Flagler Superintendent Tager to retire at end of contract James Tager, entering his 38th year in education, will retire after his contract ends June 30, 2020.

JASON WHEELER FLAGLER SCHOOLS COMMUNITY INFORMATION

Superintendent James Tager has informed the members of the Flagler County School Board of his intention to retire at the end of his contract, June 30, 2020.

Tager delivered a letter to the members of the School Board and his executive leadership team on Friday, July 12, to announce the retirement plans.

“I am beginning my 38th year in education and my goal is to make sure this 38th year is the best of my career,” Tager said in the press release. “I cannot tell you how much I enjoy serving in this school district. This community has embraced me and my wife, Jodi. We just hope we have been able to repay the kindness and

support shown to us.”

Tager also says he wanted to give the members of the School Board ample time to begin the search process, saying, “There may have been options, such as sitting out for some time and then possibly returning. However, I’ve seen how some other governments have handled that option and I did not feel it appropriate I put our School Board in that position.”

Under Tager’s leadership, four distinct goals were laid out: focusing on literacy and high expectations, using early warning systems to identify students who need more supports earlier, increasing the district’s graduation rate and getting more students into accelerated programs. As a result, Flagler Schools has seen steady growth in test scores and graduation rates among students, especially among minority and ESE students.

The district’s innovative Flagship program, which is tied directly to the industries within Flagler County and the surrounding area, has also expanded. Tager continually challenges adults to take a more active role in the education of the county’s youth. As a result, more teachers, administrators, staff, and community members have signed up to mentor students over the past two years.

Flagler Schools is A-rated for first time in eight years JASON WHEELER FLAGLER SCHOOLS COMMUNICATION INFORMATION

For the first time in eight years, Flagler Schools is an A-rated district. The Florida Department of Education released scores for districts and schools the morning of July 11.

“I am absolutely elated for our students, their families, our faculty and staff, district and school administration, and our Flagler County community. It is something to celebrate,” Superintendent James Tager said upon receiving the news. “Teamwork is the key. I can’t say enough about the people within our school buildings that do the hard work every day.”

Diane Dyer, Teaching and Learning executive director of Flagler Schools, points to four items Tager has been stressing with the schools during the 2018-2019 school year: “Focus on literacy and high expectations, paying attention to the early warning system and identifying students who need the most support, increase the graduation rate, and stress acceleration. We made gains in all those areas and it paid off.”

County v. Clerk?

County prepares for possible lawsuit against clerk of court.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Flagler County government is preparing for the possibility of suing one of the county’s own constitutional officers.

Repeatedly during a July 15 County Commission meeting, commissioners showed their frustration with Clerk of Court Tom Bexley. First, over the fact that he hadn’t shown up at the meeting, in which commissioners were slated to discuss an ongoing dispute between Bexley’s office and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office over the allocation of space between the two government offices in the courthouse.

“I just thought it would have been nice if Tom had showed up tonight,” Commissioner David Sullivan said.

And about the fact that he hadn’t replied, except through the press, to the commission’s written requests that he cede 5,000 feet at the courthouse. And about the fact that Bexley had commissioned his own formal study of the space at the building more than a month ago and then sat on the study results, revealing them to the commission only at the July 15 meeting, through his deputy Luke Givens, in order to bolster his own case that he didn’t have space to cede.

“I almost want to say for the sheriff and the clerk to put on their big boy pants and sit down and solve this thing,” Commissioner Greg Hansen said. “If the clerk won’t even come to the table, I don’t know how we do it.”

Commissioners decided to issue an ultimatum: At Sullivan’s suggestion, they opted to send Bexley a letter requesting that he agree to have an independent space study of the building conducted, and to comply with its conclusions.

If Bexley does not reply favorably within 48 hours, the county will begin preparing for a legal action against Bexley’s office, starting by hiring the law firm of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson.

That process, County Attorney Al Hadeed said, would mean that an independent judge, from outside the circuit, would be brought in to adjudicate.

OPTIONS

The FCSO’s staff has been displaced from the agency’s Operations Center building

since June 2018 because of mold issues that employees believe were responsible for a number of staff illnesses there. They’ve been staying at the county courthouse while new facilities are built. The new building is expected to be completed in about two years.

But in the meantime, Staly has repeatedly said his staff is so cramped at the courthouse that it’s hindering their work. Bexley has countered that the FCSO’s presence has impeded the Clerk of Courts operations.

The County Commission, on May 20, had told County Administrator Jerry Cameron to determine the availability of space in the courthouse to see if the sheriff’s operations there could be expanded. Cameron, through a staff member, had ordered the clerk to provide an additional 5,000 feet of space to the sheriff.

But that had not happened, and before commissioners came to their decision July 15, Cameron told them that Bexley hadn’t seemed willing to work with the county administration.

He cited Bexley’s decision to have a space study conducted but not reveal it to county staff until the July 15 meeting as an example, saying he would have expected “some reciprocity” from the clerk in terms of sharing information.

“You know, I’m here before my board tonight trying to give them a report, and I can’t begin to tell them what I think of this because I haven’t had time to review it,” Cameron said.

He told commissioners that they had three options: Get the clerk and the sheriff to work out an arrangement to share the space; rent space for the Sheriff’s Office at an estimated $1 million or more; or sue.

The first option — though the best one for taxpayers — seemed unlikely, he said.

COSTS

County Commissioner Joe Mullins did not want to use taxpayer money to rent more space, he said — not after taxpayers had already paid millions of dollars for the Sheriff’s Operations Center on State Road 100, which has now sat unused for more than a year because of mold.

“Do we really want this image to the public and the state that we’re fighting internally?”

