Flagler opts out of vaccinations at state’s second-highest rate The county is not meeting state targets for the percentage of children inoculated.

Out of Florida’s 67 counties, Flagler County has the second-highest rate in the state of students seeking religious exemptions to opt out of vaccinations.

As of August 2018, 5.7% of Flagler County students had a religious exemption, compared to 2.9% of children statewide, Florida Department of Health in Flagler County Administrator Bob Snyder told the Flagler County School Board during its June 18 workshop.

As of May, only 61% of the county’s 2-year-olds were up to date on their vaccines.

“I think by now most of you are aware of the widespread measles outbreak in the United States,” Snyder said. “These cases have been imported from international travel. Local outbreaks have occurred because vaccination rates have decreased considerably around the country. The number of measles cases in 27 states has surpassed 1,000.”

He noted that it had been a “major scientific and public heath achievement when smallpox and polio were eliminated as public health threats,” due to vaccination.

“Today, vaccines still matter,” he said. “Our first request to the School Board is to join the Health Department in assisting us with outreach efforts and getting the word out that vaccines are

indeed safe and effective.”

Only 92% of local kindergartners are inoculated — below the 95% state standard, he said.

Snyder also warned the Palm Coast City Council about the problem.

“We have a contingent of individuals who are misinformed and truly need to be educated on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines,” he told the council. “We need to reverse this trend of not meeting the minimum state targets when it comes to inoculating. ... Unfortunately, people place a lot of stock in what they read and see on the internet, and too many minds are made up that we don’t need to provide vaccinations to our children. What happens is their children, other children and adults are at high risk of getting communicable disease when vaccines are not widespread in our community.”

Flagler climbs in state health rankings The county has risen from 22nd to ninth, out of 67 counties in Florida, over three years.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Over the past three years, Flagler County’s overall health ranking in Florida has risen from 22nd to ninth out of 67 counties, Bob Snyder, the administrator of the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, told the Palm Coast City Council at its June 18 meeting.

The Department of Health fulfills a number of functions (see sidebar at far right), and, last year, affected 9,671 individuals and provided 158,000 services to county residents, Snyder said.

“We offer a very broad scope of services,” he said.

One win: The infant mortality rate for African American women in Flagler has been zero for two years in a row. Snyder noted that that’s not the case for Hispanic women.

“We do need to work on that,” he said. “Overall, we’re doing much better than the state average.”

The Department of Health in Flagler County is also treating about 100 people with HIV, and 98.5% of them have reduced their levels to undetectable, “which is quite an accomplishment,” Snyder said.

There’s also a new, free program that began in January to help people manage diabetes more effectively, or avoid becoming diabetes patients in the first place.

The department also has a new

Out of the 67 counties in the state of Florida: Flagler County is: 9 in heath outcomes, 23 in length of life, 7 in quality of life Putnam is: 66 in heath outcomes, 66 in length of life, 67 in quality of life St. Johns is: 1 in heath outcomes, 3 in length of life, 1 in quality of life Volusia is: 46 in heath outcomes, 46 in length of life, 43 in quality of life.

radio show: “Flagler Health Matters,” on WNZF at 11:30 to noon on Saturdays.

Then there are the ongoing programs: The department has “probably one of the largest dental practices here in Flagler County,” serving children on Medicaid and averaging about 40 patients a day, Snyder said. It also sealed the molars of 1,000 school children last year.

The department is monitoring sexually transmitted diseases — and especially chlamydia, which has increased statewide over recent years.

And it’s preparing for potential disasters: The department runs the county’s hurricane shelter

WHAT DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH DO?  Prenatal care/family planning  Immunizations  WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) supplemental nutrition program  Florida Healthiest Weight and Florida Healthy Babies initiatives  Dental health to pregnant women, and families on medicaid RN liaison for Flagler Schools  Refugee health  Epidemiology  Infectious disease screening treatment and surveillance  Vital statistics  Emergency preparedness, and special needs sheltering during disasters  Community health assessment (every three years)  Environmental health

for people with special medical needs.

The department is now in the process of communicating with local hospitals and community leaders to put together a community health assessment and community health improvement plan.

“We quickly came to the determination that the priorities are probably going to be the same” as in previous recent years, Snyder said.

Currently, those priorities are: Adult mental health, youth behavioral health, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, mothers and children under 5, and family and domestic violence, Snyder said.

Captain’s building will be repaired in place, for $60,000 The current building can be made workable through the end of the restaurant’s lease in 2026, according to the county administration.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Bings Landing a dvo cates who’ve encouraged the county not to allow the expansion and relocation of Captain’s BBQ at Bings showed up to a Flagler County Commission meeting June 17, as they have multiple times in the past. But this time they’d arrived to express their appreciation of the county, not to criticize it.

“I wanted to come and say some thank yous,” said Lynne Rosewater. She added that she wanted to begin with Commissioner Dave Sullivan, who’d brought up his reservations about a lease that the commission — himself included — had approved with the restaurant during a previous meeting. “I think it took a lot of courage to come back ... and share your doubts,” she said.

At the June 17 meeting, County Administrator Jerry Cameron explained that the county — after commissioners during a prior meeting decided to see if it would be feasible to fix rather than replace the county building that houses Captain’s BBQ at Bings Landing park — had discovered that not only was the damage repairable, it was repairable for only $60,000.

The revelation followed half a year of wrangling, numerous protests, and a lawsuit over what to do about the building, all based on the previous county administration’s assertion that the building’s condition was bad enough that it warranted replacement rather than fixing.

Cameron explained how the

previous administration’s error occurred.

“The assumption that we had operated under previously was that the building had uniformly deteriorated throughout the structure,” and that the kind of mold and fungus-based deterioration seen on the interior walls would also be present on exterior ones. But it wasn’t, the county found after assigning its own staff members to conduct more invasive testing over the past two weeks. “The building official came back with a report to me that not only were the exterior walls in much better shape than the interior structure, but in some places they were pristine and like-new condition,” Cameron said.

