HAPPILY EVER AFTER FOR 70 YEARS AND COUNTING Neil and Ruth Van De Weert each recently celebrated their 90th birthdays and are looking forward to their 70th wedding anniversary.

The two met on the school bus as kids and eventually were married in 1946. They bought a lot in Palm Coast in 1975 but didn’t move here full-time until 2014. Read the full story at palmcoastobserver.com.

L

ike a lot of 6-year-old girls, Avery Bishop loves to practice gymnastics in her living room.

She and her 8-year-old cousin, Lexi Weiner, work on their bridge poses side-by-side, each one encouraging the other to push harder. While Weiner can lift herself almost entirely off the ground, Bishop’s quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy keeps her mainly on the floor. But rather than get frustrated, she just smiles, laughs and tries a little harder.

“She’s never unhappy,” her dad, Gerald Bishop, said.

“And she’s pretty determined to do stuff,” said her mom, Adrienne Bishop. “So we’ve always hoped she was going to walk by Emily Blackwood

Name mixup leads to false arrest Dakota Ward, 19, was arrested after his name was confused with that of another man.

Problem solved: Flagler dominates Flagler students take home big awards at state level. Now, it’s Flaming Flocking Fundraiser time – so students can flock to Michigan.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Anyone with a common name has dealt with the confusion that comes with being mixed up with someone else with the same or a similar name.

Usually, it’s just a nuisance. But for one young Bunnell man, a name mix-up led to criminal charges for failure to appear in court over a battery charge.

Dakota Ward, a resident of Orange Street in Bunnell, didn’t believe it when his friend told him weeks ago that he’d seen Ward’s name on a court roster for a bench warrant.

“I told him he was crazy, because SEE VICTIM PAGE 4

Flagler County students are headed to Michigan State University for the Future Problem Solvers International Competition.

The students brought home 69 awards from the Future Problem Solvers State competition in Orlando on Saturday, April 2. Seventeen of those winners received an invitation to attend the International Conference in East Lansing, Michigan the first week of June.

School Board member, and father of two participants, Andy Dance, was understandably proud of his daughters. He was proud of every Flagler student who participated, but he wouldn’t give the students all of the credit.

“It’s a combination of great

students and the most outstanding teachers who are mentoring these students,” Dance said.

“They are selfless and dedicated to these kids, and that is what was shown in these results.”

herself.”

Currently, Avery Bishop uses a walker to get around, and takes muscle relaxers three times a day to ease the pain and gets Botox injections in her muscles to decrease the spasticity. None of those methods are permanent, and the tightness will only get worse over time due to her body not utilizing the muscles correctly.

Up until a few months ago, her parents thought those were her only options, but a surgical procedure called selective dorsal rhizotomy is making her future look a whole lot brighter. The surgery is a more permanent method that alleviates the spasticity in the muscles and makes it very unlikely to return.

As part of the recovery process, Avery Bishop would have to have physical therapy five times per week for six months to one year following. With this surgery, she has a very good chance of being able to walk independently.

“We’ve never had anyone say, ‘I think you’re daughter’s gonna walk,’” said Adrienne Bishop, with tears in her eyes. “I was at work when they called, and I almost had a panic attack I was so overwhelmed.”

Avery Bishop, who was sitting by her mom’s side, looked up at her with a very concerned face.

“Don’t worry, honey,” Adrienne Bishop smiled as she hugged her close. “These are happy tears.”

“From the time I’ve known her, everything she and her family have endured, all I see are smiles, joys and happiness.”

The surgery itself cost $35,000, and the Bishops’ insurance denied to pay for it because it’s out of state, in St. Louis. So the family is taking matters into their own hands and asking for the help of their community to raise a total of $40,000 to help cover the costs of the surgery and the travel expenses. They’re hoping to have the surgery done in July.

Gail Holt, co-owner of High Tides at Snack Jack, in Flagler Beach, has been a family friend of the Bishops for many years, and when she heard Adrienne Bishop’s story, she knew she had to step in and help.

“She said, ‘I will sell my kidney for my daughter,” Holt said.

“That’s when I was like, ‘Let’s do this. It’s gonna be hard, but we can raise the money.’”

On April 3, the entire restaurant staff — a total of 40 people — came in early to assist with a photoshoot of the 6-year-old to put on a calendar to sell for the the fundraiser.

“The staff fell in love with Avery and her family,” Holt said.

“Just look at her. Are you kidding me? She’s such a special girl.”

ed Sunshine Awards. Tomko had a family emergency following the weekend competition and was unavailable for an interview.

“At the beginning of the State competition, nominations are accepted, and both teachers were awarded for their contributions to the students,” Dance said.

“I was really honored,” Jennifer Colindres said. “Everyone there is an outstanding educator.”

Colindres said the students exceeded all of her expectations.

“We worked hard,” she said.

“We have a class motto – ‘We work hard and we play hard.’”

This will be the second time Colindres is taking students to the International competition.

“I took two kids last year; this year I am taking 20,” Colindres said. “I never imagined that this many of my kids would be invited.”

Dance said the program is a great preparation, not only for college success for the students, but life success as well.

“So many ties to success go back to them being involved in Future Problem Solvers,” he said.

The next challenge will be to ensure that all of the students who worked so hard for this honor get to participate in the International competition in Michigan.

