Band members of The NED shaved their heads in support of the lead guitarist’s mother, Michelle Lynn George.

“We have gone from NED heads to skin heads,” Evi Menshchikova said, as she admired her new appearance. Evi and five others volunteered to shave their heads in support of one woman, Michelle Lynn George, who was recently diagnosed with stagethree breast cancer.

George is the mother of lead guitarist and vocalist, Trace George, of local band The NED. Within minutes, loose hair from the band and their friends covered the patio outside of the Flagler Board Shack on Saturday, Dec. 5, in support of Michelle and breast cancer awareness.

“We didn’t expect anyone besides the band to shave their heads today,” said Justyn Perry, the band’s manager.

“Honestly, I did not plan on shaving my head,” Connor O’Brien said in return. “I have known these guys since sophomore year of high school, so I am happy to support Trace’s mom.”

Hair stylist Celia Whitefield, of New Beginnings Salon & Spa, donated her time and expertise to shave the supporters’ heads.

For the George family, breast cancer is not uncommon. “We lost my aunt last year to breast cancer, so we knew it was a possibility my mother would also

“Through shaving our heads, we hope to raise breast cancer awareness and to show her our support — let her know she is not going through this alone. The most important thing I can do is to give her a hug, comfort her and tell her I love her.”

“At first, the chemo made some of my hair fall out, so I ended up getting a pixie-cut,” Michelle George said. “But then on Thanksgiving Day all my hair started to fall out in clumps, SEE NED PAGE 11A

In Florida, a city that wants to start its own ambulance service needs the permission of its county government. Sometimes counties won’t give it, and legislation proposed by Sen. Travis Hutson and Rep. Paul Renner would let cities appeal such denials before a judge.

The city of Palm Coast is backing the proposed legislation. But Flagler County — which has resisted Palm Coast’s proposals that the city create its own ambulance service — opposes it.

“Basically, it says that if you deny somebody (permission), they’re allowed to take it to court,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said in a County Commission workshop Dec. 7. “We think this is bad legislation.”

The proposed legislation, Coffey said, “really shows a lack of understanding of how EMS actually works in this state. ... And we are fixing something that’s not broke.”

He noted that the legal change being proposed would allow anyone to apply for the paperwork — called a COPCN, or Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity — to create an ambulance service, including private companies that could push more accountable government-run EMS services out of business.

“The city would lose local control, and the county would lose local control,” he said.

And because the proposed legislation’s standards for whether or not an applicant should receive a certificate are based in part on whether it can provide ambulance services at lesser cost than the current provider, he said, it could create an incentive for counties to fire more experienced, higher-paid

City, county at odds over EMS services

comments added in red — where he found the city’s data inaccurate, and the allegation of a duplication of services untrue.

“We were a little disturbed with some of the information that was presented there, and feel the need to set the record straight,” he said.

Coffey said that much of the city’s dissatisfaction with its current arrangement with the county — in which city and county first responders both respond to medical calls, but the city, unable to run ambulances, sends costlierto-maintain fire trucks — stems from the fact that the city has set itself what Coffey called an “arbitrary” EMS response time goal of five minutes, which it hasn’t been able to meet.

Coffey said the city’s five-minute standard is higher even than the American Heart Association’s, which is 8-10 minutes.

“If you try to pick an arbitrary standard, it will drive costs, and it will create conflict,” he said. “We have not chosen a five-minute standard, because it will eat half our budget.”

Coffey called one slide in the presentation “garbage.” The slide

displayed a pie chart that showed five county-run ambulances in the unincorporated county and cities other than Palm Coast (together representing about 30% of the total county population), and just two county ambulances in Palm Coast, which represents almost 70% of the total county population. County fire trucks respond to calls throughout the county, including in Palm Coast.

“They know better. They see our ambulances throughout the city,” he said. “Why they would choose to intentionally show the board this kind of garbage, I have no idea. ... This has purposely misled the county, the legislators and the public.”

Coffey said there are ways the city can save money on EMS. It sends too many fire trucks to crash scenes, he said, and sends its ladder trucks to medical calls, which the county does not. It could also save money on medical calls by using inexpensive “jump trucks” that cost less than $50,000 each, rather than sending out full fire trucks — an idea Beadle also proposed in the city presentation.

Both the city and the county

have proposed holding a joint City Council/County Commission meeting to come to some kind of agreement.

In a City Council meeting the next day, Dec. 8, City Manager Jim Landon said he’d scheduled a meeting with Coffey and other officials.

Councilman Steve Nobile said that was a start, but he wants more direct communication.

“What I don’t understand is, Chief Beadle gave us a presentation, he had a list of possibilities — why was it the county’s objective to go through those or pick out the ones that maybe they didn’t like, and attack them before we could even have a conversation?” he said. “I really want to sit down with the commission and the council. You know, it’s really getting annoying.”

Landon said the city is hoping to hold such a council/commission meeting after the holidays.

“Hopefully they will agree to that,” he said. “We’re going into this with the idea that we could do this better if we work together.”

“This is not going to save anybody any money. This is just going to redetermine who gets more money. It’s going split it ... It’s no coordination and no rules. ... You might have fighting over patients.”

EMS workers in favor of younger, less-experienced ones. Meanwhile, private services could cut corners by having less training and older equipment. “Lawsuits will happen across the state,” he said.

“Guarantee that they will happen.

I don’t know where they’ll happen, but they’ll happen.”

And if everyone has the right to transport, Coffey said, “your efficiencies go out the window. ...

This is not going to save anybody any money. This is just going to redetermine who gets more money. It’s going split it ... It’s no coordination and no rules.”

Coffey said that the current system also protects public safety by giving counties “a hammer” they can use against any EMS service that’s negligent or not meeting it’s obligations: The county can yank its COPCN. But if the certificate is issued by a judge, that accountability system is eliminated, he said.

Coffey also went through a lengthy PowerPoint presentation shown at a City Council meeting last week about what the city called a city/county duplication of EMS services, pointing out — with

NO CRAYON LEFT BEHIND

FPC sophomore combines her love for children, and environmental awareness, by repurposing discarded crayons.

