Hospital full of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients

Demand for the vaccine is low enough that the DOH is reducing hours.

Manager Gretchen Smith said on Flagler Broadcasting’s “Free For All Friday” Aug. 20. “... We are seeing a pretty significant uptick in the number of cases in schools.”

The other day, Smith said, she was at the rapid testing site when a family of six drove up in a van. All tested positive. The car behind them had four people.

They all tested positive, too.

Flagler County’s COVID-19 case numbers are higher than they’ve ever been — and unvaccinated COVID-19 patients are filling the local hospital to near capacity — but demand for vaccination is lagging enough that the health department is cutting back its vaccination hours.

The department had recorded 731 cases the week of Aug. 9, and 694 the week before.

plus some overflow beds, and sister hospitals have been taking some Flagler County patients.

ER staff, already stretched thin, are also having to deal with people coming in for things that don’t warrant emergency care, like toothaches and minor, coldlike COVID symptoms. (People should seek emergency care for shortness of breath, or anything unusual that might suggest a blood clot, said health department Medical Director Dr. Stephen Bickel.)

There have also been people coming to the hospital looking for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, which the hospital doesn’t offer, and people who don’t believe in the virus demanding tours.

“We actually get phone calls here from community residents asking to come and have a tour in the hospital to make sure that it is COVID that we have in the hospital,” De Aquino said. “And sometimes we just have to educate them that it wouldn’t be kosher for them to be walking around the hospital just to check it out.”

The hospital has over 1,000 employees who are seeing the impacts of COVID daily, he said.

“We hear these [COVID-denying] comments, and unfortunately it’s very hard for our staff,” he said.

Bickel said he believes the vast majority of locals are reasonable.

But, he added, “We have a vocal group that’s really kind of dominating the airwaves.”

Case rates seem to be plateauing, he said, and might come down around October.

Smith warned that the pandemic is at its peak, locally.

“So be kind, be safe, wear your mask — please get vaccinated,” she said.

COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINATION The Florida Department of Health in Flagler County is moving its COVID-19 testing operations to the Flagler County Fairgrounds, 150 Sawgrass Road, in Bunnell.

The site will be open weekdays between 8 a.m. and noon for:  Students, faculty and school staff. No appointments necessary.  The general public (those not employed by or attending local schools) by appointment only. Reservations can be made by calling 386-437-7350, Ext. 0.

Testing on Friday, Aug. 27, will be 8 a.m. to noon at the DOH, 301 Dr. Carter Blvd., Bunnell, due to a previously scheduled event.

Testing on subsequent Fridays will return to Cattleman’s Hall.

Flagler Schools doubles impact fees The district raised its rate for the first time in 17 years, citing extraordinary circumstances.

School’s in session DSC opens doors to new nursing center at Flagler/Palm Coast Campus BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

N

ext week, with the beginning of the 2021 fall semester, nursing students at the Daytona State College Flagler/ Palm Coast Campus will be able to take full advantage of their new facility.

DSC officials cut the ribbon on the new nursing center at the Flagler/Palm Coast campus at a ceremony Thursday, Aug. 19. The ribbon stretched across the amphitheater. Dr. Randy Howard, DSC’s Board of Trustees chair, had the honor of slicing the ribbon, officially opening the new center.

The $4.2 million project refurbished the buildings that previously provided classroom space and supported the amphitheater, said Dr. Amy Szoka, DSC’s School of Nursing chair.

“We completely transformed this space so that it is all dedicated to nursing,” Szoka said. “We have nursing classrooms, faculty offices, simulation, lab space, conference room and student center so that they can spend their entire

“We have nursing classrooms, faculty offices, simulation, lab space, conference room and student center so that they can spend their entire day right here.”

day right here.”

The associate degree nursing program at the Flagler campus began in 1999 with 30 students.

Now there are about 100 students in the program locally. The new facility will increase the program’s capacity to 120.

“In 2018, we felt the need to expand the nursing presence here in Palm Coast, so little by little we expanded,” Szoka said.

AMY SZOKA, DSC School of Nursing Chair

DSC School of Nursing Chair Amy Szoka stands by a patient simulator at DSC Flagler/Palm Coast Campus’ new nursing center.

“Now a student who lives in Palm Coast can come to school in Palm Coast and then go to work in Palm Coast.”

Sozka said the expanded program will help address a critical need for more nurses. She said most of the students in the nursing programs across DSC’s campuses will have a job waiting for them when they graduate.

“At Daytona State College we’re all about providing career paths for the local community,” Howard said. “With the projection of the number of nurses that are going to be needed across the nation and particularly in Flagler/ Palm Coast, this facility will be a great boost to make sure there’s an adequate supply for the local community.”

There are about 600 students currently enrolled in DSC’s nursing programs across the school’s campuses, Szoka said. Students will now be able to complete their associate degrees in nursing entirely at the Flagler/Palm Coast campus and transition into the college’s bachelor of science program.

Sozka said DSC has also had conversations about a partnership with UNF MedNexus.

“Because we have our simulation center here there may be an opportunity to share that with people coming into that MedNex development,” she said.

Pending Flagler County Commission approval, school impact fees for single family homes will be doubling on Dec. 1.

