The Auletti family doesn’t let differing opinions on the presidential race pull their family apart.

There were no political signs in the front yard, or bumper stickers on the cars, but inside the house there were definite, opposing views on who should be the next president of the United States.

Preliminary results (Flagler County only)

Trump, Rubio and DeSantis were just the beginning.

Jeff Dawsey

Nick Klufas, who has won the race for the District 3 Palm Coast City Council seat, claps as election results come in at Cue Note Billiard Room Nov. 8.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

epublicans swept Flagler County’s 2016 general election, unseating Democratic incumbents and garnering solid numbers up and down the ballot. Democrats won no Flagler County races.

“Our community has spoken, that they align themselves more with the Republican or conservative values,” Flagler County Young Republican Club President Patrick Juliano said. “This is a result of a collaborative team effort. … You had the Young Republicans and the Flagler County Republican Club going door to door for about eight weeks; the Flagler County Republican Executive Committee and the Flagler County Trump Campaign have been getting out the results for Trump. This is just a huge effort of teamwork — of using all the available tools to us, whether door-to-door, campaigning, waiving signs. This is a true victory for everybody in the party. Teamwork at its best.”

Donald Trump is Flagler County residents’ choice for president, getting 58.88% of county residents’ votes to Clinton’s 38.29% . Every single Flagler County pre-

cinct went red in the presidential election — a major change from the 2012 election, when Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama took 11 local precincts.

In the local races, Rick Staly won the race for Sheriff, beating Democrat Larry Jones.

Nick Klufas will be the next Palm Coast District 3 city councilman, with 53.23% of the vote to Pam Richardson’s 46.77% to 46.85% — a difference of 2,461 votes — in what turned out to be the tightest local race of the night.

In the race for the District 5 School Board seat, Maria Barbosa defeated Myra Middleton-Valentine, 59.76% to 40.24%.

In the County Commission races, the three Republican candidates — Charlie Ericksen, David Sullivan and Donald O’Brien — have beaten their Democratic rivals. O’Brien has unseated George Hanns, the county’s longest serving current county commissioner.

“It feels great,”O’Brien said after the results came in declaring him the winner. “It’s kind of a validation of hard work. And I really respect and admire Mr. Hanns. I wish him a lot of success and good will going forward. I’m hoping I can call on him for advice and things in the future.”

Ralph Lightfoot, chairman of the Flagler County Democratic Executive Committee, called the results “very disappointing.”

“We’ve lost every seat in the county by a substantial margin,” he said. “We did a lot of work. We had a record number of volunteers, a record number of phone calls.

We just can’t get the numbers up to where they need to be. … You would think that Trump would have driven people out to the polls.

What we need to do is increase the registration, and get that participation up.”

There are 31,571 registered Republicans in Flagler County, and just 25,312 registered Democrats. Voters affiliated with no party number 20,716, and those

PRECINCTS FLIP These 11 precincts voted for Trump after voting for Obama in 2012: 1 Bunnell City Hall; 10 Flagler County School Building; 11 Rymfire Elementary School; 13 Christ The King Lutheran Church; 14 Palm Coast Bible Church; 15 Buddy Taylor Middle School; 16 Wadsworth Elementary School; 17 Belle Terre Swim/ Racquet Club; 18 Shepherd Of The Coast Lutheran Church; 19 Flagler County Library; 20 Park View Baptist Church

affiliated with minor parties number 1,899.

“The people who have worked with us over these years deserve all of the credit,” said Bob Updegrave, who has led voter outreach efforts for the Flagler County Republican Club. “We have had some incredibly dedicated people focus on registrations, registrations, registrations. And boy, it has really paid off — for our party, for our candidates.”

Earlier in the day, Lightfoot said turnout has been solid considering Democrats’ lower registration numbers in Flagler County.

“We’re still behind on registrations, and it’s going to take a few years to remedy that, but we’ve had more volunteers than before,” he said.

Republicans outvoted Democrats during early voters: 41.97% of registered Flagler County Republicans voted early, compared to 38.76% of registered Democrats.

Another 19.57% of the county’s registered Republicans voted by mail-in ballot, while 17.42% of the county’s registered Democrats voted by mail.

Homefront voting battleground OPINIONS FROM PAGE 1

Darlene Benjamin, a teacher at Imagine Schools at Town Center, is a Democrat, and said she would be voting for Hilary Clinton. Her husband, Frank Auletti, night manager at Florida Hospital Flagler, is a Republican, and was voting for Donald Trump.

The political divide did not occur because of this election.

For the most part, the two have always voted from opposite sides of the aisle.

“My first election, I voted for Ross Perot, and that didn’t work out very well,” Auletti laughed.

The election process in this house is civil.

“I think we respect each other’s viewpoints,” Benjamin said. “I understand why he’s a Republican, and he understands why I am a Democrat.”

Voting for Clinton had a lot to do with her past work with developmentally disabled people, and the fact that she is a woman.

“I wish it was worth giving an independent a vote in this election, because they are both just so controversial,” Benjamin said.

The two have watched the debates in separate rooms, admitting that they often recorded them to watch in smaller segments.

“Trump wasn’t my first choice, by far,” Auletti said. “For the most part he’s doing what I would like him to do. I am for not having one big government telling everybody what to do.”

The couple’s twin children, Hannah and Gabe, both voted in mock elections in school.

“I just voted for a random third party — Castle,” Hannah said.

Gabe chose not to divulge which of the candidates he cast his ballot for.

Wednesday morning was like any other for the family. Benjamin headed off to Imagine Schools at Town Center, and was unavailable for an after-election comment. Auletti had come in from his overnight shift at the hospi-

tal, but before he headed to bed for some much-needed sleep, he talked about the results and the future.