Mullins asked. “ ... It just needs

“I almost want to say for the sheriff and the clerk to put on their big boy pants and sit down and solve this thing.”

GREG HANSEN, county commissioner

to get resolved. And the quicker we do it, the quicker it’s going to get over with. So I beg all parties, consider the taxpayer first.”

Commissioner Greg Hansen said he was familiar with the courthouse building.

“We all know there’s empty space over there that nobody’s sitting in,” Hansen said. “And it’s temporary, as we’ve heard. There’s room in the courthouse for growth — that’s 30 years of growth. We’re talking about two years.”

Cameron had proposed that the county could have a space study conducted by an outside firm, at a cost of about $25,000. But Hansen and Sullivan didn’t see the point of spending that money unless Bexley would agree beforehand to abide by its conclusions.

Commission Chairman Donald O’Brien agreed.

But, O’Brien said, “I abhor one governmental entity suing another. ... I think that is the most complete waste of taxpayer dollars that I can even imagine. ...

I would be completely opposed to taking that action.”

Mullins asked if the county could add portable buildings outside the courthouse building to add space for the Sheriff’s Office.

Chief Mark Strobridge, the FCSO spokesman representing Staly at the meeting — Staly was away at a conference — said the FCSO had looked into that option but determined that it would cost about a million dollars or more, because short-term portable building rentals have high rates.

Sullivan believed the matter may require litigation.

“We may have stumbled, I’m sorry to say, on an issue that needs legal clarification,” he said. Namely: Does a county commission have the right to reallocate space among constitutional officers in a county-owned building? “It may well be the only way to resolve this is through a legal determination,” he said.

One expert has already provided some words of caution: On July 12, the circuit’s chief judge — Raul Zambrano — for the first time spoke publicly on the controversy, warning commissioners in a fourpage letter that allowing a “quasi forced taking of courthouse space sets a terrible precedent,” as the courthouse was not designed to be used as overflow space.

And, Zambrano added, “most

importantly to this court,” an overwhelming law enforcement presence at the courthouse could create legal issues and “could create a chilling effect on the administration of justice.”

“I cringe at the thought that someone may choose to forego coming into the building out of any fear or concern, whether real or imagined, because of an overwhelming presence of law enforcement officers,” Zambrano wrote.

He explained his concerns in a series of bullet points, noting also that the county is slated to receive an additional judge soon, and that the new judge will require space in the courthouse and potentially the addition of more staff.

During the July 15 meeting’s public comment period, Palm Coast resident Ed Fuller said he’d read that letter.

“He just said consider; he didn’t say you were breaking the law,” Fuller said. “He didn’t say it was against the law, he just said consider.” He added that taking a position isn’t leadership.

“Leadership is taking action. ...

You are the primary owner of that building.”

Local government boards set maximum tax rates Taxes are going up even as rates stay the same or go down.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast is setting its maximum millage rate for the 2020 fiscal year at 4.6989 mills, or $4.6989 per $1,000 of taxable value. The millage rate will not be finalized until September. The City Council approved the maximum rate with a 4-0 vote at a county meeting on July 16. Mayor Milissa Holland was absent.

The approved maximum rate is the same as last year’s actual rate. Because of rising property

values, it is a 9.37% increase from the rolled-back rate — the rate which would bring in the same dollar amount of revenue as last year — of 4.2963 mills.

The total estimated taxable value of property in Palm Coast for this coming year is $5,452,170,314, a 9% increase from this year’s taxable value of 4,995,651,282.

The Tentative Budget Hearing will be held at 5:05 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4, at the Palm Coast City Hall Community Wing, located at 160 Lake Ave.

3

The County Commission, in a meeting held July 15, set a proposed 2020 millage rate of 8.5847 mills, including Environmentally Sensitive Lands funding and debt service levies.

That rate is expected to bring in $79,152,304. It is lower than the 2019 rate of 8.7247, but, because of rising property values, is a tax increase. The general fund millage rate, of 8.1297, is expected to bring in $4,740,533 more this year than last year, an increase of 7.13%.

The County Commission approved the publishing of the

proposed rate unanimously. The actual rate will be set at a meeting in September.

The School Board unanimously approved the advertisement of a tentative millage rate of 6.24 mills. Unlike other local boards, the school district has limited control over its millage — the bulk of it, 3.9920 mills this coming year, is mandated by the state. The mandated portion has increased by 1.34% this year. This coming year’s school district tax levy would be $64,844,059; this past year’s was $61,385,926.

Palm Coast funded the addition of five deputies at the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office last year, bringing the total number of deputies assigned to Palm Coast to 64, plus several staff members that are not sworn law enforcement officers.

This year, Sheriff Rick Staly its seeking funding for six more deputies, FCSO Chief Mark Strobridge told Palm Coast City Council members a July 16 council meeting.

For now, the agency’s budget for law enforcement within the city is $3.5 million, Strobridge said.

“The sheriff has been a good steward for your tax dollars,” he said. “He delivered a 42% reduction in fatal crashes as a result of your foresight being able to fund those positions in the prior year.”

Still, Strobridge said, although crime is down in the community — by 22% — calls for service are up.

Sheriff Rick Staly

The proposed six new deputies, Strobridge said, would be assigned to a “power shift” — a squad working during peak call times.

Strobridge contrasted the number of deputies per 1,000 community members in Palm Coast — 1.62 deputies per 1,000 — with the statewide average of 2.28 per 1,000. The International Association of Chiefs of Police, he added, recommends 2.5 law enforcement officers per 1,000.

But the city has already made preliminary plans for its budget for the coming year, so acceding to the sheriff’s request would mean cutting back somewhere else.

