‘Here to serve’: Bevan’s first year at helm of city staff One year ago, on June 1, 2021, Denise Bevan was hired as the interim city manager for the city of Palm Coast, after the surprising resignation of former City Manager Matt Morton. When the permanent position became available, she at first didn’t apply for it, and she never expected to be in her current position as city manager, which was made official Feb. 15, 2022. What changed her mind?

“I know it sounds mushy,” Bevan said in an interview May 27, at City Hall, “but it was a journey.”

Bevan was hired in 2007 as a senior environmental planner, after working in the private sector. She was hesitant about working for the government at first, but she felt welcomed right away, first by Kathleen Maker, in Human Resources, who told Bevan she’d be perfect to join the Green Team, a group of employees assigned to help the city become more environmentally friendly. Bevan still remembers one of the Green Team’s simple yet impactful initiatives: to set the printers to “duplex” as a default, meaning that most paper would be printed double-sided.

“There’s a picture somewhere that shows all the stacks of paper on a table that we’d saved,” Bevan said.

“Having folks contribute in a safe, empowered environment was huge.

That was a great team.”

The atmosphere at City Hall, which was located at City Marketplace at the time, was collaborative, bringing together employees from disparate departments to solve problems.

Bevan also felt her experience in the private sector was valued.

Early in her tenure at the city, staff was trying to get through a regulatory process, and she was invited to accompany then-City Manager Jim Landon to meet with officials at the St. Johns Water Management District. But when they got there, they realized they had been set up to meet with the wrong department. The meeting was not going to be effective, and it appeared that everyone had wasted the trip.

“We’re in the lobby, and I’m standing there with our group,” Bevan

Denise Bevan has been with the city since 2007, serving as a senior environmental planner, administration coordinator, chief of staff, and now city manager.

recalled, “and I look outside, and I see the permitting biologist, the regulatory scientist, that we need to talk to. So I run out there, and I said, ‘Can you spare five minutes?’ She said, ‘Yeah, sure.’

“So she comes in, and we solve it, literally, in the hallway at the management district.”

The city staff members had feared the problem was complex, but it turned out to be simple: A technical element had been missed. “We fixed it in five minutes,” Bevan said.

Since they were already there, and they had the appointment to meet with other officials — in the land management side of the water management office — they decided to keep the appointment and see what they could do. As it turned out, that project involved the permitting of a recreational trail in Graham Swamp.

Again, Bevan’s unique experience helped; she was familiar with the trail project. She was there as a staff member to assist Landon, but she functioned more like a consultant for the city.

“We made leaps and bounds of gains in that brief moment,” Bevan recalled.

Later she was told that, after they returned to City Hall, Landon

stopped in to see Bevan’s supervisor at the time, Ray Tyner. Landon gave Tyner a thumbs up and said, “Good hire.”

Those experiences helped cement Bevan’s place at City Hall and helped her feel valued — helped her feel she had made the right decision to join the city rather than continue in the private sector. Over the next 15 years or so, she rose to the position of administration coordinator and then chief of staff over infrastructure.

Still, when the City Council debated, on June 1, 2021, whom to appoint as interim city manager, it was not an easy decision. Bevan’s name was initially proposed by then-Councilman Victor Barbosa, but Councilman Ed Danko wasn’t so sure, favoring someone from out of town who had been a city manager before. Danko said: “If you’re flying an airplane, you really need to be a pilot, and I would hate to see us put somebody in a position who’s never done the city manger job, where they could possibly fail.”

Fire Chief Jerry Forte was considered for the role, but instead he backed Bevan. “There is nobody in this city that is more intimate with that program than Denise Bevan,” Forte said on June 1, 2021. “She brings a lot of ability to work with everybody within the organization. ... I think what we need now is some calm, some stability.”

Bevan’s response was reserved: “I’m here to serve the city of Palm Coast in any capacity necessary.”

She served as interim for months before the search process began in earnest to fill the spot permanently.

Initially, she didn’t apply to be city manager. But the candidates who did apply couldn’t gain City Council favor, and the search appeared to stall. The opening remained.

But Bevan was nervous to try to take the reins completely, knowing that if she ever fell out of favor with the City Council, she could be terminated as city manager. If someone else was hired as city manager, she could go back to being chief of staff, remaining a key leader in City Hall.

“This organization is so important to me,” Bevan said. “I had to ask, ‘Am

Tune In To

I OK with possibly having to leave Palm Coast if council chooses someone else? Am I OK with that risk?”

Lauren Johnston, who was chief of staff and was out on maternity leave with a 6-week-old baby, took a walk with Bevan at the beach one day.

“You got this,” Johnston told her.

“Look how far you’ve come. You have steadied the ship. You have calmed the waters. You can continue to do this. You got this.”

That vote of confidence made an impact on Bevan.

The other factor was Bevan’s mother. “I talk to my family every week, and they get the Cliff Notes of how my week went,” Bevan said. One day, her mother heard some discouragement or stress in Bevan’s voice, when Bevan was starting the process to apply for city manager.

She asked Bevan — in a tone that Bevan described as “Mama Bear” — “Do I need to come to Florida?” Then her mother said, “I’m the proudest mom that could ever be, and I know you’re doing the right thing for you.”

It was a moment of vulnerability for Bevan’s mother. “She knows that I’m driven and where my heart is. And for her to encourage me says volumes, because she would never want to put me in a position where I couldn’t achieve all my goals,” Bevan said.

On Feb. 15, 2022, Mayor David Alfin made the motion to hire Bevan.

The City Council gave her glowing reviews before voting to hire her.

“I’m very impressed with your performance lately, and I personally want to thank you,” Danko said. “You have my support.”

Bevan again hinted that it had been a journey. “Serving the citizens of Palm Coast and working alongside our incredible team for the past 15 years has allowed me to truly develop a passion to make the city of Palm Coast the best place to enjoy from all facets of life,” she told the City Council that day. “I’m excited to work alongside my team to continue to provide the highest level of service to our citizens.”

June 1, 2022, was the one-year anniversary of Bevan being hired as interim city manager.

Reflect and honor Palm Coast, Flagler County honor fallen service members BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Mayor David Alfin reminded those in attendance at Palm Coast’s Memorial Day Ceremony that the service had not been organized for them but for “those who have given their lives in defense for freedom.”

The city held its ceremony Monday morning at Heroes Memorial Park.

Flagler County held its Memorial Day Ceremony later in the morning in front of the Government Service Building. Retired Army Col. Cecil Hengeveld was the guest speaker.

Hengeveld is a Vietnam veteran.

He was appointed deputy adjutant general for the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs in 2001 and has since retired.

“It is an honor and a privilege to have an accomplished veteran like Cecil Hengeveld help us pay tribute to those who lost their lives in service to our country,” Flagler County Veterans Services Officer David Lydon said.

Palm Coast resident Daniel Hughes, U.S. Marine Corps, received special recognition at the county’s ceremony. Hughes, who was inducted last year into the Florida Veterans Hall of Fame, was instrumental in getting the Jacksonville National Cemetery approved.

“It is a beautiful site, the cemetery, and those sacred grounds,” Hughes said.

The county honored Air Force Master Sgt. Michael Heiser, who was killed in the terrorist bombing of Khobar Tower, while serving in Saudi Arabia in 1996.

Former Navy Seabee Joe Licata, of American Legion Post 115, played taps and rang the bell for final roll call. Frank Consentino read a patriotic poem. The American Legion joined with Matanzas Army JROTC cadets to post and retire colors.

CECIL HENGEVELD’S REMARKS:

The following is an edited transcript of a portion of Cecil Hengeveld’s remarks.

My wife and I have had the privilege, to attend Memorial Day ceremonies at the Arlington National Cemetery, the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, and have visited our fallen comrades at the Normandy American Cemetery.

Each of these experiences were very solemn and very moving.

But, to me, the most impactful and impressive Memorial Day ceremonies we have attended, are ceremonies like this one. In our home towns.

Where, we are with our friends, neighbors and relatives, remembering all who have served and sacrificed for each of us.

Not only does each military member serve and sacrifice for our country, their entire family also sacrifices.

Each and every day, they pray for, and wait for the safe return of their loved ones.

Whether it is their father, mother, son, daughter, sister or brother who dies in the service of our country, for that family every day is a Memorial Day. Memorial Day ceremonies, like this one, provides all of us the opportunity to remember those who died for our country, to reflect upon and honor those sacrifices, and to remember those who are still mourning.

I know that all of us here, have shown, that we remember.

I would like to believe, most of our citizens truly cherish those ultimate sacrifices I am sure that everyone here, who has enlisted into the military, remembers taking their Oath of Enlistment. For those of you who never enlisted, these are the words of that solemn promise to serve our nation:

Color guard at the Flagler County Memorial Day Ceremony.

MAYOR DAVID ALFIN’S REMARKS

Col. Cecil Hengeveld was the guest speaker

“I, (repeat your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the president of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” As a society, we must ensure, that our elected officials appreciate the sacrifices of those who served and especially of those who have fallen.