“I think people will see that Trump is not the racist and sexist that they all put him out to be.

I really think this will be better than they expect, and I hope that we can come together,” Auletti said.

Auletti said he tried to explain things to his children as objectively as possible, and encouraged them to talk to other people.

“We’ve got to be a good example for civic duties,” Auletti said.

“I don’t know if they learned anything from this election, because everything was over the top.”

One thing Auletti said he definitely will not miss about the past months are the political commercials.

“I am looking forward to seeing nothing but regular car and banking commercials again,” Auletti said.

Halifax Paving finished repairs on the 1.3-mile stretch of A1A, ahead of schedule.

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

One month to the day after Hurricane Matthew destroyed 1.3 miles of State Road A1A in Flagler Beach, the road was re-opened.

“To look at this roadway today, and where it was just 30 days ago … it’s just amazing,” Gov. Rick Scott said.

The governor, other elected officials, Florida Department of Transportation workers and residents stood in the parking lot of Oceanside Beach Bar & Grill to see the road re-opened.

Like many businesses, the owners of Oceanside had moved their entrance to Central Ave., so they could stay open while the main road was closed.

“When we came here with the governor one month ago, I actually took a piece of asphalt from the roadway, and it’s been sitting in the center of my desk,” Secretary of the Florida Department of Transportation Jim Boxold said.

After visiting the site in October, Scott issued an emergency order to get State Road A1A reopened as quickly as possible.

Halifax Paving Inc., of Ormond Beach, was awarded the contract and will receive nearly a $1 million bonus for the early completion.

“I asked DOT if they could do it quickly, and we started out thinking it would take 45 days,” Scott said. “They did it in 18 days. Congratulations to everybody made that happen. We appreciate the residents bearing with us; we appreciate the businesses bearing with us. We know we have a lot more work to do in terms of function-ability and repair, but

the beauty of that roadway functioning is that now we have the time we need, to work with the permitting agencies, to deal with the seawall, to deal with the dunes — to get the permanent solution to this roadway correct.”

Flagler Beach Mayor Linda Provencher gave the governor a big hug and expressed the town’s appreciation.

“The entire city of Flagler Beach wants to thank you for what you did for a small community.

You could have overlooked us,” Provencher said. “Thanks to all of the workers who made it happen.

They worked day and night, even when people got in their way to go down on the beach.”

Provencher said she initially thought it would take at least a year to re-open the road and spoke about another benefit of the accelerated repair.

“Now we have time to sit back, and decide what we want to do to the dunes,” Provencher said. “We want to protect the road and the dunes.”

The speed limit for the 1.3-mile stretch of road has been lowered to 25 mph, while work continues on the dunes and the beach. An abbreviated Jersey wall separates the road from the dunes.

Rep. Paul Renner said the project was a testament to FDOT. “Since I came into office, just a year ago, people always told me how great the FDOT is, and this is evidence of that,” Renner said.

“We can’t thank you enough for opening our road. It is the main artery of our town,” Provencher said to Scott.

“It’s part of the history of the state,” Scott responded.

County hearing ‘a different set of rules’ from FEMA on storm reimbursement

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County has gotten mixed signals from the Federal Emergency Management Agency: It was originally told that it would be reimbursed by FEMA for certain post- Hurricane Matthew cleanup expenses, even without getting the work pre-authorized.

But now FEMA staff, in a recent briefing, have told county officials something different, County Administrator Craig Coffey said at an Nov. 7 County Commission workshop.

“We tried to follow all the rules as we understand it,” Coffey said.

“At the briefing, we heard a different set of rules that required preapproval from a debris team. We have not seen a debris team, and we may not see one for a couple more weeks. So the option they’ve given you is to wait two months until a debris team determines that’s OK. … From a life safety standpoint, there’s kids, sometimes there’s sewage, there’s fire hazards. We could not wait two months. … If you wait on FEMA or wait on somebody else, you’re going to get somebody hurt.”

The county has asked for damage assessments for a total of $33 million, of which about $11 would be for properties that are under

the county’s jurisdiction, such as unincorporated areas or county facilities like the Flagler County Public Library branch in Palm Coast, said Flagler County Public Safety Emergency Manager Steve Garten.

The county’s total estimate for reimbursable vegetative debris cleanup alone is $1.7 million, Garten said, plus $77,000 for construction and demolition debris, $187,000 for removing hanging tree limbs and another $8,400 for potentially dangerous branches that are leaning against a tree trunk.

The county has collected about 100,0000 cubic yards of vegetative debris and another 4,000 in construction and demolition debris in unincorporated areas and on county-owned property, and is about 90-95% done with its first pass of debris collection. Vegetative debris is being mulched at a landfill, Garten said.

BEACH CLEANUP CONTINUES

Flagler County is still working to clean up its beaches, with high tides re-depositing storm debris.

Areas that haven’t been cleared thoroughly, Environmental Planner Tim Telfer said, are mostly ones that are a decent hike from the remaining dune walkovers.

County staff are planning a series of beach cleanups the week of Thanksgiving, and will drive volunteers out to the more remote areas on all-terrain vehicles at those events.

HOW TO HELP Want to pitch in with beach cleanup efforts on your own time? Volunteers can bag storm debris in heavyduty plastic garbage bags, and place the filled bags at the dune line for county staff to collect. But watch your step: A lot of the wood debris has nails in it.

Republican revolution?

There were zero Democratic victories in this year’s local results. Zero.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

After she got home from school on Election Day, my 7-year-old daughter, Ellie, told me she had voted for Hillary Clinton in the mock election held in her first-grade class.

I asked what made her pick Hillary, and she said, “Just my feeling. I don’t really do things for a reason.”