At its Aug. 17 meeting, the Flagler County School Board finalized its plan to raise impact fees for single-family homes from $3,600 to $7,175, multi-family homes from $931 to $1,774 and mobile homes from $1,066 to $5,279.

School impact fees are a onetime levy assessed on new construction to help pay for future school expansion based on projected student growth.

This is the first time the School Board has voted to raise impact fees since November 2004. To do so, the board had to show extraordinary circumstances to sidestep a new state law that limits impact fee increases to 50% implemented over a four-year period.

The School Board hired the TischlerBise firm to perform an impact fee study.

Citing the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research, the study projected a future student growth rate of 40% over the next 10 years.

That figure was adjusted to 23.3%, said Patty Bott, Flagler Schools’ coordinator of Planning and Intergovernmental Relations.

“There are low, medium and high BEBR figures,” Bott said.

“Originally we were using the high BEBR figures. But we went with the medium BEBR.” The medium BEBR projected a student population increase of 247 from 2020 to 2021. But the actual increase has been well over 500, excluding the Imagine charter school and pre-K programs.

“The BEBR high figures actually are accurate to where we are now,” Bott said. “But after meeting with stakeholders we agreed to be as conservative as possible.”

But Annamaria Long, the executive officer of the Flagler Home Builders Association, said the School Board’s impact fee increase is anything but conservative.

Long questions the student growth projections and said current construction challenges involving supply and labor shortages are preventing homes being built at the rate the study suggests.

“Houses are not being built fast enough to support 4,000 students coming into the area,” said Long, citing the high BEBR figure.

“Lumber prices and availability are worse than we’ve ever seen them.

We’re seeing lead times on flooring, cabinets, counter tops, appliances, in some cases as much as four times of what we’re used to.”

Construction costs are already higher than ever and doubling school impact fees will only price more would-be home owners out of the market, Long said.

School impact fees for single-family homes are going up from $3,600 to $7,175, multi-family homes from $931 to $1,774 and mobile homes from $1,066 to $5,279.

“People who move here from more expensive areas, they have the money,” she said. “But residents already here, they’re the ones who will suffer, like adult children saving for a home of their own. Rental rates are already astronomical and they will increase because the multifamily impact fee is being raised as well.”

The impact fee increases will allow the school district to carry out its five-year plan to build an addition on Matanzas High School to put it more in line with Flagler Palm Coast’s capacity and to study the need for a new middle school, Bott said.

“There is not a mechanism to create money for student stations without impact fees unless you borrow money and pay over time,” said Flagler County School Board Chairman Trevor Tucker.

Tucker said the new state law limiting impact fee increases has sent a sense of urgency across municipalities and school districts.

“A lot of people haven’t raised their impact fees in a long time,” he said. “So what has happened is people have raised (them) really quick. The state really needs to have a systematic way to do this. But what we have is, ‘This is your time frame, you have to have extraordinary circumstances and a study to prove it,’ which we did.”

Long wonders why another study by Davis Demographics, commissioned by the School Board just a year ago, showed just a 2% growth over the next 10 years.

Bott said that study didn’t include all of the ITT platted lots.

“I don’t know why people are moving here,” Tucker said, “but they definitely are.”

Since the last school impact fee increase 17 years ago, a student station’s cost has gone up about $10,000 for elementary and middle schools and $13,000 for high schools, the study shows.

The school district was required to hold public workshops in advance of the board’s vote to raise fees. Long said the FHBA was happy to have a seat at the table, but the group’s concerns weren’t necessarily heard.

“There’s a misconception that big bad builders don’t pay their part,” she said. “They do pay their part, sometimes in high numbers.”

“There is not a mechanism to create money for student stations without impact fees unless you borrow money and pay over time.”

CITY WATC H

Council wants more deputies, lower tax rate

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Council appoints five to Redistricting Commission

Flagler County for another 15 deputies.

Mayor David Alfin asked a city staff member at the meeting how the administration had come settled on six as the number for new sheriff’s deputies: The council itself hadn’t specifically determined a number. The answer was that the city administration had looked at projected revenue estimates and calculated that it could afford six. Adding four more would cost an extra $456,000.

“I would very much like to see us reduce the millage rate modestly due to the economic circumstances of the present moment,” Alfin said, “... and increase the number of sheriff’s deputies that we can find room for in our budget.”

He asked city staff to take another look at the way the

city is handling its reserves, to ensure that it’s not being overly conservative.

“I agree 100% with your comments,” Councilman Ed Danko said. “I do believe we need to increase our deputy sheriffs, and I do believe we need to roll back this millage rate a bit.” He noted that the administration’s proposed budget includes many new hires. “That may be a place to start,” he said.

Councilman Barbosa agreed.

Councilman Branquinho was the only councilman to explicitly oppose a millage rate decrease, suggesting that the $20 or so it would save homeowners on their tax bills may be outweighed by the city services that would be lost without that tax revenue.

Palm Coast’s City Council members have chosen five local residents to serve on a commission that will examine the population trends and district boundaries in light of results from the 2020 census, which determined that the city’s population has risen by 14,000 over the last decade.

The five appointees are: Dr. Carlton, Fernando Melendez, Steve Davidson, Mike Martin and Bonnie Pennington.