Jacque Estes

Bree Barron, a sophomore at Flagler Palm Coast High School, holds a handful of donated crayons to be used in her Community Problem Solving project, No Crayon Left Behind.

CRAYOLA HISTORY

JACQUE ESTES

1903 Noticing a need for safe, quality, affordable wax crayons, the company produces the first box of eight Crayola crayons containing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown, and black sticks. It sells for a nickel. The Crayola name, coined by Edwin Binney’s wife Alice, comes from “craie,” the French word for chalk, and “ola,” from “oleaginous.”

TODAY Crayola makes approximately 12 million crayons each year.

hile many homes will be filled with the scent of pine needles and tasty treats from the oven during the holidays, the smell of melting wax will be the primary scent in Bree Barron’s home.

The wax will be orphaned crayons — broken, small and discarded. Bree is saving them from a landfill fate, while helping Flagler elementary students with special needs.

“I am collecting the crayons, melting them down and putting them into molds to make larger crayons that will be easier for the children to use,” Bree said.

The idea for the project, which Bree is taking on through FPC teacher Diane Tomko’s class, came from a couple different sources.

While she was a counselor at Camp I am Special in Fruit Cove (St. Johns County) this past summer, Bree saw first-hand some of the challenges facing the ESE children, and the generosity of others who wanted to help.

DONATIONS

Donations of crayons, pots for melting, wooden spoons, and cookie cutters can be taken to the reception desk at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Please put “Diane Tomko” on the bag. Schools will be closed for the holidays from Dec. 21 through Jan. 3.

“I have this love for the children and wanted to do something for them,” she said. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do until I was in this class researching about environmental things, and came across a man in California who was collecting the crayons left behind at restaurants. I put two and two together and decided to repurpose crayons for our children in the ESE department.”

Her project has included emailing all of the elementary principals in the county to tell them what she wants to do, visiting classes and consulting ESE specialists. She also created a PowerPoint to detail what she hopes to accomplish.

All Community Problem Solving projects are entered into the statewide competition in the spring.

Donations have been important to her project. She has boxes full of crayons, cookie cutters and molds.

After she put her information on the school district website, the donations started arriving. Sometimes bags of crayons are delivered to her class; other times, teachers hand her a bag of crayons as she is walking down the hall toward her next class.

“I am trying to do a holiday theme, and other things,” she said.

“A dolphin would be a good example. It curves and is bigger, making it easier to hold, and it tapers to a point for coloring.”

The next step is to melt the crayons and pour them into the molds.

This is going to require some experimentation over the holiday break from school, and help from friends and the members of her youth group at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. Delegating work is also part of the overall project.

“I am going to begin experimenting over my Christmas break,” she said. “I am gathering up my supplies. I may use pots.

There are web sites that show some people use crock pots.”

After the first of the year, class schedules will change and she will no longer be in Diane Tomko’s class. She plans to continue the project and expects to be able to deliver the redesigned and repackaged crayons to the children in the ESE classes in January.

“I have this love for the children and wanted to do something for them.”

Old Kings widening planned The segment to be widened extends from Palm Coast Parkway to Forest Grove Drive.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast plans to widen Old Kings Road to four lanes from Palm Coast Parkway to Forest Grove Drive, a stretch of 3.3 miles that is to include 8-foot-wide pedestrian paths on either side of the road.

One traffic signal will be replaced, and the city hopes the design plan will be finalized by the spring of 2016.

But although design for the widening is 60% complete, the city doesn’t have a way to fund the project, which officials expect to cost about $15 million to $20 million. It hopes the state will do that.

“This is our top priority when we go before the (Florida Department of Transportation) with our list of projects for funding,” city construction managPUBLIC er Carl Cote MEETING told the City 6-8 p.m. Dec. Council in a 15 at the Palm presentation Coast Comat a council munity Center, workshop at 305 Palm Dec. 8.

Coast ParkCity Manway Northeast a ge r Jim Landon said the city isn’t putting its own money aside for the project and doesn’t plan to, and he suggested the City Council not break ground on the project without state funding.

City Councilman Bill McGuire asked him what will happen if it’s not forthcoming.

“So what’s our drop dead date where we say, ‘Well, either we’re going to get FDOT funding or we’re not’?” McGuire asked.

“I don’t think it’s whether we’re going get it or not get it,” Landon said. “We’re going to get it. I would encourage you to continue to stay that path, because a $20 million project for us is virtually — well, extremely difficult.”

City Mayor Jon Netts noted that the state agency has long considered Old Kings Road a “reliever road” for Interstate 95. “If I-95 shuts down for whatever reason, Old Kings is the only reasonable bypass,” he said.

Landon said that’s the “only reason they’re willing to fund it, because it’s definitely off of their system.”

After the design phase, the city will begin the right of way phase, identifying property it needs for easements and pursuing purchases. Only then will it be able to move on to the construction phase, if it gets the state money.

Landon noted in response to a question from McGuire that there’s a false rumor circulating that the connection of Forest Grove to Old Kings will shut down.

It will not, he said, except perhaps briefly for construction. What will close, said Cote, is the Forest Grove connection at Palm Harbor Parkway; there will be a cul-desac at the end of Forest Grove Drive and Forest Grove will no longer be a cut-through from Palm Harbor Parkway to Old Kings Road.

Flagler County will provide $25,000 in tourism event funding for the Spartan Race planned for November of next year at the Cracker Ranch in southern Flagler County.

The County Commission voted unanimously at Dec. 7 meeting to approve the funding for the obstacle course race, which was moved to the Cracker Ranch after its original planned location — Princess Place Preserve — led to an outcry from residents concerned about its environmental impact after the local online news source FlaglerLive.com ran a news story about it. The race date was also moved back, from March of 2016 to November 2016.

But despite the fact that both the date of the race and its venue have changed since the county’s Tourist Development Council last heard about it, the event did not appear before the TDC again for approval before the County Commission’s vote, something Commissioner Charlie Ericksen brought up during the commission meeting.

“I noticed that ... the TDC itself, I don’t know if they had to, but they did not reconsider the new location or anything else that’s come up on this. Is there a reason for that?” Ericksen said.

