Mental health drop-in clinic to provide relief in desert of care ‘We’re going to start our battle on mental health and suicide,’ County Commissioner Joe Mullins said.

OPIOID TASK FORCE RECAP

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

A drop-in clinic for anyone who needs mental health counseling — the first clinic of its kind in Flagler County — is coming to State Road 100. County Commissioner Joe Mullins made the announcement Jan. 19 at the Opioid Task Force meeting, calling the drop-in clinic a “beginning� in the effort to close what he called a 15-year gap in the county’s mental health services.

Mullins said it would be created in an existing building on 100, but he wasn’t at liberty to disclose the exact location yet, other than to say that it would not be in the beleaguered Sheriff’s Operations Center.

The clinic would be operated

by Bunnell’s Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare, County Administrator Jerry Cameron said in a later interview with the Palm Coast Observer. “It would be set up like a home,�

Cameron said. “There would be some rooms for individual therapy, a living room, den. There can be movies, games; there could be crafts, activities.�

Cameron learned of the concept when he was working for St. Johns County, in his previous post before being hired by Flagler County.

ď Ž Charles Silano, pastor of Grace Tabernacle Ministries, said the opioid crisis has become an overdose crisis. He suggested the Sheriff’s Office create “recovery podsâ€? in the jail so that inmates who are trying to overcome addiction can be grouped with likeminded inmates. ď Ž Kim Carney, Flagler Beach city commissioner, reported that subcommittees are working to establish the county’s RCO, or recovery community organization, to help qualify for grants. ď Ž Jennifer Taylor, commander with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, told a story of one person being administered Narcan three times in one day, after overdosing three separate times. ď Ž Nangy Pulsfus, chief clinical officer with Flagler Health+, announced that Care Connect, a database to help share medical information, would be made available in Flagler County.

“It was pretty phenomenal,� he recalled. “I dropped by there [at the St. Johns clinic] to see the patients, and they all had very positive outlooks on life, and that’s different than most of the mental health cases that are going into an acute phase.�

The county’s contribution would be to remodel the property and offer maintenance. “My goal has been to bring services here to help with mental health,� Mullins told the Opioid Task Force. “We’re going to start our battle on mental health and suicide.�

Tech Mecca Palm Coast’s Hackathon incubates tech solutions for health care JOEY PELLEGRINO STAFF WRITER

The Tech Beach Hackathon, an event long sought-after by a City Hall looking to make Palm Coast a technological Mecca, brought together dozens of idea generators and tech experts from all over the country for 24 hours to solve challenges posed by City Hall.

The challenges were concocted after consultation with AdventHealth Palm Coast on the biggest issues facing clients of American health care.

The event kicked off Jan. 17 with opening remarks from Mayor Milissa Holland, University of North Florida President David M. Szymanski, Daytona State College President Thomas LoBasso, Florida Department of Education Chancellor (and former Flagler Schools superintendent) Jacob Oliva and others before a networking dinner and outdoor concert by Are Friends Electric.

“We’re excited to partner with AdventHealth to make Palm Coast the success story of Florida,” Szymanski said. “It’s a phenomenal place. It has so much potential.

We’re bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and making a difference.”

“Being a part of this is very exciting,” Oliva said. “We want to replicate this throughout the state.”

Twenty-eight tons of sand had been carted onto the lawn behind City Hall along with rented furniture and donated plants to assist the “tech beach” theming dreamed of by Chief Innovation Officer Don Kewley, who was the driving force behind the realization of the hackathon.

“Everyone thought it was nuts,” Kewley said, “but we made it happen.”

TACKLING HEALTH CARE

STREAMLINING CARE

The three challenges Kewley set before the teams — many groups of four or five, some pairs of business partners, a few lone wolves — competing for the $6,000 grand prize revolved around the Salesforce platform used at AdventHealth and other hospitals, and they were free to choose whether they would focus on one or tackle multiple:  Streamline patients’ understanding of their care. Build smart device systems that assist with health monitoring or financial incentives for healthy behavior.  Help patients use Salesforce data to find treatment options with the lowest costs.