In that respect, she is not unlike many of us. In the voting booth, sometimes you just have to go with your gut. And the results show that Donald Trump represents the “feeling” that a majority of Ameri-

Commission, lost big.

And even more surprising, Democratic incumbent Barbara Revels lost her seat on the County Commission after eight strong years. In my view, there was no good reason to remove her.

Revels’ challenger, Dave Sullivan, entered the race at the last minute and easily defeated a no-show opponent in the Republican primary. Then, in my view, he rode the Republican momentum into office.

That’s not to take away from his abilities; I believe Sullivan will do a great job, and he has been a key player in Republican leadership here for years.

He’s smart, principled and goodhearted.

But this has to be concerning for future Democratic candidates.

cans have about the state of our great country and about our future.

Before the drama unfolded on the national stage, however, we got our local results, and I was privileged to join David Ayres, Patrick Kelly and Milissa Holland at the WNZF studio to talk politics. Here are my three takeaways regarding the local races:

1. Flagler County is a Republican town.

There were zero Democratic victories in this year’s local results. Zero. The national and state races were 60-40 landslides for Republicans.

Former City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo, in my view, was an extremely strong Democratic candidate for County Commission and lost.

George Hanns, a Democratic incumbent for the County

defeated Pam Richardson to join the Palm Coast City Council. Richardson, who has paid her dues by being involved for years in the political world, got more votes than Klufas in the primary, making her the favorite on Nov. 8. But Klufas turned things around and won 53-47. It was an impressive win, and I look forward to big things from him.

3. Maria Barbosa wins in a landslide.

The Observer was critical of Maria Barbosa in our endorsements and recommended her opponent, Myra MiddletonValentine. But Barbosa is a fighter. I congratulate her on her dramatic, 60-40 win, and I look forward to getting to know her better over the next four years.

To all the candidates, thank you for your dedication to making our community such a wonderful place to raise my family.

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

Don’t confuse medical marijuana with handicap tags Dear Editor: By the time this is read, the votes will have been counted, and it will have passed or not.

At least I will know that my vote has canceled out last week’s letter writer, Bill Nelson.

As someone who has firsthand knowledge of a family that had to move to Colorado to get care for their young daughter, who once had 50 seizures a day and now has five; of cancer patients who don’t vomit and can get out of bed after having their chemo sessions; of young Iraq War vets who get under their blankets with earplugs in the week before and after the Fourth of July because of fireworks in the neighborhood — cannabis oil has helped in all of these cases. This is not political spin; it’s the facts.

The Amendment 2 vote was for medicinal reasons only. The oils that they use in these cases have no THC in them (the stuff that gets you high), so all these backaches, tummy aches, etc., will have no use for this type of

cannabis.

You won’t have to worry about a car full of kids smoking a joint in the handicap parking spot at the grocery store. For someone to compare fraudulent handicap parking with parents that are looking for answers for their children’s pain when all other methods have been exhausted is beyond the scope of my imagination.

Please go to the parking lot of that library you talked of and park in whatever spot you are legally assigned and spend the day researching the pros and cons of medicinal cannabis.

Those children that you say it will hurt the most are the ones who need it the most.

How teens around the world see our election Dear Editor: The election of 2016 has caused an uproar in the otherwise self centered minds of teenagers. Although not usually outspoken when it comes to a majority of today’s prob-

lems, this generation has some of the strongest opinions when it comes to the presidential election.

Interest in this election is so widespread that teenagers in other countries have knowledge on what is going on in America. I decided to take matters into my own hands and ask some of my international friends for their views.

The first question went to Mackenzy Stow, a 16-year-old Australian native. I asked her, “What do you know about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton’s policies? Who would you vote for?”

Mackenzy wrote, “I know that Donald Trump is a billionaire. I also know that he has said hateful things about minorities like African Americans, Latinos and gays. I know that he behaves disgustingly towards women and has no respect for them. I know that Hillary is the wife of Bill Clinton, and that she has loads of experience in politics. If I were to vote I would be choosing Hillary Clinton. From what I’ve heard, she has actual policies and would understand how to run a country.”

I asked the same question of Igor Igiria, a 16-year-old, Serbian-born Trump supporter who resides in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, near where President Bill Clinton authorized military intervention in the 1990s.

He said this: “Hillary doesn’t like Serbs, so I don’t like her.

I’m pretty sure that Trump will win, because he has millions of people in America who support him, like me. Trump loves Serbs, Russians and Europeans.”

With several more answers from eight different people, the majority of my friends would vote Clinton as our next president, leading 8 to 1. As for myself? I am a minority; I am a woman; I am a feminist; I also am only sixteen years old. But if I were to vote, I would for sure vote for Clinton.

ACTIVISTS USE MEGAPHONE TO DIS NEWSPAPER 4:35 p.m. First block of Florida Park Drive N. Complaint: Employees at the Palm Coast Observer locked themselves inside their office and called the Sheriff’s Office when political activists blocked the Observer’s shopping plaza entrance and exit with an RV, then used a megaphone to yell insults at the paper. There were four employees, none of them reporters, at the office at the time.

One of the activists approached the office while appearing to take video with a cell phone. The activists had plastered to the side of the RV pictures of aborted pictures, and one identified himself in a call to the office as an affiliate of an antiabortion activist, but that didn’t seem to be what they were shouting about on the megaphone.

“They were saying it was our fault that we’re letting Hillary (Clinton) do this, and how do we look past the WikiLeaks stuff, and shame on us for not outing Hillary,” the paper’s operations manager told a reporter. The RV left after a Sheriff’s Office vehicle arrived, according to a Sheriff’s Office dispatch transcript.

