COVID VACCINE

‘Extremely safe’ for ages 5-11 Parents are encouraged to vaccinate kids between the ages of 5-11 as soon as doses become available, pediatric specialists at AdventHealth for Children said.

“There’s 28 million children in the age group of 5 to 11, and none of them should die from a vaccine preventable disease,” said Dr. Michael Keating, chief medical officer of AdventHealth for the Children. “We can beat COVID. These kids need to be vaccinated.”

Look for a fun activity? We have you covered!

The youngest child of Maltese immigrants, George was born and raised in Astoria, Queens, New York.

George and his devoted wife Ellie made a home for their family in Rockville Centre, New York for 31 years and then retired to Palm Coast, Florida in 1994. George was active in the Flagler County Republican Club, St. Augustine/Palm Coast Council of the Navy League of the United States, the local VFW lodge, the Elks Club, and the Knights of Columbus.

George proudly served in the United States Navy during the Korean War. He was an Electrician’s Mate on the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany, his pride and joy.

Upon his discharge from the US Navy, George started a 39-year career with the New York Telephone Company (Verizon). George was a devoted father to his two sons and was actively involved with Rockville Centre Little League teams, Boy Scout Troop 163, and organized numerous family camping excursions. He was a talented handyman and delighted in helping friends and neighbors with their “around the home” projects.

George is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Ellie; sons Robert and his partner Kathy;

Thomas and daughter-inlaw Janet of Malverne; and two beloved grandchildren, Thomas II, and Ashley Rose; numerous nieces and nephews. He also was predeceased by his brother Joseph and his sister Maryanne.

Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.craigflaglerpalms.com for the Grech family.

Amparo (Pam) Gloria Persi passed away on October 23, 2021 after a short illness.

Amparo was born on October 4, 1939 in Bolivia.

She moved to the United States in the early 60s to pursue a Master’s Degree in Biochemistry. She married Alfred Persi. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, and a son, Frederic. They lived in Canada, Belgium, Colombia, Israel, Turkey, Venezuela and the United States during their time together. They moved to Palm Coast in 1995.

Compassionate, dedicated, funny, smart and passionate are some of the best words to describe her. She was a friend to all she met.

Her smile, laughter and love will be greatly missed. She

especially loved gardening and cooking.

Amparo is survived by her husband, Alfred, her daughter, Elizabeth, her son Frederic, her three grandchildren, Antonio, Domenica, Gabriella, her brother, Julio, and sister Pilar.

In lieu of flowers please consider donating to KIND (Kids in need of defense) https://supportkind.org/ which represents a cause she was very passionate about.

Citation Boulevard reopens to traffic; city plans to fine Cline for delays Scott Sowers, Cline president, is challenging the fines, due to a clause in the contract accounting for pandemics.

SCOPE OF CITATION CONSTRUCTION Sesame Boulevard and Citation Parkway intersection will convert into one road, with Citation Parkway being renamed to Sesame Boulevard; the area that is Citation Parkway will be a twolane road with a multi-use path (sidewalk); Replacement of culvert on Sesame Boulevard; Access road to city property at what is known as Dry Lake; Intersection improvements at Citation Parkway (to be Sesame Boulevard) and Seminole Woods Boulevard with the addition of a left and right turn lane on Seminole Woods Boulevard and Sesame Boulevard; Intersection improvements at Universal Trail with the addition of a left turn lane on Sesame Boulevard; Drainage and utility work, plus installation of some new utilities.

A fully vaccinated foreman, who has been with the company for 25 years, died of COVID during the Citation project.

“It’s a wakeup call, and it’s not something you’re prepared to deal with,” Sowers said, adding that the foreman was fully vaccinated and had other health issues.

“The contractor will be in the area finishing these items while traffic is utilizing the roadway,” Kershaw added.

Some Seminole Woods residents have become increasingly frustrated with the delays, which cause long detours. Some have shouted insults at workers as they drive by. Someone put sand into the gas tank of a paving machine and also used power tools to destroy other equipment — which caused more delays.

The city of Palm Coast is fining Cline Construction $1,000 per day for every day past Sept. 28, until the Citation Boulevard realignment project between Seminole Woods Boulevard and Sesame Boulevard is deemed “substantially complete.”

That’s the standard fine, and it’s about $42,000 as of Nov. 9, according to city spokeswoman Brittany Kershaw. Cline President Scott Sowers, however, said the company is challenging the amount because many factors — including the pandemic — put the completion of the project beyond Cline’s control.

“We have submitted change order requests for rain days and pandemic issues that were initially denied,” Sowers said in an email to the Palm Coast Observer. “We are challenging it, as the contract explicitly allows for additional time due to pandemics. We have been in discussions with the city manager, and we are still waiting on a response from her.

Citation is open to traffic, which was the city’s main concern.”

Kershaw reported the following in a press release at the end of July: “During construction, the crew came across an issue with a stormwater structure and a water main that required redesign. The structure that is needed has to be built and delivered from the manufacturer.

This delay in redesign and materials halted construction on the project.

Citation Parkway is now expected to re-open to motorists in August and the project is estimated to be entirely completed by mid-September.”

Citation Boulevard reopened Oct. 27, but there are still items that remain unfinished.

As of Nov. 8, the sidewalk still

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

City to redraw districts In the year’s since Palm Coast’s 2010 census, the population of one city district grew particularly fast: District 3, which includes land on either side of Interstate 95 south of Palm Coast Parkway.

It has about 15% more people than it would if all of the city’s four districts were the same population size.

Meanwhile, other districts have about 2% to 7% less than they would if all districts were equal.

Palm Coast plans to equalize those districts so that each contains about a quarter of the city’s 89,258 residents. The 10-year redistricting process is required by state law but will have minimal political impact, as council members are elected at large.

A council-appointed committee met after the 2020 Census to evaluate options for a re-drawing of district boundaries in light of the new demogaphic information.

Presented with five options by city staff, the commission chose one called Option 4. The City Council supported that decision.

Boat ramp, kayak launch planned for Waterfront Park Palm Coast’s Waterfront Park will get a new dock, double kayak launch and boat ramp, plus more parking and boat trailer parking.

The work is expected to begin in 2023.

