Is it really worth it? High stakes, high rewards: Nothing better describes America’s favorite sport. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

illiam Warren, a local youth sports coach and father of four, will not allow his athletic son, Jacob, to play football. He says, “With so many alternatives to tackle football for children, I can’t see the value of letting them line up and crash into each other for an hour every week (not even including practices). Putting concussions aside (which alone is a qualified reason), the amount of broken bones and knee and ankle injuries is simply too much to ignore. I can see letting young men play after reaching puberty, when they are building muscle mass, but anything before can be substituted with many other sports.” Michelle Mott, mother of three football kids, allows her sons to play the game, saying, “Football is dangerous, but so are other sports. Getting the

Football: Is it really worth it? FROM PAGE 1
right coaching staff is one of the most important parts of youth football. My son Mason is going to play for the same coaches he had a couple years ago. They know him very well, and we trust them. They teach safety and sportsmanship.” Warren and Mott symbolize a community that is now torn about a game that offers so much, but can also take so much away. High stakes, high rewards: Nothing better describes America’s favorite sport, which is currently taking a severe hit. As high school football players’ families prepare for another actionpacked season, during the season dozens of families will have to improvise for life-altering injuries — and some will hold funerals. Armed with more injury awareness, youth football has plummeted in the last five years, especially compared to its growth in decades past. According to a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center survey, one in three parents lives in fear that their child will get a concussion playing football, and 25% of parents do not let their kids play some contact sports for fear of concussions. These numbers line up almost exactly with the drop in youth football participation from 2010 to 2015. Football collisions are often likened to car crashes, and the results are often similar. Whether it’s broken limbs or concussions — which have become the biggest injury focus — human bodies continue to show they are not fit for weekly, or play-by-play collisions. In 2003, a Virginia Tech study recorded 3,312 hits during 35 practices and 10 games in a season, when they rotated eight specially fitted helmets among 38 players. Offensive linemen endured the most hits, followed by defensive linemen, running backs, linebackers, wide receivers and defensive backs. Quarterbacks recorded the fewest hits. CTE
In the last decade, Dr. Bennet Omalu, whose life was depicted in the movie “Concussion,” discovered and developed his research on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease found in people who have had a severe blow, or repeated blows, to the head. In most cases of football players who died, they were later diagnosed with CTE. Some CTE symptoms include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, Parkinsonism, and, eventually, progressive dementia. CTE has been found in the brains of players as young as 17. MAKING THE GAME SAFER
Thanks to new research and regulations, efforts have been made to put a safer game on the field. Many rough forms of tackling have been banned, and certain parts of the body — especially the head — can no longer be targeted.

Flagler Palm Coast’s Ryan Dean lay motionless with a concussion during the Bulldogs game against Mainland last season.
A few months ago, Flagler County coaches became pioneers in purchasing helmets made with sensors to record the level of blows received. While the sensors don’t prevent players from injuries, they do communicate data about hard hits, so that coaches can know when to keep players out of games due to a risk of injury. GETTING AN EDUCATION THROUGH FOOTBALL
According to scholarshipstats. com, 27,636 high school football players received sports scholarships in 2015. Scholarships provide many student-athletes the opportunity to get an education they otherwise couldn’t afford. Football also teaches players skills they will use for the rest of their lives off the field. Throughout a season, a player will learn to depend on his teammate for every play or practice session. He will fail, succeed, cry, laugh and learn leadership, discipline, responsibility and perseverance. Players will also be mentored by older men on a consistent basis. More times than not, a player will praise one of his coaches for steering him in the right direction. Along with their relationships with their coaches, players will find lifetime friends on the field and in the locker room. With so many teammates over the course of 10-12 playing years, the athletes will continue life-long relationships with the men who lined up next to them to achieve that common goal. And, when it comes to the physicality of the game, not all is bad. Athletes regularly work out and are in the best shape of their lives during their career. David Mustin, a former Seabreeze player who suffered a life-altering injury on the field that paralyzed him, still enjoys the game, and this is his perspective on the controversy: “There’s always potential for something

to happen, no matter what you’re doing. I personally have no problem with it. If an injury is going to happen, then it’s going to happen. But, whether you learn the right way or not, accidents can happen.” His nephew Jordan Lilley, who currently plays for Seabreeze, suffered a concussion his freshman year. Whether the bad outweighs the good or vice-versa, that is the decision each household has to make when it comes to the game of football. THE COACHES’ PERSPECTIVE
Troy Coke, Seabreeze head coach: I have a little less sympathy for a grown man who makes 10 million dollars a year and knows the risks. I have a best friend who is a coach, and he still struggles with the effects of a bad concussion he had in high school. He has to highlight things to make them stand out, so he can read them. He functions well, but it still bothers him. You’re running into each other, and it’s very physical. But, I think we have to educate the kids and the coaches. We go by “if in doubt, sit ‘em out.” A coach that suspects a kid might have a concussion and puts him back in the game shouldn’t be coaching kids. There are so many things kids can learn from playing football; I hate for fear of injury to keep them out. It’s a tough game to play. You spend so much time practicing versus playing, compared to other sports. I think football teaches kids about preparation and putting in time for the long run. For a lot of kids today, everything is so instantaneous. It’s also the ultimate team game; there’s got to be some selflessness there, and that’s not necessarily natural in Modern American society. I think the good far outweighs the bad, but the bad is bad. We’re talking about a brain, not a pinky toe. Players are bigger, stronger and faster than they were 40 years ago, and I think, especially at the high levels, we are getting to the limits of the human body, as far as how much impact it can take.
If players keep getting bigger, stronger and faster, I don’t think knees and skulls are going to be able to keep up with it. I think coaches have gotten more knowledge on injuries, and I think it’s moving in the right direction. But will we ever remove that aspect of the game? No. Robert Ripley, Matanzas head coach: Football is the ultimate team game. You need every piece to be successful. It’s also the best sport for adversity. How do you handle not being the best and or the biggest? Do you have technique and quickness? What do you do when you get knocked down? It’s hard. It’s not easy. People like easy. People enjoy the things that come natural. This game test all fibers of that. And yes, you get physical in this game. A lot of parents think the sport is too rough. Football is dangerous, because you put on plastic with the intent on hitting other people. So, you will always have that fear of injuries, broken bones and knee injuries. But when played correctly, when played at a speed of no fear, you see a great game. Injuries are never going to go away. With more rule changes and coaches being more attentive to technique and playing the game correctly, we can keep the injuries to a minimum.
Little League players practice a reactionary drill called “Bull in the ring,” where a player in a circle randomly gets hit by a player whose number is called.
DID YOU KNOW? Every year, at least 10 high school football players die during the season. Many of these deaths are due to onfield incidents.
Ormond Pride’s Tyrell Edwards uses a tackling technique that teaches players to place their head across the body, and not forward.