The previous administration had proposed the construction of a new building at the restaurant’s expense elsewhere in the park. That plan would have let the restaurant operate without the interruption that would have accompanied rebuilding it in place, but it prompted outcry from residents concerned that the relocation would change the character of the popular park on the Intracoastal Waterway.

The county approved a new lease with the restaurant in November that would have allowed the relocation and an expansion to 150 seats, but two weeks later, after incoming County Commissioner Joe Mullins was elected, it changed plans, voting to reconsider the lease it had already signed. Then, on June 3, it decided to have the building reinspected to see if it could be fixed.

And if it couldn’t, commissioners

decided, they’d have a modestly sized replacement constructed at the county’s expense.

Meanwhile, on June 7, Captain’s sued the county, alleging that the county has breached the contract it entered into with Captain’s in November when it agreed to allow a larger, replacement building.

When the County Commission opted to have the building reinspected by its own staff, it also hired an appraiser to appraise the building. That appraisal gave the structure a value of $175,000. The value is relevant because county officials under the administration of former County Administrator Craig Coffey had, last year, expressed concern that an attempt to repair the building in place may involve costs exceeding 50% of its value, the threshold

that would require the old building to be brought up to new building codes, at potentially significant expense. The new $60,000 estimate is well below that threshold.

Chief Building Official Mark Boice inspected the roofing, walls, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and flooring. There were “prominent deficiencies” with the flooring and sub-flooring, with soft spots in the dining area, kitchen and bathrooms, according to his report.

However, the report states, “the overall integrity of the building was good with the only noted deficiencies being the floor system along with minor electrical and exterior siding corrections being needed.”

Still, Cameron said in a county government news release June

14, “We must be careful not to guarantee that the building will meet expectations. Although the areas we inspected are very encouraging, there may be issues in other areas not uncovered.”

At this point, the county estimates that 970 feet of flooring and sub flooring need replacement or repair, along with the restaurant’s restrooms, at a cost of $46,000. In addition, 1,200 square feet of OSB siding needs replacement, at a cost of $4,800.

Some electrical issues also need fixing, for about $200.

The business would need to shut down for about four weeks for repairs to be completed, according to the report.

City hires new development and innovation officers Former Palm Coast City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo joins the city in a new role. Donald Kewley is CIO. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The city government has hired a former Palm Coast city councilman — Jason DeLorenzo, who was elected in 2011 and served until 2016 — as its first chief development officer. That’s a new position. DeLorenzo was formerly the government affairs director for the Flagler Homebuilders Association.

DeLorenzo “will be tasked with rebranding our building and permitting services, along with reworking our processes and our approach to engaging citizens and customers,” according to a Palm Coast government news release.

“Jason not only brings the skills and ability to guide us through the challenges of today, but the vision and positive attitude to help us close the gaps of tomorrow,” City Manager Matthew Morton said in the news release.

Ray Tyner, the city’s planning manager and a 17-year employee of the city government, is being assigned to the new position of deputy chief development officer.

“Ray has made great contributions to the city and is ready for the new challenge of an expanded

role that is both tactically focused and aligns with his passion for organizational improvement and public service,” Morton said in the news release. “I believe this leadership team will help move the Community Development Department to the next level and help our customers see us truly as partners.”

The city of Palm Coast has also hired a new chief innovation officer: Donald Kewley, the operations manager for the city of Ashland, Oregon, and former Pacific Gas and Electric senior project manager who applied for the city’s city manager position last year.

Kewley was hired by Morton, who beat him in the application for the city manager position. But multiple City Council members, after Morton’s hiring, had stated that they would be interested in bringing on Kewley in some capacity as well. The chief innovation officer position is a new one, so Kewley is not displacing any current city staff members.

The hirings come amid a series of departures at the city’s director and manager levels.

Four city directors or managers have resigned in recent

“Jason not only brings the skills and ability to guide us through the challenges of today, but the vision and positive attitude to help us close the gaps of tomorrow.”

weeks: Information Technology Director Chuck Burkhart, Parks and Recreation Director Alex Boyer, Human Resources Director Wendy Cullen and Communications and Marketing Manager Cindi Lane. (In addition, city Public Works Manager Renee Shevlin recently retired.)

Most resigned without submitting a formal resignation letter.

Lane wrote one and addressed it to Beau Falgout, who had been the interim city manager before Morton was hired, and who’d been assistant city manager under

former City Manager Jim Landon.

Morton has promoted city employee Doug Akins to the IT director position and Debbie Streichsbier to the HR director position. He appointed Lauren Johnston as interim director of Parks and Recreation and Jason Giraulo as interim Communications and Marketing manager.

Morton addressed the changes in a draft “60 Day Report to Council.”

The report contains a section listing activities/accomplishments in organizational struc-

ture, including the following: “Evaluating Roles – Roles Must Serve the City- I have been looking at leadership roles to ensure the roles are serving the city and not the individual. This is always a good, albeit difficult process, but I believe my objectivity coming in the door with a fresh perspective and without long standing relationships aides in a systematic, clear and productive result.”

Of the new CDO position, Morton wrote, “The Chief Development Officer position is being recruited (formerly the Community Development Director).

The name was changed to reflect a new core-cultural philosophy and encourage non-traditional candidates to apply. In general I like to hire for character and train for skill, especially in business areas where our technical competence and regulatory frameworks are strong.”

meetings,” volunteer Sims Jones said. “You come to the meeting and you get up and speak during public comments. They can’t ignore you then.”

The Sheltering Tree had initially applied for a special exception to allow the shelter to operate. It has been open every night that the temperature reaches 40 degrees or below. The shelter was open for 19 nights last year. Sheltering Tree leaders said they had believed that the church secured the city’s permission to operate, but they had not.

The city’s new community development director, Rodney Lucas, cited the church’s code deficiencies — non-compliant fire-suppression systems, bathrooms that are non-compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Sheltering Tree’s lack of a permit — as reasons for the closure.

