CITY WATCH

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

8 apply for BEAC Eight residents have applied to be appointed to the fivemember Beautification and Environmental Advisory Committee: Robert Branin, Charles Doak, Sabrina Rinaldi, Kevin Saint, Jeffrey Seib, Ronald Silvers, Mary Vasilevsky, Joseph Wright Jr. Seib, the current chairman, has been a member of the committee for two four-year terms already. Other previous members, whose term expired May 1, were Robert Knapp, Edward Beier, Glenn Partelow and Robbyn Mackler.

Recently completed projects, as influenced by the BEAC, include naming the Shirley Chisholm Trail and Doug Berryhill Field, achieving the Monarch Butterfly designation, adding art in public places and proposing revisions to the Green Building Incentive Program.

Mayor David Alfin said this “little-heralded committee” contributes greatly to the quality of life in Palm Coast.

Each member of the City Council will appoint one member, at the May 17 business meeting.

City Councilman Eddie Branquinho, who will not be in attendance May 17, declared his selection early: Branin.

Candidates won’t be asked about ethics Should City Council candidates be asked to sign a document, committing to always tell the truth in their campaigns? Councilman Ed Danko says no.

“Who decides what’s an untruth?” he asked at the May 10 City Council workshop. “We get Joe Biden’s Ministry of Untruths to come in and make a decision for us?”

After a discussion to address Danko’s concerns, Mayor David Alfin proposed an alternative: Rather than inviting candidates to sign a document, which would not be enforced by law anyway, the City Council could give candidates a statement of city-endorsed ethical principles as a way of encouraging them to tell the truth, stay positive and be civil in their campaigns. That document will be presented to the council for a vote on May 17. The principle difference is that the document would not have a place for the candidate to sign his or her name.

The document that was initially proposed is already in use at the county level. Supervisor of Elections Kaiti Lenhart wrote the Statement of Ethical Campaign Practices, in 2018, and distributed it to county candidates — but not city candidates — prior to the 2020 election, because she heard so many concerns about negative advertising and “distasteful” campaigning.

Among the 12 statements are these: I will run a campaign emphasizing my qualifications for office and my positions on issues of public concerns and I will limit my criticism of an opponent to legitimate challenges to that person’s record and qualifications; I will not publish, display or circu-

“‘Will not permit’ seems to put an awfully heavy burden on a candidate.”

City Council member Ed Danko said if a candidate declines to sign an ethics statement for legitimate reasons, opposing candidates could use it as an unfair weapon.

late any anonymous campaign literature, political advertisements, emails, websites, blogs, social media posts, texts, etc., nor will I permit members or volunteers of my campaign organization to engage in such activities; I will not permit the use of untruths or innuendos about an opponent’s personal life; I will not use or permit use of campaign material that falsifies, distorts or misrepresents facts.

The statement also includes a commitment to follow state laws, such as following financial reporting laws and not campaigning within 150 feet of a polling place.

Alfin began the discussion by saying he was in support of the concept and that he hoped this commitment to ethical behavior would “float up to the state and federal level.” However, he paused at the phrase “nor will I permit.” “‘Will not permit’ seems to put an awfully heavy burden on a candidate,” he said. Would the candidate then feel responsible for the actions and words of all his or her supporters?

Councilmen Nick Klufas, Eddie Branquinho and John Fanelli supported the idea of giving all city candidates a copy of the Statement

of Ethical Campaign Practices for them to sign, with possible wording adjustments.

When asked how the public would be aware whether a candidate signed the Statement of Ethical Campaign Practices, Lenhart said it would be public record, so anyone could ask and find out. (Half of the 26 county candidates signed it in 2020.)

“I’m actually opposed to this,” Danko said. “The reason why is not the ethics or what it represents, but, to me, this is the first step of overreaching from government into political campaigns. I mean, what comes next? We then make it enforceable?”

If a candidate had good reasons, such as Alfin’s concern about the phrase “nor will I permit,” and declined to sign it, Danko said, an unsigned statement could be used unfairly as a weapon against the candidate.

“I just don’t think we need to do it,” he said, adding that the statements about following the laws were redundant; the candidates already had to follow the law without having to sign another piece of paper.

Danko and Klufas agreed that it could become a “slippery slope,” with candidates some day being required to sign the document, even though it now would be just a suggestion.

Still, after hearing his fellow council members continue to support the Statement of Ethical Campaign Practices, Danko heightened his tone.

“I suggest we crumple it up and toss it in the garbage can,” he said, calling it “dangerous.”

Branquinho and Klufas said their campaign opponents in the past had been civil. Danko praised those campaigns and said a “gentleman’s agreement” should suffice, without creating a new statement.

That’s when Alfin spoke up and proposed his compromise, and the City Council members nodded approval. Lenhart was asked to work with City Clerk Virginia Smith to craft a document of ethical principles for city candidates to consider, without being asked to sign their names.

Canal dredging City staff is recommending Taylor Engineering as the consulting firm to assess the needs and timeline for dredging the city’s saltwater canals. The initial assessment will take six to seven months, at a cost of $150,000 to $200,000, though that cost is still under negotiations. Next will be design and permitting, which could take 18-24 months.

Inspired to run Palm Coast resident Bob MacDonald spoke to the City Council at the May 10 workshop, encouraging them to participate in the Tunnel to Towers 5K, an event scheduled for 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, at Central Park in Town Center.

The event supports Tunnel to Towers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing services to fallen and injured first responders, military heroes and their families. Mayor David Alfin is planning to walk with MacDonald, and after hearing the plea, City Councilmen Nick Klufas and John Fanelli said they would also join.

Elections 2022 As with previous years, the upcoming city election for City Council District 2 and 4 seats will be administered by Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Kaiti Lenhart, assuming the City Council approves the interlocal agreement with the SOE at the May 17 meeting. Early voting for the Aug. 23 Primary will be Aug. 13-20. Early voting for the Nov. 8 General Election will be Oct. 24-Nov. 5. The deadline for requesting a vote-by-mail ballot is Aug. 13 (call 386-313-4170 or visit flaglerelections.com).

CONSULTANT ALARMED BY PALM COAST’S

AGING ASPHALT Photo by Brian McMillan

Palm Coast have deteriorated from an average PCI of 79 to 75 in four years. They’ll drop to 66 in another four years if funding levels don’t increase dramatically, a consultant told the city.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Palm Coast’s roads are deteriorating at an alarming rate, according to a consultant’s analysis, and if aging roads aren’t paved soon, it could cost the city millions.

The city now spends about $1.5 million per year to repave roads, but that is well below the $8.23 million recommended to maintain what we already have.

Using the 100-point Pavement Condition Index, the roads were rated 79 in 2017 in a laser-based analysis by Transmap Corp. When they were reassessed in 2021, the roads averaged four points less, at 75.

“Our consultants found that alarming when they presented the data,” Carl Cote, the city’s stormwater and engineering director, told the City Council at its May 10 workshop.

If the current funding levels are not increased, the PCI will drop to 66 by 2026, according to Transmap, requiring an even greater investment, since the costs more to repair a road the worse condition it’s in.

The presentation by Cote was in response to a City Council priority to address road conditions by finding alternative funding sources.

ROAD CONDITIONS IN 2021 The average road condition has gone down from an Pavement Condition Index of 79 (out of 100) in 2017 to 75 in 2021 in Palm Coast, according to Transmap Corp’s, latest analysis. The average in Florida is also 75. Here’s how roads look today: Good: 4.6% Satisfactory: 60.8% Fair: 31.5% Poor: 3.0% Very poor: 0.1% Serious: 0.0% Failed: 0.0%

Currently, the city’s repaving program is funded by a portion of Flagler County’s 6-cent tax on every gallon of gasoline, as well as a portion of state taxes. But those funding sources have remained flat over time, while “the cost of asphalt has been climbing, climbing, climbing,” Cote said. “So we’re getting a lot less done.”

Mayor David Alfin suggested that the city ask other cities what solutions they’ve found for other funding sources, so that the burden doesn’t fall to the taxpayers.

“I’m sure others are having the same issue and are getting creative, looking for funding sources that we

HOW WERE THE ROADS ANALYZED?

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR ROADS TO FAIL?

Transmap Corp, a company with 20 years of experience, most recently analyzed Palm Coast asphalt from Oct. 13 to Oct. 21, 2021. The company used a truck outfitted with Lidar, or light detection and ranging, a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser; a Laser Crack Measurement System, with 4,000 point lasers to measure the length, width and depth of cracks in pavement; and panoramic cameras with six lenses to determine asset conditions.

“It picks up information that’s smaller than the human eye can detect,” said Carl Cote, stormwater and engineering director. “You can pinpoint sections of roadways that may have issues or problems.”

The city’s analysis shows that arterial collectors need to be resurfaced every 13 years, while residential roads need to be resurfaced every 23.

“It’s not a flat curve deterioration as the pavement ages,” Cote said. “The first seven years, it stays in really good shape.” But, he said, “you want to maintain your roadway before it’s too bad, because then the costs go up exponentially.”

Each $1 of renovation performed when the road is about 12 years old would cost about four or five times more money if you wait until the road is failing, at 16 years old.

Mayor David Alfin put it this way: “Each time ... we kick the proverbial can down the road, it will take more pennies to fix it, at an accelerating rate.”

Council agreed that road conditions must be addressed.

“It’s a no brainer,” Eddie Branquinho said. “If we don’t go down that path, some of us are going to be drinking some funny stuff,” he added, referring to City Councilman Ed Danko’s claim that he’d rather drink antifreeze than raise taxes.