County honors Frank Meeker County Commissioner Frank Meeker died July 22 at the age of 61 after a battle with cancer. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Gathered in front of the dais at the County Commission chambers — where a framed photo of Frank Meeker and a vase of white carnations sat in front of Meeker’s empty seat — Meeker’s friends, colleagues and family members honored his memory Aug. 1, recalling his accomplishments and service to the community. “I want to tell you about the man, because he was my friend,” Palm Coast City Councilman Bill McGuire said. “When I had a tragedy in my own life, he welcomed me into his home. And whenever I wanted someone to talk to, he was always there. ... The measure of a man when you look at his life, when you walk into the man’s home, and you can feel the love that’s there. Not only the love that he has for his family, but the love that they had for him. It reaches you in a place where you need to be reached. And he will always be one of the most influential people

that I’ve ever met. He helped me in my Christian faith, he helped me in my desire to learn, and I’ll miss him. Bye, Frank.” County Commissioner Charlie Ericksen recounted a “hypothetical fantasy phone call” he got from God after Meeker’s death, with God telling Ericksen that Meeker had arrived in heaven and promptly applied for a job, giving Ericksen’s name as a reference. “There is a big problem,” God told the commissioner. “He also says he’s a politician. Charlie, we don’t have a lot of politicians here in heaven. What few we did have here have gone south, if you know what I mean.” But Ericksen assured God that Meeker was “a good man and a great politician,” and God agreed to hire him as “heaven’s environmental services, coastal resources and manatee director.” Commissioner Nate McLaughlin read two poems by Robert Frost, and Commissioner Barbara Revels recalled how often Meeker helped her with environmental and tech issues. Commissioner George
Hanns noted Meeker’s belief in the importance of education, saying that Meeker had convinced him to pursue advanced county commissioner certification through the Florida Association of Counties. Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts, with whom Meeker had worked when Meeker served on the City Council, recalled Meeker’s service to the community. “As a man of faith, I’m sure he prayed,” Netts said. Many people, Netts said, would simply ask God to do something for them. “Frank’s prayer, I’m sure was a little bit different. Frank would say, ‘Lord, give me the strength, give me the wisdom, give me the endurance to help make things better in my community.’ Because he knew that as a part of the community, it was his responsibility along with all of his colleagues,’ to make things better. And Frank did that.” County Administrator Craig Coffey said that at one of their first meetings, “(Meeker) kind of said, ‘Craig, the one thing I ask of you is you don’t treat me like a mushroom.’ I was like, ‘Mushroom? What do you mean by mushroom?’ He said, ‘Craig, you know, keep me in the dark and feed me crap.’ ‘OK,

I think I can handle that.’ Not that anyone could actually do that to him. We definitely were able to put him on a lot of projects, and he was a tremendous help to us.” Meeker’s wife, Debbie, addressed the audience at the end of the presentation. “I’d just like to thank everybody for being here,” she said. “And Craig alluded to the essence of Frank: He was not a politician, even though in our world that’s what you consider it when you’re holding public office. He was just a man doing a job that he loved. ... It was about the citizens. No matter where he worked or what he did, he always liked fighting for the citizens. He loved everybody here that he worked with. He considered you all his team.”