“The city has been great,” said Patrick Medina from developer relations agency BeMyApp, which helped organize the hackathon. “As soon as we told them what we needed, they were right on it.”

The hackers — “hack” in the same sense as “life hack,” working with preexisting material to improve things — had the option of bringing a sleeping bag or sleeping on cots in City Hall if they wished to work through the night during the 24 hours.

Raj Shah and Jackie Lu, University of Florida students, were working on a system that would let seniors understand their health charges more easily by comparing them to charges of patients for similar services.

“It’s probably going to change over the next 24 hours,” Shah said.

“We’re still planning it out.”

Both had some hackathon experience from college and hoped to use the grand prize to pay off their tuition.

Jonathan Gan, Osaki Pokima, Ramon Morales and Bianca Silva, Florida Polytechnic University students from Lakeland, tackled the first two challenges.

“We’re going to make patient care easier to understand using smart technology,” Gan said.

“The way we incorporate this can bring costs down.”

They aimed to design “smart mirrors” for household use which can store and display physical and medical data on a large, accessible surface.

“I want to travel somewhere,” Pokima said of using the prize money. “You could go to Thailand with that, bro.”

“I’m going to get a used car,” Silva said.

“We’re going to use it to mass manufacture our product,” Morales said, laughing. “That’s the correct answer.”

Holland was enthused.

“There is a lot of creativity in this space,” she said. “For the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time in a hospital. It can be an emotional challenge, yet you’re still having to understand the insurance, the billing, managing all the different orders.”

She hoped some of the teams would invent concepts for reducing the paperwork and complexity of health care for its patients.

“This will inspire others to ask, ‘What’s else can we do?’” Holland said.

AWARDS AND APPLICATIONS

“We want to be a center of innovation of medical technology,” said City Manager Matthew Morton. “This is the first step. I overheard some of the pitches this

Team Palm Coast with Mayor Milissa Holland.

Jeff Douglas, president of Douglas Property and Development, announced that development for 184 single-family homes in Town Center will begin in March, with 350 apartment condominiums to undergo development in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Douglas said these properties will contribute to his goal of Town Center encouraging the different generations in Palm Coast to intermingle.

“We get a lot of seniors renting them, and a lot of single people,” Douglas said of the coming apartments. “A lot of government workers, a lot of all kinds of working people.”

He called the single-family homes “something tighter, smaller and more manageable for seniors. For the families, their family budgets will be better spent on food and other things than on maintaining an 85-foot massive lot.”

Douglas said he hopes to break ground on an entertainment district by May or June and see businesses opening in it by the first quarter of 2021, with an arts district to emerge at a time yet to be announced.

morning — I had goosebumps, I was blown away by how quickly they grasped the challenges.”

By Jan. 19, the grand prize had been awarded to StressLess, the $3,000 runner up prize to Patient Pilot, the $2,000 third place prize to Team Palm Coast and fourth place’s $1,000 prize to MED Bus. StressLess, created by a group of developers from Orlando and Gainesville, will aggregate data from wearable devices such as AppleWatch or Fitbit to measure stress levels and quantifiable reductions in stress, according to a city press release.

Team Palm Coast developed an app to revolutionize the way appointments are scheduled.

The pair of local developers — one from Flagler Palm Coast High School, the other a student from DSC — noted that no-show appointments cost the health care industry $150 billion per year, according to the press release, which added that both developers on Team Palm Coast have interned at Coastal Cloud, owned

by Tim and Sara Hale. Holland also works at Coastal Cloud, which did not serve as a judge in the contest.

AdventHealth Palm Coast COO Wally De Aquino said, in a city press release, that he was excited for StressLess’s real world applications and that he was excited to pair the app’s developers.

AdventHealth has selected Brent Davis to serve as vice president and chief financial officer for the company’s Central Florida Division – North Region, effective Feb. 3.

INTRACOASTAL BANK IN 2019 Intracoastal Bank announced financial results for 2019. Total assets at Dec. 31, 2019, were $344.3 million up $18 million, or 6%, from $326.3 million at Dec. 31, 2018.