“We’ve got to look at the whole picture ... and we have to prioritize, big time,” City Councilman Jack Howell said, mentioning the city’s efforts to improve its stormwater system.

“We ... have to sit down and scratch our heads to figure out the prioritization.”

He asked Strobridge how much money it would cost to add three deputies, rather than six.

Strobridge, noting that he was speaking off the top of his head, said about $330,0000.

Councilman Eddie Branquinho, himself a former policeman, thought law enforcement should take precedence over matters like stormwater drainage.

“The swales are important, no doubt about it,” Branquinho said.

“But between having a little water

coming into my house and a thief coming into my house, a robber coming into my house, I’d rather have the water.”

Branquinho said he planned to meet with City Manager Matt Morton to see what could be done to add deputies without increasing taxes.

Councilman Bob Cuff asked how many additional deputies it would take, based on the city’s population, to reach the recommended 2.5 deputies per 1,000.

“Promising us if we give him six now he won’t ask for (more), that’s a little bit like, ‘You give me a puppy this year and I won’t ask for anything for my birthday,’” Cuff said. “What’s the final buildout, if you will, if we can get up to 2.5 (per 1,000 people) in terms of sworn officers?”

Strobridge said it would probably mean adding about 40 more people, but the Sheriff’s goal is to get the community to about two deputies per 1,000.

Cuff noted that adding deputies is essentially “an eternal expense,” as future councils are unlikely to want to cut them.

Councilman Nick Klufas asked if there might be any one-time expenses — for instance, for technology or equipment — that the city could undertake to enhance the FCSO’s policing abilities without adding staff.

Strobridge said the agency does use technology to enhance its abilities, but still needs the staffing.

Commissioner David Sullivan agreed. “I just think it’s what we’re supposed to be doing,” he said.

“It’s good for the tax situation.”

Bunnell’s director of community development, Rodney Lucas, said the city supports the project.

Resident Jane Gentile-Youd said commissioners shouldn’t be so willing to move forward with a company about which they have limited information.

“You do not sign any project where there’s no name, no address, no proof,” she said. “Anybody who votes for this should be removed from office.”

Several other community members spoke in favor of the proposed agreement.

Jim Manfre, an attorney and former Flagler County sheriff, called the agreement a “great template for the future.”

“Like any business, you have to invest to attract the customers, and this is what the county’s doing — it’s making an investment,” he said.

County Chamber of Commerce Chairman Jorge Gutierrez said the money that the company will put into the community will more than cover the amount it will receive from the county.

“I looked at it and from an investor’s perspective,” Gutierrez said.

“For me, it’s a no-brainer.”

County Commissioner Greg Hansen listens to county staff at a commission meeting July 15.

310646-1

Flagler County will provide up to $680,160 over 10 years in the form of incentive pay to an as-of-yetunnamed furniture assembly and distribution company to attract that company to Flagler County.

The money will be paid only after the company pays its taxes each year, and each year’s disbursement cannot exceed the value of the company’s property tax payment for that year.

County Commissioner Joe Mullins, speaking at a July 15 commission meeting before commissioners voted unanimously to approve the incentive agreement, asked county staff if the arrangement would be analogous to the company giving the county $100 and the county then handing $20 back.

Helga van Eckert, executive director of the county’s Department of Economic Opportunity, said that it would.

She said the company is more than 20 years old and would be constructing a 250,000-squarefoot facility on U.S. 1 and creating 50 jobs, with an average salary of $51,000 per year. That would also lead indirectly to another two dozen jobs, she said.

“This is a great project for our community,” she said. “It’s a majoring investment in our county. ... Property taxes that would be generated based on an assessed value of $13 million would be over $200,000 per year, just based on the value of the building.”

The land, she said, has been bringing in $116 per year in taxes.

“This is the beginning of what we’ve been working for, bringing the high-paying jobs,” Mullins said. “Fifty jobs doesn’t sound like a lot, but it is.”

He added that growing the county’s commercial tax base will decrease the tax burden on resi-

Kudos to county for attracting Project Columbus

O’Brien’s statement shows lack of respect for officers

Dear Editor: The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce would like to express our support for Project Columbus and the efforts of the Flagler County Department of Economic Opportunity in bringing this well-established manufacturing/distribution company to Flagler County.

The county stands to benefit greatly through the recruitment of this new business.

Dear Editor: Brave men and women put on their uniforms and go out the door each and every day to possibly be put in harm’s way while protecting our ever growing numbers of Flagler County residents. Sheriff Rick Staly sent a three-page letter to the five county commissioners, saying we can’t continue to “Kick the can down the round.” He was referring to the mold found in the newly acquired Sears building.

Out of the five elected county commissioners, only Commissioner Donald O’Brien made a back-handed insult to Sheriff Staly. He said, “It’s a good turn-up-the-heat letter.

He makes some good salient points.”

By making that snobbish statement to our top law enforcement officer, Commissioner O’Brien shows a lack of respect for our brave men and women who help our growing community a safe place to live.

PROJECT COLUMBUS WILL:

 Construct a 250,000-square-foot facility, an estimated capital investment of $20 million, including land purchase and site preparation providing a building asset we currently do not have.  Employ 50 people at an average wage of $50,000, which is $17,449 above the average annual Flagler County wage.  Create an economic impact for Flagler County of $2.4 million annually.  Create additional temporary jobs for local construction workers.  Will contribute approximately $2 million to county revenue for the first 12 years years and $200,000+ every year.  Provide $83,378 directly to the schools annually in taxes that the county would not otherwise receive.  Add 33,000 square feet of much needed leasable industrial space in their building to the limited industrial space inventory in the county.  Stimulate industrial growth in the south-end of the county along U.S. 1.