We must also ensure, that our children, who are our future, learn to understand and value these sacrifices. They must learn the importance of remembering and honoring them.

In Palm Coast, we have been fortunate to have veterans willing to go into our schools and speak about the importance of why we, as a nation, observe Memorial and Veterans Day ceremonies.

We do honor the past. But it is very difficult to pass on, to feel the raw emotion, the passion, and the loss, felt by their families who know all too well, about the sacrifices these heroes, made for all of us.

However, this year, on TV and social media, most of us have seen the daily sacrifices and acts of heroism shown by Ukrainians, as they protect their homeland.

These shocking sacrifices, should vividly remind us, of the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes and their families, protecting our nation in its time of need.

As this is my first Memorial Day as Palm Coast’s Mayor, I couldn’t help but think back to how I might have been feeling on this very day in years past.

I can vividly recall Memorial Day weekends when I was a very young boy. In those days, the holiday was called Decoration Day because it was the occasion when America decorated graves of soldiers with flowers and flags.

I particularly remember that the Memorial Day weekend signaled the beginning of summer vacation – the first chance to go to the beach or have a picnic. For me, Memorial Day memories could be something pleasant.

And then I grew up. Gratefully, it didn’t take long to grasp that there is truly a more profound meaning for Memorial Day. I came to understand that it is a solemn period when all Americans gather in memory of those fallen soldiers and law enforcement personnel who lost their lives fighting for our country. They sacrificed everything they had for me. For my family. For my life.

And I opened my eyes to feel the sorrow of a nation that came together to pause, reflect and remember those deceased but precious friends and relatives so very dear to us.

Now as your Mayor, I am humbled to stand before you to remind you that our service this morning at Heroes Park has not been organized for those here in attendance. Rather, it is about those who are not here – those who have given their lives in the defense of our freedom . . . to those who have protected our lives by giving their own.

Today we are unable to spend this treasured moment in time with someone we’ve lost. But instead, we can collectively hold

that person spiritually in our souls. In this way, we can find strength in each other’s hope for a stronger America and a kinder legacy of those left behind. When we honor and cherish our lost loved ones, their sacrifice is appreciated magnificently.

I’d now like to take a moment to pay tribute to the finest of our own Palm Coast citizens who surrendered their lives by defending our nation. Their names will forever be inscribed with honor on these sacred Heroes Park monuments: U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Michael George Heiser U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. John T.

Struggling with health or housing? You’re not alone. New deal on health plan EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Flagler County and Volusia County agencies, including the AdventHealth and Halifax Health hospital systems, recently completed a survey to assess the community’s health needs, according to Flagler Cares CEO Carrie Baird. Results are still be analyzed and released at a future date, but Baird discussed the community’s challenges Friday, May 13, on WNZF’s “Free For All Friday,” alongside Florida Department of Health-Flagler Officer Robert Snyder, and DOH-Flagler Medical Director Steve Bickel.

The three priorities identified in the survey were 1) access to behavioral health services, which includes mental health, suicide prevention and substance abuse programs; 2) economic and social barriers, including help for housing and child care; and 3) system infrastructure, including the ability to communicate what resources are available in the two-county community.

“Every day, we get calls to our office about people who are still falling behind in paying their rent or utilities, and a lot of the COVIDfunded resources … have gone away,” Baird said. “There is a state program (but) you had to have access to the internet and you had to figure out how to apply. … People don’t know where to go; they just they call everywhere asking, ‘Who can help me pay my rent this month?’

“Unfortunately, there isn’t one simple place,” she continued. Some organizations or programs are funded, but only for a limited time.

“That’s why Flagler Cares has created our one-stop where you can call us and we will figure out the resources, trying to be that middleman between people in need and the services that we know exist.”

Flagler Cares’ Carrie Baird said, in 2017: “In our country there are a lot of resources for the very, very, very poor, but the working poor are often not eligible for these resources, and they, with a little help, could make it.”

Some people don’t know how to define the help they need.

“Mental health issues, or substance use disorder issues are often tangled together,” Baird said, “It’s really anyone who doesn’t feel OK. … We can screen people and find out what challenges they want to tackle first.”

Flagler Cares’ four navigators, which are full-time employees who give one-on-one attention to anyone who calls for help, take on about 100 new clients in a month.

Snyder said Flagler County has the eighth highest per capita death rate related to overdoses in Florida. “We need to do something about that,” he said, and the health department will be getting a grant to provide resources.

LINC FLAGLER VOLUSIA

Another initiative launched by Flagler Cares is LINC, which stands for Linking Individuals to Networks of Care.

WHAT IS FLAGLER CARES? With four full-time “navigators,” Flagler Cares is helping people one-on-one in the community.

If you are struggling with health or housing and would like some individualized help to navigate social service options, call 386319-9483, walk into the Flagler County Village at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Building B, or visit flaglercares.org.

“Flagler Cares started in 2015 with the goal of bringing together all of the parts of our system of care that protect the most vulnerable of our residents,” CEO Carrie Baird said.

“And we’ve grown over time to expand that safety net, identify issues in our system and figure out a solution to those using our staff resources to make a difference and ensure that people have access to behavioral health care — like health insurance or food stamps or housing — to make sure that they can be healthy and stable.”

ty. That’s in part because there is a shortage around the country.

However, Snyder offered hope.

SOLUTION: TELEHEALTH

“There’s a solution to this,” he said.

“It’s called telehealth.”

Baird said Flagler Cares has contracted with telehealth providers, and if someone doesn’t have internet access, the patient can go to the Flagler Cares office and will be provided a computer to use for a telehealth appointment.

“And then, if they have a prescription based on that appointment, we can also help them with our new pharmacy program,” Baird said. “So we’re trying to chip away at all of the barriers so that people can come to our office and access services outside our community.”

Young children don’t respond as well to telehealth, “but teenagers love it,” Baird said.

The pandemic forced a lot of meetings to go virtual, and that has proven to be an efficient solution for mental health appointments.

“Your typical medication management appointment with a psychiatrist is 15 minutes,” Baird said. If the appointment is in person, “you’re driving 45 minutes for a 15-minute appointment.”

Snyder said the health department, located in Bunnell, plans to have a presence at Flagler County Village, in City Marketplace, in the future, considering 92% of the health department’s clients live in Palm Coast.

SOCIAL VENTURE CAPITAL?

Another announcement coming soon, in July, is a project that will provide even more resources for coordinating care in the community.

The health department’s medical director, Dr. Stephen Bickel, called it a “social venture capital initiative, where we’re going to use some of the venture capital principals to help organizations grow to deliver services that aren’t here now.

Flagler Schools employees’ co-pays for office visits, urgent care and generic drugs will decrease.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

The Flagler County School Board agreed to lower co-payments on its employee health insurance plans for the 2022 to 2023 school year.

At a May 25 special meeting, the board also agreed to decrease deductibles for its HSA plan.

The changes will not affect board or employee premiums, according to a report from Brown & Brown.

The cost of the plan enhancements will be approximately $164,000, which will come out of the insurance reserve, a fund that was at $4.6 million from the last plan year.

The co-pays will decrease from $50 to $20 for primary care visits and $75 to $40 for specialist visits for both the standard and premium HMO plans. Urgent care co-pays will decrease from $100 to $50 for the standard plan. Generic drug copays will be $5.

“The items that we adjusted are not really expensive, but I think they give back to employees on the services they use most,” Danielle Boyle, Brown & Brown’s senior vice president, told the board.

The insurance committee recommended the adjustments to make the HMO plans more affordable.

The insurance committee also voted to decrease HSA deductibles from $2,500 to $2,000 for an individual and from $5,000 to $4,000 for a family. The board unanimously agreed.

The insurance committee’s recommendation to a one-time refund for all members of the health plan was not presented at the meeting.

But, Katie Hansen, president of the Flagler County Educators Association, said negotiations are ongoing.

LINC Flagler Volusia is a multiagency data system that enables 20 providers to send referrals to a network of other service providers on behalf of individuals seeking assistance.

“Just the school year, over 1,000 students have been identified as having a behavioral health need and been referred to a behavioral health provider,” Baird said. (Flagler Schools has about 13,000 students total.) “That’s what’s beautiful about a school district: There are so many adults caring adults who have contact with students every day and can identify when something’s wrong.”

School districts take added precautions in wake of Texas shooting Volusia, Flagler ramped up security for the end of the school year.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Volusia and Flagler school district officials reassured parents, students and staff about their schools’ security in wake of the Tuesday, May 24, shooting that left 19 children and two adults dead at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

“Our hearts are with the families and friends of the innocent victims, Robb Elementary School, and the Uvalde community,” stated a message posted May 25 on Volusia County Schools’ Twitter feed.

“The top priority of VCS is to provide students, faculty, and staff with safe campuses where they can work, learn, and reach their highest poten-

tial.”

“It’s just unimaginable that this has happened again,” said Flagler County School Board member Colleen Conklin, who helped organize a candlelight vigil May 28 at Veterans Park in Flagler Beach to honor the victims of the Texas and Buffalo, New York, shootings.