NOV. 1

CRAIGSLIST ‘BUYER’ STEALS MOTORCYCLE 7:04 p.m. First block of Hargrove Grade. Stolen vehicle: A 45-yearold man listed his 2003 Yamaha motorcycle on Craigslist, and a potential buyer showed up to meet him in the parking lot of an auto shop on Hargrove Grade.

The potential buyer arrived in a Buick driven by another man, according to a Sheriff’s Office case report. The buyer looked over the motorcycle and started it, and the seller told him he’d need to pay before taking it out on a test drive.

The buyer told him the money was in the Buick, then took off on the motorcycle, heading south on U.S. 1. The Buick then backed up, almost striking the seller’s 19-year-old son, and followed the motorcycle south on U.S. 1.

Deputies tracked the Buick to an Emmons Lane home. The car belonged to a 77-year-old man who lived with roommates and said he thought someone had been using his car without permission.

Part of the Sheriff’s Office case report is redacted.

MISSING PALM COAST MAN FOUND IN PORTA POTTY Flagler County sheriff’s deputies received a call at approximately 1:30 p.m. Nov. 8 to search for an elderly Palm Coast man who suffered from advanced dementia. According to the caller, the man was last seen walking away from his home on Becker Lane. Deputies searched on foot, and Flagler County FireFlight searched from the air, and eventually the 69 year-old-man was found using a porta potty near his home. He told deputies he had gone for a walk and needed to use the restroom.

He is OK and was returned to his home.

Emergency management planner escapes firing

Man charged with arson and insurance fraud

The former public safety emergency manager came to the defense of the emergency management planner, who was facing dismissal.

Firefighters found Harold Pizzetta sitting in a chair in his yard watching his house burn.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County Emergency Management Planner Jennifer Stagg will not be fired, but the county has suspended her for five days without pay and put her on notice that future unexcused tardiness or absenteeism could lead to her dismissal.

Stagg, who has been a county employee for six years, had been charged by her supervisor, Flagler County Public Safety Emergency Manager Steve Garten, with a slew of infractions: repeated absenteeism and lateness; insubordination; improper conduct; making false, vicious or malicious statements concerning another employee or a supervisor; and conduct unbecoming a public employee.

Former Public Safety Emergency Manager Kevin Guthrie came to Stagg’s defense in a public post on Facebook, calling news of her proposed firing “the most shocking news I have hear in probably 27 years of public safety,” and asking others to show up in her support at her pre-disciplinary hearing.

The hearing, overseen by Deputy County Administrator Sally Sherman and spread over three days, Oct. 31-Nov. 2, found many of the charges against Stagg unfounded.

A paper signed by Sherman enumerating the results of the hearing states that Sherman found charges of tardiness, absenteeism and insubordination by failing to comply with instructions were justified.

But for the other charges — improper conduct; making false, vicious or malicious statements concerning another employee or a supervisor; and conduct unbecoming a public employee — Sherman wrote that the evidence did not support the allegations.

“Based on the evidence and testimony submitted I did not fully support the recommendation for termination due to conflicts between testimony and the documentation by both parties which could not be resolved by me within the time allowed by the pre-disciplinary procedures,” Sherman wrote.

Sherman wrote that her assessment was that Stagg had not adhered to her work schedule; Sherman recommended the fiveday suspension without pay, to begin immediately. “Furthermore, consider this as a written notification that any further unexcused tardiness or unexcused absenteeism will result in further disciplinary action up to and including termination,” Sherman wrote.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A Palm Coast man has been charged with burning down his home in 2012 to profit off the insurance payout.

The fire happened at about 10:57 p.m. Oct. 30, 2012. Firefighters arrived to find Harold Pizzetta, now 58, sitting in a chair in the backyard of the home at 20 Woodstone Lane in Palm Coast, watching it burn.

Pizzetta owned the house with his ex-wife. The two were divorced but still living together up until a few couple of weeks before the fire, according to an arrest affidavit.

Exactly four years later, on Oct. 30 of this year, Pizzetta was arrested and charged with insurance fraud and first-degree arson.

Pizzetta had told firefighters he’d been inside the house when it burst into flames. Later, he told them that someone had broken into the house and set the fire, according to the arrest affidavit.

He was hospitalized for smoke inhalation and minor burns, and cocaine and Benzodiazepines were found in his blood.

A state fire marshal investigator arrived at 11:26 p.m. and found a gas can in the living room. The

carpet tested positive for gasoline. In interviews with the investigator, Pizzetta said he was the only one home at the time of the fire, but made conflicting statements about how and where it started, and what had happened beforehand.

Investigators also interviewed his ex-wife, who gave them voice and text messages Pizzetta had sent her before the fire. She’d filed an Oct. 17, 2012, complaint with police in Mobile, Alabama, where she’d moved: Pizzetta had been making threatening phone calls, she said, and she feared he was going to try to hurt her.

The messages she showed fire investigators said that Pizzetta did not want her to get the house or any money, according to the arrest affidavit.

The last message she’d received from Pizzetta stated, “I have lived a wonderful life, you can have it all, God will take care of you.”

Pizzetta and his ex-wife were both listed on the insurance policy for the house. After the fire, Pizzetta filed an insurance claim, stating that he’d been asleep when he woke up and found the kitchen on fire.

The claim conflicted with statements he’d made to investigators, and with the fact that the fire did not start in the kitchen.

The fire investigator concluded that Pizzetta “burned his house because he did not want his exwife to get any part of it.”

Farewell, Mayor Netts Residents, officials celebrate Mayor Jon Netts’ years of service to Palm Coast.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

P

alm Coast Mayor Jon Netts has been part of the city’s government almost since its incorporation — serving first on its code enforcement board, then as a city councilman before being elected mayor in 2007. At a celebration of Netts’ service Nov. 3, Palm Coast’s first mayor, James Canfield, called Netts “a great mayor for the city of Palm Coast and its people.”

