene of a medical call without sending out a large ambulance, he said in a presentation before the council.

But a wider-ranging plan, already discussed with county

BUY • SELL • TRADE

staff, is a “2+2” plan that would involve adding two county backup ambulances and two county firefighters to two city fire stations: one county ambulance and firefighter at Station No. 23, and another county ambulance and firefighter at Station No. 24.

That would bring the total number of county ambulances stationed within the limits of the city of Palm Coast to four.

The city would then contribute one of its firefighters to ride alongside a county firefighter on each of the two ambulances.

File photo

“Jump trucks” like this county fire rescue vehicle can be used to transport first responders and gear to the scene of a medical incident without the expense of running a large fire truck. But unlike ambulances, jump trucks can’t be used to move patients.

“This would double the number of ambulances in the city of Palm Coast with no additional cost to the county or the city,” Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts said.

Each fire station in the city would then be staffed by four firefighters.

“It’s hard to find something negative in this, other than that’s it’s a change, and we have to fig-

ure out how to work together and make this happen,” Landon said.

“We believe that next step, that we’re ready for that this point, is getting all the elected officials involved — the County Commissioners and the Palm Coast City Council — and see if we can’t reach an agreement to move forward with this kind of concept.”

If you don’t want Trump Oh my, the 2016 campaign so far has been truly bizarre. Clearly, 60% of Republicans don’t want Trump. On Tuesday, there’s one way to make it more difficult for him.

PALM COAST

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

FRIEDRICH HAYEK “Road to Serfdom,” 1944

MATT WALSH, CEO OBSERVER MEDIA GROUP

It’s probably pretty accurate to say roughly 60% of Florida Republicans who have not voted yet in the presidential primary are spinning — in fear, frustration and indecision.

And roughly 60% of Republicans nationwide can’t believe what they are seeing: Donald Trump leading the pack.

But it’s not just that. Think of the entire picture: At the top of the Democratic Party, the leading candidates are Hillary Clinton, under serious investigation by the FBI and Justice Department and a proven deliberate liar to the American people and Benghazi victims’ families; and Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist.

On the Republican side, there’s Trump, narcissistic, bombastic, flip-flopping, unpresidential boor; Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, two freshmen senators, conservatives, yes, each gifted speakers, yes, who criticize the freshman senator holding the presidency, one who is despised by the very people with whom he would have to work, the other whose Senate attendance record was abysmal; and John Kasich, the candidate credited with acting most like an adult so far, with proven successful records in Congress and as governor of Ohio, and yet who rarely polls above 10%.

Out of 320 million Americans in the most amazing nation in history, it is staggeringly mystifying to think how Trump and Clinton — both beneath the dignity and integrity required of the office — have become the front-runners for the most important elected office in the world.

This is truly bizarre.

Mind you, let’s be clear: This is not to belittle the Trump supporters. We get it. They are rallying to execute the revolution against the Washington elected elite that so many Republicans (and Americans)

For Tuesday’s primary, for the sake of the ultimate goal, we recommend: Marco Rubio.

desperately want. They’re rallying to bring about what they thought they were going to get twice — after the 2010 Tea Party victory, when Republicans took the House, and in 2014, when Republicans added their majority to the Senate.

What they wanted, of course, never occurred — a reversal and rout of everything Obama; an emasculation of the failed fiscal, social-welfare Leviathan; a holocaust of jobkilling Washington regulations and taxation; and congressional officeholders who, finally, acted on the voters’ behalf instead of their crony funders and themselves.

As a result, millions have turned to the populist businessman who says exactly what’s on their minds, crass language and all — even though for four decades he has been a part of and beneficiary of the inside political elite they despise. He says what most of us believe: Washington is incompetent, and we do want someone to make America great again.

But if you’re among the 60% of the Republicans who so far have rejected Trump (this newspaper among them) and are ambivalent about the three remaining candidates — Cruz, Rubio and Kasich (this newspaper among them), for next week’s Florida primary here are considerations for your decision making. Ask yourself how each candidate (including Trump) has demonstrated: • Moral and behavioral principles. What are their fundamental principles about the role of government? Is the candidate steadfast in his principles, or does he compromise principles for self gain at the expense of others?

• Character. What is the candidate’s integrity? Does he have a record of trustworthiness, transparency and honesty?