"All of the legislation you see that other states are looking at and that the federal government is looking at, Florida has already done."

TOM LEEK, who represents Ormond Beach in the Florida House

Flagler School Board Chair Trevor Tucker said it’s understandable that parents are concerned in light of the tragedies.

“Any time one of these tragedies happen, parents are always concerned about the safety of their children,” Tucker said.

VCS spokesperson Nancy Gonzalez said the district has a total of 105 school resource officers, school resource deputies and school guardians based throughout the district.

“After (the May 24) tragic events, we communicated with our local law enforcement partners and requested extra patrols and extra presence on campuses for the remainder of the school year (to June 3),” Gonzalez wrote in an email.

With more visitors on campuses for end-of-the-year celebrations, Flagler had already scheduled more officers at the schools.

“Flagler Schools takes the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff very seriously,” Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt said in a message to parents, students and staff on May 25. “We value our continuing partnership with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office as they provide School Resource Deputies for each of our school campuses. You will notice additional law enforce-

ment presence as we end the school year.”

Flagler County’s final day of school was May 27.

After the Parkland shooting in 2018, the state Legislature passed the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act which required school safety officers at all public schools and provided additional funding to school districts.

Florida Rep. Tom Leek, whose district includes Ormond Beach, told the Observer that Florida is ahead of other states in setting school safety standards.

“All of the legislation you see that other states are looking at and that the federal government is looking at, Florida has already done,” Leek said.

But he added that that doesn’t mean Florida can’t do more.

Conklin said a Flagler School Board executive session is scheduled for June 1 to provide the board with an overview of district safety protocols and discuss any possible revisions or updates.

“It’s that time of year when we would look into plans and protocols and hardening our facilities,” she said.

She said she would like to see the district do an audit of current protocols.

Other provisions of the 2018 Florida law included new requirements for mental health services and training and launching the FortifyFL app to report suspicious activity.

“Florida has done a pretty good job requiring more secure schools and has provided the funding to do so,” Tucker said. “It’s a lot harder now to gain access to schools.”

Gonzalez said since the Parkland shooting, Volusia County Schools has hired a director of security operations, created a security operations department and a school guardian program, implemented a singlepoint of entry at every school, added a crisis alert system for employees, added fencing and surveillance cameras, created mental health teams and created a Student Hero Award program to privately recognize students who come forward to report weapons on campus, threatening behaviors or suspicious activity.

“We have learned so much from every tragedy beyond our school district borders,” Mittelstadt said in her May 25 message. “But we know we cannot do this alone. If you see or know of something... say something.

Utilize the FortifyFL app to report any suspicious activity or concerns.”

Jarleene Almenas and Brian McMillan contributed to this story.

Flagler Schools Principals Schwartz and Parton won’t be returning Flagler Schools will hold listening sessions to give the community a voice in selecting new FPC and Wadsworth principals.

pal Mary Kate Parton will not return next year, a district spokesman said Thursday, May 26.

“The purpose of these sessions is to find attributes these stakeholders would like to see in a campus leader,” the district said.

FINDERS, KEEPERS? 2:41 p.m. — First block of Byron Ellinor Drive, Ormond Beach Larceny. A 36-year-old Palm Coast Uber driver reported to police that a group of teens he had recently picked up from a local McDonald’s and dropped off at an Ormond Beach home had stolen his medical marijuana.

According to the incident report, the driver said that once he realized the marijuana was missing, he drove back and attempted to speak to the teenagers. He knocked on the front door multiple times, but no one answered. He could smell from outside that they were smoking his marijuana.

When police arrived, the driver was standing near the property, watching to see if the teenagers exited the home. He explained the situation to the reporting officer, and the officer commented that he didn’t understand how the teens knew about the marijuana if it had been inside his vehicle’s center console.

The man then admitted that the unit was in plain view because the door to shut the console had been open as he intended to use some later “because he was having a bad day,” the report details.

The officer explained the laws about medical marijuana, and the driver then became upset when the officer remarked that, while it was legal to transport the marijuana from the dispensary to a private residence or property, the law didn’t extend to picking up Uber customers. If the marijuana had been

secured properly, the officer said to him, it wouldn’t have been stolen.

The officer did acknowledge the teens shouldn’t have taken it.

The man said he was going to sit out in front of the home until the parents arrived, and the officer suggested he not do that since the incident involved minors and he was a “large adult.” The officer offered to call a teen’s parents and let him know the outcome, but the driver said he was “done” speaking with the officer, asked for the supervisor’s information, and asked to leave. He sped away, upset.

About five minutes later, the homeowner arrived and the officer explained to him what had transpired. The homeowner offered to bring one of the teens out, but they had all run out the back door during the driver’s conversation with the officer.

SUSPECT CHEST BUMPS OFFICER 8:05 p.m. — 600 block of North State Street, Bunnell Battery on a LEO. Police responded to a local bar as backup, and upon the officer’s arrival, heard yelling and spotted a 57-year-old Bunnell man walking toward them.

The man walked past the reporting officer, who noticed he was bleeding from an injury on his forehead. The man continued walking out into the parking lot, and the officer tried to gauge what was going on and if he needed medical attention, unsure if the man was a suspect at the time.

According to the man’s arrest report, the man stood in the rain and refused officer’s requests to move, after which he chest bumped the reporting officer.

MAN BUYS OLD CREDIT CARD ON THE INTERNET 1:02 a.m. — I-95 at the Palm Coast Parkway exit ramp, Palm Coast Possession of ID of another without authorization. A deputy was notified of a vehicle that matched the description of one utilized in a series of diesel thefts and spotted its driver, a 27-year-old man from Orlando, pumping diesel into a container in the bed of his pickup truck at local gas station.

The deputy then observed him leave the gas station, and conducted a traffic stop at the I-95 ramp shortly afterward. According to an arrest report, as the deputy approached the vehicle, he noticed a spilled liquid all over a black tank in the bed of the truck. The man, who didn’t speak English, called his girlfriend to be able to translate for him.

The man denied ownership of the truck, saying it belonged to his stepfather and that he uses the tanks to fuel semitrucks, as his stepfather is a truck driver. The deputy questioned why he only spent around $2 at the gas station, and the man said that gas was too expensive and decided not to continue to fill the tanks.

When the deputy asked to see the card he used for the transaction, he also observed a white credit card that the man didn’t provide. The man said he bought it online and was advised to only use it for fuel; the card no longer works.

Deputies discovered the card expired in 2005 and belonged to someone else. As the man admitted he had used it in the past to purchase fuel, he was arrested and taken to jail.

Chance meeting: WWII pilot flies again Rotary Club volunteers plant neighborhood flags Ormond Beach’s John DiMartino received a special gift for his 103rd birthday.

Residences in Ocean Hammock were decorated with flags in honor of Memorial Day.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Once a pilot, always a pilot.

A local World War II veteran recently returned to the skies after encountering a stranger on Wednesday, May 18. John DiMartino, of Ormond Beach, was celebrating his early103rd birthday with family at Manny’s Pizza House when Steve Searle walked up to their table. The two soon found out they had quite a bit in common.

Both pilots, and both veterans of the U.S. Navy — Searle, of Ormond Beach, is a Vietnam War veteran — offered to take DiMartino flying to celebrate his birthday the next day.

It was a privilege, said Searle, whose father had also served in World War II. “He already was a naval aviator,” he said. “He hadn’t been up in the air for quite some time. He got back up for another flight.”

DiMartino even flew part of the flight.

He will turn 103 on June 24. DiMartino served from 1941 to 1945 and

Palm Coast man arrested after seven-hour standoff The SWAT team used a battering ram to force open the door, which the suspect had barricaded.

MELISSA MORREALE FCSO PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER

On Thursday afternoon, May 26, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance in Palm Coast’s W Section, where 51-year-old Mark Francioni was ultimately arrested after a seven-hour standoff.

A female caller advised the Sheriff’s Office that Wednesday evening, Francioni made statements about killing himself. He then threatened her, saying: “I could kill you right now,” and, “I’m going to put a bullet in your head.” The victim, who was in another room, heard a gunshot, ran to the sound and saw Francioni standing near the bed, saying, “Now I know it works, and you’re next.”

Thursday morning, Francioni continued his aggressive behavior and took the victim’s cell phone, throwing it at her, as she attempted to leave the home. He continued to threaten her life, grow more aggressive and smash her belongings. She then made her way to the front door, opened it and was grabbed by Francioni and pulled back in, screaming for help. Eventually, the victim was able to escape to a neighbor’s house and called 9-1-1.