Illegal fireworks are a fire hazard
LET T ERS
PalmCoastObserver.com
THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2016
I know this has lost some of its timeliness from a news point of view. But I hope all can stand just one more letter on the lack of enforcement of fireworks laws, because I believe I have an important life/property safety perspective that needs to be front and center in the discussion. Attached is a picture of an expended “KM136” 3¾’’ long by 9/16” diameter bottle rocket that I found this past weekend in dry leaves that smoldered and partially burned about twenty feet from the structure of my home, in the woods behind my house. I hope you print this picture so that people can see just what a serious piece of ordnance this is. But if you don’t, I need to point out that among the other warnings on it, it states, “THIS ROCKET TRAVELS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND TRAVELS LONG DISTANCES. MISUSE MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR FIRES.” I have nothing against legal fireworks in the right, controlled, supervised settings where life and property are not put at risk. But that clearly was not the case here. I shudder to think of the consequences of what nearly happened, of what potentially could have happened had this ordnance and the dry leaves where it landed not smoldered out. My wife and I were out of town over the July Fourth weekend and no one else was
Pokemon Go poses safety concerns
in our home. Fortunately for us, the neighbors on either side of us, the entire neighborhood — indeed, all of Flagler County — it did burn out without spreading. Visions and smells of the fires of 1998 and a devastated Seminole Woods quickly come to mind. Doesn’t anyone else remember these? No responsible, thinking adult — no matter how much of a thrill it might give kids and adults alike — would allow these to be set off in a residential neighborhood, especially where it would inevitably land in woods or on someone’s roof. I live in a small neighborhood in unincorporated Flagler County, not in a densely populated area of Palm Coast or in Flagler Beach where lack of enforcement of fireworks laws has been blamed on various things. There were no documented calls from my neighborhood about fireworks made to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Next time there are illegal fireworks being set off in my neighborhood, however, they will be called because I promise to call them continuously until I see a continuous, roving patrol in the neighborhood and the fireworks stop. I am confident that the Sheriff’s Office will enforce the law, or at least respond with a presence that will deter those intent on breaking it, because this was way too close — and dangerous — for comfort.
I am commenting on the article “Thank You, ‘Pokemon Go,’ for filling our park with smiles,” by Ms. Emily Blackwood in the Thursday, July 28 edition of the Palm Coast Observer and the Ormond Beach Observer. Though I can appreciate Ms. Blackwood’s excitement about having town people gathering and having fun at Cassen Park in Ormond Beach, I would like to take a moment and address the safety concerns with this new viral activity. I am all for and support good clean fun, though unless one is careful, it can turn ugly quickly. This week, we have had a lot of neighborhood road/ bike traffic with “Pokemon Hunters.” Cars with young kids are either racing down our quiet roads or “suspiciously” driving slowly in what gives an appearance of “casing” our houses. My wife was out walking our dogs just to return to our house and find one of these cars, with four young men inside, blocking our driveway. She was forced to encounter them just to find out that they are out “hunting for their Pokemon.” Not sure how it happened, but it appears we may have a Pokemon stop at our house. Though they drove away, we continue to have local traffic looking for the same stop, which is making our family very nervous. Pokemon hunting should be limited to public areas. I did speak with the Flagler County

Sheriff’s Office, and they told me there is nothing we can do as what they are doing is legal as long as they are not on our property, and we were told that if we are concerned or they come on our property, we should call 911 when the hunters are here. This is very disappointing, and if the Pokemon hunters continue in our community, I am afraid something bad may happen. People quickly forget that only a few weeks ago, a local resident shot at some Pokemon hunters in the middle of the night, thinking they were burglars/home invaders. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but common sense needs to reign. Yes, let’s have fun, but we need to limit activity like this to open public locations like the park noted in the article, and not in our residential communities!! BRIAN ROSEN Palm Coast

A 9-year-old boy was playing Pokemon Go in Ralph Carter Park with his 11-year-old brother July 26 when an older boy attacked the 9-year-old and stole his sneakers, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release. The two brothers had been playing in the park at about 5:40 p.m. The 9-year-old was walking down the sidewalk when “he was approached from behind and slammed down on the sidewalk for no apparent reason by a boy who was riding a bicycle,” according to the news release.
ST#36067
Once the 9-year-old was on the ground, the older boy took the 9-year-old’s Under Armourbrand sneakers off his feet and bicycled away. Deputies found the suspect, a 13-year-old, near the park. The 9-year-old and the 11-year-old identified the 13-year-old as the sneaker robber, and deputies took him into custody and turned him over to the Department of Juvenile Justice. They gave the shoes back to the 9-year-old. The 9-year-old boy had “minor injuries” from the robbery, according to the news release.

BRIEFS Jacksonville teens arrested in Palm Coast car break-ins Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested five Jacksonville teenagers in connection with car break-ins in Palm Coast. The arrests came after a Lakeside Place woman called the Sheriff’s Office at about 11:20 p.m. July 29 and said she was watching someone rummage through her unlocked car, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit. She told the dispatcher that the thief left in a white Dodge Ram. A deputy saw the truck and tried to catch up to it, but the truck’s driver turned off the truck’s lights, and the deputy lost the truck after it turned onto Brownstone Lane. Deputies later found the empty truck on Bronson Lane. It had been stolen in St. Johns County. Hours later, at 3:50 a.m., another woman called the Sheriff’s Office: She saw five young men going from car to car on Bayside Drive, pulling on the car door handles. This time, deputies arrived and saw the suspected thieves, who ran. Deputes caught two teens hiding in the woods near Bayside Drive, and then brought in a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office police dog, plus Volusia County’s Air One helicopter, and caught two more. The four teens had “unclaimed personal items possibly related to the
vehicle burglaries” in their pockets, according to the arrest affidavit. Deputies found three pair of shoes and a gun on the path the teens ran along. Three of the teens were shoeless when they were caught, according to the affidavit. Deputies caught the fifth teen after someone called about a suspicious person — who turned out to be the final suspect — at the Kangaroo gas station on Palm Coast Parkway. One of the young men arrested was a 19-year-old named Jordan Vital. He was charged with grand theft, resisting arrest without violence, and prowling and loitering. The other four teens were underage: a 17-year-old, two 15-year-olds and a 14-year-old. They were charged with grand theft and various misdemeanors. The 17-year-old had the car key for the stolen Dodge Ram.

Gov. Rick Scott reprimands Manfre JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has signed an executive order publicly reprimanding Flagler County Sheriff Jim Manfre for violating Florida ethics laws, and ordering him to pay a $6,200 fine. The public reprimand concludes an Ethics Commission case that began in 2014. The executive order states that Manfre “is hereby publicly censured and reprimanded” for using an agency credit card for personal use and for failing to report a gift in excess of $100. The gift in Manfre’s case was a stay in then-undersheriff Rick Staly’s cabin in Tennessee. (Manfre did ultimately report the cabin stay after realizing after an ethics seminar that it was required, but the Ethics Commission stated that he had not done so properly.) The executive order gives Manfre 30 days to pay the fine. In an emailed statement concerning the executive order, Manfre wrote that he had not violated agency policy or state law. “I ask the citizens of Flagler County to look at my ethics experience and understand that at no time did I ever vio-