Dance said that means – “It’s Flamingo Flocking time.”

“Once again we will have Flamingo Flocking to help raise funds to offset the costs so they all can participate,” Dance said.

“It’s kind of like a booster club.”

The annual fundraiser allows FPS supporters to flock their friends, family, and neighbor’s yards with plastic pink flamingos. How large a flock is up to the donor. A resident could wake up to an even dozen flamingos for $20, or a yard full of 30 flamingos for $40.

You don’t like the pink plastic State bird of Florida? There’s anti-flocking insurance available for $25 which will protect your yard for a year.

“We are going to have a lot of fundraisers in the next 60 days,” Dance said.

When to restore Flagler Beach?

The county might move ahead, using local and state money.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler’s beaches are getting less sandy — a problem not only for beachgoers, but for anyone who lives near the waterfront and may need to travel Oceanshore Boulevard during an evacuation: As the sand that supports those structures washes away, roads and buildings become vulnerable.

Flagler County thought it had a plan to fix the problem. A 50-year, $43,465,000 Army Corps of Engineers beach renourishment project was to be paid for mostly with federal money, with most of the rest paid for by the state. Now that crucial federal grant money is in jeopardy, Army Corps of Engineers staff told county officials at an April 4 workshop.

When allocating money, the federal government seeks projects in locations where either there has been or soon might be a great deal of costly property damage. That means locations with highrises right on the beach take priority over ones like Flagler, Army Corps Project Manger Jason Harrah said. Flagler’s placement on that scale has recently fallen below the numbers needed to make the cut. Repairs to damage caused by Hurricane Sandy are also eating up federal money.

Plus, the requirements favor projects that have already received some federal funding.

That results in lobbyists needing only $1 for a project, because that $1 could make it eligible for thousands or millions more down the line. But Flagler hasn’t yet received even $1 for design and permitting.

“We’re living in the land of no earmarks,” Harrah said. “To date, we’ve received no federal funds.”

A feasibility study for the project is already done. But the design and permitting phase may cost $900,000 and take two years.

The proposal was simple: Sand would be trucked in and added to Flagler’s beach, from the pier to 26th Street South to extend the dunes seaward, and protect the structures behind them — a process called renourishment.

Every 11 years, more sand would be added.

But in order to get sand that matched Flagler’s orange tint, pits would be drilled about 7 miles offshore. The sand would have to be extracted and then transported by boat to the beach. And it’s a lot of sand: Extending the dunes seaward by 10 feet would take about enough sand to fill 88 Olympicsized swimming pools.

Flagler has options: It could wait for federal funding that may not come, seek state money and add local funds, contract with another firm, or do nothing.

County Administrator Craig Coffey proposed moving forward with the project without federal money.

“You may never have this alignment of planets and funding opportunities,” he said.

ARRESTED

Dakota Ward, 19, was offshore fishing with his father March 26 when his mother called him to say that three policemen had arrived at the house.

Worried, Dakota and his father came back.

“Once we got back into Palm Coast, I called the Sheriff’s Office so they could send an officer out to speak to me, and tell me what was going on,” Dakota Ward said.

The officer, Dakota Ward said, “Asked if I was Dakota Ward, and I said ‘Yes sir,’ and he said, ‘We have warrant out for your arrest.’ And I said, ‘For what?’ And he said … ‘A failure to appear on a misdemeanor battery charge.’”

There wasn’t much he could do, then and there, with a law enforcement officer who was sure he was their guy, Dakota Ward said.

“I put my hands behind my back, and said, ‘OK,’” he said.

His parents were there when he was arrested, and were able to post his $1,000 bond. He spent about an hour and a half in jail.

The family hired attorney Joshua Davis, who summarized the mix -up to a reporter.

“The officer wrote a 707” — an arrest affidavit — “which was forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office,” Davis said. “The State Attorney decided to file charges on that incident. So charges are filed, and they send out summons, so people appear (in court).

Dakota Ward — pictured here with a cobia caught off the coast of St. Augustine — wasn’t the one who committed the crime deputies were investigating. But, due to a name mixup, he was the one who got arrested.

Well, they got the wrong kid as the defendant, and of course he didn’t show up, because they’re serving him at the real defendant’s address.”

Soon enough, Dakota’s mug shot appeared online. Davis printed out a copy and met with Chad Cox, the 25-year-old victim of the Dec. 15 battery for which Dakota Ward had been arrested for failing to appear in court.

Cox wrote across the printout of the mug shot, “I Chad Cox am 100% sure this is the wrong guy it’s NOT De’coda Ward,” then signed it. Davis sent that signed printout to the Palm Coast Observer.

Cox’s mother, a witness in the case, confirmed to a reporter that the Dakota Ward who’d been arrested wasn’t the one who hit her son. The young man who was arrested, Dakota, had brown hair and brown eyes. The one who hit her son — whose name was spelled De’coda, she said — had blondish hair and blue eyes.

“The Dakota that they arrested is not the same De’coda Ward,” Donna Cox said. “I feel very bad that he’s in there. … My son met with the attorney of the wrong Dakota Ward one, and even looked at the picture and said, ‘Yeah, that’s not him.’”

Davis tried to clear things up with the Sheriff’s Office, he said.