Deputies responded to the Welling Place residence around 1:30 p.m. to find Francioni barricaded in his home. The FCSO SWAT and Crisis Negotiations Team responded after learning there were multiple firearms in the home and Francioni refused to exit. Throughout the afternoon and into the evening, he made multiple threats to harm himself and others, while consuming alcoholic beverages and progressively getting more agitated. Around 8:30 p.m. after

seven hours of negotiations which had deteriorated as he became more intoxicated and irrational, Sheriff Rick Staly, who was on the scene, authorized the SWAT team to use the battering ram on the armored Bearcat to force open the door, which he had also barricaded. Francioni then began to exit the home but when he failed to follow orders, he was struck with two less-lethal 40mm rubber rounds and was then secured without further incident.

“This drunken dirtbag had multiple firearms in his possession and disturbed the neighborhood for hours,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We knew from the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, who had a prior standoff with him, that we had to be strategic and take forceful action as his liquid courage was increasing. I’m very proud of our team for successfully getting this guy to exit the residence and take him into custody. Hopefully, this guy stays locked up so he can’t continue to threaten our community or the victim.”

Francioni previously was been charged in Volusia County in 2010 for Domestic Battery, Driving Under the Influence and was charged in 2005 in Pennsylvania with Aggravated Assault. Francioni, facing charges for Felony Domestic Battery and Aggravated Assault, was held under a $60,000 bond. Additional charges are pending.

BRIEFS B-CU honors the legacy of Professor Emeritus Cleo Higgins Bethune-Cookman University is honoring the legacy of Professor Emeritus Cleo Higgins after her death Thursday, May 19. Higgins served B-CU in administrative leadership roles as vice president for academic affairs and dean of the faculty 1976–1986.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Cleo Higgins,” said Interim President Hiram C. Powell. “She left her mark on this campus and community in more ways than one, and we look forward to honoring her legacy for years to come.”

In 1945, Higgins became an English instructor at what was then known as Bethune-Cookman College. From 1946-1948, she served as chairman of the English department, before going on to serve as the chairman of the division of humanities until 1956. In 1970, Higgins returned to Bethune-Cookman College as the acting chairman of the division of humanities and was reinstated to the full-time role in 1973. Higgins retired in 1988 after 43 years of educational service, but she continued to teach part-time and volunteer at Daytona Beach schools, local communities and churches, and penal institutions.

Higgins is credited with designing the seal of Bethune-Cookman College in 1947.

Two Jacksonville motorcyclists die in crash on Interstate 95 Two motorcycle riders were killed in a crash on Tuesday, May 24, in northern Flagler County.

Four motorcycles were traveling northbound on Interstate 95 approaching Mile Marker 296 in the left travel lane, at 9:39 p.m. May 24, when the crash occurred, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

A sport utility vehicle, driven by a 48-year-old Jacksonville woman, was traveling northbound on Interstate 95 approaching mile marker 296 in the center lane.

For an unknown reason, the four motorcycles collided into one another, and all four riders were ejected into the roadway. Subsequently, the SUV struck one of motorcycle riders.

Two of the motorcycle riders were pronounced deceased on scene, one 22 years old, one 29, both from Jacksonville.

The drivers of the other two motorcycles, ages 25 and 36, both also from Jacksonville, were transported to local hospitals with non-lifethreatening injuries. The northbound lanes of Interstate 95 were closed for approximately six hours.

FSCO arrests man for punching 76-year-old A Flagler County man is being held at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on no bond after punching an elderly man in the face on May 25. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office arrested 39-year-old Sean Ruel. Ruel was at the Shell gas station on Palm Coast Parkway NE Sunday when he became frustrated and threw a cup of coffee on the ground, which splashed up and hit a 76-year-old man on the leg.

In the gas station surveillance video, you can see the victim walk outside and ask Ruel why he threw coffee at him. Ruel then punches the victim in the face knocking him to the ground and then leaving the area. After deputies arrived on scene, the Real Time Crime Center was notified and provided a description of photos of the suspect.

The 76-year-old man was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

Deputies were able to identify and locate Ruel the next day and eventually arrest him.

Ruel is charged with Battery of a Person over 65. He’s been previously arrested and charged with three DUI’s in California.

Office manager charged in $200,000 payroll theft

The office manager of an area marine towing company is charged with stealing more than $200,000 from the company by inflating her own pay without the owner’s knowledge.

Jamie K. Mann, 35, of Daytona Beach, was arrested Friday on a

charge of grand theft.

The investigation started in April after the Ormond Beach company contacted the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. An initial review of payroll records revealed that Mann had altered payroll several times, given herself three $5 hourly raises and overpaid herself more than $165,000 between September 2019 and April 2022.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered Mann was providing different payroll records to the owner to obscure the true pay she was actually receiving. In addition to her self-approved pay raises, Mann regularly paid herself extra compensation for “on-call” time, and time-anda-half for overtime.

While her estimated annual salary was supposed to be $41,022, in 2021, Mann grossed $122,844 in salary for a reported 4,127.2 hours of work.

Since the beginning of the thefts, it was calculated that Mann stole more than $201,000 in excess pay plus payroll tax costs.

A review of Mann’s bank records indicated much of the money was spent on Amazon purchases, amusement park tickets, home improvement and decoration, restaurants and other recreational expenses.

Mann was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail on Friday afternoon and released Saturday afternoon after posting $50,000 bail.

New fire engine dedicated to fallen hero Marine Lance Cpl. John T. Schmidt III died from injuries sustained in Iraq in 2005.

states and taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonino, Texas. He sustained a chemical injury to both lungs; he later died from those injuries on May 11. Schmidt was laid to rest with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery.

He was awarded the Purple Heart.

Schmidt was known for his love of the Marine Corps; his family shared a story that while in intensive care he was visited by the Commandant of the Marine Corps while under sedation. When coming to and being shown the Commandants Challenge Coin, he immediately wanted to know if his hair was “high

and tight.”

The idea for dedicating a fire truck to the memory of a fallen solider was proposed by Firefighter-Paramedic Christopher Strozier, who is a Navy Veteran.

“We often forget why we have the rights and freedoms we do,” Strozier said. “Dedicating the fire engine to the memory of a Gold Star Families is a small way to show our appreciation for what they have sacrificed.”

The Fire Department plans each Memorial Day to dedicate a fire engine to a Gold Star Recipient whose name is inscribed in the Veterans Memorial at Heroes Memorial Park. In 2021, Ladder 25

was dedicated to the memory of Marine Sgt. Zachary J. Walters; which weeks after the dedication, Ladder 25 was involved in a high profile rescue of a juvenile threatening to jump off an overpass.

“John’s engine will be first in and last out to all the calls for one of our busiest zones and second due to everywhere in the city,” stated Fire Chief Jerry Forte. “We will send John’s truck to ease the pain, suffering and anxiety of those in distress or perhaps just make their day better, just as he set out to leave this world a better place, by his willingness to defend this great nation. We’re forever grateful for his supreme sacrifice.”

Two candidates for School Board’s District 4

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Flagler County School Board Chairman Trevor Tucker is running for a fourth term.

Christy Chong has also filed for the District 4 seat.

They are the only two active candidates in the race; three other candidates have withdrawn.

Tucker said he decided in December to run for the fourth time. Chong, a family nurse practitioner, said she had been thinking about running for about a year but didn’t make up her mind until meeting with School Board member Jill Woolbright and Shannon Rambow, the Flagler County Chapter chair of Moms for Liberty.

Tucker has been a School

"How do we get those students who were behind (after remote learning) back on track? It's a nationwide issue. We were ahead of the curve, but you still have time missed that you have to make up."

TREVOR TUCKER

"I want to make reading and literacy a priority and make sure our children are prepared for the future and know that they have a purpose and identity, not to be confused about who they are but become adults that can lead us into the future."

CHRISTY CHONG

Board member since January, 2010, when he was appointed by the governor to finish out the term of late School Board member Peter Palmer. Tucker won his first election later that year.

He said his most important reason for running again is having two children, ages 13 and 17, who are students in Flagler Schools, with an 8-month-old who will be starting school in a few years.

“It’s a little selfish for my children, but it’s for everybody’s children,” he said.

Chong also has two children who attend Flagler County schools and a 4-year-old who will be starting in the fall.

“I think parents should get involved and not just complain about it on social media,” she said.

Tucker said the most important issue facing the school district is students’ academic loss triggered by the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020.

While Flagler County was well prepared for remote learning, it was not the same

as being in a classroom with a teacher, and many students fell behind, he said.

“How do we get those students who were behind back on track?” Tucker asks. “It’s a nationwide issue. We had less down time in Florida. We were ahead of the curve, but you still have time missed that you have to make up.”

Chong said indoctrination and parental rights are major issues.

“I want to make reading and literacy a priority and make sure our children are prepared for the future and know that they have a purpose and identity, not to be con-

fused about who they are but become adults that can lead us into the future,” she said. “We also need to make sure we are doing the most that we can to make our students and teachers safe in today’s world.”

Tucker has no contributions listed so far. He said he doesn’t begin campaigning until closer to the Aug. 23 primary. Chong has $2,100 in contributions listed — $2,000 are self-contributions — and $698.71 of expenditures for signs.