“As far as I can see, TDC did not see this new location.”

It hadn’t, County Administrator Craig Coffey said. But Coffey said that wasn’t unusual.

“They don’t review any locations,” he said. “We’ve never done that for any events. The Board of County Commissioners has never reviewed any locations, how the police are handled, how fire’s handled, where the runner parking had happened. TDC only approves funding. And that’s what we’re bringing you today with this (agenda) item; it’s just a funding request to support a large event.”

Coffey noted that the event will now be held on private land, not county land, and that the county has a year to plan for fire, police and emergency medical services issues.

“TDC is just advisory on the funding only,” he said. “They don’t say, ‘This is a good place (or) bad place for soccer, for lacrosse, for cribbage, any of that stuff.”

“So where then does the planning of the event get reviewed by our county?” Commissioner Barbara Revels asked.

“If it’s at our facility, we review any events, whether it’s TDC or not,” Coffey said. “We have a

special event process. We review them and bring police and fire and EMS together; if it’s on our property we’ll bring appropriate parks people. ... If we go down the special process where we review every venue for every event, we will be at a competitive disadvantage with every TDC service in the state.”

Coffey said Spartan will pay for law enforcement and emergency services at the race site, and might use a private medical company.

The proposed Spartan Race is expected to bring in about 6,000 competitors.

The Cracker Ranch, a location off of U.S.1 in southern Flagler which been used for four-wheeling in the past, has had events that have drawn 2,000 people, Coffey said.

Although the Spartan event will be much larger, the county has “worked through the details to increase the areas that we have to work with,” Coffey said at the meeting.

Coffey said the obstacles proposed for the Cracker Ranch location are more intensive than those that had been proposed for Princess Place.

Coffey has said in previous interviews with the Palm Coast Observer that the overall economic impact of the Spartan Race is expected to be about $3.9 million, with a direct visitor spending impact of $2.38 million.

County OKs $25,000 per year Belle Terre pool subsidy JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club, threatened with closure, is getting a lifeline from the Flagler County administration.

The county will contribute $25,000 per year to help keep the facility operating, commissioners decided in a Monday, Dec. 7 Flagler County Commission workshop.

The facility, an old ITT property which the Flagler County School Board acquired in 1995, has been the subject of a grassroots effort by its users to save it after the board proposed closing it. It has a gym, pool and tennis courts popular with local seniors, but it loses money annually, and the School Board can’t use most of its state funding to pay for it because it’s not a K-12 educational facility, Flagler Technical Institute Director Kevin McCarthy told county commissioners at the workshop.

“We don’t have any tax dollars we can use,” he said. But, he said, “It is a value added benefit to the citizens of Flagler County, and especially to our seniors.”

County Administrator Craig Coffey told commissioners that School District Superintendent Jacob Oliva had approached the county about the possibility of partnering to keep the facility

open, much like the county and the school district had on the Carver Gym — a facility once threatened with closure that is now thriving.

“It’s always helpful when you can partner together,” Coffey said.

“This is a way for us to do some active senior recreation that we don’t do. ... So, we weren’t really going to worry about or try to gauge really how they’re going to spend the dollars, as much as we were just going to require them to provide senior programming, allow the senior access.” One of the School Board’s proposals had been closing the facility to nonschool use, to make it eligible for state education funding.

Doug Courtney, head of the Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club Advisory Committee — a group of club members fighting to keep the facility open — said the group has raised 235-250 annual memberships and about $50,000.

The County Commission’s decision on the $25,000 subsidy isn’t final; it has to go back before the School Board for consideration before a final vote will be taken at the County Commission. But the board reached a consensus at the workshop to provide the money.

“We want to do whatever we can, because it’s such a dedicated group of people out there,” County Commissioner George Hanns said.

“This is more of a long-term strategy, that if the membership can stay up, we can continue contributing as a senior program. If they cease to exist, or things change in the future, obviously we won’t be bound to continue this.”

CRAIG COFFEY, county administrator

To you it’s about making the right choice...To us, it’s personal.

Oh, Christmas tree, you’re finally up

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Our Christmas tree is one of those fake trees where you have to install each branch separately. It takes what feels like several hours to put up, and then you have to add the lights and the ornaments. This year, we have the added complication of a 1-year-old.

At one point during this

family project, Kennedy crawled over and started yanking on a low-hanging branch, threatening to topple the whole endeavor.

“Kennedy, what part of ‘You’re in the way’ do you not understand?” my wife, Hailey, said, as she moved the baby to the other end of the room for the sixteenth time. Kennedy looked up at her with a quizzical look, as if to say, “Is that a rhetorical quesion, or do you really want me to answer?”

The kids wanted Kennedy to join in, but Hailey shook her head, saying, “We have to keep Kennedy away because otherwise she’ll tear up the presents.”

Grant, my 9-year-old,

thought about that and said, “But then we can find out what we get sooner.”

My role in the decorating is to suggest cost control measures.

“Are you sure we need that fifth strand of lights?” I asked.

“I already bought them, so we might as well use them,” Hailey said, winding tiny lights around the tree.

“But if you return that box, we can save $2,”I said.

She kept winding.

“Two bucks is two bucks, after all,” I said.

She kept winding. She was almost to the top of the tree.

“You know, to reduce our carbon footprint,” I said, “and reduce our power bill.”

“There,” she said, admiring our shining tree.

After a few more ornament fights between the kids, and another fight about the name of our Elf on the Shelf, we were ready to officially declare that Christmas season had begun.

Then I found another garbage bag.

This one contained a second tree, about two feet tall, with lights already around the branches, creating a pleasant golden glow when plugged in.

“Maybe we can put this one in our bedroom,” I said. “You know, for romantic effect.”

But Hailey didn’t respond.

She must not have heard me because she was vacuuming up all the fake needles.

Although not quite complete, we now have a clear picture of the finished product, and it’s very impressive. Most important, you can already see the positive effect on midday traffic.