“It’s frustrating,” he said. “After something like this happens, you would hope that somebody would jump on it and say, ‘Oh wow, we really screwed up.’ I keep getting the ‘cog-in-the-wheel’ speech.

It’s nobody’s problem, yet I got a kid siting in jail over something he didn’t do. … I’ve been practicing law awhile, and this is pretty

upsetting to me.”

Dakota Ward has twice since his arrest had law enforcement officers show up at his home to serve him papers to appear in court, Davis said.

THE CRIME

Here’s what happened, according to the initial police report from the crime.

On Dec. 15, Sheriff’s Office deputies were called out to a home on Forrester Lane. A deputy took a statement from Cox, the victim, and summarized it in a form 707 charging affidavit, writing that Cox “stated that Dakota Ward (suspect) and Steven Docking (suspect) attacked him.”

Cox had been in an argument with his girlfriend, who “then texted her ex-boyfriend, Dakota, and asked him to come over to get Chad out of the home.” Concerned that things were escalating, Cox called his mother, Donna Cox, who came to the house as well. At some point, “Dakota then became angry and confronted him,” and, along with Docking, began punching him in the face, according to the report. The two men only stopped hitting him after Donna Cox intervened, according to the report.

By the time deputies arrived, the two alleged attackers were gone.

WHAT WENT WRONG?

There are supposed to be protections that would prevent someone from being arrested for a crime committed by another person with the same or a similar name.

After Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) detectives conducted a follow up criminal investigation today, the state attorney’s office has dropped the charges against the Bunnell man wrongfully arrested on Saturday, March 26, 2016. FCSO Detention employees have removed his picture and identifying information from our website. The administrative expungement process will continue without delay until all records have been properly addressed.

“This was a terrible mistake and we offer our sincere apology to this man and his family and we are doing everything in our power to rectify this matter. Although the internal investigation is not completed, it is apparent that this was an isolated mistake, one completed without malice or any intent,” said Flagler County Sheriff James L. Manfre.

In accordance with Florida Statute 112.533, as soon as the investigation is completed and a finding has been presented to the deputy, the report will be released.

The correct suspect has been identified and charges will be forwarded to the state attorney’s office for their review.

I hadn’t gotten in trouble for anything.”

He hadn’t: The State Attorney’s Office has now dropped all charges against him, and the Sheriff’s Office has opened an internal investigation about the case. But another man with a similar name — De’coda Ward, who Dakota said he’d gone to school with at FPC and been mixed up with even then, receiving De’coda’s disciplinary reports — had, according to the victim and a witness in the battery case, hit someone Dec.15.

That man allegedly failed to show up in court, according to court records, so Judge Melissa Moore Stens signed a warrant March 23 for failure to appear in court over the battery charge — but the original arrest affidavit mistakenly listed the defendant as “Dakota Ward,” and the warrant was signed for “Dakota Ward.”

PALM COAST OBSERVER

PalmCoastObserver.com

“It looks like it’s an unfortunate mistake that happened,” Hathaway said. “We dropped all charges when we became aware of it. All of the information on the 707 form was wrong — all consistent with the person who was arrested, but not the right Dakota.”

As bad as things have been for his client, Davis said, mix-ups like this one could be even worse and have life-long consequences.

“Luckily, it was a battery charge,” Davis said. “But what if the charge was, say, lewd and lascivious molestation on a child under 5? … Try explaining that to your employer at 18 years old. ‘Oh yeah, that’s not me.’”

And, he said after a reporter told him of the internal affairs investigation, this wasn’t just one deputy’s error: There would have been missteps throughout the process that led to his client’s arrest, plus the multiple incidents of deputies coming to Dakota Ward’s house since. “They’ll fire the first guy, and then go on doing the same thing,” he said.

Dakota Ward is worried about the ramifications of the arrest, like records that may remain online.

The Sheriff’s Office has determined that the arrest was “a terrible mistake,” Sheriff James L. Manfre said in a news release, and the agency has removed Dakota Ward’s information, including his mug shot, from its online records.

But mug shots are often aggregated by a number of private websites, so anyone who Googled the young man’s name might still see that he’d been arrested.

As to the arrest itself, Dakota Ward said, “All of my friends, seeing my mug shot pop up — it’s kind of humiliating.”

Observer reporter, the Sheriff’s Office administration opened an internal affairs investigation on the deputy who filled out the arrest affidavit naming Dakota Ward as a suspect, Sheriff’s Office spokesman James Troiano said.

The agency can not talk about details of what happened — and what, potentially, went wrong — until it’s over, he said.

“I certainly understand that this could be on the minds of many,” Troiano said. “We’ll determine what happened, and then at that point, determine what actions must be taken. ” For now, Deputy James Gore has been placed on paid administrative leave, Troiano said. If he’s found at fault, consequences can range from a written reprimand to a firing. The Sheriff’s Office believes there was “no malicious intent” on the part of the deputy.

“It can happen,” he said. “We have procedures in place, we have training, we have supervisory oversight, we have intervention, we have the review process — we take it very seriously. When you think about having the ability to take someone’s liberty from them, that’s very powerful.”

The investigation will determine if any policies were breached, and if new policies or further training might be needed, he said.

“We don’t believe this is a systemic problem at all,” Troiano said.

“It’s isolated to one incident, and from there we need to get to the bottom of it as efficiently as possible.”