The Redistricting Commission will determine if the city’s district boundaries need to shift for the city to maintain compliance with state law.

Each council member could select one resident for the board.

The commission will meet a handful of times, then present its recommendations to the City Council.

Palm Coast’s City Council members would like to lower the property tax rate slightly for the coming year but increase funding for law enforcement, echoing in an Aug. 24 budget workshop sentiments voiced a week before by their counterparts on the County Commission, who hope to do the same thing.

Because property values have increased since last year, if the council were to hold the tax rate steady, the same rate would bring in a higher dollar amount of tax revenue than the city received last year.

Council members on Aug. 24 considered a proposed $247.7 million city budget that would include funding for six new Sheriff’s Office deputies.

The sheriff had requested funding from Palm Coast for 10 deputies, and from

Q+A TREVOR TUCKER, SCHOOL BOARD CHAIRMAN

‘The unstoppable future’ On meeting interruptions and uniforms What’s the future of the uniform policy?

BRIAN MCMILLAN

BRIAN MCMILLAN

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

David Alfin, Palm Coast’s fourth mayor, spoke with the Palm Coast Observer in August, saying that he feels “communication through the media is extremely important.”

As chairman of the Flagler County School Board, Trevor Tucker’s job is to make sure the public is heard and that the agenda items are covered during meetings. What happens when those making public comments don’t follow the rules of decorum? And why are the rules in place?

Tucker, who has been on the board since 2010, spoke with the Palm Coast Observer on Aug. 18, the day after a School Board meeting had to be stopped, temporarily, due to the audience’s refusal to follow the attorney’s direction.

See the video version and other episodes of “Observations” at https://www.youtube. com/user/PalmCoastObserver/ videos.

Do you see your main job as mayor to preserve what we have, or to take the city in a new direction?

My role is to choose what’s best about Palm Coast and transition it to the unstoppable future of Palm Coast — quality of life being the theme.

We can’t stop growth. It’s coming. What we need to do is make sure that we protect those things that are most valuable to the largest number of residents and make sure they’re well planned for the future.

Why does it matter if people park a work truck in a driveway?

I’m not in favor of a driveway becoming additional advertising or a bulletin board.

If a brokerage decided they had 100 agents and they wanted some additional advertising, they could conceivably wrap 100 vehicles and have every one of those vehicles park in residential neighborhoods to promote their business. I’m not sure the residential neighborhoods should

suffer with that.

I’m sympathetic to the commercial tradesmen who have no place to park their commercial vehicle in the evening. I would like to help them. So I think what I might suggest is that we increase the size of the magnetic signage. Meet in the middle.

You have said you want to start an Economic Development Council. What does that mean?

I’m interested in a public private partnership. I’m not sure government by itself is a strong enough economic driver. Private industry has a much larger incentive to bring in the type of businesses that would help their own businesses, a natural incentive. And also, most astute business people in the area understand that if you bring in the right businesses, it will lift everyone’s businesses.

I always fall back on MedNexus for that. It’s dream of mine to search for and court related business models to Town Center.

For example: small laboratories or research firms, or smaller pharmaceutical companies.

someone gets up and they get booed, is that person ever going to want to get up again? So we have no clapping, no response from the audience, no response from the School Board. It’s not a question-and-answer time; it’s a time for the School Board to hear comments from the public.

We do want to hear from the public, but we don’t want to hear from the public all night long, because we would never get the business done.

This is the first time we’ve ever had to ask a crowd to leave.

Do you sympathize with the people who are opposed to a mask mandate at schools?

Let’s talk about the Aug. 17 School Board meeting. What happened?

A little bit. Personally, I don’t like to wear a mask. ... You don’t mess with (state guidelines). Two districts in the state messed with it, and you don’t know what those consequences are going to be.

The state even hinted at removing School Board members and superintendents. That’s a big deal. (Editor’s Note: Tucker voted against a mask mandate at the Aug. 17 meeting.)

During public comment, we have rules that we expect everyone to follow, and some of those rules weren’t followed, and they continued to not be followed after so many warnings, so we asked to clear the room so people can be heard in public comment, so that there’s not intimidation.

That’s what you worry about with public comment. If you have people clapping, and then

PALM COAST VFW POST 8696

As long as people are being educated, I don’t care what the children wear, as long as it’s appropriate and not offensive.

I’ve never voted for a uniform policy. I don’t want to change it every year, though.

Flagler Schools’ half-penny sales tax, which helps to keep schools up to date with technology, is about to expire.

Why should voters renew it?

Our district was really ahead during the pandemic, because we didn’t have to order laptops. It was really fluid, especially with Remote Live last year, because if students did get quarantined, they could hop online and watch their class.

I’m hoping it (gets renewed).

If not, we will probably not have technology in our district the way we have it now. It wouldn’t reach all the way down to the elementary level.

What is a rule of leadership you try to follow?

Give everyone a chance to speak, and be consistent.

What have you learned about this community as a School Board member?

As long as people are happy, you don’t hear from them. If something isn’t going right, you hear from a lot of individuals.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 2021

Dear Editor: I was one of maybe five people wearing a mask at the School Board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 17. Unsurprisingly, I was met with harassment and hostility.

