BRIEFS To stop coronavirus, wash your hands There are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in Flagler Schools, according to a Feb. 27 press release sent by the district. If any cases are confirmed, staff and parents/guardians will be notified. Flagler Schools will continue to follow CDC recommendations to prevent any infection of a respiratory virus, which includes:  Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.  Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.  Avoid close contact with people who are sick.  Stay home when sick. The school will work with you on absences related to coronavirus.  Cough or sneeze into an elbow or use a tissue.

The Gardens Pandemic Working Group prepares for coronavirus moves forward Precautions like hand The proposed development has stirred community opposition.

Three labs in the state — in Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa — are now testing for the coronavirus, but swabs can be taken by local health providers and then sent to the labs. Most people shouldn’t be wearing face masks, Lord added: Those are useful for people who have the illness and are trying to avoid spreading it to others.

A planned development along John Anderson Highway south of State Road 100 that has generated resident opposition is expected to head before a Flagler County Technical Review Committee on March 18.

This will be the second appearance before the TRC for the community called The Gardens, by Palm Coast Intracoastal developer Ken Belshe.

“We’ve had some inconsistencies between the PUD development agreement from 2005 and the current plan,” said Adam Mengel, the county’s growth management director. At this point, the objective, he said, “is just to make those two consistent.”

The March 18 meeting will likely happen if the developer submits a response by March 4 to comments sent by the county’s planning department.

After the Technical Review Committee meeting, the proposed development could go before the Planning Board on April 14, and then before the Flagler County Commission at its May 18 meeting.

Readying for the likelihood that coronavirus COVID-19 will make it to Flagler, Flagler County staff are forming a collaborative Pandemic Working Group to explore ways to prepare.

“We will see impacts on our workforce, I am sure, at some point,” County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord told county commissioners at a commission meeting March 2.

The working group includes representatives from fire departments, law enforcement, the school district and AdventHealth Palm Coast, among others.

So far, priorities have included ensuring that first responders and medical staff have what they need and that the county is prepared for the possibility that it will find itself short-staffed.

Lord expects the working group to continue in future years.

“It’s COVID-19 today; it will be something else next year,” he said.

In a presentation for the commission, Lord and Bob Snyder, the Florida Department of HealthFlagler administrator, explained that coronaviruses aren’t uncommon — the flu is one. But COVID-19, even though most people

The COVID-19 coronavirus

don’t have serious symptoms, has a higher mortality rate.

“What’s interesting is that 80% of individuals with the virus have reported mild symptoms, or they’re asymptomatic,” Snyder said. “The mortality rate is less than 2%.”

But for comparison, the mortality rate of the flu — which killed 80,000 in the U.S. last year, in the worst flu season in 40 years — is approximately 0.1%, he said.

COVID-19 has been designated a public health emergency in Florida, and is likely to be deemed a pandemic — meaning it has spread around the world — by the World Health Organization, Lord said.

As of March 1, Lord said, there have been about 80,000 cases in China, and about 2,800 deaths; and an estimated 62 cases and one death in the U.S. There are two presumptive positive cases in Florida, and those individuals are both self-isolated, he said.

AVOIDING ILLNESS

Protective measures, Snyder said, involves hand washing with soap for at least 20 seconds, using hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, and avoiding touching your hands to your eyes, mouth and nose.

Sneeze into the crook of your arm: COVID-19 is spread through droplets from a cough or sneeze, and people as far as 6 feet away can be affected. Common symptoms are flu-like, and the incubation period is 2-14 days.

Because there’s no treatment and no vaccine, he said, global health efforts have been dedicated to containing the disease.

Anyone who has symptoms and who’s traveled to an affected area like Italy or Iran, or who’s had close contact with someone who has, should call the Health Department and self-isolate, he said.

Commissioner Donald O’Brien asked County Attorney Al Hadeed if the County Commission would have the power to make an emergency declaration that would enable it to, for instance, shut down a planned large gathering like a festival that could potentially endanger people.

That would be possible, Hadeed said: The commission’s chairman, David Sullivan, would technically be authorized to do so himself, although best practice would be to convene the entire commission, if possible.

Lord said that in Florida, the Health Department takes the lead on responding to public health emergencies, but Emergency Management is also preparing, just as it would for something like a hurricane or a flood.

“We’ll just have to keep on it, like we do any big emergency,” he said.

He added that employers — including the county — should be advising employees who are sick not to come to work, especially if they’re showing a fever.

Holland, Coastal Cloud respond to allegations NO NEW Former city employee’s letter to the editor contained ‘baseless false accusations,’ Mayor Holland said.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Mayor Milissa Holland and her boss, Coastal Cloud cofounder Tim Hale, refuted at length during March 3’s City Coucil meeting several accusations published in an opinion piece in the Palm Coast Observer. Holland and Hale said the relationship between Coastal Cloud and the city of Palm Coast withstands legal and ethical scrutiny.

Coastal Cloud entered into an agreement with the city in 2018 and produced a 3-1-1 app called Palm Coast Connect. Under the agreement, Palm Coast didn’t pay the company, whose founders say it spent $320,000 on the research and development process.