The safety fencing on the overpass is nicely done, and

the new lighting fits in with Palm Coast’s character and ambiance. The new trees, shrubs and ground cover from Cyprus Point/Boulder Rock to Florida Park are especially attractive thanks to our professional landscape architect and his team.

This new highly visible “gateway” to our city will surely impress visitors and prospective business investors.

I must add that the redesigned shopping plaza is also well done and much welcomed.

It appears to be well designed

with attractive architecture and fairly easy access and egress. All in all, a great job by the city — its leaders, planners and operational staff.

MIKE COCCHIOLA Palm Coast

Palm Coast Parkway: a job well done Dear Editor: The Town Fathers deserve a big “Thank You” for these improvements. The aesthetics

for both roads are beautiful, and the traffic movement on Palm Coast Parkway is far and away better than when there were two lanes.

I have always been a proud to be a part of Palm Coast, but I am even more so since these improvements have been completed. Great job to all.

Local governments serving themselves, not the people Dear Editor: I am relatively new to the area, but, in the two years I have lived here, the two governments which supposedly represent the people really have their own self-interest at the top of their agenda.

It is easy to see that total change is needed. First, the City Council demonstrated its concern for democracy by not permitting a review of the City Charter. What do they have to hide? Why the total disregard for the democratic process?

However, they are quite eager to give themselves a 200% salary increase. I want a job like that.

They just purchased two fire trucks for a small fortune and yet the fire chief says that most of the calls are for ambulance service. He wants control of the ambulance service.

Palm Coast seems to spend more money on landscaping and pretty grass than people’s needs.

The constant bickering between the two governments leads anyone with common sense to ask why they are all getting re-elected.

I am in favor of eliminating the city of Palm Coast and letting it fall under the governance of the county. Think of all the money that would be saved, all the duplication of services that could be eliminated, and the County Commission is already overpaid and underworked, so no pay raise would be needed.

Government has become so far removed from everyday citizens. If you are wealthy, belong to an influential group or yell and scream a lot, you probably will be heard. I, like most of the people I know, are not in those categories.

We are coming into another election season. It no longer is the average citizen who can run and win because the process has become so tainted. Everyone divides along Democrat or Republican lines, and usually that means little can be accomplished. The city, county and School Board, along with sheriff and many other elected officials, should be non-political because the goal used to be service to the people.

I study the issues and vote in almost every election. Most of the time, I am very frustrated with government. It is because the same incompetent people or those with friends with money get elected. Start with change here locally, and no one knows what could happen.

Democracy is dead: Long live the king.

LARRY PULOS Palm Coast

On proper display of the U.S. flag Dear Editor: It is very heartwarming and patriotic to observe so many residents and businesses flying the U.S. flag. I only want to mention a couple of basic rules to follow when displaying our flag.

Never display the American

A modest proposal: Allow bottle clubs to stimulate economy Dear Editor: I think that “bottle clubs” in Palm Coast are a great idea, a real win-win! It will stimulate the economy here!

First, you have more booze sales from the booze stores and rent collected from the landlord.

Second, it will give people a venue to get anger off their shoulders, through the many arguments and fights that will more than likely happen as people get drunker.

Third, it will keep some people more physically fit with the drunken brawls that will surely happen.

Fourth, it should generate extra revenue at the Emergency Room at Flagler Hospital because of the injured, not-so-fit losers of the brawls.

Now comes the real benefits, if the country plays its cards right! You station sevFlag if it is ripped, torn, tattered or faded. Never fly the flag at night unless, it is lighted. Take unserviceable flags to Veterans of Foreign Wars or the Disabled American Veterans, and they will willingly dispose of them in the manner prescribed by law. Both of these organizations can be found in the Flagler County telephone directory or the online White Pages. You can Google them for their locations and hours.

Again, my sincere thanks

eral sheriff’s cars close to the exit of the club! They pull over as many vehicles leaving for any reason at all, such as no complete stop, or anything. I am sure the police know them all. The DUI rate will skyrocket, generating a revenue stream for the bail bond company, revenue for the city, state, county, with the fines leveled.

Generate an extra stream of revenue for the attorneys and the insurance companies, as they double or triple your rates, and if business is real good, maybe an extra sheriff may be in the works, too? It’s a grand idea to help stimulate the economy in Flagler.

We should look at least having two clubs, one on each side of town. Just think of all the benefits!

Nothing good happens at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning!

BRIEFS Missing Palm Coast girl found safe in Ormond

The Town Center fountain during a previous sudsing incident, on Nov. 10.

NOV. 30

SUDSY SABOTAGE 8:35 a.m. 600 block of Central Avenue. Criminal mischief: For at least the second time in a month, the fountain on Central Avenue in Central Park overflowed with bubbles after someone dumped soap into it.

“The fountain was completely engulfed in bubbles and/or suds,” a deputy wrote in a case report after the area property manager called the report the soapy mess. “The water could not be seen due to the amount of bubbles as they were approximately 3 feet high.”

The property manager told the deputy that the soap does damage the fountain, and estimated the damage at about $250.

A local landscaping company “has to be called out to clean up the mess and then a pool service has to be contacted to respond to clean the fountain,” according to the official report.

The property manager told the deputy that it had happened at least once before. It had: The fountain was overflowing with bubbles before a 6:30 p.m. City Council meeting on Nov. 10.

Nov. 30 and before 9:22 a.m.

Dec. 1. There were no suspects, but a deputy wrote in a report that it was garbage day that morning, and several persons drive that area the night before pickup looking for scrap.

Kimble Medley files to run for elections supervisor Kimble Medley, a former Flagler County deputy elections supervisor and former deputy clerk of court, has filed to run for Flagler County supervisor of elections.

This is her second run for the position: Medley, a Republican, also ran for elections supervisor in 2012, losing to Kimberle Weeks, a Democrat.

Medley recently graduated from the Flagler Chamber’s first Flagler Public Leadership Institute class, and is now the third person to file for the 2016 Flagler County supervisor of elections race.

The elections supervisor position is now held by an interim elections supervisor, Kaiti Lenhart. Lenhart was deputy elections supervisor when Weeks stepped down suddenly after Weeks was arrestedand charged with 12 felony counts pertaining to the illegal recording of private conversations.