MANFRE RESPONDS:
late any agency policy or state law,” he wrote in the statement. “... I never intended to do anything wrong and followed existing practices that were in place when I took office in 2013. As your Sheriff, I do take full responsibility for all of my actions and apologize to each and every citizen of Flagler County.” (View Manfre’s full statement at right.) The Ethics Commission in April voted unanimously after just a six-minute hearing to impose the penalty of a public censure and a fine against Manfre. The commission had earlier rejected a stipulation agreement that would have required Manfre to pay a fine of $1,500 and restitution of $850.50 for using an agency vehicle on a personal trip, instead opting to reopen the investigation. An Ethics Commission advocate in Feb. 2016 recommended a fine of $19,000 over three charges — that Manfre had not properly disclosed the cabin stay as a gift, that he’d used an agency credit card for personal use, and that he’d used an agency car for a personal outof-state trip — but an administrative law judge decided not to pursue the charge concerning the use of the agency car.
This is not a new step, rather one I agreed to and have expected since I resolved this matter. I ask the citizens of Flagler County to look at my ethics experience and understand that at no time did I ever violate any agency policy or state law. In fact, when I was notified of the issues, I immediately enacted strong internal regulations to prevent this from happening to others in the future. As for the violations, one was for $300 spent on sanctioned meals over four events, over six months, three years ago that was immediately reimbursed when the accounting error was discovered. The other was my lodging at my former undersheriff’s cabin. In this case, I was the one who realized there was an issue and self-reported the matter to authorities. I later based my decision to pay the cost of the stay on guidance I received from my attorney. I never intended to do anything wrong and followed existing practices that were in place when I took office in 2013. As your Sheriff, I do take full responsibility for all of my actions and apologize to each and every citizen of Flagler County. I have personally learned a lot from this political setup and inconsistent ethics process and have moved on, as I have never lost focus of my duties and responsibilities. I ask that you move forward with me as we celebrate all of the positive accomplishments that have made over the past three and a half years and look ahead to accomplishing so much more as we keep our community safe and secure for all who live, work and vacation in Flagler County. Sincerely, James L. Manfre, Sheriff of Flagler County

Investigators seize guns, $20,000 in drugs from Palm Coast house
Investigators seized an AR-15 rifle, three handguns and about $20,000 in drugs from a house at 82 Port Royal Drive in Palm Coast the morning of Thursday, July 28. Charges are pending against three of the home’s residents, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release. Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit deputies and Florida Department of Law Enforcement Tri-County Task Force officers searched the home July 28 on a warrant after a narcotics investigation, finding and seizing the four guns, plus almost six pounds of cannabis, about 30 grams of mushrooms and about 60 grams of hash oil with a combined street value of more than $20,000, according to the news release. “I am extremely pleased with the collaborative efforts of the FDLE Tri-County Task Force and our detectives in combating crime in Flagler County,” Sheriff Jim Manfre said in the news release. The Sheriff’s Office has asked anyone with information on crimes in Flagler County to call the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office at 386-313-4911, or Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida at 1-888-277-8477 (TIPS). Crime Stoppers tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
Woman flashed by man on motorcycle while walking dog A woman was walking her dog at about 9 p.m. July 27 when a man flashed his genitalia at her, she told a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy. The man, on a black cruiser motorcycle with no headlight, drove up next to her, then, while rubbing his genitalia, asked the woman if she wanted to make $100. She said no and ran inside her house, then called the Sheriff’s Office. The woman told a deputy that she couldn’t see the man’s face well because he was wearing a full-face motorcycle helmet, but that he looked to be about 20 years old.
Man tries to grope woman in Walmart parking lot
A woman was walking out of the Walmart on Cypress Point Parkway when a man walked up behind her and tried to grab her breasts, she told a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy. The incident happened at about 4:52 p.m. July 27. The woman, a Palm Coast resident, had walked out of the store’s main entrance when a man wearing an “army green” shirt and white board shorts began following her, she told the deputy. The man said, “Can I touch your (profanity),” and the woman “saw hands reaching around her, and turned around and looked at the male,” according to a case report. The woman told the man to get away from her, and another man in a white pickup truck stopped and “deterred the male
from continuing his actions,” according to the report. The woman told a deputy that the man hadn’t actually touched her. He had an accent that sounded Scottish or Irish, she said. She didn’t report the incident until almost 6:30 p.m., telling a deputy that she hadn’t called earlier because she was focused on getting home to let her dogs out. A deputy checked the store’s surveillance video, which showed a man who matched the description the woman had given following the woman out of the store, then trying to reach around her. After the woman turned around, the man appeared to walk toward away a dark colored vehicle. A deputy took a copy of the surveillance video footage as evidence.
Sheriff’s Office releases back-toschool safety tips
Flagler County students return to school on Wednesday, Aug. 10, and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has issued a news release urging motorists, parents and guardians and children to follow these safety tips: 1. Leave a few minutes early to avoid the rush to school. 2. Watch out for children in school zones and streets close to schools. 3. Pay close attention to school buses. Remember, when a school bus stops and turns on its flashing lights and extends it signs, you must also stop unless there is an unpaved median of at least five feet, a raised median, or a physical barrier separating your vehicle from the stopped school bus.
4. Ensure everyone in your vehicle is properly secured in either an approved car seat or safety belt. 5. Always slow down through school zones. Pay close attention to the crossing guards at those intersections. Some crossing times may vary. 6. Children should always be instructed to catch the eye and attention of the bus driver when walking in front of the school bus. A good rule to follow: Be at least 10 feet in front of the bus when crossing. 7. Establish one or more safe routes for your child to take to the bus stop/school. Instruct your child not to use short cuts unless you know the route is safe. 8. Teach your child to always use the crosswalks and obey all traffic signals. 9. If possible, arrange for a group to walk with your child to school. 10. Remind children to stay in well-lit areas and to walk in the middle of the sidewalk. 11. Develop a secret password for you to use with your children in the event of an emergency where you cannot pick them up from school or another location. This password should never be shared with anyone other than you and your child. 12. Talk to your child and let them know anyone can be a stranger. Strangers are not always dressed in dark or dirty clothing. Strangers are anyone they don’t know. Tell your child to never speak to a stranger and if a stranger asks your child a question, your child should be instructed to say in a loud voice “I cannot talk
to you” and immediately find a trusted adult, school official, crossing guard, or law enforcement officer. 12. Immediately report all suspicious activity to 911. 12. Everyone is urged to learn who is living near them. Visit fdle.state.fl.us to view information on every sexual offender and predator in Flagler County. Your search can be refined to your ZIP code area, or even a five-mile radius of your home. Deputies will be also monitoring school zones and nearby areas during the initial weeks of class to remind drivers to slow down, according to the news release. Driving citation amounts can range from $116 for a non-moving violation to $166 for a moving violation. Speeding fines start at $156, and can exceed $606 for speeding through a school zone. Failing to stop for a school bus is a $271 citation, and passing a school bus is $371.