Net income for the full year 2019 increased by 9% from the full year 2018.

DSC RISES TO 29TH FOR ONLINE DEGREE Daytona State College has moved up four spots to No. 29 in the new U.S. News & World Report rankings for best online bachelor’s programs, the eighth year in a row DSC has earned a spot among the nation’s best in this category.

“This is a reflection of the college’s dedication to continuous quality improvement and is satisfying knowing that our recognition by U.S. News & World Report means our students are getting an exceptional learning experience,” said Dr. Tom LoBasso, DSC president.

Daytona State is the highest ranked school among Florida’s 28 state colleges, and the only one in U.S. News & World Report’s top 50 that is not a state or private university.

When Cynthia Schweers started working for the city of Palm Coast in 2004, she was a 21-year-old customer service rep. Now, she manages 20 people and has been promoted to the position of director of citizen engagement, according to a news release from the city of Palm Coast’s communications office.

“I’m thrilled to have been selected for this new opportunity to grow with the city,” Schweers said, according to the news release. “This role not only increases our engagement with the community, but also embraces technology to advance our customer service operations to the next level. It will be exciting to see the results of what our talented team will be able to accomplish as we progress to the future.”

One of Schweers most memorable customers, she said, was in 2007: A woman whose water had just been turned off came into Schweers’ office crying. The woman didn’t know what to do. The woman’s husband, who’d handled all the bills, had recently died, and the woman didn’t know how to so much as

Schweers spent an hour with her, helping her get her water service back and showing her how to use the city’s autopay service.

More recently, as the city’s customer service manager,

Schweers has led a team that uses the city’s Palm Coast Connect platform to connect with residents and address questions and complaints.

“As long as I’ve been here in Palm Coast, I’ve been impressed with Cynthia and her team’s commitment to a people-first Customer Service mindset,” City Manager Matthew Morton said, according to the news release. “Our goal is to expand the processes that have made her and her team successful, standardizing customer service across all elements of the city to ensure everything we do is scalable, repeatable, responsive and driven by data.”

In her new position as the director of citizen engagement, Schweers will work to support employee morale as well as customer service, according to the news release, and will help the city transition into using a system that uses GPS to automate work orders.

This month, she will also be reviewing city department response times to find areas that may need improvement.

Palm Coast man drives down SR A1A firing AR-15 A Palm Coast man drunkenly drove down State Road A1A firing off an AR-15 in the early morning hours of Jan. 17, leading multiple alarmed locals to call 911, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

The man, 35-year-old Ryan Centofanti, has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence and with discharging a firearm from a vehicle, a felony.

The FCSO’s dispatch center first began receiving reports of gunshots in the area at 3:24 a.m., according to an FCSO report.

When deputies stopped Centofanti’s SUV, the interior stank of burned gunpowder.

There were spent .223 casings scattered throughout the car, and an AR-15-style rifle in the rear seat.

Centofanti failed sobriety exercises. Deputies arrested him.

FCSO shuts down drug house The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit and SWAT team searched a drug house at 5000 Palm Ave., Bunnell, and arrested three people there on Friday, Jan. 17.

The individuals arrested were Gage Watts, 24; Tessa Lilly, 25; and Jessica McBryde, 30.

The FCSO has responded to the residence for various complaints and calls for service more than 50 times within the past year.

Radio station sues political candidate Flagler Broadcasting is suing County Commission candidate Tommy LeGault for unpaid bills for LeGault’s radio infomercial, “We Love Small Business with Tommy.”

The unpaid radio bill was several thousands dollars when Flagler Broadcasting turned it over to a collector, who now is also owed money, according to Flagler Broadcasting Vice President and General Manager David Ayres.

“He owes money, said he would pay it — promised, didn’t, promised, didn’t, promised, didn’t,” Ayres said, “Said, ‘By the end of the year. ‘ Didn’t.”

Ayres said LeGault seemed like a nice person, but “either way, pay your bills; do what’s right.”

A court summons was issued for LeGault on Jan. 6, according to county court records.

LeGault, speaking on Jan. 22, said he had not received it.