“One of the things he operates with is a high degree of civility,” Canfield said. “Every speaker that comes to these meetings … is treated with courtesy, and with dignity.”

As are residents who’ve interacted with Netts outside of the formality of City Hall, Palm Coast resident Deleana Williams related from the podium at the event, which was attended by more than 100 people.

Williams said she’d asked Netts

this past September if he would write a letter of congratulations for her friend, Regina Wilson, in honor of Wilson’s 90th birthday.

She knew the mayor was busy. But he answered the same day.

“Now, I know that my request was not at the top of his to-do list; I’m well aware of that, Mr. Mayor.

But you sure treated it as if it were,” Williams said. Netts sent the letter in time for Wilson’s birthday party. “I wish you could have seen the look on my friend Regina Wilson’s face. You treated that small request as if it were on top of your to-do list. You made my friend’s day, and you made my day,” Williams said. “By your kindness, you have shown that you are more than ‘Mr. Mayor.’ You’re a man with a heart of gold.”

Wilson took the podium after Williams to say how much she appreciated the letter.

Netts led his last full City Council meeting Nov. 1. He’ll head a council workshop Nov. 8, and then initiate the formal Nov. 15 meeting before turning his seat over to mayor-elect Milissa Holland. Netts, having served two terms, is stepping down due to term limits.

Holland is a former Flagler County commissioner, and her father, Jim Holland, was a member of Palm Coast’s first City Council.

After Jim Holland died in 2002,

Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts

Milissa Holland said, Netts played a fatherly role in her life.

“I have the privilege of getting to know him as a family member,” she said. “He took on a very big role for me when I lost my father, and I can’t thank him enough. So these upcoming few years are not only big shoes to fill, but it’s also very personal to me. … I hope to do you proud.”

Netts credited city staff and his colleagues and predecessors on the city council with helping make the city what it is today.

“Our first mayor, Mayor Jim Canfield, and his first City Council took the time, took the effort, to develop a vision for what Palm Coast should be,” he said. “That

was a starting point. And in the six years on City Council, nine years as your mayor, I’ve tried to keep moving in that direction,” he said.

He said he’d be taking his place in the front row of the audience at council meetings after Holland takes his place. And, he said, to chuckles from the audience, “By golly, if she deviates from the path — I’m going to stand up and have something to say about it.”

After the ceremony, Netts enumerated some of the challenges of his time in office — working within a budget during the recession; resisting the “urge to do everything that everybody wanted,” and determining how to pay for stormwater management — and

some of his successes, like getting through the recession without cutting services, and helping develop a 5-10-20-year capital plan, with a 5-10-20-year budget to accompany it.

But one of his — and the city’s — greatest accomplishments, he said, was staying true to the vision that made the city so appealing to the many people who’ve chosen to make it home.

“It still has that same flavor, that same essence,” he said. Netts has often lauded Palm Coast for being “clean, green and marine.”

“It still is clean. It still is green,” he said. “We have lived up to the promises that we’ve made each other.”

A Season of Entertainment

County OKs new boundaries for officials’ social media and texting.

Something for Everyone!

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County government employees have a new a policy determining how they can use electronic devices and social media for work.

Most of the rules are common sense: Employees are supposed to minimize personal calls on county cell phones, refrain from using phones while driving unless they’re using hands-free technology, and use social media without publishing false or malicious statements about the county or county employees.

Other rules are less obvious: County employees aren’t allowed to use their county phones for texting unless they have advance permission, because an archiving system must be activated to retain the messages for public recordkeeping purposes.

And on social media, they’re allowed to engage only in oneway communication — from county employee to citizen — unless explicitly authorized by the county administrator. Social media messages also must be kept for public records purposes.

The new policy was approved by the County Commission Nov. 7 without discussion and replaces an internet usage policy that was enacted in 2007 and updated in 2011.

|

Gift Certificates Available!!!

Broadway Musical The annual cost of the new policy with the archiving service is $20,496, with a one-time startup cost of $1,905, according to county documents. That money has already been included in this year’s budget.

Also as part of the Nov. 7 agenda, the commission approved a $150,000 grant to the city of Palm Coast for construction of a restroom at the Indian Trails Sports Complex, the purchase of an emergency 911 software system for $48,300, and the purchase of additional modules for the 911 software the county already has through Tyler Technologies, formerly called New World Public Safety Software, for $136,439. The new software will provide centralized management of “Be On the Lookout” information, a 911 pre-arrival questionnaire system and upgrades to the county’s law enforcement and inmate facility records keeping systems.

Also: City starts second round of hurricane debris cleanup.

SELECT CARS, TRUCKS & SUV’S PLUS RATES AS LOW AS 0% FOR 72 MONTHS

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Palm Coast City Council took a formal vote Nov. 8 to fire the contractor its officials have held responsible for repeated delays in the renovation of Holland Park.

“I approve, and double approve,” City Council member Heidi Shipley said before the unanimous vote.

The city hired Tumbleson White Construction in 2015 on a $4 million contract, and closed the park for renovations Feb. 2, 2015. The project was supposed to take about a year and three months.

City Manager Jim Landon said Oct. 21 that the park was expected to open in 60-90 days, a time frame that would place its completion date at close to two full years from its start date.

Palm Coast city staff, frustrated with slow progress and complaints from subcontractors who were saying that Tumbleson wasn’t paying them on time, have taken over work on the project. Landon at an Oct. 18 council meeting had said he would direct the city attorney to begin canceling Tumbleson’s contract.