The State Attorney’s Office realized the error and has now dropped all charges against Dakota Ward, State Attorney’s Office spokesman Spencer Hathaway said.

M

y kids are not into roller coasters, but they got the thrill ride of their lives last week, whether they wanted it or not.

On the way to a basketball practice for my son, I turned southbound onto Interstate 95 from Matanzas Woods Parkway.

“Oh, is it open now?” my 9-year-old son, Grant, said with a big grin on his face.

“Yep,” I said. “Exit 293.

Pretty cool, right?”

Ellie, 6, summed up the way all Matanzas Woods residents feel as they go down the ramp.

She closed her eyes and said, “Weeeeeeeee!”

There wasn’t the type of rush you get on a real roller coaster, but the new interchange is certainly a cause for celebration for us northerners.

The basketball practice that day was at Seminole Woods Park. Usually, I hate that park because it’s so far away. But

I’ve heard some Palm Coasters who remember the days when there were only a couple of stop lights in town. Now we have a third interchange! We’ve come a long way!

with the easier access to I-95, I got to the park in 15 minutes, whereas it usually takes about 30 when I take U.S. 1. I was so excited that I called my wife, Hailey, to share the news.

WHAT’S IN STORE? What difference will the interchange make? Everyone is speculating that it could be a big boost to development on the northern end of Palm Coast.

County Engineer Faith Alkhatib, who was in charge of the project, said she has been getting lots of phone calls from developers asking about the progress of the interchange.

Now that it’s complete, it seems that it will be only a matter of time.

“The planets are aligning to do some good things up there,” said Craig Coffey, county administrator.

this excited about, but when the road impacts you daily, it becomes big news.

Unfortunately, as I looked up directions to these places on Google Maps, the time savings aren’t nearly as dramatic as they seemed in our heads.

According to Google, I only saved two minutes on the way to Seminole Woods Park.

Thanks a lot, Google. What a party pooper.

But the party livens right back up when you talk to Faith Alkhatib. She is one of my neighbors and also happens to be an engineer for Flagler County and was the driving force behind the interchange project.

I saw Faith recently at the Government Services Building, where she works, and we stopped to share our giddiness. Her anticipation of the interchange began long before I moved to Palm Coast.

In 2001, she and her husband both worked for the Florida Department of Transportation, and their son attended a school in St. Johns County. Searching for a central location for all of them, they explored Palm Coast. A real estate agent told them about the interchange that was being planned at Matanzas Woods, and they were hooked. An interchange near their home would solve all their problems!

Little did she know that, in a matter of years, she would start working on the interchnage herself as a county employee. Little did she know that it would take 15 more years than the real estate agent had promised.

But who’s counting?

We can’t be upset: We’re too busy celebrating and calculating how long it takes to drive places. Now we can get to Orlando in half the time!

Dear Editor: In the March 31 edition of the Palm Coast Observer, a person ostensibly attempted to temper the strong oppositions expressed concerning political discourse. I say “ostensibly” because her attempt to appear temperate was betrayed by her attack on Fox News. She implied that Fox News, unlike other news outlets, expresses only one side of an issue.

She reminds me of the manon-the-street interviews with members of rent-a-mobs who

disrupt gatherings of those with whom they are encouraged to disrupt. In addition to not knowing what they are opposing, they attempt to discredit another’s expression of opinion. They see no irony in their expression and their attempt to deny or discredit the expression of another.

Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of news outlets knows that Fox News routinely schedules head-tohead discussions of issues.

This is very unlike other news outlets. Yet this attack is routinely expressed against Fox News.

In addition, opposition to Fox News even includes attempts to prevent companies from advertising on Fox News, in an attempt to silence the network. Similar actions are taken in, of all places, colleges around the country. One would think that a main tenet of a college/university would be freedom of speech, in an attempt to prepare youngsters for the real world. Yet, the opposite is true. Only certain speech is acceptable. And any attempt to express another view is either prevented or disrupted.

SPEEDING WITH POT AND FRAUDULENT CREDIT CARDS? BAD IDEA. 3:46 p.m. 6700 block of U.S. 1.

Unlawful speed: A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was driving north on U.S. 1 in Bunnell when he saw a southbound Ford Escape speed by. The radar clocked the car at 84 mph. The trooper did a U-turn and stopped the car. The 22-year-old driver provided an ID card, but there was a problem: His driver’s license was revoked. Also, the car smelled of pot, which the trooper found inside the car. And then there was the baggie full of credit and debit cards — 27 of them — at least some of which were fraudulent.

The Secret Service assisted on the traffic stop and used electronic equipment to determine that one of the cards with the driver’s name on it had been re-encoded with another card’s credit card number. The same was true of another card that had one of the passenger’s names on it. The trooper arrested the driver and the two passengers.

MARCH 31

THIEF STEALS PURSE FROM CAR FLOORBOARD, DOESN’T BOTHER WITH $10,000 OF PHOTO EQUIPMENT IN TRUNK 8:35 p.m. 6400 block of N. Oceanshore Boulevard.

Car break-in: A 28-year-old woman told a deputy that she and her photography clients both parked their cars in the parking lot of a state park at about 7:30 p.m., but when they returned at about 8 p.m., the driver’s side rear passenger window of the photographer’s car had been bashed in, and her black Coach purse was missing. She’d left it sitting on

the floorboard behind the driver’s seat, and it contained a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, plus credit cards, cash and makeup, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. Altogether, about $740 was stolen.