“WNZF is a civil matter,” he said. “We have not been notified about this yet. ... It’s what they say I owe, and it’s what I say I owe, so we’re working together.”

The Flagler Palm Coast High School Athletic Department had also previously said that LeGault owed more than $1,000 to the school’s cheerleading program, whose students had sold his “Savor Flagler” discount cards under an arrangement in which the program would be repaid part of the proceeds.

That debt was paid on Jan. 21, FPC Athletics Director Steve DeAugustino confirmed.

Palm Coast’s war on dollar stores — and those who shop there The City Council appeared in a rush to vote for a moratorium. Is there a crisis?

TOBY TOBIN GUEST WRITER

At a Special Meeting Jan. 14, the Palm Coast City Council rushed to pass an ordinance placing a 120-day moratorium on the approval of any new dollar format stores. The issue was first raised only seven days earlier by Mayor Milissa Holland during her Jan. 7 regular meeting comments on items not on the agenda.

“We have a lot of Dollar Generals popping up in our city and, frankly, I find it a little disconcerting,” Holland said.

The great concern is reportedly driven by a deep-seated belief that dollar format stores can damage a community. “We’re not looking to stand in the way of business or progress,” Holland said, “but we need to ensure that everything built in Palm Coast is for the public good.

There’s compelling evidence from other communities around the country that dollar stores have various long-term effects, and we should be sure we’re protecting our community.”

Holland and the city attorney argue that dollar stores, which do not sell fresh produce, squeeze out local mom and pop stores that do, creating a virtual food desert.

Why the big hurry? Do we really have, as Holland says, “a lot of Dollar Generals popping up in our city”?

Not really.

During all of 2019, there was only one building permit for a dollar store in Palm Coast, none in 2018, none in 2017 and only one in 2016.

There are no new building permit applications for dollar stores in the pipeline.

The Dollar General at 1000 Matanzas Woods Parkway permit was issued on Aug. 28, 2019. The contractor stated value for construction was $762,447. The city received $77,779.70 in impact and permitting fees, exclusive of water and sewer connection charges.

The permit for the Dollar General at 20 Old Kings Road N. was issued on May 4, 2016. The contractor stated value for construction was $779,887. The city received $79,829.60 in impact and permitting fees, exclusive of water and sewer connection charges. The property owner paid $15,043.60 for property taxes for the 2019 tax year.

A food desert is defined as “an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.”

Palm Coast is hardly an urban area. It’s a sprawling suburb.

Belying the food desert argument, there are several major chain grocery stores within the city.

With only two dollar store permits issued in the city since mid-2016 and with no dollar store permits in the pipeline, it seems odd that there is such a rush to judg-

Correction In the Jan. 16 edition, the Palm Coast Observer reported that the City Council’s $1.5 million budget transfer in support of MedNex wasn’t “discussed publicly.”

However, it was presented before the City Council for a vote on Jan. 7 and passed unanimously, following the reading of the agenda item. The public and the City Council were given an opportunity to comment; there were no comments.

David and Barbara DeFanti buy their groceries at supermarkets such as Publix. They mostly by cat food, decorations, make up, and ice cream — and frozen food every now and then.

ment, requiring a Special Meeting of the City Council.

Misusing terms like “food desert,” and making appeals to “the public good” are simply stalking horses. It turns out that the “compelling evidence from other communities around the country that dollar stores have various long-term effects” comes from only two municipalities (neither in Florida) that have passed ordinances to control further dollar store development.

I’m libertarian-minded.

I don’t like our government deciding for me where I should or should not shop.

When I shop at one of our local dollar stores, I find them invariably crowded. The free market is speaking loudly, apparently with little or no effect on competing food outlets.

Could it be that the dollar store war was not declared to save mom-and-pop fresh market grocers? Is that argument simply a stalking horse?

The real objection is more likely the same kind of NIMBYism (not in my backyard) that protests apartment developments because apartments attract “those kinds of people.”

The Housing Element Section of Palm Coast’s Comprehensive Plan Says, “Citizens of all income levels shall have the opportunity to obtain quality housing at a reasonable cost.” It stands to reason that they should also have corresponding shopping opportunities.