Still, several former city employees raised objections about the process by which Coastal Cloud was selected and the relationship between Holland and Coastal Cloud, with former city communications manager Cindi Lane writing a letter to the editor that was published in the Palm Coast Observer’s Feb. 27 edition.

(See https://bit.ly/2Tnf39W.) Holland and Hale responded to claims by Lane and two other former city employees — former City Manager Jim Landon and Jason Giraulo, a former member of the city’s marketing team — and told the City Council on March 3 that the Observer shouldn’t have published Lane’s letter.

“This is very, very, very upsetting — very upsetting — and it should never happen in our community ever again,” Holland said.

“Our community is better than this, and our community deserves better than this.”

She called the employees’ actions “offensive,” and said they had tried to “rewrite the narrative.”

“There’s no factual documentation or record to back up what they’re insinuating,” she said.

SALESFORCE COST

Lane, Giraulo and Landon all spoke to the Palm Coast Observer about Coastal Cloud after Executive Editor Brian McMillan asked them about a series of city staff resignations that followed Landon’s firing by the City Council in September 2018. Lane and Giraulo were among the resignations. All expressed concerns about Coastal Cloud’s selection in light of the company’s

closeness with the mayor.

Central to Lane’s and Landon’s concerns was a perception that it had been misleading to speak of Coastal Cloud’s app as “free” — although Palm Coast is not paying Coastal Cloud itself, the city does have to pay $100,000 per year for licenses for Salesforce, the platform on which the app is run — and that the city had other, less expensive options, but that the mayor’s closeness to Coastal Cloud made it difficult for employees to object.

McMillan i n ve s t i ga te d those concerns, but found “no evidence of unethical behavior,” and decided not to write a story about it. But he did print Lane’s letter to the editor, appending to it an editor’s note explaining that he believed that “most of the concerns were based on miscommunications on both sides.” He then published a news analysis piece that detailed the Observer’s research. (See https://bit. ly/2TyvuiF.) Holland said Landon hadn’t stated his objections to the Salesforce licensing cost objections, and that, contrary to his assertions, city staff weren’t working on other alternatives.

“Apparently, Jim Landon felt intimidated by Milissa Holland.

That just flatly didn’t happen,” she said. “Jim Landon always said exactly what he felt.”

But the difficulty of raising such objections had been central to Lane’s letter: “How could city employees feel 100% comfortable expressing concerns or raising questions about the development or marketing of a product or service being received from

“I’m totally satisfied; we’ve got a first-rate product and we’ve got first rate people that run Coastal Cloud; I don’t see any downside at all.”

JACK HOWELL, city councilman

DOLLAR STORES FOR 120 DAYS

“This is very, very, very upsetting — very upsetting — and it should never happen in our community ever again. Ever again. We are better than this.”

MILISSA HOLLAND, Palm Coast mayor

the company where the mayor is employed?” Lane wrote. “How could employees suggest that a project of this magnitude be put out for bid so that other products could be considered? How could the city say ‘no’ to Coastal Cloud’s app even as it became clear the financial cost was going to be so much higher than SeeClickFix or another readily available product? They couldn’t.”

Lane also said Holland had been unusually involved with the staff process of launching Palm Coast Connect, and that Holland had heavily edited a city news release about the app. Holland said that was “100% false.”

Holland also noted that the entire City Council — except for her, as she’d recused herself — had voted in favor of the Coastal Cloud agreement.

Tim Hale, speaking at the March 3 meeting, called Lane’s allegations “slanderous,” and added that her letter had “recklessly damaged the reputation” of Coastal Cloud. “That’s a big freaking deal to us,” he said.

He displayed on the council meeting room’s video screens a screenshot of residents’ Facebook replies to Lane’s letter, in which residents alleged that Holland had engaged in “shady dealings” or that there had been a “conflict of interest.”

Referring to a statement by Lane that the city had options for the app which would have been three or four times less expensive than Coastal Cloud, he said that was false because the options Lane was referring to didn’t have Coastal Cloud’s level of functionality.

“They’re spinning it into a, ‘We’re paying three-to-four times as much.’ It’s just false, and it shows an incredible lack of rigor in their analysis,” he

said. “...The collection of misinformation released in the public domain — it’s just criminal to me.”

COUNCIL REACTION

City Council members, asked by Holland at the March 3 meeting for their reactions, all voiced support for Coastal Cloud.

Councilman Jack Howell said he’d looked into allegations that something untoward was going on. “I found nothing. There was nothing there,” he said. “I’m totally satisfied; we’ve got a first-rate product, and we’ve got first rate people that run Coastal Cloud; I don’t see any downside at all.”

Klufas said that he believed that supporting a local company “is a win-win,” and that Palm Coast Connect is useful for the city.

Councilman Eddie Branquinho said, “What I’ve found here today … is Coastal Cloud is guilty of nothing except being kind, and, Mayor, you are absolutely not guilty of anything, in my mind.”