Meanwhile, the thief didn’t touch the approximately $10,000 worth of photography equipment in the Jeep’s trunk.

WHAT’S THAT SMELL? DEPUTY SMELLS ‘STRONG ODOR,’ FINDS MARIJUANA STASHED INSIDE A SOCK 12:40 a.m. 500 block of East Moody Boulevard.

Petit theft: A deputy was patrolling a gas station on East Moody Boulevard when he saw an empty car sitting at one of the pumps, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. The deputy ran the tag number, and it came up as stolen.

A man walked out of the convenience car and began pumping gas, and when the deputy asked him if that was his car, the man said it was. The deputy secured the man, a 28-year-old, and called for backup. There was a “strong odor coming from within the vehicle,” and the deputy found — inside a string bag hidden inside a sock — “a clear baggy containing a green leafy substance and a brown wooden smoking apparatus containing presumptive cannabis residue.” The man told the deputy he’d bought the car a week ago, and the deputy told him the tag had been stolen March 27, long after that. Then the man said he’d “found the tag lying on the ground,” and stuck it on the car since it didn’t have a tag when he bought it. The deputy arrested the man for petit theft and possession of cannabis and drug paraphernalia.

“They invited us to be on the panel.”

Bowe was particularly interested in the padded shoulder cup, and how it was going to fit onto the dog’s shoulder, and work with the prosthetic.

Owners David Zolondek and Yashoda Sandoval watched as their dog basked in the attention, even when the attention involved fitting and adjusting the foreign contraption to his body. Champ’s initial attempts to walk on four legs were awkward.

“He obviously gets along well (on three legs),” VandeBunte said.

“Despite his agility, it puts an unnecessary amount of pressure on his shoulder. This will result in wear and tear as he ages.”

The students were set up in two classrooms, ready to explain their processes.

“They started out in separate groups, but decided to work together, and formed a ‘super group,’ which consisted of making a super prosthetic with interchangeable parts,” VandeBunte said.

VandeBunte said the goal is to have the final leg/harness design completed by this summer.

Champ, a three-legged German Shepherd, showed incredible patience and good nature as the students in Courtney VandeBunte’s Anatomy and Drawing class, at the FPC i3 Academy, performed the first fittings of his new prosthetic leg on Monday, April 4.

Since having his front left leg amputated at the shoulder following a car accident, Champ has adapted to three legs. He demonstrated this by jumping up, licking, and greeting everyone in the roomful of students, school administration, and reporters.

Jim Bowe, president of Arrow Rehabilitation, and a member of the Flagler Education Foundation, spoke with the students, who had set up stations showing their roles in the process.

“We helped the kids with the design of it, and offered the kids our feedback from a therapist standpoint with prosthetics, because we do a lot of splinting and prosthetic work.” Bowe said.

County now reluctant to meet with city over EMS County officials are having second thoughts about a joint city/county meeting. City officials aren’t pleased.

CITY COUNCILMAN: ‘AY AY AY AY AY’ Palm Coast held its City Council meeting a day after county commissioners announced their reluctance to meet with City Council. Steve Nobile wasn’t happy.

“I am embarrassed and tired of people grabbing me on the side of the road and saying, ‘Hey, did you read what the county did this week, in the newspaper?’” he said during the City Council meeting. “And I go, ‘No,’ so I have to go home

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

For months, the Flagler County Commission and the Palm Coast City Council have gone back and forth over issues of ambulances and fire trucks.

City officials talk about EMS at a City Council meeting; county officials at a County Commission meeting say they disagree with something city officials said; city officials address the issue again at the next city meeting; but the two sides would never meet face to face.

Then, Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts wrote a letter to the County Commission March 17 requesting a joint meeting, and at first, county officials talked about setting a date for a meeting, though not all were enthusiastic.

“Has anyone specified what the problem is that we’re trying to fix?” Commissioner Frank Meeker said at a County Commission

2nd Annual

meeting March 21.

Palm Coast officials have said the city/county system involves a duplication of services. Palm Coast can’t transport patients to the hospital without county approval, which it doesn’t have, but city fire stations are often closer to the source of a call than a county ambulance is. So on emergency calls, the city sends out paramedics on fire trucks, who aid a patient until a county ambulance can take them to the hospital.

That’s costly for the city because fire trucks are expensive to run.

City officials have proposed placing county ambulances in two city

fire stations so that a single ambulance could go out with a joint city/ county paramedic staff, but county officials have noted potential problems with that plan.

Netts proposed a meeting, but now, county commissioners are rethinking it. Three of the City Council’s five members aren’t running for re-election this year, and three County Commission

“Recognizing that essentially, the City Council is going to have — unquestionably — three new members that may or may not feel a certain way ... I would ask this board to consider postponing until new boards are seated,” Commissioner Nate McLaughlin said.

Commissioner Charlie Ericksen also didn’t see the need for

that. This is what I’m tired of. ...

I read it like 15 minutes before I left to come here, and I was like, ‘Ay ay ay ay ay.’” Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts wanted to address the EMS issue, too.