Palm Coast still has money for the project and expects to finish it within budget, with the bonding company paying for any additional costs related to Tumbleson’s firing, Landon said.

City staff are currently working on Holland Park’s landscaping and its playground, Landon said.

PALM COAST STARTS SECOND ROUND OF HURRICANE DEBRIS CLEANUP

Palm Coast contractors have started their second sweep of the city to pick up debris from Hurricane Matthew.

“We started the second pass yesterday, which is really good news for us,” Landon told the council at the Nov. 8 workshop.

“Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we’ll be back to our regular schedule.”

Waste Pro, the city’s regular garbage pickup contractor, is not collecting loose debris, Landon said, because that is reimbursable

by FEMA and will be handled by other contractors as part of the second pass.

Contractors have been stacking the city’s storm debris — about 100,000 cubic yards’ worth so far, or enough to fill about 30 Olympic-size swimming pools — at a city-owned property off U.S. 1.

Some of the debris is being mulched, and what can’t be mulched will be incinerated, Landon said. The incinerator should not create a smoke problem, he said.

“This incinerator is supposed to be a self-contained process, versus just lighting it,” he said.

The city hopes to begin the incineration soon, because large piles of debris can become a fire hazard themselves as decay begins, generating heat.

The incineration process won’t create a large amount of ash, Landon said, but the city will keep whatever ash it does create because the ash makes a good soil addition for plants.

Matanzas student Tased, arrested after fight with deputy BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

A voice message was sent to parents of Matanzas High School students this afternoon to inform them about an incident in which an 18-year-old student was arrested after a fight on campus.

The Sheriff’s Office later confirmed that a Taser was deployed to stun the student, who then submitted. Deputies rarely use Tasers in Flagler County; there were only eight deployments in 2015.

The principal, Dr. Earl Johnson, explained that Damien Thompson, 18, got into a fight after he was suspended and was told to leave the school. “ Sc h o o l a d m i n i s t ra to rs attempted to de-escalate the situation several times to no avail,” Johnson said. Then the school resource officer, John Landi, arrived and attempted to remove Thompson. He warned Thompson that if he didn’t leave, he would be committing a crime: trespassing.

“He had one handcuff on him, and that’s when the fight was on,” said Jim Troiano, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office. Thompson fought in the courtyard with Landi, who had minor scrapes and scratches as a result, according to the press release from the Sheriff’s Office. Landi was treated by paramedics at the scene.

FHCP Volusia Flagler Seminar OBO_10.375 x 8

Thompson was charged with trespassing on school property, resisting an officer with violence, battery of a law enforcement officer and battery of a school official.

Thompson wasn’t the only one: A 15-year-old Matanzas student is being charged with resisting with violence as a result of trying to interfere with Landi’s arrest. All students returned to their classrooms within five minutes of the incident, according to Johnson.

The phone call concludes with this from Johnson: “Matanzas High school will not tolerate incidents like this. We want to commend our Pirate scholars who act appropriately during these moments.”

Landi was involved in a similar incident in 2013, in which a Taser was used against a student at Matanzas.

“You hear ‘a high school student,’ and you think of little kids,” Troiano said. “Some of these kids are adults, and they’re as big as adults. ... These issues happen, especially dealing with young people. Many times, they don’t know how to control their temper.”

Amy Gibby has two children at the school, a senior and a sophomore. She said she feels her kids are safe at Matanzas. “It is a very good school,” she wrote in a Facebook message to the Observer.

She added: “I’m just glad it was taken care of.”

Silver Star: worth the wait Veterans will be celebrated with three days of events.

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

There are dates Ray Parker isn’t likely to forget. On July 4, 1970, he was involved in a battle in Vietnam that earned him two Bronze Stars and a Silver Star — but no one told him at the time about the Silver Star. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis will award him his Silver Star at the Freedom Fest at the Flagler Executive Airport.

May 5, 2014, can be added to Parker’s list of unforgettable dates.

“I was talking with Peter C. Langenus, who is also a friend, and was my commanding officer,” Parker said. “He was giving me a letter of reference, and it said, ‘Raymond Parker is a highly decorated infantry combat officer.’”

Parker questioned the wording.

He had been awarded two Bronze Stars, but he didn’t feel that made him highly decorated.

“He said, ‘Well, it’s your Silver Star,’” Parker recalled. “There was silence, and then I said, ‘What Silver Star?’”

For 46 years, Langenus thought Parker had received the Silver Star

for his actions on July 4, 1970.

The events of the first 12 hours of the Fourth of July that year are clear in Parker’s mind, down to the last detail. An airborne ranger with the 82nd airborne division, assigned to the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, his platoon’s job was to “get in and move fast.”

“My platoon was the point platoon, and we were to secure the landing zone,” Parker said. “We knew the enemy was there, but we didn’t realize how many. We walked into a horrendous contact battle. They had to leave us there.”

Parker estimated he had between 25 and 30 men with him, including Langenus.

“The enemy started standing up to shoot,” Parker said.

Parker aimed his rifle.

“I heard this ‘click.’ It didn’t fire,” he said. “He pulls up his AK, I see his eyes, and he tries to fire, and his rifle jammed. Our Kit Carson Scout (enemy soldiers that joined the Americans), Hung Tom, was with me. He stood up and shot that guy. Everything is blowing up all over the world, and he walks over, not paying attention to what’s going on, grabs the guy’s rifle out of his hands, pulls it open, takes the round out, and hands it to me.”

Tom didn’t speak English, but Parker knew the significance.

Claudia and Ray Parker

“I knew that round was important because that round had my name on it,” Parker said.

A second, “worse” battle occurred a couple of hours later, Parker said. It was a battle that went against all odds, and earned the platoon their Bronze Stars, and Parker’s Silver.