• Record. Elections are a referendum on every candidate’s record of achievement — in business and/or public service.

Is it a record of honorable success and accomplishment?

• Vision. Elections are a referendum on a candidate’s vision for the future and how well he articulates that vision and the way it would be executed.

• Consistency and predictability. Effective leaders are exemplars of these two qualities.

• Temperament and presence. Who has acted most presidential? Researchers have shown that 93% of credibility is conveyed through a person’s body — body language, voice and tone; with only 7% of credibility attributed to content. Whose presence appears most suited and dignified as the head of the Free World meeting and persuading other world leaders as a president should?

These are all crucial, musthave characteristics for all of the candidates. So make your checklist. Who scores best?

And remember the ultimate goal: Winning the presidency, defeating Hillary Clinton.

All things considered: For the first time since Goldwater, there is a Republican candidate who steadfastly embraces the Constitution and its principles as our Founders envisioned: Cruz. And remember the William F. Buckley Rule: “I’d be for the most right, viable candidate who could win.”

Now juxtapose the ultimate goal and the Buckley Rule against the requisite characteristics. Kasich is the one. Not Rubio. Not Cruz.

But next Tuesday’s primaries in Florida and Ohio are not about any of that if you’re choosing a candidate to stop Trump. It’s all about the math.

Florida and Ohio most likely will determine whether Trump can win the required 1,237 delegates to become the nominee.

Florida has 99 winner-take-all delegates at stake; Ohio has 66. If Trump wins both states, momentum pushes the possibility increasingly in his favor.

There is only one candidate who can beat Trump in Florida: Rubio. Cruz can’t. But his strategy is not to win here.

It’s to finish second, giving Trump all 99 Florida delegates,

THE BEST CHOICE? John Kasich, the candidate credited with acting most like an adult so far, is most likely to defeat Clinton, according to polls.

forcing Rubio to drop out and hoping that Rubio supporters throughout the remainder of the primaries would coalesce behind him.

But even that is not a likely path for a Cruz nomination.

Not counting March 15’s results (after our press time), Cruz would have to win 75% of the delegates in the remainder of the primaries to win the nomination. Trump would need 48%.

On the other hand, Rubio and Kasich victories in Florida and Ohio, respectively, likely assure a brokered convention this summer in Cleveland.

That, of course, will be as messy and ugly as the campaign so far has been bizarre.

And it will become the penultimate test: Who among the candidates and their supporters will be willing to do what’s honorable and right for the Republican Party and the country and for what will be ultimate test: Win the White House.

Based on that goal, in polling so far of who is most likely to defeat Clinton, Kasich would win by the largest margin, followed by Rubio, then Cruz.

Trump would lose.

For Tuesday’s primary, for the sake of the ultimate goal, we recommend: Marco Rubio.

Burglary: A cleaning lady entered an empty home to work, and found the laundry room floor flooded with an inch or two of water. When she checked the sink, she could see why: Someone had turned on the tap and then blocked the drain

The woman turned off the water and called a property manager, who helped her vacuum up the water, and also called the homeowner, a 48-yearold woman who lives in North Carolina and rents out the house to vacationers.

99 single-family homes proposed in ‘tricky’ area The Planning Board has concerns about lot grading, street grading and other issues.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A quiet stretch of John Anderson highway south of State Road 100 may one day bustle with the traffic of 99 new homes — if the proposal for the 253-acre community can make it past the county’s Planning and Development Board.

“This is a little tricky, complex project in some areas,” said Michael Chiumento, representing Miller Legg and Associates in the application for a preliminary plat for the planned community, to be called Seaside Landings. But, he said, “This is a national, highquality company that’s going to bring another high-quality community to our community.”

The board didn’t vote whether to approve the application for a preliminary plat at its March 8 meeting, instead deciding to hear the issue again at the board’s regular meeting March 22. But county staff recommended the board not approve the plat.

“Unfortunately, our recommendation would be for denial of the preliminary plat,” Planning and Zoning Director Adam Mengel told the board. Staff had several issues with the proposed development, Mengel explained, including lot grading, street grading and water and sewer review issues.

The land on which the community is to be built straddles John Anderson Highway south of S.R. 100, bordering the Intracoastal on

the east and Bulow Creek on the west.

The 99 lots themselves sit on 90.87 acres, with the rest of the land set aside for a homeowners association building, recreation, utilities, stormwater draining, and entrances and exits. There would be a kayak launch on Bulow Creek.