The city government has received a Florida Inland Navigation District grant for the work, Palm Coast Stormwater and Engineering Director Carl Cote told Palm Coast City Council members at a Nov. 9 City Council workshop.

“Waterfront Park itself is a great asset to the city,” Cote said. “It’s got a lot of connections, communitywide, either through the trail system or people who utilize the facility for various uses. It’s a very successful, very active park.”

Palm Coast received its first FIND grant for Waterfront Park in 2005, using that money to design the park’s current amenities, known as “Part 1.”

It has received more assistance regularly in the years since, including grant money last year for the planned work, and more this year.

“We started in 2020; this year we’re at the final stages of having a set of construction plans,” Cote said.

“Our goal here is, at the beginning of 2023, to move ahead with construction.”

The planned project is called “Part 2,” and will broken into two phases.

The first, $1.1 million Phase A will feature dredging, shoreline stabilization, site work and the installation of concrete and the city’s new dock and

There will also be educational kiosks featuring safety and boating operation information about topics like Intracoastal Waterway channel use, manatee awareness, vessel right-of-way and boater safety, and the distances to various destinations.

FIND will be funding slightly under half of Phase A. The city will apply for more grants to cover approximately half of Phase B. Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin asked why the Waterfront Park project, specifically, has been selected for the FIND grant funding.

Cote explained that FIND funds projects that help people access the Intracoastal Waterway. It has also provided funding for the Long Creek Nature Preserve — Palm Coast’s only other park with Intracoastal access — and for the city’s annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup event.

Alfin asked if the new kayak launch would also accommodate other nonmotorized boats, like crew boats.

Cote said that it would all types of non-motorized vessels, including crew boats and canoes.

Q + A CARA CRONK, BUDDY TAYLOR PRINCIPAL

The results of rewarding positive behavior BRENT WORONOFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

C

ara Cronk is celebrating her first anniversary this month as principal at Buddy Taylor Middle School. Her husband, Justin Cronk, is an assistant principal at Indian Trails Middle School.

They moved here 17 years ago from Palm Beach County where the Cronks were ESE teachers at John I. Leonard High School.

Before becoming principal, she was an assistant principal at BTMS for two years and at Matanzas High School for two years. Before that she was an English teacher, literacy coach and teacher support colleague at Indian Trails.

Their daughters – Hailey Cronk, 25, and Rebecca Smith, 20 – are out of the house now, so Cara and Justin recently fostered two young girls for seven months.

Cara Cronk sat down with the Observer recently and discussed Buddy Taylor’s PBIS rewards program, students who who threaten school violence and painting by numbers.

The Positive Behavior Intervention Support rewards program is a mouthful to say, and the concept of rewarding points via app to students for positive behavior sounds like something out of Harry Potter. Has it been positive for the school?

I think it’s having a positive impact, even with the small start that we’ve had, because kids are checking their points, they’re wanting to keep track. The teachers are buying into it and wanting to use it. And I am seeing more students taking responsibility for their school.

What are some of the behaviors being rewarded and what are some of the rewards?

What we’re trying to do is encourage the positive behaviors that we want to see on campus. A perfect example is I had a student who saw me sweeping up food in the cafeteria and just out of the blue, he came over and started helping clean off the table and picking up some trash. We also have categories for engagement and activities, so if you are walking in through a class and you know you’ve got a group of students that are really engaged in the discussion, you can reward them a point, because that’s what you want to see.

LETTERS VETERANS FIRST Dear Editor: Happy Veterans Day! Today, our country is safe, open and is ruled by its own citizens. This would not be the case without those who have made sacrifices and taken part in military service. Please join me in honoring all veterans on this Veterans Day. However, saying “thank you” is just the start of how we pay tribute to our veterans. The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System joins the rest of the country in pledging to care for our service members and ensure

Ms. Mindi Scala, who is one of our deans, and Mr. Toussiant Roberson, who is one of our assistant principals, are leading the charge with the PBIS rewards. They wrote a grant and got funding through the Kiwanis to purchase things (the students) can redeem their points for, whether its snacks or slushies in the cafeteria or gift cards.

What is the best advice you ever received from principals you’ve worked with about being a principal?

Each one, you take something a little different. I would say the best advice I got is about relationships, relationships with kids, relationships with your staff, relationships with your parents.

And the other advice, and this was from Jacob Oliva, when he was superintendent and I was an assistant principal at Matanzas. He said, “Get out of your office. Get into classrooms. Get with your kids.

Get with staff.” And I try to make sure I’m doing that all the time.

Yes, we get bogged down at times or situations come up, but I think I’m at my best, and I’m happiest, when I can go into a classroom, pull up next to a group of kids, say, “Hey what are you working on? Share it with me.” You get to know the kids

they receive the resources they need. Our commitment to those who have served does not end when their service ends, and they return home. We will continue to work to enhance veterans’ benefits, opportunities, and health care. It is an absolute priority that we fulfill our obligation to veterans and their families. We, as a country, must see to it that they get the best care they deserve for the sacrifices they’ve made to keep America safe.

Every day is Veterans Day at North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System, because it is our honor to help the nation repay its debt to America’s veterans. To keep that covenant, the Department of Veterans Affairs

more, and the teachers see you, that you’re there for them with them, supporting them. My goal is to hit every classroom at least once a week. So, to make sure I’m doing that I keep maps and highlight classrooms and the dates that I’m in there.

What’s the dynamic like with you and your husband being administrators at each of the county’s two middle schools?

We have a fun rivalry at times for sure, but the nice thing is we can bounce ideas off each other a lot, and we want both schools to be successful, because if both schools are successful, then the kids are successful, the district is successful. But it’s nice having a spouse in education, because we understand what each other’s going through.

There have been two recent arrests of BTMS students for allegedly threatening gun violence (and another since this interview).

Since the Parkland shootings, there has been zero tolerance from law enforcement. Do the kids in general understand this? How are these threats affecting the student body?

The recent arrests or the threats — that’s something you never want to see happen on your campus, especially with the Parkland shootings. Safety is the utmost importance. Anything that is

and North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System are modernizing how we deliver support to better meet the ever-increasing demand for benefits and health care. We see evidence of that modernization throughout the facility in our construction projects, systems redesign activities, new equipment, changing treatment modalities, and our high reliability journey to Zero Harm.