Lenhart, through the governor’s appointment, took Weeks’ place.

Lenhart, a Republican, has

ANOTHER GRINCH STEALS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS Someone stole Star Shower Laser lights from a local man’s yard, the second time in a week such a theft has happened.

A 14-year-old Indian Trails Middle School student who didn’t return home from school Dec. 4 has been found safe, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release.

The Sheriff’s Office sent the local press a news release at 12:07 a.m. Dec. 4 saying that the girl, a resident of Palm Coast’s F Section, hadn’t come home from school and might be in the Ormond Beach area with an “adult male known only as ‘Mario.’”

The girl had sent text messages through social media from school saying she did not want to ride the bus home, and “Mario” sent her a text message “offering to pick her up from school presumably to take her home,” according to the news release. “She is believed to have been seen getting into his car with him voluntarily,” the release continued.

Flagler County deputies searched for her at night with help from Volusia County deputies and Ormond Beach police officers.

At 5:48 a.m. Dec. 4, the Sheriff’s Office sent another news release saying the girl had been found “safe and uninjured” in Ormond Beach between 4:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., and was heading back to Flagler County.

“Any possible charges are still being determined,” according to the news release.

O’Brien has been a Flagler resident since 1990 and is the co-owner and chief financial officer of Hayward Brown-Flagler Insurance. He ran for the Florida House in 2012, but withdrew from the race.

O’Brien told the Palm Coast Observer in a previous interview in May that he would run, but only if Hanns decided not to run for re-election.

Hanns said at the time that he would make that decision in January, but told local online news source FlaglerLive.com in late October that he has decided to run again.

O’Brien is so far the only one to have formally filed with the Elections Office as a candidate for the County Commission District 5 race.

County Commission candidate Mark Richter drops out Flagler County Commission candidate Mark Richter has dropped out of the race for the District 1 seat, saying in his formal letter of withdrawal to interim Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart that he is preparing to move out of the county.

The District 1 seat is now held by Commissioner Charlie Ericksen.

Richter was among the Ronald Reagan Republican Assembly members who filed complaints against county officials. Hearings in those cases have repeatedly cleared the officials.

He ran unsuccessfully for the District 4 seat against incumbent County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin in 2014.

The idea to share menorah stories came from Rabbi Zev Sonnenstein. “One of my former congregants smuggled their menorah out of Germany during World War II,” Sonnenstein explained. “It was the only piece of their heritage they managed to get out of the country. The story made such an impression on me, it made me want to hear everyone else’s story.”

Each guest who brought a menorah was given an opportunity to share its history.

“This menorah belonged to my grandpa, who was a great artist,” said 8-year-old Hayden Barron.

“He passed away, but he used to paint landscapes.” The menorah was made to look like an artist’s easel.

“This was the first menorah I ever bought,” Elaine Camerin said.

“I got it in 1965, which makes it 50 years old.”

OKES AND I3 ACADEMY STUDENTS JOIN FORCES TO FEED THE HUNGRY AND SAVE THE BEACH Ellen Sperber’s Old Kings Elementary second-grade class, and Courtney VandeBunte’s i3 Academy ninth-grade class worked together learning about the nutritional value of homegrown food, the economic value of purchasing produce from local farms, and the effect of beach erosion.

The classes wrote a cookbook featuring recipes that target specific macro molecules. They also attended a “shelter social” hosted by the 2015 i3 BioLit students who spoke about nutrition and the importance of feeding the homeless in the community. The event ended in a feast featuring the cookbook recipes, prepared by FPC’s culinary students, who used locally grown food, including vegetables grown in the second grade class garden.

After the social, the students participated in S.T.E.A.M. night at OKES, and led groups through a station showing the growing of endangered sea oats and virtual garden building on iPads.

The next class collaboration will be in the Spring when they will plant the sea oats on Flagler beaches.

Dozens of Flagler County officials, local business professionals and students will cut the ribbon at the newly expanded HOPE Garden and will then plant healthy vegetables during a special ceremony honoring the public and private collaboration that created it.

The ribbon-cutting and planting ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. Dec.14. All are invited to attend.

“This project is a perfect example of what a community can do when there is true collabora-

HOPE (Helping Others Provide Encouragement) Garden is located at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street and South Bacher Street on Housing Authority Property that formerly housed large, concrete supports and propane tanks. The garden was created through a public and private collaboration.

SPORTS I’ll take the bench in this one Tiara Sankar has found her sports love in an unlikely place.

S

he’s a second-degree black belt. As a swimmer, she was coached

by Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte’s sister. She’s even a pretty good guitar player. But, when she got to high school, junior Tiara Sankar had trouble finding her passion — until she found weightlifting.

Looking for her place in sports as a freshman, Sankar went out for volleyball, and, at the first conditioning practice, she had to run a mile and then up and down the stadium. She didn’t return.

Next up was cheerleading.

According to Sankar, her mother always wanted her to be “a girlygirl, but that wasn’t my thing.

I wasn’t too happy with it,” she said. Sankar didn’t make the squad, so she tried basketball.

“I was always OK at basketball, so, when I tried out, I thought I would make the team, but I didn’t,” she said. “I was kind of shocked.”

After three failed attempts to land a spot on a team, Sankar took a break from looking for others.

“I felt embarrassed, and I fell into a bit of depression,” she said.

Then she found weightlifting.

“I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with it, but, after the

Sanker is looking to reach the state competition this season.

first practice, I was completely engulfed with the idea of weightlifting,” Sankar said. “I wanted to eat right, train hard and go to the gym every day.”

Sankar says weightlifting helped her recover from the depression. Although her first day was a bit tough, seeing she had difficulty holding up the 45-pound bar, Sankar knew weightlifting was different. She wasn’t a fan of cardio exercise, which the others were full of, but she was willing to work at getting stronger.

Fast forward to this season: Sankar has already become a school record holder, overtaking FPC alum Darien Halliday, one of her biggest motivators, in the 101-pound bench mark, with 110 pounds.