For 90 minutes, in-person public comments were made, mostly in opposition of maskwearing, quarantining or both.

These anti-maskers continued to cheer and applaud after each comment they agreed with, and jeer after each one they did not, despite warnings from officials.

This happened six or seven times before Attorney Kristy Gavin finally decided to evacuate the chambers.

While the majority of antimaskers were ignoring police officers and others’ requests to exit the chambers, I waited out in the lobby for order to be restored. During this time, a loud woman and an olderlooking man approached me with a large sign that read “You keep your mask and I’ll keep my freedom.” They both repeatedly yelled at me and another mask-wearing person to stay home (obviously misunderstanding that most people cannot choose to stay home during a deadly pandemic because their livelihood depends on leaving their homes). Then, the man proceeded to purposefully cough on me, which is a form of assault.

After a few coughs, I turned to a nearby police officer and asked him to ask the man to stop coughing on me. He

rolled his eyes at me, turned to the coughing anti-masker, and gave him a very unconvincing “stop” in a monotone voice before walking away. It was then that I realized just how hostile this environment was.

Despite this, I was determined to stay so that I could deliver my second public comment after School Board member Colleen Conklin was unsuccessful in her motion to mandate masks.

After delivering my second public comment, a woman pointed her finger at me and loudly whispered, “Shame on you,” as I walked away.

At the end of the meeting, School Board member Jill Woolbright implied that people who are in favor of masks are in the minority, calling us “keyboard warriors’’ because we didn’t show up to this meeting. But it’s no wonder I was only one of five people in attendance in favor of masks. Would you voluntarily attend a meeting where grown adults scream threats into microphones, blatantly ignore law enforcement officers’ requests, and assault mask-wearers with forced coughs?

Will I attend the next one?

Absolutely. And I encourage anyone who is able to join me in the fight to do what’s right for the public health and safety in our schools.

Get involved in your child’s education Dear Editor: Parents, find out what’s happening in your child’s school. Please start going to School Board workshops and meetings. Find out when/ where at www.flaglerschools. com. At the Aug. 17 School Board meeting, some parents’ emails were read, stating that they wanted masks, but many parents/grandparents in attendance voiced their support for no mask wearing at school. It was among the largest audiences in years.

School Board member Colleen Conklin tried to get a mandatory resolution for students to wear masks, even though Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an order that gave parents a choice concerning mask wearing.

This is not an issue of science, as kids do not spread the virus readily to other kids or to adults. (See Editor’s Note below.)

In March 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that “masks are not as effective as you may think.” That’s the science. (See Editor’s Note below.)

Masks cause positive harm to children by impeding breathing; they cause headaches, dizziness, anxiety, reduced ability to concentrate and they lead to reduced cognitive function. Science says a mask works for only 20 minutes due to saturation. It then becomes ineffective and the dangers to your child are increased. Parents, consider mask wearing carefully. Look into multiple sources for

the truth! (See Editor’s Note below.)

Other issues come up at board meetings, such as, parents rights, allowing transgender students to choose their bathroom according to what gender they identify with that day. How is that policy monitored? Pay attention to what your child is being taught. Check their homework. Does it fit your family values? Does it teach pride in America? Does it teach brotherly love among all races or does it build on racial divide which encourages racial tensions. Please get involved!

PATTY QUICK Palm Coast

Editor’s Note: Based on a study in Pediatrics, in July 2020, scientists concluded that children “are far less important drivers” of transmission of the coronavirus than adults. After further research, in August 2021 in JAMA Pediatrics, scientists concluded that children are actually even more likely than adults to spread COVID. Similarly, Fauci was skeptical of masks in March 2020, but as more data became available, he changed his recommendations, as did the Centers for Disease Control; now, both recommend masks.

The positive effects of wearing masks outweigh any possible negative effects, according to the American Lung Association, the CDC, the American Medical Association and many other medical organizations.

Three arrested for possession of child pornography John Gardner, 71, and two teenage males were arrested Aug. 20 on charges of Possession of Child Pornography.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the subjects’ online activity from a CyberTip that came from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which alerts law enforcement agencies to cases of sexual exploitation of children on the internet.

During the investigation, detectives served search warrants on the subjects’ homes, and several electronics and media storage devices were seized.

More than 15 terabytes of data were analyzed to recover the pornographic images of children.

Arrest warrants were obtained after three separate and lengthy investigations were conducted by Detective Dennis Lashbrook of the Cyber Crimes Unit in partnership with the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

The first case was started in May 2020.

“Detective Lashbrook of our Cyber Crimes Unit did a great job in building these strong cases,” Sheriff Rick Staly said.

“This type of disgusting behavior of exploiting children on the internet will not be tolerated in our community and is exactly why I started our Cyber Crimes/ ICAC Unit. This is also why parents need to monitor their children’s electronic devices and social media accounts and be the sheriff in their homes. I’d like to thank the Cyber Crimes Unit detectives for their great investigative work and the North Florida ICAC Task Force for their assistance with these cases.”

All three subjects were arrested and transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. Gardner is being charged with 50 counts of Possession of a Controlled View of Sexual Performance by a Child .

The teens are being charged with three and six counts, respectively. They were processed at the jail and then the Department of Juvenile Justice ordered them released to the custody of their parents while awaiting trial.