Councilman Bob Cuff, an attorney, noted that he’d initially had some concerns about an agreement with the mayor’s company, but was satisfied with the way the agreement was conducted and the fact that Coastal Cloud wasn’t receiving payment.

“Vigilant citizens are one of the best ways to keep your elected officials honest, but I am satisfied that when the Palm Coast Observer contacted me after the recent letter to the editor ... I do not feel I was in any way misled by our staff as to what our options were,” he said.

A moratorium passed 3-2.

Mayor Holland believes dollar stores contribute to ‘food deserts.’ Howell says the moratorium scares away other businesses.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

For at least the next 120 days, Palm Coast won’t get any new dollar stores: The City Council passed a moratorium on the businesses at its meeting on March 3.

The vote for the moratorium was 3-2, with Councilmen Jack Howell and Bob Cuff dissenting.

Palm Coast has four existing Dollar General stores and two Dollar Tree stores. Those existing stores would not be affected by the moratorium.

The city had approved a resolution in favor of a moratorium 5-0 in January, but Howell later said he was having second thoughts.

He’s been trying to recruit outof-state aviation-related businesses to come to Palm Coast, he said, and two companies he’d contacted told him they’d read about the moratorium and were questioning whether the city was business-friendly.

“We have to be very careful on this,” Howell said.

The city’s planning board voted in favor of the moratorium on Feb. 19, but the vote was divided, 4-3.

The moratorium is not to be taken as a prelude to a ban, city staff said. Instead, it’s an opportunity for the city to explore whether additional regulations on the stores, referred to in the ordinance as “small-box discount stores,” would be beneficial for the city.

Mayor Milissa Holland had proposed the moratorium, expressing concerns that dollar stores could crowd out healthier grocery options and contribute to food deserts.

City staff will present findings to the council at a future meeting, Chief Development Officer Jason DeLorenzo said.

Palm Coast resident Toby Tobin said he strongly opposed the moratorium and any kind of ordinance limiting the stores. He noted that the term “food desert” typically refers to low-income urban areas that lack access to fresh food, and that Palm Coast isn’t urban and isn’t lacking for grocery choices.

“Trust me, the arrival of a new dollar store in Matanzas Woods will not deter Publix,” he said.

Palm Coast resident Jack Carall objected to the idea of the city interfering with residents; shopping choices.

“You’re telling us — we’re the shopper — what to buy and who stays in business? No. If I want to go into a general store, that’s my business, not your business,” he said.

Palm Coast City Manager Matt Morton

Palm Coast City Manager Matt Morton is meeting with other local officials and experts to prepare for COVID-19 cases to appear in Palm Coast.

Morton met with AdventHealth on Monday, March 2, and is meeting with Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord on Wednesday, March 4, he said at a City Council meeting March 3.

to stay home if they’re ill, city staff told the City Council at the March 3 meeting.

The city Fire Department has been instructed by the state not to dispose of personal protective equipment just because its passed its expiration date, and is also considering reducing how many staff members go out on flu-like-symptom calls.

Typically, it would be five, but the department is looking at dropping that down to two.

Individuals are also being advised not to call 911 if

they’re showing flu-like symptoms, but to instead go to a local doctor’s office.

“It’s not a matter of if, but when,” Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord told the council. “The coronavirus will be here in our community, just like the flu is here in our community.”

It’s much like the flu, he added, in that the people most impacted are the very young, those with compromised immune systems, and the elderly.

Council approves fleet purchasing agreements The Palm Coast City Council at its March 3 meeting unanimously approved contracts with Caterpillar for the purchasing of heavy equipment parts for the city’s fleet, and with AutoZone for the city’s automotive fleet.

Staff is estimating $30,000 of annual work with Caterpillar, and another $30,000 with AutoZone, according to a city staff background document.

“It’s not a matter of if, but when. The coronavirus will be here in our community just like the flu is here in our community.”

A new age at City Hall: Staff listens

LET T ERS

PalmCoastObserver.com

THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2020

Dear Editor: Since we moved in 16 years ago, City Hall always seemed to be a closed-off place to residents. Sure, we could call for service or issues. And in most cases things were addressed in a timely manner. But when it came to larger concerns or suggestions, the staff never seemed really interested. It often seemed as though the organization existed for the staff and to “sell us” on various agendas.

Recently I’ve had the experience that times have changed, and changed a great deal for the better. We have a great deal of controversy and confusion regarding development in our area. Myself, and others, have naturally been concerned about the impacts on our property values and quality of life. When I messaged in my concerns about one potential project I was pleasantly surprised when I was invited in to discuss my concerns with the city manager and planning staff.

After the hour meeting, I was taken back even more when I received a message from Ray Tyner inviting me in to go over what else is taking place in the area and to answer any questions. I took him up on the offer and had another very informative discussion one Friday afternoon. And after the city Planning Department released its comments regarding the Matanzas West development proposal, Jason DeLorenzo called me to invite me to come in and go over the comments one by one.

This was unprecedented.

Personally, I never even thought it to be an option to even ask to meet and discuss any concerns. I appreciate that these departments and these individuals are very busy with a lot on their plates. So it is not only appreciated for them taking the time to meet, but it speaks volumes to me about the direction and culture developing at City Hall under our new City Manager Matthew Morton.