The developer planned to leave lot grading to individual homeowners, Mengel said, and county staff was concerned that could create a “checkerboard of completion for shoreline stabilization,” according to a county staff report — and that fill from lots under construction might encroach on neighboring vacant lots.

In addition, Mengel said, the development’s proposed street grading is not consistent with the county’s Land Development Code, and county staff believe the Department of Environmental Protection requirements for sewer system slopes is not being met in the proposed plans.

Chiumento noted that the project’s conceptual plan had received initial approval in July 2015.

“The county has already kind of tacitly approved these things by approving the site plan,” he said.

“The major issues that have been identified as being issues for staff either are are addressed or resolved or can be handled through approval subject to conditions. The issue has been scheduled for the 6 p.m.

Just how healthy are we?

Flagler leads in some measures, lags in others Racial gap apparent in Flagler County and state of Florida infant mortality rates.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County helped 16,298 people — with everything from dental problems to pregnancies to serious illnesses — in 2015, contributing to a Flagler County that is healthier than many of its neighbors.

“You indeed are blessed to have the best when it comes to community health,” said Robert Snyder, of the Flagler County Health Department.

But Flagler is not at the top of statewide health rankings — neighboring St. Johns is — and statewide numbers show large disparities in population health between counties that correlate with socioeconomic factors.

In terms of statewide rankings on major health measures, St. Johns tops less wealthy Flagler County, and most of the rest of the state. Flagler’s health outcomes in state rankings are better than less wealthy Volusia County’s, which are better than even less wealthy Putnam County’s.

Much of that, Snyder said, is likely the result socioeconomic factors, such as having health insurance, access to doctors and

the ability to pay for care.

St. Johns County had a median household income of $65,575 in 2015, while Flagler’s was $47,733 and Putnam County’s was $32,714.

Of the state’s 67 counties, St. Johns ranked first in health outcomes, Flagler ranked 22nd, Volusia ranked 45th and Putnam ranked 65th. In terms of length of life, St. Johns ranked second, Flagler ranked 19th, Volusia ranked 46th and Putnam ranked 66th. In terms of quality of life, St. Johns ranked first, Flagler ranked 29th, Volusia ranked 50th and Putnam ranked 64th.

The trend for percentage of residents covered by health insurance goes the same way, with St. Johns leading the area at 88.6% covered in 2013, Flagler following St. Johns with 86.3%, Volusia following Flagler with 79.8% and Putnam at the bottom, with 73.5% of residents insured.

Flagler is doing better than the state average when it comes to the percentage of residents who are overweight or obese (57% in Flagler and 62.89% in the state of Florida) or physically inactive (45% of Flagler residents, 53% of Florida residents), but a higher percentage of Flagler residents smoke (23% of Flagler residents,

In Flagler County, at least one health measure — infant mortality, or the number of children who die under the age of 1, per 1,000 live births, in 2014 — shows a significant racial disparity, as it does in the rest of the state: In Flagler County, infant mortality was 6.2 for white children, 9.1 for black children and 10.8 for Hispanic children. Statewide, infant mortality was 4.5 for white children, 10 for black children and 6.4 for Hispanic children.

In Flagler, the infant mortality rate for white children is near the national 2014 average infant mortality rate of 6.

But the infant mortality rate in Flagler County for black children and Hispanic children is higher not only than the national rates of all of the wealthy, western European nations with various forms of universal healthcare, but also higher than that of Bosnia and Herzegovina (5 per 1,000 live births), Bahrain (6), Serbia (6), the United Arab Emirates (6), Malaysia (6), Qatar (7), Chile (7), Lebanon (7) and Kuwait (8), among many others.

Don’t worry, Palm Coast. County will pay for radio infrastructure County Commissioner Barbara Revels responds to Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts’ request to meet.

WHAT DOES THE UPGRADE ENTAIL?

CELL PHONE COVERAGE NOT THE PRIMARY GOAL

BARBARA REVELS GUEST WRITER

I am pleased to be informed directly by you that the city of Palm Coast is intent on working collaboratively for the best communication system that comprehensively covers the county.

I also agree that it is always conducive to full understanding when all elected officials get the same information together to best support a chosen path on any issue.