The Palm Coast Fire Department hosted a Gold Star Dedication ceremony to dedicate a new fire engine in memory of Marine Lance Cpl. John T. Schmidt III, in May. The ceremony took place at Fire Station 21 with the family and friends of Schmidt, Gold Star Families, and Fire Department personnel.

The Fire Department took delivery of a 2021 Pierce Enforcer fire engine earlier this year. The fire engine was placed into front line service at Fire Station 21, known as The Lion’s Den, located at 9 Corporate Drive.

Schmidt was born in Carmel, New York, and graduated from Oviedo High School in 2001; his family lived here in Palm Coast. Schmidt joined the Marines at age 19 and was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He left for his first tour on January 2005 to Al Anbar Province, Iraq with his 3/8 buddies.

Specializing in Northern Italian and French cuisines he revels in working with fresh pasta and hand Now proudly serving Prime butchered meats and fish.

One day, Cadet Chief Master Sgt. Hannah Rasch aims to join the U.S. Navy. For now, though, the Ormond Beach 16-year-old is concentrating her efforts on the Ormond Beach Composite Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol cadet program.

“The thing with CAP is, if you don’t put the effort into it, you’re not going to get anything out of it,” Rasch said. “... I’ve put the effort in, and I’ve come a long way from the cadet that came in.”

Rasch has been with CAP for about two years. A second-generation cadet, as her father had also been in CAP, Rasch has been able to learn more about and prepare for the military since joining.

The Ormond Beach Composite Squadron dates back to the early 1960s. The building the organization calls home is the oldest in the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport, and once used to be a hangar. In the 2000s, the squadron absorbed what remained of the Daytona Beach CAP squadron, and it is the only one in Volusia and

Flagler counties. The other nearest squadrons are located in St. Augustine and Sanford.

Civil Air Patrol is the auxiliary of the Air Force, having been founded on Dec. 1, 1941, years before the Air Force was founded in 1947. According to CAP, the organization aimed to “mobilize the nation’s civilian aviation resources for national defense service.” Its squadrons nationwide help with search and rescue, disaster relief, and security.

But its cadet program, which currently has about 20 active cadets in Ormond Beach, targets aerospace and STEM education, as well as leadership.

“When it comes specifically to the cadet program, it’s really a development of leadership,” said Capt. Eddie Marcal.

About 10% of the U.S. Air Force Academy is made up of former CAP cadets, said Lt. Col Ryan Wallace. The program is open to children ages 12, and they are able to remain until they’re 21, though once they turn 18, they can opt to join the senior ranks of CAP. “They obtain rank, they have the opportunity to learn about drilling ceremonies, respect to the flag, they have a moral or ethical leadership series of seminars,” Wallace said. “So they are literally developing themselves in the code to be of service to their

Cadets practice a drill and ceremony outside of their headquarters.

community, state and nation.”

It was through CAP’s cadet program that Wallace discovered he had a passion for the military, and later joined the Air Force. Marcal is also a former cadet, and his son is now in the program too.

Joining the cadet program also gives children the opportunity to fly a plane with a qualified pilot, a perk if they are especially interested in aviation. Marcal said that, in addition, cadets participate in national youth aerospace initiatives such CAP’s high altitude balloon challenge, a STEM-based competition where cadets conduct experiments within a small capsule, to be later launched to 100,000 feet and returned for later analyses.

The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County (DOH-Flagler) urges residents to prepare for the rapidly approaching hurricane season, especially with the passing of National Hurricane Preparedness Week: May 1 to May 7.

“Every year, hurricane season is anticipated to start earlier, and you can never be too prepared,” said Robert Snyder, DOH-Flagler Health Officer, “Flagler County was fortunate last year, but if we think about how Irma and Matthew impacted us, Flagler residents shouldn’t take storm preparation for granted.”

The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County advises starting early to update emergency plans, restock hurricane supplies, and confirm registration for

special needs shelter accommodation. The following tips are suggested as a “Plan of Action” for the 2022 hurricane season: Determine the risks to your home, property, or business; make repairs as needed, clean up debris, and trim trees.

Develop or update an emergency evacuation plan and review the plan carefully with your family and children – don’t forget to include your pets in your evacuation plan; Make sure you have adequate insurance by contacting your insurance company or agent; make copies of all essential documents and seal them in a waterproof bag.

Assemble a disaster supply kit.

Identify your trusted sources of information for any severe weather event or hurricane. Credible and timely information is critical to taking the appropriate actions in the event of an emergency; and Complete a written hurricane plan and keep it in a safe, easily accessible location.

Everyone living in Florida should have an emergency preparedness kit that meets their specific needs. Items to include, replenish and replace are: Water (at least one gallon a day per person for 5-7 days); Nonperishable packaged or canned food (enough for at

least 5 to 7 days).

Any necessary medications in their prescribed bottles (enough for two weeks).

First aid kit.

Flashlights with extra batteries.

Weather band radio.

Lanterns, candles, and matches.

Fuel and propane.

With Habitat for Humanity’s help, woman opens door to a new life Leticia Garner can now pursue her dream of becoming a foster parent.

“They ask you, ‘What does owning a home mean to you?’ To me, it means freedom, not being rent broke anymore.”

BRENT WORONOFF

LETICIA GARNER

STAFF WRITER

Leticia Garner has always wanted to be a foster parent. Now that she owns her own home, her dream is on the way to becoming a reality.

She is scheduled to begin her foster parent training on June 2, six days after she cut the ribbon on her Palm Coast home, made possible through Flagler Habitat for Humanity.

“I don’t think it can be any better than to start the weekend this way,” Flagler Habitat for Humanity Executive Director Lindsay Elliott said to open the home dedication on May 27.

Holding her Shih Tzu mix, Georgie, and surrounded by her friends and four godchildren — Brian, Abigail, Rosalie and Isabella — Garner cut the pink ribbon and entered the new house for the first time as a homeowner.

“She is awesome,” Elliott said.

“Just a ball of energy.”

The process took over two years of perseverance.

“It would have been so easy to give up, but I didn’t,” said Garner after Flagler Habitat for Humanity Construction Manager John Knox presented her with a gold hammer. Her friend Joan Findley also presented her with a Bible, and Yolanda Boone performed a house blessing.

Garner didn’t get selected the first time she applied to Habitat for Humanity. After paying off her car loan and school loan, she applied again and was selected. But that was

about the time when the pandemic hit and home construction came to a halt.

She ended up doing a lot of her 250 sweat equity hours at Habitat’s Palm Coast ReStore. Last August, she spent two weeks in the hospital with COVID and then she was on 24 hours of oxygen for a few months after that, she said. A car accident set her back further.

“I recovered just in time to start building,” Garner said.

To be eligible for a Habitat for Humanity home, applicants must put in 250 hours of sweat equity.

partner families’ homes and doing homeowner training. Garner took nine week-long classes covering such things as hurricane preparedness, fire safety, code enforcement, home care and repair, homeowner’s insurance and mortgages.

“We try to set them up as much as possible to be successful,” said Elliott, who has been with Habitat for Humanity for 21 years, the past 16 in Flagler County. “Habitat becomes a family. We’re able to help them through the process. We’re a social service, a construction company, and we become their mortgage company.”

The last 100 hours of sweat equity are spent helping build your own home. Normally a 16-week process, Garner’s home took six months to build because of material shortages.

Garner originally heard about Habitat for Humanity through her friend, Melissa Rodriguez, who went to an orientation but didn’t qualify.

“She came back and said, ‘Leticia, I think this is for you,’” Garner recalled. “She planted the seed. But it took me a year to take action.”

Garner works at Epic Behavioral Healthcare as a substance abuse peer recovery specialist.

“I help people who need help with substance abuse,” she said. “I’m there to listen. I’ve been in recovery myself for eight years.”

She is four credits short of earning her bachelor’s degree. She is active at Calvary Christian Center Palm

Coast, serving with Boone in Calvary Kids. Georgie is a rescue dog, but Garner says they rescued each other.

With a 20-year, no-interest loan through Habitat, her mortgage payments with escrow for her threebedroom, two-bath home will be just under $700, Elliott said. Garner had been paying $1,350 in rent for a one-bedroom apartment.

To be a foster parent, each child has to have his or her own room. Now, Garner meets that requirement. She also has a yard that Georgie and the kids can run around in.

“They ask you, ‘What does owning a home mean to you?’” she said of Habitat. “To me, it means freedom, not being rent broke anymore, where most of your salary goes to rent.”

She said she was surprised that a single person could qualify for a Habitat for Humanity home. But after helping people in recovery, serving in her church, signing up to be a foster parent and rescuing Georgie, it was finally Garner’s opportunity to be rescued.

LETTERS I also switched parties to vote in the primary Dear Editor: Kudos to John Brady and his decision to change his political registration (temporarily) from Democrat to Republican. John did this to help ensure his choice for the Flagler County Commission has a chance to win.