Our measure of success will be the timeliness, quality, and the experience of the services and support we provide to veterans rather than our promises. We want veterans to choose VA, because they want to and not because they must.

At the North Florida/South

brought to us, whether a kid thinks it’s real or it could be a joke, it’s absolutely taken seriously. As a result of the threats that have been made, we sat down as a team. Mr. Roberson and (School Resource Deputy Jason Williams) came up with the idea to have some student assemblies. We need to let the kids know the seriousness of what is taking place. We need to inform them about statutes, and we need to make sure they know who they need to contact on campus if they do know something or they do see something.

Every student in the school has been through that assembly, and they took it seriously. You could walk into any of those assemblies and you could hear a pin drop, because students want to be safe, and the expectation should be that they come to school, and that is a very safe place for them. But one thing I would say about our kids is they are amazing at letting us know. They know they can send an email to any administrator. They can tell us face-to-face. If they’re nervous, they can come and write something down in guidance or the dean’s office, if they don’t want to draw attention to themselves. But they know they can go to any adult on this campus, and we are going to investigate it, and, if it needs to be turned over to law enforcement, it will be, because we take their safety very seriously, 100%.

What do you like to do to relax?

What are some of your hobbies?

My daughter, Hailey, got me an acrylic paint-by-numbers for Mother’s Day. I do enjoy painting. I think I got that from my grandfather. I will not say I’m good, but I like doing it. So she said, “You don’t even have to think about this one, Mom. It’s just follow the numbers.” I also enjoy spending a lot of time with family. We have a big family, and we’re together quite often. Traveling, I love, but I haven’t been able to do much of it.

I have been able to go to Colorado a few times and see my daughter (Rebecca) out there, who’s in the Army. I wouldn’t trade that for anything.

Georgia Veterans Health System, we will continue to put our veterans first. We salute the spirit of the American service member and we honor the sacrifices of those who fulfilled their obligations and now proudly call themselves American veterans.

I consider myself fortunate to be able to serve these heroes. They are our neighbors. Our friends.

Our families. Our loved ones. We have an obligation to serve them as they have served us.

BRIEFS

who took over the table had cursed at the students who’d left their stuff there.

She said one of those boys mentioned “shooting” and provided his address.

She tried to de-escalate the situation by asking her group of friends to leave, and they did.

The students took the threat to school administration, and the suspect was identified.

He said there had been an argument and that a location was announced for them to meet after school to fight.

He said he did not recall any mention of a gun or threatening to “shoot them up.”

“This kind of behavior is unacceptable and we will investigate every threat in this county,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Words have consequences, and behavior like this is not acceptable, especially in our schools. I am once again asking parents to be the sheriff of your home and help us prevent this. Talk to your kids about the seriousness of making threats and to choose their words carefully, as words have consequences under the law.

Also, teach them the proper way to handle arguments, and making threats to do violence or planning a fight is not the solution. It takes a much bigger person to walk away and de-escalate the situation than to fight over something as stupid as a picnic table. I’m proud of the students that reported the threats and then de-escalated the situation.

They did it right.”

The teen was arrested for threatening a shooting.

Deputies arrest FPC student, 15, for alleged threat Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested a 15-year-old Flagler Palm Coast High School student who witnesses said threatened to “shoot up” a group of kids at the school in an argument about seats at a lunch table.

The FCSO was notified by school authorities of the threat on Nov. 2.

A witness told deputies that she’d been sitting at a table during lunch and overheard a male student mention something about a gun.

The student said she didn’t hear anything specific and wanted to mind her own business.

Another witness said he and several other students had placed their belongings on a picnic table outside the cafeteria, got their lunches, and returned to their table to see it occupied by another group of students.

The student asked the group to leave, since their stuff was already on the table, but the other students refused.

The students began arguing, and one student mentioned “something about a gun,” the witness said.

Another witness said that the group of students who took over their picnic table “got an attitude,” and that a male student then stated he was going to “shoot them up,” and provided an address for them to come to.

Another witness said the five boys

Buddy Taylor Middle School student, 13, arrested for written threats to kill A 13-year-old Buddy Taylor Middle School student has been arrested for threatening during lunch to “shoot up the school.”

FCSO deputies were notified by school authorities on Nov. 5. School administrators said three students has said that they were at a lunch table when one student asked another about a rumor they’d heard. The juvenile replied, “If one more person asks me about that … I am going to shoot up the school,” then indicated that the other two students would be the first targets.

The juvenile claimed it was an empty threat and he didn’t mean it.

He was arrested.

Two child molesters enter guilty pleas Two Flagler County sex offenders pleaded guilty on Nov. 2.

Gaston Santos Jr., 34, pleaded guilty to statutory rape of a 15-yearold girl. He has been sentenced to four years in state prison followed by 10 years of sex offender probation.

Isaac Julio Becker, 22, pleaded guilty to forcibly restraining and raping a girl multiple times when she was between 13 and 15 years old.

He has been sentenced to eight years in state prison followed by 10 years of sex offender probation with the requirement to be registered as a sexual predator.

Man shoots and injures woman, kills himself ‘This is another example of how a domestic situation can spiral out of control behind closed doors,’ Sheriff Rick Staly said.

MELISSA MORREALE FCSO PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER

A man shot a woman four times on Nov. 4, injuring her, then shot and killed himself.

Flagler County Sheriff ’s Office deputies responded to a residence on Bunker Knolls Lane in Palm Coast to find two subjects, a female victim and a male identified as Matthew Wright, both with gunshot wounds. Wright died from his injuries, while his victim is in critical condition.

Arriving deputies made contact with Wright’s sister, who was in front of the home and said that her brother was in the garage with a gunshot wound to the head.

Deputies then found his female victim, who said that she and Wright had been arguing in the garage when Wright shot her multiple times while she was sitting on the couch.

She then crawled from the garage to the side yard. When deputies entered the garage, they saw Wright

on the floor with an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound to the head.

A firearm was nearby.