“Your taxes will go up,” Branquinho warned. “We need to do this.”

“This has been a proverbial can we’ve been kicking down the road,” said Councilman Nick Klufas. He also praised Transmap’s laser technology, which gives the city confidence about the scope and urgency of the problem. “It gives our council the necessary data to have realistic expectations,” he said.

Alfin and Councilman John Fanelli also used the phrase “kick the can down the road,” prompting Danko to say, “We cannot continue to kick this can down the road, because there won’t be a road to kick the can down.”

Danko added, “Roads, fire, police, water — must haves. Which means we need to start making some cuts in order to do what we need to do here.

We can’t just raise taxes. We have to be a little bit more careful with our money first.”

Shootings of two local teens are ‘directly linked,’ sheriff says SCHOOL DISTRICT REACTS TO FATAL SHOOTING OF FPC STUDENT

One person believed to be connected to the fatal shooting of FPC student Noah Smith has been arrested on an unrelated charge. Crime Stoppers has installed a billboard seeking more information.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The fatal shootings of local 16-yearold Noah Smith in January and 16-year-old Keymarion Hall on May 3 are directly related, and deputies have arrested someone they believe is connected to Smith’s shooting, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said in a news conference on May 6.

Crime Stoppers of Northeast Florida is increasing the reward for information leading to an arrest in Smith’s shooting from $10,000 to $15,000.

“We know who did it — and so do you — but we need your information to make a rock solid case for the state attorney,” Staly said.

Crime Stoppers has erected a billboard on South State Street in Bunnell seeking tips. Submit tips to 1-888-277-TIPS to remain anonymous and eligible for the $15,000 reward. (Tips can also be submitted to the FCSO at 386-313-4911 or TIPS@FlaglerSheriff.com, but tips submitted that way will not be eligible for the Crime Stoppers reward.)

Staly and State Attorney R.J. Larizza stood in front of the new sign, which bears Smith’s image, as they pleaded with community members to come forward with information.

“We have to hold the folks accountable that commit these crimes, but we can’t do it unless we can prove it.

So we need your help,” Larizza said.

“We need the community’s help, and I’m begging please help us solve these crimes.”

Pointing to the new Crime Stoppers billboard, he said, “It’s just a damn shame that we’ve got a bill-

board behind us ... with a photo of a 16-year-old young man, teenager, that has been murdered by gun violence ... and just within the last couple of weeks, that makes the second 16-year-old victim. ... And it’s a shame that we have trouble getting folks to come forward.”

People with information are often relatives or friends of the suspect, Staly said. “We want justice for Noah and Keymarion’s families just like you do,” he said. “We ask the family to speak up. Tell us what you know, and help us bring these investigations to a close.”

Bunnell Police Chief David Brannon said the Bunnell Police Department is working with the FCSO to solve the recent shootings.

“But I implore you to please speak with our officers,” Brannon said.

“We’re out here to help you. We want to make this community as safe as possible.”

Larizza said he’s heard speculation about why people won’t come forward.

“Is it because folks are afraid? Is it because folks don’t trust law enforce-

ment? Is it because folks just don’t know anything? Maybe it’s a combination of all of that,” he said. “But we have to do better. Law enforcement, the State Attorney’s Office, and the folks in the community — we’ve got to find a way to stop this violence. ...

How many families are we going to have to talk to? How many times is this going to have to happen before we can find a way to get into these communities and stop this violence from happening?”

Smith’s father, Keith Smith, blamed the suspect’s parents, as well. “It ain’t just the kids, it’s these parents too,” he said. “Because if that would’ve been my son, I would make him man up today.”

Staly did not call the individual who was arrested — 18-year-old Terrell Sampson — a suspect in the shooting itself, although Staly said detectives know that Sampson is “connected to” the Smith case.

“This is an arrest on an unrelated charge; the Noah Smith homicide investigation is active and ongoing,” Staly said. “We also believe that the murder of Keymarion Hall

is directly linked to this case. There are rumors of pressure being made to keep potential witnesses silent in both cases.”

Sampson was arrested May 5 on a charge of possession of a firearm by a delinquent. The offense date listed on Sampson’s jail record is Jan. 12, the date of Smith’s shooting.

Sampson has seven felony convictions already, Staly said, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon domestic violence, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of cocaine and marijuana, possession of cocaine with intent to sell, and resisting an officer.

“This young man has already wasted his future, and will probably spend most of his life in a state prison if he is not killed on the streets if he doesn’t change his behavior,” Staly said.

The two shootings appear to be relationship-related, Staly said in response to a reporter’s question about whether the shootings weregang-related. Smith, Staly added. was “probably in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“It was probable he was an unin-

Flagler Schools officials offered condolences to the family and friends of Flagler Palm Coast High School student Keymarion Hall after Hall's fatal shooting in Bunnell on May 3.

"On behalf of everyone with Flagler Schools, I want to express our sincere condolences to the friends and family of Keymarion Hall," Flagler Schools Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt wrote on Twitter. "The death of one child is one too many, and our community has experienced too much of this senseless violence."

It's the second time since January that Flagler Schools has made crisis counselors available to students and staff due to the fatal shooting of one of its students.

The shooting of Hall, a 10th-grader and basketball player, follows the Jan. 12 fatal drive-by shooting of FPC student Noah Smith, also 16.

FPC basketball coach Derrick Williams posted this quote on Twitter on May 4: "Lord give us understanding. Allow us to stay positive and hopeful in our most confusing, emotional & exhausting moments.

tended victim, from everything we know at this time,” Staly said. “And we’re still investigating Keymarion Hall on what’s going on there.”

Smith urged parents to be aware of what their kids are doing at night.

Gun owners, Staly added, need to stop leaving guns in their unlocked cars, because that’s how kids are getting them.

“I’m confident ... that between community assistance, the detectives that we have, the forensics and the data dumps that we’re getting that are being analyzed — we will solve this case,” Staly said. “The question is how long it will take. ...

You’ve got $15,000 now, and we just need that one piece of evidence. And that’s what we’re asking for.”

Volusia elected officials put transportation subcommittee on hold The topic will be revisited in January after the elections.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Volusia County elected officials are still interested in a transportation subcommittee — but maybe, after the new year?

The Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials met at the Daytona Beach International Airport on Monday, May 9, and came to the consensus that the effort to form a subcommittee to address infrastructure needs should begin anew in January 2023, as there was little immediate interest among the county’s 16 municipalities, and because there will be turnover come the November elections.

At the beginning of the discussion, Roundtable Chair and Deltona Mayor Heidi Herzberg said the only stipulation from the county on the subcommittee’s creation was that a municipality take the lead in the administrative side of the subcommittee by keeping minutes and scheduling meetings.

Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette, who has been vocal on the need for

BRIEFS DSC celebrates new student residence hall In front of an audience of more than 200 students, faculty, staff and members of the community, Daytona State College officials cut the ceremonial ribbon to mark the completion of the new student residence hall on May 5. Located on the Daytona Beach Campus, the four story, 252-bed facility opens its doors to DSC’s first-ever oncampus residents this summer. The residence hall was designed to be an affordable option within reach for all students, including those on financial aid and scholarships.

“Today marks the end of one chapter in the life of our college and begins a new one, with fresh ideas, hopes, and dreams for the future,” said Dr. Tom LoBasso, DSC president. “The impact this facility will have on our campus life will be unmistakable. In this era where everyone wants to be online, the residence hall will help build stronger relationships between faculty and students. It will strengthen the ties with our future alumni and create a positive feedback loop that will in turn make us stronger.”

The campus infrastructure is in place for a full college residential experience, and includes amenities such as a dining facility with meal plans, a fitness center, pool, and recreational areas. Student housing is projected to increase student retention as support services such as tutoring, the library, Writing Center, Academic Support Center, and Career Services, are all within walking distance from the facility.

“We were confident that many of our students, including local students, would want to take advantage of a residential experience,” said Dr. Randy Howard, DSC District Board of Trustees Chair. “Living in the heart of this campus where they can fully immerse themselves in their educational experience – close to faculty, recreational facilities, our wonderful student center and library – this is one more example of how Daytona State keeps the needs of our students at the forefront of everything we do.”

the subcommittee in the past roundtable meetings, volunteered. But he had stipulations of his own: That those who serve on the subcommittee be fully committed, and that there be citizen involvement.

“My problem with it is we’re fractured on our direction about it,” he said. “I don’t want to do anything halfway.”

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington was in favor of delaying the subcommittee issue, not only because of the elections, but also because he said he felt this was a “precursor to a one-cent sales tax.”

In May 2019, Volusia held a special election for a half-cent sales tax referendum for infrastructure projects; it failed by 55% of the vote. Partington questioned why some would think a one-cent sales tax would be passed by voters. Some, he explained, may feel like the half-cent sales tax referendum failed because “it wasn’t enough to meet the needs,” and a one-cent sales tax will pass because it might be deemed enough.

“That makes no sense to me,” he said. “I think there will be double the opposition to a one-cent sales tax than there was to a half-cent sales tax, and that half-cent effort started out well but it just turned into

THE FUTURE OF THE ROUNDTABLE? At the meeting, Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington suggested the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials should meet quarterly in the future. The group currently meets every other month.

He also said he was open to discussing holding the meetings at a different time, as 9 a.m. on Mondays is not only hard for elected officials with day jobs but also for citizens to attend. He suggested the meetings be held closer to the end of the workday, such as around 4 or 4:30 p.m.