“I’ve come a long way in two years,” she said. “I now look at myself like Wow! I went from 45 to 110 pounds. Weightlifting is for me; I found what I like to do, and I’m doing it. I’m not unhappy that I didn’t make those teams because I’m very happy with where I am now.”

Flagler Palm Coast finished behind Spruce Creek in the five-team meet on Thursday, Dec. 4, at FPC. The total scores were Spruce Creek 78, FPC 48, New Smyrna 47, Seabreeze 16, University 15 and Crescent City 3.

Drew Woodall finished first in the 110 division with 120-110-230 and broke the school bench record with 120 pounds.

Tiara Sankar finished third in the 101 with 110105-215 and broke the school bench record with a 110 pounds. Jessica Roberts finished third in the 119 with 115-130-245 and broke the school clean-and-jerk record with 130 pounds and the total with 245 pounds.

Ashley Harris finished first in the 183 with 155-170-325, and Darbi Wilbanks finished also took first in the 199 with 170-160-330. Jeanette Thomas finished 3rd in the 154 with 130-130-260.

I am special needs JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

A

few weeks ago, I wrote a story about Matanzas senior running back Daniel Dillard and his relationship with a student with special needs, Michael Bailey. Dillard told me he loved spending time with these students, and, when I asked why, he said, “They love unconditionally, and there isn’t a lot, if anything, they dislike.

They are happy, and I want to be happy and appreciate things like that.” While at the Seabreeze Special Olympics Unified game last Friday, I better understood him.

Being completely honest, when I first saw the students walking into the gym, I felt sorry for them. I thought of the many reasons I wouldn’t want to be in that position, but, as I watched them glow on the court, I began to feel sorry for myself and the rest of the “normal” world. Even in the warmup line, a made free throw to them seemed like a clutch game-winning shot to the kids; they were ecstatic.

And, when the crowd cheered for a made basket during the game, the joy of being praised was evident on their faces. It’s been a few days, but I still can remember the way they celebrated each other’s baskets, jumping up and down on the court while pumping up the crowd.

Their happiness I saw and the happiness Dillard talked about seem to be a normal personality for kids with special needs.

Any sane individual can observe their lives and conclude that they handle life a lot better than we “regular” people do. That’s probably why, whenever I do see Dillard, he tends to have a smile on his face; he surrounds himself with students who always seem to smile, even though others might look at down on them.

From now on, when I see kids with special needs smiling and enjoying every day, as if it is truly a gift, I will still look upon them as having special needs, but I will also be reminded that I have special needs. I need help loving unconditionally like they do. I need help enjoying life and the things I do have. I need help to see more of the good in all people, as opposed to looking at everyone with a critic’s eye.

Because I was never clinically diagnosed with needing assistance for a medical, mental or psychological disability does not mean that I can’t be honest with myself and see my special needs.

THE UNBEATENS These Flagler County high school teams have yet to be defeated in their young seasons, as of Dec. 8.

FPC boys basketball (6-0) FPC lost a number of seniors this past season, but the Bulldogs got senior Nysean Giddens, who is averaging 18 points per game, back from injury and other key contributors who have helped keep the Dawgs undefeated. After winning their district last year, the FPC came up short of a Final Four appearance. With Giddens back in form, FPC is already headed to make another run.

The Bulldogs play Mandarin Friday, Dec. 12, at FPC.

FPC girls basketball (8-0) Coming off of their deepest postseason run in the program’s history, the Final Four contenders seem hungrier. The Lady Bulldogs have revamped their roster, after losing Armani Walker, and are charging for a return to Lakeland, headed by senior Tamara Henshaw. One of their latest wins, over Potter’s House, came only by four points, but they have handled everyone else easily, including a 62-47 win over, then, undefeated Father Lopez.

The Lady Dawgs will play Lafayette and Ferguson this weekend in the Andy Hart Memorial Tournament in Mayo.

Matanzas soccer (7-0)

The Lady Bulldogs are trying to reach the 8A Final Four for a second consecutive season. while assisting on nearly as many made shots. Senior Dakotah Casale leads the Pirates in goals (11) and assists (7), and sophomore Steven Grange follows with six goals and five assists.

The Pirates will look to keep their streak alive, when they play Clay Friday, Dec. 11, at Matanzas.

NAUGHTY Parade:

NICE

Studio Z Fitness performers dance in sync for the assembled crowd.

Santa opted to take a ride with the Flagler Beach Fire Department, instead of parachuting into town, for the holiday parade Saturday, Dec. 6.

R

ain clouds blocked out the sun as parade floats made their way through the streets of Flagler Beach on Saturday, Dec. 6. Due to the rain, Santa decided to take a ride on a Flagler Beach fire engine instead of following the tradition of parachuting onto the sand just north of the pier.

Starting at North Sixth Street, the parade went on as planned. Children laughed, waved to Santa and received candy, unmindful of the rain.

Different parade floats held performances to impress the judges at the intersection of Oceanshore Boulevard and State Road 100, for a chance to win a trophy for Best of Parade.

Directly after the parade concluded at South Sixth Street, all the children were invited to escape the worsening weather and enjoy a party with Santa at the Fire Department.

MHS marching band volunteer hands out candy to Shea, Greyson and Mackenna Walter.

“Flagler Beach is the perfect place to be for the holidays.”

All they want for Christmas — is you

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

According to Amazon.com, the top pet gifts this year are kitty convict collars, shock collars for dogs, crates for dogs and cats,

oatmeal shampoo, a grooming comb and other items that I can’t see my cat or dog putting on their list. I still can’t believe a shock collar was on their list.

Cats and dogs aren’t like kids.

They don’t need the most expensive and newest toy. They don’t care if Duke next door got a Frisbee, or if Matilda the cat got a new scratching pad.

What your pet wants most for Christmas is you! How easy is that?

Take them for a walk, brush them (if they enjoy that), curl up

on the couch and watch an old movie. Don’t answer the phone or the door. Sit, stay and enjoy.

Repeat as often as necessary.

Of course we will all put things under the tree for our pets. Here are a couple of favorites from the Estes household.