Drug house closed down on Wedgewood Lane

Man arrested after strangling pet cat Darren Kuback, 53, was arrested Aug. 17 after a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office investigation determined that he had strangled the family cat to death.

The reporting party called 911 on Aug. 11, believing that Kuback was having a mental emergency.

She said he killed the family cat with his hands. Upon deputies’ arrival, Kuback was standing in the driveway asking to go to the hospital and saying, “It’s too late.”

The reporting party said that when she’d returned to the home that day, Kuback’s bedroom door was shut and locked.

Kuback exited the bedroom with the dead cat in his hands and laid it on the floor at the front door and said he wanted to go to the hospital. He had blood on his hands.

The reporting party said Kuback had not been acting normal for two weeks, and that she was planning on taking him to the hospital. She described previous incidents when Kuback threatened to kill her and harm himself. She did not know why he’d want to hurt the cat,

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit, with the assistance of the FCSO SWAT Team, executed a narcotics search warrant on Wednesday, Aug. 18, at 44 Wedgewood Lane in Palm Coast, shutting down a drug house.

After a search of the residence, detectives seized fentanyl, oxycodone and othr drugs.

“If you are a poison peddler in Flagler County, we are coming for you next,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Our SIU and SWAT team did another great job, and now these drug dealers have a new room at the Green Roof Inn. If you suspect drug dealing that is ruining your quality of life in your neighborhood send us a tip to: Tips@flaglersheriff.com.”

The targets of this investigation, Erik Zimmerman and Samantha Zimmerman, were arrested on multiple drug charges and held on bond of $15,500 each.

Additional charges are pending and this investigation is ongoing.

because it was his cat and he loved it.

Kuback was taken to Halifax Hospital under a Baker Act. On Aug. 13, a veterinarian from the University of Florida performed a necropsy, and the death was ruled strangulation.

“This incident is a textbook example of how people escalate to more serious crimes,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “This guy needs help, and unfortunately it was too late for his family pet. This type of behavior could be an early warning sign that something else is going on and is often how more serious crime starts. I hope the courts order him to get the help he needs before he seriously hurts or kills a human.”

Kuback was arrested Aug. 17 and is being charged with Felony Animal Cruelty.

Dear Editor: The hot topic of the Aug. 17 Flagler School Board meeting was mandated versus optional mask-wearing in schools.

It was my first viewing of a board meeting and maybe my last. It was little more than an unruly freak show. So much so that the Sheriff’s Office had to clear the room of rowdy hardcore anti-maskers.

It was actually scary to experience the bizarre mindsets and wild claims of the parade of speakers so adamant to discard science, facts and even common sense, and then realize that they actually walk among us in our community.

And it was even scarier that three of the board members were unwilling to support a mask mandate, apparently following the lead of the board’s grand poobah of pseudo-science and misinformation, Janet McDonald, and recklessly voted down mask-mandates. The board, an entity tasked with provid-

Dear Editor: Citizens of Flagler County are abuzz about the Aug. 17 School Board meeting. Our Sheriff’s Office served us very well.

A volcanic eruption of fear and anger created such chaos at the meeting that, if the deputies were not so familiar with many of the parties involved, the completion of our local School Board meeting may have instead ended in public shame. Bitterness, understandably so, has called for resignations, firings and lawsuits.

Dear Editor: What I witnessed at the Aug. 17 meeting was much different from what is being said by liberals. The meeting was well attended. There were numerous parents and grandparents commenting on mask mandates in our public schools because they care about their children! Unfortunately, many choose not to do the research but only believe all the left-leaning media reports.

Probably the comments that hit the School Board hard were from parents of a 12-year-old boy who had been removed from his class and put in a quarantine room until his mother picked him up. It was not until two days later that the parents got a call from the health department with not much solid information — only that their son may have been exposed to COVID and then tried for several minutes to “sell them” on getting their son vaccinated.

He is now out of school for eight days because of not getting vaccinated! He’s a child! The father of this student spoke after

his wife and just let them know it was not OK to come after his children in such a way; he then asked each School Board member for an apology. They said nothing.

Yes, that angered him, and he raised his voice like most parents who care about their children should do. This was considered threatening behavior.

If these School Board members, who were voted on to serve the people, cannot answer hard questions about what is going on in these schools and cannot take criticism, then they are sitting in the wrong seats, and we need to ensure that is changed.

One parent spoke about a speaker they had at Flagler Palm Coast High School in a welcome rally for incoming ninth graders the first day of school. That speaker was talking about equity and, according to what the parent heard, told the students it was OK to be transgender; the majority of parents are not OK with that being discussed with their children in school.

Again, the board seemed to know nothing. Shameful!

For the School Board attorney to take over the meeting and tell everyone to leave and then call for deputy back-up was unnecessary. There were no threats, just some very concerned parents and grandparents. There were 12 deputy cars out front; what a waste of taxpayer money!

We, as American people, need to wake up and see/understand what is being done to our country!

Matanzas super sophs run over Wolfson in Kickoff Classic BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

I

f Matanzas’ kickoff Classic victory was any indication, coach Matt Forrest’s air raid system might evolve into a ground attack this season.