“I feel like what we do here isn’t in the public view as a meeting that they would at least have access to,” he said.

a disaster at the end whenever everybody piled in their special interests.”

The projects that could have been funded by the half-cent sales tax ranged from roadway improvements and reconstruction, to new school sidewalks, to stormwater improve-

ments and septic tank conversions.

Partington said a sales tax initiative needs to be citizen-driven.

Volusia County Council Chair Jeff Brower said that if the final outcome of a transportation subcommittee is indeed a sales tax increase, that “it

Volusia medical director retiring

Dr. Peter Springer, who has been Volusia County’s medical director for 16 years, is stepping down from his role. His last day will be July 1, according to a memo he delivered this week to Volusia County Manager George Recktenwald.

“I have been honored to serve the people of Volusia County and I am hopeful that my 16 years of service has made a sincere difference in how emergency medical services have been delivered to our wonderful citizens,” Dr. Springer wrote. “I have never been so proud of the wonderful people that I have been blessed to have the opportunity to work with.

It has truly been an honor and a privilege to be associated with such a competent and caring team.”

Dr. Springer has served as medical director since January 2006.

He works in the county’s Public Protection Department as part of Emergency Medical Administration team, which is responsible for providing clinical oversight to the various emergency medical services providers throughout the county.

Essentially, all emergency medical technicians and paramedics in the county, regardless of their agency, operate under the direct supervision of the county’s medical director.

‘Mentor, leader and trusted brother’: Sean Major retires after 31 years The Palm Coast Fire Department celebrates the retirement of Battalion Chief Sean Major after 31 years.

In 1991, Major was working at a Lawn and Landscape with then-Lt. Mike Beadle. He was encouraged to check out the fire department as a volunteer. Beadle’s encouragement would lead to a 31-year career of service to the citizens of Palm Coast.

He began his first shift as a career firefighter on July 3, 1995. Three years later he would be among the first to respond to the 1998 wildfires that devastated Palm Coast.

When the fire department officially transferred under the control of the city of Palm Coast in January 2001, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Major became among the agency’s first paramedics when

they established their Advanced Life Support program.

Major was promoted to captain in April 2009 to succeed recently promoted Deputy Chief Jerry Forte. After his promotion, he was tested yet again as the first on-scene incident commander for the FEC Train Derailment. He was promoted to battalion chief in January 2017. As captain and battalion chief he has served as the shift commander for C-Shift, where he served as a mentor to many of the department’s members.

“I have had the distinct honor of knowing Chief Major his entire career watching him grow from a novice firefighter to what could be one of the best chief officers in the state” Fire Chief Jerry Forte said.

“He has been a mentor, leader and

trusted brother to all the firefighters. To me, he has been a reliable sounding board to keep me centered and most of all, a great friend. I will certainly miss him.”

Major completed his final shift on May 6, 2022; but he was able to give back one more time before his retirement. The Major name carries on in legacy as his son Tyler, a department intern will begin his first shift as a career firefighter.

He obtained his firefighter from Flagler Adult Education, EMT Certifications from Daytona State College and his Paramedic Certification from Hart Start. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Public Administration from Flagler College.

patients every year to area hospitals.

As medical director, Dr. Springer — who is a licensed, board-certified emergency medicine physician — is responsible for establishing standing orders and treatment protocols for all EMS personnel working in the field.

During his tenure, Dr. Springer established a countywide paramedic clearing program to ensure the competency of clinical providers before they’re approved to provide patient care. He also created a comprehensive stroke protocol, established a stand-alone emergency medical dispatch program as well as an innovative nurse triage program to better assess the medical and treatment needs of callers.

“There’s no doubt that Volusia County is safer and lives have been saved as a result of Dr. Springer’s efforts,” Recktenwald said. “I’m sure the entire community joins me in thanking Peter for his service.”

budgeted revenue freed up in the county’s general fund as a result of COVID relief money the county received from the federal government.

The council approved a long list of projects in February that were prioritized for financial support out of the funds the county is receiving from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA. The list includes community projects for things such as broadband enhancements, affordable housing, mental health and substance abuse, stormwater improvements and the establishment of a juvenile assessment center.

On Tuesday, the council finalized a funding agreement for one of the projects — $1 million to Halifax Urban Ministries to help pay for renovations to create a facility to provide temporary shelter and social services for homeless veterans.

HUM already operates a homeless shelter for veterans in Daytona Beach. But it’s moving the facility about 3 miles away to the new site at 962 Derbyshire Road. The County Council rezoned the new, 2.35-acre site in April to pave the way for the homeless facility. Currently, there’s a fellowship hall, a single-family home, a church sanctuary and a community garden at the site. The plan is to renovate the fellowship hall and home on the property to create 20 private shelter residences.

Pursuant to the contract the council approved on Tuesday, the $1 million will be disbursed to HUM

in four installments — $300,000 by June 15, $300,000 when the building permit is issued, $200,000 when construction is 50% completed and the final $200,000 installment when construction is 75% completed.

The County Council vote on Tuesday was unanimous.

“For instance, during the pandemic, I think that this was very helpful for all our cities to be able to share information and get information directly from certain people,” he said.

But changing the time could impact some municipalities who have workshops or government meetings Monday evening.

The issue will be brought forward again at a later meeting for discussion.

will fail more miserably than the first one did.”

“The public doesn’t think that we’re taking the way that we’re developing, the requirements that lead to more and more infrastructure — they don’t we’re taking it seriously,” Brower said.

Before such a committee is formed, he said the elected officials should form a committee of their own where they speak about topics like what each municipality is doing to examine their comprehensive land use standards to regulate density.

Burnette said that there were a lot of problems with the last sales tax initiative.

“It’s like a Christmas tree,” he said.

“You put too many ornaments on it.

They look nice but it falls over. That’s kind of what happened. There were a lot of things that didn’t belong.”

What he was seeking was an effort to bring into focus what needs Volusia County is facing right now before more growth is added. Since it is being pushed until 2023, Burnette said that each municipality should internally assess and prioritize their infrastructure needs and be prepared for January.

The roundtable will meet again on Sept. 12.

Flagler County disposes of 75 pounds of medications Residents of Flagler County utilized the National Prescription Drug Take Back locations, provided by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, to safely and properly dispose of 74.75 pounds of unneeded or expired medication on Saturday, April 30.

“I want to thank the community for helping to dispose of unwanted and expired prescriptions properly and safely,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

The goal of the 2022 National Prescription Drug Take Back is to address crucial public safety and public health issues. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained by family and friends, often from a home medicine cabinet.

BRIEFS OBPD: Pro wrestler who caused fatal crash was drunk A WWE Hall of Famer who caused a fatal three-car crash on U.S. 1 on March 25, was arrested on Friday, May 6, after toxicology results showed she was driving under the influence at the time of the crash.

Tamara Lynn Sytch, 49, known by her ring name “Sunny,” had failed to stop around 8:28 p.m. while driving southbound on U.S. 1 just north of Granada Boulevard and crashed into a stopped vehicle, according to Ormond Beach Police. The second vehicle driven by Julian Lafrancis Lasseter of Daytona Beach Shores, crashed into the car in front of it.

Lasseter was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police report that Sytch’s toxicology results, obtained via a search warrant shortly after the crash, determined her blood-alcohol limit was 3.5 times higher than the lawful limit to operate a motor vehicle.

OBPD investigators on Friday, May 6, with the assistance of the State Attorney’s Office for the 7th Judicial Circuit, obtained an arrest warrant for Sytch. She was located at the Hard Rock Hotel in Daytona Beach shortly before 10 p.m. and arrested and transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail with the assistance of the Daytona Beach Police Department.

Drug-laced birthday cards sent to Flagler jail inmates Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies recently busted an inmate

trying to smuggle suboxone strips through letters addressed to him from outside the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Facility. The FCSO Special Investigations Unit conducted an investigation regarding two inmates at the jail trying to arrange an illegal narcotics delivery. Deputies determined 26-year-old Eric Marcotte was having mail sent to him, specifically birthday cards, with suboxone strips glued inside them.

Detectives first intercepted a piece of mail addressed to Marcotte on April 27. Detectives found a birthday card with a peeling corner. As they inspected the card, they discovered a silver strip of tape located in between the card paper containing two strips of suboxone. Detectives made a controlled delivery of the “birthday cards” and then arrested him.

“An inmate at the Green Roof Inn just extended his stay,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Marcotte was charged with Introduction of Contraband into a Correctional Facility. Marcotte was arrested in February on two felony charges for Grand Theft and Carjacking. He’s being held without bond. He’s previously been charged in Florida with multiple drug and weapons charges.

Fleeing suspected drug dealer caught at Ormond Walmart

A fleeing suspected drug dealer and his passenger were taken into custody in a Walmart parking lot on Thursday after they fled from New Smyrna Beach to DeLand and finally to Ormond Beach.

The silver Honda Accord fled from an attempted traffic stop the morning of Thursday, May 5, after a New Smyrna Beach police officer saw it swerving on the road with the driver’s door open, nearly colliding with people on bicycles while the driver, Laterrick Jones, 30, of New Smyrna Beach, offered to sell them drugs.

Jones remained held at the Volusia County Branch Jail with a total bond of $43,500.

The passenger, Jonathon Watson, 32, of Daytona Beach, began casually walking away in the parking lot when he saw law enforcement, but was spotted by VSO Capt. Ben Yis-

FCSO hosts 2022 Fallen Officers Memorial The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office hosted the 2022 Fallen Officer Memorial and Candlelight Vigil on May 5 just outside of the Flagler County Courthouse.

