PRESERVED

An extreme Spartan Race was planned for Princess Place Preserve, but the county canceled it — sacrificing the economic windfall — after intense resident opposition.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

About 110 people packed a classroom at the Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club Friday, Aug. 21, voting overwhelmingly to have the newly formed Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club Advisory Committee raise money to lease the facility from the School Board and operate it itself.

If they can’t do it and there are no other viable bids, the School Board will close the facility, which operates at a deficit, this coming month.

The Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, donated to the School Board in 1996, made $138,000 in revenue last year, but required $352,000 in operating costs. The School Board says it can’t afford to keep it, and at its most recent meeting, agreed to advertise a Request for Proposal for another entity to take it over.

The Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club Advisory Committee, formed last week by clubgoers and led by resident Doug Courtney — who worked for Palm Coast’s founding administration as a city clerk — called Friday’s meeting, and wants to be that entity.

To do that, Courtney told the crowd at the Friday meeting, “We SEE KEEPING PAGE 5

Imagine an extreme race at Princess Place Preserve: 6,000 runners scaling walls and jumping over fire in an 8-mile course.

Imagine giving a company — Spartan Race — full and unimpeded access to tear up this county-owned land, which was purchased with taxpayer dollars designed to preserve it as environmentally sensitive land forever. Now, imagine tax dollars being spent to subsidize such an event.

None of that will happen.

According to some, it was a major victory for the residents of the community, and a major victory for Princess Place. According to the county administration, it was a missed opportunity and was the result of a major misunderstanding.

THE USUAL PROCESS

Matt Dunn was hired in January 2014 to help attract events — group business — to Flagler County. Because of the money that tourists bring with them, it’s a competitive industry for the venues.

“These organizations have a tremendous amount of options,” Dunn said in an interview on Aug. 24. “I’m going to a conference tomorrow where 500 destinations will be there.”

Once Dunn recruits an event and gets a verbal commitment, he then analyzes the projected financial benefit and presents the information to the Tourist Development Council. The TDC comprises nine members — some elected officials and some appointed residents — who review the proposal and make a recommendation to the Flagler

WHY DID SPARTAN OPEN REGISTRATION WITHOUT A SIGNED CONTRACT? Throughout the weekend, and even days after the county’s announcement of the cancellation, visitors to Spartan.com could still register for the race at Princess Place. “It is common practice for them to open up registration before a contract is done,” said Matt Dunn, Flagler County tourism chief. “In some cases they want to test the market.” In an email to county administration July 22, Dunn said that he had told Spartan that the race was subject to both TDC and County Commission approval.

County Board of County Commissioners for funding. The County Commission, in a public meeting, can then vote to approve the spending.

During this process, Dunn works with the event planners and the county attorney to create a contract that will be acceptable to all parties. He is not authorized to sign any contracts until both the attorney approves it, and the County Commission approves it.

In the case of the Spartan Race, Dunn said, “there was no deviation from the pattern, the process that we’re supposed to follow.”

On Aug. 19, FlaglerLive.com published a story on the TDC presentation regarding Spartan Race.

The story included the draft contract with the county, in which Spartan Race acknowledges that the event “may cause substantial wear and tear.”

By its nature, Princess Place Preserve was created to be protected from such wear and tear, and many residents contacted county commissioners to express their concern for what they considered to be an abuse of the preserve, the management plan

Three trucks need replacing, two ‘immediately,’ according to city staff.

Two men are in critical condition after a fight that began in the Bsection and ended with a stabbing Monday night outside the Pizza Hut near Publix on Palm Coast Parkway. The Sheriff’s Office got a call about a possible stabbing at 9:36 p.m., according to a Sheriff’s Office news release, and deputies arrived at the rear parking lot of the Pizza Hut and found Raymond Glass, 21, stabbed in the abdomen. Rescuers took him to Halifax Hospital. Detectives gathered information, and found the suspect, 42-year-old Larkland A. Harris Jr., on Braddock Lane at about 9:58 p.m. Harris had a stab wound to the abdomen from earlier the same night. Rescuers took him to Halifax Hospital. Harris has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm. Detectives expect that Glass will be charged in the incident as well, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast needs replacement fire trucks — three of them — and it needs two of them “immediately,” according to a staff report.

There was money in this year’s budget, but only $50,000 for a down payment on a single truck.

As city staff began looking into replacing one worn out, 31-yearold truck, City Fire Chief Mike Beadle told City Council members at a City Council meeting Aug. 25, they realized they also needed to replace two others. One is 29 years old, the other 30, and both are “mechanically unfit,” he said.

“We can’t do a lot with $50,000, but we brought it to you and you can offer us some options,” he told the council members. Those options include: maintaining a reduced fleet for six years until all of the engines are replaced, leasing trucks or buying used ones, piggybacking a new truck price from trucks in St. Johns County, bidding a new truck to compare the price with piggyback pricing, and buying a truck or trucks on a commercial truck chassis, rather than one custom built as a fire truck.

There are problems with the first three options, Beadle said. Keeping a reduced fleet, he said, “would hamper us with our backup capability for the front line.” If the city leases or buys used, Beadle said, “The concern with that is, what are we buying? And are we buying somebody else’s problems?”

As for piggybacking on a price from St. Johns, Beadle said, that wouldn’t be ideal because the St. Johns trucks include equipment the city wouldn’t need.

So the city put a bid out for the exact kind of truck it would need, and prices came in from five manufacturers, varying between $424,301 and $472,921.

But the city could get lower prices if it bought trucks with a commercial chassis — built for highway hauling — instead of a fire truck chassis. If it did that, Beadle said, it could buy two Rosenbauer commercial chassis pumpers for a total of $465,184 in the 2015-2016 fiscal year, and another pumper for $225,184 the following year. The city could then return to its regular maintenance and replacement schedule in 2017-2018. That’s the solution city staff favors.

Mayor Jon Netts said most of the calls city fire rescue staff go on are medical calls, not fire-related calls. But the city can’t buy ambulances instead of fire trucks because it would need a certificate of need from the county to run ambulances, and “the county is adamant that they will not issue a certificate of need for the city of Palm Coast, for transport,” he said.