Wright’s mother and sister said the victim had told them that Wright had locked her in the garage and shot her. Wright’s sister called the FCSO. Detectives determined that Wright, a convicted felon, had unlawfully obtained a firearm a few months ago.

He’d shot the victim at least four times before shooting himself once in the head.

Wright has an extensive criminal history dating to 2013. He was previously arrested and charged in Flagler County with burglary with assault and battery, fleeing law enforcement and possession of cocaine, among other crimes. He was last released from a Florida prison on Dec. 11, 2020.

“Unfortunately, this is another example of how a domestic situation can spiral out of control behind closed doors,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

“A young woman is fighting for her life because in a moment of rage, her boyfriend thought violence was the answer. The suspect won’t be a threat to anyone ever again. We are praying for the victim and hoping the victim can recover from her injuries.

Violence is never the answer and if you are in a volatile situation, you can escape and resources are available to help you.”

School Board cuts the word ‘equity’ in draft plan Bus drivers, other staff may get pay increases BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

“Equity” had been the title for Goal No. 2 of the new Strategic Plan that the Flagler County school district has been drafting.

The goal won’t change. But the title will.

The School Board agreed to change the goal’s title from “Equity” to “Student Support.”

At an Oct. 19 workshop, School Board member Jill Woolbright said a “large constituency group” objected to the word equity, primarily as it is used among the “guiding principles” in the district’s rezoning process. Woolbright

also noted that it was a goal title in the draft for the Strategic Plan.

At the School Board’s Nov. 2 workshop, Superintendent Cathy Mittlestadt offered the alternative title for Goal No. 2, based on previous discussion and public comments during School Board meetings.

“What it means is to be deliberate with our resources to be sure that every student has an opportunity to be successful,” Mittelstadt said. “I heard some dialogue among the board, and we had it in public comments. I want to make sure we’re landing where we need to land.

It does not change where we need to go and what we need to do by amending the title.

But the intent by district staff … is because we feel Flagler Schools has certain subgroups within our demographic where our gaps have just not closed, and we wanted to be so

WORKSHOP TO FOCUS ON MEDIA CENTER MATERIAL, PROCEDURES What started with School Board member Jill Woolbright raising some parents’ concerns about a fifth-grade English Language Arts passage focusing on Black Lives Matter turned into a call for a workshop on district media center policy and procedures.

At the Nov. 2 agenda workshop, Woolbright asked LaShakia Moore, the district’s director for teaching and learning, if there is a handbook for media center specialists. There is not, Moore said. Woolbright then called for a workshop to discuss library book lists and media center proce-

dures.

Woolbright and Janet McDonald were in favor of the workshop, while Cheryl Massaro and Colleen Conklin were against holding one.

Board Chair Trevor Tucker said, “I’d like students to read everything, whether I agree with it or not. ... I personally don’t want to go down a road where a media specialist or someone says this is a list of books we can have, this is a list of books we can’t have. I hate that idea personally.”

But Tucker agreed to the workshop, casting the deciding vote, “so it’s out there in the public.”

intentional on how we move our work forward.”

Woolbright said that because of the perception of the word, “whether misunderstood or not,” there’s still a concern, and she was in favor of changing the title.

“We are here to represent all our constituents,” she said.

“It’s always the context,” board member Janet McDonald said, noting that equity “has become such an inflammatory word.”

Board member Cheryl Massaro said she did not have a problem changing the title, giving the new title a majority of support from the board.

“Equity is such a misinterpreted phrase. It fits whatever people want it to fit,” Massaro said. “Probably, a change of language will make life much easier and more understandable to our families and that’s our goal.”

But board member Colleen Conklin called the change “shameful.”

“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation,” Conklin said. “We are now going to remove a key term from our Strategic Plan because we have a political group that is not happy with the use of the term ‘equity.’ I think this conversation is ridiculous, and

I’m obviously in the minority, but I think it’s a travesty.”

Board Chair Trevor Tucker said he did not care either way whether the goal’s title was Equity or Student Support, but with three board members in favor of the change, there was a consensus.

Mittelstadt explained the goal as “increasing access for all students to a high quality educational experience.”

She added, “The matrix that we’re really targeting are students with disabilities, our free-, reduced-lunch population, the African American population. We’re looking to close those gaps that historically we’ve been flat with.”

McDonald said the descriptor that puts the targeted groups in those categories is their low performance.

“So, if we can keep it to an educational vocabulary, we wouldn’t have an issue, because it’s all about what they need to be successful, no matter what their packaging is, no matter what their orientation is,” McDonald said She added that “every side” takes the term equity in different ways and it is “undermining our focus for our district.”

Other goal titles in the Strategic Plan include: Academics, Social and Emotional Well-Being, Talent, Operational Efficiency and Communications.

A final document is expected to be submitted for School Board adoption on Nov. 16.

“Equity is such a misinterpreted phrase. It fits whatever people want it to fit.”

Paraprofessionals may also receive raises that have been agreed to by district and union negotiators.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Flagler Schools’ paraprofessionals and school bus drivers will receive raises, pending School Board approval.

The Flagler Educational Support Professional Association members accepted the raises in a union-wide vote Nov. 4. The school district and union negotiators had agreed to the raises in collective bargaining Nov. 1.

Union members ratified the agreement with 74% of the vote in favor and 24% against, said FESPA president Brun Hudson.

The School Board is expected to give its final approval at its regular monthly meeting Nov. 16.

According to the agreement, starting bus drivers without previous experience will be paid $15 an hour, a raise of $1.42. Salaries for starting paraprofessionals will increase $2.96 an hour to $15. As a result, each pay step for drivers will also increase by $1.42 and each pay step for paraprofessionals will increase by $2.96 across the board.

“That change in pay affects all 35 steps in each of those lanes,” Hudson said.

Also, all other support staff employees will receive a raise of 66 cents an hour with minimum pay increasing to $11.75.

All of the raises are retroactive to July 1.

“Those two departments (bus drivers and paraprofessionals) are critical shortage areas that we have defined as three or less applicants for any particular job, and we are close to 30 behind (in those areas),” Paul Peacock, the district’s chief of operational services,

ticed and called the Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy found the man nearby and detained him.

He had a water filter in his back pocket, and admitted he’d taken it from the home’s mailbox. The deputy asked him why.