Several months ago, I did the same thing. After being a moderate Democrat for 56 years, I too switched parties to become a moderate Republican. Why, you ask? I did it to vote in the Primary Elections in order to keep the “far right” from winning and destroying our democracy. After the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, I had to do something. Three events in my lifetime have greatly disturbed me: the Challenger exposition, the Sept. 11 attack on our country, and the Jan. 6 insurrection at our U.S. Capitol, which I watched with tears in my eyes. I firmly believe that Mike Pence saved our democracy that day.

The idea here is the old adage: “If you can’t beat them, join them.” If you are a moderate Republican running for office, please let the public know so we can vote for you.

DAVID COX Palm Coast

Fix the city of Palm Coast’s code problem Dear Editor: I agree wholeheartedly with Cathy Heighter in her statements at the recent City Council meeting regarding the matter that something has to be done with the debris in front of homes. But I would like to add the garbage pails and recycling bins lined up in front of the garages.

I have been in a one-woman crusade for 2.5 years with getting Code Enforcement to do something. I have been to city meetings. I have also met with the mayor. I have been fighting these years to make it mandatory for real estate agents to hand out the book of violations like they had to back in the ITT days.

I have no problem giving my name when I report a violation. I call no mattter what neighborhood I am in. With all this building going on, try to picture “beautiful” Palm Coast in two years. There are not enough code enforcers, and nothing is being done with these booklets regardless what I was told.

PAT BARILE Palm Coast

Local evidence of federal government problems Dear Editor: Let me get this straight: A tree falls on my house, and I can get

$163,364 in federally funded home repairs. And we’ve got a City Council member who said, “The funds that are coming down are federal dollars, so there’s no local impact on the community.” Another council member said, “it’s definitely going to be a life saver for the resident.”

Now I know why we have nonpartisan local elections which are supposed to be free from party affiliations, bias or designation.

To me it’s just a way to get elected in a Republican County (Flagler) although you are a Democrat but nobody knows.

No matter what happens, the Democratic Party will bail you out.

The Friends of A1A wanted $500,000 in federal grant money to build a Visitor Experience Center; a representative at the Department of Transportation suggested they ask for more, so the Friends of A1A asked for $3.6 million.

The federal government’s main purpose was to provide for the common defense; now its main purpose is to provide for the trifling and lazy from the womb to the tomb. I served in the U.S. Navy for four years, and this was my country right or wrong; the federal government we have today has gone beyond wrong; it’s criminal!

the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he revisited the hours of tape, which he called a “treasure trove” that allowed him to tell his uncle’s story in a new way. This is his fourth book.

“Every person in the book was real, every event described took place,” Baumer said. “I created dialogue. To a reader, they would think, ‘You are him. You marched with him, at the very least. You saw the things he saw, you experienced the things he did ...’

And it was an incredible journey for me to be able to do that.”

$13,000 RAISED FOR FLAGLER FREE CLINIC On May 9, with support from Hammock Beach Club members and management, a “Heaven or Hell” auction was held to raise funds — more than $13,000 — for the Flagler County Free Clinic.

The not-for-profit clinic provides medical and dental care to the uninsured and economically challenged citizens of Flagler and Volusia counties. The auction consisted of wrapped gifts contributed by members and by the club, which donated gift certificates for restaurants, tennis lessons, golf lessons, rounds of golf and tee markers.

But the catch? In addition to the

Ormond author tells uncle’s WWII story Ormond Beach resident Bob Baumer never met his uncle in person, but he’s spent 30 years piecing together his World War II story, a journey for Baumer that revolved around a Purple Heart medal.

Private First Class Robert Arthur Baummer enlisted in the army in 1940 at the age of 19. Known as Bobby to his family, he was a happygo-lucky kid who had gotten himself in a bit of trouble, having shot out a streetlight with a BB gun, before deciding to join the military, one year before the attack on Pearl Harbor. He only expected to serve a year, but after the bombing, everything changed. He didn’t know it then, but he would play a part in history; part of the 1st Infantry Division, he was at Omaha Beach the morning of D-Day, and it was his battalion that aided in other soldiers being able to survive that battle.

He left the beach that day. But three days later, Bobby was killed.

He was 23.

It’s a story his nephew, Baumer, who was named after his uncle, has immortalized in the pages of his new book, titled, “The Journey of the Purple Heart.” The book tells Bobby’s story through the viewpoints of his friends, his company captain and others he served with, all of whom Baumer spent hours interviewing for past books on World War II.

YOUR TOWN The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office celebrated the volunteer Citizens on Patrol at a recent ceremony. COPs were awarded various certificates based on the number of hours provided to the community. This past year, COPs worked a total of 23,000 hours, saving taxpayers nearly $500,000.

“We couldn’t do many of the nonlaw enforcement services we provide to the community without our COPs. The support they give our deputies handling minor crashes, home vacation watches, patrolling the beaches and canals is invaluable,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I truly can’t think them enough.”

the second “m” in their last name, the journey began in a hospital room in 1990. His father had urged him to come see his 99-year-old Aunt Catherine, who was in her final hours. His aunt looked at Baumer and called him Bobby, confusing him for the brother she had lost during World War II. Baumer’s father had never spoken about his brother to him. That day pushed Baumer to finally ask.

“He said, ‘He died on the beaches of Normandy,” Baumer recalled. “His words were, ‘What a waste.’”

And that’s when Baumer set out to prove him wrong — that his brother’s sacrifice hadn’t been a waste at all.

He remembered the memory of seeing his uncle’s Purple Heart medal for the first time. He had been 12 years old when his grandmother showed it to him. He remembers the way it glittered in the sunlight streaming in from the window.

Baumer then began researching, and in 1997, with the help of a senator in Connecticut, he was able to get access to more World War II service records, which had been challenging from the start, as a 1973 fire in the Army Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri, had destroyed many. The senator recommended he try researching morning reports, which kept a record of companies’ daily activities, including rosters of the killed and wounded.

It was through these reports that he was able to identify World War II veteran Paul E. Stegall in 1998. Stegall had served alongside Bobby in the war, and after finding a phone number and speaking to him one

club offerings, the member offerings could be “heaven” (a nice gift) or “hell” (something new but never-tobe used by the person who donated it). However, because everything was wrapped, those who were bidding were bidding blindly, recognizing that even if their gift was “hell” rather than “heaven,” their contribution would go to a worthy cause.

evening, Baumer realized that he’d not only found a fellow soldier of his uncle — he’d found his best friend.

Baumer at that point had the list of battles his uncle had fought in and other military details. But Stegall provided a missing link.

“I now had what I thought was the rest of the story,” Baumer said. “I called my mother and I said, ‘Mom, do you believe in miracles? You’re not going to believe this.’”

The two finally met in 2017, and Baumer gifted him with his uncle’s Purple Heart medal. He hoped it would give him strength to keep fighting.

A few months later, Stegall died, but not before Baumer got on his motorcycle and drove from Ormond Beach to Greenville, South Carolina, to see him one last time.

“He knew he didn’t have much time left, and so I said, ‘Well, then you’ll be with Bob,” Baumer recalled.

“He just nodded his head and I said, ‘You save a place for me up there, OK?’ He nodded his head. He died the next day, so I’m glad I did what I did.”

Bobby’s Purple Heart medal is back in Baumer’s possession, along with the flag that was placed on his grave during his funeral. Every Memorial Day, he carefully takes the wooden box out, opens it, and reads the names of all 1,513 service members who died in World War II. Looking at his uncle’s Purple Heart medal today, he thinks of sacrifice, pride and the missed opportunity of meeting his namesake.

“I wish I could have known him, but it wasn’t that way of course,” Baumer said. “... It’s an odd camaraderie I feel with him, but mostly, it’s a great deal of pride.”

Heroes Honor Festival: giving Vietnam veterans welcome home U.S. Army veteran Ben Peterson founded the Heroes Honor Festival to give Vietnam veterans a place to celebrate and be celebrated.

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The skies were abuzz with the sound of A10 Warthogs on Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend, at the Daytona International Speedway.

Cheering built to a crescendo as the flyover disappeared on the horizon.

Over 27,000 people were in attendance at the inaugural Heroes Honor Festival where Vietnam veterans could celebrate and be recognized for their service.

The event was the brainchild of U.S. Army veteran Ben Peterson, who brought it to fruition through his nonprofit organization, Engage Your Destiny. Mentorship, healing and addressing military trauma are key areas the outreach association focuses on for veterans, active military and their families.

“I grew up in a military family where the greatest thing you could do with your life is serve in combat,” he said. “My dad helped tell stories of veterans that had gone through horrific things and found peace and healing through telling their stories.”

When the planes hit the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, that was a pivotal moment for Peterson who decided at the age of 13 that he was going to join the military. One month after he turned 17, his parents signed his papers, and he joined the Army.

In 2009, Peterson arrived on American soil following a one-year

“We have been so thankful for Daytona.

The local Vietnam veterans chapter sat on the advisory board and sponsored us.”

Peterson never forgot. As he learned more about how the Vietnam veterans were treated disparagingly when they returned home from war, he made it his objective to give these soldiers the “biggest, baddest, most patriotic welcome home in history.”