The county has had numerous meetings and presentations over the last few years related to the 800 MHz radio system and the communications network needed for optimum coverage. It was my understanding from staff and the press stories that Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie (who has since left for another position in another county) presented to you the county’s current plans and how best to move forward on a very costly system upgrade.

Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts, in his letter to County Commission Chairwoman Barbara Revels, asked a series of questions about the proposed emergency radio system upgrade. County staff sent replies to each.

Here’s a summary of issues raised in their correspondence.

You mention in your letter cell phone carriers, usage and coverage. Cell phone coverage is only a collateral improvement when towers are spaced appropriately but is not the guiding factor. But recognizing the need for expensive towers and the ability to pay for them is with a business relationship with cell tower developers. We recently went through that effort, and, unfortunately, the developer declined to move forward with the project, so the county is again looking for those opportunities.

What determines radio coverage and building penetration?  Towers’ height, location and number, and broadcasting equipment inside some buildings determines coverage.

COUNTY WILL BEAR INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS

I believe it has been stated by our administration and in our public meetings, that the county has accepted the responsibility to create the communications system necessary for all of our partners (cities-schools) and to bear the cost of the infrastructure and operate the system. It would then be up to the individual government entities to pay tor their peripheral equipment (radios, etc.). Naturally the size and type of the system depends on the number of users and the level of service desired as you

What could the city of Palm Coast do to help determine

have noted.

The decision to create a comprehensive system by the use of tall towers was the conclusion of much study. As you know, we have a large area surrounding the airport that cannot have towers due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight paths. Once you configure the possible cones of emission around those locations, it begins to dictate other locations throughout the

where to place a tower inside the city limits?  The city could give the county a list of all the places where the city would support a tower.

Other than towers, what major equipment will the upgrade require?  Repeaters and boosters in existing buildings will reduce coverage gaps.

What buildings might need repeaters or boosters?  Certain large buildings, like schools and Walmart How resilient will any new towers be?  The standard for new towers will be that they will be able to handle Category 4 hurricane wind loads, and be built with strobe lighting and constructed of reinforced lattice.

county. Additionally, all of the older towers in the county do not comply with current wind resistance measures and new towers would need to be built to those standards.

REVISITING TOWER PLANS

At this time, the county is revisiting our tower plans and locations and desire to further examine the entire system with the input of our new emer-

gency services manager when on board. At that time, when we have a more comprehensive presentation of what is possible under our logistics and pocket book parameters, we will be happy to convene all of the users of the system and hear input and plan further together.

In the meantime, I am very willing and happy to attend your “league of cities” gatherings of the mayors and use those sessions as education for us all.

In addition, I have also asked county staff to address the questions they can answer today and bring further clarity to our approach. Unfortunately, several of the questions you have asked cannot be solved by elected officials meeting together until our staffs and the consultants have worked through the many technical variables/scenarios, which will likely be completed sometime in 2017, after a new mayor and City Council is seated.

However, I believe the answers county staff can provide today will help Palm Coast complete its planning, and there are actions that the city can take NOW if it truly desires to assist the county in completing planning of the best radio system possible.

Barbara Revels is the chairwoman of the Board of County Commissioners.

SPORTS More than journalism

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

I won’t apologize for cheering for the athletes I write about.

Gaines picks up a hit and eventually scores a run to help the Bulldogs beat Lopez 8-2.

JEFF DAWSEY “Everyone said I could do it, that I was fast enough, and I wanted to make the most of my senior year.”

Born to run wild

Tyrese Gaines tries to find balance in pursuing two dreams at one time.

STAFF WRITER

I

t is common for athletes to play multiple sports throughout the year while in high school, with hopes of staying in shape for their dominant sport. And then there’s Flagler Palm Coast Bulldog Tyrese Gaines, who competes in two sports, baseball and track — at the same time.

On any given day, Gaines will get out of class, head to the track to practice his speed events and then run over to the baseball field for practice. On other days, he may have to compete in a track meet, and afterward, head to baseball practice. Then, there are those days when he will have a meet and a baseball game on the same day.

“A week for me is horrible,” Gaines said. “I usually have a few games and a meet, and my legs be killing me, but it’s for the love of it all. It’s hard, though, because I want to be able to get better at both all the time, but there’s sacrifices you have to make for the good of the team, and baseball has been there for me all four years. And, I can’t just leave my teammates.”