“This is not something that we’re going to solve today; it’s not going to solve our backup and replacement issues,” Netts said.

“But this is a topic of conversation that has to be addressed to improve efficiencies within Flagler County.”

of which states the following: “Outdoor recreational facilities including nature trails ... shall be developed in a manner that allows the general public reasonable access for observation and appreciation of the natural resources on the Project Site without causing harm to those resources.”

Still, County Commissioner Barbara Revels said that when she goes to Princess Places she finds the place mostly empty, so she wasn’t aware that so many people were so passionate about it. “I don’t think anybody in the county realized how much community backlash would have come out of it,” she said. “I think it’s wonderful that we had that kind of response.”

Pierre Tristam, editor of FlaglerLive.com, wrote the initial story on Spartan Race, and was the starting point for the discussion in the community.

Tristam said it was one of two stories that he could remember having an impact of this magnitude in Flagler County. He said it built momentum in part because of a Facebook page created

by Kendall St. Jacques, which quickly gained more than 1,000 followers, all hoping to stop the event from being held at Princess Place.

Tristam said his story also attracted the attention of Audubon and the Florida Wildlife Federation.

When asked if he was aware of any Spartan Race opposition that did not originally stem from the FlaglerLive.com article, Dunn responded, “None.”

As a result of the public outcry online and in a flurry of emails and phone calls to the county commissioners over the weekend, the county took the unusual step of announcing — before any public discussion at a County Commission meeting — that the deal with Spartan Race was going to be canceled before it ever came to be.

Princess Place is divided like a checkerboard by roads like this, which mark off areas for controlled burns far from the lodge. According to county administration, the race could have been held on these roads without causing unreparable harm. Matt Dunn also said in an email that Spartan agreed to give the county the ultimate sign-off on efforts to restore the land.

experience, and it wouldn’t be able to avoid delivering the obstacles.

WHAT’S NEXT?

This owl, photographed by Steven Sobel (stevensobelphotography.com) might not approve of an extreme race in Princess Place.

There will be no extreme obstacle race at Princess Place.

WHY PRINCESS PLACE?

In Revels’ view, although the event approval process appeared rushed, the end result was proper. “The administration erred on the side of caution, to say, ‘Let’s just back out of this right now, so we can put everybody’s mind at ease,’” she said. Referring to County Administrator Craig Coffey, she added, “If I was in Craig’s shoes, I would have done exactly the same thing.”

Because Dunn is new in the community, she said, it’s likely that no one explained the restrictions on Princess Place to him.

However, Coffey and Dunn agreed from the beginning that there could be a way to make Princess Place work for the race, despite its environmental restrictions and management plan. In fact, it would be quite an achievement to lure to Flagler County an event that was designed for the Jacksonville market.

“We don’t have a lot of facilities,” Dunn said. “So we’re being as creative as possible to bring in as much as possible.”

In the past, Princess Place has

MATT DUNN’S BUSINESS? Amid the online activity surrounding the Spartan Race, some have discovered for the first time that Flagler County tourism chief Matt Dunn came to the county with prior business interests in sports events management. Earlier this year, he renewed The Dunn Agency LLC with the state. Any conflict of interest? In an interview with the Observer, Dunn said he started the LLC in 2009 and worked for himself full time for about two years before joining the tourism staff. “Since I have accepted the job, I have done absolutely nothing with the LLC,” he said. “From an operational standpoint, it has been completely inactive. But I have maintained the filing on it, and I’ve done so for personal reasons involving taxes.”

He added: “In no way, shape or form is there any kickback or commission or any nonsense like that from any organization.” County Commissioner Barbara Revels said the county was aware of it at the time of Dunn’s hiring. “It was part of the agreement that he could not do anything that was a conflict of interest with the county.”

hosted large events, including orienteering events, high school cross country races, a Native American festival, and the annual Creekside Festival. None of those events have seemed out of harmony with Princess Place, Dunn suggested, so why not consider the venue for Spartan Race?

At the most recent Creekside Festival, Princess Place hosted 12,000 visitors — far more than the projected total traffic for Spartan Race. But because Creekside was spread over two days, there were never more than about 1,000 vehicles parked at Princess Place at one time, Coffey said.

Spartan Race could draw 3,000 cars at once.

To solve that problem, Coffey suggested parking about 2,000 cars at the Florida Agricultural Museum. The course of the race could stretch between the museum and Princess Place.

WHAT ABOUT OBSTACLES?

Spartan Race is famous for mud pits and climbing walls and fire obstacles. In his story on FlaglerLive.com, Pierre Tristam writes that Spartan creates “artificial obstacles that radically alter the landscape.”

But according to County Administrator Craig Coffey, the draft contract that Dunn presented to the TDC was just that — a draft. It was written by Spartan Race without any input from the county and, according to Dunn is only the starting point for negotiations.

“There was never a signed contract with Spartan Race,” Coffey said. “It was written in their favor, but we get hundreds of those contracts written in favor of other events, and we wind up changing them all the time.”

In that way, it’s premature to conclude that the race would cause “substantial wear and tear” or include “obstacles that would radically alter the landscape” or in

any way do environmental damage to the preserve, Coffey said.

There are already 29 miles of trails that are used for fire lines, he said. “We run bulldozers on those fire lines,” he said. “Is that going to be worse than runners?”

Another obstacle that is promoted in some Spartan Race videos is a fire jump. Coffey said, “It’s like jumping over a little campfire of coals,” adding that it’s not more extreme than activity that already takes place at Princess Place. “We have campfires all the time with our campers,” he said.

And the Spartan Race organizers were in agreement with the ways the county had suggested to minimize wear and tear with obstacles, according to Dunn.

“We were going to move to a Founders Race format,” Dunn said. “Under that format, the obstacles are less intrusive. It would have been OK.” Among the obstacles would be a hay-bale maze. Another would involve filling up a bucket of sand and carrying it for a quarter mile, then dumping it back into the same pile of sand.

“There was never a time where we would agree to digging mud pits or anything of that nature whatsoever,” Dunn said. “ … I want to stress that at no time was there ever a discussion about anything that would be against the environmental plan for Princess Place, and Spartan Race knew that from the beginning.”

