IS IT CHRISTMAS YET?

The city will displace the league three times this spring to make room for visiting teams at Indian Trails Sports Complex. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast Little League has held practices and games at Indian Trails Sports Complex for close to a decade. But the city has shoved the players off their home base to make way for out-of-owners bringing in out-of-town dollars, and league officials are calling foul. The dispute centers around two weekends and a week this coming spring. The city wants them for a tournament and a visiting high school team. The league, which has a contract with the city, says it should have priority. League Vice President Doug Berryhill brought copies of that contract to a City Council meeting Dec. 15, saying the city had violated the terms under which it’s supposed to handle allocation of the fields, and that it has done so rudely — simply ordering the league to step aside after the city made an agreement with an outof-town, for-profit league. “That contract stipulates that we have preferred participant

This weekend, the Palm Coast volunteer firefighters visited a hero. Over the Thanksgiving break there was a fire on Kentucky Avenue. A 7-year-old student from the Imagine School remembered what he was taught by the Palm Coast Fire Department: Stay low, crawl, and have a meeting place outside. That helped 7-year-old Miller Clayton save his 4-year-old brother’s life. Sunday, the Palm Coast volunteers brought Santa Claus to visit Miller and his family.

The orange construction barrels on Palm Coast Parkway are gone. So is the heavy equipment. And the six-laning of the busiest part of the road — a $10.5 million city project that began in March 2014 — is finally over. The city of Palm Coast celebrated the achievement with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by about two dozen people, including local officials and staff, on the lawn in front of the Palm Coast Community Center on Palm Coast Parkway at 9 a.m. Dec. 10. Morning traffic rushed west in the background as Mayor Jon Netts marked the occasion with a speech, noting how far the young city has come.

The fixes are expected to cost much more than the county budgeted.

“If I had a dollar for every time somebody told me, ‘I remember when Palm Coast had one traffic light,’ I’d be a rich man,” he said. “But over the past 40 years, our city has seen expansion and growth as businesses and residents have continued to move to our community. To address this growth, City Council approved a plan for upgrading and widening our main thoroughfare, Palm Coast Parkway, along its busiest points.” The portion of the road the city widened is 1.23 miles long, stretching between Florida Park Drive in the east and the Cypress Point Parkway/Boulder Rock intersection in the west. Workers upgraded signals and signs, and added walking paths, curbs and gutters along the entire project

length, Netts said. “Now the I-95 overpass is much safer for people who walk and bike,” Netts said. “This new stretch of Palm Coast Parkway enhances our gateway to Palm Coast, telling everybody that they’ve arrived at someplace very special. The brand new infrastructure also enforces our environmental beauty, Palm Coast’s signature character and identity.” Netts said the project was worth the patience it required of commuters. “Your patience has been rewarded with a major roadway that is safe, attractive and less congested,” he said. “With the successful completion of our Palm Coast Parkway six-laning, I can proudly add that this community is a great place to live, work, play — and drive.”

Flagler County has recovered 18 months worth of Sheriff’s Office records briefly lost after the county’s computer systems crashed in late October. “All lost files have been restored and we are fully functional. That’s very good news, folks,” County Administrator Craig Coffey told county commissioners at a Dec.

7 County Commission workshop. Then Coffey gave commissioners the bad news: The breakdown of the county’s Computer Aided Dispatch system revealed larger problems that the county will have to fix, and it won’t be cheap. The county has budgeted $600,000 for IT issues. But the Sheriff’s Office needs another $275,000 or so to fix its IT issues, plus about $50,000 for hardware and software. Then the county needs about $175,000 to upgrade its systems. Coffey predicted that the county will have IT expenses for the next four or five years. The county

cut back on its tech spending during the economic downturn, he said, and let itself get behind. “If you’re fixing up a jalopy and the jalopy keeps breaking down, you might have to replace the jalopy,” Coffey said. “Sometimes it’s not the mechanic’s fault. And that’s kind of where we’re at.” Commissioner Nate McLaughlin didn’t want to see a repeat of the IT debacle in the future. “It’s important to keep up once we get caught up,” he said. “It gets behind you so quickly, and especially in the computer world. It’s just the world we live in.”

MITZVAH DAY

Huggables to bring holiday cheer The Palm Coast chapter of Hadassah brought 100 stuffed animals to give to residents of Flagler Pines Nursing Home on Tuesday, Dec. 15.

“I appreciate your presents. It has really put me in the holiday mood,” Flakadene Tidmore said. “His name will be Special; he has a permanent smile on his face.”

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

“I have three others, one of which also has white fur,” Flakadene Tidmore began to say, after receiving her Huggables gift. Tidmore is a resident of Flagler Pines Nursing Home. “Oh, would you like me to bring you one with a different color?” a Hadassah member asked. “No, no, no! I love it. I really love it,” Tidmore said, as she gazed down and admired her new friend. The Palm Coast chapter of Hadassah has made it an annual tradition to bring the residents of Flagler Pines Nursing Home stuffed animals. So far the organization has given about 1,320 Huggables to seniors in Flagler County over the course of 12 years. “Well, my mother had Alzheimer’s,” Sondra Cogan said, founder of the Huggables tradition. “Her stuffed animals always covered her bed, and I saw how she treated them as her

friends.” The Hadassah adopted the idea and has been collecting the toys year-round ever since. “We have chosen to come to Flagler Pines year after year because the residents seem really grateful to receive the gifts,” she continued. “Now they look forward to us coming every year.” This year, the residents also received a special dance performance by Flagler County’s Hanalei Dancers. Residents were encouraged to sing and dance along to familiar songs with the dancers, such as “Silent Night.” “I am so grateful these women take their time to come and help us have a nice holiday,” Flagler Pines resident Marjorie Gnassi said. “It would not feel like Christmas without their visit.”