The man said he “felt that was the right thing to do.” The deputy arrested him and returned the water filter to the victim.

NOT PASSING THE SNIFF TEST 11:25 p.m. 5600 block of State Road 100 Possession of hashish. A deputy was at a gas sta-

told the School Board at an agenda workshop Nov. 2.

Hudson and Peacock both noted that the agreement puts the school district ahead of the curve for Florida’s minimum wage adjustments, which increased to $10 an hour on Sept. 30 and will go up $1 annually until 2026 when it will reach $15 an hour, according to a constitutional amendment passed by voters last year.

REMEMBRANCE WALK HONORS JIM EGAN A remembrance walk was held Nov. 6 at Central Park in Town Center for local school bus driver Jim Egan.

Egan, who died in a motorcycle crash on Oct. 5, drove the bat bus to Matanzas High and Belle Terre Elementary.

Geri Drayton, Egan’s supervisor, presented a framed picture to Egan’s wife, Sue, from his fellow bus drivers.

The picture included a photo of fellow drivers standing by Jim Egan’s bus and the original bat sign from the bus.

tion and noticed a car idling behind the building. When the deputy checked the car, there was a young man laying in the driver’s seat with his eyes closed.

The deputy knocked on the window and the young man opened it, releasing a miasma of marijuana-scented air.

The deputy recognized the young man, who’d recently been arrested for hashish possession and driving on a suspended license. There was drug paraphernalia and alcoholic drinks in the car.

The young man, though not a minor, was under the legal drinking age of 21.

The deputy arrested him.

KIWANIS CLUB HELPS REMOVE INVASIVE PLANTS FOR ‘ONE DAY’ The Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis Club participated in Kiwanis One Day 2021 by helping with invasive plant extraction on Oct. 23. This is a yearly event, held on the fourth Saturday of October, when Kiwanis clubs around the world invite friends and family to unite for a day of hands-on service in their local communities.

The Kiwanis were joined by Key Club, Builders Club and K-Kids Club members from area schools, giving 120 hours of volunteer services.

Kiwanis International estimates

According to the Truth Initiative, since the 1980s, cigarette butts have consistently made up 30 to 40% of all items collected in annual international coastal and urban cleanups.

That means cigarettes have the distinction of being the most littered item on earth, with about 4.5 trillion cigarettes discarded each year.

The filters of cigarettes are made of plastic and are not biodegradable. The filters store enough nicotine, heavy metals and other chemicals from the cigarettes to kill fish and marine animals that live in the waters where the tossed butts release toxins.

To address this issue, Flagler Beach Commissioner Ken Bryan recently secured a grant to receive 75 metal receptacles from Cigarette Litter Prevention Program. The grant is administered by Jacksonville Beaches Go Green, a nonprofit part of Keep America Beautiful.

“I initially asked for 50 receptacles, but after explaining the areas of concern and describing how much

SARAH ULIS GUEST WRITER

At about 5 o’clock, it begins: a sedate drift of boats scattering lights across the water in Palm Coast’s Cimarron Basin. It is Dec. 18, 2021, the beginning of the Palm Coast Boat Parade. As twilight deepens the sky, more boaters begin to draw their boats into the gathering area, exchanging hearty greetings as they glide past one another in polite aquatic do-si-dos. Along the Intracoastal Waterway, even more boats have assembled.

At 6 o’clock, lights flashing, the sheriff’s boat sets forth and guides the parade out onto the Intracoastal Waterway.

A majestic line of decorated boats, cruisers and sail boats interspersed with canoes and kayaks begins its serene procession down a black velvet corridor of lights. Under a moon-bright sky, boat horns blast in response to tooting car horns and cheering from hundreds of fervent spectators lining the shore.

The parade, one of the community’s most highly anticipated events, is now in its 38th year. Four generations of Palm Coasters have enjoyed this unique annual celebration, now considered the largest boat parade in Central Florida.

The parade would not exist were it not for the enthusiastic participation of boaters from all over Palm Coast and neighboring communities, the numbers growing year after year. It all began in 1984 with a group of boaters who would soon form the Palm Coast Yacht Club. The second

cigarette trash we pick up during the city beach clean-up programs, I was given 75,” Bryan said.

Volunteers are mounting the metal recycling boxes at numerous locations around Flagler Beach, to include the Pier entrance, boardwalk, city parks and local businesses. Volunteers and city sanitation staff will empty the boxes into containers donated by the Turtle Shack Cafe.

Once they’re collected, the cigarette butts will be shipped to TerraCycle, a recycling company located in Trenton, New Jersey. TerraCycle has patented technology that recycles cigarette butts into plastic pellets used by manufacturers to build park benches, decking material and shipping pallets, among other items.

According to Litter in America, the Keep America Beautiful National study of littering behavior, shows that just one cigarette butt receptacle decreases the amount of cigarette litter by 9% in a respective area.

year, ITT made it a contest with a grand prize of a trip to Italy. But the club soon echewed that format and offered it as an event purely in the spirit of a happily non-competitive sharing of community holiday spirit.

The official parade has continued without interruption ever since, with the exception of 2013 when the parade was called “because of tornado” and held the following evening and during the 2020 pandemic when an informal group of boaters formed a small but enthusiastic ad-hoc parade for the benefit of on-lookers.

This year, as the world comes back together, the official parade will back in full force. Boaters and party organizers are already mobilizing. This year the parade hopes to attract not only the many boaters who populate Palm Coast, but also representatives from the city’s local clubs and service organizations participating with boats decorated to reflect their activities and missions. This year, the now-famous articulated “shark” may not be back, but something equally exciting is expected, as well as the ever-popular holiday tableaux and Santa Clauses bringing up the end of the parade in the tradition of the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.

For the third year, Flagler Broadcasting is making plans for live coverage of the event, offering holiday music with vivid color commentary and descriptions of the boats accompanied by call-outs and live interviews with participants on the water and the shore. “The Queen of Jazz,” Linda Cole, will be on the air along with Flagler Broadcasting’s David Ayres and others. Grand mar-

shalls on the lead boat are expected to be David Alfin, mayor of Palm Coast; and Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly.