It’s easy to complain and point fingers at “the city” for things that are, or what we perceive as, issues. I’ve done it, and probably too often.

But the reality that I am seeing today is that we have leadership that is working to develop a City Hall that is a true service to the community.

A City Hall that has its doors open, is welcoming, and willing to listen.

From improved customer service with the development of Citizen Engagement, to the willingness to innovate to improve and streamline issue reporting and tracking with Palm Coast Connect, to the pleasant and welcoming smiles when you walk through the door, and the effort to be more accessible and available to residents. These are all welcome changes.

Change takes time, and especially when it comes to culture changes. But I think we all should take some time and give credit where credit is due versus assuming and spreading misleading accusations. We should think more on solutions and how we can all be a part of them versus simply complaining about the problems and what someone else needs to, or should, do.

So thank you to the City Council for making the bold step to demand change. To our new city manager for coming in with the vision and willingness to make tough decisions.

To all of the staff who have taken up the challenges that comes with new and different things, your willingness to change, and being there for us.

And especially to Jason DeLorenzo, Ray Tyner, Bill Hoover, and the Planning Department who are handling an extremely busy time with grace and openness to us residents. You are all appreciated and thank you all.

Council members’ behavior shows sense of entitlement Dear Editor: At the Feb. 3 meeting, City Councilman Jack Howell made a motion that dinners should not be paid by the taxpayers.

This motion died for the lack of a second. In attendance and failing to second this motion were Mayor Milissa Holland, Councilman Nick Klufas and Councilman Bob Cuff.

For the record, the city paid — or better said, the taxpayers paid — $380 for Mayor Holland, Councilman Klufas, Councilman Branquinho and City Manager Matt Morton to attend the Chamber of Commerce dinner on Jan. 31. Councilman Howell and Councilman Cuff paid their own way to this dinner.

This free ride and the failure to even look at this matter is very disturbing.

Good job, Jack, on bringing that motion, and shame on all that failed to second. I want my elected officials on the job and paying for their own entertainment.

Airport complainers should have anticipated growth Dear Editor: When I relocated my family in the early ’90s to this unincorporated area of Flagler County, now the city of Palm Coast, there were four traffic lights that I recall. Fast forward to 2020, on Palm Coast Parkway from Palm Harbor to Bell Terre alone, there are nine.

Another truly amazing fact: The recent county meeting on airport noise, apparently a house in one area of a geography can be less than a comparable one in another area. Who knew?!

What the heck is going on around here? All the traffic, the lights, growth, economic opportunity, noise — in general, this total madness is stressing me out. I think I’m going to sue everybody.

Make affordable housing a priority Dear Editor: I commend the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners for approving the agreement to provide cold weather sheltering at the Church on The Rock.

It’s a great first step in our community and local governments coming together to come up with a solution to a community issue.

I would like to encourage our local leaders to use this positive collaboration and momentum to now work towards a community plan for affordable housing.

With Flagler County and many neighboring communities experiencing tremendous growth and development, we can no longer afford to say “Not In My Back Yard” or ignore the housing affordability crisis as 42% of our community is Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) and likely one missed paycheck away from experiencing homelessness.

There are quite a few apartments in construction or in the pipeline, but how many of those units are truly affordable to our residents who need affordable rents and may need supportive services, and for how long are the units affordable before they become market rate?

To scratch the surface of housing need, one study shows Flagler has a deficit of 1,350 units for residents

earning up to 80% of the area median income (and this number is a few years old).

And so 500 units or so is barely making a dent; it’s a start, but the need is so great.

I’d also like to share the critical importance of the Florida Legislature fully funding the Sadowski Housing Trust Fund.

Flagler has been receiving the minimum allocation of SHIP funds of $350,000 for several years now because of the continued “sweeps” or “raiding” of the housing trust fund.

Full funding means our community would receive an annual allocation of approximately $1.3 million to be able to serve many more residents in need of affordable housing.

It is time to develop and implement a countywide affordable housing plan — one that truly promotes a diversity of housing options, covers the continuum of housing needs from homelessness to homeownership, and ensures lasting affordability.

Providing temporary shelter for cold nights is an important step and I hope it is the beginning of many that will provide not just shelter, but permanent affordable housing solutions for all residents in our community.

DELIVERY Florida Park Drive repairs are a mess

I propose prayers at City Council meetings

Dear Editor: Before the city starts repaving roads, it would be nice if they fixed the terrible repairs they made across both lanes on Florida Park Drive a year or so ago in front of 39 Florida Park Drive.

I feel sorry for people living near there hearing cars and trucks going over all those bumps every day. They aren’t due to settling; it’s been that way since they made the repairs.

Dear Editor: My first act after winning the August election and being seated as a City Councilman will be to introduce a resolution to begin all Palm Coast City Council meetings and workshops with a prayer, followed by the Pledge of Alliance to our flag.

Our county was founded on religion. Legislative prayer in America has been a part of our history and tradition from day one. The Supreme Court has ruled that legislative bodies, such as our city councils, can begin meetings with a prayer.