Baseball coach Jordan Butler granted his senior outfielder permission to run track in the fall, but Gaines suffered an ankle injury

DAWGS CRUISE PAST GREEN WAVE The Bulldogs cruised to an 8-2 win over Father Lopez Catholic Friday, Mar. 4, at FPC. They will next play Mandarin at 7 p.m. away.

during Christmas, which sidelined him for two months. Now, back on the track, he says he’s having the time of his life running again.

“I feel like I have a God-given gift,” Gaines said, “and, for me to not use it would just be a waste.”

His teammates also appreciate his talent. Fellow outfielder Nick Zipf says about Gaines’ running ability, “It’s a good feeling when you know you have someone who can track down fly balls with his speed in the outfield.”

Gaines hopes he will one day run into a professional career that will allow him to pay back his mother and that will make Butler proud of the four years he’s poured into him.

“My mom has worked so hard her entire life to provide for me and my sister and I have so much love for her,” he said. “Also, Coach has taught me so many things that I will never forget. He’s like another dad to me. He has been a big part of my life in high school, and I love him so much.”

here’s an unwritten journalist rule that suggests reporters not root for players or teams. I’ve never been good with unwritten rules, and when it comes to this one, I have a valid reason: I’m human.

For the last couple of years, I’ve often talked with FPC’s Michael DeAugustino and Kaz Maia. I know their backgrounds and the work they’ve put in to reach the state championship matches. So when I watched DeAugustino lose his match in the last 10 seconds, and Maia lose his final high school match due to injury, my heart broke with the parents and coaches.

For two straight seasons, I’ve written many articles on the Mainland football team. Other than Seabreeze and the teams I cover, I don’t know any of their opponents. But I do know that Adrian Killins’ dad is a fireman, and I know that assistant coach Victor Campbell will be getting married in a couple of months.

So when they’ve lost to Miami Central the last two seasons, I felt their pain.

Every game this past season, the Matanzas football team wowed the community. But before their miracle year, I met most of the players and coaches at a school Fellowship of Christian Athletes event. There, I gave my life testimony, and many have sought my advice. So when they fell short of reaching the playoffs, I too was disappointed.

How could I not cheer for the Seabreeze girls soccer team, after getting to know Kim Merkel last year, when she took over as the head coach? In just two seasons, she lost 16 players to graduation, but the Lady Sandcrabs fell just short of reaching the regional championship. Merkel and I have often discussed their team bonding methods that allow the girls to grow closer before and during the season. I don’t know their out-of-the-area opponents like that.

Last year, I had the privilege of covering and getting to know former Father Lopez basketball player Malik Maitland. I saw him carry a team in ways I’ve never seen at the prep level. I watched him put up a tough 25, as he willed the Green Wave to victory.

So, yes, I wanted to see him win a state championship, just as much as I’ve desired that they all win big. They’re instrumental in producing my stories, so it’d be foolish not to cheer them on.

An inspirational opening Flagler Baseball League acknowledged cancer fighters and amputees, who took part in its opening day ceremony.

I

n its inaugural spring baseball season, Flagler Baseball welcomed more participants than it received in the fall season, on Saturday, March 5, at the Flagler County Recreation Area.

Among the distinguished guests, such as county commissioners and other government leaders, the league acknowledged triple amputee Rajesh Durbal, who shared an inspirational message, and then it brought out three young cancer fighters — Brayden Lane, Cameron Fulling and Ryan Dudley — to throw the first pitches.

First up was Brayden Lane, who has been battling cancer.

Lane was healthy enough to play this season, and he is back in school. His mother says she

tries to give him normal days as much as possible. Dudley, a Matanzas ball player, and Fulling had just gotten out of brain surgery, so they were not allowed to play.

“It’s got to be about more

than just baseball, more than sports,” said Tim Baugher, the league’s president. “We gotta give back to the community, and we gotta give back to our kids.”

— JEFF DAWSEY

“Inspirational! It should be motivational for everyone to see a kid, who had brain surgery a week ago walk out and throw an opening pitch.”

Cameron Fulling, who’s battling brain cancer, threw out one of the honorary pitches to kick off spring season.

n championship evening, the only remaining wrestlers were finalists, and Flagler Palm Coast had two— Kaz Maia and Michael DeAugustino — still alive in the 152- and 120-divisions on March 5, at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee.