He added: “We were never going to be anywhere near the lodge. That was something that was discussed face to face.”

The details of the obstacles were not finalized before the race was canceled. In a later interview with the Palm Coast Observer, however, Tristam dismissed the county’s attempts to mitigate the obstacles as “spin.”

Princess Place and a Spartan Race “are simply incompatible,” he said. Spartan Race’s brand is based on providing an extreme

Dunn’s presentation to the TDC predicted that the Spartan Race would deliver an economic impact of $3.9 million to the county. With about 6,000 runners and 2,000 spectators staying an average of 2.4 days, a lot of money is spent.

In addition, Spartan Race has a budget to purchase building supplies locally and to hire local groups, such as sports teams or Boy Scouts, to work at the race.

He used those numbers to justify giving Spartan Race a $25,000 incentive to host the event at Princess Place.

That economic impact will not come to Flagler County because, while it’s possible Spartan Race could agree to a different venue in the county, the company is opening up the bids to anywhere in the Jacksonville area, and it’s likely that it could end up outside of the county.

To Tristam, the cancellation is good news. If a Spartan Race is held on preserved land in Flagler County, he said, much is at stake: “The image of your county and your environmental legacy is going to be corrupted because, ‘Well, yes, in Flagler County they do have these (protected lands), but they also have these allowances which make you wonder if they really believe in these preserves.’”

The Florida Wildlife Federation issued a statement echoing Tristam’s view: “We are pleased to see the county respond so swiftly to the community’s outrage over the idea of holding this massive event at Princess Place. They could have delayed that decision for a public hearing, but they listened to all the emails and phone calls and nipped it in the bud.”

The federation’s president, Manley Fuller, added this in a press release: “Areas like Princess Place are getting rarer. We need to ensure their sustainability.”

Meanwhile, Dunn is on the road, looking for more sports events to bring to Flagler County.

“It’s OK, it didn’t work out,” he concluded about Spartan Race, maintaining that he followed the process that had been laid out by the county for attracting events.

“It’s an honorable way we go about doing it. … This is the life we’ve chosen, being in the public eye, and we will get through this and we will be much better on the other side.”

Historic Flagler County courthouse reopens as Christian school The First Baptist Christian Academy has moved from the church grounds in Palm Coast.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Children streamed into the old courthouse building on State Road 100 — just last year in danger of being demolished as the county struggled to find a use for it — as it opened Monday, Aug. 24 as the new home of the First Baptist Christian Academy.

“Many of the people that reside in this county for a long period of time, such as myself, have very fond memories of this building, and what it did with their lives,” County Commissioner Barbara Revels said at an Aug. 21 ribboncutting ceremony that was bookended with prayer. “Whether it was a marriage application, or some other function that they had here, or maybe their first mortgage on their home or their deed on their home was recorded.

Keeping it open? have to show we’re a viable bidder. … They’re going to check our finances. And if we have a checking account with 22 cents in it, we’re not a viable bidder.”

The School Board will accept responses to the RFP is Sept.

21, and the committee wants to have $50,000 in its bank account before it sends its proposal to the School Board.

For the facility to sustain itself under the advisory committee’s leadership, Courtney said, it would need to sell at least 830 memberships of $250 each. So the Advisory Committee, he said, could collect the coming year’s membership dues from interested club members itself, and refund the dues if it doesn’t win the RFP. The board presented other options to the clubgoers at the meeting: The committee could try to entice another entity, like the YMCA, to take over the facility, or it could work with such an entity in a partnership.

The YMCA has said it would need $200,000 from the community to take over the Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club.

Volusia-Flagler YMCA President Teresa Rand told clubgoers at the meeting that the Y couldn’t help raise money on behalf of another entity. “It’s either the Y, or it’s not the Y,” she said.

Other residents asked about having the city or the county intervene to save the pool. Courtney said there wasn’t time.

“The School Board is meeting Sept. 29, and they’re going to make a decision,” Courtney said.

“The county and the city, God bless ’em, can’t work in 30 days. … If you want this facility to stay open, we’ve got to come up with a solution.”

Jim Canfield, Palm Coast’s first mayor, told clubgoers at the meeting that although he doesn’t use the club himself — his grandchildren sometimes do when they visit, he said — the club is valuable for city residents.

“This is something that a good city or a good county provides the citizens,” he said. “You have a lot of power here, because you’re organized, you’re enthusiastic. …

Stay with it, work on it, and it’ll happen.”

Rand warned the clubgoers in the room that there would be hurdles if the Advisory Committee goes it alone. “A $200 membership is great, but is not going to sustain the facility,” she said.

“The pool itself will always lose money. Pools do not make money — ever, ever, ever. You have to have all the ancillary offerings for that to work. … I just caution you, it’s not as simple as it seems on paper.”

“It’s not simple at all, but there are options,” Courtney replied.

Courtney motioned that the advisory board form a legal entity to create a proposal for the School Board’s RFP, raise money to lease the facility, and begin pursuing nonprofit status. The club users in the room spoke an overwhelming “Aye.” The committee had raised $700 within a few minutes after the meeting ended.

“The pool itself will always lose money.

Pools do not make money — ever, ever, ever. You have to have all the ancillary offerings for that to work.”

Frogs are cute, until they’re dead

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

When you have four children, a foul smell can come from any number of sources: Diapers are a good bet. Secret stashes of food. But we couldn’t figure this one out.

“I’ve got it!” I said one night.

“It smells like rotten potatoes.”

Willing to believe anything at this point, my wife, Hailey, rushed to the pantry to check

MY VIEW

the potatoes, but, sadly, they looked and smelled just fine.

I emptied the garbage. Hailey scrubbed the garbage disposal.

And still, the stench grew worse.

The next morning before anyone else was awake, I started sniffing around the house like a dog, following my nose into the dining room — sniff, sniff — past the dinner table — sniff, sniff — and right up against the sliding glass door.

Then I opened the door and discovered a brown blob on top of one of the glass doors. Sniff, sniff — yep, this is the jackpot.

Like many Palm Coast homes, ours is a magnet for frogs at certain times of the year, and this was evidence: a dead frog perched neatly above the glass

where no one thinks to look.