“Mitzvah Day: to do a kindness to create happiness.” DIANE SCHWALB, Chairman of the Palm Coast chapter of Hadassah

A 25-year-old woman jumped into the Intracoastal Waterway and swam to the other side Dec. 9 to escape deputies investigating a possible burglary. It didn’t work. The young woman, 25-yearold Nichole Leah Headley, was met by deputies when she emerged on the waterway’s east side. (She pulled the stunt just days after news broke that another Florida burglary suspect seeking aquatic refuge from police was killed by an alligator in a Brevard County lake.) Headley, a Palm Coast resident, was known to local cops: She’d been repeatedly arrested for driving on a suspended license. While swimming east across the waterway, she told the deputies she didn’t want to talk to them because she was on probation. A deputy radioed for other deputies to stop her where she emerged on the waterway’s east side. Two deputies who saw her come out of the water shouted at her to stop, but she ran away instead. The deputies ran after her and caught her in a vacant lot at 28 Island Estates Parkway. She “appeared to be very intoxicated,” according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. A neighbor who spoke to a deputy after Headley was arrested told the deputy that Headley had said she’d slept out on the lanai at 47 Waterview Drive the previous night. Deputies searched Headley and found cocaine and pills. As deputies secured her, she said, “All of my money better be there. I know you cops are crooked.” She banged her head against the partition inside the police cruiser and “voiced her negative opinion of law enforcement to all the deputies on the scene,” according to the report, then “verbally assaulted” staff at Florida Hospital Flagler before she was cleared to be taken to the county jail. Headley was arrested on multiple charges.

See something, say something While keeping the memories of Sept. 11, as well as the recent terrorist attacks in Paris and in California in mind, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is once again urging citizens to be observant of their surroundings and immediately report all suspicious activity to their local law enforcement agency. A phrase that should be used and taught to all is “See Something, Say Something.” This phrase is part of a national campaign.

Sheriff: old Palm Coast ISIS threats not credible

“He is lovely. He will keep me company,” Margaret Goulding said.

In March this year, there were ISIS threats that specifically mentioned Palm Coast. They were investigated and determined to not be credible. Although again reported by some in the media following the attacks in Paris, there are no known threats to Palm Coast or Flagler County at this time, according to Sheriff James Manfre.

city wasn’t following the lottery process outlined in the contract because the teams it had attracted were there for tournaments, and the contract doesn’t specifically address tournaments. “There is a misunderstanding,” Landon said. “In this case, we’re not allocating the use of those fields to this other organization; this is a tournament. ... This is the first time we’ve been able to recruit baseball tournaments for a couple of weekends. This is something that came through the Tourism Development Council. ... So this is in essence a city event on city fields.” “We’re not allocating the fields to an outside organization,” he continued. “We’ve been given clear direction to go out and recruit tournaments, working with TDC.

If another group wants to use the fields, it continues, “The proportional usage shall be based upon a lottery system ... in which the Little League would be awarded a number of draws proportionate to the number of participants in the programs of the Little League” relative to other organizations’ programs. That never happened, Johnan wrote. “Little League has received no notification from the city regarding a lottery of any type,” he wrote. At the meeting Dec. 15, City Manager Jim Landon said the

rights in terms of those fields during that time period,” Berryhill told council members during the meeting’s public comment period. “If entities outside of the Little League are to be allocated time slots at the Indian Trails Sports Complex, there’s a process that has to be used.” But the process wasn’t followed, Berryhill said. Instead, the league simply received an email Nov. 17 from Parks and Recreation Director Luanne Santangelo saying the league would have to play and practice elsewhere April 22-24 and May 20-22 to make way for a forprofit league called Triple Crown Sports, and share the facility with a visiting high school baseball team March 26 to April 1. Santangelo wrote that the Little League could use the fields at Seminole Woods Neighborhood Park and Holland Park, facilities Berryhill called inadequate. Patrick Johnan, writing for the Little League’s board, emailed City Council members and the city administration last week to say the city’s actions violated its contract with the league. The league “believes the benefit of travel baseball/softball tournaments in no way justifies the city violating the terms of the agreement between the city and PCLL,” he wrote. “The children of Palm Coast should not be penalized (through) the contracting of city facilities to ‘for profit’ organizations.” The city’s contract with the league gives it preferential “pro-

Do we need more Flagler schools? As the housing market improves, the need for schools also increases. JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

Flagler County is growing, but it doesn’t need new schools — yet. A School Board workshop on Dec. 15 focused on how to be ready for a growing school population. Currently there are approximately 12,000 students, with classroom capacity for 14,626. Chairwoman Colleen Conklin said she thought the subject should be reviewed annually. Thomas Harowski, president of TMH Consulting, identified projected developments, stating that Palm Coast Town Center is eventually expected to add 900 units. Palm Coast Park, in the northern section, has a projected 250 units. “This is the one positioned to take benefit from the Matanzas interchange when that comes,” Harowski said. He cautioned the board that state enrollment projections have a history of “running high.” The next expected construction will be a third high school in the district. “We should be in decent shape for the next five years,” Conklin said.