Departing from the Cimmaron Basin, the parade will pass the Tidelands, Marina Cove, the Hammock, Yacht Harbor Village and the Palm Coast Legacy Vacation Resort. It will then proceed under the Hammock Dunes Bridge along St. Joe Walkway and Canopy Walk, pass by Island Estates, Waterfront Park and Grand Haven before dispersing at the Clubhouse Waterway. The parade will be escorted by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Tow Boat US, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Parking continues to be available near European Village for viewing along St. Joe Walkway, Canopy Walk and at Waterfront Park. This year, spectator parking will not be available at Waterfront Park due to an on-going city construction project to enhance water-based activities.

As always, participation in the parade is free, but registration is required, as well as attendance at a captains’ safety meeting the morning of the parade. For registration forms, contact Parade Capt. Robert Ulis at 386-283-5166 or at srulis00@gmail. com. Forms and up-to-date details about the parade are also available at the Palm Coast Yacht Club website at www.palmcoastyachtclub.com and on Facebook. Rain date is Dec. 19.

KIM MEDLEY ADDS TO SUFFRAGE HISTORY WITH FIRST BOOK Kim Medley, a long-serving member of American Association of University Women Flagler County Branch, stopped by the main branch of the Flagler County Public Library on Oct. 28 to present Holly Albanese, director, with two books which add to the history of woman’s suffrage.

The first, “A Vote for Women: Celebrating the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the 19th Amendment,” is a tribute compiled by the 2020 Women’s Vote Centennial Initiative and the National Women’s History Alliance. The second book, “Suffrage, Women & Untold Stories,” is the culmination of research which began more than three years ago and is Medley’s first published book.

In August 2018, Medley presented a simple idea to the AAUW Flagler Board: She wanted to identify the first woman from Flagler County to

register and vote in the Nov. 2, 1920, General Election. The search for that woman led to revamping a skit, originally written by Muriel Levy who died this month, meeting with and filming interviews with the descendants of many of Flagler’s women listed by The Flagler Tribune as registered to vote in 1920, obtaining a grant from AAUW to film “Echoes of Suffrage,” and achieving national recognition for Alice Scott Abbott, a suffragist from Bunnell.

Medley’s book chronicles how the branch promoted 100 years of women voting, and how a long-forgotten Bunnell church from 1916 will offer many in Flagler County the chance to explore the Suffrage Movement.

“Suffrage, Women & Untold Stories” is available on Amazon, and at the library.

Oliva said her plan of attack heading into the individual rounds at the three-day tournament was simple — stay focused, have the team rally behind her and execute. She qualified fourth in the final-16 bracket with a four-game total of 869.

Hagler to fall into the consolation bracket, where she advanced to the semifinals. Hagler went on to take second place, falling to Bell Creek Academy’s Sierra Calo in the final.

The Bulldogs advanced to the state tournament after finishing second behind Seabreeze in the District 3 tournament. They beat Somerset Academy, 3-0, in their first Baker match Nov. 2 before falling

to Seabreeze — the eventual state champ — in the second round.

“We were hoping we would get a chance to play them in the final,” Oliva said of the Sandcrabs. “We grew up bowling on league together every Saturday. We are like family.”

FPC faced off against the Terra Environmental Research Institute in an elimination match Nov. 3. The Bulldogs prevailed in the last game with a score of 181 to win the round, 3-2.

FPC returned the morning of Nov. 4 to crush Fort White High School, 3-0, in the first of four final matches.

They went on to beat Space Coast High School and Somerset Academy before losing to eventual state runner-up Bell Creek, 3-2.

Surfing world lays eyes on Flagler Beach 20th-annual Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic set for Nov. 13-14 CINDY DALECKI MARKETING 2 GO

The 20th-annual Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic presented

by The Surf Station will take place on Nov. 13 and 14 in Flagler Beach.

What began in memory of Tommy Tant — a local surfer who died from an aortic aneurysm at 24 years old — has grown into a beloved event that celebrates the bond of family, friendship and surf culture he loved.

This year’s event will kick off at Tortugas Restaurant on Friday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. with live music and a live auction. Auction items include a surf adventure to Nicaragua, VIP

seats to the Orlando Magic, a weekend golf getaway to the Hammock Beach Resort and Spa, and a custom Channel Island surfboard.

The amateur and professional surf contest begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 13. Some of the world’s best surfers will battle through the elimination rounds at the iconic Flagler pier. Raffle tickets will be available for a chance to win surfboards, surf gear and a one-of-a-kind surfboard wall art. Attendees can also peruse sponsor booths lining the A1A boardwalk.

As the first day of competition winds down, friends will continue the celebration with live music and dancing at a beach party hosted by The Golden Lion at 7 p.m.

The final rounds of the surf competition take place at 8 a.m. Sunday.

Spectators will gather to cheer on their favorite contestants as they

compete to advance to the final match. First place surfers will win a 4-foot champion trophy.

On Sunday at noon, the competition will pause for the commemorative paddle out ceremony, where surfers paddle out past the breaking waves to join hands and form a circle of remembrance. This year, the paddle out will honor Tant as well as Donna Ciancuilla, a member of the Flagler Beach community and faithful supporter of “The Tommy”; she died in February.

To date, the event has raised and donated approximately $160,000 to the Flagler County Food Bank, local scholarships, and the Marfan Foundation. Visit www.tommytant.com.

done in practice and what we’ve worked on. We worked on all the things that we knew that we were weakest at, and it has paid off.”

This is Laura Oliva’s first year coaching the team. She had been exposed to bowling because her husband, Jens Oliva, is the Matanzas boys coach, but she did not get serious about the sport until two years ago. She expressed pride in her team.

“They are an excellent group of young ladies,” she said. “They work hard every single time.”

Jens and Laura Oliva are Madelynn Oliva’s uncle and aunt.

“I feel good. They did great,” Laura Oliva said. “We are losing Madellyn, Akasha (Sneed) and Angelika (Niewiadomska), but I have another niece who is coming up who is a freshman. It’s all in the family.”

F

lagler Palm Coast’s Dakoda Wagner lingered on his rivals’ field after the Bulldogs cruised to their fifth consecutive Potato Bowl victory.