“I recently was told that one of the county commissioners has said that that commissioner doesn’t understand what the problem is that we’re trying to solve,” Netts said. “That was the reason that this council asked me, or directed me, to write a letter requesting a joint meeting: so that we could explain the issue.”

and read that we have a proxy war going on, on this EMS thing with the ambulance. And there was an article I went home and read where they said, well, they might have thought of meeting with us, but now they’re not and there’s no reason to. Or they want to save it, now, to after the election — because this is like appointing a Supreme Court justice so we’ve got to wait until the next election. ... This issue is getting irritating.

The women of the Bunnell congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donated 27 handmade tote bags filled with hygiene products to the Family Life Center, a local nonprofit organization that provides safety and support to victims of domestic violence.

The women also collected shoes, clothes, diapers and other needed items over a sixweek period. The service project culminated March 26 with an evening of fellowship and the commemoration of the 164th birthday of the Relief Society.

For more information about the Family Life Center, go to familylifecenterflagler.org.

Mildred O’Bryan celebrated her 93rd birthday March 16 with a group of 12 ladies at the Chicken Pantry in Bunnell. O’Bryan has been a leader in many church and civic organizations. She is a popular figure in the A.M. Guild and the Black Catholic Guild of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. She came to her party sporting a bright green hat in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Several guests stopped by the lunch table to wish her a happy birthday, including Sheriff’s Office representative J. Troiano,

Carolyn Thompkins, president of the Bunnell Relief Society and Patricia King, service project coordinator, stand in front of the donations made to the Family Life Center.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office

Joseph Eberhardinger and Anthony Cattogio

Two arrested after showing guns Two Palm Coast men were arrested in separate incidents March 30 after they showed their firearms, scaring others.

The first incident happened at the Metro Diner at Island Walk at about 3:18 p.m.

Joseph Eberhardinger, 24 and a resident of Upshire Path in Palm Coast, showed up at the diner with his girlfriend, Cassandra Hoffman, who’d recently been terminated from her job at the diner. She’d come with Eberhardinger to pick up her last check.

Hoffman and the diner’s general manager exchanged words, and Eberhardinger told the general manager he was going to report her to the Better Business Bureau, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

Eberhardinger and Hoffman walked back to Eberhardinger’s Toyota Tacoma, and three witnesses saw him open the rear truck door and remove a black assault rifle and cock it multiple times. Someone called police.

Eberhardinger told a deputy that he had not intended to display the gun. He said that after leaving the diner, he’d started the truck and then smelled an odd odor and stopped, still in the parking lot, to find out what it was. When he moved the rifles to look under the rear seat, he told a deputy, one of the guns — a Century Arms AK-47 — fell out and he grabbed it and put it back.

Deputies didn’t buy his story.

It “did not logically make sense,” a deputy wrote in the arrest report, “that after being in a verbal altercation with the Metro Diner General Manager, he should remove guns from his vehicle in order to attempt to locate an odd odor that he just all of a sudden started to smell.”

Deputies took the AK-47 into evidence, and removed three other rifles and two pistols from the truck. Deputies arrested Eberhardinger for improper exhibition of a firearm.

In the second case, a 15-year-

old was swimming with his friends in a lake on the east side of Belle Terre Boulevard north of Zonal Geranium Trail when a car pulled up with four young men in it, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

One of the young men in the car was 19-year-old Palm Coast resident Anthony Catoggio.

Catoggio and the other young men from the car began to swim with the 15-year-old and his friends, but then became aggressive, the 15-year-old later told deputies. Then Catoggio said, “Are you guys done?” The 15-year-old asked him what he meant, and Catoggio “told them he would show them what he means,” then went to his truck and grabbed a gun from it.

The 15-year-old and the others swam away.

Catoggio later told a deputy that the 15-year-old had kicked sand at him and his friends, and “he got upset,” according to the report. Catoggio told the deputy he went to his truck and pulled out a Remington 597 .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle and put it on the car’s hood, and asked his friends if they thought he’d get in trouble if he began to shoot it into the water.

Catoggio “said he was going

to shoot the rifle in the same water that (the 15-year-old) and his friends were still in. He said he wasn’t going to shoot towards them,” the deputy wrote in the report. Four other teens corroborated the 15-year-old‘s story. The deputy arrested Catoggio for improper exhibition of a firearm.

SWAT team breaks down man’s door after hoax call The following is an edited news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office: The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a “swatting” incident that occurred in Palm Coast March 29. “Swatting” involves someone calling

police to falsely report an incident to draw a response from tactical officers.

The Sheriff’s Office got a call on an administrative line at about 9:12 p.m. from a caller who said men armed with AK47s entered a home at 14 Ziegler Place and shot her relative.

A deputy found a man at the home and tried to make contact, but the man shut the garage door and refused to come out.

Deputies used their public address systems to have the man come out, and after about two hours of his refusing to make contact, the SWAT team breached the front door.

According to the man, he was scared to come out because he was robbed by what he called “police” a short time ago in Daytona Beach and he feared he was being robbed again.

The man told deputies no crime had occurred in the home; a search of the home confirmed his statement. He will not be charged. No one was found injured in the home.

The investigation as to who made the call is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to call deputies at 313-4911. Or, to stay anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-8477.