A THIRD HIGH SCHOOL? The next expected construction will be a third high school in the district, but not for five years. The full PowerPoint presentation can be seen at http://www. boarddocs. com/fla/flcsd/ Board.nsf/ Public

the fields, I guarantee you soccer would be happy to say, ‘We trump any lacrosse tournament.’” Landon noted that the city has a contract with Little League because the league added a building at Indian Trails Sports Complex, so it has more of a stake in the facility. But, he said, it also doesn’t pay for the upkeep of the fields — something the tournaments help with. “A few years ago, we proposed that all our local groups help pay for the maintenance of our fields, and those groups came out and said, ‘Whoa whoa, we are not for profit. ... We really don’t want to pay a fee to use the fields.’ Which is very unusual. But we all agreed that a good way to fund the maintenance was … to go out and recruit tournaments,” Landon said. Councilman Bill McGuire asked how much it cost to maintain the facility. Landon didn’t have a number available, but said it was “substantial.” Councilman Steve Nobile was wary of Landon’s understanding that the contract’s process doesn’t pertain to tournaments. “I don’t want to use ‘tomayto, tomahto,’ ‘well this isn’t this and this isn’t that.’ I just want to show them that we’re appreciative of their community service,” he said. “What I don’t want to do is create an unnecessary or high level of heartache for a local community event. ... I just want to make sure we’re working with them closely.”

Shopping in ‘Star Wars’ country

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

I like to play a game when I go to the store: How many steps can I take before I get to the next “Star Wars” merchandise display? The other day, as I was in line to buy some plastic “Star Wars” cups for my kids (well, I’ll probably keep the retro Han Solo cup), I noticed that the woman next to me in the checkout line was buying some “Star Wars” mascara. Not sure if it was the Princess Leia edition, or the Chewbacca edition.

City and Observer fail to report the facts on economic success Dear Editor: I read with interest the Palm Coast Observer’s special section on Business in the Dec. 10 issue. In a piece headlined Business Outlook 2015 vs. 2016, News Editor Wayne Grant took a look at Palm Coast and Ormond Beach’s business outlook. Grant’s article included one interview with Beau Falgout, economic development planner for Palm Coast. Aside from a discussion about retail and residential construction trends, the article discussed two manufacturing firms in Flagler County, Sea Ray and Designs for Health. Falgout claimed success by the city of Palm Coast for Sea Ray’s expansion and Designs for Health’s decision to purchase a building and stay and grow in Flagler County. Either Falgout conveniently forgot or Grant failed to report, that Designs for Health was recruited by Flagler County’s Department of Economic Opportunity to Flagler County and has been assisted by the county to grow its workforce from less than a dozen to 50 employees in the past 4 years. In another lapse of memory,

I’ve also been tempted by the sun visor that you put on your dashboard and makes everyone think they are looking into the “windshield” of the Millenium Falcon, with Luke and Han Solo and the gang ready to almost jump into hyperspace. My kids almost convinced me to buy R2D2 saltand-pepper shakers for my wife for Christmas. I imagined her unwrapping the gifts and giggling with delight. “How funny!” she would say. “These are adorable! Beep beep oop bop! Hahahaha!” But I put them back on the shelf becuase I knew that, in reality, that’s how I would react, not her. Better just hope she sees them and buys them for me instead. And I better put this Darth Vader lawn orna-

Sea Ray, which is located in Flagler County and not within Palm Coast city limits, Falgout failed to mention that it was the Flagler County Commission that took the public heat from Flagler Beach residents to allow Sea Ray to expand its parking lot. That decision let the largest manufacturing company in the county know it was welcome here. The article also failed to mention that in the past year, Flagler County also recruited three new firms to relocate and bring jobs to the area: Beautlitch Pharmaceuticals, Moving Minds and Delta Engineering. These aren’t low-paying retail jobs, or construction jobs that come and go with the economy, but jobs that allow families to permanently settle in Flagler County, have decent benefits, buy houses, and pay bills, You could chalk up all this missing information to a new writer to the area and a city that likes to expand on the success of others, except for the fact that the editors are well aware of the facts I list. The job of a newspaper is to report the facts, not just what someone says.

ment back, as well. Is there any way the movies can live up to the hype? We can only hope that J.J. Abrams, who did a fantastic job with the “Star Trek” reboots, will rescue the series and allow us to forget we ever met Jar-Jar Binks.