However, James Bellino, pastor of the Church on the Rock, on U.S. 1, said there are ways to work around the system.

“We have to come together,” he said. “I’m not going to cow down to government regulations that say we what we can and can’t do. ... We have a responsibility to help those who are hurting.”

In the meantime, the church, the shelter and its leaders are going to prepare to appeal to the city government.

“There’s a fight ahead,” Bickings said. “[But] we’re going to be respectful. We’re still moving forward. If we don’t do this, who will?”

After the city of Bunnell’s Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board voted 3-0 to end Bunnell’s First United Methodist Church’s hosting of the cold weather shelter for the homeless, the church and its supporters are fighting back.

About 80 proponents of the shelter, an operation run by the nonprofit Sheltering Tree for the past 11 years, gathered at the church on the afternoon of Monday, June 17, to listen to ideas and plan a strategy on how they’re going to reverse the city’s decision.

Sue Bickings, chairman of The Sheltering Tree’s board, led the discussion and spent the majority of the meeting jotting down ideas on broad sheets of paper.

Some of the ideas introduced included starting a petition, putting economic pressure on local businesses, reaching out to the area’s other churches for support, changing Bunnell residents’ perceptions of the homeless, and more.

From ‘Doomsday Castle’ to dream restaurant

THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2019

|

“You’re successful because of passion, [and] you’ve got to believe it. No matter what anyone says.”

Brent Bruns’ vision is a destination restaurant named The Shape of Water, with streams and waterfalls.

DOMINIC-MADORI DAVIS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

State Road A1A in The Hammock could soon be home to one of the most innovative restaurants in Flagler County and beyond. The restaurant, which will be known as The Shape of Water: The Restaurant, is under construction by a former TV reality show star — Brent Bruns, of “Doomsday Castle” fame — and is set to open by late 2020.

“I want to show you something you’ve never seen before,” Bruns said of the restaurant, in a walking tour of the property.

The restaurant’s name takes inspiration from the 2017 Academy Award-winning film and will offer a luxury dining experience. Bruns’ architectural designs are intricate; he wants to build a restaurant as whimsical as it is elegant. Diners will be surrounded by water structures, including rivers, a cave, waterfalls and a floating mountain. So far, the rivers are formed and a faux bois bridge is complete. Other structures are not yet started or are still being formed on chicken wire.

He’s doing most of the construction work himself, he said.

The restaurant will have room to seat 40 people outside, all by reservation, with hopes to expand

to 40 seats inside as well. There will even be an upstairs area perfect for marriage proposals, and foliage installed around the property to ensure privacy, he said.

He plans on it being a destination restaurant, drawing diners from surrounding counties.

“Everybody I talk to tells me I’m going to fail in the restaurant business,” he said. “But I think ... sometimes people make it hard on themselves.”

Bruns has a degree in aeronautical engineering, and work experience as a structural engineer.

Most of his career has been spent in high-end real estate, and he spent some time living in South Carolina.

From 1974 to 1996, Bruns led the largest screen printing operation in the South, printing 25,000 garments a day, he said; he also spent a few years in textile machinery. He went to saki school to learn how to make saki, he went to acupuncture school to learn acupuncture, and even had a stint on the cult television show “Doomsday Castle,” currently available to rent on Amazon and iTunes.

But he’s never run a restaurant.

“Every business that I started — I didn’t know anything about it either,” he said. “It’s more about passion and my feeling. You can

learn it, or you can find people, but I can’t find somebody to do what’s in my head, so I go home at night and like, three or five in the morning, I’m sitting here trying to design how this thing will work structurally and do it.”

Bruns is working with artist Jennifer Butler to create some of the key architectural elements of the restaurant, including the faux bois bridges.

“When we came here, this whole place was overgrown,” she said. “We had to disassemble all of that, cut everything out, just starting from bare nothing.”

Butler is Bruns’ hairdresser and met him after he helped her design her home hair salon. He initially brought Butler on to help design the garden area, but her role quickly expanded. Now, she serves as creative director for the entire project.

“I’ve just always been inter-

ested in art and building,” she said. “Sometimes I feel like I don’t really paint, like I just lend my hands, because even I’m surprised sometimes when I’m finished.”

For Bruns, the next step will be looking for investors, and then a chef.

But right now, he is gathering his permits, making sure his site map is up to county code, and all his variances are in accordance with state and city regulations.

That, and trying to compromise with the neighbors who are less than pleased that he is trying to build a waterfall and luxury restaurant in their backyard.

In the end, Bruns is hopeful it will all work out.

“You’re successful because of passion, [and] you’ve got to believe it,” he said. “No matter what anyone says.”

PALM COAST

Dear Editor: I have been living in the F-section of Palm Coast for seven years, and Florida Park Drive has been an issue for a few of its residents the entire time. Let me start by stating the obvious: Those residents purchased homes on a road that was clearly designed 40-50 years ago by ITT as a thoroughfare. It was not designed as a side street.

All it would take is one drive down the street to realize that.

Side streets don’t have lines painted on them. They should have asked themselves, How busy is this road and how busy will it get?

The houses on Florida Park are lower priced than similar homes a block or two away.

Why? Because Florida Park is a thoroughfare. The people complaining today presumably benefited from a lower house cost when they purchased. The people complaining should understand they made the choice to live there. It may have been a bad choice, but it was their choice.

Expecting the rest of us to find a fix for their bad decision is unreasonable. It is a shame our elected officials are unwilling to tell those residents the same thing.

With all that said, if the city feels compelled to do something, I offer these two options, one at minimal cost to the city and one at significant cost.

A number of the homes on Florida Park have circular driveways, and several of those were added in the past year.

The city could offer Florida Park residents a one-time opportunity to sign up, with a cash deposit to be part of a group contract for circular driveways. If enough sign up, the city could assist in a large group contract that would presumably save meaningful money per residence. The residents would pay for their own driveways. This would at least resolve the issue of backing out onto Florida Park.