First up was DeAugustino. After swapping leads with his opponent in the first two rounds, the matched seemed as if was heading into overtime, until DeAugustino’s challenger scored a take down with less than 10 seconds to secure the title.

Despite the loss, the sophomore has placed in each of his two seasons, going from fourth to

A FINISHED RIVALRY

Maia stormed through all of his matches for an eighth and final matchup against rival Winter Springs’ James Nereim, the projected state final rematch. After exchanging leads, Maia was forced to concede the championship after dislocating his elbow.

He was taken to the local hospital, and is now recovering from his injury.

Maia finished the season with

The Super Loop took the little heroes around the lake in Central Park, while the smaller

kids crawled over obstacles in the Destiny Dash.

Proceeds of the event went to benefit PC4, the Palm Coast Community Child Center, a 501c3 located at 1 Pine Lakes Parkway N. Around 150 volunteers helped organize and direct the event.

My pets like to leave me little messages, do yours?

PETS OF TH E WEEK

Perhaps I am reading too much into their behavior, but my pets have a way of getting their point across.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR PETS!

hen the children were growing up, we had a 96-pound golden retriever named Murphy.

Murphy was a “gift” from “friends” but that’s another article. It seems I am always being “gifted” — yes, Kodi and Buddy, I am talking about you.

Murphy lived with us in Virginia, and the strangest thing used to happen in the living room. We would leave the house, and, when we came back, a round green pillow would be in the middle of the living room floor. Every — single — time.

None of the children would take credit for this strange behavior, and I wondered what the thought process was, leaving this one pillow dead center in the middle of the room.

There was only one “per-

So one day, as soon as the door was closed, I darted to the front window to see Murphy, pillow in mouth, hovering over “the” spot, looking up to see me. BUSTED. Shadow, the first dog I adopted from the Flagler Humane Society, was a Labrador who was able to get me to do something my mother never could — pick up my shoes. I went through quite a few shoes. Only one shoe of a pair would be destroyed, and only the ones I had taken off when I got home. I suspect the “reasoning” was, if she chewed my shoe I couldn’t leave.

Today I found something I can’t quite explain: one of my Palm Coast Observer business

WALK TO END HUNGER IN FLAGLER COUNTY The Grace Community Food Pantry, in partnership with the Fed by Grace Backpack Program, held a walk to end hunger on Saturday, March 6, at the Flagler Palm Coast High School track.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

W

alkers made their way around the track at Flagler Palm Coast High School to show their support for ending hunger in Flagler County.

Proceeds of the event went to support the Grace Community Food Pantry and the Fed by Grace Backpack Program.

The event began with an opening prayer by Pastor Charlie Silano, of the Grace Community Church.

“This is our first annual walk to create awareness for the homeless children in Flagler County,” Pastor Silano said. “When the economy tanked the number of homeless kids and people in need started growing. Only a few years ago the program supported 30 people, now the Flagler County School System has identified over 600 kids considered to be homeless in this county.”

The Fed by Grace Backpack Program was officially started in 2013. Volunteers bring on average 80 10-pound bags of food every Wednesday to five public schools in Flagler County. Each visit also includes three banana boxes full of cereal, each box containing

about 65 servings.

“As soon as the students are registered in the Flagler County School System they will be recognized right away as homeless and enrollment in the program will be offered,” said Pamela Jackson, of Families in Transition. “The food given to them every week should last them and their families through the weekend.”

Before walkers started around the high school‚ organizer Lynette Shott shared a touching quote by Mother Teresa.

“I want to share this quote, because I feel it really sums up why this organization exists to support our communities families. ‘At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we received, how much money we have made or how many great things we have done. We will be judged by: I was hungry and you fed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was homeless and you took me in.’ And that is the spirit of everyone here today.”

Supporters arrived with canned food donations and walked the track for the majority of the afternoon.

Shelf-stable products and canned food donations are always

n From the start of the Backpack Program in 2013 to the 2015 school year, 3,259 10-pound bags of food were given to students in need.

This school year, the program expects to give out 2,000 more bags of food. n In 2015, 2 million pounds of food were given out to needy families in Flagler County.

Flagler Habitat for Humanity house No. 89 dedicated to Dr. Jim Guines

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

Flagler Habitat for humanity dedicates house number 89 to Dr. Jim Guines, one of the original founders for the Flagler Habitat program.