Incorporation was settled with a vote in 1999 Dear Editor: A recent letter from Mr. Pulos suggesting that the city of Palm Coast should be eliminated and revert to county control is an outdated argument. In fact, this matter was settled in 1999, when the citizens of Palm Coast voted to incorporate with a 60% approval. I suggest that Mr. Pulos take the time to review and inform himself of the many benefits we receive as a result of being incorporated. Pay a visit to the historical society; they have a great deal of information on why we incorporated. I could enumerate many benefits; however, I feel your individual research will do a better job of convincing you. VINCENT A. LIGUORI Palm Coast

Observer

Every night for the past week, I’ve had the same nightmare: that Rotten Tomatoes gave “The Force Awakens” 8% favorable reviews. I’d wake up in a cold sweat and frantically reach for my phone to check for sure. Then I’d shake my wife’s shoulder to wake her up, and, as she looked up at me with fear in her eyes — or maybe it’s just that she’s blinded by the flashlight app — I’d reassure her: “Don’t worry. There aren’t any reviews of ‘Star Wars’ yet. So there’s still hope. A new hope, in fact, that it could be good.” Then I’d stretch my arms and let out a wookie-like yawn and hug my plush Yoda doll as I drift back to sleep, where I can continue gliding through the stars, looking for an asteroid to land on.

Palm Coast: What a great place to live! Dear Editor: So many nice things happening in Palm Coast! Kudos to those responsible for the lovely landscaping along Palm Coast Parkway. It makes our city look great and will be even lovelier in spring when everything has had a chance to root in. Kudos, too, to the Rotary Club and everyone involved in the beautiful holiday light display in the Town Center. It gets better every year, and it is a delight for young and old. And kudos again to all the local organizations that decorated the trees at the library. Make time for a visit; it will be worth it. What a great place to live. EDITH CAMPINS Palm Coast

It was worth about $100, and he’d last seen it Dec. 5, he told a deputy. A surveillance video system from a nearby facility wasn’t working properly, and deputies weren’t able to check it for

THE REALLY, REALLY WET BANDITS? 11:26 a.m. First block of Ponderosa Lane. Burglary: A 65-yearold man who’d recently bought a house and was repairing it went to the home and noticed that the shower and floor in the master bathroom were wet, as if someone had bathed there. He contacted the Sheriff’s Office, and a deputy noted that a piece of the home’s screen was cut, and someone had pried open the bedroom’s glass sliding door with a pry tool like a crowbar. There was no other damage to the house, and nothing was stolen. IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES 9:16 p.m. First block of Reidsville Drive. Burglary from vehicle: A 68-year-old woman left her car unlocked for about 10 minutes while she was inside her home, but when she came back out, she noticed that the car’s dome light was on, and her purse — which she’d left in the center console — was missing. It contained her cell phone, which was worth about $500, plus an electronic car key, $80 cash and her driver’s license and credit cards. Altogether, the purse thief had made off with about $1,088 worth of property, according to a Sheriff’s Office case report. A deputy investigating the case wasn’t able to get fingerprints from the car because the woman had already touched the car doors while opening and closing them.

THIS THIEF’S ‘GOT MILK’ 5:50 p.m. First block of Russo Drive. Residential burglary: A woman left her home for a couple of hours the night of Dec. 2 and returned to find the home burglarized, with thousands of dollars of electronics and jewelry stolen. But the thief (or thieves) also stole a gallon of milk, among other odd choices. The stolen goods included many which were predictable targets: more than 12 pieces of jewelry, a tablet, a cell phone, a 19-inch flat-screen TV, $200 cash, and the woman’s 23-yearold son’s debit card and Social Security card. But the thief also stole a pair of Nike Jordan sneakers, two bottles of hair conditioner, two bottles of Aperge perfume, and a gallon of whole milk. Altogether, the stolen items were worth $3,625, according to a Sheriff’s Office case report. A deputy wrote in the report that there was no sign of forced entry, and that it seemed the thief or thieves entered through an unlocked door.

Too young to vote, but old enough to make changes in Tallahassee State Rep. Paul Renner vowed to help FPC students get texting legislation to Tallahassee.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2015

City, county plan meeting on radios, EMS JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

“I’d like to help you, son, but you’re too young to vote,” is a verse in the 1958 Eddie Cochran song, “Summertime Blues,” lamenting teenagers’ lack of power. This was not the case in Diane Tomko’s Community Problem Solving class at Flagler Palm Coast High School on Friday, Dec. 11, when five teenagers, “too young to vote,” had the attention of state Rep. Paul Renner. Renner had asked to meet with the teens — Isabel Vigil, Ayden Craig, Michael Brown, Ashton Craig, and Jessica Wilcox — to allow them to make their presentation for legislation to create texting and driving laws in Florida. Currently texting while driving is a secondary offense that is only applied if the driver is being pulled over for another reason, like speeding. The group spoke at a Flagler County legislative delegation meeting and drew the attention of Michael Chiumento, who helped set up the meeting with Renner, Vigil said. The students

know they have a tough road of committees and meetings ahead of them, and that bills involving texting and driving have been presented and died in committee in the past. “It’s huge, really huge, to have the support, just from Chiumento,” Vigil said. “It’s great to know that we have resources that will help us.” The students decided to take on the project when they realized little was being done about texting, and phone use, on Florida roads. Renner was visibly impressed with their PowerPoint presentation, and the statistic that acci-

dents involving texting account for nearly six times those caused by intoxicated drivers. He told the students that he would be cosponsoring the bill this year. The teens have received support from local car dealers Palm Coast Ford (which is also displaying their banner), Tom Gibbs Chevrolet, and Flagler Chrysler Dodge. All three dealerships have fliers and business cards supplied by the community problem solving group to be handed out to their customers. “It’s good you are rallying people to make this change,” Renner said. Following the presentation,

Renner explained the process, and suggested the students start an email campaign to the House and Senate, and meet with the committees. He told them he would help them navigate the process in Tallahassee. “Can you give this presentation in two minutes?” he asked. The students didn’t hesitate — “Yes.” “Mr. Sims (Dustin Sims, FPC principal) told us he would get a van for us so that we can go,” said Craig. “We are going to do our best to get it passed.”