The senior running back posed for a photo with a neighbor and reflected on his high school football career.

“If this is the last game, it’s the way to go out,” Wagner said of the Bulldogs’ 40-0 victory against Matanzas at “The Ship” on Thursday, Nov. 4.

The Bulldogs found out Nov. 7 that they would not be in the state playoffs, based on RPI rankings.

“I want to thank FPC. They have done things for me I don’t think any other high school would do, and I’m grateful,” Wagner said.

FPC finished the season with a 5-4 record. The Bulldogs were able to play just eight games with Orange City University canceling because of field conditions, and Pine Ridge eventually forfeiting after the season opener was postponed.

The Bulldogs started out well with a 17-13 win over Mainland, but a killer schedule caught up to them as they lost to three teams that finished the season ranked in the top 10 of their classifications.

FPC put it all together at the end, shutting out DeLand and Matanzas by a combined score of 75-0.

FPC celebrates with the band after winning the Potato Bowl.

“We got back to the fundamentals four weeks ago, and that’s paid off,” FPC coach Robert Paxia said.

Six different players scored touchdowns against the Pirates, including seniors Wagner, Jevon Santiago and Michael Crockett.

Freshman Marcus Mitchell, sophomore Daniel DeFalco and junior D.Z. Steward also scored.

“We made it a point for the seniors to score,” Paxia said. “We wanted this to be a fun night for them to finish on.”

The Pirates, meanwhile, finished 3-7 in a year of growth after graduating 26 seniors.

“I love the progress we made,” said Matanzas coach Matt Forrest.

“We are a completely different team than what we looked like in Week 1.

I’m very proud of our 11 seniors for laying the groundwork of our culture.”

BEATING THE RAIN

PLAYING BOTH WAYS While his teammates were in the locker room at halftime of the Nov. 4 Potato Bowl, Matanzas freshman Jeff Powell was perfoming with the Pirates’ marching band.

Powell, a JV football player as well as a band member, was promoted to varsity after the JV season ended.

“He’s a JV player that we just started dressing because he does everything right, works hard and just deserved to be rewarded,” Matanzas coach Matt Forrest said.

He didn’t get into the game against FPC, but he did get on the field, playing trombone at halftime, while wearing his football uniform.

Despite rescheduling hours before kickoff, a packed house watched the two Flagler County high schools play their rivalry game. Food trucks lined up outside the field on short notice, and fans began arriving early to beat the traffic after finding out shortly after 1 p.m. that the game would be played a day early.

It was originally scheduled for Friday, Nov. 5, but was moved up to avoid an expected rainstorm and messy conditions.

No time off for football player/musician Jeff Powell (80).

In the third quarter, FPC quarterback Dennis “D.J.” Murray suffered a hit to the head and did not move for several minutes.

Murray, who was transported to the hospital, sustained a concussion and was doing well the next day, Paxia said.

After Murray went down, the Bulldogs scored three touchdowns in a five-minute stretch to go up 34-0.

“Dennis put some pep in our step,” Wagner said. “We’re grateful he’s OK, and he’s going to be back soon.”

SCARY MOMENT

“If this is the last game, it’s the way to go out.”

FPC senior DAKODA WAGNER, left

The Pirates were missing star receiver Noah Cundiff, who sprained his right ankle in the St. Augustine game Oct. 22.

“We ran him around Monday, but it was still bothering him,” Forrest said. “The kid has a bright future ahead of him, and we didn’t want to do anything that could be detrimental (to his college career).”

Without Cundiff, who caught 25 passes in just five games after starting late because of a high left ankle sprain, the Pirates’ offense had trouble getting in gear. That was due partly to the play of FPC sophomore linebacker R.J. Hill.

“He made a lot of plays,” Forrest said. “He was very disruptive. He’s able to cover sideline to sideline.

When you have a middle linebacker that runs through gaps and plays laterally as well as he does, it makes it hard.”

The Pirates’ defense kept the game close in the first half. The Bulldogs did not score until early in the second quarter and led 14-0 at halftime.

line contributed to the Bulldogs’ three-touchdown outburst. FPC made it 40-0 with 3:40 left when Steward caught a slant pass from Preston Roberts and ran 70 yards for a touchdown.

“They have a very good, very deep football team,” Forrest said. “Whenever you’ve got a (Class) 8A school, you’ve got the numbers. They have some kids going both ways, but not nearly as many as we have. Our kids just got tired. They played as hard as they could. They just got beat by a better and deeper football team.”

While Forrest said he was looking forward to offseason workouts and watching the Pirates’ young core continue to develop, Wagner, who has committed to Army West Point, contemplated his transition from high school to college.

“I love playing with my friends,” he said. “I’m definitely going to miss when I go to college. I wish we had a little more time to perfect everything.”

New coach, new style, new attitude

‘It’s nothing to see one of my guys shoot from the volleyball line,’ new coach Henry Robinson said.

386.387.9565

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Matanzas boys basketball coach Henry Robinson doesn’t guarantee the Pirates will win a district championship this year. But he does guarantee they will be fun to watch.

“We’re a wing-guard heavy team. We’re trying to get up and down as much as possible,” he said. “Look for us to shoot a lot of 3s. It’s nothing to see one of my guys shoot from the volleyball line.”

Robinson was hired in May to take over for Donald Lockhart, who left to be the head coach at Pedro Menendez.

Robinson coached at Jacksonville Westside for 12 years, the last nine as the head coach.

“I expect us to be well over .500 and competing for a district championship,” he said.

Matanzas returns shooting guard Dawson Tanner (7.9 points per game), 6-foot-4 wing Ty Smith (4.5 ppg) and 6-3 wing Michael Martinez (6.2 ppg).

The returning players and the newcomers are all excited about their new style of play.

“It’s no-position ball,” Smith said. “Everyone is able to take shots anywhere on the court. We have our center shooting 3s.”

Smith was a post player last year. Now he says he feel more comfortable on the wing.

“On the collegiate level, my size is a guard, so I have to get more used to playing guard,” he said.

He’ll get his chance.

“Everybody gets to handle the ball,” Robinson said.

“Everybody gets shots. Everybody has to do everything.”