The other alternative is long-term and expensive, but it would resolve the issue for good. The city would begin a multiyear program to buy the homes on one side of Florida Park, starting at the Holland Park end and working north.

Perhaps seven to 10 houses a year. I count about 67 homes plus a few lots. The houses

would be removed and the road redesigned and relocated 20-30 feet towards the side where houses were removed.

There would be plenty of room on both sides of the road for trees and bushes to provide residents with a visual and sound buffer. It does not need to be widened to four lanes.

There is not enough traffic to justify it.

I want to be clear: I am not advocating the city do anything. I can’t come or go to my house without using Florida Park Drive. It is not overloaded with traffic, and it works just fine the way it is. The unhappy group that lives on Florida Park should think long and hard about the choice to they made to reside there.

ALAN HENDRY Palm Coast

Give speeding tickets on Florida Park Drive Dear Editor: I can’t believe all the crazy expensive ideas for traffic control on Florida Park Drive.

What happened to common sense? All it needs is regular speed limit enforcement, which doesn’t exist at all right now. Once people start paying $206 speed tickets with three points on their license, they will either slow down or start using Palm Harbor Parkway or Old Kings Road.

BILL SIMPSON Palm Coast

Consider Florida Park Drive residents Dear Editor: Residents who live on Florida Park Drive since before the city was formed would like a healthy neighborhood like all residents; it was healthy before 2000.

The city made Florida Park Drive a thoroughfare by failing to control the traffic as far back in 2003 when they acknowledged the traffic heavy.

Now we have drivers that are upset because Florida Park Drive residents don’t won’t 8,300 car per day and 560 trucks per day dumping their toxic poisonous fumes in their neighborhood along with the traffic dust and noise.

Convenience for drivers is their right as they see it, and they don’t care about the

health of residents on Florida Park Drive; how many children are harmed is not their concern.

As long as they can drive through and dump their traffic fumes/dust/noise in NotTheir-Neighborhood, they are happy.

STEVEN CARR Palm Coast

Keeping current site at Bings is a win-win Dear Editor: Fortunately, Flagler County’s new administration had the wherewithal to delay the Bings/Captain’s vote pending further investigation.

It appears that the inspection for Bings found that the current building value to repair cost ratio is well within the 50% OK range.

Keeping the current building seems to be a win-win for everyone; no trees cut, no favorite pavilion destroyed, etc.

This is about what fits for the park with its sensitive ecology, extensive history and archeology and should therefore not be decided because of the popularity of the owners or the restaurant.

We are so fortunate that those who came before us had enough foresight to realize and preserve this true treasure so many people enjoy.

I’m hoping our county leaders always realize Bings’ value and will work to preserve it for the future.

Captain’s would be better in new location Dear Editor: Personally, I am tired of all the news about Captain’s BBQ and what was obviously an illegal authorization to operate in a public park. Give them the $15,000 and then give them the boot! I would much rather enjoy their delicious ribs in another location — one in a more central location in Palm Coast.

RICHARD SCHAEFER Palm Coast

Let the lease run out on Captain’s BBQ Dear Editor: I would like to thank Mr. Craig Coffey for the mess he has left us in Flagler County!

Now his love for barbecue has turned into a lawsuit that will cost taxpayers a bunch of money. That building at Bings Landing is in bad shape and not up to code. Let Chris Herrera and Mike Goodman sue, and when the lease runs out, throw them out! Let them pay rent like any other restaurant in town. What is so special about these two gentlemen who think they are entitled to all this for free?

Mr Coffey, your gifts to us taxpayers continue to grow.

DENNIS C. RATHSAM Palm Coast

Flagler REC still among best in state Dear Editor: My and Joanne’s heartfelt thanks to all those sharing our grief while overwhelmingly supporting us politically. Our Flagler Republican Executive Committee is high among the strongest, largest, most-welcoming “big-tent” best-performing Republican organizations in Florida.

Unfortunately, at times, we attract some poorly intentioned political opportunists who would ride our hard-won position (while co-opting Donald Trump in their names) for their own selfish ends regardless of effect on party or the harm inflicted on individuals who might refuse to go along with them.

Asking all of our Flagler Republican Precinct Committeewomen and Committeemen to attend a June 24 special meeting to get all of us past this kerfuffle. Our mission is to re-elect Donald Trump and every primary election Republican winner. Fortunately, none of this will slow us down in aggressively executing our programs to do just that: We will be on-time, on-track and will win big here in 2020.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

When I get home from work every day, my 4-year-old daughter, Kennedy, usually runs up to me with a big smile on her face and says, “Do you know why I have shoes on?” She holds up her pink-shoed foot and answers her own question with gusto: “Because I want to go on a walk!”

I started this tradition months ago — when it was nice and cool in the evenings. Now, it’s so hot that I start to sweat just thinking about it.

I tell her that I need to sit down for a few minutes and relax first.

(Maybe she’ll forget all about it.)

“OK, Dad, are you ready to go?” Kennedy says about 90 seconds later, now wearing a pair of purple, miniature binoculars.

She’s also holding my sketch book and pen so we can draw pictures “in the wild.”

Hard to say no to that.

Just in case they have a change of heart from the past few dozen times they’ve declined, I invite my four other children to come with us. They either ignore me, or they raise an eyebrow as if to say, “Good one, Dad.” Kennedy gives one more appeal to her 15-year-old brother. She says, “Jackson, you

need to come. You need to get exercise.”

But only one child is willing, and that’s Luke. He’s 1 year old and can’t complain about what he doesn’t understand. Into the stroller he goes.

And out we go, into the stifling dusk that could otherwise be known as the mosquitoes’ playground.

We walk a few hundred feet, and I realize that, after going for so many walks, we know the names of just about all our neighbors for several houses in both directions. That doesn’t sound all that impressive, but for 2019, I think it’s rare. One of our neighbors has lived in the same house for about seven years, and we might have gone another seven without meeting her, if it hadn’t been for Kennedy.

We have gotten to know others, too: Kennedy points out the flea bane, the white clover, the golden tickseed — wildflowers we have identified together.