The Pirates scored five rushing touchdowns — all by sophomores — in a 42-22 victory over Jacksonville Wolfson on Friday, Aug. 20, at Pirates Stadium.

“We’re a little bit different dynamic team,” Forrest said after the game.

Shomarion Gaines and Dakwon Evans each ran for two touchdowns in the first half, while Jordan Mills darted 75 yards for a score in the third quarter.

“We still have the ability to throw it around, but we’ve also got some good running backs, and honestly, our offensive line with five new starters was a bright spot

tonight,” Forrest said.

Mills’ electrifying touchdown run followed a Wolfson score that had pulled the Wolfpack to within a touchdown at 29-22. Landon Grover added two field goals for Matanzas. Evans and Bryce Petlett each got snaps at quarterback, and Forrest was pleased with both of their performances.

“They have totally different skill sets,” Forrest said. “Dakwon made plays and Bryce made plays, both in their own games. It’s my job to figure out what gives us the best chance to win.”

Evans, who started at slot receiver as a freshman last year, showed off his running ability with two scores but threw a picksix on his first passing attempt.

“I think Bryce Petlett is more of your traditional pro passer quarterback. Dakwon has the ability to sit in the pocket. He’s just not as comfortable,” Forrest said. “We’re talking about a kid who missed some practice time and we had to throw him back in. He’s learning as

he goes. I think the competition is making each one of them better.”

Gaines scored from midfield on the first play of the game. He added a 1-yard run in the first quarter.

“I got good blocking,” he said of his first score. “It was a run to the right. I got the ball, I saw somebody coming for me and No. 8, Noah Cundiff, blocked from the inside, and I took the ball outside and used my speed to go make the touchdown. That started it all.”

An interception by Mills set up

Evans’ second TD run.

Luke Doner’s two first-quarter sacks helped set the tone of the game.

“The defense I thought played really well,” Forrest said. “Twenty-two points and seven of those were on a pick six. We’re just so young. Our linebackers the whole second half were two freshmen.”

It could get more difficult for the young Pirates in their season opener on Aug. 27, when they travel to Pedro Menendez.

Haley Olson has been watching Matanzas High’s bowling team practice and compete for two years.

Now she’s on the team herself. Haley, who is autistic, is also a member of the Matanzas cheerleading squad. Both activities have helped her social skills and self-confidence, her mother, Jackie Olson, said.

Her new teammates and competitors have benefited as well.

“She’s always giving happy vibes,” said Flagler Palm Coast bowler Emma Pezullo, who bowled next to Haley on the first day of practice as the two teams practice next to each other at Palm Coast Lanes.

Now they seek each other out.

“She’s a really good person, a good person to be around,” Emma

Haley Olson sits with Matanzas girls bowling coach Tony Benvenuto.

“When she bowls that strike, she has that nice little whoo and claps twice. It’s just neat to see.”

JENS OLIVA, the Matanzas boys bowling coach

said. “When we’re done bowling, I ask her to come over and bowl with me.”

Haley, a sophomore, has been bowling for five or six years, her mom said.

“She would tell us when she was younger, ‘I want to go bowling.’ We take her bowling everyday now,” Jackie said. “It allows her to be with others, without judgment.”

Jens Oliva, the Matanzas boys bowling coach, remembers watching Haley bowl when the high school teams were practicing.

When he found out she was going to attend Matanzas this year, she and Pirates girls coach Tony Benvenuto encour-

aged her to join the team.

“Haley and her mom were there every day for the past two years,” Oliva said. “When she bowls that strike, she has that nice little whoo and claps twice. It’s just neat to see.”

Haley doesn’t use the ball’s finger or thumb holes. She tosses the ball underhanded down the alley and usually hits or is close to the pocket. Her average is about 120.

“She’s really good at bowling,” Emma said. “I’ve tried doing that myself without my fingers in the holes, and it’s very hard.”

Emma is Haley’s first best friend, Jackie said.

“Kids with autism don’t always have friends,” Jackie said. “She doesn’t get invited to birthday parties. She loves this because she’s part of the team and it doesn’t matter that she has a disability. The best thing about it is she’s accepted by her peers and she belongs here.”

What does Haley think?

“It’s fun being a Pirate,” she said.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your loving wife, Sally

Mary Jane Knopf 1933-2021 Mary Jane Knopf, 88, of Palm Coast passed away on August 9, 2021. She was a loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be missed by her family.

Mrs. Knopf was a resident of Palm Coast since 1993, moving from Bayport New York.

She was born in Niles Michigan on July 20, 1933 and spent her first six months in an orphanage before being adopted by Elizabeth and Clarence Oswald. She grew up in Niles and graduated from Niles High School in 1950. She enjoyed gardening and was well-know for her green thumb. Jane raised award winning roses on Long Island, and then transitioned to orchids once in Florida.

She loved being outside and spending time with her family. Her husband, Theodore Knopf, preceded her in death in 2020. They were married in 1955. She is survived by her brother Dale Oswald and wife Phyllis; her children Susan Knopf, David Knopf and wife Deborah, and Timothy Knopf. As well, she had five grandchildren and four great granddaughters. In lieu of flowers, Jane’s family requests memorial donations be made to the Second Harvest food bank.