‘We are looking to win’ Bulldogs weightlifting team hopes to return with state championships.

he Flagler Palm Coast Bulldogs weightlifting team celebrated four individual regional championships and a third-place finish in team competition Friday, April 1, at FPC. Kendrick Thomas (129), Dante Bell (154), Colton Chinn (238), Mike Astro (heavyweight), who also won their district titles, will go to the FHSAA State Weightlifting Meet looking to be crowned a champion again.

“Everybody exceeded their goals, and we’re looking to win as a team at the state championships,” coach Duane Hagstrom said.

Other than the four region champs, senior Dillan Walls also advanced, and Nicolai Murray advanced for Matanzas.

Thomas will go in as the only top seed, and Astro and Bell will be seeded at second and third, respectively. Hagstrom believes they all have a good chance to take first place and join 2013 lifter Devon McIntire as state champions.

UP NEXT:

The FHSAA State Weightlifting Meet will be held on Friday and Saturday, April 14-15, at the Kissimmee Civic Center. Class 1A will compete at 10 a.m. on Friday, and Class 2A will begin at the same time Saturday.

ho would’ve known that a country as beautiful as New Zealand would be filled with such hopelessfeeling young teenagers? This near-depressing thought has gripped my mind ever since I got on the plane to come home, and it hasn’t stopped.

While there for six days, I was asked to preach the gospel of Jesus and share my life story — when I was also once submerged in hopelessness — on a number of occasions, and I preached to countless young teens, who don’t envision a bright future for themselves.

I made tons of new friends, and I hope to return there soon, so I can cultivate what I planted in my short stint there. My wife, Jessica, was afraid that I wouldn’t want to come home, and she was right. There’s such a great need for people of hope to wrap their arms around that country, but there doesn’t seem to be enough arms willing to go.

While there, I made history for a group of native middle school and high school dropouts. My brother, Clarence, and I became the first African-Americans these kids had ever seen faceto-face. I never thought anyone would be so excited to see two black men. But, after they settled down, I told them my purpose for being there, and I tried to persuade them to get back in school and to pursue a different life path.

That took place on my last day there, which made it all the more difficult to leave, but what made my return necessary is the fact that America, or our surrounding areas, share this same story.

Kids struggle with depression, drugs and violence at such young ages, and, as a youth minister, I see and hear about this too often. Just as I spent nearly every day in the land down under the land down under, talking about a Savior who has come to give hope, I’m all the more encouraged to do the same in this community — and I’m glad I have lots of help.

I recently attended a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting, where members of the community discussed the establishment of a leadership board and the desire to provide resources to middle and high school students who want to have an FCA Huddle (club).

FCA believes that significance, meaning and purpose are found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and I couldn’t agree more. So, I’m excited to be back, and I’m ever more excited to team up with this organization to give hope to those who need it most — our youth.

Palm Coast Crush 13U baseball team hoists its championship trophy.

File photo by Jeff Dawsey

Amanda Raleigh is the only FPC player to win four straight district titles.

Raleigh, the Rotary Scholar-Athlete Amanda Raleigh, four-year varsity letterman for Flagler Palm Coast, was honored as the Flagler Rotary Scholar-Athlete for the month of March.

Raleigh recently represented the North Region of Florida in the Florida Coaches Association Senior All-Star Soccer Classic, where she played 75% of the minutes for two games. The North beat the South 2-0 on Fri-

day and then tied the West 3-3 in the championship game. Raleigh scored a header off a corner kick in the game.

Raleigh is the only player in FPC history to win four straight district championships. She started all four years at center back. She also won three conference championships, and she played on FPC’s only Final Four team. Raleigh will be attending the University of South Carolina Upstate.

The Palm Coast Crush 13U recently won the USSSA Spring Fever Baseball Tournament in March, in Ormond Beach.

Aedan Celestino was credited as the tournament’s top performer, due to pitching a no-hitter in Game No. 1. Tate Underburg went on to pitch the Crush to victory in Game 2, and Nathan Quinn pitched a twohitter to wrap up a 9-1 win and the championship.

Pacifico wows at future home, again Since committing to the University of Florida, senior runner Justin Pacifico has visited the school twice for competitions, and he’s run away from his competition in all of his races.

Pacifico’s most recent wins came at the Pepsi Florida Relays this past weekend, where he won the 800-meter race with a third consecutive PR, this time 1:51:87, which is 20 seconds behind the nation’s fastest time this year.

Pacifico also teamed up with

Justin Pacifico, Dominic Green, Ka’Deem Wynn and Slade Cavallaro

fellow Bulldogs Dominic Green, Slade Cavallaro and Ka’Deem Wynn to win the 4x800-meter relay, the eighth-best time in the nation.

“It’s always intense (compet-

ing at UF) but fun,” he said.

Pacifico’s 1:51 puts him just two seconds shy of Sammy Vaszuez’s 1:49 school record, which he hopes to break before he graduates.

Pirates lacrosse finish regular season in dominating fashion Sitting at 1-3 early on in the season, it appeared the Matanzas Lady Pirates’ 2016 lacrosse season was quickly heading down the drain, similar to the previous year. Since then, the girls have yet to lose, currently riding an 11-game win streak to the district championship.

“We decided that instead of hoping we win, we were going to work our butts off for one another,” said team captain Bailee Hurd.