Shouldn’t be a problem, though. I’ll just get a pencil and flick it out and toss it in the woods, and that will be that.

Unfortunately, this frog wasn’t so far gone. It hadn’t hardened yet into a flick-able hockey puck. I reached the pencil into the space above the door and inadvertently punctured the skin. Rather than a neat cleaning job, I was stuck with a pouch of black goo and stringy remains, which I removed bit by bit using half a roll of paper towels.

By this time, my son Grant was awake, and he became my audience, calmly eating cold cereal while I shuddered repeatedly trying to get rid of this former frog.

I finally finished and sprayed some cleaner into the cranny.

I took out the trash again and washed my hands. I had done it. I thought, “My wife will be so pleased when she comes in and finds that the smell is gone.”

Or not.

As it turns out, the smell didn’t improve — because that wasn’t the only frog. Later that night, I removed the glass door completely and found a second frog, this one even bigger but in the same black-and-gooey state.

No need to worry, though.

Everything is now clean, and we are back to our normal smells of diapers and secret food stashes.

And next time frogs camp out above our door, I’ll know better than to think it’s cute.

Spartan near-miss leaves questions

BRAD WEST GUEST WRITER

The one thing that was wonderful that came about from the development regarding the Spartan Race slated for Princess Place was seeing the community come together and voice their concern so quickly.

Unlike with other debates, there was very clear consensus, and positive mature discussion that took place. The outrage and concern was very clear very quickly to our commissioners who responded with what the residents wanted: no race at Princess Place.

But it cannot end there, because this situation leaves a great deal of unanswered questions. This situation was far more than just where the race was slated to be held. The real issues are how this situation

came about, who was involved, the lack of transparency, and what we can expect as the TDC moves under the county as a department.

First, as a community we were being told that there was no signed contract, yet Spartan Race was advertising and accepting payment for a “Jacksonville Super At Palm Coast” with a venue of Princess Place even up through late Monday afternoon?

This was after the county had issued a public statement on Sunday saying the event would not take place at Princess Place.

Working in a sports industry that works with other organizations and local governments, it is not normal that a major sports organization would advertise an event and begin accepting payments when no contract exists. So the question is who (Craig Coffey, Matt Dunn, or both) entered into or led Spartan to believe they had a solid agreement on the venue?

Second, Mr. Dunn mentioned the benefit of being able to use Princess Place because “it is free to us.” The question that

comes up here is who gave the TDC, an advisory group, the idea they had any authority over the decisions of how any county property is used?

Mr. Dunn, who is also the president of the Dunn Agency, may be confusing his role with the TDC and what they do for the county. As the TDC moves to becoming a department of the county, there are now many questions of Mr. Coffey’s ability to manage Mr. Dunn as well as what possible conflicts of interest exist with Mr. Dunn remaining with the Dunn Agency.

Third, our County Commission has had an issue with trust, and this matter has added more to that damaged reputation. It is very reasonable to question the leadership capability. It is also reasonable to question this group’s willingness, or ability, of managing the county administrator.

For example, the press release issued on a Sunday that claims that “staff” made a review of “parking” and determined it to be an issue on presumably a Saturday and only after a huge

public outcry, begs the question to be asked: You really expect us to believe that?

Many people like to complain about the city of Palm Coast’s government, but from my experience our city provides us with most of our services at half of the tax dollars and a council that has a far better handle on the community at a fifth of the commissioners’ salaries.

The bottom line is that this situation lacked transparency, respect for the community’s property, exposed us to potentially large lawsuits, and has potentially damaged future relationships with potential business partners.

No commissioner or this community should accept this situation to be over simply because a press release was issued seemingly to appease a community. We should have the truth from Mr. Coffey and Mr. Dunn because that is what we deserve. And if they cannot adequately answer as to how this very avoidable situation occurred, then they are not who we need in those positions.

LET T ERS

Deal just kept getting better — for Spartan Dear Editor: Flagler County was considering an agreement with Spartan Race to hold The Jacksonville Super endurance race at Princess Place Preserve. This entails closing the site to the public for three weeks and building an eight- to 10-mile obstacle course, which will basically destroy the beauty of the site.

And it gets better — for Spartan, that is.

According to a story on FlaglerLive.com, the county is not charging for the use of the preserve, Spartan is charging the participants, and they get to keep all the proceeds from any vendors at the event. The country has also approved giving the company $25,000 taxpayer dollars to help pay for the race.

Had enough yet? The county has also agreed to pay for all the services that will be required, water, fire, police, utilities internet, ambulance services, etc. No one has said how much this will cost the

taxpayers.

And the kicker? The contract has no provisions for cleaning and restoring the site after the event. Spartan can walk away and leaves us, the taxpayers, to clean up the mess.

Just who is running this county?

EDITH CAMPINS Palm Coast

Editor’s Note: The contract with the county was never signed — it was a draft created by Spartan Race without county input, according to tourism chief Matt Dunn.

Spartan adds to list of county problems Dear Editor: I write this letter after having read an email from County Commission Chairman Frank Meeker defending the further consideration of this violation of public assets.

The notion that this commission would even entertain

the thought of allowing a private entity to take over our preserve for any function is outrageous! This property was purchased by voter referendum for the continued enjoyment of Flagler's residents. This proposed usage is stealing the purpose of any preserve.

Clearly your employee, County Administrator Craig Coffey, has the wrong policy set by the commissioners on this matter — or does he? I have maintained for a number of years that Coffey sets policy for the BOCC and runs “his” agenda. This issue clearly illustrates that point. The BOCC has failed to safeguard the public interests and violates the public's trust.

Consider what you have been party to with Mr. Coffey's failures: Purchasing Florida's most expensive third-world water company; constructing a sheriff’s headquarters equipped with bats and a roof attached with decayed 40-year-old lumber; being the lead “agency” on the Matanzas Woods Interchange built in a

school zone with no signals or lighting to protect pedestrians, most of whom are students required to walk to school; the manatee zone that was not addressed for years and puts all county permits in jeopardy; and now Princess Place made into an “extreme game.”