Samantha the cat likes boxes, all sizes and shapes. I’ve never understood how hard it could be to catch a cat. In our house, as soon as a box is empty it is full of cat.

Then there’s the priceless paper balls. Wad up a piece of paper, toss it, and Samantha is happy for hours — well a lot of minutes. Flip on a narrow-beam flash light or laser pointer, and watch the oldest of cats become kittens again as they pounce.

Kodi isn’t all so difficult to buy for either. He likes treats, walks, treats, belly rubs and treats. Keep the treats healthy and simple.

Many store-bought chews have a lot of salt. Peel, wash and slice a sweet potato. Bake at 350 degrees until it’s dried out, cool and voila: a healthy treat. There are more complex doggie cookies you can make, but why?

The holidays are stressful enough, spend time with your pet; it will be good for you and great for them.

GUEST PETS OF THE WEEK True and Kaos are flat coat retrievers. True is 4 years old and Kaos is almost 2 years old. Thanks to Bonita Layfield for sharing this loveable photo. Send your photos to jacque@palmcoastobserver.com.

JOB WELL DONE I was told there were “penny wars” sponsored by the school student council at Indian Trails Middle School. It was a war to raise money for the pets awaiting adoption at the Flagler

Humane Society. During lunches, the students placed their pennies in the seventh- or eighthgrade collection bins.

After five days the school raised $152.41 for the animals, just in time for the holidays. Great work, Indian Trails Middle School students!

Lit up with dazzling Christmas lights and inflatable Santa Clauses, 23 boats made their way down the Intracoastal starting from Cimmaron Basin in Palm Coast. The route took the procession south past Tidelands, Canopy Walk, St. Joe Walkway, Waterfront Park and Island Estates before making its way back to Clubhouse Waterway.

“Every year, people take the opportunity to host parties from their docks and marvel as the parade goes by,” event coordinator Sarah Ulis said. “Palm Coast residents come together and really make this event a success.”

The fusion of art and music at Salvo Art Project Salvo Art’s Petra Iston: ‘The kids are absolutely amazing; their talents are inspirational.’

The students practice with instructors twice a week for one hour each at Indian Trails Middle School. They also practice at home. “On my own, I practice for 45 minutes every day, not including weekends, on top of the time spent with an instructor,” Harmony Chamber Orchestra member Grant Hendrickson said.

“Our goal is to have every one of our students be sound players,” Tristam said. “To the point where, reasonably within their skill range, if a student was randomly handed

The Flagler Youth Orchestra was also preparing for its first big show of the season, a concert at the Flagler Auditorium on Dec. 9.

“Playing in front of a large crowd at a concert can be nerve-wracking, but it is always so rewarding to perform for my family and friends after weeks of hard work and dedication.”

Thirty Flagler Youth Orchestra students performed a full string concert at the Salvo Art Project Friday, Dec. 4.

“We were really looking forward to the performance this year, after seeing last year’s concert, which was magical,” Salvo Art Project co-owner Petra Iston said. “The kids are absolutely amazing; their talents are inspirational.”

The orchestra was composed of violins, violas, cellos and string basses. The young musicians performed Aaron Copland’s “Red Pony” and Camille Saint-Saens’ “Carnival of the Animals,” among others, for an audience of about 90 people. The students were members of the youth orchestra’s most advanced division, called the Harmony Chamber Orchestra.

“This has been a great opportunity for the students to explore the inspiring artwork throughout Salvo Art,” Flagler Youth Orchestra Executive Director Cheryl Tristam said. “It is important to introduce them to other opportunities and to help them expand their interests.”

The Flagler Youth Orchestra has been established in Palm Coast for the last 11 years.

Currently the program has more than 370 students ranging in ages of 8 to 19 years old. The orchestra gives children an opportunity to

Pause4Paws: community problem solving for the dogs — and cats Sometimes having a fur coat is not enough — other times, it is way too much.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Not having a pet doesn’t mean you don’t want to help them. At least, that’s the case with five sophomores in Diane Tomko’s class at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

The five girls, Janine Jao, Nicole Perilli, Rida Muneer, Mia Scarecella, and Kayla Colandrea, chose animal welfare as their Community Problem Solving Project, even though two don’t have pets, and one is allergic to cats.

“We were brainstorming projects and this is the one we were passionate about,” Rida said.

The project, called Pause4Paws, focuses on the dangers of pet exposure to extreme temperatures, with a goal of increasing community awareness at all age levels. “Learning about how many animals this affects ... it tore at our heartstrings,” Mia said.

The project has enjoyed successes: Local veterinarians have let the girls place their information brochures in waiting rooms, and the project has been in Bark, a national dog magazine.

Not all of the students’ work

is done in the classroom, or even during school hours.

“We’ve been going to elementary schools,” Nicole said. “Last week we went to Bunnell and talked to seven classes of fifth and sixth graders. We used Mia’s dog, Stella.”

No harm came to Stella; the girls talked about what could happen if the dog was locked inside a car where the temperature could rise to 120 degrees in a short time on a hot day, and what would happen if she was left out on a cold night.

Having a dog as part of the team helped the students give a face to their mission.

The team has been at First Friday in Flagler Beach and Flagler Focus, a school district event where they had a banner for people to sign, pledging their support for the project.

The banner, which currently bears about 200 signatures, will be carried in the Palm Coast Starlight Holiday Parade on Saturday, Dec. 12.

“We want to make everyone

aware, not just one group of people,” Kayla said. “I didn’t know half of what I know now about how to take care of your animals in the heat and cold.”

Students involved in this class have to be self-motivated and make their own deadlines.

“Two hours is not a lot of time for what we want to do, so we put in a lot of time after school and on weekends,” Mia said. “It’s how far you want to take your project.”

This team wants to make theirs a multi-year project. They are

HOW TO HELP A DOG IN A HOT CAR Take down the car’s make, model and license-plate number.

If there are businesses nearby, notify their managers or security guards and ask them to make an announcement to find the car’s owner. If the owner can’t be found, call the non-emergency number of the local police or animal control and wait by the car for them to arrive.

nearing the end of their semester in Tomko’s class, but plan on continuing on their own and returning next year, as a team, to carry on.