“The ground is full of roots!” said a startled Lindsay Elliott, executive director of the Flagler Habitat for Humanity, as she attempted to thrust a shovel into the wooded lot that will soon be transformed into a cozy home for the Whitaker family.

Elliott eventually gave it her all, and jumped onto the shovel head with both feet in an attempt to break the resilient forest floor.

Flagler Habitat for Humanity home recipient Christina Whita-

ker, accompanied by her 5-yearold daughter, Kaydence Bliss, Flagler Habitat Board of Directors President Sandra McDermott, past Flagler Rotary Club President Jim Callender and current President Matt Maxwell, all attempted to scoop up the soil in the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday, March 4.

Christina and Kaydence are recipients of Flagler Habitat for Humanity’s 89th home. Since the founding of the Flagler Habitat for Humanity in 1992, the program has built and revamped homes for Flagler County residents in need,

ultimately affecting over 400 Flagler County residents. On the cusp of the program’s 25th year, the Whitaker’s home was dedicated to Dr. Jim Guines, one of the core founders of the Flagler Habitat for Humanity.

Dr. Jim Guines’ contributions to the Flagler County community expanded well beyond that of the Flagler Habitat for Humanity.

He was a Flagler County School Board member for over a decade, contributed to the African American Mentoring program, founded the Make It-Take It program and was the president of the Flagler County Rotary Club.

“Flagler Habitat for Humanity started as a dream from a small group of people, and developed into something extraordinary,”

The first stake was drilled into the ground by past Flagler Rotary Club President Jim Callender with founding and current member of the Flagler Habitat Board of Directors Bob Cuff, in honor of Dr. Jim Guines.

FOUR STAKES During the ceremony, four stakes were hammered into the ground to represent the foundation of the house.

The second stake represented the Flagler County Rotary Club and was placed in the ground by current Flagler Rotary Club President Matt Maxwell.

Elliott said. “The program helps to break the cycle of poverty within the community and makes an immense impact in so many people’s lives.”

Christina Whitaker plans to put in 100 hours of volunteer work towards helping to build her home alongside a team of Flagler Habitat of Humanity volunteers. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is expected to be complete by the end of July 2016.

“This has been an opportunity of a lifetime,” said a teary-eyed Christina Whitaker as she held Kaydence close. “It would not have been possible without the Flagler Habitat for Humanity’s support.”

Secret to a faster derby car: ‘Reinforce with extra glitter’ Passions arose at the ninthannual Pinewood Derby Race held in front of Flagler Beach’s City Hall on Friday, March 5, during the Flagler Beach First Friday.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

Kids accompanied by even bigger kids — otherwise known as Mom and Dad — gathered around the 40-foot Pinewood Derby track set up in front of Flagler Beach’s City Hall on Friday, March 4. The Pinewood Derby has been a tradition in Flagler Beach for the past nine years.

“I think the adults get more excited about the race than the kids do,” observed event organizer Tom Gillin.

The cars raced two at a time down the inclined track and emotions ran high causing whoops, laughter and in some cases tears.

“There has already been a lot of trash talking this year between KIX 98.7 and Beach 92.7 here in Flagler Beach,” Gillin said.

“Whenever there is a major rivalry, I make sure that the cars are matched in the same heat. I was told that the manager will shun the losing car to the janitor’s closet,” Gillin laughed.

The derby offered both an adult’s and children’s race brack-

et. Each heat was followed by a double elimination bracket.

First- through third-place winners received a trophy along with the winner of “Most Creative Car.” “The participants can get as elaborate and creative as they want,” Gillin said. “One year LaBella’s pizza entered the race and submitted a car that looked like a pizza slice.”

The championship round for the children’s heat came down to the two fastest derby cars: Laughler and Princess Belle. Ruby Golomb came out victorious with her Princess Belle car by less than a second.

“Ruby won third place last year with her car Pinkalicious,” Mark Golomb said. “She refined her car this year with extra glitter; it must have given it that extra edge.”

ADVICE FROM THE PROS

Awards were given to the first- through third-place winners and the “Most Creative Car.”

According to boyslife.org, a derby car should follow these guidelines: n Avoid designs with a pointed nose. n Leave enough wood in the rear of the pinewood derby car so you can place additional weight. n Make the car the maximum weight allowed. n Keep the cars design as aerodynamic as possible.