Sheltering Tree’s Carla Traister wins Outstanding Community Leadership Award Sheltering Tree’s director and founder Carla Traister has been named the 2016 Northeast Florida Community Action Agency’s “Outstanding Community Leadership Award” winner, according to a Flagler County government news release. Flagler County Human Resources Director Joe Mayer, a board member of the agency, nominated Traister. “We have some wonderful people in our community, and Carla Traister is among them,” Mayer said in the news release. “One of the highlights of being part of the Northeast Florida Community Action Agency is having the opportunity to let others know about the warmth and dedication of Flagler County residents.” Traister and the Flagler County Family Assistance Center formed The Sheltering Tree as a non-denominational civic organization created more than 5 years ago to provide coldweather sheltering when the temperatures dip below 40 degrees. It has been open between 9 and 40 times per year since it
Florida Elections Commission closed complaints as ‘legally insufficient’
The Florida Elections Commission has notified Flagler County officials that three identical complaints against County Attorney Al Hadeed, County Administrator Craig Coffey and the entire County Commission were deemed “legally insufficient” and closed without the need for a hearing, according to a Flagler County government news release. “On June 29, 2016, the Florida Elections Commission notified Dennis McDonald that the complaint he filed on March 17, 2016 was legally insufficient,” Elections Commission Executive Director Amy McKeever Toman wrote, according to the news release. McDonald had two weeks from the date the letter was sent to him to give the commission additional information. “Since the Commission did not receive any additional information that corrected the stated grounds of insufficiency, this case is closed,” McKeever Toman concluded in her statement to the county. McKeever Toman’s three letters of dismissal were identical. McKeever Toman wrote to McDonald, “Your allegation suggests a misreading of the statute,” regarding the assertion that the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners, through Coffey and with the advice of Hadeed had no right to request that the Florida Secretary of State observe and examine the county’s November 2014 election.
“In fact, Section 101.58, Florida Statutes, authorizes the Secretary to act either in response to a petition from voters or from one of the listed entities or ‘at any time it deems fit.’ Certainly, the Secretary may deem it fit to act in response to a letter from any number of individuals or entities, including a county government or its administrator.” McDonald had also alleged that the request was an “outrageous and not defensible” effort to trigger the secretary’s authority, because two commissioners were up for re-election, according to the news release. “It is unclear why or how requesting that the state’s chief elections officer to monitor an election gives any candidate, incumbent or otherwise, an unfair advantage or otherwise interferes with or influences the election,” McKeever Toman continued to McDonald. McKeever Toman’s letter concluded: “Please note that this exact issue has previously been determined to be legally insufficient and, likewise, I find this complaint to be legally insufficient.” McDonald, former County Commission candidate Mark Richter and former elections supervisor Kimberle Weeks — who is herself now charged with multiple felony counts — alleged previously that the county lacked authority to request observers for the 2014 Elections. The Florida Elections Commission and the Florida Commission on Ethics dismissed those allegations. Hadeed recently spoke at the statewide Florida Association of Counties Annual Conference,

before about 170 attorneys, about defending the county from complaints filed in order to disrupt the workings of local government, according to the news release. “It’s gratifying to put another group of complaints behind us,” Hadeed said in the news release. “This enables us to focus on what’s really important for the citizens - getting the daily work of the county accomplished and moving Flagler forward.”

opened at the First United Methodist Church in Bunnell. “It was a simple gesture that opened the eyes and hearts of many to help others,” Mayer wrote in the application. “One sleeping bag was left for a homeless person who had been using a piece of cardboard to lay his head. Since that moment, thousands of homeless folks have been cared for the warm hearts of many people.” The Sheltering Tree facility is open to those who have no place to sleep, inadequate heat or need shelter from the harsh weather, according to the news release. The Sheltering Tree Program also serves meals, distributes clothing and provides “grace bags” filled with toiletries. When temperatures drop, it can accommodate up to 35 people between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., according to the news release. Traister is not the first from Flagler County to be named an Outstanding Community Leadership Award winner. Pastor Charles Silano received the award in 2015. He founded Grace Tabernacle Ministries, which operates the Grace Community Food Pantry. Other community contributions include: Access Flagler First, which provides a variety of social services once every other month; and, a faith-based, jail diversion and addiction-recovery program called Open Door Recovery. “It’s a testament to Flagler County and the people who live here that we have back-to-back recipients,” Commission Chair Barbara Revels said in the news release. “We may be a small county, but we have a big heart.”