“And, I credit Coach (LeAnn Johnston) so much. She really got tough on us this year. She knew we wanted to win; we just needed her push and coaching skills. We had a lot of new plays this year that have been really successful

so far.”

Johnston has completely flipped the Lady Pirates’ wonloss record in just one season, taking Matanzas from a 2-11 to 12-3 team record. They haven’t loss since Feb. 18.

The Lady Pirates will pit their win streak on the line, when they play St. Augustine in the district final April 7, in St. Augustine.

YOUR NEIGHBORS Turtle Fest:

Fun and a fundraiser at Flagler Beach ONLINE

A local restaurant will help raise money for Turtle Patrol for the rest of the year.

T

urtle Fest celebrated its ninth year in Flagler Beach Saturday, April 2.

The event owes its success to Lori Ottlein, who started Turtle Fest in hopes of raising money for Turtle Patrol, the local volunteer organization dedicated to preserving turtle life on Flagler and Volusia beaches.

Turtle Fest is the only fundraiser for Turtle Patrol, and is needed to raise money and awareness.

Ottlein wasn’t sure what would happen when she ran that first festival nine years ago, but every year it just gets bigger and bigger. Ottlein became involved 16 years ago with her very first turtle, a 26-year old reptile named Samantha.

Turtle Patrol’s operations are funded differently in Flagler and Volusia. In Volusia, Turtle Patrol is provided funds through the state to operate, mainly from allowing vehicles on the beaches.

For Flagler’s Turtle Patrol, Turtle Fest assures most of the group’s funding.

To be able to operate Turtle Patrol, the group needs to be able to protect the turtle nests.

Required supplies include flags for marking turtle nests, and ATV fuel to drive the beach to locate any new nests.

The Flagler Turtle Patrol’s supporters include Paul Chestnut and Scott Fox, new owners of Tortugas restaurant (formerly Fuego del Mar). Tortugas will donate $1 to the Flagler Beach Turtle Patrol for every bottle of Terrapin Hopsecutioner beer they sell. The promotion raised $225 for Turtle Patrol in its first two weeks. If they are able to keep that up, by the end of the year, they will have raised $4,275.

If you would like to help out our local Turtle Patrol you can adopt a nest or donate, by visiting the website, turtlepatrol.com.

PETS OF TH E WEEK

How did I almost miss National Scoop the Poop Week?

GUEST PETS

Gracie and Pepper, who own Cindy Horton, are my guest pets of the week, pictured at the bottom right.

Gracie is the brown pup. She is a 9-year-old apricot English mastiff who has lived in the Horton household since she was 8 weeks old.

Pepper is about 6 years old. She is a blue tick/Walker hound whose main function is being Gracie’s pet, or is it playmate?

STAFF WRITER

Laugh if you will, but it is a serious issue.

I

t wasn’t on my calendar, no one mentioned it on Facebook – no, I had to learn about National Scoop the Poop Week from a fellow blogger.

How is it this is not an official holiday? You know, a holiday where the banks are closed, the kids are off from school and we all stay home to scoop poop?

Gifts of doggie bags and long-handled scoops could be exchanged — and greeting cards! I drove down to Publix, and, in the greeting card aisle, I found birthday cards, get well cards, anniversary cards, graduations cards — and more than a month early – Mother’s Day cards. But not one solitary Scoop the Poop Week greeting card. Hallmark you are missing out on a “gold” mine; watch your step.

According to my sources,

who can’t agree on anything, this vital week-long observance either starts on April Fools Day or on April 4. Either way, it lasts a week. To be safe, I will celebrate through next Monday, April 11.

In all seriousness, this shouldn’t be one day, or one week. It should be celebrated every day, every time you take your dog out for a walk.

Doggie doo is more than an unattractive nuisance. It’s

bad for the environment, as the poop not scooped, leaches into the soil and runs off into water supplies. This makes it a health hazard for you, your pet and the fish in the sea. The fish you’re having for dinner tonight is one of the leading sources of parvo in dogs, and of E. Coli, bad for the rest of us.

So as you celebrate this holiday, please bend and scoop, and encourage others to do the same.

School art to be displayed at gallery,

not on refrigerator

Art students at Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high schools have the opportunity to display their art in the Salvo Art Gallery.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

It isn’t surprising to find excellent art work featured in the Salvo Art Gallery. Saturday, April 3, was no exception. What was a little different was the average age of the artists whose work was on display — 16 years old.

“I think it keeps getting better every year,” said Ed Beckett, graphic design instructor at Flagler Palm Coast High School. “We do a show at FCAL every fall, and J.J. (Graham) and Petra (Iston) let us do this show here in the spring.”

The show featured nearly 65 pieces of art, in a variety of mediums, created by students at FPC and Matanzas high schools. The top four received prize money for their work. Judi Wormeck, from the Flagler County Art League, judged the pieces. Skip Westphal, also from FCAL, presented an award from the League.

Art Gallery owner and artist JJ Graham congratulated the students and gave them some words of experience.

“If your piece didn’t receive an award, don’t let that discourage

Giana Pubill’s mother, Jeannette Pubill, and her uncle, Orlando Pubill, proudly snap photos of Giana, one of the winning artists of the night.

The advantages of pre-approval vs. pre-qualification are twofold: you’re more attractive to sellers, who needn’t worry that they’ll accept your offer only to have your loan turned down.