“You’ve heard the expression, ‘circle the wagons?’” he said. “We circled the platoon to 20 to 30 feet apart. There was phenomenal fire power and we were using up all of our ammunition.”

Parker has a topographic map where he can point out the hill he rolled down, away from his men, and onto a ledge. He threw grenades at the enemy in the ravine below, as they attempted to circle the Americans. The artillery was called in, gunships off the coast, and, above him, Col. Bibb Underwood was in a Cobra helicopter.

“Finally, the enemy just disappeared,” Parker said. “I went back up the hill — clearly I was in shock, the platoon was in shock — and Peter Langenus asked me, ‘Lt. Parker, would you like a Distinguished Service Cross?’”

The answer was a resounding “no.”

“The gist of it was, I was ashamed that we didn’t do better, and I thought that was the end of it.”

When Langenus realized Parker hadn’t received his medal, they began the process to correct the situation. With the help of his wife Claudia; Westmoreland Research; Randy Stapleford, the military and veterans coordinator for U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis; and confirmation by two eye witnesses — Underwood and Langenus — Parker received his award letter Oct. 19.

The delay was due to missing information in the daily officer’s report. There are several theories on what may have happened.

“It’s not the entire day,” Claudia Parker said. “It’s the first 12 hours.

Nothing was written, and that’s when the incident happened.”

At ten hundred hours (10 a.m.), on Friday, Nov. 11, 2016, at the Freedom Fest at the Flagler County Airport, Parker will be finally be awarded the Silver Star, the United States military’s third-highest decoration for valor in combat.

FREEDOM FEST Freedom Fest is a three-day celebration, beginning at 10 a.m., Friday, Nov. 11. Following the ceremony, those who served in the military anywhere in the world between 1955 and 1975 will be invited up to receive service pins. Throughout the weekend the Vietnam traveling memorial wall will be on display. There will be military aircraft, bi-plane rides, vendors, food and fireworks on Saturday night.

SPORTS A win, a coaching change JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

T

he Flagler Palm Coast Bulldogs (3-6) ended their season with a 40-13 blowout win over the Seabreeze Sandcrabs Friday, Nov. 4, at FPC. The win featured underclassmen who showed signs of promise for the future, but head coach Tommy Moody won’t be the man to lead them.

FPC Athletics Director Steve DeAugustino notified Moody the Friday after the Mandarin loss that he would not be returning to coach next season.

“I felt we became stagnant on offense, defense, with the team play in general,” DeAugustino said. “It’s not just about wins and losses, but I feel like we need a breath of fresh air. Tommy has been a great coach, a great person to work with, but I just didn’t see us progressing this year.”

The Bulldogs won seven games but lost 12 over the last two seasons.

When asked his thoughts on the firing, Moody said, “Two years is not enough, but if they want someone else in the position, that’s fine. Hopefully whoever they get will do better. What we do is for the kids. So, I wouldn’t want the next guy to do worse.”

Based on their opponents’ schedule, the Bulldogs played one of the toughest schedules in the state. All six of their losses came by way of playoff teams, except Mandarin, which played in a district three-way tie with Spruce Creek and Sandalwood.

Going forward, DeAugustino says the program will post the job, and it will begin the interview process.

SEASON FINALE RECAP Senior running back Que’Shaun Byrd got off to a quick start, scoring a 65yard rushing touchdown on the second

play of the game. After just his third run of the night, Byrd had run for 163 and two scores. He would finish with 188 yards, leaving in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Sophomore Jimmie Robinson picked up where Byrd left off, catching a 58yard touchdown reception just before halftime and scoring a four-yard score run in the third quarter.

After giving up two straight touchdowns, the Bulldogs responded with a trick play that turned into a score.

Thomas connected with Garrett Linton on an out route, and Linton found a wide open Anfernee Brown in the end zone for a 32-yard touchdown pass.

To cap off the night and send the Bulldogs into the offseason, freshman Ty Jenkins ran in a score from five yards to put FPC up 40-13.

aving watched every level of football throughout my life, I consider — in my humble opinion — former NFL running back Barry Sanders the best player of all time. He was a once-in-a-generation talent, and you share some of his qualities.

I first saw you play against Seabreeze three years ago in the first game I covered in Flagler County. You rushed for nearly 250 yards, including a 92-yard touchdown run. I knew you were special then, but it was the following season where I became a “Byrdliever.” (Yes, I just made that up).

In a losing effort to Matanzas, when the Pirates had you trapped in the backfield, I found myself thinking, “Byrd’s going to lose a ton of yards on this run.”

Except you would make everyone miss, and turn nothing into something. You consistently pull this off, and that’s one of the reasons you remind me of Sanders.

I never saw you wear glasses, but “Four-eyes” would be an appropriate on-the-field nickname for you. You run with such control that it appears you can see from every direction.

That’s uncoachable — and seems impossible— but you’ve made it a habit to juke out defenders you couldn’t have possibly seen, which is another Barry Sanders quality.

This past Friday, I saw you play your final high school game, against Seabreeze. You wasted no time leaving your mark on the field, as you ran 188 yards, including a 65-yard score on the second play of the game and an 84-yard score on your very next carry.

For the past three seasons, I thought you were a senior. I couldn’t fathom a sophomore — or junior — doing the things you frequently performed on the field.

I hate the fact you had to play these last two years with an inexperienced team. There’s no telling what could’ve been if defenses had to prepare for more than just you.

But now that your high school career is over, college football awaits you. Although most schools still haven’t reached out to you, I’m sure one will take a chance, and I have full confidence that you will make everyone a “Byrdliever.”

You’ve made my first three years as a professional journalist a pleasure for me, and I can’t wait to update Flagler County about your college football success.