Daytona State College student reports robbery at Linear Park
bery happened at about 5 p.m. Three men approached the student wearing black clothes, black masks and black gloves, the student told a deputy, according to a Sheriff’s Office case report. One of the masked men punched the student in the eye, knocking him to the ground. Then all three started kicking him and demanding money, he said. He gave them a $20 bill, and they left. The student didn’t report the robbery until 9:49 p.m. He told a deputy that he hadn’t wanted to report it at all, and only did so at the urging of a Palm Coast resident whose home he was staying at when deputies interviewed him about the incident. A deputy wrote in a case report that the student’s eye was bruised, with a laceration beneath it, and that one of the lenses had been knocked out of his glasses. The student refused to complete a written statement, but did fill out some information at the top of the statement form, according to the deputy’s report.
A Daytona State College student was hanging out at the benches near Greenway Court at Linear Park July 27 before a class when he was beaten and robbed by three masked men, he told Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies. The student, a 19-year-old Palatka resident, said the rob-

The Palm Coast Rowing Club won three medals at its very first regatta competition.
JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR
L
ess than a year ago, the Palm Coast Rowing Club was seeking a home to keep its boats in. As of this past weekend, it is now seeking a home to keep its new medals in. Rowers participated in their first competition — the Halifax Regatta — and medaled in three (two golds and a silver) of the four events they entered. “PCRC has come such a long way,” said Anne Lunsford, the club’s owner. “We’ve found a home, thanks to Jim Landon and the city of Palm Coast, and watching this team perform at our first regatta with such great coaching and intense personal dedication has made my heart swell with pride.” The rowing club has moved to the Palm Harbor Golf Course, across from the clubhouse.
Having tasted early success, the club plans to compete in another regatta in October, and in the Head of the Giblet Regatta in Orlando in November. “I am very proud of my crew,” coach Patricia Redman said. “They are an amazing bunch who push themselves and work hard with the goal of being excellent at rowing and winning. I think we are really going to shine come October and November. We all have busy schedules and lives to manage, so we don’t like to waste a practice. And we pour it all out on the water.” The club will be holding a golf tournament as a fundraiser to help out with equipment repairs on Saturday, Nov. 5, at the club’s new home at the Palm Harbor Golf Course. Those interested in trying the sport or joining the Palm Coast Rowing Club can call Redman at 214-0402 or visit the club’s Facebook page.

he first line of business — or swimming lessons — with my good friend Ron Calugar began with him sending all of his family away from the house. They were not going to get a day’s worth of laughter out of my aquatic failures, which kicked off at the very beginning of my lesson. I followed Ron’s lead in jumping into the water, as opposed to easing myself into the chilly area, but I didn’t know I had jumped into the deep end. (Glub glub glub glub glub … this was the sound of me drowning.) I bet Ron didn’t think he’d have to save my life within the first 10 seconds of teaching me how to swim. I wanted to end the lesson right there, but I doubt Ron would’ve allowed it, and I’m glad he didn’t. So first, he tried to teach me how to move my hands back and forth to stay afloat. That didn’t work. I could only move them in fast, panic motions, which seemed to only take me down faster. Then he tried to get my legs into the action. Didn’t work either. Kicking my legs was as meaningless as holding my breath to avoid water getting in my nose. I had to drain my nose at least 20 times in the few hours I was there. That never felt pleasant. After an hour and a half of failing at nearly everything, Ron finally taught me how to float on my back while blowing up my lungs, and we found success! Ron’s ultimate goal was to teach me how to survive, and he had achieved what I thought was impossible. Many others had previously attempted to teach me how to swim, but their attempts only proved futile. The following day, I returned to Ron’s house, and I even took my nephew along and allowed Ron’s son Zion to swim as I continued to learn. I spent the entire time in the pool in the deep area, and I actually enjoyed myself. History was made. The pool experience will never be the same for me anymore. Though I still have some learning to do, I’m well pleased with Ron teaching me the things I do know, and I can’t wait to get back into the water — the deep end.

games, and my best friend’s little brother Will Cowles is now on the team. So I continue to keep up with the team. What did you think of them beating FPC for the first time and going 8-2? WHITE: I thought it was great for the community. The FPC-Matanzas game can now be known as a rivalry, with both teams now having a win. The game will also have much more significance. And as for the 8-2 season, it’s wonderful for Matanzas, but now they have to continue to work to build on that. I had an opportunity to watch them work out this summer, and those guys are pushing themselves and each other. They must continue to not get complacent but strive to become better. DAWSEY:

starting?
SHAWN WHITE: Yes, it is. But I still
have to hold the position throughout camp this summer going into the first game.
How different is it playing football for the military than playing for a regular college? WHITE: The experience off the field is very different. When it comes to football, players are student-athletes. In the Navy, we are military student-athletes. Not only are we taking calculus and chemistry, DAWSEY:
but we take leadership and swim classes. We have military obligations as well as school obligations. While service academies aren’t necessarily harder time than other schools, the experience is definitely a much different one. DAWSEY: Do your mornings begin
with football or military activities? WHITE: Most mornings start off with a formation. The school is
broken into 30 companies, and each of those companies hold a formation in their spaces at 7 a.m. At these formations, we stand at attention and get accountability to ensure that everyone’s where they should be. Uniform and room inspections also take place during that time. After formation, the daily announcements are passed, as well as any important functions for the day. DAWSEY: What are some of the best lessons you’ve learned as a Navy football player? WHITE: Selflessness. Every day, I’m surrounded by guys who are willing to sacrifice everything and anything for each other. I’ve learned the meaning of brotherhood. I have met some of my best friends on the team, and we have been through some great times and tough times together. But we always take care of each other. DAWSEY: Have you kept up with Matanzas football since you left? WHITE: Yes, I have. My mother has continued to go to some of the

And as for the team, we are looking forward to doing what we do best: play hard-nosed football and get after it as best as we can.