Arrangements are by Craig-Palm Coast Funeral Home.

After 12 seasons, 239 victories and nine playoff appearances, Javier Bevacqua is stepping down as Flagler Palm Coast’s girls’ basketball coach.

Bevacqua said he accepted a new position with the school as an Individualized Education Plan writer in the Exceptional Student Education department and no longer has enough time to devote to the basketball program.

“It was like making a choice between doing something well or doing two things not to their full potential,” he said.

Bevacqua, who will continue to coach FPC’s girls’ tennis team, said he also wants to spend more time with his family. He has two children, ages 16 and 11.

“I was coaching before they were born,” said Bevacqua, who coached girls’ basketball for nearly 13 years in New York before moving to Florida. “As a family we don’t know what a Thanksgiving break is, what a Christmas break is, what a summer break is because you have camps throughout the summer.

“Everyone sees basketball season, but they don’t realize the other eight months that go into preparation.”

Bevacqua’s teams won 239 games with 119 losses. His Bulldogs won four district titles, four regional championships and advanced to the Final Four in 2015. That season he was named Class 8A Coach of the Year by the Florida Association of Basketball Coaches.

FPC athletics director Steve DeAugustino said, “He ran the program the way it should be run.”

During the Final Four season, the Bulldogs reached a No. 25 national ranking by USA Today.

“That was big-time for a little school in Palm Coast,” he said.

Many of his former players went on to play college basketball including Tamara Henshaw (University of South Florida), who helped lead the Bulldogs to the Final Four as a junior; Armani Walker (Bethune-Cookman University); Ivana Boyd (Lamar/Flagler College); Skye Green (UNC Asheville/ Texas Southern) and Brianna Ellis (University of New Orleans).

Flagler Beach restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch with indoor and sidewalk dining BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Travis Sundell had been in the restaurant business for 15 years, so he knows running an eatery is not conducive to raising a family.

He got out of the business 14 years ago when his oldest son was 2. Now he’s opened a new restaurant.

But the new endeavor – SunBros Café at 301 Moody Blvd. in Flagler Beach – is a family affair.

Travis runs the business and does some of the cooking. His wife, Leigh Anne, bakes the pastries. Their oldest son, Abrien, 16, is the barista. And Anisen, 9, wipes down tables and helps out.

“This is our first full-own restaurant,” said Travis, who bought the building with his brother, Dan. “We always talked about doing something on our own, in a coffee shop style.”

But the building they bought has a full kitchen and a second room for a bar area, so now they have a beachside coffee shop with a full breakfast and lunch menu.

They have tables inside and during the day put tables outside

SunBros Cafe is a family affair with (seated from left) Leigh Anne, Travis, Abrien and Anisen (standing) Sundell. “We’re one of the few places you can get a good cappuccino and a club sandwich,” Travis said.

on the sidewalk in front on Moody Avenue, and they’re building a patio and outdoor bar area in the back on South Daytona Avenue.

“We want that European feel,” Travis said. “Everywhere you go eat in Germany is outside.”

Currently they are open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the week and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. They will have a full liquor license, Travis said, and eventually they want to serve dinner but not stay open late at night.

Kaldi’s Coffee Roasting Co. out of St. Louis supplies SunBros with gourmet coffee.

“We’re one of the few places you can get a good cappuccino and a club sandwich,” Travis said.

The club sandwich, said Abrien, “is what a sandwich should be,”

Rated #1

with hand-carved turkey and ham, bacon and tomato with avocado, instead of mayonnaise.

That’s one of their many twists.

“We have avocado toast,” Travis said. “A lot of other people do that, but we put bacon and eggs on top.”

They have espresso, macchiato, lattes and teas. Leigh Anne’s specialties are her cinnamon rolls and coffee cakes.

They have waffles and biscuits with sausage gravy, burgers and salads that don’t skimp.

“You’re full when you’re done eating our Cobb or chef salad,” Travis said.

They have breakfast sandwiches, including the Florida Heater — egg and sausage with habanero, jalapeno and poblano peppers with pepper jack cheese on a bagel.

One thing they don’t have on the menu is seafood because their next-door neighbor is the Flagler Fish Co. Travis said they don’t want to be Flagler Fish owner Chris Casper’s competitor.

SunBros has been closing off the second room during the day.

Travis said they would like to open it for community groups to use in the mornings.

“We’re open to different things like that, like if someone wants to have an art class,” he said.

On some days they have had live music.

SUNBROS CAFÉ Where: 301 Moody Blvd., Flagler Beach When: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends, closed Tuesdays.

Menu: Coffee, tea, smoothies, pastries, full breakfast menu, sandwiches and wraps, salads, burgers.

“We don’t want it to be like a library where everyone has to be quiet,” Abrien said.

“We’re fortunate to have this inside space to do some of that stuff,” Leigh Anne said.

The Sundells are from Central Illinois, where Travis was a public works superintendent for the small town of Delavan. He was also on the School Board. Travis’ brother, Dan, lives in St. Augustine.

They’ve been open for about three months and have done no advertising other than Facebook.

But through word-of-mouth they have a group of diehard regulars, Travis said. They have 15 employees including cook Ryan McLean and several high school students.

“Our goal is to put out quality food,” Leigh Anne said.