PORTUGUESE AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER HOSTS TOURNAMENT The Portuguese American Cultural Center of Palm Coast hosted its sixth-annual North v.

South Golf Tournament last month, attracting nearly 100 participants. In addition to the tournament, scholarships for 10 students with Portuguese ancestry received $20,500 from the funds raised by the tournament. The scholarship funds, while awarded to the students, go directly to the schools they attend.

The money and the success of this effort is due to the collaboration of golfers who fundraise through the annual North vs. South Golf Tournament, where golfers from northern states play against golfers from the southern states on three local golf courses: St. Johns in St. Augustine, Halifax Plantation and The Conservatory at Hammock Beach.

COMMUNITY EDITOR

Samantha’s cravings could cost me, if I don’t start putting my purse away.

Breeze, 33384589, is a 3-yearold female cat, available at the Flagler Humane Society.

I

walked into the bedroom to find my purse open on the bed, all of the contents dumped out of it. I knew immediately I hadn’t been robbed, because the responsible party didn’t steal my money: She tore it up.

The responsible party was our cat, Samantha. My hubby wanted to blame Buddy, the Jack Russell, but Buddy would have eaten the money, and I would have found it ... elsewhere, if you know what I mean.

Samantha’s job as a cat is to play with things. It’s interesting to me what captures her attention. I don’t know why she decided to investigate my purse, pull out my wallet, and extract two one-dollar bills, which she apparently determined must be taken out of

When I put Samantha back onto the bed, she settled right into the contents of the emptied purse.

circulation. She left the $10 and $5 bill, for which I thank her.

Though I missed what must have been a lot of fun, I can picture the scene as she rolled around on the bed with the money, tossing it in the air and ripping it with her claws.

It was wet and torn, but not digested.

I have heard that most

money has some form of drug residual on it, making me wonder what might have been only on those two bills – she left the other two in the wallet. Was that money used to buy catnip?

There is an eating disorder called pica, a condition that has been diagnosed in humans and animals. Pica is the persistent eating of things

that have no nutritional value.

Since my money wasn’t eaten, I don’t think Samantha has the condition. She just likes to play.

I have considered taping the bills back together, but it’s probably easier just to tell my bank teller, “My cat ‘ate’ my money,” and get them exchanged.

TEACHING WITH TECH

Belle Terre Class turns to Osmo for education and fun JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Photos by Jacque Estes

Samantha North, Carley Tawbush and Matthew Bentley work together on the spelling Osmo.

Samantha North, Carley Tawbush and Matthew Bentley were talking in class.

The three first-grade students in Brooke Oke’s class at Belle Terre Elementary huddled in front of the mounted iPad, helping each other figure out what the image on the iPad was, and how to spell it. Oke is proud of the way her students have adapted and excelled on Osmo, a new program created by former Google employees.

“They’re over there talking about it, and solving it, and they are doing it all on their own,” Oke said.

Samantha, Carley and Matthew were stumped. The picture on the screen is a girl on a water slide.

The word they are looking for has five letters. Slide would fit, but when the “s” is put under the red reflector that attaches to the top of the iPad, the letter isn’t right.

“What I like about these programs is, it’s pretty challenging,” Oke said. “You think it’s going to be ‘water’ or ‘slide,’ but it gives them the abstract thinking they need to have.”

The students have all but one letter, the first one. They have _-l-u-m-e, the missing letter?

squares under the reflector until she has added the right combination that totals 20.

“They are thinking ahead, which is a huge skill that has gotten lost in recent years,” Oke said.

The program started out in her classroom, but has been picked up by the school. Oke has purchased some of the programs with grants, the school purchased a program with the “A” funds, and she had purchased some programs herself. Oke is now an ambassador with Osmo, which provides constant communication between her and the corporation.

F for flume. The answer brings more questions: What is a flume?

Matthew said he likes it because he is learning new words and his spelling is improving.

“I like it because it helps me spell a word, and it helps to learn,” Carley said.

“The reason I like this game is I like to be with people and work with them,” Samantha added.

On the other side of the classroom, Aberi Nelson is learning coding on a new program Oke showed her that morning. This is Aberi’s first time with this learning game. Oke explained the program to the 6-year-old, and by 10 a.m. she was totally engaged in the process.

“This is the beginning stages of coding,” Oke said. “It takes them through, step by step, on how to get this little guy through the forest to eat a strawberry.”

Aberi clapped as she successfully maneuvered the monster up the screen in his quest.

“I like how cute the monster is,” Aberi said. “I’m learning that I can make him go so he can get to the strawberries.”

Across from Aberi, Grace Exantus is doing what she likes — math. The class has been learning how to add two numbers together, with Osmo she is adding multiple digits.

WNZF praised for work after Hurricane Matthew After Hurricane Matthew took aim at Flagler County on Oct. 6-7, local radio station WNZF helped emergency management officials communicate updates to people who’d lost power.

Sheriff Jim Manfre told WNZF General Manager David Ayres that he and his hurricane team were vital in helping people get information.

“We were fortunate to have one radio station that provided so much communication with our community,” Manfre said.

Manfre said that when electronic signals failed to reach cell phones, laptops and tablets following Hurricane Matthew, radio served a critical role.

WNZF staffers stayed at the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center the entire weekend, broadcasting interviews with the sheriff and other emergency management officials. They shared information about forecasts, shelters, road closures, where to find food and water, and the wait for bridges to reopen.

Another official praised WNZF, as well: John Mills, with external affairs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

On “Free For All Friday” Nov. 4, Mills said, “Recover begins and ends at the local level.” He said WNZF played a key role in making sure local residents were informed about the stages of recovery.