“It’s more free for us,” said Tanner. “Coach has confidence in all of us. I think we’ve gotten a lot better. Our main goal is to win the district championship.”

Myles Clymer scores gamewinner as FPC tops Nease, 4-3 Season opener: Clymer scored two goals in his first game back from ankle surgery.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Myles Clymer scored two goals, including the gamewinner, as Flagler Palm Coast defeated Nease, 4-3, in its boys

soccer season-opener, Nov. 8 at Sal Campanella Memorial Stadium.

Clymer scored with 1:23 left in the game to give Ramtin Amiri a win in his varsity head coaching debut.

Amiri and Troy Stone traded roles this year with Stone taking over the JV team.

“It was an effort to push the program forward,” Stone said.

Clymer was playing his first game since undergoing ankle surgery, Amiri said.

“He missed pretty much the entire season last year,” Amiri said. “He played just three games.”

Clymer’s first goal tied the score at 1-1 in the first half. Freshman Aron Binkley and Trevor Stone also scored for FPC. Schmidt Joseph had two assists for the Bulldogs.

The win was the Bulldogs’ first against the Panthers in seven years.

Matanzas cross country teams to states Also, FPC’s Jada Williams finishes third in the strongest region to become a threetime state qualifier.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

The Matanzas boys and girls cross country teams both qualified for the state championship meet.

They will be joined by Flagler Palm Coast senior Jada Williams.

While Matanzas will be competing in the Class 3A races Friday, Nov. 12, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee, Williams will be aiming to improve on her 10th-place showing last year, in Class 4A. “She definitely has a chance to be top five,” said FPC cross country coach Dave Halliday.

Williams is just a couple of seconds off the school record, set 21 years ago by Kelly Walker, Halliday said. That record was adjusted because girls ran 3-kilometer races back then, and now they run 5Ks, like the boys.

Williams is a three-time state qualifier. She finished third at the Region 1-4A meet Nov. 6 at Santa Fe College in Gainesville with a time of 19:28.4.

But she won’t have any teammates to run with in Tallahassee. The FPC girls finished 11th, three spots from qualifying, and the boys finished one spot out in ninth place, just three points behind eighth-place Oviedo. The girls were missing No. 2 runner Cassidy De Young, who had a fever, Halliday said.

Bulldogs, who were competing in the toughest region in the state in unfavorable conditions.

“It was 48 degrees with a 15-mph wind and a driving rain,” Halliday said. “And you’re wearing a singlet and running shorts, so it’s kind of hard to get warm.”

Senior Sean Gilliam led the FPC boys with a time of 17:11.7 to finish 29th.

Junior Zach Spooner led the Matanzas boys once again with another personal-record of 15:55.4 to finish second at the Region 1-3A meet at Majette Park in Panama City Beach.

Like FPC’s Williams, Spooner could be a top-five finisher at state. He had the fourth fastest regional time among all Class 3A runners.

Hunter Smith was the second Pirate to cross the finish line with a time of 17:13.6 for 25th place. The Pirates finished sixth as a team to advance to state.

The Matanzas girls finished seventh and are also headed to Tallahassee. Nina Rodriguez led the Pirates with a time of 20:15.2 for 26th place. Mariah Mills was 30th at 20:25.4.

Plantation Bay prepares to replace its clubhouse

BIZ BUZZ

The community has been talking about building a new one since 2004.

ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS: THE NEARLY NEW THRIFT STORE SCHEDULES FOURTH-ANNUAL SALE

NEWS EDITOR

Plantation Bay’s clubhouse, the Club de Bon Mont, is in Volusia County. But it won’t be for much longer.

The community plans to build a new clubhouse just north of the Flagler-Volusia County line, then demolish the existing Club de Bon Mont.

Flagler County’s Planning and Land Development Board voted unanimously at a Nov. 9 meeting in favor of a site plan for the new clubhouse building.

The new clubhouse will be approximately 28,314 square feet under roof, and three levels, including a golf cart storage area beneath the main level.

It will be constructed on a parcel of land at the intersection of Bay Drive and Plantation Bay Drive overlooking a lake, southwest of the current Club de Bon Mont property.

“The aesthetic that they’re providing here is consistent with the overall theme of Plantation Bay,” Flagler County Growth Management Director Adam Mengel said of the building’s architecture.

It will have a golf cart storage and

“It’s back again, but it certainly is not a new thing. It was going to happen a long time ago and is moving forward now.”

JERRY FINLEY, engineer

BOARD APPROVES REZONING FOR PROPERTY ON STATE ROAD 100 The owners of a 40-acre rectangle of land made up of two properties south of State Road 100 and north of the Flagler County Executive Airport have received the planning board’s support to have the land rezoned from agricultural to industrial.

The property is currently vacant. The city of Palm Coast would provide water and sewer service.

of the clubhouse as overflow parking for large events, and they did so, Mengel said.

“This would likely be in a very rare instance, but we wanted to make sure that there was some provision for that so we don’t have parking, effectively, overflowing the site,” Mengel said.

Russ Reinke, the community representative for Kingsley Circle, said the planned clubhouse will affect Kinglsey residents’ views, and suggested adding a barrier wall or a vegetated buffer of mature landscaping.

Finley said there are plans to add vegetation.

The proposal will ultimately go before the Flagler County Commission for final approval.

The parking and access area will be in Volusia County, and will be reviewed by the Volusia County government.

loading dock on the lowest level, amenities on the main floor and staff areas on the top floor, Mengel said. The land is currently part of the golf course’s putting green.

Project engineer Jerry Finley said that the proposal to replace Plantation Bay’s clubhouse isn’t new: Discussion of replacing the club building began around 2004 and was moving forward in 2006.

“Then things crashed, and it got put on hold,” Finley said. “It’s back again, but it certainly is not a new thing. It was going to happen a long time ago and is moving forward now.”

Replacing the clubhouse building will benefit the community in a variety of ways, Finley said.

“It gets rid of a very outdated facility over there that has several accessibility challenges,” he said. “It’s a long walk from a shelled parking lot, now, up the hill to get to the clubhouse, that has a lot of stairs and difficulties.”

Resident Tim Crawford told the planning board that the current building is challenging for people who use a wheelchair.