The Coastal Florida Police and Fire Pipes and Drums, St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office bugler, FCSO Honor Guard, FCSO Chaplains and family members or relatives all participated during the ceremony and paid tribute to fallen law enforcement officers near and far.

In 2021, the FCSO mourned the loss of Detention Deputy First Class Paul Luciano along with Bunnell Police Department’s Sgt. Dominic Guida, both of whom died in the line of duty. Luciano worked in the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility and contracted COVID-19, ultimately succumbing to complications of the virus. Guida, previously a deputy sheriff with FCSO, worked for BPD and had a fatal heart attack during a training exercise. The ceremony also honored FBI Agent Daniel Alfin, son

of Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin.

“In 2021, 616 extraordinary officers across our nation laid down their lives in service of others,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “These men and women ran toward danger, and 55 of those officers who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our safety were from Florida. ... Memorial services like this one serves as a reminder of the price that is paid by some to keep the peace for many.”

The ceremony honored all law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty: Sheriff Perry Hall, End of Watch August 21, 1927; Deputy George “Son” Durrance, End of Watch August 24, 1927; Sheriff Homer Brooks, End of Watch March 23, 1965; Deputy Charles “Chuck” Sease, End of Watch July 5, 2003; Sgt.

Two felons back at Flagler jail after deputies serve arrest warrants, find drugs Two habitual offenders who have previously faced a total of 27 felony charges are back at the county jail.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 39-yearold Ryan Giovine and 20-year-old Jason Chum on active warrants, and found that both men were also in possession of illegal drugs.

Deputies arrested Giovine Thursday morning, April 28, at the Country Store on County Road 305 in Bunnell after an FCSO deputy recognized him as having an active warrant.

During the arrest, deputies found Giovine in possession of drug paraphernalia.

Early Friday morning, April 29, deputies arrested Chum on drug charges after learning he was in the area and had an active warrant for Violation of Probation.

“We’re going to keep bringing these felons and poison peddlers back to the Green Roof Inn until they are held responsible for their actions by the criminal justice system,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I commend our deputies for their proactive policing. Convicted felons, fugitives and poison peddlers will get locked up every time if they continue their criminal activity in our county.”

Flagler Beach won’t limit meeting length

Flagler Schools plans to expand Matanzas High School in three years, and may also add a new middle school if student population growth continues, School Board member Trevor Tucker said on Flagler Broadcasting’s “Free For All Friday” on May 6.

“We’ve just gotten the drawings,” Tucker said of the proposed Matanzas High School expansion.

The timeline isn’t settled: The district is hoping to break ground in a year or a year and a half, but that could shift, Tucker said. The district will try to have as much of the work as possible done in the summer, when classes aren’t in session.

The middle school is further out.

The district expects to shift the sixth grade from elementary school to middle school starting in the upcoming 2022-2023 school year, because elementary schools are “getting packed,” Tucker said, while middle schools still have additional capacity.

Of course, the grade shift will means a sudden jump in the middle school population.

“If you move sixth grade, you’re opening up space in the elementary schools,” Tucker said. “Then you only have to build one middle school, instead of ... one elementary

school, then maybe another elementary school.”

It’s not yet clear where that new middle school would go, Tucker said, but it will require a site that’s at least 30 acres.

But while the district has no shortage of students, staff are another matter.

“We’re not full. We’re still hiring,” Tucker said.

The shortage is national, and it’s not just a teacher shortage — bus driver and support staff positions are hard to fill, too.

“We actually pay more than our surrounding counties for teachers, and we’re still having problems,” he said.

Tucker noted that the district’s half-cent sales tax is also coming up for renewal, and funds the one-to-one initiative that loans students tablets or laptops.

The devices allowed the district to quickly shift to remote learning during the pandemic.

“We were a model,” Tucker said. “Other districts around the state were calling Flagler County, ‘How are you doing this? How do you have this?’

And it’s mainly because we already have the infrastructure in place with the technology.”

A proposed ordinance designed to prevent Flagler Beach City Commission meetings from stretching on past 11 p.m. didn’t make it to a commission vote during an April 28 meeting, but commissioners said they’d be willing to take some measures to tighten up lengthy meetings, without the need for an ordinance.

Commissioner Eric Cooley had suggested the ordinance, saying the late nights can affect commissioners’ wellbeing and are often a result of poor time management.

“We did not sign on to play the role of martyr because we didn’t manage our time very well,” Cooley said. “... This body has a reputation that goes back for many, many years, before I was even on it, at having ridiculous, marathon meetings. ... The lack of time management in meetings is absurd, and that’s the issue.

And that is not doing city business; that is making it a social event.”

Some recent meetings have run long. Commission meetings start at 5:30 p.m. A March 24 meeting ended at about 10:45, and a March 10 meeting ended at around 11:55 p.m.

The city attorney drafted a proposed ordinance amendment that would have added the following line to the city’s ordinance on meeting procedures: “If a meeting of the City Commission extends beyond 11:00 p.m., such meeting shall be adjourned once all consent agenda, general business, and public hearings have been concluded unless a majority of the City Commission votes to extend such meeting.”

That would mean that on nights when the meeting’s general business and public hearings crept past 11 p.m., the staff reports and commission member comments generally scheduled for the end of each meeting would be cut.

“I don’t want to see any changes,” Commissioner Ken Bryan said. “... We meet twice a month — twice a month, that’s it — to do this business of the citizens of Flagler Beach.”

Generally, he said, com-

mission meetings are over by 8 p.m.

Bryan felt that cutting staff comments would be a slap in the face to staff.

“I would rather cut my comments out to talk about what I’ve done, where I’ve been or whatever, than to cut staff, because they’re the ones that are actually doing the work of the people,” he said.

Commissioner Deborah Phillips agreed with Bryan.

“We were elected to represent the people, and if we have to stay here late, we have to stay here late,” Phillips said.

Commissioner James Sherman said he had concerns about commissioners making important decisions late at night, and suggested adjusting things within the agenda to keep important items from being heard at late hours.

“I want us to be sure that we’re not rushing through something due to feeling drowsy,” he said.

Mayor Suzie Johnston suggested that commissioners reduce their comments when it looks like meetings could run late.

“I think making an amendment to ... meetings closing at 11 o’clock is a lot better than a 110% salary increase, like Palm Coast,” Johnston said.

(The Palm Coast City Council had actually voted itself a 151% raise.) Late meetings, Johnston added, could discourage younger, working residents from running for City Commission.

At a salary of about $500 a month, she said, “It’s basically a volunteer job, and we don’t want to cut out a certain group of our residents.”

“That’s the same argument, a similar argument, to what Palm Coast used to justify their raise,” Commissioner Jane Mealy replied. “I don’t buy it.”

The meeting ended at about 10:20 p.m.

ADVENTHEALTH COMMUNICATIONS

AdventHealth’s Flight 1 program is undergoing a major expansion with the addition of a second state-of-the-art helicopter and, for the first time, a hangar at the Orlando Executive Airport that will allow the program to react faster to calls and fly more patients in need.

For the past 36 years, the Flight 1 program has relied on one rescue helicopter, callsign Archangel 1, to transport

an emergency respiratory therapist, in addition to a flight nurse, on every flight.

The new helicopter can also hold more oxygen and carry heavier loads.

Also as part of the expansion, AdventHealth is leasing a 7,000-square-foot hangar to store both helicopters and some of its ambulance fleet and is renovating an adjacent 10,000-square-foot office building for the hospital’s Emergency Medical Services.

Until now, the hospital system’s helicopter was stored on the Orlando campus.

Slated to finish construction in 2023, the building will house administrative offices for the Flight 1 program and a simulator used to train team members from the flight and ground rescue fleets.

YOUR TOWN PORTUGUESE SOCIETY PRAYS FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE The ladies of the Portuguese Rosary Society of Palm Coast invited the Portuguese community of Palm Coast to come and pray the rosary in Portuguese at the foot of the image of Our Lady of Fatima, for peace in Ukraine, on Tuesday, March 29. The group also announced that it would make a fundraiser collection to send to Ukraine for those in need.

The donations will be given to the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church and it will be forwarded to the Diocese of St. Augustine, and then be delivered to Ukraine.

About 50 people attended and raised close to $700 on behalf of our community.

The Portuguese Rosary Society of Palm Coast was formed in 2009 by Felismina Bico, mother of the late Father António Bico from New Jersey, and she is still the person in charge of the group that is part of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. This group of ladies meet every Tuesday at 6 p.m. to pray the rosary (in Portuguese), and the community is welcome.

They also offer their services to the Portuguese community for the prayer of the rosary in case of need for the sick or family deaths.

The image of Our Lady of Fatima is located in the rear of the church’s parking lot, is made of white marble, was transported from Portugal and donated by two Portuguese ladies to the Church of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Palm Coast a few years ago.

Waste Pro is raising its rates to $25 a month.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Earlier this year, Palm Coast’s waste hauling contractor, Waste Pro, announced a steep increase in rates — 47%, starting June 1. Now unincorporated Flagler County, which Waste Pro serves through a “piggyback” contract modeled on Palm Coast’s, is also facing an increase.

Rates in unincorporated Flagler County will increase from the current $19.82 to $25 per month. The increase would be steeper — Waste Pro will actually be charging $29.77 per month — but the county has an ordinance in place that caps monthly rates charged to unincorporated area residents at $25 per month, or $300 per year.

The county will have to cover the $4.77 per month per resident remainder until it can change the ordinance.