Palm Coast is ready to negotiate with Flagler County over a shared radio system, one of several matters that have strained relations between the two governments over recent months. “From my perspective, I am more than ready to sit down with this body and the County Commission and discuss these issues,” Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts said at a City Council meeting Dec. 15. Palm Coast had signed an interlocal agreement in 2009 to jump onto the county’s 800 MHz radio system, agreeing to put $300,000 per year for five years in escrow for an eventual expansion. But the city stopped paying into the escrow account in 2013 and demanded the return of the $900,000 it had already paid, saying the county was trying to upgrade the system in a manner incompatible with the agreement. The county disputed that. City Manager Jim Landon told Netts at the Dec. 15 meeting that he’d already met once with county staff about that issue as well as city/county EMS responsibilities, another matter the county and city have disputed. Landon and county staff will meet again shortly after the New Year, Landon said, and then plan a third meeting for the City Council and County Commission in January.

Boy critical after being slammed to the ground A 4-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition Saturday, Dec. 12 after a 22-year-old man raised the child over his head and then slammed him into a carpeted concrete floor so hard the boy had a seizure and began bleeding from his ear, according to Sheriff’s Office reports. The little boy was airlifted to Shands Medical Center in Gainesville with severe head injuries. He is in critical but stable condition, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. The attack happened at about 3:30 p.m. Dec. 12 at a home on Ethel Lane. Three young girls were also in the house. They told deputies that the little boy had been playing with a door, pushing it from side to side, when Christopher Craig “Kodak” Williams came home and got mad at the boy. “It was a hard slam, it was a hard one,” one of the girls said, according to a deputy’s report. The girl told the deputy that she tried to stop the bleeding with paper towels. The two other girls gave statements that supported her account. One said that Williams had shown up at the house mad and was leaning against a car outside when he saw the little boy pushing the door side to side. The girl said that after slamming the little boy to the ground, Williams walked back out to the car and leaned against it. Deputies arrested Williams on Sunday, Dec. 13.

Flagler County Sheriff James L. Manfre

Sheriff’s ethics case findings to be announced The final hearings in the Florida Commission on Ethics case against Flagler County Sheriff James L. Manfre were held Dec. 2 and Dec. 3, and an administrative law judge will announce a decision in the case in about 30 days. The commission is currently preparing a transcript, an Ethics Commission spokeswoman said. Once it’s complete, they will have 10 days to complete their proposed recommended orders, and the Administrative Law Judge will then issue a recommended order within 20 days. The process could take longer if there are continuances in the case.

Man arrested after shooting near neighbor’s property A 74-year-old man on Bimini Lane said he was just shooting at beer cans. His neighbor, the owner of the Second Chance Rescue animal rescue organization, said he pointed his gun

at a 16-year-old girl on her property and that he’d fired guns in the direction of her and the girl and the rescue animals before. The man, David Ralph Gilmore, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. “I did observe beer cans with bullet holes in them which were consistent with (Gilmore’s) statement,” the deputy wrote in the report. “It should be noted that (Gilmore) states there is a long history of a neighbor dispute between (Gilmore) and (Root).” But the deputy found a .410 gauge shell in Gilmore’s backyard that wasn’t near the beer cans Gilmore said he’d been firing at, and was “approximately 50 feet from the barn where (the girl) had been at during the incident.” The deputy arrested Gilmore and confiscated two shotguns, a .410 and a .22.

Man sentenced to 15 years in prison for statutory rape

Suspects plead in burglary case, sentencing set

A Palm Coast man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for the lewd and lascivious battery of an underage relative. The man, Brandon James Moon, had pleaded no contest Nov. 3, entering an open plea — meaning there was no agreement with the State Attorney’s Office for his sentence. In a hearing Dec. 7, Circuit Judge David Walsh sentenced Moon to 15 years, 7th Judicial Circuit representative Ludmilla Lelis said. According to Moon’s plea form, 15 years in prison and/or a fine of $10,000 is the statutory maximum sentence for the lewd and lascivious battery (statutory rape) charge. Two other charges initially filed against Moon — one count of lewd and lascivious molestation, and one count of cruelty toward a child/impregnating a child under 16 by a person 21 or over — were not pursued. The victim was 13 or 14 when Moon raped her. A doctor’s office visit showed that she was pregnant, revealing the rape, and DNA testing confirmed that Moon was the one who had impregnated her. Moon was already in jail on a burglary charge when charges were filed in the rape case.