What may have led Coffey to believe this would be acceptable was the BOCC voting to allow “living units” to be built at our parks. Is the 100-foot Ferris wheel on its way? The BOCC will create a “circus” in our dedicated land reserve that the Flagler taxpayers paid for but did not approve for this usage.

This would be an appropriate time to order Coffey to stop!

Then, begin the process of replacing him with a candidate that has the proper experience to steward Flagler County assets. Your collective failure to set policy for his performance makes you full party to this embarrassing list of failures.

THE WITNESS ISN’T TALKING YET 12:50 p.m. First block of Cypress Point Parkway. Larceny: A 35-year-old woman stuck her wallet in the baby seat in her shopping cart — next to her baby — at a local store. She was looking at baby clothes when she looked back at the cart and saw that her wallet and phone were missing. She asked a store employee to call her phone, and eventually found it in the women’s room, along with her wallet. But the thief made off with $200 cash. There were no suspects or witnesses — other than, presumably, the baby — to the crime.

THIS IS NOT A GAME ...

12:08 a.m. First block of Pine Hill Lane. Delayed battery: A 16-year-old with a swollen forehead and a scratched knee told a deputy he was approached by three young men who attacked him. At first, he said he’d been outside for no reason when the young men “jumped” him.

Then he said he’d been outside to meet with someone to buy a Nintendo he’d found on Swip Swap. The teen said the men tried to steal the $50 he’d brought to buy the Nintendo, but he was able to get away with the money. “(The teen) appeared to be withholding information about the incident and was slightly uncooperative with my investigation,” a deputy wrote in a report.

THIS’LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE. WELL, MAYBE TWO. 7:37 p.m. First block of Brittany Lane. Stolen vehicle: A man started the car in his driveway when a woman in his house called him back inside for a moment. He left the car running and went in side for “approximately two minutes,” according to a police report.

When he walked back outside, the car — a blue 2006 Chevy Malibu registered to the woman — was gone. He called police. A neighbor told a deputy she saw it on a nearby street. A Sheriff’s Office sergeant saw the car heading south on Old Dixie Highway and tried to stop it, but it kept going and crossed into Volusia County. Deputies notified the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and recorded the car in a criminal database as stolen.

BRIEFS City: No air quality problems on Florida Park Drive The air quality along Florida Park Drive is just fine, according to city officials.

City staff members told the city council at its Aug. 25 workshop that pollutants measured at the city’s busiest intersection — Palm Coast Parkway and Cypress Point Parkway/Boulder Rock Drive — don’t even come close to exceeding state pollution standards or National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

The city studied that intersection as a “worst-case scenario,” staff members said: Not only does the area get heavy traffic, but much of that traffic is stop-andgo, which increases emissions.

FDOT standards mandate further screening if concentrates exceed 35 parts per million for a one-hour period or nine parts per million for an eight-hour period.

The Palm Coast Parkway and Cypress Point Parkway concentrates aren’t even a third of that level, staff members said, and if that intersection is in no danger of violating air quality standards, the less busy Florida Park Drive isn’t, either — regardless of resident complaints.

“They’re not even close in volume,” Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon said. “It’s really a waste of time, and more particularly money, to analyze it further and expect that you’re going to get results that are worse than Palm Coast Parkway.”

The program is free of charge for families.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

Voluntary pre-kindergarten enrollment has shown a significant decrease of applicants within Volusia and Flagler counties this year. The number of children enrolled have decreased from 756 in Flagler and 3,787 in Volusia in the 2013-14 school year to 683 applicants in Flagler County and 3,346 in Volusia in 2015.

VPK was implemented in Flagler County in 2005. As of 2014, every public elementary school in Flagler County dedicated at least one classroom to the VPK program. Many other private organizations are also available in Flagler County who offer VPK services. The program is completely free of charge for the families. VPK children learn cognitive and social skills as well as emotional development.

Sunshine Academy of Flagler Executive Director Dmitriy Shevchenko believes a classroom setting can benefit a child by consistently having class five days a week, at the same time every day.

Shevchenko, whose facility is on Old Kings Road, explained the importance of setting a basis for a child prior to starting kindergarten. The expectations of children have grown, so by the time they are in kindergarten they are expected to know the alphabet as well as shapes and colors. VPK provides an attentive one-on-

one learning experience for the children with small class sizes and multiple teachers.

Schevchenko believes that enrollment numbers have noticeably decreased at Sunshine Academy from 53 students in 2013 to only 32 students currently because of the lack of awareness within the community.

“Families need to be aware of their options,” he said. “VPK provides a free, safe and educational alternative to homeschooling. Placing children early on in a classroom setting instills important cognitive, social and emotional skills. It provides a chance for children to develop trusting relationships with their teachers as well as fellow classmates. The program paves the way for a child to achieve success in later years.”

child care homes. This allows the child to still be in a home setting while also benefiting from having other children to interact with.

D.J. Lebo, executive director of Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia, hopes to eventually see every eligible child receive an education through VPK. VPK is administered through the Early Learning Coalition of Flagler and Volusia Counties.

Guardians must obtain a VPK certificate of eligibility. To register visit elcfv.org/families/ vpk/#registration. Guardians of the child must provide the child’s birth certificate or immunization record signed by a physician and proof of Florida residence through a driver’s license. A child is only eligible this year if they turn 4 on or before Tuesday, Sep. 1, 2015. All children are eligible for VPK regardless of household income.

STEM Academy at Wadsworth Elementary starts with two full classes The science, technology, engineering and math program already has a waiting list for next year.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

The start of the new school year included a new program for Wadsworth Elementary: a STEM Academy. Students participating in the Academy will focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics this year.

Martin Evans and Tammi Gray, the program teachers, welcomed 44 students into their classrooms on Monday, Aug. 24.

“The premise is a practical application of knowledge and skills and learning standards, as in the other classes at Wadsworth,” Principal John Fanelli said. “A lot of the students who previously attended the Phoenix Academy are part of this program.”

The Academy incorporates education technology using an engineering lab designed specifically for the program.