Prayer is the very fabric of our society. Both houses of Congress have opened each daily session with prayer since 1789. Most state legislatures in American open their sessions with prayer.

Prayer is a recognition that Americans deem their own existence must be understood by precepts far beyond the authority of government.

“In God We Trust” is even printed on our currency.

I am pledging today that I will follow in the recent footsteps of our Flagler County Board of Commissioners and bring prayer to the Palm Coast City Council.

BILL SIMPSON Palm Coast

Weeds at Matanzas course have become a fire hazard Dear Editor: Regarding the Palm Coast planning staff concerns about “maintaining existing homeowner’s golf course views,” I find it somewhat amusing that they are concerned about that, since the developer has already ruined our golf course views through total lack of maintenance of the property since he purchased it in the spring of 2019. Despite being assured by the city that the course would be mowed at least three times per year, it has never been mowed once north of Leaver Drive. The weeds now stand up to 6 feet tall, and as spring approaches represent a brushfire hazard.

County clarifies: Jerry Cameron is ‘acting’ county administrator

When Flagler County first hired Jerry Cameron in February 2019, he was hired as an interim county administrator — someone to deal with some ongoing issues while the County Commission sought out a longterm replacement.

But within a couple of months, the commission, pleased with his performance, decided to keep him on, voting in April to halt the search for a replacement.

“It’s just taken much, much longer than we anticipated,” County Attorney Al Hadeed told the Commission at its March 2 meeting.

“We have some new issues; issues have gotten more complex. ... We’re going to need him for a longer period of time to get us out of this hole that we’re in.”

There’s been one hitch: Camer-

O F PA L M C O A S T

on doesn’t live in Flagler County — he lives in St. Johns — and state law requires that a regular county administrator reside in the county he or she serves.

But there is an exception for an “acting administrator,” who is not required to live in the county he serves. Hadeed proposed updating Cameron’s contract to clarify that he is an acting administrator.

“I’m not saying today that it’s going to be a longterm engagement, but it is beyond the interim that we originally conceived,” Hadeed said.

“We’d be hard pressed to find anyone who can take on that job and do the job that Jerry’s done,” Commissioner Charlie Ericksen said.

The commission approved the contract amendment 3-0. Commissioners Joe Mullins and Greg Hansen were absent.

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

Woman, 19, charged in 2018 robbery shooting A Palm Coast woman is now the third person to be charged as a co-conspirator in an October 2018 robbery shooting that injured Palm Coast resident Carl Saint Felix, then 19, leaving him with a disability.

The woman, Lauryn Darnell, 19, had helped plan the robbery, which was a drug ripoff: The shooter, a now-22-year-old woman named Princess Williams, arranged to meet Saint Felix on White Star Drive on Oct. 16, 2018, to buy marijuana, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. But Williams didn’t bring money for the drugs: Instead, she brought a gun, got into Saint Felix’s car, and held him up at gunpoint for his marijuana and his money.

She shot him in the back of the neck with a handgun, according to an FCSO report.

There were witnesses, and Williams, a Daytona Beach resident, was arrested the next day and later pleaded guilty to attempted felony murder, attempted robbery with a firearm and burglary while armed with

a firearm. She will be sentenced at a hearing in July.

On Feb. 4, FCSO deputies arrested two more people in connection with the shooting: 18-year-old Jimaya Baker and 20-year-old Diovion Smith.

On Feb. 27, deputies got an arrest warrant for Darnell, and arrested her the same day, according to an FCSO news release.

Darnell is being held at the county jail on a $35,000 bond.

Parents arrested after five children found in ‘filth’

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence on Espanola Road in Bunnell on Friday, Feb. 28, for a welfare check requested by Flagler County school officials, who stated there were reports of sewage backing up into the home.

The FCSO responded to the residence and a 12-year-old girl answered the door. The girl got her mother, Tiffany Berry, 31, who stepped out to speak with deputies. Berry told deputies that she and Nicholas Carter, 34, have lived inside the home with their five children ranging in ages from 3 months to 12 years of age.

Berry invited deputies inside the home and they immediately smelled the sewage.

Berry stated the odor was from the septic tank that has been collapsed since 2017 or 2018. Berry further stated that the sewage was no longer

Pedestrian killed in hit-and-run crash A pedestrian was struck and killed in a hit-and-run crash on State Road 100 the afternoon of Feb. 27. The driver has been arrested.

The pedestrian’s name had not been released by authorities as of the morning of Feb. 28, but a Florida Highway Patrol report noted that he was a 29-year-old Orlando resident.

The driver, Palatka resident Joshua Carver, 33, was arrested

by Putnam County Sheriff’s Office deputies for leaving the scene of an accident which resulted in a death.

He has since been turned

hooked to the malfunctioning septic and was being discharged directly onto the ground beneath the house from the only bathroom.

Berry told deputies she and Carter were very well aware of the conditions of the house and the adverse health effects it was having on all five of the children.