A man accused of threatening a 67-year-old Palm Coast woman’s life during a burglary has pleaded no contest and will be sentenced Jan. 25 with a codefendant. The man, 27-year-old South Daytona resident Daniel Evans III, pleaded no contest to a count of burglary with assault or battery in a Dec. 10 docket sounding, and the prosecution agreed not to pursue a home invasion robbery charge, 7th Judicial Circuit representative Ludmilla Lelis said. Evans had entered the victim’s house by knocking on the door and, when she answered, shoving it open so forcefully that she was thrown to the floor, according to Sheriff’s Office reports. He told her he’d kill her if she looked at him, and then stole money and credit cards from her purse, according to the reports. Evans will be sentenced in a 9 a.m. hearing Jan. 25 with alongside Carisa Noel Hall, a 23-yearold South Daytona woman who was a former roommate of the 67-year-old victim, and who is charged with a count of principal to burglary with a battery in connection with the Aug. 3, 2014 burglary. Hall entered a plea of no contest in August, and the State Attorney’s Office also agreed not to pursue a home invasion robbery charge in her case. Both pleas are open pleas; There is no agreement with the prosecution on sentencing.

FINISHING SCHOOL

FPC coasted to an easy victory against Mainland, but coach Pete Hald is still hoping his team will learn to finish games in time for the playoffs.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

he Flagler Palm Coast Lady Bulldogs (10-45, 8-0-2) had no problems shutting out the Mainland Bucs 6-0 in their final district meet of the regular season on Tuesday, Dec. 15, at FPC. “Our problem has been we’re not finishing and scoring goals,” coach Pete Hald said. “We need to put teams away, and we just don’t have that right now. Although I was disappointed in that, we got to play everybody a lot, and we did play well. They only had one shot on frame against us. So, I’m glad we won, and we’re almost full strength, so that’s a positive.” Julia Lombardo put the first ball in the net for a score (Emily Puentes assisted) in the 16th minute of the first half, and Madison Hald (Jade Louis-Juene) and Saba Amiri (Lombardo) scored backto-back around the 25th minute to put FPC up 3-0. In the second half, Bailey Mills scored (Amiri), and Amiri and Hald (Madison Friedman) both found the net a second time for a total of six goals. “We are creating chances, but we’re just not finishing, so I’m going to have to challenge them,” Hald added. “We’re definitely

confident, and we’re getting better, and we have some tough teams to play before districts, but that’s just going to prepare us for what’s really important, which are districts. You want to play your best soccer in January, and we’re getting healthy and better, but we need to start finishing.” Up next for the Lady Dawgs is the Julie Weber Invitational, which will take place from Dec. 18-22, in Lake Mary.

LOOKING AHEAD

A few days after the New Year, FPC will play Seabreeze for the conference championship Tuesday, Jan. 5, and they will match up with crosstown rival Matanzas the following day. Both games will be played at FPC.

n the last few months, I’ve fallen in love with chess again. I’ve probably played more games online in the last few months than I’ve played my entire life, and my uncle, Theodis Dawsey, taught me at 6 years old. He has won more chess championships than I care to know, and he still faithfully plays all day, every day. I’ve never beaten him (not even close), but I never studied the game nor played on a consistent basis. I’m pretty sure my uncle would love to hear that I’ve taken the game back up, but he’d probably be disappointed to hear how a 12-year-old destroyed me, twice. Luka, son of FlaglerLive.com Editor Pierre Tristam, and I played four games on Sunday, which was the first time I played live chess in well over 10 years, and it showed. In the first game, I beat him in less than 10 moves. He, his dad and I were all surprised. Honestly, I didn’t know what I was doing. He actually had to let me know that I mated him (don’t tell him, though). In the second match, I didn’t stand a chance. While the match lasted longer than the first, it was never close. My opening in the third game was brutal. He snatched up most of my pieces so fast, I thought some of them had fallen off the board. I was able to recover and get the win, after taking his queen. Then, he took his game clock out of his bag for the final match. Let’s just say he took me behind the woodshed in that one. It didn’t last for two minutes. I can still see his little 12-year-old, innocent smile stare up at me, as I looked at him snatch my pieces off the board. It was a pleasure to play with Luka, who’s looking to make chess a career. He’s been playing for six years, mostly self-taught, and he has a consistent opponent in his dad, whom he has begun to beat in the last few years. I’m looking forward to playing with him some more, so I can get my revenge, but I’m also anticipating to see what he becomes within the game.

Bulldogs wrestling goes to 53-0

Lady Bulldogs remain undefeated

Flagler Palm Coast opened its season with a 69-9 win over Palatka Thursday, Dec. 10, at FPC. Winners by pinfall were John Johnson, Michael DeAugustino, Trace Insalaco, Evyn Insalaco, Kaz Maia, Eric Rosso, Steve Canidate, Kendrick Davis and Justin Haaf. The Bulldogs are now 53-0 in dual meets, since Tom Bartolotta took over as head coach. FPC will look to continue that streak, when they take on St. Augustine at 7 p.m. Thursday at FPC.

The Flagler Palm Coast Lady Bulldogs, who rank No. 1 in Central Florida, according to Bright House Networks and Florida Association of Basketball Coaches, remain one of the only undefeated teams in Flagler County high school sports at 12-0, with its latest victory coming by 50 points over DeLand on Monday. Over the next two weeks, the Bulldogs will compete in the Highlight Classic on Dec. 18 and 19, in Orlando, and they’ll go further south for the Rising Stars Showcase on Dec. 28 and 30, in Palm Beach.