Toby Tobin publishes real estate news at gotoby.com.

"Sometimes people cannot afford to go to other grocery stores, so they get their food from McDonald’s or here. Some of this food has a lot of sodium and fat, so you need to choose what you eat."

BARBARA DEFANTI

“I don’t think there are too many Dollar stores. I am all about stores for the average guy.”

JOHN THOMAS, who buys his groceries from local supermarkets. He usually buys cat litter, Red Bull, laundry detergent or cleaning supplies from Dollar General.

L ETTERS Don’t ban dollar stores; they’re convenient Dear Editor: The Palm Coast City Council says we need a tool to maintain status quo. The status quo in the extreme north end of Palm Coast for the 20+ years that I’ve lived here is having to drive five miles to get to the nearest retail.

The council also spoke about dollar stores possibly posing a danger to mom-and-pop supermarkets. Breaking news: Walmart wiped out mom-andpops years ago.

Banning “bottle clubs” is one thing; banning neighborhood stores is quite another. Neighborhood store: You have the freedom to walk or bicycle to buy a quart of milk (reducing carbon emissions and roadway congestion). Neighborhood store: You have the freedom to see your neighbors. Neighborhood store: Neighborhood employment opportunities.

I’ve waited over 20 years for a neighborhood store near me, and now my government appears to be on the verge of telling us “Government control good, Town Center good, neighborhood bad, freedom of choice bad.”

bile driving habits of many; the economic development vacuum; and many other real problems facing Palm Coast? Let’s stick to our knitting. The market can look after itself.

ART SCHWARTZ Palm Coast

No to bans; let supply and demand work Dear Editor: I am wondering why are we not allowing basic supply and demand to determine what businesses thrive in Palm Coast?

Especially in areas where it is already zoned for these businesses.

Where will the moratorium on dollar stores end? Will McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell and others be next?

Where is the statistical data that backs up this claim of “food desert?” Is this a personal issue, or is Palm Coast becoming a “nanny state?” One certainly doesn’t have to drive far to shop at Publix, Winn-Dixie, Walmart or Target.

My understanding is that people who shop at Dollar General stores shop there as an extension to supermarkets and fruit-and-vegetable stands, not as a sole source.

One wonders, wouldn’t our City Council’s time and energy be better spent on recruiting more businesses and creating jobs in Palm Coast than discouraging businesses that create jobs, contribute to our community and pay taxes?

RENEE WICKOWSKI Palm Coast

Why single out dollar stores to ban?

Dear Editor: Why are dollar stores being singled out for supposedly hurting mom-and-pop stores?

Perhaps the chain grocery stores see it as a threat?

As a resident living near Matanzas, I welcome any sort of

store in our area.

My husband I are retired and have to go all the way to Palm Coast Parkway to purchase anything. When the roads are dark, we have no choice but to wait until the following day.

So our elected officials see no problem allowing three-story apartments on the corner of Belle Terre and Matanzas Woods parkways, but not a store which would benefit residents.

Plus, we are having a large development shoved down our throats, making the golf course property available to developers, and that’s what our leaders are doing for our benefit?

Obviously, the people of Palm Coast are not being represented.

Tuscan Gardens® O F PA L M C O A S T

WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.

JOANNE MILLER Palm Coast

Cluster businesses together Dear Editor: With regard to building dollar stores, it appears that the restriction is written to apply to all “small box” stores, which is appropriate rather than singling out a particular business.

We have one going in on the south side of Matanzas Woods Parkway spoiling the green environment.

Such stores should by restricted to malls having a large anchor store such as a Publix supermarket or The Home Depot. Also, the same should apply to “large box” stores such as a Best Buy to cut down on traffic congestion in residential areas.

In other words, plan the malls in advance to accommodate these stores.

Locals press School Board to protect transgender students A local transgender teen’s father has asked the board to look at policies and procedures.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Locals rallied at a Jan. 21 School Board meeting to support a local transgender boy, urging the board to enact policies to protect trans students. A group of meeting attendees simultaneously stood and turned their backs, facing the rear of the board chambers, to support the teen when a local pastor took the mic during the meeting’s public comment period and began to belittle the teen and denounce what the pastor called “transgender ideology.”