“Essentially, you’ve got a difference of about $4 a month that we are not able to currently collect from the resident that would be receiving the service,” County Administrator Heidi Petito told county commissioners at a May 2 commission meeting.

The Northeast Florida 10-13 Club held its annual Deputy of the Year Luncheon on May 2 and recognized Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Master Deputy Crista Rainey as 2021 Deputy of the Year.

Rainey began her career with the FCSO in 2015 and is part of the Community Policing Division. She was selected for this award for her proactive approach to policing and her ability to stay calm during critical incidents.

Once the ordinance changes to increase the allowable monthly rate, unincorporated area residents will see their rates rise slightly above $29.77 as the county government recoups the money it covered for residents while the $25 per month cap was in place.

The county hadn’t budgeted for the increase because it was informed of the change after it set this year’s budget, Petito said.

The increase was, in part, a result of Palm Coast’s decision to only enter into a oneyear contract with Waste Pro — the city has repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the hauler’s service and is seeking other options.

In Palm Coast, the rate hike takes rates from $20.36 per month to $29.97 per month, while the hauler will be suspending the city’s Recycling Rewards and Hazardous Waste Collection programs and adding new limits on yard waste and bulk items.

“In the short term, we will be covering that additional cost to the resident, the difference between our maximum that we’re allowed to collect and the amount being charged by the waste hauler, but we will go back to the resident the following year when we’re able to put that in the assessment,” Petito said.

Avian flu continues to be detected in Volusia County.

Technically known as highly pathogenic avian influenza, the disease was documented in Volusia County in February when three sick water birds were brought to the Marine Science Center and park rangers at Hontoon Island State Park noticed that black vultures were dying at higherthan-normal rates.

Since then, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has confirmed the virus in 24 counties.

Wild birds can carry the virus but may not always show signs of illness. Vultures are of particular concern because they can pick up the virus while feeding on carcasses.

Domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks and turkeys are also at risk because they seem to have less ability to fight off the disease.

There is a low risk of transmission to humans, but in late April the CDC confirmed the first human case in the United States: A Colorado man who had direct exposure to poultry and the culling of birds. He has recovered.

The FWC advises the public to avoid handling sick or dead wild birds, keep wild birds away from domestic birds, and report wild bird mortalities at https://app.myfwc. com/FWRI/AvianMortality/.

Last year, AdventHealth’s Emergency Medical Services transported about 45,000 people, 1,000 of which were onboard the Flight 1 program.

LETTERS I switched my party to Republican so my primary vote will count Dear Editor: For the first time in 50 years and the second time in my lifetime, I have switched my party affiliation from Democrat to Republican.

The reason I did this is so that I could vote for a very worthy candidate in the primary, and that candidate is Bonnie Leann Pennington.

She is opposing Joe Mullins in the primary for Flagler County Commission District 4.

The sad reality in Flagler County is whoever wins the Republican primary wins the election. Have no fear, Democrats, you can switch back the day after the primary election as I will be doing.

It is very clear to me the Democrats and no-party-affiliated individuals can have a significant effect on the outcome of the election simply by changing party affiliation and voting for a worthy Republican, as opposed to the incumbent.

If 500 Democrats or no-partyaffiliated individuals switch parties to Republican and vote in the primary for Bonnie Leann Pennington the incumbent will lose. Losing the Republican primary is tantamount to losing the election.

Temporarily by switching parties, the Democrats who have had little success in elections in Flagler County can have a dramatic effect on the outcome of at least one race.

I have also agreed to help sign petitions for Bonnie, so when my

Republican friends see me, please ask to sign a petition.

Student walkouts should not be allowed

Impossible for heavy trucks to stop?

Dear Editor: Simply stated, students attend school to learn. Period. If they feel strongly about an issue, they can demonstrate outside of school hours and not on school property.

Dear Editor: We might have a serious problem at the U.S. 1 exit from Plantation Bay with 18-wheeler trucks running the stop light. I was going through the stop light, which had been green for several seconds, when I was just missed by an 18-wheeler trailer carrying a load of plywood, running the red light on U.S. 1, traveling at a high speed and blowing his horn the entire way through the intersection.

If I didn’t slow down to look, basically treating the traffic light like it was stop sign, then I would not be alive today. My wife put this incident on the website for Plantation Bay, and we have had over 100 responses of people relating similar near accidents with trucks running that light.

I recorded the information off the truck as it was waiting to get on I-95 south and later called them.

The driver told me there is no way to safely stop at that intersection if you are carrying a heavy load, and my discussion with the Sheriff’s Office in Volusia verified that as well.

Just a few weeks ago, a tractor trailer was in the ditch at the entrance to Plantation Bay coming from the south side of U.S. 1 and traffic was detoured for hours getting around that accident scene.

Maybe the data does not support doing anything with this intersec-

Take your time on government action Dear Editor: Commissioner Andy Dance is correct. Any government body voting on an issue that has not been thoroughly vetted and discussed should not be voted on. The rationale that things change so lead time on agenda items needs to be short is, in my opinion, absurd.

If an item on the agenda of either body changes materially within a week of the meeting, pull it from the agenda. Neither body deals with things that cannot wait until the next meeting. Pulling such agenda items will result in changes being made with sufficient lead time to study the matter thoroughly.

Thoroughness, not speed, should be the impetus for voting on an item.

Voting on an item that has not been thoroughly vetted is dereliction of duty and a violation of the

Shelly Malikowski: Yes to fixing the problem. But 420k is a ridiculous amount to spend. Who’s your procurement manager? Why isn’t this person doing their job?

Additional early voting site, but fewer Election Day sites Barrier island residents will no longer have to cross the bridge to vote early.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County is increasing its number of early voting sites from three to four and reducing overall voting precincts from 23 to 21 as rising numbers of voters opt to vote early or by mail.

“For in-person voting ... even if you take 2020 completely out of the equation, it’s still on the decline,” Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Kaiti Lenhart told Flagler County commissioners at a commission meeting on May 2. “You can see over time that voters are choosing to vote prior to Election Day. They’re choosing to vote early; they’re choosing to vote by mail.”

The number of voters is expected

to grow to 100,000 from the current 93,155 by the 2024 elections, and possibly by the end of the year. Lenhart is expecting at least 22,000 people to vote early this year — 28,609 people did so in 2020.

The new early voting site will be in Flagler Beach at the United Methodist Church on South Daytona Avenue; the other three are in Palm Coast (at the Palm Coast Community Center and Flagler County Library branch on Palm Coast Parkway) and Bunnell (at the Supervisor of Elections Office).

The changes come as the Supervisor of Elections Office reacts to new district boundaries drawn after the 2020 Census, Lenhart said.

Flagler County’s district boundaries are staying the same for state senator, state representative and congressional district; its house representative district number has changed from 24 to 19, but remains Rep. Paul Renner.

But County Commission, School Board and Palm Coast City Council district boundaries have changed slightly, necessitating precinct changes to align precincts with districts and avoid multiple ballot styles in precincts.

The Supervisor of Elections Office will be sending out new voter information cards about the boundary changes, Lenhart said.

The county is also changing the way polling locations are numbered.

“We’re changing the numbering system so it actually makes sense for us,” Lenhart said. “The numbers right now really don’t mean anything, and they’ve historically just been one, two, three.”

The new precinct numbers will be three digits, grouped into the 100s, 200s, 400s and 500s based on location.

Palm Coast residents’ precinct numbers will start with a five; residents of unincorporated Flagler

County will have precinct numbers starting with a four; Beverly Beach or Flagler Beach residents will have precinct numbers starting with a two; and Bunnell residents’ precinct numbers will start with a one.

Some small precinct locations are being combined.

Precincts 5 (Rima Ridge) and 7 (Community Baptist Church) will now become Precinct 103, with a polling location at the Community Baptist Church.

Precincts 8 (Flagler Executive Airport) and 9 (Flagler County Association of Realtors) will become Precinct 501, at the Flagler County Association of Realtors building.

Precincts 15 (Buddy Taylor Middle School), 16 (Wadsworth Elementary School) and 17 (Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club) will become Precinct 506, at Wadsworth Elementary School.

The County Commission voted 5-0 to approve the changes.

He enlisted in the Air Force Reserve and served as a special agent in the Office of Special Investigations with assignments in the D.C. area and in Japan.

THE FINE ARTS COLOR CUBES Palm Coast resident David Rubello, born in 1935 in Detroit, designed this six-story mural, called “Color Cubes,” in 1972, in Detroit. It remained for over 40 years, until it was painted over for an advertisement — an enormous picture of a cat, Rubello said with a smile. “Public art is for everyday people to see often, and they appreciate it more as it becomes a landmark in their daily lives,” he wrote. “My ‘Color Cubes’ mural has a dimensional aspect where the cubes visually flip, thereby giving the viewer a renewed visual experience.”

The mural led to another commission for a store in Detroit in 2017, and he continues to paint daily, he said. This spring, in 2022, three more designs were commissioned to be painted on outdoor basketball courts in Detroit, and, from Sept. 8 to December this year, a retrospective of Rubello’s work will be on display at the University of Michigan, Dearborn campus.

Drive and surprise Flagler event distributes 162 scholarships to high school seniors BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Converting the Flagler County Senior Scholarship Ceremony from an assembly to a “Drive and Surprise” event two years ago was a matter of necessity.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was how successful the new approach would become. Instead of high school seniors receiving their awards on stage, the scholarship sponsors, teachers and administrators drove to the recipients’ homes to personally present them with their scholarships and yard signs announcing their achievements.