MHS boys suffer first soccer loss

Lady Pirates shine in conference championship The Matanzas girls weightlifting team celebrated two champions and two runners-up while taking third overall at the St. Johns River Athletic Conference Meet on Wednesday Dec. 9. Kayla Walker-White won her division with 130 pounds in bench, 155 in clean and jerk, totaling 285, beating 18 other lifters. Samantha Brown won her division with 120 and 120 for 240 pounds total, beating 12 lifters. Danielle Thompson and Sarah Dillon finished runner-up. The Lady Pirates will host Father Lopez at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, at Matanzas.

The Pirates were not able to stay undefeated as they fell to the Ponte Vedra Sharks 4-0 Monday, Dec. 14, at Matanzas. “I thought we were a little confident beyond our ability at times, and I thought we needed to be humbled a little bit,” coach Rich Weber said. “This was a good benchmark game for us to see we have the potential to go forward. And, we’re playing for the end of January, not for now, so I’m OK with us being able to correct things.” Ponte Vedra went into the game as the third-ranked team in the nation, according to Maxpreps, and Matanzas was ranked fifth in 3A. The Pirates will look to bounce against FPC on Saturday, Jan. 2, at Matanzas.

HAVEN OF HOPE

Family and friends of deceased children gathered at the BeachHouse Beanery on Sunday, Dec. 13, to grieve and remember their young loved ones.

ANASTASIA PAGELLO STAFF WRITER

rieving families gathered around candlelight Dec. 13 as they watched the sky fill with floating lanterns in honor of their deceased children. “Tonight we remember our own children and honor all the children around the world who died too soon,” said Donna Lunsford, founder of Parents in Mourning. Lunsford has organized the event locally for the past 13 years, after the loss of her son Jonathan. “Giving people hope after their child has died is how I found my way to cope with my loss,” she said. “I have been contacted by many parents as time goes by to thank me for helping them and that’s very satisfying.” The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting organizes the annual event to memo-

Judie Allen and John Wachter launched a floating lantern for their daughter. “One thing I have learned is that you will live through the loss of a child, but you will never stop grieving,” Judie Allen said.

At 7 p.m. Dec. 13 each year, grieving family members and friends gather in every time zone around the world to comfort each another and remember their beloved children. “The only way I have learned to cope is by being around others who are dealing with the same tragedy,” Lunsford said. “Once you open up about losing a child, your heart is so raw,” BeachHouse Beanery owner Carol Fischer managed to say while holding back tears. Fischer lost her daughter, Julie, who was only 21 years old at the time. The Fischers have hosted the event at the Beanery for the past two years. Each family was given the opportunity to share memories of their child before releasing floating lanterns into the night. “If I have learned one thing, it is that we are not alone,” Barbara Coxwell said.

Hundreds of Palm Coast residents gathered early in the evening to claim a spot along the parade route. The onlookers had a chance to meet Santa, and enjoyed pre-parade entertainment by the Flagler Palm Coast High School’s soloists and a Cocobean Steel Drum musician. The parade began at 7 p.m., with more than 100 decorated floats dazzling onlookers with Christmas lights. This year’s grand marshal was Palm Coast volunteer firefighter Howard Peiffer, who rode in the parade on a 1938 Ford MFG fire engine. Peiffer is an Army veteran who served as a firefighter in Lake Mohegan, New York, before retiring to Palm Coast as a volunteer in 1992. He is now the associate coordinator of the volunteer force for the Palm Coast Fire Department. — ANASTASIA PAGELLO

Most will allow you to post a photo. n Visit the shelter every day. They get lots of animals and what you think looks like a corgi, they may think looks like a basset. You know your pet. n Call and visit all of the shelters in the area. This includes Halifax Humane in Daytona, and St. Augustine Humane. n As you search, tell people you see, especially mail carriers and lawn maintenance people. They are outside and moving around your neighborhood. Give them a card with your phone number so they can call if they see your pet.

Bring Sammy home for Christmas Reuniting lost pets with their owners is the best feeling ever.

JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

On Monday, Nov. 23, Sammy dug under a gate at his dogsitter’s home to go exploring. He hasn’t been home since. From his photo, Sammy looks to be a corgi/Labrador mix, and well cared for. He is 11 years old but still very active — too active — and loving. You all know how I feel about corgis! He was adopted from the Flagler Humane Society by Misty Alexander when he was 6 weeks old. He’s neutered, and has a microchip. We have all had the experience, the sinking feeling when a dog, or cat, slips the collar, darts out of the house, or digs under the fence. It doesn’t mean the owner isn’t a good owner. It means pets are faster, and sneakier, than we are. Shortly after we took custody of Kodi for our son, who was headed off to Africa in the Peace Corps, Kodi tried to run away. Well not really run, he darted out the door and jumped into

the back of the UPS truck while my husband was accepting a package. We were lucky. My heart goes out to Susan Percopo-Fuentes, who was watching Sammy for her friend. I spoke to Susan recently, and she told me posters went up immediately. She filed a missing pet report with the Flagler Humane Society and posted on multiple social media sites. The only response she received was on Thanksgiving Day when someone called to say they saw, and spoke to, someone who put Sammy in their car, saying they were taking him home to feed him and clean him up before taking him to the Humane Society. But Susan and Misty have gone to the shelter many times, hoping to find him. The folks who picked him up helped keep him safe from harm. If the shelter was closed when they found him, keeping him until the next day makes perfect sense. But now, it’s time for Sammy to go home. There’s a 4-year-old girl, Raelyn, who misses her pup. To return Sammy to his home, call Susan at 569-7296; Misty at 864-1273; or email me at jacque@palmcoastobserver. com. I guess I am hoping for a Christmas miracle for Sammy’s family. He’s been gone almost a month, but I’m an optimist. I want to hear that he has been found and reunited with his family.