This project is a major win for Flagler County and its residents for the many reasons stated above.

We encourage the Department of Economic Opportunity in its efforts to attract businesses, such as Project Columbus, in growing industries that provide a better than average wage to ensure continued prosperity for our local residents, and diversify and grow our economy in a sustainable manner.

JORGE GUTIERREZ President, Flagler County Chamber of Commerce

Form a committee to address illegal fireworks Dear Editor: The Sheriff’s Office is criticized each year on July 4 and New Year’s for a perceived lack of enforcement of illegal fireworks laws. The criticism is reflected via letters to the Palm Coast Observer every year (as it was in the July 11 edition). The issue is obviously of major concern to Palm Coast residents involving both the neighbors who violate the laws and law enforcement’s response to the numerous complaints made each year.

There is a growing tension in neighborhoods where the unwanted illegal fireworks are exploded and a growing lack of respect for the Sheriff’s Office who has admittedly not viewed the associated dangers and peace disruption as a priority and apparently does not have a true sense of the degree of the public’s festering outrage.

I have a suggestion. The Sheriff’s Office could spearhead a committee, possibly comprising citizens, law enforcement, fireworks industry reps, the fire marshal

and local government officials to hash out the concerns and just maybe come up with some ideas to mitigate the problem.

The mere publication of such an effort has the benefit of demonstrating that the problem is recognized, that respect for the law and your neighbors is important, that the dangers are real — and it may actually have somewhat of a collateral deterrent effect.

ROBERT GORDON Palm Coast

Flagler Beach proposal was not ‘smart growth’ Dear Editor: Developer Ken Belshe and his attorney failed in their first attempt to win over Flagler Beach residents, and rightly so! This project does not meet the most important criteria of smart growth as they proposed during their July 1 presentation.

For such a project to be truly smart growth, it should be placed where intense development currently occurs, and secondly, smart growth seeks to preserve natural lands and sensitive environments such as the Intracoastal Waterway and Bulow Creek.

Belshe stated that we cannot stop people from coming to Flagler Beach, which is true; however, people come to Flagler Beach for its idyllic laid back atmosphere. If they like intense development, they will gravitate to areas like Palm Coast where this project really belongs.

Any argument promoting the advantages of the potential tax base and impact fees is totally false as pointed out in Art Woosley’s recent letter to the Palm Coast Observer.

The type of intense development proposed will cost taxpayers up to $1.50 for every $1 of additional taxes received when considering the additional services and school taxes required. The developer will attempt to schmooze

We can stop unwanted and unneeded projects like this one, but it takes courage and sustained outcry from all involved.

Dear Editor: Bravo to the crowds that have (thus far) fended off the incomprehensible sweetheart deal between a private business (Captain’s BBQ) and Flagler County government, and now are rising against the proposal for a gargantuan development near Bulow Plantation and Flagler Beach. The area is at a tipping point. Either it will move in the direction of the tasteful natural beauty of a place like Ponte Vedra, or slouch into an offshoot of Daytona.

Natural beauty has been Palm Coast’s signature (greatly helping property values, by the way), but it is threatened by two things: the almost pathological proclivity that local governments have for grabbing short-term gain (tax dollars via new development) and the litter strewn about.

How a gas station owned by out-of-towners can be allowed to be built in what is in effect a woodland, and then lead to litter in a clean quiet neighborhood, is beyond confusing.

So is the fact that while cities and states with far less beauty have fines reaching up to a $1,000 or more, while ours is $500 and rarely enforced. I recently drove to and from St. Louis, was in Chicago before that, drove to and from New Orleans before that, and just returned from Arizona and New Mexico, and I must say that with the possible exception of Louisiana and Mississippi, Florida had the most roadside debris.

Time to take these bulls by the horns; the hour grows too late.

Pam and Eugene O’Neill.

Couple opens Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa in Palm Coast After nearly 10 years in the retail business, Pam O’Neill was ready for a change of pace.

A friend talked to her about managing a Hand and Stone Massage store, so she decided to jump into it. She managed a store in Orlando.

“I loved the whole idea of it,” O’Neill said. “I was just looking for something new.”

Pam and her husband, Eugene O’Neill, moved to Palm Coast two years ago, and they celebrated the opening of their own Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa on June 3. The store gives massages, facials and waxings.

The store — which is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays — is located at 5200 State Road 100, Suite 107, in Palm Coast.

Man beats up pot thief, deputies say

Wanted man flees in truck, then foot

License plate reader wins again

Sheriff sees stolen vehicle, 3 arrested

A 21-year-old victim told deputies he was tied up and beaten at a residence on Hernandez Avenue. The victim told deputies on the early morning of July 10 that the suspect, identified as Peter Palazzotto, 46, forcibly removed all of the victim’s clothing in search of missing marijuana, which was not found.

The victim attempted to leave, but Palazzotto grabbed a gray surfboard leash, put the victim in a “hog-tie” position on the kitchen floor, and wrapped the gray surfboard leash around his neck, constricting his airflow. Palazzotto then tied the surfboard leash to the victim’s hands and feet.

Palazzotto repeatedly punched and kicked him in the back of the head, then released him from the restraints. Palazzotto then grabbed the victim’s blue iPhone and wallet, containing $300 cash, and told the victim to leave.

Deputies attempted to make contact with Palazzotto, but he initially would not speak with deputies. A short time later, af-

A Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy attempted a traffic stop on a blue-and-white 1977 Dodge Motorhome for speeding and having a left tail light out around 10:20 p.m. Tuesday, July 9.