“We want to try to make it the same every time,” said Travis.

Three new developments proposed NEWS EDITOR

The northernmost of the three is Colbert Landings, which would encompass 294 acres divided into two plots, one northern and one southern, on the west side of Colbert Lane north of State Road 100.

The land had been slated for a planned unit development in 2005, but infrastructure work halted when the recession hit, and the property was sold to a new owner in 2020.

The city approved a rezoning for the land from planned unit development to single-family residential in March.

The developer presented a subdivision master plan to the city’s Planning and Land Development Regulation Board on Aug. 18, seeking approval for 482 singlefamily lots at a density of 1.64 units per acre.

SEMINOLE POINTE

To the southwest, another developer hopes to transform 72 acres of vacant land on the north side of the intersection of Seminole Woods Boulevard and U.S. 1, just south of the Integra Woods apartment complex, into a multifamily community of up to 653 units.

The developer hopes to submit a master site plan to the city within about 60 days, attorney

SEMINOLE TRAILS

Another development has been proposed for the east side of Seminole Woods Boulevard, this one about 2.5 miles south of State Road 100.

The development will be a planned community, with sidewalks and private amenities.

“There’s a certain demand out there for that, and this proposed project will address those types of demands,” city Senior Planner Jose Papa said.

The proposal is in its early stages. The planning board approved a rezoning from master-planned development to single-family residential, along with a Future Land Use Map amendment from a mixed-use designation to a residential-use designation.

A site-specific policy would limit development on the 70-acre site to 227 units, at a density of three units per acre.

Three proposed new Palm Coast residential developments received the city planning board’s initial vote of approval Aug. 18 and could bring as many as 1,362 new units to the city.

Michael Chiumento told planning board members at the meeting.

The homes would be duplexes, triplexes and other “horizontal multifamily,” Chiumento said, divided into two phases of construction, with the first including about 180 homes.

The planning board approved a rezoning the developer had requested for part of the land, transforming it from master planned development and general commercial zoning to a mixture of residential and high-intensity commercial. The commercial land would face U.S. 1, while the residential community would share an entrance road with Integra Woods.

Why “FREE” when it comes to a hearing test isn’t always a good deal

BY: DR. INDIRA ALVAREZ

Because of the advertising and messaging around hearing aids and hearing care in general, many people tend to think of hearing aids like a commodity, in which regardless of where or how you get one, the outcome is the same. When it comes to hearing care however, it is not that simple.

Over the next few months, we will be looking at the keys to success with hearing aids and why they are important when treating your hearing loss and living the best life you can.

First, you must have a comprehensive hearing evaluation, preferably by a Doctor of Audiology, especially if you have never had a hearing exam before. Although

TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH HEARING AIDS, THERE ARE FOUR KEY STEPS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN.

1

A COMPREHENSIVE HEARING EVALUATION

2

SELECTION OF THE “RIGHT” HEARING AID

3 4

ACCURATE AND APPROPRIATE HEARING AID FITTING, VERIFIED TO YOUR PRESCRIPTION USING REAL EAR MEASURES COMPREHENSIVE AURAL REHABILITATION AND FOLLOW-UP AFTER THE HEARING AID FITTING

for most patients the most appropriate treatment for their hearing loss is in fact amplification (hearing aids), for some patients there are other underlying conditions which can affect your diagnosis. For example, if you have an anatomical abnormality behind the ear drum, or a history of recurrent ear infections; these types of problems are often not

visible from looking in the ear or simple tone testing. Advanced testing and evaluation by a Doctor of Audiology will reveal this type of issue and he or she will be able to make the referral for surgical correction if appropriate. In my 15 years of clinical practice, I have identified many patients who inadvertently purchased hearing aids when what they needed was a simple surgical procedure to correct their hearing loss. They ended up in my office unsatisfied with their devices when the problem had nothing to do with the hearing aids, and unfortunately at that point the surgical option was no longer appropriate. In addition, a

comprehensive diagnostic evaluation provides the basis for the recommendation as to the right hearing aids and the data for the prescription and fitting of the hearing aids, if that is in fact the appropriate solution to the hearing loss. If the exam is not complete, then some of this crucial information is not available and therefore not considered during the hearing aid selection and fitting. This can result in choosing the wrong hearing aid, and or fitting the devices incorrectly since the prescription is derived from the hearing test results. Hearing evaluations require precisely calibrated equipment, a sound treated booth, and an experienced and qualified professional to administer the test. As with all other medical specialties, like podiatry or optometry, qualified competent audiologists must be compensated for their expertise and the cost for the equipment and facilities required to provide those services.

In actuality, most insurances cover a comprehensive exam with an audiologist, with either no out-ofpocket cost to you or a small co-pay,

depending on your plan.

So, if you see “FREE HEARING TESTS”, make sure you are asking about the qualifications and details about what you are actually getting for “FREE”. It may not be as good a deal as it seems.

Your hearing health and quality of life are too important!

If you suspect you have hearing loss or wear hearing aids, I am sure you have seen the myriad of ads in the paper touting “FREE HEARING TEST” or “FREE HEARING AID CLEAN & CHECK” ... at first glance, that can seem very appealing. Free is good right? Well, not always...