A website has been created for friends and family members of the students to make a reading pledge for them, such as $1 per reading session.

At the end of the summer, all money collected from the pledges will be donated to the Ormond Beach Elementary library. The proceeds will go toward purchasing a wider array of library books. The funds can also help teachers buy supplies and books for their classrooms.

“And then, the biggest excitement was when they brought up Craig Frick,” Partington said.

Frick, owner of a new local ice cream shop, Neighborhood Scoops, attended the book fair to offer a tasty incentive. If Ormond Beach Elementary students meet their school goal, Frick will reward the students with an ice cream party, full of delectable toppings, such as gummy bears, chocolate chips and sprinkles.

Students who have demonstrated outstanding performance following the reading challenge will be eligible to receive a year of free ice cream, courtesy of Neighborhood Scoops, which equates to about one trip per week.

Navy veteran Jim Drake is one of the directors for the Vietnam Veterans of America, Daytona Beach Chapter 1048.

Vietnam veterans, so the decision to have the festival here made sense. Finding a location that could accommodate a large group of people made the Speedway an ideal choice.

A cold call to the Speedway revealed that most everyone there had a connection to a Vietnam veteran, which opened the door to a positive response.

Peterson was overwhelmed by the support he received from the local community. Bob Adkins, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America Daytona Beach Chapter 1048, has been a friend to Peterson and a champion of the festival.

“We have been so thankful for Daytona,” Peterson said. “They’ve just been phenomenal. The local Vietnam veterans chapter sat on the advisory board and sponsored us.

Bob Adkins is a good man. I love that guy.”

Kiwanis READS! has returned for its second summer reading challenge, hosted by the Ormond Beach Kiwanis Club, following a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19. This year, the program is supported by Backers 4 Books, which enables supporters, using the Givebacks app, to receive cash back every time they shop, as well as helping to fund books to be donated to students in Ormond Beach.

The Kiwanis Club is a 100-yearold international organization that promotes the interests of children.

The Ormond Beach Kiwanis Club focuses specifically on providing books to local students.

In the state of Florida, students have fallen behind in school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2016 to 2019, the number of Volusia County third graders who achieved a

3 or above on the Florida Standards Assessment English Language test was between 56% to 58%. In 2022, the number dropped to 51%.

Now more than ever, the future is dependent on today’s youth to maintain good grades and begin their path to success in adulthood, said Dillon Kalkhurst, president of the Ormond Beach Kiwanis Club, and a founding developer of Givebacks app.

“We are sponsoring Ormond Beach Elementary School and providing all 325 students with a $15 reading certificate,” he said. “Each one of the students is going to be able to enter the Scholastic Book Fair with $15 to spend.”

The Scholastic Book Fair took place May 16, in the Ormond Beach Elementary library.

“There was a tremendous amount of excitement and anticipation for the summer to get here so they could get started,” said Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington, who attended the book fair. “The teachers went through all the details of how it’s all going to work.”

The Kiwanis READS! challenge involves up to 20 minutes of reading per day for five days, for the 10 weeks of summer vacation, or 50 reading sessions.

In 2004, Mary and Howard moved to Palm Coast, Florida where they met and grew to cherish many neighbors and friends.

BUSINESS OBSERVER Development, real estate + business news

Former Ormond hospital land sells for $2 million What will be built? The property owner has indicated retail and residential.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The $2.05 million sale of the former Florida Hospital site at 264 S. Atlantic Ave. closed earlier this month, becoming one of the latest parcels on Ormond’s beachside that could soon see new development.

The property was purchased by Ormond Holdings LLC, a company based out of South Carolina, which also bought the vacant oceanfront parcel at 251 S. Atlantic Ave. for $5.3 million in January. A site plan submitted to the city in March shows the developer seeks to build a five-story, 95,700-square-foot hotel with 137 rooms in the oceanfront parcel. The developer also seeks to use a portion of the former hospital site across the street for hotel parking.

What will be built on the remainder of the 106,123 square feet of land? A mix of retail and residential.

Overall, it is a good sign for the beachside, according to local real estate agents.

Real estate agent John Haley, of Coldwell Banker Premier properties, said that the addition of retail shops and residential is a great idea.

“It means tax revenue for the city,” Haley said. “It means people spending more money in that area and to revitalize that area. Not only is it going to benefit leisure travelers, but locals as well, because now they’ll have more to do, particularly in that area.”

It’s always nice to see something new and improved, said John Adams president of Adams, Cameron and Co. The hospital site has been vacant since it was demolished in 2019, and a vacant site “doesn’t do a whole lot” for the beachside, he explained.

“I think the idea of having some new development along there is very positive,” Adams said.

With the low inventory of commercial land, he expects that instead

Flagler Palm Coast trio advances to national entrepreneurship challenge BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

For the second year in a row, Flagler Palm Coast High School is sending a regional finalist to the national Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge.

Rising sophomores Roman Savko, Darian Miroshnik and Leon Grigoruk were among six finalists at the May 13 Southeast Regional Final in Fort Lauderdale. They will advance to nationals in October in New York City. The competition is sponsored

by NFTE (the Network For Teaching

Mar Beach Resort at 507 S. Atlantic Ave., which sold for $3.1 million.

Both properties were sold in 2020.

While business travel is currently lagging a bit behind leisure travel in the city, Haley said the increase in visitors to this area will benefit the hospitality industry via a higher average daily rate, revenue per room and optionality.

In nearby Daytona Beach, new developments to the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort could also come soon. Haley is the listing agent for the commercial lease of the hotel, and said a national entertainment venue has expressed interest in 11,000 square feet of the spaces available for lease within the property.

“They (Starwood Capital Group, the owners of the property) want to make a better guest experience — really not interested in the revenue that would be generated by the spaces that are for lease,” Haley said.

“But when the guests have more to do right there and not leave the hotel, everyone benefits.”

Last year, Hailey Tucker advanced to the semifinal round at nationals when the event was held virtually.

This year, the three FPC students

will go to New York to pitch their idea — Peers, a tutoring business for students, by students.

“They’re go-getters. They’re very motivated,” said their entrepreneurship teacher, Corinne Schaefer.

“Peers is an online platform that’s affordable and accessible and focusing on students who need help.”

The three won $500 in cash and $150 in Amazon gift cards at the regional final.

“We’re going to split the gift cards for our own use, but the $500 will be strictly for our business,” Savko said.

Peers would pair up student tutors who are proficient in a subject with students who need help. As a business, they would charge $20 an hour with the tutor receiving $15 an hour.

But they have received tentative approval to begin as a school club in August with tutors receiving community service hours instead of pay and those getting tutored receiving a free service.

“We were thinking of problems in our school,” Grigoruk said. “Kids want affordable tutoring service, and they want to do it at home.”

Savko, Miroshnik and Grigoruk are working on a website where tutors and those seeking the service can register. But the actual tutoring would be on a video conferencing platform, such as Zoom.

“A lot of tutoring is expensive,” Savko said. “And it might be with a teacher they are not as comfortable with. (Working with) another student might be more comfortable.”

The service is especially needed these days with so many students

still behind from remote learning during the pandemic, Savko said.

“A lot of people cheated through the pandemic, or they just didn’t care. They didn’t have anyone to force them to do the work. They didn’t have a teacher around,” Savko said.

Savko, Miroshnik and Grigoruk are all pre-IB students and will probably do some tutoring themselves just to get the program started, Savko said.

“I’m really excited,” Grigoruk said.

“Now we’ll have the opportunity to really prepare our pitch and have everything down. And it’s in New York, which is pretty cool.”

Of the top 100 business pitches in the Southeast region, nine came from FPC’s entrepreneurship program. In addition to Peers, another FPC group advanced to the Regional Final. Ashlee Ramierez, Jasmine Williams, Makel Collins and Regan Rust advanced with their business proposal, No More Chaff, No More Cheek, a chafing stick that goes directly on your jeans to prevent friction that causes holes to rip between your thighs.

Schaefer, who is FPC’s career and technical education department chair, said 48 FPC students have received their small business certification.

“We have an articulation agreement with Daytona State College,” Schaefer said. “Students get three business credits if they pass principles of entrepreneurship or business law and management and pass the certification test.”

With more than 850,000 policies, the state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp. has become an 800-pound gorilla in Florida’s troubled insurance market.

But as lawmakers passed bills during a special legislative session this week to try to shore up the industry, they did not make changes designed specifically to address issues such as Citizens’ growth and premiums.

Sen. Jeff Brandes, a St. Petersburg Republican who is one of the Legislature’s most-hawkish members on bolstering the private industry, said during a meeting Monday, May 23, that lawmakers were not doing anything to deal with the “radical growth” of Citizens.

Citizens was created as an insurer of last resort but has ballooned as private companies have shed policies and raised rates to deal with financial losses. As an illustration, Citizens had 851,006 policies on April 30, up from 453,911 policies two years earlier.