The team of Gerald Fauntleroy, Harry Davis and Davis’ granddaughter Kobi Wynne shot an astounding -17 below par (55) – a new tournament record — to win the 25th-annual African American Cultural Society Golf Tournament at the Pine Lakes Golf Club. The record-scoring round featured two eagles, 13 birdies and three pars. They beat the field by 11 strokes ahead of the second-place team. “We made almost every putt we looked at, and stuck it in so close on many of the holes that we only had tap-ins for the birdies,” Fauntleroy said.

n response to the recent shootings of law enforcement officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, retired Marine Col. Jack D. Howell II announced the expansion of the Teens-In-Flight program to include teenagers of law enforcement families. The program was previously restricted to teenagers from military families. “I am very close to law enforcement, and after the police officers were shot, I thought, ‘I’ve got to include these kids,’” said Howell, the program’s founder. “This is a national program, and I can do that.

iFlagler – What is it, and who are the students? Two students explain how the virtual school program works for them. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR
S

Attending the iFlagler virtual school allows students, like rodeo rider Heather McLaughlin, the opportunity to travel the country and go to school at the same time.
ix years ago, in the 20102011 year, a new opportunity opened up for Flagler County students: iFlagler virtual learning. The program was recently named “Small District Franchise of the Year” by Florida Virtual Schools. “By state law, we have to offer a virtual program,” iFlagler Assistant Principal Erin Quinn said. “There are other (online) vendors, but we have a great partnership with Florida Virtual Schools.” The biggest advantage of iFlagler over other virtual schools offered is the opportunity for students to be able to meet their teachers faceto-face when necessary. “Our teachers are local teachers, employed through Flagler Schools,” Quinn said. Quinn knows first-hand the benefits of being able to go to school online. She just received her Master’s degree — online. Last year, there were more than 4,000 half-credit enrollments, and an estimated 3,000 students, in the program. Who are the students who choose a virtual school over a traditional learning environment? “Some are part-time virtual students, attending some classes at one of the traditional schools, or college dual enrollment,” Quinn
said. “The program can also be used for credit recovery, where a student earned a D or F in their regular class and are retaking the course to raise their grades, and students with medical issues.” All students are required to take one or two courses online as part of their graduation requirements. “It makes them better prepared for what will be expected of them in college,” Quinn said. “They still have to be motivated. It’s still a six- to seven-hour school day. This is not an easy way out of school work.” Safeguards have been put in place, including the monitoring of Facebook and Twitter, to ensure students don’t pay someone else to do their work. When it comes time for standardized or end-ofcourse exams, the student comes into the school. These students aren’t isolated from their classmates if they don’t want to be. They can take electives in school, and participate in sports and other extracurricular activities. And when graduation day comes, they will walk the stage with their class.

competition during her Palm Coast Observer interview. Heather is in the top four from Florida, and ranks second in goat tying. “We are on the road three weekends a month during the school year, sometimes four,” said her mother, Holly Mello. “We would have to leave on Friday morning to get to rodeo, and she would miss school, and we would get back, sometimes as late as 2 a.m. Monday morning, and with only a couple of hours of sleep, Heather would head off to school.” While Heather was in Wyoming with her dad, Pete, Mello was at a barrel competition in Perry, Georgia, with their 10-year-old daughter Erin. The week before, the entire family had been in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Mello wants Erin to stay in a traditional school environment at least until the seventh grade, but expects Erin to eventually become an iFlagler student as well. “Had I realized they had this program earlier, Heather would have been in it for middle school,” Mello said. “This program has been a blessing for us. Heather is finishing her first year of online schooling, and has learned the importance of keeping up her studies and effectively balancing her rodeo and studying schedule. “I’ll be honest, I got behind toward the end of the year. It sneaks up on you,” Heather said. “My advice to students coming into the program is when you think you are ahead , do even more to stay ahead.” As she heads into her second year, Heather said she will be getting as much done ahead of schedule as possible, so when her rodeo schedule gets busier at the

end of the season, she will have her school work under control. “This year was a learning experience on scheduling,” Mello said. “They are not limited to stay on the traditional school schedule — they can get weeks ahead.” Heather’s typical day involves getting up at 6:30 a.m., exercising her horse, breakfast, school until 5 p.m., and then more practice with her animals. “It can get frustrating sometimes, but it’s all good,” Heather said. “The amount of practice I can get in when all my work is done, it’s amazing. The teachers are amazing. I can call them anytime, not too late at night of course, and they’re not too busy to talk.” THE SKYE’S THE LIMIT
Skye Smith has been an iFlagler student for the past six years. The rising junior admits that she was more interested in being the class clown, and had trouble focusing in a traditional class setting. “Now I am not focused on making friends or fitting in,” Skye said. “My grades are better, and I am enjoying learning more in this environment.” Skye has found that she is more productive and can learn better on her own schedule. She may not get up until 10 or 11 in the morning, but she works later into the evening. “After six years, we have found she works better at night,” her mother Martha Smith said. While her mom sets the schedule, Skye is responsible for getting her work done, and for meeting deadlines. Skye wanted to return to FPC this year, but mom vetoed it. Her grades are mostly As, and Smith

wanted to keep her in the program because of her progress. Skye has met a couple of her fellow iFlagler “classmates,” and is a certified teacher for the Good News Club, an interdenominational after school Christian program for 5- to 12-year-old children. “We have a discussion board (for iFlagler). They like us to talk to each other so we don’t become hermits,” Skye laughed. “We have a mandatory collaboration project for each class, each semester. We email back and forth, and then submit as one project together.”
She is enrolling at Daytona State College, and will pursue her associate’s degree while in high school. Like most dual enrollment students, she will graduate with her AA degree before she walks the stage with the FPC Class of 2018 for her high school diploma. She has her sights set on attending the University of Florida to complete her bachelor’s degree, but hasn’t decided where she will go for her masters. “I want to major in marine biology or zoology,” Skye said. “I haven’t decided whether I want to be on land or the water.”