“The Drive and Surprise is the best thing that came out of the pandemic.

It gave so much more meaning than walking across a stage,” said Christy Butler, the Ed Foundation’s student services coordinator.

Foundation executive director Joe Rizzo, who died in March, came up with the idea, so the class of 2020 would not be denied a scholarship ceremony. Now, the Drive and Surprise is the permanent model, only bigger and better.

The 36th-annual ceremony was held on Monday, May 2. Ed Foundation assistant director Rebecca Bower organized the event, which began with a barbecue picnic and debriefing for about 250 drive participants outside of the Government Services Building.

Scholarship representatives and Flagler Schools employees then had a shotgun start, taking 29 district vehicles and five personal vehicles to distribute 162 scholarships worth a total of about $380,000 to the homes of Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high school seniors. Each vehicle made about six to eight stops.

“The excitement we had with the teachers, organizations and with the families was amazing,” said Dr. Jennifer Thornton, the Ed Foundation’s executive board president. “It is inspiring to watch a community come together to celebrate our 2022 graduating seniors.”

Scholarships were provided by 59 business and organizations, including Take Stock in Children, which the Ed Foundation facilitates in Flagler County. Seniors began applying for the scholarships in October on an online platform. After answering questions, they were matched up with the scholarships they qualified for and then they could complete the application process on the same platform.

of Matanzas and Hailey Bovino of FPC. The Flagler Tiger Bay Club and the Flagler Palm Coast Kiwanis also sponsored multiyear scholarships.

Nineteen FPC and Matanzas seniors graduated from the Take Stock in Children program this year.

Students are admitted into the program in eighth or ninth grade. Each student is provided a mentor. The Take Stock in Children’s scholarship pays for 60 college credits at a state

college or university.

The African American Mentoring Program also provided a scholarship for one of its participants — Schneald Castor of FPC — and the African American Mentoring Program for Girls provided scholarships, to Samira Renee Taite-Headspeth of FPC and Sofia Curtain of Matanzas.

The Rotary Club of Flagler Beach and the Rotary Club of Flagler County provided a total of 14 scholarships.

Some organizations sent large groups to the students’ homes. High school teachers, administrators and guidance counselors, and even middle school and elementary school teachers who surprised their former students, participated in the distributions. Students were told to be home between 5:30 and 8 p.m., but they weren’t told what scholarships they would receive.

In some cases, the students had

conflicts. For example, Matanzas’ Bailey Russell had a district baseball game at St. Johns River State College in Palatka, and FPC’s Preston Roberts had a district baseball game at Creekside High School in northern St. Johns County.

Matanzas athletic director Jordan Butler presented Russell with his scholarships — Take Stock in Children and the A1A Burrito Works Kimball Family Scholarship — at the

baseball field. And Christy Butler, Teresa Rizzo, FPC principal Greg Schwartz and Ed Foundation board president-elect Ann-Marie Zweifel presented Roberts with the Joe Rizzo Memorial Scholarship.

“The Drive and Surprise brings the community, the families and the schools all together with a reason to celebrate,” Ed Foundation operations specialist Shelley Wheeler said.

BUSINESS OBSERVER Q+A JAN CULLINANE, ‘THE NEW RETIREMENT’ AUTHOR

Health, friends, finance: the whole picture of retirement BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

J

an Cullinane wrote, “The New Retirement: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life,” in 2004, which reached the overall No. 2 ranking on Amazon.com. The third edition of the book will be released May 10.

So much has changed since the previous edition came out in 2007 that this is almost a completely new book, she said.

Cullinane has lived in Hammock Beach for the past 16 years with her husband, Roger, a CPA. Her other books include “Retire Happy” and “The Single Woman’s Guide to Retirement.” She takes a holistic approach to retirement. A former community college science and health psychology instructor, Cullinane concentrates on well-being while leaning on Roger’s financial expertise. Her philosophy is summed up on a coffee mug that says, “Create a life you don’t need a vacation from.”

Cullinane also has an unusual talent. She speaks backward fluently. For example, “this is what it sounds like,” looks and sounds like: “siht si tahw ti sdnuos ekil,” when Cullinane turns it around.

In a recent interview with the Observer, Cullinane discussed what people should think about before they retire and what it was like to try out for David Letterman’s Stupid Human Tricks.

What is a holistic approach to retirement?

I didn’t want it to just be about money, which so often it seems everything is. I wanted it to be about lifestyle. I wanted it to be about relocation, about health, about making friends, about all the other things when you think about retirement.

It’s been 15 years since the second edition came out. What has changed since then?

The new book is quite updated with more recent research and with anecdotes from people who have lived very interesting kinds of lives. New kinds of communities are being built now. I mean, there’s niche communities for everyone.

So for example, Margaritaville, that wasn’t around back then. But now, that whole idea of a lifestyle where everything is sort of in one place, they’re certainly going after this (showing her coffee mug), about living a life you don’t need a vacation from. Vacation may not be the best word, because I think you need to have some sort of a purpose: to make yourself better, to help others be better.

Some people have trouble with not working anymore. Some people never retire. What advice do you have for people struggling to make that transition?

So many people in retirement do work or create their own job or create their own way of making additional money. When you hear the word retirement, you think of over the hill, you think you’re done being worthwhile. You don’t want to view your life like that. You can reinvent yourself and use (retirement) as an opportunity. I call it the 168 hours a week that people have when they leave their primary job.

When you think about how much our job shapes us, and now you have perhaps 168 hours a week stretching out ahead of you, you need to (find) structure. So yes, a lot of people are not financially prepared.

But when you think of all the things work provides for you: It does give you a sense of your own self worth, it does give you the something to wake up for every morning, it does give you social support, it does give you a structure to your day. So, you have to replace those in retirement.

If you’re thinking every day you’re just going to wake up without a plan, I don’t think that’s kind of a healthy thing to do for most of us.

To impose some structure, I think is important. But it’s also the opportunity to reinvent yourself to do things that you maybe never have tried before. Go places you’ve never gone before or start your own busi-

ness or do something that’s been a passion, pick up a new sport. All those wonderful kinds of things.

Can you give three tips, financially and otherwise, for people who are about to retire?

There are a lot of people who are not financially prepared, that is for sure. I would say you should really start planning as early as possible.

I’d also suggest that you do get professional help from either a certified financial planner or perhaps a CPA if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Nonfinancially, a big thing is location. Your location really drives a lot of your activities. You probably heard that Palm Coast, according to Retirement Living, was ranked the No. 1 city to retire in. I think environment really shapes our behavior.

Just speaking of myself, living in a place where the weather is pleasant, I mean I like to ski and things like that, but I have to say I like the nice whether. I can become an avid tennis player, which to me, takes in all those ingredients. It’s social, it’s exercise. A place like Margaritaville has a club component. A lot of people are extroverts, a lot are introverts. With that club component, if you don’t like initiating things, you have somebody who can set up programs for you and you can just sort of go there and attend and not have to make the effort yourself to create social relationships.

Because, you might have heard that statistic that being lonely is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

We need other people around.

The other thing I’d say is about your house. There’s a concept called universal design that your house should be able to age with you. So, that’s things like having nonslip flooring. If you’re building a house, there’s an entire list that you can get that I actually include in the book. Things like, (doorways) wide enough for a wheelchair if you need to get to that point, an entrance on the ground floor or somewhere you could put a ramp in if you needed to. And if you have children, are you going to live close to them? Are they going to be scattered, or are you gonna go where they go, but then they may be transferred? Those are all the kinds of things I think people ought to be thinking about.

What are some common mistakes people should avoid?

I think a lot of people stay in their house beyond the point they should. They may not be able to easily access it as they get older.

The other thing is being sure everyone has access to all the financial information. Don’t just have the woman doing everything or the

man doing everything. Or if you’re single and you have children, you need to decide who’s going to have access. In fact, one of our neighbors actually wrote a little booklet for his spouse and it was entitled, “If I die.” It had all the passwords and everything in it because she was not interested in that area. But yet he had it all there for her.

Thinking about living in your house and making sure you can age in place, because the biggest predictor of going into a nursing home is actually the ability to get up out of a chair, as far as physically needing help. And so, you need to be sure you’re able to access the things in your house. And the third I would say is the social aspect. A lot of people may be aging in place and then their friends move away or they pass away or the spouse passes away. And so you need to be involved in things so you always have some sort of a social group to interact with. That’s very important for the mind as well as for the body.

What is speaking backward fluently?

It’s a crazy thing. I can visualize the word and then say it backwards.

What was the local tryout like for Letterman’s Stupid Human Tricks?

I thought, mine won’t come across, because it sounds like gobbledygook, right? One woman, she could play the violin very beautifully, but she sat on the floor and she could take her legs and wrap them back around her neck. Now that was visually very cool. Another guy could take his uvula, you know the little thing that hangs down in the back of your throat, and grab it and

pull it out. Another person, and I didn’t think this one was so great, he took an entire roll of aluminum foil, and he balled it up and stuck it in his mouth. The only thing I was thinking was what if he had cavities. Ever bite on metal with metal fillings?

Did any of these people make it onto the show?

No, they didn’t. A (reporter) wrote up a little thing for the local newspaper. He did mention me, and I think he liked words, so he was sort of fascinated that I could do that.

Ever make use of this talent?

Yeah, at the University of Maryland.

Remember speech class? I had to do

the extemporaneous speech. And so I thought, Well, I’m gonna take this ability to talk backwards and use it no matter what (subject) I pick.

