$225,000

Amount the city will save per year for the next two years by switching to Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust as its insurance provider.

Don Kewley began working for the city of Palm Coast on July 1. He was hired to oversee all aspects of the city’s fiber infrastructure and to be the city’s first chief innovation officer, a newly created position.

He was introduced to the city when he applied to be the city manager, a position eventually given to current City Manager Matt Morton.

Kewley comes to Palm Coast from Ashland, Oregon, where he restructured and revitalized the city-owned fiber network, increasing the number of subscribers to the public network’s high speed internet by 45%. This helped Ashland achieve national recognition for its smart city initiatives.

“So much of Don’s previous technology experience aligns with the goals of the city of Palm Coast that he was a perfect fit to help our team through the next phase of our growth,” Morton said in a press release. “In addition to his work with our municipal fiber program, Don has other duties that will help us identify and leverage our current resources and infrastructure to maximize value to the community.”

Kewley is also responsible

Don Kewley

for growing third-party partnerships, enhancing smart city initiatives, overseeing the cell towers project, working with economic development teams and connecting broadband to local businesses and residents for better internet service.

“Since joining the city of Palm Coast,” Kewley said, “I’ve conducted an analysis of the city’s IT and telecommunications infrastructure and identified opportunities for improvement. I’m honored to lead the charge for building a smart city infrastructure that will provide best-in-class services to the community.”

Some of his planned projects include developing the

next stages of the Palm Coast Connect customer service platform and taking the drone program to the next level as a service of IT for maintenance flights of canals and providing video of major city events.

Kewley has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from California State University-Chico and an MBA from Pepperdine University with an emphasis in leadership and change management.

Born in Missouri and raised in Southern Oregon, Kewley joined the Army National Guard in Oregon after graduating high school. He also served in the California National Guard during the 1992 L.A. riots. He also had several stints of active duty and was deployed throughout the U.S. working forest fires and performing floodwater rescues.

Kewley is married with three sons and two grandchildren.

He is a certified rescue diver and licensed dive master, though he hasn’t explored the popular diving hot spots of the Sunshine State yet.

READER FEEDBACK The following comments were posted in response to a story on the Palm Coast Observer's Facebook page:

When prayer and government

collide

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

S

chool Board Chairman Janet McDonald would like to invite individuals affiliated with local social and faith communities to open School Board meetings with messages about what they do to support students — and with invocations, in the instances in which invited guests would like to provide them.

Other board members, speaking during the board’s Sept. 17 workshop, were less sure that’s a good idea, and asked for board attorney Kristy Gavin to gather more information to present to the board during a future workshop. Only one local government board within Flagler County — the Bunnell City Commission — regularly features invocations.

(Ten out of 10 recent regular Bunnell City Commission meeting videos posted to Bunnell’s YouTube channel feature Christian prayers.)

School Board members had been surprised at an Aug. 20 board meeting when a pastor invited by McDonald had delivered an invocation at the start of the meeting.

Board member Andy Dance called the invocation “kind of a major shift,” and one the board should discuss.

McDonald, in her comments at the Sept. 17 workshop, didn’t frame her intent as establishing a tradition of prayer, specifically.

The idea, she said, was for “community organizations, faith groups, social groups, that have links to our community” to have a chance to speak about what they do, and, in particular, about “how

they do a prevention leg of our mental health initiative, not just a response to emergencies.”

Dance suggested the board’s first step should be to consider whether it’s even interested in entertaining invocations or prayers.

“I would prefer we stay with the way that we were running the meetings, without reference to an invocation or prayer,” he said. “So if there are two others that would like to continue with tradition we’ve had moving forward, we can eliminate that from discussion and then talk about ways to do proper recognitions.”

He added that board meetings already have a regular feature that could be used to recognize community organizations at the beginning of each meeting.

“We recognize people at every meeting during spotlights for things that they contribute to the school district,” he said. “That’s what that’s available for.”

McDonald said her proposal could be included as a spotlight, but Dance replied that a spotlight is different from an invocation.

“A spotlight is just highlighting what they’re doing,” he said.

“So we have that already as an avenue.”

“I understand,” McDonald said.

“I felt that it was important to do, to follow the lead of the Legislature and maybe bring back what Bunnell does, what some of the other communities that I know about do. ... So that’s why we’re having this conversation, to see what the policies are. Obviously, it’s not something that you’re comfortable with.”

Dance paused, started to say something, then said he’d save it for another time.

“I think the other thing that just needs to be touched on, which led to a lot of the confusion, was agenda changes that aren’t part of our agenda review process,” he said.

“We have to make a conscious effort to follow the procedures that we have and avoid issues like this.

This all could have been avoided if we had followed the proper procedures that we painstakingly went through to set up how we gauge appropriateness for our meetings, by vetting them through our agenda review process.”

treated akin to legislative meetings. And so, as long as you make sure ... you’re not saying there are groups that we would be excluding, then you’re fine.”