When the driver stopped, he fled on foot into a residence and could not be located. The male registered owner of the motorhome, James Lauterbach, 57, had active warrants in two counties.

Late that night, he began driving a truck around the property and then crashed through the closed front gate that was on the property and turned west onto Walnut Avenue. Lauterbach drove the truck recklessly at 70 mph in a 30 mph zone with the headlights off.

The truck was stopped, but he again fled on foot before being Tased and arrested.

“A simple traffic stop turned into a night of hide-and-seek and reckless driving,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Within the motorhome, deputies found guns and ammunition.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies recovered a stolen vehicle July 9 after it triggered an automatic license plate reader to alert law enforcement.

The LPR “hit” occurred at 3:51 p.m. on Palm Coast Parkway, according to an FCSO charging affidavit.

Deputies conductred a felony traffic stop and ordered the driver out of the car. He stepped out with a black laptop bag, and they secured him.

His Florida driver’s license identified him as Kevin JeanGilles, 37 and a resident of Orlando. He told deputies he’d borrowed the vehicle and didn’t know it was stolen.

When deputies searched him, they found a large amount of cash, multiple credit cards with other people’s names on them, a credit card skimmer, three cell phones, an iPad, two wireless routers, multiple sets of car keys and cocaine.

Jean-Gilles was charged with grand theft auto and possession of cocaine, and taken to the county jail. He was released on a $5,000 bond.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office received an alert from an LPR that a stolen vehicle was heading north on U.S. 1 at 10 a.m. Sunday, July 14. Sheriff Rick Staly spotted the vehicle near Belle Terre heading toward Bunnell. After Staly confirmed a match of the license plate number to the stolen tag, a traffic stop was initiated by a marked patrol unit.

The suspect vehicle then sped away from deputies, weaving in and out of traffic and making erratic U-turns before it crashed into a Penske rental truck.

The stolen vehicle was occupied by three people. Staly and deputies approached the vehicle with their weapons drawn and arrested Brian Johnson, 21; Marquis Gross, 21; and Justin King, 22; all from Gainesville.

“This is another great example of LPRs helping us capture criminals,” Staly said.

All three suspects were arrested and also complained of injuries from the crash; they were taken to the hospital.

Peter Palazzotto.

ter deputies interviewed other witnesses, Palazzotto threw a blue iPhone out of the front door near where deputies were standing. A passerby found the victim’s wallet on the street and returned it to deputies. It was empty.

“This victim was lucky to walk away with his life,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Thankfully he was able to get to a safe place and the store clerk called us immediately. This is a reminder of the dangers when you associate with others in the illegal drug world.”

Palazzotto was charged with kidnapping, battery by strangulation, grand theft and robbery. He will be booked into the Flagler County Jail and held without bond pending a hearing by a judge.

16-year-old arrested in shooting death of 17-year-old Deputies: Suspect arranged a drug deal with Rizvan and then shot him at their arranged meeting place.

NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have arrested Benjamin Allen, 16, in connection with the July 12 shooting death of 17-yearold Elijah Rizvan in Palm Coast’s W-Section. The suspect is being charged with first-degree murder.

Detectives believe the shooting occurred in the course of a drug deal arranged over Snapchat.

“We believe this was a planned and deliberate murder,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in a news conference July 14. “This is the second young man murdered in Palm Coast this year. Parents, get involved with your children’s life. Know what they’re doing on Snapchat. Know what they’re doing on all the social media they are using.”

A dozen detectives had worked around the clock since July 12 to solve the crime, Staly said.

The shooting happened outside near 7 Westford Lane. Deputies responding to an 8:26 p.m. 911 call about a shooting found Rizvan at 8:27 p.m. lying in the road, shot in the chest.

A single .380-caliber shell casing was found near his body, and at 8:37 p.m., Rizvan was pronounced dead, Staly said.

A witness told deputies that Rizvan had set up a drug deal over Snapchat to sell marijuana.

“What the victim did not know was that they had actually planned to rob him, and not buy the drugs,” Staly said. “The witness also told deputies that a silver or gray sedan pulled up to the residence and two black males exited the vehicle, grabbed his arms and one of them shot him in the chest. The males then got back in the car and sped off.”

The initial communication about the drug deal was between Allen and a third party known to Rizvan, who then contacted Riz-

van and told Rizvan that Allen wanted to buy drugs.

Deputies found multiple baggies of drugs in Rizvan’s pocket.

“He’d been trying to sell it for $120,” Staly said. “So he lost his life over a bag of weed, when he was hoping for 120 bucks.”

Rizvan’s girlfriend later told deputies that, after he’d been

shot, Rizvan had asked her to get the drugs out of his pockets and hide them. She tried, but didn’t get all of them, and deputies later also found what she’d hidden.

Deputies used Snapchat names to find a potential witness who lived in Island Estates. When they got to the home, there was a silver Kia Forte and a gray Ford Focus in

“Video surveillance from the area, of privately owned surveillance systems ... shows a vehicle matching the Ford Focus in the area just two minutes before the murder and then speeding away,” Staly said.

Three witnesses also independently told detectives that they were with Allen during the shooting.

One said he’d gotten out of the car with Allen and had seen him grab Rizvan, demand drugs, then shoot him, according to an arrest affidavit.

The witnesses also said that they’d let Allen out of the car in the Tidelands area in Palm Coast, where deputies determined he lived.

Reviewing license plate reader cameras and surveillance cameras, deputies found that the car was heading west on Palm Coast Parkway at 7:09 p.m., was seen arriving at Cue Note Billiard Room at 7:15 p.m. and departing one hour later — “during that

time, this drug ripoff and deal was made,” Staly said — and was seen at the scene of the shooting at 8:24 p.m. It was seen traveling east on Palm Coast Parkway at 8:32 p.m.