“It’s an opportunity, through extended day and additional materials and resources, to put their knowledge to use,” Fanelli said. “For example, if they are learning about area, they may get a problem like to tile the classroom. They measure, determine how much tile, grout, etc., and order the tile. We work really hard to teach our students skills, but don’t always have the time to show them how to use these in real life. This program bridges it for them.”

On the first day, students got a glimpse into what is in store for them this year. They will be building robots from LEGO Mindstorm Robotics kits.

“We will design our own robots that will actually complete a game,” Evans said.

After the robots are built and programmed, they are given a game with multiple tasks. On Sept. 12, the students will enter a robot in their first competition in Clearwater.

“Three students will attend the competitions but the whole class will work on it,” Evans said.

The STEM Academy students attend school 45 minutes longer than the regular school day.

“Students come from all over the county, not just in zone,” Fanelli said. “We have a representation from almost every school across the district, and home

The program is already popular with students and their parents.

“We have 44 students enrolled and there is a waiting list,” Fanelli said. “We had parents of fifthgraders calling to be put on the waiting list for next year.”

There is little doubt in Fanelli’s mind that the program will be successful.

“Our goal moving forward is to grow this program into the seventh and eighth grades, with the sixth grade rolling into the seventh and eighth grade program, and transition them into high school,” he said.

Senior citizens honored for contributions

AMERICAN LEGION INSTALLS OFFICERS

Led by the efforts of Deborah Susswein, awards were given to Sonia Byrne, Thomas Corum, Jo Ann Smerdon.

In honor of all senior citizens in the United States, Aug. 21 is celebrated as National Senior Citizen Day. The day is to honor senior citizens throughout the United States who have made a positive contribution to their communities. Closer to home, Deborah Susswein arranged an awards ceremony to give recognition to some of Flagler County’s most outstanding senior citizens.

The awards ceremony was held at Florida Hospital Flagler on Aug. 21 and was sponsored by the Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation. The 2015 National Senior Citizen Day awards were given to Sonia Byrne, Thomas Corum and Jo Ann Smerdon.

An award was also presented to Friends of the Library President Terry Jones in honor of Sandra Rose Friedman, as well as an award in honor of the late Dr. John Canakaris to his surviving spouse, Georgia Canakaris.

Susswein got the inspiration to honor our community’s senior

citizens from the Santa Fe Living Treasures program. Mary Lou Cook founded the program in 1984 to express gratitude for the contributions of our nation’s elders.

“We set a great example for the younger generations,” Jo Ann Smerdon said. “We show them they are never too old to accomplish your dreams. You can do anything you set your mind to.”

Smerdon, owner of Kritters animal sanctuary, dedicates her life to the animals at her shelter.

Her goal is to give unfortunate animals who have been abandoned a sanctuary to live a long and healthy life.

Award winner Thomas Corum is on the executive committee for the Palm Coast Arts Foundation. His long-term vision for the community as well as his optimism continues to benefit the Arts Foundation. Corum has been a resident of Palm Coast since August 1992.

for the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office for 13 years. Within that time, she has volunteered for 27,000 hours. Her duties within law enforcement are a great contribution to the community. She was nominated by Senior Cmdr.

Mark Carman, who looks to Byrne as a second mother.

“She makes the precinct feel

more like a home than a place of business,” Carman said.

The Senior Citizen Awards ceremony is the first of many events to come. Susswein expects to hold an annual event honoring Flagler County’s senior citizens once a year on National Senior Citizen Day.

American Legion Flagler Post 115 installed their officers for 2015-2015 at a recent meeting.

The Post, which has been serving veterans in Flagler County since 1937, has more than 350 members. New officers are Joe Licata, executive committee; Sal Rutigliano, service officer; Sandy Ausbrooks, post chaplain; Marc Bellapianta, adjutant; Ray Work, commander; Omer G. Smith, judge advocate; George Stockley, executive committee; Charlie Hayes, second vice commander; Ken Wall, executive committee; David Hammond, first vice commander; Ted Listing, financial officer; and Hans Lekien, historian.

HOLY LAND VISIT Six people from Palm Coast United Methodist Church, including Congregational Care Minister Mike Legaspi, traveled to the Holy Land in Israel in July.

The group took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee and swam in the Dead Sea.

SURFERS

FOR AUTISM

Surfers for Autism afforded 200 children moments in the ocean they will never forget.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

H

Hundreds of people crowded Flagler Beach all day Saturday, Aug. 22, for the sixth-annual Surfers for Autism event. The event is held 14 times a year, starting off in Australia then on to many locations through Florida with a stop off in Tybee Island, Georgia.

At each location the event allows 200 participants, children and adults, with autism to surf with skilled instructors.

Surfers for Autism is sponsored by many local and national businesses. This year 16 local restaurants catered free food and drinks for all the participants and families. Thirty surfboards were donated by Global Surf Industries, and Sun Bum provided free sunscreen for all who attended.

Live music by Robert Keele set the

mood as the kids dashed through the water in earnest to catch their next wave.

The events make a huge impact on the disabled participants’ lives, as well as their families’ lives.

“After one of these events he is on a super high; we all are,” Michelle Weppner said about her autistic son, Nate. The two drove all the way from Boca Raton the day of the event.

Many of the families look forward to the events and creating new lifelong friendships with other families who share similar situations. Many of the same participants look forward to coming back every year.

“This is one of the best things about having autism, I get to do these events,” Elijah Kelly said to his mother that morning.

Surfers for Autism was started eight years ago by a small group in Deerfield Beach. Every event thereafter has been sold out with

Nicole Januszkiewicz helps Mason McCracken learn to ride the waves.

200 participants and around 300 volunteers.

Surfing transforms the autistic children’s mindset as they accomplish riding a wave. In many instances non-verbal children have spoken their first words while surfing at the events amidst an amazing support group. The volunteers and families pull together to create a memorable moment for the children as they reach a great achievement.

nlike this stay-inside generation, I was raised in an era where my mom would lock my siblings and me out of the house and tell us not to come back until the streetlights came on. We didn’t have any intentions on returning home, especially when our cable was turned off.

But whenever lightning appeared, all of our activities were rained away, so we couldn’t play with friends or invent new games, record short movies like“Thursday,” a spin off of Ice Cube’s “Friday,” or just doing anything to keep from going inside. Instead, we would just miserably watch the rain drops roll down our windows, waiting for a Cat-in-the-Hat like save.