Social media is a great way to reach out when pets go missing.

IF YOU FIND A LOST DOG OR CAT: n Don’t assume he has bad parents. Escape artists can get away from the best of us. n Check social media and drive around to see if anyone is looking for him. n Call the shelter. Someone may have already reported him missing and you may be able to return him directly to the owner. n If it’s after hours, take him to a vet to be scanned for a microchip. n Be cautious approaching any dog or cat. You wouldn’t want them to dart into traffic or bite you out of fear. n Take the pet to the shelter. This is the best way for owners to find them. The shelter keeps dogs and cats five days, then they are available for adoption.

GROWING HOPE JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER

There was a traffic jam at the intersection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and South Bacher streets in Bunnell on Monday, Dec. 14. Lights flashed from the C.O.P. car and the volunteer officer stood in the middle of the street directing traffic. The attraction was the ribbon

cutting ceremony for the HOPE Garden, and everybody in town was not only there, they were all active participants. Five Bunnell Elementary School students — Sean Gilliam, Jermaine Bucknor, Danny Wolcott, Madelynn Oliva and Jackson McMillan — were easy to spot in their bright green shirts, emblazoned with the initials G.R.E.E.N. for the Garden Raising Environmental Efficiency Network. They were some of the youngest volunteers who came together to plant vegetables in the reclaimed brownfield area.

Once the ribbon was cut, the students got busy planting at the HOPE Garden in Bunnell Monday, Dec. 14.

During the opening ceremony, Flagler County Commissioner Barbara Revels thanked all of the organizations, businesses, government and school groups that worked on the project. The list was long and included the FEED (Flagler Economic Enhancement District) Coalition, Flagler Schools, the Housing Authority, and Florida Agricultural Services. Mike Boyd, executive director of the Flagler County Housing Authority for almost 30 years, explained how the lot was once a propane tank farm. The garden was created through a public and private collaboration that was seeded by a FEED Environmental Protection Agency brownfields grant for environmental assessments and reuse planning. The residents formed a garden club and a men’s group to grow and harvest the plants. This is not the only community garden in town. There are other smaller gardens around the neighborhood, and one at the Sheriff’s Operation Center, also part of the BES GREEN project. “The tenants here are able to produce an amazing amount of food, and they do a wonderful job, and serve the elderly as well,” Boyd said. Katrina Austin, from the county economic development department, asked everyone who was part of the project to stand behind the ribbon for the official

The reason for the garden was clear to Sean Gilliam, 12. “We want to help to promote a healthy lifestyle,” he said. When asked if the GREEN team eats vegetables, a chorus of “yes” rang out. “You can’t be part of the troop and not,” Sean said.

Teacher Brandy Anderson, does a cartwheel across the stage in the ITMS cafeteria.

t urq uo i se , 1 8-whe e l semi-trailer with the pink flamingo logo of the Florida Lottery pulled into the back parking lot of Indian Trails Middle School on Friday, Dec. 4 for the Just Read Florida event. The trailer, which opens up into a stage, had to stay closed due to the weather, but that didn’t matter to the cafeteria full of seventhgraders. They were just as happy to watch teacher Brandy Anderson do a cartwheel. The ITMS seventh-grade civics classes were chosen by the Florida Department of Education, cosponsor of the event with the Florida Lottery. Schools were chosen randomly throughout the state to

participate in the pop quiz event. “Superintendent (Jacob) Oliva received a call about Indian Trails being asked to participate in the event,” Diane Dyer, director of curriculum. “To see the kids excited about civics, and being able to answer the questions, is really great.” The two teams, Team Anderson and Team Buck, the students of Brandy Anderson and Jeffrey Buck, sat with their buzzers raised, waiting for Principal Paul Peacock to ask the questions. There were breaks for “Pop Up Waves” when Peacock threw T-shirts into waiting arms. During another brief break, Peacock challenged Anderson to do a cartwheel across the stage, which she did flawlessly. Buck declined the cartwheel challenge.

The teams were allowed to call on one friend from the audience if a question stumped them. No friends were called upon. The eight students on stage knew their civics. Team Anderson ultimately won. “This is the first year I’ve heard of it, and it is awesome,” assistant principal Marcus Sanfilippo said. Books donated by FDOE were stacked on the stage. The books were part of the “Just Take 20” reading campaign implemented by the state. “Students who read 20 minutes every day are more successful in school,” Hope Colle from the Florida Department of Education told the students. The event was broadcast live on the school website. “Parents can watch the event from home on www.itmsmustangs.com/live, just like they can watch the morning announcements,” Peacock said.