“In less than 15 hours, we had all persons involved identified,” Staly said.

They made contact with Allen at 5:20 p.m. July 13, and brought him to the county courthouse with his mother and stepfather, Staly said.

When detectives interviewed Allen, he admitted that he was in the car with the three witnesses, but then refused to answer further questions, invoking his right to an attorney.

“Detectives worked with the State Attorney’s Office to get an arrest warrant for first-degree murder, based on the evidence gathered during the investigation and the fact that a death occurred while committing a felony,” Staly said. In Florida, people involved in the commission of a felony that leads to a death can be charged with murder.

Deputies arrested Allen at 3:48 a.m. July 14 at the courthouse, and took him to the county jail for processing. He has since been transferred to juvenile detention in Daytona Beach.

Deputies also got a search warrant for Allen’s home, and found the T-shirt, hoodie and jeans they believe he was wearing during the

shooting.

Additional arrests and charges are likely, Staly said.

“What’s interesting about this case is this crime started with the use of use of technology — Snapchat,” Staly said. “And it was solved with use of technology — from LPRs (license plate readers) to private citizens’ ... security cameras around their house.”

Witnesses initially told most of the truth, Staly said, and then tried to lie about the actual shooting.

“What helped us break them was a citizen who provided us his Ring door camera video, because it disproved what the witnesses had previously told us,” Staly said.

“And once they saw the evidence, then they finished filling in the story on what our evidence had pointed us to.”

The victim had been previously known to deputies because he ran away twice in 2018, and had at one point been confined under a Baker Act — the state law that allows deputies to take someone for inpatient mental health evaluation if they’re believed to be a danger to themselves or others.

There had also been a domestic violence incident at the house, but there had been conflicting stories about what happened, and no arrests were made, Staly said.

“Unfortunately, this is probably a young man who’d had a troubled life,” Staly said.

Deputies had no previous contact with the suspect, Staly said.

illiam Warren can clearly recall his first year serving as vice president of Palm Coast Little League softball. With two years in the league already under his belt, he had just taken over for former vice president Mike Ledrich.

There was a lot of adversity.

There was a dire need for pitching, and many of the girls struggled to play together.

But he had a vision. He saw a bright future for Palm Coast Little League softball, and he knew there was a way to attain it.

He had to get the community’s kids interested in playing, keep them playing and help facilitate a positive atmosphere.

“There was a lot of practice,” Warren said, “a lot of lost family time, a lot of recruiting.”

There weren’t a lot of expectations entering year two. But there was a difference in how well the girls were playing, especially in Warren’s 10-and-under All-Star team, which was fueled by a small group of girls “so good that they could carry the rest of the team.”

That team breezed through the district tournament and went on to become sectional champions, becoming the first Palm Coast Little League softball team to qualify for the state tournament.

“When we went to sectionals, we were a dominant team for once,” Warren said. “We were meant to be there. It was almost magical — if you want to call it that.”

The girls, six of whom moved onto the 11-and-under squad, entered the 2019 All-Star season

with confidence, aided by the fact that there was no offseason for them anymore. They now played softball year round, mostly for the Flagler Bandits travel ball team.

Jay Sampselle, who has been involved with Palm Coast Little League for six years, was named head coach of the 11U team after the end of the regular season.

Mark Adams, an assistant on last year’s 10U team, was made assistant again.

Despite hours of rain and lightning delays, Palm Coast beat Hilliard 18-5 June 29 in Port St. Johns.

The girls then faced Port St. Johns.

Catcher Sadie Schell scooped up a ball from behind home plate and rifled it to shortstop Allie Adams to tag a runner out at second to give Palm Coast a 22-3 win.

The girls shouted in triumph, digging ice-cold water bottles out of their cooler to douse their head coach in sweet, sweet victory.

Pitcher Ashley Sampselle, catcher Emily Warren, pitcher/ third baseman Jamie Hill, second baseman Gabriella Salgado, Schell and Adams — all on last year’s 10U team — would be making the trip to states for a second year in a row.

“It’s a testament to the com-

MEN

munity,” Mark Adams said. “We get a lot of parents who come out to help.”

“It’s a labor of love for us parents,” Jay Sampselle added.

Palm Coast opened the state tournament with an impressive 5-inning, 24-14 win over Naples’ Golden Gate on July 6 in St. Petersburg. However, they were bounced from the event after being runruled 23-1 by Windermere, the eventual state champion.

The girls were still grateful for the experience, though, and for how far they and their league have come in the past few years.

“I think we’re building a reputation,” Schell said. “We’re making our little league proud one step at a time.”

The 11U team’s success has seemed to inspire nearby teams.

Palm Coast’s junior softball team qualified for states for the first time in program history this season.

“I think the other girls realized they have to up their game if they want to have success,” Warren said. “They’re all great softball players. They want to play at the next level. It’s not just a few girls.

It’s a team. And they want to do it together.”

Revealing New Paths to Treat Joint Conditions

Palm Coast’s Justin Gilliam hopes to one day be an American Ninja Warrior.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Justin Gilliam was sitting on the couch in his family’s Palm Coast home, absentmindedly flipping through channels on the television, when something good finally caught his eye.

He put the remote down and stared at the TV in awe.

On it were people performing incredible feats of athleticism: swinging from rope to rope, sprinting over wobbly slacklines, grasping slippery bars while the water below taunted the athletes into falling.

Justin, now a 13-year-old student at Indian Trails Middle School, watched “American Ninja Warrior” — a TV show that features competitors attempting to complete series of obstacle courses of increasing difficulty — for the first time seven years ago.