That’s how I felt Thursday night at Mainland. Eager to see their talent for the first time this season, my nephew, Malik Cooper, and I predicted what would happen all the way from Palm Coast to Daytona. After watching them practice a few weeks ago, he assumed Cyrus Fagan (his new favorite player) would catch a lot of interceptions.

When we got there, we were told that there was a rain delay, which lasted throughout the night, along with Malik’s constant complaining that we should’ve left after first hearing about it. Looking into the sky at those bolts was just like looking out of those rain-filled windows as a kid.

Beyond my feelings were the Bucs. They had prepared for that moment for weeks.

“We’ve been talking about playing Lake Mary since the spring, so of course it was a letdown,” coach Scott Wilson said, “but we look at it as one less week for bodies to endure, and we are excited for DeLand on Friday night.”

While we waited to leave, I began to regret making the trip to Daytona, when Matanzas was playing in Palm Coast. Wanting to know how they were doing with their new wave of confidence, I scanned my Twitter feed to find score updates, but I saw same news about the Pirates’ game; they also canceled.

“I’ve lost a bunch of money at the gate because of Mother Nature,” coach Robert Ripley said. “The team was disappointed; they wanted to play a good Clay team.”

While both teams can find positives for not playing, they both wanted to get on that field more than I wanted to see a game. Hopefully, they will get their chances Friday night, when it matters most, and, barring any practice injuries, everyone will be heathy, fresh and ready.

Last month Mike Esposito, a member of the Jacksonville University Shooting Team, recently led his team to a Scholastic Clay Target Program National Championship and four other national titles in Sporting Clays, Handicap Trap, Trap Doubles and Skeet Doubles at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, Illinois.

Competing against more than 2,500 high school and collegiate athletes in the biggest SCTP Nationals to date, Esposito accomplished the rare mark of hitting a perfect 100/100 in Sporting Clays his first day, becoming the SCTP Collegiate National High Over All Champion in Sporting Clays.

“It feels incredible,” Esposito said. “I still can’t believe it! I worked my tail off to get to this

point. That had been my main goal and focus for the past two years. All the blood, sweat and tears finally paid off, but I couldn’t have done it alone. I had some great coaching and some help from friends along the way, especially the support of my family and close friends.”

Flagler swimmers earn top finishes in ocean marathon Several Flagler residents topped their competition at the Jacksonville Ocean Marathon that was held Saturday, Aug. 15, in Jacksonville Beach.

Bell on Bell: ‘God-given talent’ While it may have been his first run in the USA Powerlifting competitions, Dante Bell is no stranger to the sport. He proved that when he broke three state records at the fourth-annual USAPL Central Florida Open Powerlifting Championships on Saturday, July 25, in Orlando.

Bell broke the previous bench record (220) with 275 pounds, squat (330) with 336 pounds and the overall total weight (909) by nearly 100 pounds to win his division championship.

“It’s pretty overwhelming because God has done some wonderful works in my life,” Bell said. “Going to that meet and breaking state records is incredible because everything I do is for him, and he’s blessed me with God-given talent.”

ounds of laughter and high emotions drift from the second story of City Marketplace at the City Repertory Theatre.

“Godspell,” which is scheduled to be performed from Sept. 18 to Oct. 11, marks the start for the new season.

The musical is based off the Gospel of Matthew, and was originally written in the early 1970s by playwright and director John-Michael Tebelak, with the rock musical base by theater lyricist and composer Stephen Schwartz. Thirty different parables are acted out throughout “Godspell” in an entertaining and sometimes controversial manner.

“If you walk out of our theater and we haven’t ticked you off, made you think or inspired you, then we haven’t done our job,” said CRT Artistic Director John Sbordone.

The City Repertory Theatre has been at the City Marketplace for five years and has successfully preformed 33 plays.

As a 501c3 nonprofit facility, funds come from community support, FlaglerLive, the city of Palm Coast and Dolphin Printing & Design. Over the course of a year, the theater sees on average 150 passionate volun-

Ruffling feathers, at Baiata Bird Sanctuary

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Last week, I visited Trudy Tappan at the Baiata Bird Sanctuary at NatureScapes. The sanctuary was created after founder and owner Marylou Baiata died in 2014. I was lucky enough to cross paths with Marylou many times over the years, and our talks would inevitably turn to Teddy, her Moluccan cockatoo.

I found Teddy in the gazebo with the rest of the birds, atop a play stand, with a noticeable amount of his plumage missing.

Feather plucking is something every bird owner knows must be addressed quickly, as it can easily become habitual. There are several reasons birds pull their feathers, from poor diet and insufficient light, to stress. In Teddy’s case, it’s stress.

“He started plucking himself on the one-year anniversary of Marylou’s death,” Tappan said.

Teddy, and all of the birds, have very healthy diets, and they are in the company of other birds. Tappan has implemented ways to deter the feather plucking, making sure Teddy has an assortment of toys to chew on, including a bright blue feather.

“I brought a feather from my macaw,” Tappan said. “I want him to chew on that feather instead of his own.”

Teddy also has a new friend,

Apollo, also a Moluccan cockatoo, who sits on a stand opposite Teddy. The two squawk and talk, and bob up and down if music is played. Having a new friend is definitely good for Teddy.

Not all of his friends are birds. Judy and Steve Finger, who have African gray parrots at home, are part of a team of volunteers at the sanctuary.

“There was an ad in the Palm Coast Observer that brought us to the sanctuary at NatureScapes,” Judy said. “We were looking for a place to volunteer our time, and this was perfect.”

The Fingers and Tappan are at the sanctuary every day.

“This is like my church on Sunday, my sanctuary,” Tappan said.

The Baiata Bird Sanctuary welcomes donations. Visit palmcoastbirds.org.

Chez Jacqueline supports SAFFARI

S

ave a Furry Friend Animal Rescue recently held a fundraising event at Chez Jacqueline on Palm Harbor Village Way. Owner of the shop Jacqueline Hamilton often has fundraisers for different local organizations. “This might be our best year ever,” she said.