They will also be working toward the state competition in March 2016 in Orlando. Each team that competes at the state level is required to make a scrap book of sorts that documents their process and their successes.

The group has been partnering with Flagler Humane Society and hopes to be able to make changes in the future on a state level — specifically, getting legislation passed that makes it illegal to leave dogs unattended in cars.

“They can’t help themselves; you are the only one who can help them,” Kayla said. “They aren’t the ones locking themselves in the car.”

Teaching life skills to reduce stress WORKSHOP SCHEDULES

Workshops have been scheduled to teach mindfulness.

MONDAY, DEC. 14 n Matanzas High School, 9-11 a.m. Student Leadership Training n Matanzas High School 2:15-3:15 p.m. Teacher Stress Management Workshop n Buddy Taylor Middle Noon - 1:15 p.m. - Yoga and Mindfulness Student Training

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Being a kid, especially a teenager, is hard. Being an adult who deals with kids can also be difficult.

Pat Williams, master life coach, knows this and has a plan for Flagler.

Williams, a Palm Coast resident, is the founder of Coaching the Global Village. The nonprofit organization will present training workshops to promote wellness in Flagler County.

“Three schools agreed to participate, at no cost to them: Bunnell Elementary, Matanzas High School and Buddy Taylor Middle School,” Williams said. “It’s training leadership coaching for community development all over the world. This year we partnered with Michael Eisen, motivational speaker and founder of the Youth Wellness Network.”

The initial program is being funded by a State Farm grant. William hopes that additional sponsors and businesses will want to become involved in the future.

“There were 890 applications and 64 grants awarded,” Williams said. “We were given a grant for $30,000.”

The program is about wellness beyond exercise and nutrition.

The programs delve into student decisions on dating, drugs, learning, attitude and emotions.

TUESDAY, DEC. 15 n Matanzas High School 2:15-3:30 p.m. Yoga and Mindfulness Student Training

Jacque Estes

Pat Williams, founder of Coaching the Global Village.

“Each school receives full service mental health prevention and wellness programs implemented to help students, teachers and parents overcome the challenges associated with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and even bullying,” Williams said.

Students will be trained in mindfulness, meditation, and yoga.

“High school kids have stress — their peers, parents, families, and financial stress,” he said. “The teachers will be coached by my coaches and the youth groups will

be coached by my coaches, but we aren’t going to tell them what to do, we are going to ask, ‘How can you create programs within your school that will promote wellness concepts for your kids?’”

The programs and workshops are not limited to the students enrolled at the three schools. They are open to anyone who is interested.

“Hopefully we can create something that will have sustainability,” he said. “We are planning a wellness fair in May. I would like to see this districtwide by next year.”

PROGRAM GOALS n Decrease student stress levels n Provide strategies for students to

develop resiliency, self-esteem, positive mental and emotional health, etc n Prevent mental health challenges from developing into serious issues. n Promote an outlook focused on learning and growing instead of the pressure to produce results. n Create a new culture in the school focused around optimism and happiness

Flagler Chamber gets new VP Heather Edwards has been promoted to vice president of the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce. Edwards, who joined the Chamber in August 2008, will continue to oversee production of the chamber’s print and multimedia products, while expanding her leadership role to supervise staff and some day-to-day operations.

The Chamber is also seeking nominations for its secondannual Business Excellence Awards, which will be held Friday, Jan. 29, 2016. The deadline for submissions is Jan. 8, 2016.

Contact Rebecca DeLorenzo for more details at 437-0106.

Bank of America donates to Family Life Center Bank of America recently donated a $5,000 grant to the Family Life Center at the center’s Board Facilitated Staff Appreciation Lunch a few weeks ago.

“We are so grateful to Bank of America for their support of the Family Life Center,” said Executive Director of the Family Life Center Trish Giaccone.

“These types of donations from the business community allow us to keep providing services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Flagler County.”

Family Life Center’s 24-hour hotline is 437-3505, the Rape hotline is 888-956-RAPE (7273) and the domestic violence hotline is 800-500-1119.

Florida Hospital trains teachers in robotic surgery Academic coaches from Rymfire Elementary School joined Florida Hospital Flagler gynecologist Dr. Steven Brown and his surgical team for a two-hour robotics surgery training on Friday, Nov. 18, at the hospital.

During the training, Rymfire Elementary School educators Donelle Evensen, Lashakia Moore and Janie Ruddy had the opportunity to manipulate the da Vinci Surgical System to better understand the advantages that robotics can bring to surgeons like Brown.

This training session provided teachers with lesson ideas for their students in K-6 in the Rymfire Elementary Flagship Medical Lab, the centerpiece for the elementary school’s flagship program that focuses on medical sciences, health and fitness. The Flagship Program is a part of a districtwide “Classroom to Careers” effort that encourages students to explore, discover and succeed through project-based learning and community partnerships.

“The robot was definitely impressive. But, even more impressive, for me, is the respect that each member of the surgical team had for each other’s opinions and ideas,” Moore said.

“Collaboration is one of the core strengths that we want our students to develop in middle school. I could really see the power of collaboration in our visit today.”

A book drive down reading lane, at Kumon In honor of National Book Month, Kumon Math and Reading Center of Palm Coast held a children’s book drive and collected 443 to donate to the Kiwanis Club of Flagler County’s Just 1 Book program.

The number of books came from many of the students at Kumon. This is the sixth year Mita Tomerlin, Center Director of Kumon, has encouraged her students to participate in a charitable book drive. The first year, 150 were collected, and the students and families of Kumon have since tripled that number.

The students did have

an incentive to donate the books: a $20 Amazon gift card was presented to the person that donated the most books. Ryan Sammelman was the winner with 125 donated books.

The books are later distributed to local organizations throughout Flagler County.

The Kiwanis Club brought the Just 1 Book program to the area in 2012. This program was created by a young girl, Sarah DeWitz of Orlando, Florida in 2010 with the mentality that “Just 1 Book Would Make the Difference in the Life of a Child.” It is now a statewide organization, helping put books in the hands of children with help from the likes of Kumon.