He’s followed the show, now in its 11th season, religiously ever since. Every Monday, when a new episode is aired, he’s watching.

He hopes to one day appear on the show. His favorite competitors are Daniel Gil and Joe Moravsky.

He’s met them both in person.

Although he started competing not even a year ago, Gilliam qualified to compete in the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association World

He doesn’t remember that first episode he watched all those years ago — only the feeling it gave him.

STUFF TO SWING ON

The perfect ninja warrior is equipped with an explosive blend of speed, balance, grip and upper body strength.

There are no ninja gyms in Flagler or Volusia counties, so in order to hone his skills, Justin would go to a local park, usually the Wickline Center Park in Flagler Beach, and spend hours learning to leap from bar to bar on the jungle gym.

“I was just swinging and trying to challenge myself,” he said. “It just came naturally to me.”

“I was just swinging and trying to challenge myself. It just came naturally to me.”

Photo by Ray Boone

Palm Coast's Justin Gilliam, 13, is ready to be the next American Ninja Warrior.

He practiced at home, too. He learned to do handstands and flips off the couch in the living room — despite warnings from his mother, Christina Gilliam.

“He’s been doing this since he was little,” she said. “I’m always telling him to be careful.”

He worked out exclusively at the park and at his home for about three years, until he discovered NinjaFit Gym in Orlando last summer. He was eventually invited to be a part of Team ONA, at the Obstacle Ninja Academy in Orlando, this past December. His team’s practices are once every other week, with a one-on-one coaching session each month.

His parents make the 1 hour and 45 minute drive (not including traffic) to the academy so he can practice.

“It’s not easy, but we do it because we feel like he enjoys it and he’s good at it,” Christina Gilliam said. “We have always been very supportive with our kids with whatever they’ve wanted to pursue. He’s extremely determined, and that’s developed even more.

If he misses an obstacle, he’s not going to stop until he gets it.”

But because of the distance, he goes to the gym once a week. Until then, he’s at home or the park.

“I’m always looking for stuff to swing on,” he said.

AN AMAZING FEELING

Justin was introduced to competition when he started training at NinjaFit. His first competition

River & Ocean Cruise Seminar

was in October 2018.

The top 50% from each local tournament advance to regionals, with the top three from regionals advancing to the world championship.

Out of about 15 kids, Justin was one spot away from qualifying for the regional. He fell on the slackline.

However, he got his second chance a month later at the Mighty Orion Gym in Jacksonville. He finished third overall and qualified for the regional in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, in May. There were 10 obstacles at the regional, with a 14 1/2-foot warped wall in the middle.

Justin, standing at 4-foot-9, got over on his third try, barely grasping the edge with his fingertips before pulling himself up.

“It was just an amazing feeling,” Justin said. “I was able to power through the course after that.”

When: Monday, July 22

The effort Justin and his parents have put in has been exhausting.

The trips to the park, the arduous training sessions at the gym and the long drives have taken their toll.

But it’s been 100% worth it.

“We want to see Justin continue to grow and be challenged,” his father, Nathan Gilliam, said.

“We want him to build his character and skills as far as he wants to take it.”

ineteen students spent part of their summer planting seeds of hope in Sylacauga, Alabama, for a mission trip with Palm Coast Community Church.

The PC3 youth, ages 11 to 17, traveled with seven adult leaders to the small town outside of Talladega to grow in their own faith, tell others about God and work in a community garden.

“That was important to me — that we get as far away from home as we can — because when we do that, they tend to experience a lot of out-of-their-comfort-zone changes and then have to rely on each other and their faith more than ever,” PC3 Kids and Youth Director Stacey Doolin said.

Doolin said that this was the largest youth group the church on Palm Coast Parkway had taken on a mission trip. It was the fifth trip she’s run; seeing students’ lives transformed never gets old for her.

This was the second mission trip Isa Gordon, 15, had attended. The upcoming Matanzas High School sophomore said she wasn’t nervous at all to talk to locals about her faith.

The students worked for at least three hours a day in the garden that was outside of the federal housing project, on

Heather Reed, Celeste Baker and Sara Kate Vanucci hold ears of corn they harvested.

Monday, June 24, to Wednesday, June 26. It was hard work to tend to the vegetables and mow the lawn around the nearly 4-acre garden, Isa said, but it felt good to help.

“When we were walking around, we were handing out glasses and stickers, and we were telling them about Jesus and our church, but we also got some stories back about miracles in their lives,” Isa said.

Isa remembers her interaction with one woman specifically: Ms. Bonnie.

“When she was little, she was born premature, so the doctor told her mom not to even bother taking her home because she wouldn’t make it,” Isa said. “Her mom did leave, but God told her to come back, so she did. And her mom took good care of her and kept a close eye on her, and now she’s spreading the word of Jesus, and I think that’s amazing.”

About half of the students who attended hadn’t been on a mission trip before, so Isa often took a step back to encourage the new students to speak up to the locals as they meandered around town.

While the trip was only five days and four nights long, Doolin hopes the experiences will encourage the students to continue serving back home in Palm Coast.

“It’s a reminder to just say,

‘Remember what you did in the garden, and you didn’t know what you were doing and you didn’t really like it — but you did it anyway because it was the right thing to do? Go do that at home; go do that at school when school starts,’” she said.

Upon their return to PC3, a handful of students shared anecdotes and lessons from the trip during the church and youth services on Sunday, June 30.

“I learned that sometimes it’s going to take a little bit to get along with people, even if they are your friends, but if you really try, you can all get together and have a peaceful environment,” Isa said.