Many leaders have long sought to shrink Citizens because of concerns about policyholders across the state — including those who are not Citizens customers — potentially being on the hook to help pay claims if Florida gets hit with a major hurricane or multiple hurricanes.

“The simple truth is if Citizens was a regular insurance company, we would never have let it grow as fast as it did,” Brandes said.

But Citizens is a politically sensitive issue, as many homeowners in areas such as heavily populated South Florida have few other choices for coverage.

“Floridians are not being treated equally right now,” Rep. Robin Bartleman, D-Weston, said.

Citizens President and CEO Barry Gilway in recent months has repeatedly said that Citizens charges less for coverage than private insurers, at least in part because of a state law that caps Citizens’ annual rate increases. This year that cap is 11 percent, and Citizens has asked the state Office of Insurance Regulation to approve a rate hike of nearly that amount.

Other proposals to raise Citizens’ rates and push homeowners toward the private market have run into opposition in the Legislature.

Parkview Church: $6 million expansion The church hopes to break ground in late summer on a new wing that will provide an additional 17,200 square feet of space.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Parkview Church is hoping to break ground on a new wing in late summer, said Barry Peters, Parkview’s discipleship and development pastor.

The expansion project will include renovating the current space and constructing a 17,200-square-foot addition that will include a new auditorium — where the church holds its services — with 721 seats.

“Right now, we’re in the permit process,” said Peters. “The plans are done. The contractor is hired. We’d love to see building start in August or September and, the Lord willing, be done by fall of 2023.”

Renovation will include converting the current auditorium that seats 400 into a next generation space for children and teenagers. The new space will include a next gen auditorium that will seat 200, a nursery, an indoor play area and 10 breakout rooms.

The area where children and teens currently gather will be converted into a lobby, which the area was originally designed for. The renovation will allow the church to triple its next generation space to 18,000

square feet.

The new wing will include the new auditorium with upgraded audio and video technology and multipurpose rooms on the first floor.

The second floor will house an office suite and breakout rooms.

The project will also include expanded parking on the back of the property.

The outdoor basketball court will also be moved to the back of the property.

The expansion will cost $5 million, and renovating the current space will cost $1 million, Peters said. Church members have donated $1.5 million of the project through a vision initiative and have committed another $1.5 million over the next two years, Peters said. The church will finance the remaining cost.

The total cost of the initiative is $6.45 million, which includes providing $350,000 to Parkview’s LPGA campus to help purchase property to build a new independent church and

We’d love to see building start in August or September and, the Lord willing, be done by fall of 2023.”

$100,000 donated to Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville to help fund its new academic center.

This will be Parkview Church’s third expansion since its current facility opened in 2002 at 5435 Belle Terre Parkway. The auditorium was expanded in 2011 and the lobby/ gathering room was added in 2017.

The 7.5-acre property was purchased in 1999.

The average weekly attendance for Parkview’s church services has grown to 978 from a low of 725 during the COVID year of 2020 and is approaching the 2019 high of 1,093.

The church currently has three weekly services (Saturday at 5 p.m., Sunday at 9 and 11 a.m.). Pre-COVID, it had a fourth service in the gathering room on Sunday mornings.

“We’re blessed with so many people moving here. Our guest flow is quite large,” said Peters, who is the brother of Pastor Greg Peters.

The church was founded 25 years ago.

BIZ BUZZ ADVENTHEALTH ‘TOPS OUT’ PALM COAST PARKWAY HOSPITAL AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway has taken a significant step forward, as hospital and construction team members gathered this week to celebrate the building’s “topping out.”

Topping out is a construction tradition celebrating the installation of the final beam of a structure, signifying structural completion of a building.

“We are proud to celebrate this milestone in the building of our second Palm Coast hospital,” said Audrey Gregory, CEO of AdventHealth’s Central Florida Division – North Region.

The four-story hospital, located on the north end of the county near Bridgehaven Drive, will be approximately 158,000 square feet. It will include an emergency department with full-service imaging; five operating suites; endoscopy services; outpatient laboratory; heart catheterization labs; 20 critical care patient rooms and 80 general medical or surgical care rooms.

AdventHealth broke ground in September on the 100-bed hospital.

It is expected to open in spring 2023, bringing additional inpatient care services to the fast-growing population of Flagler County.

Plans also call for a 30,000-squarefoot medical office building to be constructed as part of this $162 million project. AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway will bring up to 700 new jobs to the area upon completion.

AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway is slated to open in spring 2023. HuntonBrady is serving as the architect.

CHICK-FIL-A TEAM MEMBERS RECEIVE $15,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS Chick-fil-A Palm Coast Operator Glen Efford spent his Saturday afternoon, May 21, surprising six Chick-fil-A team members with Remarkable Futures Scholarships.

The team members were awarded checks disguised as oversized sauce containers that totaled $15,000.

The scholarship recipients were Maria Maglalang, Kale Britton, Selah Gargon, Rachel Pladdys, Alexandra Khoriakov and Mariah Siebert. This is Britton’s fourth year receiving the scholarship and Gargon’s second year.

Chick-fil-A Scholarships began when its founder, Truett Cathy, set a mayonnaise jar on his first restaurant counter to help a team member pursue his dream of a college education. Since 1970, Chick-fil-A has helped over 80,000 team members achieve remarkable futures through a total investment of $136 million in scholarships.

Efford said he is fortunate for the mark these six team members have left on his restaurant and its guests.

“We are so proud of these outstanding young people, and we’re happy to have them as a part of our Chick-fil-A Palm Coast family.” Efford said. “To be able to play a role in helping them fulfill their dreams is truly rewarding.

Each of these recipients are simply remarkable and represent the best of our youth today.”

To qualify for the scholarship, team members must be involved in the community, have an influential role within the restaurant and be recommended by senior management.

SPORTS Despite no high school team, Ty Smith is recruited to play in college The Matanzas grad and volleyball player made good on a promise he made to his late friend.

BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Matanzas High graduate Ty Smith and his buddy Giovanne Sylvain used to mess around on the volleyball court at Parkview Church. They talked about one day playing volleyball in college.

After Sylvain was found dead in 2020, Smith’s mom, Suzanne, was afraid her son was going to give up volleyball.

“I thought it would be too painful for him to play anymore. But he looked me in the eye, and said, ‘Mom, I’m going

Smith never got the chance to play high school volleyball, but he’ll be getting the chance to play college volleyball.

to go to college and play volleyball.’”

At the time, Smith had never played organized volleyball. Matanzas — like all the other high schools in the area — does not have a boys volleyball team. The 6-foot4 Smith played basketball for the Pirates, leading the team in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots as a senior this year.

But he won’t be playing basketball in college. Smith made good on his promise to his mom and his late friend.

He recently signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Warner University in Lake Wales.

He got the offer through sheer perseverance.

Smith would go to the park every day to practice by himself or join with others. He would watch YouTube videos to try to learn the game.

“Gio got me into it, and that was the only thing I thought about,” Smith said.

He got a fake ID so he could could play in an adult opengym volleyball league at Indian Trails Middle School.

That’s when a woman told him about the Jacksonville Juniors Volleyball Association.

He tried out in August and made the JJVA 15-18 travel team.

“I improved every practice.

“Gio got me into it, and that was the only thing I thought about.”

TY SMITH

"He's always going to have Gio by his side, in his heart.

He's the epitome of anything can happen if you put your mind to it and work hard."

JJVA celebrates Smith and other college-bound players in the club.

JJVA is an amazing organization,” Smith said.

He also had help closer to home. Matanzas girls volleyball players Ashley Grove and Senna Thayer and Thayer’s mom helped teach him about different rotations and the finer points of passing and blocking and understanding the setter’s signs.

“The height, the speed of the ball, the position on the court. There are so many balls you can hit. It took me a while to get the hang of it,” he said.

Smith said the Warner coaches saw him in January playing for JJVA in a tournament in Orlando. Eventually, they offered him a partial scholarship.

Smith is a right-side hitter, also known as an opposite hitter, considered the most versatile position on the court.

For someone who had virtually no game film to show and had been playing organized volleyball for less than a year, receiving a college offer was a long shot at best.

“He’s always going to have Gio by his side, in his heart,” Suzanne said. “He ignored every, ‘No, it’s not going to happen.’ He’s the epitome of anything can happen if you put your mind to it and work hard.”

Matanzas High School wrestlers Christina Borgmann and Saiomy Cabrera each won championships in their weight classes at Florida AAU States on May 27 at Palm Bay Magnet High School.

Borgmann won the combined 125 and 135-pound weight class in the girls high school division with five consecutive pins. Four of her pinfalls came in the matches’ first round. The rising sophomore finished eighth in the state at the FHSAA’s first girls state championships in March.

Cabrera won by two pins and a decision in her three matches to win the 135, 140 and 145-pound combined weight class in the girls division.

Three other Matanzas wrestlers finished second in their weight class in the girls’ division: Mariah Mills in the combined 105, 110 and 115-pound class, Gabrielle Proctor in the 155-pound class and Brooklyn Watt in the 190-pound class.