We stop and watch dragonflies, squirrels and crows, and she jumps into my arms out of fear of red ant piles.

On the way home, we pick up the pace to avoid the mosquitoes, and the breeze feels gentle and cool. I turn to Kennedy and say, “You know, this isn’t so bad, out here, is it?” She grins.

When we get home, I feel less irritable, more eager to help straighten up the house, more grateful for my life, and I’m so glad I walked with Kennedy rather than wasting those past 20 minutes in the air conditioning.

Stolen mail truck chased down on I-95 Vehicle twice aimed at deputies, FCSO says.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies chased down a man driving a stolen mail truck on Interstate 95 in Flagler County, catching him after he lost control of the vehicle.

The A&E Network show “Live PD” featured the catch as its “crime of the week” during a recent episode, and the FCSO embedded a clip of that portion of the “Live PD” episode in a post on its official Facebook page June 13.

Deputies had been alerted at about 4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 8, that a man who’d threatened a postal worker with pepper spray and taken her vehicle was driving north on I-95 into Flagler County in the stolen truck.

They found the truck, which was driving recklessly, and took over the pursuit, according to an FCSO news release.

A deputy began deploying Stop Sticks to try to slow the truck, but the driver swerved and drove directly toward the deputy, who was able to get out of the way by ducking behind a guard rail. The driver’s rear tire hit the Stop Sticks.

Then driver then swerved to the other side of the road, apparently trying to hit another deputy. The driver oversteered, and the truck veered off the road, missing the deputy and striking a guard rail at mile marker 280, then overturned.

Body camera footage, courtesy of the FCSO

Deputies pull suspect Jesse Estep from the stolen mail truck.

When deputies from Volusia and Flagler pulled the driver out of the truck, he stank of pepper spray and had lacerations on his left arm and right palm, according to an FCSO charging affidavit. They identified him as Jesse Estep, 29.

As deputies handcuffed him, he told a deputy that he’d been trying to kill himself.

“I f---ed up, sir,” he said, then added, “Thank you all for not shooting me. Thank you all for not killing me.”

“We’re not here to hurt you,” a deputy replied.

When a deputy asked him if he was taking any drugs, he said, “Methamphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, Molly, pills ... I’m sorry man, please don’t hurt me.”

He said he’d taken the drugs in an attempt to end his life.

Deputies arrested him and took him to AdventHealth Palm Coast.

Estep has been arrested multiple times in Flagler and Volusia.

“This is another great example

of our agencies working together,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the news release. “The suspect immediately told deputies that he was high on meth and cocaine.

It is a miracle that no deputies, police officers, or other travelers on the roadway were hurt during the reckless driving of this suspect. I’m especially grateful that his efforts to injure my deputies failed. Criminals need to learn that if you commit crimes in Flagler County you will end up in the Green Roof Inn where you belong.”

Estep is charged in Flagler County with grand theft auto, aggravated fleeing and eluding, and two counts aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, according to the news release. He also faces charges in Volusia County. He may also face federal charges for theft of the U.S. Postal Service truck.

The mail truck, which had mail in it during the chase, has been returned to the Postal Service.

BRIEFS Medical issue leads to fatal crash A man died the night of Saturday, June 15, after a medical issue caused him to lose control of his vehicle, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.

George Serafino, 76, of Palm Coast, was driving east on SR 100 when he lost control of his 2017 Nissan Rogue. He veered onto the right shoulder of the road, striking a concrete light pole, coming to rest in front of the Flagler Dodge Dealership at around 7:15 p.m.

George Serafino and passenger Anita Serafino, 85, also of Palm Coast, were taken the AdventHealth Hospital, where George Serafino was pronounced dead.

Anita Serafino had minor injuries.

Men arrested for domestic violence on Father’s Day Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to multiple domestic violence calls on Father’s Day, June 16. Two of the more violent incidents took place in the evening.

At 6 p.m., a woman called and said her boyfriend, 26-year-old Joel Jakub, had punched her in the face and stomach, leaving her nearly unconscious in their van.

The previous day, she said, they’d been in an argument over a planned drive from Georgia to Florida, and she’d told him she no longer wanted to go. But he repeatedly forced her into the van when she tried to leave. She escaped and called the FCSO when

the van became disabled.

Deputies, with help from Volusia’s AirOne emergency helicopter and the FCSO K-9 Unit, searched the wooded area near the van, found Jakub, and took him to AdventHealth Palm Coast to get medical attention for a dog bite to the shoulder. Then they took him to jail.

Later that evening, dispatch received a call in which no one identified themselves, but dispatchers could hear a man and a woman yelling and the woman saying, “Stop!” Dispatchers traced the call to a Ferdinand Drive home.

When deputies arrived, they saw 27-year-old Dean Irwin trying to force a woman into a vehicle.

The woman told deputies that Irwin had grabbed her phone and thrown it against the ground, breaking it. He’d then thrown her to the ground. When she ran, he hit her. When she locked herself inside a bedroom to call 911, he broke through the door. She broke away and locked herself inside another bedroom, and he again broke down the door and attacked her, possibly breaking her finger in the process, climbing on top of her, biting her and choking her. He’d then grabbed her by her hair and injured finger, demanding that she drive him home before deputies arrived.

Deputies arrested him.

“If you are in an abusive relationship or are the victim of domestic violence, do not wait,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Call us now and let us help you. It could mean the difference between life and death.”

NEWS EDITOR

There were signs that something was wrong when a local man and woman went to check on their adult daughter’s home before she returned from Christmas vacation in 2017. There was a strange charring around the front doorknob, and the key wouldn’t turn normally. Something seemed to be wedged behind the door. A

window of the home had been marked with what looked like lipstick: Someone had written the word “Hi” beneath a drawing of two eyes. Then there were the odd statements that the daughter had told them her estranged husband, Michael Scott Wilson, had made to her before she began her drive home to Palm Coast from vacation in Kentucky.