Berry told deputies that she has reached out for assistance but no one would help her and that the Department of Children and Families had just told her to move. Berry claims to have notified the property owner of the condition of the home but that the lease had expired and the landlord will not make repairs. Berry said that she and Carter have plans to make repair to the home when they get their tax refund.

During the investigation, it was discovered that the oldest child has an untreated mental health condition and was often left home unattended and instructed by Berry and Carter to look after her four siblings while the parents went to work and to hide if anyone knocked on the door.

The living conditions have

been an ongoing problem since May 2016 per school records, when the oldest child arrived at school covered in bug bites and smelling of urine. Since then, Berry and Carter have been contacted by multiple organizations who have offered assistance that they have either turned down or never followed up on.

FCSO contacted DCF who arrived and took custody of all five children. Berry and Carter were placed under arrest for child neglect.

15-year-old charged in child pornography case

A 15-year-old boy was charged on Feb. 25 with five counts of possession of child pornography and one count of manufacturing child pornography.

Images and video were found showing men engaging in sexually explicit acts with children as young as 2, according to the FCSO arrest report. The suspect was turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Daytona Beach, who refused to accept him, based on its points systm. He was released to the custody of his guardians.

VETERANS ON POINT

A support line based in Brevard County is helping veterans in Flagler County and Volusia County.

The support line, called the Florida Veterans Support Line, is connected with 2-1-1 in the area.

“We are peer-support specialists who support other veterans,” MyFLVET Team Leader Henry Angulo told the Flagler County Veterans Advisory Council March 2. “We like to focus especially on mental health, and connecting them to the VA.” The support line has also helped veterans in need of financial assistance or connection to senior living facilities, he said.

To speak to a Florida Veterans Support Line specialist, call 2-1-1 or 1-844-MyFLVET (693-5838).

VAC bylaws amended The Veterans Advisory Council has amended its bylaws to make it clear that only formal representatives of veterans service organizations can cast votes during VAC meetings. The previous wording said “each member attending” should vote; the new wording states that each organization’s delegate, or their alternate delegate in the event the primary delegate is absent, can vote.

Flagler Palm Coast’s baseball team had periodic struggles at the mound early in their matchup against crosstown rival Matanzas the night of Friday, Feb. 28, at Matanzas High School.

But then Bulldogs’ bats got hot.

After the Bulldogs and Pirates were tied 5-5 after three innings, the Bulldogs scored five runs in the top of the fourth inning and tacked on three more fifth inning.

“It wasn’t our best game,” FPC junior first baseman/pitcher Noah Trawick said. “We found the bats a few times and took advantage of a few of their mistakes.”

After five runs in the opening two frames, the Pirates mustered one run the rest of the game — in the sixth inning. The Bulldogs won 13-6.

“It’s been our mantra for two weeks,” Pirates head coach Jim Perry said. “Self-inflicted wounds.”

For Bulldogs senior infielder/ pitcher Joseph Alvarado, it was his first time playing against the Pirates. Alvarado played for Matanzas the past three seasons before transferring to FPC. “I feel good about this team,” he said. “We’re getting the job done.”

In addition, it was Anthony Campanella’s first matchup

First Baptist Christian Academy earns top Readiness Rate

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

First Baptist Christian Academy’s path to becoming the best preschool in Flagler County, at least by one measure, might have begun six years ago, when Director Sandy Emery hired her teachers. With each of them, it was an easy decision.

“You can tell by somebody’s spirit how they’re going to be with kids,” Emery said. “They all just have this sweet, loving, godly spirit. You can tell. And their reputation speaks for them.”

JoLyn Robinson and Diane Stade, who are sisters, began as teachers at FBCA in 2014, as did Diana Dall’Orto. Susan Wanerka was hired the following year.

Today, the Early Learning Coalition data show that FBCA’s Readiness Rate is 89, the best in the county. The rate measures how well a school prepares its 4-year-olds for kindergarten, based on standardized testing.

“These ladies truly love these kids like they’re their own,” Emery said Feb. 27, in her office at 6052 Palm Coast Parkway NW. The nonprofit private school has 44 VPK students. Like all the other preschools, it’s paid for by the state, at a rate of $4.31 per hour per child.

FBCA’s school began in 2008.

Over the years, it added more grades and expanded by leasing the historic courthouse in Bunnell. The growth continued, and the preschool was moved back to the church campus where it is today.

Diana Dall’Orto has been teaching classes at FBCA since 2014. One key to the school’s success, according to Director Sandy Emery, is the fact that there hasn’t been any turnover on the teaching staff.

But even with the growth, it’s a tight community. Teachers attend non-school-related sporting events to support the students.

And when the VPK staff learned that the mother of one of the students who had attended VPK five years earlier had broken her leg, the staff still pitched in to help. Emery recalled the warm welcome she received when she brought the family a meal herself.

“They asked me to stay and eat with them,” Emery said. “They just couldn’t believe we were still investing in their kids when they had been gone for so long.”

In the classrooms on Feb. 27, students took turns sounding out words as prompted by their

“They all just have this sweet, loving, godly spirit.”