About a dozen other people spoke — all in support of transgender students.

A handful of people had attended the meeting in order to support the teen and his father, Randy Bertrand, but other meeting attendees who spoke about trans issues during the meeting said they hadn’t planned to speak, but

father were “confused,” and she called the boy a “beautiful girl.”

When she addressed the board Jan. 21 and again called the boy a girl, board member Colleen Conklin stopped her, telling her that she may not speak in such a fashion about a student.

Jennifer Bertrand, Randy Bertrand’s wife, said her son has felt much more supported since his transfer to FPC. But, she added, “Our ultimate goal is still for the county, the board, the district to

adopt procedures.”

The teen said that support from teachers, in particular, is critical for many trans students.

“They’re the people we see the most, besides our friends, and that support is so important,” he said.

Conklin said the board would look into its procedures.

Abbey Cooke, a sixth grade teacher at Belle Terre Elementary School, said she had been upset to hear that the actions of a teacher had led to a student feel-

ing unsupported.

“The fact that a teacher can do that and have no repercussions is the problem, not that the teacher did it,” she said. “The fact that that child had to go home, had to transfer schools to get a fair shake, literally sickens me.”

Savanna Dacosta, a junior at FPC, said that trans rights at school are “not a political or religious issue. This is a human issue, and it is also a safety issue.”

were moved to do so after hearing others’ comments.

Bertrand has attended the last several board meetings to press the board to develop policies and procedures supporting transgender students’ rights.

His son recently transferred to Flagler Palm Coast High School after a teacher at Matanzas had resisted using his new name.

Entering the building, meeting attendees had passed by the pastor, Charlene Cothran of Zion Baptist Church, who was standing outside with a sign that said, “I stopped lying to myself” and passing out handouts that said that children who experience “gender confusion” need spiritual guidance, not gender transition.

She’d spoken at a previous meeting after Bertrand had appealed to the board. She identified herself as a former lesbian and said that the boy and his

Lift, win, repeat After four regional titles in a row in Class 1A, can the Lady Pirates do it again in Class 2A?

Photos by Ray Boone

The Pirates’ Emelia Kern does the clean-and-jerk.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

A

fter four-straight district titles and four-straight regional titles, Matanzas’ girls weightlifting team shifted from Class 1A to Class 2A prior to the 2019-20 season. With the move came tougher competition. Class 2A is home to powerhouse Spruce Creek and the Pirates’ crosstown rival, Flagler Palm Coast, with whom they’ll now have to compete at the district meet.

The quality of the competition led to a learning curve for the Pirates, who have a new head coach.

“They were used to always winning,” Matanzas head coach Jeremy Ossler said after the Pirates’ win at a quad meet the night of Thursday, Jan. 16, at Matanzas

High School. “I told them at the beginning of the season that they were going to face some adversities. We’ve got tougher challenges now. It’s good for them. They’re humbled a little bit, and they now know what they have to do to get through it.”

Ossler took over the program after longtime head coach Sara Novak stepped down at the conclusion of the 2018-19 season. Ossler, who was previously the head coach at Atlantic High School in Port Orange for eight years, was an assistant under Novak last season.

“She built this program,” Ossler said of Novak. “I learned a ton being around her. We’re carrying on the same tradition she had.

You never want to walk into a program that’s built something and go in the other direction. I want to carry it on and allow these girls

to have the best experience they can.”

Despite the stiffer competition — and the fact that Matanzas only returned 13 lifters and seven seniors from last year’s team — the Pirates have continued to experience success.

That success is due, in part, to lifters like sophomore Andie Tice (110-pound weight class) and senior Juliana Smith (unlimited weight class).

“It’s new, it’s tough, but we’re getting used to it,” Smith said. “It was hard, but we worked through it. We’re earning it.”

The Pirates remain fixed on earning a five-peat.