Trial begins in attempted murder case

310136-1

“He told her when she went home, to make sure to use the front door, but to not do it with (the couple’s daughter) because he didn’t want (the daughter) to get hurt,” Assistant State Attorney Melissa Clark explained in court June 15.

It was that statement, and others like it, that Wilson made while traveling with the victim that prompted the victim to call her parents as she made the drive home. They offered to check the house. The blackening around the knob prompted them to call the Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy arrived and mulekicked the door twice, opening it.

“When I did that (kicked it), there was a bright flash and a popping sound,” Deputy Greg Weston told the jury.

He could see wires and what looked like a battery: the home was booby-trapped, and the door rigged such that if someone placed a key in the lock and grabbed the door knob at the same time, they would be closing a circuit, and the current would flow from one hand through the chest and past the heart and then out the other arm, according to Wilson’s arrest report.

The electricity was enough to potentially kill someone, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Weston and other deputies that checked the house found that the wires led to an automotive battery charger and wiring that had been pulled from a salt rock lamp in the home.

When deputies later spoke with the wife, she told them that

Deputy Omar Ocampo holds up part of the device found inside the home.

Wilson had fallen to the ground during a medical episode several months before, and that his behavior since then had changed.

He’d been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility under a Baker Act, received a diagnosis, moved out of the area and hadn’t — as far as she knew — been back to their home since.

But while he was gone, ostensibly out of the state, she got alerts from her surveillance camera system notifying her that the cameras were being taken offline.

And when he met up with her in Tennessee for a vacation to see family members, he made comments indicating he’d been to the house: He asked her about the cameras and about a gun she was

keeping in the house, neither of which she’d told him about.

But Wilson is arguing that the trap wasn’t made for his estranged ex-wife — even though, according to the prosecution, he’d laid out his wife’s sonogram photos on the home’s counter (she was pregnant with their second child) and, on a bed, had set out “‘love letter’ style sticky notes” and a photo album opened to a picture of him and his wife together, according to his arrest affidavit.

By the time Wilson was arrested in connection with the crime, he’d changed his Facebook relationship status to “widowed,” according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office report.

Wilson’s public defender, Regi-

na Nunnally, told the jury that he had gone to the house after he’d moved out, and had noticed that it had surveillance cameras, and that there was a firearm in a cabinet above the stove.

But when he’d asked his wife about those things, she’d been evasive, Nunnally said.

“And at that point, Mr. Wilson panicked; he just sees this stuff sitting there — what is this stuff for?” Nunnally said. “So he does put a trickle wire, and he does put up a barricade.”

Nunnally told the jury that the prosecution and defense disagree on what Wilson told the victim about the front door: The prosecution is saying that he’d told

her to use it. The defense is alleging that he’d told her not to use it, and to instead enter the house through the garage, and that he’d asked his father-in-law to take the device down.

“Bottom line is this, he never one time threatened (the victim’s) life,” Nunnally said. “(The device) wasn’t intended for (the victim). ... It was never intended for (the victim), it was never intended to harm her, it was never intended to hurt anyone, or kill anyone.”

The trial is expected to end on Thursday, June 20 or Friday, June 21.

How Flagler can win the ‘drug war’ Counseling clinic could help with prevention and intervention in opioid crisis, Charles Silano says.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

If someone overdoses in Flagler County, he or she is taken to a hospital, treated and then released back onto the street with no counseling. But counties in other states are opening clinics to talk to addicts after care to introduce them to the concept of recovery, according to Charles Silano, pastor of Grace Tabernacle Ministries and the leader of the Flagler County Opioid Task Force.

Silano updated the Public Safety Coordinating Council on June 12, at the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center, on progress and goals of the task force, which was formed a little over a year ago.

Silano said he hopes to model the task force after Georgia’s by having a specific description of what it is Flagler’s task force does and what resources are available to the community. He wants to promote more prevention (which ties into educating the community) and intervention.

“We’re ahead of some counties, but we’re behind others, as well,” Silano said.

An opioid counseling clinic for those immediately after an overdose is a good start.

“That’s a perfect time for us to be able to talk to that person for a couple of hours,” Silano said.

In the long term, the county needs infrastructure, like a detox

center.

“Unless we address it here at a local level, drugs will always be coming,” Silano said. “We’re the ones who have to care. We’re the ones who have to educate. This is a drug war.”

NEW SYSTEM FOR HOMELESS

Flagler County needs an expansive and complete coordinated entry system, Flagler Cares Executive Director Carrie Baird said in her update on the work of the Flagler County Housing and Homelessness Task Force.

“Coordinated entry is really the only way that individuals experiencing homelessness can access state and federal funding for services and resources,” she said.

It’s a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to have one.

The county’s is fairly new but not as expansive as it needs to be. Instead of being used by only

people whose job is to reach out to homeless people, it should encompass other areas of the community, including hospitals, jails, clinics, the Department of Health, churches and more.

“Anyone who could potentially serve an individual who is experiencing homelessness so that we can, as quickly as possible, assess them, get them into the data system, prioritize them based on their needs and then get them to services,” Baird said.

MENTAL HEALTH AND SUICIDE

Jill Crawford, a mental health advocate and former patient of the Flagler Mental Health Center, advised that the county needs to legislate a way for those in mental health crises to seek “fast, medical, medicinal mental health treatment.”

Flagler County had the highest suicide rate per capita of any county in the state of Florida in 2017, and has been among the highest in the state for years.

Meanwhile, it has consistently ranked near the bottom statewide in terms of availability of mental healthcare providers, particularly for patients on Medicaid.

“The needs of the people are not being met,” she said.

Sue Urban, whose son died by suicide in 2018, spoke during public comments.

“We’re not getting enough resources here in Flagler County,” she said. “We need to do something now. We need to work harder so people know what’s going on.”

Free political leadership program The Flagler Volusia Public Leadership Institute, a joint program of the Daytona Regional Chamber and the Flagler Chamber, is seeking applicants for a nonpartisan, free training program to teach local business-minded leaders strategies on how to engage in the policy and political process.