I gasped when the dog rolled out of the golf cart
JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR
New hot car laws need to be followed to the letter.
I
am often asked, “Where do you get the ideas for your column?” This past Saturday, I’m sorry to say, the idea rolled out of a golf cart and onto the road in front of me. First: This was not in Flagler. It was on John Anderson Drive in Ormond-by-the-Sea. I was on my way to a 5K at 7:15 in the morning, headed north, toward Highbridge Road. I first noticed the woman traveling south in the golf cart because she had two large dogs. One was tethered to the passenger side of the cart and running by the back tire, trying to keep up. Just as I was thinking that was not a wise way to walk a dog, and considering how the lead could easily get tangled in the wheel, the woman made a sharp left onto a side street. The dog sitting inside the golf cart rolled out onto the pavement. Before anything could be done or said, the woman pulled the lead and the dog was back in the cart, and she continued on.
This is one of those times where, yes, I wanted to give her a piece of my mind. But chasing down people is not a good idea these days. It was Saturday — no animal control — and it was doubtful the Sheriff’s Office would respond, even if I had her address. The tag was obstructed, so I couldn’t get that. There aren’t laws for everything you shouldn’t do, nor should there be. But how sad, when a pet owner thinks so little of their animals as to endanger them in that way. Please, walk your dogs, watch out for them, and if you have them in a golf cart or an open vehicle, make sure they are secured. HOT CAR LAWS
A reader asked me about my statement last week about it being against the law to leave an animal in a car in Florida. He was right: There is no law in Florida. A bill was proposed last August that would make it a misdemeanor to leave an animal in a car in Florida. Sadly, this law died in March. Let your representatives know that this is not acceptable. Another state bill to help animals, children and vulnerable people was passed in March 2016. This bill grants civil immunity for damage to a vehicle for a person who “enters a motor vehicle, by force or otherwise, for the purpose of removing a vulnerable person or domestic animals.”
“THE GRANADA GUARANTEE...” ntee · peace
In honor of the Olympic Games, Halifax Humane Society is offering the “Take Home a Champion” adoption promotion through Sunday, Aug. 7. All dogs over 35 pounds will have their adoption fee reduced by 50%. Animals adopted from HHS are spayed or neutered, have up-to-date vaccines, have been heart-worm tested, and are microchipped, included in the adoption cost.

Before you start smashing car windows, there are conditions. First, you must call 9-1-1, use no more force than is reasonably necessary (check to see if the door is unlocked), and stay with the person or animal in a safe location near the vehicle until law enforcement arrives. The rescuer also needs “reasonable belief, based upon the known circumstance, that entering the vehicle is necessary because the vulnerable person or domestic animal is in imminent danger of suffering harm.” Do not put yourself in danger. The 9-1-1 dispatcher may ask for the plate number, but if not, give it to them when you call. That way, if the owner returns before police arrive and takes the dog or person, the police can still find them.

Plantation Bay 5K exceeds expectations before the race begins
Nika Hosseini and her cousin, and volunteer coordinator for the 5K, Ida Babazadeh
get some exercise. The event was family-oriented. Parents with children in strollers, and running along with them, joined the casual walkers and weekend runners at Club de Bonmont. Hosseini’s family had also been drafted as volunteers, including her mom, Forough Hosseini, who was obviously proud of her daughter. “She’s trying to change the world in her own way,” Forough Hosseini said.
The Strides for Water 5K at Plantation Bay drew a crowd.
Money raised through the 5K will help provide clean water to Kiburara, Uganda.

he idea was to organize a 5K during her break between college and law school, and hopefully get 80 people to sign up and raise maybe $10,000 for Project Splash, a water purification system for a village in Uganda. By 8 a.m., Plantation Bay resident Nika Hosseini realized she wasn’t

LeRoy “Roy” Runge Gilbert LeRoy “Roy” Runge Gilbert, 87, of Palm Coast, Florida passed away at home in his sleep on July 20, 2016. Roy was born on Aug 17, 1928 in Sanford, Florida to Gertrude and Marvin Gilbert. He graduated from Seminole High School and received a bachelor’s degree in Education from University of Florida in 1953. Roy found purpose in campus politics and student government and was selected as a member of Florida Blue Key and the UF Hall of Fame. After college, Roy pursued a career in education and moved to Oregon to teach at the MacLaren Reform School for Boys. The next year he returned to Orlando to teach Sociology and History at Memorial High School, and was among the first group of teachers to inaugurate Robert E. Lee Jr. High School in 1956. Roy procured the cannon which remains the centerpiece of the Lee Middle School courtyard today.
Roy was an avid fisherman and duck hunter throughout the beaches and backwoods of Florida. An accomplished horticulturist, Roy raised the largest private camellia garden in the state of Florida, including many rare specialized breeds. He loved animals and over the years he housed dogs, cats, turtles, and one crow which he raised from a hatchling. A true salesman, Roy could talk to anyone and put them at ease with his sense of humor and ability to tell a story. He could quote at length from Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and the Bible, much to the amusement of his children. He is survived by his beloved wife of 33 years, Carolyn Adams Gilbert; children, Sally Gilbert Abel (Richard) Orlando, FL; Cindy Gilbert Backus (Clark) Leesburg, VA; Roy Gilbert Jr., Los Altos, CA; and stepdaughter Callie DeHaven, Fernandina Beach, FL. He leaves behind grandchildren Taylor, Sara, Elizabeth, Kyle, William, and Campbell; Cousin Dorothy Runge; and his dog Raggs. He was predeceased by his beloved first wife of 28 years, Joyce Wetherell Gilbert, in 1983. Donations can be made to the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. Memorial services will be held Saturday, Aug 6 at Evergreen Cemetery in Sanford. Arrangements are under the care and direction of Hardage-Giddens Funeral Home of Mandarin, 11801 San Jose Blvd. Jacksonville, FL 32223. www.hgmandarin.com (904) 288-0025.