READINESS RATES The state’s Office of Early Learning recently released the Readiness Rates of preschools.

The rates use standardized testing to measure a school’s success in preparing 4-year-olds for kindergarten. The top performing schools in Flagler County are as follows:  First Baptist Christian Academy 89  Christ The King 84  Old Kings Elementary 84  United Methodist School 79  Belle Terre Elementary 76 Visit https://vpkrates.floridaearlylearning.com.

teachers. They played on the playground, all with smiles on their faces. And the teachers were smiling, too.

“The scores are great, but the love they invest in these kids is what really makes me excited and proud to be their director,” Emery said.

As Rick Meyer volunteered with Provision Packs to help feed hungry kids in Ormond Beach, he knew Palm Coast kids needed help, too.

Provision Packs, founded in Ormond by Carrie Torres, sends food home with children on the weekends, with the knowledge that some kids only eat at school and don’t have food at home. In 2015 she started the program feeding two children; the number is now more than 500.

Thanks to Meyer’s involvement, the program has expanded to Rymfire Elementary School, the first in Flagler County. Each meal package contains seven meals and has a value of $25. The cost purchased though Second Harvest is $5. Every dollar counts, he said.

“I have been delivering food directly to kids every Friday for two years,” Meyer wrote in an email. “It’s wonderful to see that look in their eye when I put the package in their back packs. Kids in our area should not have to worry about food!”

Angie Bush, director of Food Services at Flagler Schools, said the number of students on free or reduced lunch is around 65% districtwide. That’s up from about 35% about 15 years ago.

She is thrilled that Meyer and Provision Packs are helping Flagler students.

“I love that they’re trying to fill a niche that we can’t fill,” Bush said. “We can do breakfast, lunch, after school, and we do summer breakfast sites, but there’s still the weekends. I support it a million percent.”

THIRTEENTH ANNUAL

MEGAN FARRELL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I planned my career around it. So in July 2018, when my husband, Brady, and I found out we were having our first child, I was surprised by my initial fears.

I loved my job fiercely and was fully focused on it. Brady and I were just getting in the groove of working together full time as spouses on our real estate business, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to add being a mama into the mix. I went through ups and downs well into my second trimester.

After I had my baby, I absolutely adored being a mom. But I wasn’t able to work much, other than stealing time here and there, and I missed working. I missed the satisfaction and accomplishment of setting and achieving business goals.

Postpartum depression was a real thing for me. I began to seek out resources for not just moms, but working moms, in Flagler County.

There were almost none, which led me to creating the Facebook group “Flagler County Working Mamas.” I assumed a couple of my friends would

join, and we could commiserate about our daily challenges and laugh at our daily mishaps.

Twenty-two-hundred members later, I guess I wasn’t as alone as I thought.

The vision of the group is to encourage and empower the working mamas in our community while building relationships with one another.

So why am I here in the Palm Coast Observer? Just like the group, the purpose of this column is to inspire, encourage, and connect with the working mamas out there. Each week, you will read stories of my adventures as a working mom — the joyful and the heartbreaking.

We’ll discuss everything from meal prepping and 20-minute workouts to best places to shop and favorite coffee shops. We will have guest writers and interviews with other working mamas, and through that, get to know each other a little better.

This journey of motherhood is a challenging one, and I want you to know you’re not alone either. I believe that empowered women empower women, so grab a glass of wine, find a quiet spot (ha!) and let’s get to know each other!

Have an idea for a future column topic? Have a question? Email Megan Farrell at megan@themeganfarrellteam. com.

We know the market. We know the process.

We’re here for you.

Florida Agricultural Museum has ambition to become a true statewide attraction

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

P

ast the Strawn barns and worker homes dating back to the 1800s, past the chickens and cracker horses, past the cedar forest, there is a museum within the Florida Agricultural Museum. It’s new, successful, and it’s just part of a broad effort to transform the entire property into more of a statewide attraction.

Flagler’s ‘gem’

heartbreaking.”

Carignan’s passion was on display during a media tour Feb. 28, 2020. He explained that children love the archeology exhibit, where the tour guides show them coprolite and ask them to handle it and guess what it is (fossilized dino droppings). When the kids go home, they tell their parents, “I touched dinosaur poop today!

It was awesome!”

At the replica ship, called the Corazon de Madre, Carignan explains that this is the type of ship used to sail across the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of years ago.

Sailors slept on the deck; below deck was for animals only. There were glass prisms built into the deck to provide light below.

FROM PAGE 19

The Old Florida Museum used to be located in St. Augustine, with more than 18,000 children from across the state touring six exhibits in a village format every year. There was an archeological hands-on dig, a Timicua Indian program, a Spanish colonial fort complete with dress-up skits, a pioneer homestead and a 70-foot replica of a Spanish ship.

But after new owners purchased the property in St. Augustine in 2018, the OFM was donated. The exhibits were moved to a 2-acre plot of land at the Ag Museum, at 7900 Old Kings Road N., in Palm Coast. So far, the dig exhibit and the ship are open, with others under construction, and it has already grossed $30,000, at $8 per exhibit visit.