The FVPLI, which has had success training aspiring candidates who became elected leaders, is expanding its curriculum beyond candidacy to teach participants how to use their business experience, skills and talent to advocate for pro-business policies, engage in political campaigns, land appointments to influential government boards and commissions or explore a future run for elected office.

Robotic-guided dental surgery Robotic-guided dental surgery is now in Flagler County. Yomi brings a new level of care for dental implants to Florida Oral and Facial Surgical Associates.

Yomi is the first and only FDAcleared, robot-assisted dental surgery system in the country, according to a press release. It allows oral maxillofacial surgeons to plan the implant surgery virtually using a CT scan of the patient to create a 3D image. The computerized navigational system then gives dental surgeons realtime visual and audio feedback during surgery.

Bill Lyon: Flagler County Rotarian of the Year Maralee Walsh-McDaniel is the new president.

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

The past 12 months was the year to “Be the Inspiration” for the 81 active members of the Rotary Club of Flagler County. With President Cindy Kiel Evans at the helm, the club donated about $47,000 locally through service projects and $2,200 to the Rotary International Foundation. The figures were announced to a ballroom full of Rotarians at the annual instal-

lation dinner on Tuesday, June 18.

Among the club’s merits of the

year were $12,000 in scholarships to six Flagler Palm Coast High School students, and the club was in the top 10 out of over 60 clubs in the county in terms of community financial givings.

Hardware was awarded to Rotarians who donated generously, as well as those who gave “110% effort,” Evans said.

On her last night as president of the club, Evans named past club President Bill Lyon as the Rotarian of the Year. Lyon became involved in the Rotary Club of Daytona Beach in 1976 and has demonstrated the club’s motto “service about self” ever since.

“Rotary, to me, means a lot,” Lyon said. “As my wife can tell you, we spend hours and hours and hours, weeks, for pretty much every year, in Rotary. I think community service is a great way to have friends that work together and get a chance to work with people.”

Casey Ryan was named membership champion; she helped eight new members join this year.

First-year member Jearlyn Dennie was named the Rookie Rotarian of the Year, as she never said no to anything Evans needed or to ever helping a fellow Rotarian.

For the first time, a President’s

Bill Lyon

Inspiration Award was presented.

Jim Callender, a past president of the club over 19 years ago, was the recipient. Callender, 85, has been a Flagler County Rotarian for 25 years and can still be spotted picking up trash during cleanups or leading a helping hand at countless events each year.

Maralee Walsh-McDaniel was installed as the new president of the club, vowing to grow the club and implement the new International theme for the year: “Rotary Connects the World.”

Palm Coast Little League’s 10-and-under all-star team tasted defeat in the opening game of postseason play, losing to DeLand 9-7 on the afternoon of Sunday, June 16, in DeLand.

“We did a lot of great things,” Palm Coast head coach Doug Berryhill said. “But we also did a lot of things that weren’t very good.”

As a result of Sunday’s loss, Palm Coast was tasked with facing Deltona on the afternoon of Monday, June 17 — this time at the Indian Trails Sports Complex in Palm Coast.

Palm Coast got off to a hot start, eventually run-ruling Deltona 22-3 in the fourth inning.

“We learned not to make the same mistakes over and over again,” Palm Coast’s Keanin Striplin said. “Each game we’re getting better and better.”

The boys showed poise both at the plate and on defense.

P.J. Trettner, who was moved from the No. 3 spot to the leadoff spot, went 4-for-4 from the plate and had 8 RBIs. Elijah Avila made several great defensive plays. And pitcher Dylan Vanderbur struck out two batters, did not give up a walk and surrendered only one run in three innings of work — he also threw under 35 pitches.

“Dylan was just fantastic,” Berryhill said.

Palm Coast scored six runs in the top of the fourth inning before Deltona got a chance to hit.

Deltona tacked on two more runs and almost scored a third, but the runner shoved Vanderbur, who was playing catcher at the time, on his way to home plate and was called out.

Avila helped record the second out when he scooped up a ground ball and tossed into to Justin

Nick Pandich runs for third.

And despite the large margin of victory, Berryhill doesn’t see Monday’s bounce-back win as a confidence booster.

“I think confidence will come during the game,” he said. “If we get off to a good start, if we make the plays, if we play good defense, I think we’ll gain confidence as time goes by.”

Confidence booster Flagler Bombers 10U team learns to play together RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Many of the players on the Flagler Bombers’ 10-and-under baseball team remember the struggles they faced last season. It was their first tournament together, and they were getting blown out every game.

This year, the Bombers practiced for a month leading up to the Babe Ruth League’s All-Star tournament. The No. 8 seed Bombers faced the No. 1 seed in their district, the New Smyrna Beach Barracudas, on June 12, at the baseball fields of Chase Park in Sanford.

The Bombers had their opportunities to upset the district’s top team.

Bombers second baseman Karter Sosa helped his team record six outs and reached base three times, scoring twice. Pitcher Dax Stream “kept us in the game,” according to Bombers head coach Kevin Sosa. And late in the fifth inning, Colin Craig drilled an RBI double that was about 10 feet from clearing the left field wall.

The Bombers lost 11-4, but the coaching staff was still proud of how the team performed.

“They played with heart, they showed character and they showed that they’re not going to quit,” Kevin Sosa said. “I think this is a confidence booster for them. They were keeping each other up. No matter what the scoreboard said, they were never out of it. I’m proud of them.”

Q+A with Matanzas AD Zach Rigney:

Zach Rigney is the athletics director at Matanzas High School — a position he’s served in since August 2017. He recently spoke with the Palm Coast Observer about the athletic success the school experienced during the 2018-19 school year and what’s to come for the Pirates’ athletic programs. Here’s what he had to say: How do you think you’ll look back on your school’s athletic performance during the 201819 school year?

We did very well athletically. We had over 10 student-athletes sign to go on to play at the next level. We had some really exciting moments here in the gym against Flagler Palm Coast. Our softball team won its first-ever district title. Our wrestling team was the first Flagler County team to advance to state duals, and they also won the district.