“You have to put yourself in a new mindset,” Tice said. “This team is working as hard as it can in practice. I think we’ve worked hard enough to where we can win this year, too.”

“I told them at the beginning of the season that they were going to face some adversities. We’ve got tougher challenges now. It’s good for them. They’re humbled a little bit, and they now know what they have to do to get through it.”

lagler Schools hosted its Teacher and Support Employee of the Year Gala on Thursday, Jan. 16, at the Flagler Auditorium.

Michelle Coolican from Buddy Taylor Middle School received the Teacher of the Year award.

Coolican is in her 13th year of teaching at Buddy Taylor, where she is a science teacher and an adviser for the school’s afterschool STEM Club, according to a district news release.

“I work with an amazing administration, with these unbelievably talented students that make my heart happy every day. I just want to say thank you,” Coolican said after receiving the award, according to the news release.

“Michelle has the task of teaching science to middle school students,” Superintendent Jim Tager added, according to the news release. “That is not the easiest task in the world, but she is able to connect with all students in a way that makes them excited about science while creating positive relationships.”

Lynn Mellow, an office specialist at the Plant Services department who has worked for the district for 26 years and at Plant Services for eight years, received the Support Employee of the Year award.

“If you talk with anyone in Plant Services, they’ll tell you the same thing,” Tager said, according to the news release. “Lynn’s personality brightens up any sit-

Lashakia Moore, of Rymfire Elementary School, received the Principal of the Year award. iFlagler’s Erin Quinn was selected as Assistant Principal of the Year.

The ceremony opened with cheers from students, followed by speeches by Tager and Dr. Earl Johnson, the district’s executive director of leadership development.

Tager said he’d had a vision when he became superintendent — to increase the district’s graduation rate among all subgroups, and to make the district an A district.

“Well, you made that happen, and for that, I thank you,” Tager said.

A slideshow played, showing photos and videos created by teachers and employees. Students, families and friends celebrated their nominees as they walked down the red carpet towards the podium. This year’s gala theme was “a 20/20 vision for education.”

Coolican and Mellow will now represent Flagler Schools in the statewide Teacher and Support Employee of the Year competition, according to the news release.

Flagler Women Rising W

omen’s March 2020 came to Flagler Beach on a sunny Saturday, Jan. 28, with hundreds of demonstrators demanding equal rights.

“Women’s rights are human rights,” the women repeated.

The march was a sister march of the one nationwide in remembrance of the Women’s March on Washington in 2017, which was likely the largest single-day demonstration in the U.S., according to the New York Times.

The Flagler march started at Wadsworth Park and proceeded eastward over the bridge to Veterans Park. It was joined and supported by Indivisible members of Flagler, St. Johns and Clay counties, the March Alliance of North Florida, the DEC, and the Flagler Beach Democratic Club, led by Pat Ferraro.

I think that women’s rights are human rights, and we are all equal, so that is very important. I think that very being lost and destroyed in the Trump administration.”

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office announces the retirements of K-9 Marko and K-9 Tag after a combined total of 17 years of dedicated service to the community of Flagler County.

K-9 Marko was born on May 24, 2011. He began his career with the FCSO when he was a year old and has served on the K-9 Unit for 8 years. During his time at the FCSO, K-9 Marko served as a dual-purpose canine, which means that he was utilized for patrol as well as narcotics detection.

K-9 Tag was born on June 28, 2010. He began his career with the FCSO shortly after his first birthday. During his time at the FCSO, K-9 Tag also served as a dual-purpose canine.

Both K-9 Marko and K-9 Tag have attended multiple community events and has left a tremendous impact on everyone who has had the opportunity to meet him.

With K-9 Marko’s retirement comes K-9 Holmes’ promotion to full-time. K-9 Holmes will be the FCSO’s first full-time bloodhound in decades. While on duty, K-9 Holmes will be used for finding missing persons, suicidal persons, and others who may need to be found quickly.

Likewise, K-9 Tag’s retirement brings K-9 Odin to the FCSO K-9 Unit. K-9 Odin is a two-and-

“It is always bitter sweet when any member of the FCSO family retires,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

“K-9 Marko and K-9 Tag have both gone above and beyond the call of duty, and we are going to miss them. They are both very good boys, and I was honored to give them each a big retirement bone!”