The students had to do work to be able to even go on the trip — to do more work.

Each student was responsible for raising $500 to attend the mission trip, Doolin said. Some students exceeded their fundraising goals, and others didn’t hit the mark, so the funds were shared.

Isa and her mother, who also went on the trip, cleaned houses and apartments, as well as did baby-sitting, to pay for the trip.

But it was all worth it to Isa, who said she wants to continue going on mission trips to share her faith.

“Hopefully this planted a little seed,” Isa said.

LOCAL JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS COMPETE AT USLA CHAMPIONSHIP

"Just Photography" winners Lisette Otero-Lewis, Robyn Cowlan, Caryn Lutz, Berdella Gibbs, Tom Silvey, Hanneke Jevons, Vincent Zuniaga, Janet Bernardini and Steven DiMaria

FCAL SHOWS ‘JUST PHOTOGRAPHY’ The Flagler County Art League’s “Just Photography” Show, which opened the evening of Saturday, July 13, has turned out to be one of its biggest midyear shows ever with more than 100 entries in categories ranging from landscapes to street scenes to portraits, photographic art, animals, architecture and more.

The quality was even more amazing than the quantity, according to a press release from FCAL. “As always, the photography from the Flagler/Palm Coast community is at a very high level of achievement,” Eric Breitenbach, senior professor at Daytona State College said in the release. “It was difficult to select the winning images; the competition was frequently a toss-up between two or even three images for an award. The bird photography alone could have garnered several more awards if the number of awards in that category was higher.”

Top winners included Dave

Bowers, with a Best of Show photographic art rendering of a bird that could have doubled as an oil painting. First of Show was Tom Silvey for his architecture work, “Bridge,” which the judge said had “exquisite elements of design.”

Second of Show was a stunning portrait by Stephen DiMaria, and Third of Show, an abstract seascape by Janet Bernardini — all familiar as winners in past shows.

The gallery is located at 160 Cypress Point Parkway, Suite A208. Call 986-4668 for hours of operation.

COOKING SERIES COMES TO LIBRARY A cooking series featuring Chef Warren Caterson, with six live demonstrations and tastings, are planned over the next six months at the Flagler County Public Library.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the series will cover everything from grappling with the grill to making the holidays merry for the chef as well as the guests. Warren Caterson

is a chef and full-time writer who studied at the Southeast Institute of Culinary Arts. He is the award-winning author of “Table for Two – The Cookbook for Couples”, “Table for Two Back for Seconds”, and “Cooking Outside the Lines - Musings of an Extemporaneous Chef “ (Winfield & Scott Press). He will demonstrate the art of cooking and make simple recipes where everyone will get a sample.

The free series begins at 2 p.m. Friday, July 19, with “The Thrill of the Grill. At 2 p.m. on Friday Aug. 9, the second in the series is “Instant Pot, kitchen wonder or temporary fad?” At 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 13, the series will feature Floridan cuisine.

At 2 p.m. on Friday, October 18, Chef Warren will cover “Ten Meals in 10 minutes.” At 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 16, the series is “Thankfull Thanksgiving,” and at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 will be “Stressless Holiday Entertaining.”

All the programs will be at the library at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway SW. The public is invited. For more information, call 446-6763.

Palm Coast veteran celebrates 100th birthday Louise Bush turns 100 The Palm Coast woman celebrated at The Windsor.

Over 50 family members celebrated with Albert John Brogan Sr. at Oceanside.

Oceanside Beach Bar & Grille in Flagler Beach on Thursday, July 11. While Brogan’s official birthday is on Dec. 5, the summer party allowed his children, plus over 40 grandchildren and great grandchildren, to throw him a party for the ages.

The following bio was provided

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Albert John Brogan Sr. celebrated his 100th birthday with over 50 family members who came to visit from five other states outside of Florida.

The celebration was held at

by the family: Brogan was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to a large family during the Great Depression.

Upon graduation from school, he signed on with the Civilian Conservation Corps camps and was dispatched to work on the Skyline Drive in Virginia and later entered the U. S Navy, where he served during World War II. Service behind him, he returned home to be with his wife, Margaret McCarthy, for 72 years and began a family of five children, living today. He was employed by the Atlantic Refinery in Philadelphia for over 38 years before retiring with his wife to Port St. Lucie, where they lived until her death in 2013. He returned to the Philly area before relocating to Palm Coast, where he resides today with his daughter, Kathie.

During his time in Port St. Lucie, he was an active member of the Friendly Sons and Daughters of Ireland, where he served as president and as the grand marshal.

Since coming to Palm Coast, he has joined St. Mark by the Sea Lutheran Church. He recently participated in Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland’s “Walk 90 Miles in 90 Days” challenge. He exceeded that goal and was the oldest participant to receive a medal.

Louise Bush turned 100 years old on July 15.

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Louise Bush rang in one century of life on Tuesday, July 15, at The Windsor of Palm Coast, an assisted-living facility — complete with cake, ice cream and presents.

Born on July 15, 1919, Bush is described as a determined woman. After graduating from school in from Fairmount, West Virginia, she became a secretary for the American Red Cross.

She moved to Palm Coast in 2002 and got connected at Palm Coast United Methodist Church.

Her late husband was in the U.S. Navy.

Ann Cameron, Bush’s primary caregiver, has known her for about 17 years, she said.

“She said she’s a strong-willed woman — her words,” Cameron laughed.

Their friendship evolved into a caregiver position about 11 years ago, Cameron said.

“She loved to play bridge, and she was very active in our church,” Cameron said of Bush. “She and her husband were avid golfers.”

Bush has resided at The Windsor since April 2018.