Overall, a very good season.

I remember the first time I interviewed you when you got the job here at Matanzas, you talked about all the projects you wanted to work on here.

You recently installed a new lighting system in the gym.

How did the students react to the gym’s new lights?

They thought that we had repainted the gym, honestly.

The kids are really enjoying the effort that we’re putting in to trying to make our facilities the best they can be.

You’ve now been at Matanzas for two years. Is there anything you want to do differently about your job entering Year 3?

Year 1 was kind of evaluating and seeing what the needs

were, Year 2 was filling those needs and Year 3, I think, is just implementation. People come onto our campus, they see our graphics, they see our lights, they see the new mats, the new scoreboards. As far as facilities go, I feel really comfortable with where we’re at. Again, it’s just staying with that theme of being competitive and being elite.

What other projects can we expect to see in the future?

Obviously, the new lights were a big priority. Now that we’ve got that, new wrestling mats are our next priority. That’s going to be really exciting. It’s going to look really good with the lights in here. That’s kind of where we’re at for the rest of the offseason.

What does that mean for the school?

We’re really fortunate to be in a position to where we could put new lighting in the gym.

The lighting meets NCAA standards, so if we were ever in position to host an NCAA event, we could do so. It’s just really changed the outlook of the gym. It looks professional.

That’s our target every time we start a project. We want things to look elite, and that’s kind of the direction we went in with this lighting project. It’ll pay itself back in two years. It’s going to save us money in the long run as far as energy costs go.

So not only does it look great, it saves the county and ourselves money, as well.

AACS cultural committee chairwoman Brenda Andrews, the program leader, waters a plant during the libation, which is where those present honored their ancestors by calling out their names one by one.

The African American Cultural Center was packed to the brim with people of all ages — from kids to elders in their 90s — as locals celebrated Juneteenth, the official holiday of the end of slavery. Known as Freedom Day, June 19, 1865, was the day the the abolition of slavery was announced in Texas.

“We have a mission to share our rich cultural heritage,” said Edmund Pinto, chairman of the African American Cultural Society Board of Directors.

For over 25 years, the AACS has shared that heritage with the next generation in Palm Coast, two of whom were awarded scholarships from the AACS Youth RealityProgram at the Juneteenth event on Saturday, June 15.

AACS President Joseph Matthews welcomed guests to mingle and peruse the resource booths and merchant tables that lined the room. The Negro National Anthem was sung loud and proud by those in attendance.

Imani Kinshasa led the libation and read inspirational poems to the audience. Palm Coast City Councilman Eddie Branquino read a proclamation from the mayor’s office. Giovanni Sylvain and Demetrius Headly performed

Emma Reiter, Angelina Skeie, Molly Maresca and Claire Collins pose with Palm Coast Observer and Ormond Beach Observer newspapers. The performers used the newspapers as props for a dance number.

GETCHA PAPER HERE! On Saturday, June 15, Flagler School of Dance performers danced through time — from the beginning of time with a “Creation” production to the end of time with a futuristic “out-of-this-world” piece. The spring recital was held at the Flagler Auditorium at 1 p.m. at 6 p.m.

The recital theme this year was “Circa,” a dance production through time.

Tap students performed a 1940s-inspired dance titled “Paperboys” while using Palm Coast Observer and Ormond Beach Observer newspapers as props.

Summer classes with Flagler School of Dance begin Tuesday, July 9, and will run for four weeks. Registration must be done in person at

the dance studio, located in Marvin’s Garden Business Complex, 4601 E. Moody Blvd. Suite I6, Bunnell.

Call 437-2067 or email flaglerschoolofdance@aol. com.

Visit https:// flaglerauditorium.org for details on future shows at the auditorium.

Palm Coast resident Harold Albrecht, known as “Hap,” recently celebrated his 100th birthday. Hap was drafted into the U.S. Army on June 10, 1944. He served in the Army 30th Division overseas during World War II and was wounded Feb. 23, 1945, while crossing the Ruhr River in Germany. He was awarded a Purple Heart and was discharged in 1946.

Hap was born June 13, 1919, in Stratford, Connecticut. He is the youngest of six children.

His after-school job during high school was working in a local garage as an auto mechanic; that knowledge and skill always came in handy in later years.

After graduation, Hap took a job at a factory in Bridgeport, Connecticut — where he met his future wife in 1939. He and Norma “Norm” Massey were married in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on June 28, 1941, and began a 70-year marriage. They lived most of their married life in Stratford where they raised two daughters, Norma “Normi” Ellen and Lynn Ruth.

Hap Albrecht celebrates his 100th birthday.

Hap went to work at Lacey’s Tool and Die shop in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1940 and functioned in that role for that rest of his working life, in between serving in the military. He also spent years bonding with his grandson, Chris.

In 1994, Hap, Norm and Lynn moved to Palm Coast. Hap is still here in Palm Coast, now celebrating a century of life.

Norma Ellen Gerwig is the daughter of Harold Albrecht.

See what ‘Inspired!’ the artists at Flagler County Art League

FCAL WINNERS BEST OF SHOW #36 “As Things Began”

acrylic by Beverley Ulrich

ANN DELUCIA GUEST WRITER

Photo courtesy of FCAL

Beverley Ulrich earned Best of Show with “As Things Began.”

FIRST OF SHOW #35 “Conflagration 9/11”

The recent Flagler County Art League “Inspired!” show required artists to reveal what inspired them to create the work of art they submitted.

Many stories were coupled with works of art, such as Beverley Ulrich’s riot of color in “As Things Began” — her abstract Best of Show — an expression of life beginning on Earth.

Bob Teller’s striking First of Show, “Conflagration 9/11” was inspired by the artist’s recent visit to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. The piece “captured the emotion and realism of the moment,” according to the judge.

The show will be on display until July 9. The FCAL Gallery is at City Marketplace, 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite A208. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Ann DeLucia is FCAL president.