The Ag Museum’s executive director, Kara Hoblick, is seeking $795,000 in state funds to complete the village, adding a gift shop, offices, public restrooms, pavilion and parking lot. The potential —a word Hoblick uses often to describe the Ag Museum —is enormous. Flagler County has a chance to serve tour groups on their way to or from St. Augustine.

‘THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME’

This Florida cracker house was built in the 1880s and donated from the Clark family in Osteen.

There was no running water and no electricity, so rain water was boiled and made into tea.

Left: James Fiske, volunteer tour guide, explains that this bell was used to wake up Theodore Strawn’s workers to begin work at citrus groves in DeLeon Springs in the 1800s. The bell could be heard across hundreds of acres.

THE OLD FLORIDA MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

“Some teachers have been coming here for close to 20 years,” said Dan Carignan, who was the manager of the OFM in St. Augustine and has stuck with the attraction after the move to Flagler County. When the OFM closed in St. Augustine in 2018, “teachers were crying,” he recalled. “It was really

Hoblick has been in her role at the Ag Museum for three years. Before that, she worked in ad agencies and was a volunteer. When the prospect of being in charge of the museum arose, she was hesitant.

The property was out of money, and it would be a massive project to improve it.

Then she took a full tour. “I was speechless,” she recalled. “This was place was a gem —could be a gem. It has never come into its own, but this is the right time.”

For people who are tired of the hustle and stress of modern life, the Ag Museum is a place to slow down, she said.

When she accepted the role as executive director, she was all in.

“I won’t sell something I don’t believe in,” she said. “I’m ready to go out to the community and the entire state of Florida and say, ‘We’re ready. Come on board.’”

COMING SOON Kara Hoblick, executive director, believes the 460 acres of the Florida Agricultural Museum have more to offer. “The potential is mind-boggling,” she said. Here are some of the projects she hopes to bring to life in the near future:

OLD FLORIDA MUSEUM It’s already open, but the Old Florida Museum will be greatly improved if the state approves a $795,000 grant this year. See the story for more details.

PETTING BARN Some children who go to the Ag Museum have never pet a cat or a dog, let alone horse. Hoblick hopes to create a petting barn on the property.

RIDEABLE MODEL TRAIN The North Florida Live Engine Railroad and Steamers Club, based in Bostwick, has built one mile of 1/8 scale model train on the Ag Museum property. It will be ready for riders by the fall.

WEDDINGS AND OTHER EVENTS There are already about 25 weddings a year at the Ag Museum, but Hoblick would like to double that number. A pond on the property has potential for a secluded location. A parking area is under construction. Hoblick also would like to host farm-to-table dinners and barn dances on the property.

AG EXPO The museum’s mission is to educate about Florida’s agricultural past, present and future. So far, the museum has focused on the past. But Hoblick wants to showcase current ag practices in an expo event. Many don’t realize the high-tech aspects of farming today; for example, drones are used to analyze soil and then talk to tractors to apply the right amount of water and fertilizer.

LAND BRIDGE The wildlife land bridge over I-95, north of Matanzas Woods but south of St. Augustine, is one of just two interstate land bridges in the state. Named for Flagler County pioneer Raymond Tucker, the land bridge is overgrown with nonnative plants, so Hoblick’s plan is to use native plants. Game cameras have shown that deer use the land bridge.

MELDRIM HOUSE FOUNDATION The Meldrim house (pictured on this page) was moved from St. Augustine in November, the first structure to be relocated to the Florida Ag Museum in 10 years.

In April, the museum will find out whether it will receive a $16,000 grant to construct a proper foundation.

Kyle Totten is sworn in by Bunnell Police Chief Tom Foster, as Judge Andrea Totten witnesses.

BUNNELL HIRES VETERAN OFFICER AS DETECTIVE Police Chief Tom Foster swore in the latest member of the Bunnell Police Department, Detective Kyle Totten, on Feb. 24. Totten is married to Judge Andrea Totten, and they have three children.

The city’s strategic plan, adopted in October, called for the creation of an investigative component at the department to help with case clearance rates.

Kyle Totten brings 26 years of law enforcement experience as well as seven years of military experience to the Bunnell Police Department. Among awards he has received are the Daytona Beach Police Medal of Honor and Medal of Valor. He served in the U.S. Army during the Cold War, Desert Shield/ Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom and has received the U.S. Army Combat Infantryman’s Badge.

Meshella Woods, curator/board director for the African American Cultural Society Inc. spoke to the University Women of Flagler on Feb. 15 about the history and mission of the AACS. Artist Bettie Eubanks delivered a certificate to Woods on behalf of UWF, which also plans to make a donation to AACS in her name.

Woods also reported that Ronaele R. Bowman recently donated books to the AACS; Luzibu Nsakala donated other artifacts; and Dr. Gina U. Barclay-McLaughton offered to consult in providing an oral history of AACS members. UWF members Mavis Smith, Barbara Holley, Bettie Eubanks and Agnes Lightfoot are also AACS members, and Woods said, “It was heart-warming to see their smiling faces in the audience.”