So I picked out how to be the life of the party. I said, some people will do this or tell jokes, but I can talk backwards.

When did you realize you could do this?

I think it’s when my parents made us to to church every Sunday. Looking through those missals. From the time I was a kid, I can just visualize the words. Yeah, it’s an odd thing.

The Pumphouse will open in time for Memorial Day weekend A grand opening is scheduled for the new Ormond Beach restaurant.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

It’s official. Barbecue is coming to Ormond Beach’s downtown.

The Pumphouse Barbecue and Smokehouse will be a fast-casual joint located at 124 W. Granada Blvd.

The restaurant is four years in the making, and will be opening in time for Memorial Day weekend, with a grand opening to be celebrated during the weekend of Fourth of July.

For owner Rob West, of Ormond Beach, it’s been an enjoyable journey, but he’s ready to finally open his restaurant.

“Downtown Ormond Beach just deserves good barbecue, and we’re going to bring it to them,” West said.

West and his friend James Friedman came up with the concept of the Pumphouse in 2018. After taking a look at the downtown district, the former blighted gas station at 100 W. Granada Blvd. caught their eye.

He said that they felt there had to be something that could be done with the building.

At the time, he and Friedman were leading a community group of about 30 young adults at Salty Church and every Wednesday night, they would feed them — barbecue, of course.

They found it was tasty and efficient

BIZ BUZZ GROUND WILL BE BROKEN FOR 285-UNIT DEVELOPMENT DOS PALMAS NEXT MONTH The Klotz Group of Companies, a Jacksonville-based private equity real estate investment platform, in partnership with KABR Group, has closed on a $38 million construction loan for their newest multifamily development, Dos Palmas, at 100 Ariella Place in Palm Coast, at the corner of Matanzas Woods and Belle Terre parkways.

The team is expected to break ground on the development next month, and completion is expected in January 2024. Regions Bank provided the loan.

“Palm Coast is great city with great leadership and a strong future. It is currently one of the top five fastest growing cities in the entire country, with a population that is expected to double by 2035,” said Jeff Klotz, CEO of The Klotz Group of Companies.

“This is the perfect time for us to expand our footprint in that market which offers a prime location between Orlando and Jacksonville.”

The 285 units at Dos Palmas will include one-, two- and three-bedroom units.

for feeding a large crowd.

That’s when they realized that there were no barbecue restaurants in the downtown. Together with developer Bill Jones, they worked to change that. Originally, the Pumphouse was going to open in the gas station building at 100 W. Granada Blvd., but the needed changes to the property to make the restaurant a success were too expensive. Today, the building houses Neighborhood Scoop, an ice cream parlor that recently opened.

Jones didn’t give up on the idea, though. He had just purchased the building next door at 124 W. Granada Blvd. and suggested they move the Pumphouse project there, which is part of the reason the restaurant took a little longer than expected to open. “[Jones] was like, ‘Hang with me guys, and it’ll be worth it,” West recalled. “So after we decided to transition to this building and make that building an ice cream shop, it all turned out better.”

West has been in the restaurant industry since he was 18, having worked at The Garlic in New Smyrna Beach most recently. He is also an architect, and the Pumphouse worked to combine his two passions, having been involved in construction when he served on church missions abroad. West wanted the inside of the Pumphouse to have an industrial feel to complement Jones’ vision for the exterior of the building.

The restaurant has been doing catering since about 2018, though

Beach. The new store location measures 5,378 square feet.

The current store will stop accepting donations on May 16. All donations starting on May 16 will be accepted at the new location. The existing store on Granada Boulevard. will remain open to the public until May 31.

The soft opening for the new store will be on June 1, with the official grand opening to be on June 4 from 9-11 a.m.

The public is invited to join staff and volunteers for music, special discounts, raffles, great prizes, and more.

“Our thrift store now has a new manager and a beautiful new space,” said Dawn B. Duncan, director of development. “Please consider donating your gently used items and visiting Rescue ReTail to hunt for treasures, knowing your purchase directly helps the animals at the shelter.”

Store hours at the new location will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Wednesday and Sunday. Visit http://www.halifaxhumanesociety.org/thrift-store/index

STETSON STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR TO BE FEATURED ON NEW TV SHOW There’s exciting news from Stetson’s School of Business Administration: Junior Kendall Buck, class of 2023, an entrepreneurship and management major, will be featured on a new TV show — Fox Business Network’s “Billion Dollar Idea.”

On the show, Buck and other contestants will compete for $1 million in startup funding from billionaire entrepreneur Ben Weiss. The show debuted Tuesday, April 26, at 9 p.m. on FBN. Buck is one of 15 entrepreneurs from 15 cities who will go head-tohead, testing their ideas with the hopes of being the big winner. The show will air for weeks to come on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m.

Weiss created Bai, a revolutionary beverage company that was sold for $1.7 billion.

Buck has already made news with her groundbreaking product, Herbtastic, a kitchen tool that strips leaves from the stems of many types of herbs and spices. She has won several prod-

uct competitions as part of Stetson’s highly successful Prince Entrepreneurship Leaders program.

As a sophomore Buck created her product under the guidance of Lou Paris, professor and director of Stetson’s Joseph C. Prince Entrepreneurship Program, which houses the Prince Entrepreneurship Leaders program.

The product was built at Stetson’s Innovation Lab. “Kendall had a spark in her eye,” Paris said. “She was very articulate and animated, and most importantly she had a deep desire to do it. You never know what you’re going to get as you start developing these ideas. Students can understandably get frustrated and fizzle out on it, but Kendall never did.”

Being on a TV show was something Buck didn’t expect.

“It never occurred to me that I could be doing this while I was in college,” Buck said. “The fact that Stetson encourages student entrepreneurship is amazing and opened up a lot of doors

I arrived in the area in 2019. I was visiting my sister who recently located here at the time. I checked out the area while visiting, and thought it had a lot of potential. I’ve worked in areas that were similar and done well. So I started putting plans together for investing in the area.

“Keep an open mind, take in the good and the bad, and take care of your customers.”

The advice helped me tremendously. Even though it’s hard work, it does pay off if you are willing to commit yourself to always being on the clock.

I have a lot of ideas about expansion and growth, but keeping my ears open to other possible suggestions has served me well.

I love when I see a suggestion box at a place of business. It’s always

good to hear from the public on how you can improve.

What have been the biggest obstacles to opening or running your business? How have you overcome them?

My biggest obstacle in starting my business was figuring out how I would get the capital and financing to start up. I started when I was 26 years old by borrowing over $100,000. Failure was not an option — I took the word out of my vocabulary. My success came from working hard, surrounding myself with other successful business people, feeding off the knowledge they gave, staying away from the negative, learning and taking care of my customers.

SPORTS Sprinting to states BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

This was not the senior track season Jada Williams expected. And yet, her final race at Flagler Palm Coast High School ended the way she might have envisioned. With big hugs and tears of joy.

Williams qualified for the Class 4A state championships in the 800-meter run with the fifth-best qualifying time in the field. The 800 is a race she never expected to compete in this season. But then, nothing has turned out this spring the way she planned.

Williams was one of seven FPC track and field athletes to qualify in individual events for state at the Region 1-4A meet on May 7 at FPC. The Bulldogs also qualified in the

On the girls’ side, freshman Maya Tyson qualified in shot put with a school-record 38 feet, three-quarters of an inch to finish sixth at the region meet and attain the 10th seed at the state championships May 14 at the University of Florida’s Percy Beard Track.

Murray is heading to state as the seventh seed in the 400 after finishing as the runner-up for the second week in a row to Sandalwood’s David Terry. Murray ran a 48.68 into a headwind, with Terry edging him by just over a tenth of a second at 48.56.

Murray runs the anchor leg on the 4x400 relay, which finished second with a season-best time of 3:19.29 and is seeded fourth at state.

Tolbert is seeded 10th at state in the triple jump after finishing fourth at region with a personalbest leap of 44 feet, 2 inches. This is Tolbert’s first year running track.

He started the season using distance spikes. Now he has a pair of gold Dreameagle sprinting spikes.

WILLIAMS SHIFTS GEARS

Williams, who will run for the University of North Florida next year, had several goals this season after finishing ninth in the 1,600 meters and 11th in the 3,200 at state last year. Podium finishes in those two events and the school record in the 3,200 to go with her school record in the 1,600 appeared to be attainable until a series of injuries delayed her season for six weeks.

A severe IT band injury required physical therapy. By the time she could run again, the season was more than half over.

“It was really stressful,” she said.

“Getting back wasn’t easy. Everybody else was getting ahead when I was just getting into it. But my injury forced me to work more on the muscles in my legs, and that made me faster.”

While Williams’ endurance was lagging, FPC head coach Dave Halliday and distance coach Virgil Williams saw her potential in the 800.

“We knew she could do the 800.

She ran in the 4x800,” Virgil Williams said. “We just started working on her speed. She showed early it was going to come.”

In her first 800 race of the season on April 8, she ran a personalrecord 2:23.89. At district, she failed to qualify for region in the 1,600, but she finished third in the 800 to keep her season alive.

Chandler also ran lead leg on the 4x800 relay team that placed second at region with a time of 9:40.56.

The relay, which also includes Nick-

ole Dane and twin sisters Ariana and Mackenzie Roy is seeded sixth at state.

Davis transferred from Atlantic High School after football season.

Davis has the 11th seed in the 200.

He finished ninth in the 200 for Atlantic last year in the 2A championships.