During their retirements, K-9 Marko will live with his handler, Cpl. Fred Gimbel, and his family.

Likewise, K-9 Tag will live with this handler, Cpl. Robert Tarczewski, and his family. We wish them well!

The first man to take a bite Matt Jackson: first in line to dine at Popeye’s opening JOEY PELLEGRINO STAFF WRITER

Matt Jackson was in line at 8:30 a.m. for the opening of Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen on Jan. 19.

There were two people ahead of him, to begin with, but when it became apparent that a 10 a.m. opening was not going to happen, due to a lack of fryer parts which were meant to be shipped the day before, they left to come back later.

Not Jackson.

“I’m chill here,” he said at 11 a.m. when asked if he felt impatient to enter the doors of the new eatery at 6130 State Road 100.

Another two hours later, with a long queue of customers forming behind him, the parking lot filling up and the property being ringed with cars ready for the drivethru, Jackson was still there, only having taken off his Maruchanbrand ramen noodle soup jacket and “Popeye’s Sandwich War Veteran” wool hat.

“I had nothing going on today,”

Jackson said, “and I’m a very patient person.”

When the customers were allowed in around 2:45 p.m., plenty of chicken had been made and was served as soon as it hit the counter. Matt Jackson’s order was simple: a regular chicken sandwich. Quickly ordered and just as quickly delivered.

After so many hours of waiting — and Jackson did not stay to eat the whole thing in the restaurant — it had to be asked: Was it worth it?

“Definitely,” Jackson said. “It’s so good.”

Matt Jackson arrived at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 19 and was served six hours later.

On Wednesday, Jan. 15, Flagler Palm Coast High School sat up shop at the Rymfire Elementary School gym to give the community one of many opportunities to connect with the school and its services.

James Russell, high school principal, has a goal to reach out to families in the county to inform them about the services available and address attendance and grades.

“We want to bring our best foot forward, share information, and improve the school plan,” Russell said.

Part of the improvement plan works on improving the graduation rate, literacy skills and tackling chronic absenteeism in the county.

FPC students, administrators, guidance counselors, attendance clerks, grad

coaches and mentors had booths to interact with families. There was music and other activities for the attendees.

Parents and guardians also had the opportunity to sign up for resources such as Skyward grading access, mobile hotspots, STUFF Bus, athletic teams, Student Government Association, student services, African American Mentor Program, guidance, and MTSS, or Multi-Tier System of Supports.

Steve DeAugustino is FPC’s athletics director — and part time cook, he said.

Patricia Ann (Griffin) Flebotte of Palm Coast passed away at her home on January 12, 2020. Her husband of 49 years, Victor G. Flebotte, and her son, Patrick Joseph Flebotte, 47, were at her side. She was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on June 26, 1950 to Elizabeth and Jack Griffin. The second of three daughters, she was outspoken and friendly to everyone. Anyone who knew Pattie knew she loved to dance. Her dream was to be a New York Rockette but, alas, she was only 5 feet and 2 ½ inchestoo short! She worked in the medical field for over 40 years. First as a Candy Striper volunteer at Mercy Hospital in Springfield then as a CSR Tech at Western Mass Hospital in Westfield, Massachusetts, where she retired from. Pattie and Vic moved to Palm Coast in December of 1996 from Feeding Hills, Massachusetts and founded The Class-A-Graphics Company which later became Class -A- Printing. She was in charge of all office duties. Customers would come in for free medical advice on all their aches and pains. She retired in 2015 and spent her time enjoying her friends- dancing, parties and playing cards for pennies. Vic Flebotte retired in 2017 when Pattie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon and Liver Cancer. She fought for 2 ½ years with all her might from North Florida Cancer Hospital to Gainesville. It was a losing battle- she surrendered her body to God on January 12, 2020 and left on her journey to heaven. It’s a sad day for all who knew the pretty little woman who gave so much to so many. She’s now in heaven dancing with God and all her friends who