“Every time we hold an event, I get the satisfaction from helping others while receiving a wealth of friends and support for my shop. Her shop, nestled in Palm Coast, has been a success for the last 12 years.

Guests also had a chance to meet a couple of supportive local artists, whose artwork will be donated to SAFFARI. “I believe I have been given a special gift to draw, and with it I can contribute back to the

community,” Clare Vilante said.

SAFFARI has been a 501c3 nonprofit facility for two years as of this September. Last year SAFFARI helped over 1000 animals within our community with the help of 18 volunteers.

SAFFARI is utilizing a proactive solution to the problem of cats over populating. This year, founder of the organization Ruth Rupprecht is focusing efforts on trap-neuter-release or TNR. The long term goal is to have every feral cat in Flagler County go through TNR. With these efforts, so far zero feral cats are shown to be repopulating the area of Marineland through Flagler Beach.

The animal rescue pays for the cats to be spayed or neutered as well as any veterinary visits

ALL THE FUN HALF THE PRICE

and antibiotics. “SAFFARI is a vehicle we can all use to help animals,” Ruth Rupprecht said.

Palm Coaster rides waves on carrier in Arabian Gulf JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class Grace Allison, of Palm Coast, is currently aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Arabian Gulf.

The Flagler Palm Coast High School graduate is deployed with the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, strike operations in Iraq and Syria, as directed, maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the gulf.

Her duties include cleaning propeller blades of E-2D Hawkeyes assigned to the Tigertails of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron.

Stars and Stripes, the daily newspaper serving the military, reported that the aircraft carrier made a port visit to Bahrain in July to allow the crew some time for rest and relaxation.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Like many children in Flagler County, Sage Sackett’s summer vacation ended on Monday, Aug. 24. But this fifth-grade student at Belle Terre Elementary plans to combine schoolwork with working on her second meditation book for kids.

Sage is the author of “Uncle Namaste and the Meditating Monkeys,” a book that came to her during her own meditation.

She writes under the pen name, Sage Kimberly James.

“I like to meditate in parks,” Sage said. “I was meditating and thought of monkeys and wrote a

book about monkeys that meditate.”

Sage’s mother, Erin Sackett, wasn’t surprised when her daughter took pen to paper.

“She has been writing since, well, as soon as she could,” Sackett said.

Sage said that the book, which she also illustrated, only took her three days to complete.

Sage said she often meditates with her brother and sister and a couple of close friends. She is hoping that she can introduce more friends and classmates to meditation.

The book can be downloaded from www. amazon.com.

Join the Cause: Win 4 Autism Win 4 Autism held its first event at Bulow State Park on Aug. 22.

Win 4 Autism held its first event in Florida on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Bulow Creek State Park.

Brennon Staggs, founder of Win 4 Autism, was just 12 years old when he came up with the idea. He went to his father, Craig Staggs: “We need to do something to help other kids with autism.

You and Mom found help for me, but what about the kids who are struggling with the same problems and cannot afford help?”

Touched by his son’s motivation to help others, the father founded Win 4 Autism in Kansas City.

After his move south, Craig Staggs decided to continue his son’s foundation here in Florida.

Since starting in February this year, four families have been helped. Win 4 Autism donates directly to Autism Speaks, and money is given to families to help pay for autistic children’s therapy. Additionally, Brennon and his father currently remodel classic cars to be sold to raise funds for the foundation. So far, they have successfully remodeled and sold two 1969 GTOs, a 1990 Corvette and a 1998 Pontiac Trans Am. Brennon is now a senior at Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas City and is a high-

functioning student. He is presently taking computer programing courses and intends to create a therapeutic video game. One of his concepts is to create a computer program to help autistic children develop abstract reasoning and communication. Brennon intends to further expand Win 4 Autism as he graduates and develops further into adulthood.

Bradley honored for donations at hot dog stand For 17 years, those who traveled down Palm Coast Parkway have had the privilege of pulling over in the Sears parking lot and enjoying a hot dog, maybe some chips and a cold drink at Jim Bradley’s hot dog stand.

Along with providing the community with refreshments, he also takes donations for various groups, including the American Legion Post 115, of which he’s a member.

As a token of the group’s appreciation for the $7,000 plus that he has donated, First Vice Cmdr. Dave Hammond presented Bradley with a certificate of appreciation and a badge to commemorate his efforts to provide for the group.

Bradley, who has never taken a single tip, credited the community who has given the tips over the years to help the groups he supports. With the support his donations provide, the Legion assists with the Flagler County Boys State & Girls State Projects, Boy Scouts, Jr. ROTC and the Flagler County Veterans Support.

Since October 1998, Bradley has donated a total of nearly $45,000 to a variety of different groups around Flagler County.

All the kids in Flagler County prepare for the new school year to start Monday, Aug. 24. For many this entails a new wardrobe, haircut and school supplies. Olga Hernandez, owner of Olga’s Hair Salon, is helping those who might need some extra help.

As a member to FPLN, or Beacon to the Nations Church, she made a promise to God to help others in need within her community. On Wednesday, Aug. 19, she helped six women and seven children from the Battered Women’s Shelter get fresh new haircuts, as well as 28 children. All the kids got free back-to-school haircuts.

This is the second free haircut

Anastasia Pagello

Emily Morris, with Olga Hernandez, is looking forward to starting her junior year at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

day Hernandez has held in her new salon, and her fifth-annual back-to-school haircut event.

Hernandez decided to become a professional hair stylist in honor of her mother’s death in

2009. Her mother held a legacy as a superb hairdresser. Hernandez’s daughter, Emilly Gonzales, wishes to peruse the same passion for hair dressing when she reaches adulthood. Heading into fourth grade at Rymfire Elementary School, she helps her mother in the family salon.

The salon opened in March last year at 269 Old Moody Blvd., next to the Flagler County Airport.

This year, the Publix at 4950 Belle Terre Parkway, donated sandwiches and snacks for the all-day event. The local Domino’s also donated several boxes of pizza for the women and children who came and went throughout the day.

Hernandez hopes to increase the number of women and children she can help every year. She hopes that eventually other local hair salons and stylists will be interested in joining the cause.