Matanzas milestone: Pirates reach district final for the first time New Smyrna Beach quieted the Matanzas Pirates’ bats with an 11-1 district championship victory.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

After scoring a total of 23 runs in their first two district tournament games,

the Matanzas Pirates were stymied in the District 9-5A final.

New Smyrna Beach pitcher Nick Delucia did not allow an earned run as the Barracudas defeated the Pirates 11-1 on May 5 at St. Johns River State College in Palatka to advance to the regional playoffs.

Matanzas was playing in a district championship game for the first time in school history.

“Obviously, the end result is not what you want, but our players have

to be proud of the fact that they accomplished something no other team in Matanzas history had ever done,” Pirates coach Jim Perry said.

Delucia allowed six hits and two walks in the game, which was shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. Bailey Russell and Michael Martinez each had two hits for Matanzas.

“We hit a lot of balls hard. We just hit them at people,” Perry said.

Matanzas trailed 3-1 going into the bottom of the third inning, but NSB

“Obviously, the end result is not what you want, but our players have to be proud of the fact that they accomplished something no other team in Matanzas history had ever done.”

Five Matanzas seniors — Russell, Martinez, Jacob Cope, Jack Rainey and George Johnson — played their final high school game. They took turns going around a circle, hugging all their teammates and coaches after the district final.

Russell play every position except catcher during his high school career, Perry said. Rainey was a three-year starter at shortstop and center field.

Martinez was a three-year starter at first base.

The Pirates will be young next year, but they should be solid up the middle with catcher Braden Russell, shortstop Gabe Breckenridge and second baseman Brady Novack returning and Alex Ortiz likely moving from right field to center.

Josh Cope was the second of three pitchers for the Pirates against New Smyrna Beach.

scored five runs in the bottom of the third and added two in the fourth before ending the game with a oneout run in the fifth.

The ’Cudas (8-15) tallied 11 hits and three walks and stole five bases against the Pirates.

“They scored 17 against Vanguard (in the district semifinals) and 11 against us,” Perry said. “They’re obviously swinging the bats better than they have the entire season.”

The Pirates finished the season with an 11-12 record. They were coming off a 10-9 district semifinal win against Belleview on May 3. They led 10-2 in the middle of the fourth, but Belleview scored six runs in the bottom of the inning and scored again in the seventh on a hit-by-pitch and three infield hits.

Ben Apfelbach got out of a oneout, bases-loaded jam with a fly to right field that wasn’t deep enough to score the tying run, and a pop-up to shortstop. Belleview and Matanzas combined for 19 walks, but Perry said the pitchers on both teams were not wild.

Bailey Russell pitched three innings.

Spring football: ‘Put up or shut up’ time for Matanzas Pirates Matanzas will have more depth and experience in the fall season.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Matanzas’ football team won’t have a lot of seniors playing major roles this fall, but that doesn’t mean the Pirates will be young.

“We’re young no more,” said coach Matt Forrest, who is entering his third year with the Pirates. “This is a year to put up or shut up. The juniors are now upperclassmen.”

Four juniors are entering their third season as starters. Cole Hash, Sho’Marion Gaines and Jordan Mills are stalwarts on defense, while Dakwon Evans will be entering his second season as the starting quarterback.

Hash, Gaines and Mills will also play on offense, but this season they won’t be on the field all game.

“I think we’re going to have more depth than we’ve ever had,” Forrest said. “We got guys in key positions who can give us 20 to 30 plays in a backup role. That’s something we’ve never had here, and I’m excited to see that.”

Forrest said his junior defensive stars will have packages on offense, but they won’t be on the field for 70 plays on offense and 70 plays on

“I can see the difference when I’m trying to shed a block or having to take a guard head up. It’s a lot different than last year. It comes with a lot of confidence. I think the whole team is confident.”

defense.

“They’re three dynamic players on defense,” Forrest said. “Realistically, they’ll see 20 to 30 plays on offense, and that’s because we have a lot of guys who can fill in those key depth positions.”

Gaines, a safety, wouldn’t mind playing 70 plays on offense and defense.

“I plan on getting a lot of rotation on offense,” he said. “I’ll play wherever I have to, to help the team win.”

Mills, a cornerback, said the defense is balanced with ballhawks in the secondary and tough guys in the trenches.

Hash, a linebacker and part-time receiver, is coming off a third-place finish at the Class 2A state weightlifting championships in the 183-pound class. He said the strength he gained during weightlifting season has been

noticeable during spring football spring drills.

“I can see the difference when I’m trying to shed a block or having to take a guard head up,” Hash said. “It’s a lot different than last year. It comes with a lot of confidence. I think the whole team is confident. We know what we can do and what we can accomplish.”

Having experienced players who are starting their third year in Forrest’s system has made all the difference, the coach said.

“We haven’t had to coach our culture this spring, because our culture is established,” he said. “Guys are giving everything they got. They’re on time, they’re paying attention, they’re listening. We have guys sprinting from drill to drill. We haven’t had to teach kids to tuck their shirts in, wear the right gear, keep

WOOD’S HOT BAT Matanzas defeated North Marion 7-2 to win the District 4-4A softball championship May 4. The Pirates hosted Jacksonville Paxon on May 11 in a regional quarterfinal.

Emma Wood went 2 for 3 with a double, a triple, three runs scored and two RBIs in the district final to raise her batting average to a sizzling .642. She also pitched the final four innings for the Pirates. Freshman Leah Stevens started the game and struck out nine in three shutout innings.

Flagler Palm Coast lost to Ocala West Port 4-1 in the District 2-7A title game. The Bulldogs, who finished the season with a 10-10 record, defeated Sanford Seminole 8-7 in the district semifinals.

Mainland lost in the District 5-4A semifinals, 3-2 to Pine Ridge.

BASEBALL EXITS After rallying for seven runs in the seventh to defeat Jacksonville Mandarin 7-5 in a District 1-7A baseball quarterfinal, FPC fell to Bartram Trail 5-0 in the semifinals on May 3 to end its season.

Seabreeze fell to Orlando Bishop Moore 3-1 in the District 9-4A semifinals May 3.

Calidonio nets spot in elite summer league It didn’t take long for Flagler Palm Coast High School girls soccer coach Pete Hald and assistant Cat Bradley to see that Gabby Calidonio was a natural goalkeeper.

It took a little longer for Calidonio to see it.

“It was hard for me to give up playing in the field, but I realized I could help the team more in the net,” said Calidonio, who is coming off an outstanding freshman season at Division II Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire.

Calidonio started 14 games for the Ravens last fall. She saved 67 shots, allowed just 10 goals and recorded four shutouts. She was named to the Northeast-10 Conference’s weekly honor roll six times.

This summer, she will play in the inaugural season of the USL W league for Florida Elite Soccer Academy in Jacksonville. The USL W is a pre-professional women’s league for college players who are identified as future professional prospects.

The season will run from May 21 to July 1 with Florida Elite playing its home games at Jacksonville Mandarin and Creekside high schools.

Calidonio played on Florida Elite Soccer Academy’s Elite Clubs National League team in high school.

“They said I’d be a great asset to their team,” she said. “This is a really good opportunity for college athletes who want to play beyond college and play against some really good players.”

She is one of three goalkeepers on Florida Elite’s roster. The team’s first practice was May 10, but because of her final exam schedule, she was scheduled to arrive in Florida on May 12.

“I get back to Florida, and I have to drive right to practice,” she said.

Calidonio was a defender before she was asked to play goalkeeper on FPC’s JV team when she was a freshman.

“We needed a goalkeeper on JV,” Bradley said. “Gabby was naturally athletic. She had the gift of height.

She was a great defender, but when she was in goal, she was really good.

Coach Hald and I pestered her a little bit. That first year, there were so

COOKSEY OVERCOMES HURDLES Ormond Beach resident Paige Cooksey was recovering from ACL surgery this past summer. Now, she is ranked 16th in the nation among NCAA Division III track and field athletes in the women’s 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:03.28.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology sophomore is in her first year as a college athlete after last season was canceled due to COVID. She would have missed the outdoor season anyway after her January 2021 surgery.

“She’s obviously fully recovered,” said MIT first-year track and field director J.J. Hunter.

“She’s done an amazing job coming back from that.”

Cooksey, who graduated from Spruce Creek High School, has won just about every week, including the April 30 New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference championship.

The mechanical engineering major was also named to the NEWMAC All-Conference Academic Team.

“She has an incredibly high ceiling with a ton of potential,” Hunter said. “She’s a great athlete. Over the next two years we will improve her hurdle mechanics, and she’ll get even better.”

many times she would say, ‘Coach Cat, can I go in the field?’ It’s crazy how it worked out.”

After her freshman season, Hald told her, “You’re going to be (the varsity) goalie next season.”

At that point, she decided she’d

better really learn the position.

“I never was trained as a goalkeeper,” she said. “So, I decided to try out for Florida Elite’s ECNL team. I realized that goalkeeper could take me to the farthest level possible.”

Calidonio was a three-year starter in goal for the Bulldogs.

“She kept us in so many games,” Bradley said. “She was good in the air and didn’t mind going to the ground.

She was a leader too. She was a great teammate.”

Calidonio said her experience as a defender helps her communicate better with the players on the field.

“I can relate to the girls,” she said.

“I was in their position. I know how hard it is to get back.”

Bradley said the USL W is lucky to have her.

“I’m super proud of her,” Bradley said. “It’s exciting to see all the hard work pay off. When you’re a college athlete, that schedule is brutal.

Gabby did so well in her freshman season, and she kept her grades up.”