‘AN INVOCATION THAT IS UNIVERSAL’

Photo by Jonathan Simmons

School Board Chairman Janet McDonald would like to invite individuals affiliated with local social and faith communities to open School Board meetings with messages about what they do to support students — and with invocations, in the instances in which invited guests would like to provide them.

“Thank you, I appreciate that; I had asked for it to be put on the agenda several times,” McDonald said. “The fact that it didn’t get put on; I’m sorry it didn’t get it put on.”

THE LEGALITIES OF PRAYERS BEFORE PUBLIC MEETINGS

Board attorney Kristy Gavin told board members the board would be within the law if it establishes invocations.

“School districts do it; it may not be called an invocation,” she said. “Even Duval County does it; they don’t call it an invocation.”

The Duval County School Board’s process, involving a “thought for the day” that may or may not be religious, has drawn complaints from the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Gavin said that the legal precedent pertaining to prayer at legislative bodies is different from the precedent concerning the permissibility of prayers at school functions such as graduations.

“That’s where they say you can’t do that,” she said. “But school board meetings have been

DOROTHY RAE SABBA Lori Young, we will be praying for you.

ANGELA BENVENUTO RAIMONDO Lori Young thank

you! Separation of church and state. I don't come into churches telling people what to do, so don't come to taxpayer funded schools and events and tell me what to do there.

JEREMY CRAMER Why are Stock image

School Board members divided on invocations before meetings.

LORI YOUNG You want prayer before meetings, go to church. I go to school board meetings to hear about school happenings. Not to sit through a prayer session that has zero to do with me.

And no, after working all day, I will not go wait in the hall.

You want to pray before a meeting, do it on your time, not board time.

Board member Colleen Conklin wasn’t entirely sure what McDonald was requesting.

“So it’s not, if I’m hearing correctly — is it an actual invocation? Or ... it could be an invocation, could be a thought of the day?” Conklin said.

It could be either, McDonald said.

Board member Trevor Tucker asked about the particulars of the procedure for inviting invocations.

Gavin said they would be prearranged. One school district, she said, called organizations listed in the phone book and asked if they’d offer an invocation.

“It sounds like that’s more staff time, so I’m going to say I’m not for it,” Tucker said.

McDonald said she didn’t think there would be any need to go through a list of community services.

Conklin said she’d like to hear more about how it could work.

“Because what I’m hearing is not a straight prayer,” she said.

“I don’t even know if it would be something called an invocation.”

Conklin said that she’d asked for a transcript of the invocation delivered at the previous board meeting, and had intended to read it during her comments at the conclusion of the Sept. 17 board meeting. (She did not end up doing so.)

“There was nothing that was stated in those comments that I can imagine anyone in the world disagreeing with. ... It was very universal,” she said. “Having someone from Kiwanis come to give the thought of the day, to me, is not a problem. To have someone come, whether it’s a rabbi or a pastor, provide a thought of the day or an invocation that is universal, I don’t see the harm in that. ... I’m curious to see what other districts are doing in that area.”

you trying to force prayer on someone? That is wrong. It’s like being bullied or racist.

You guys should be ashamed.

FRANCES SCHOFIELD LANGLEY Yes, we could all use

some prayers. The kids today have no respect for nothing.

Maybe that’s the problem with our schools. We need to bring back prayer.

ANNE JONES I think prayer

is wonderful. What's so bad in asking for a blessing on a meeting????? Nothing.

ALLISON ROGERS The school

board is not a religious organization so there should not be prayers before the meeting. They can have a moment of silence where people can pray if they want to or think about what kind of questions they want to ask during the meeting.

KRISTAN MAYER They should

start with the Pledge of Allegiance, then have a moment of silence. Those that choose to pray can; those that don’t want to pray sit in silence. Maybe if we had a little prayer in our schools we wouldn’t have to worry about the seriousness of school shootings and bullying and the list goes on and on; maybe if we had a little bit of prayer and discipline with the children and adults we wouldn’t have the problems that we have today in the United States!!

JOHN CHIESA No, no, no!!!

There is a reason for the separation of church and state. You are all free to pray whenever you want; it just can’t be sponsored and endorsed by a taxpayer funded facility. If people are comfortable with prayers, please tell me WHICH PRAYERS???

Christian? Muslim? Church of Satan? If one is picked, you’ve just violated the constitution. If parents want prayers in school, send your kids to the religious school of your choice!

Flagler County’s animals are getting additional legal protection — but not as much as Flagler Humane Society Executive Director Amy Carotenuto had hoped.

The County Commission on Sept. 16 approved an ordinance that bans animal cruelty and restricts the conditions under which people can tether their dogs outside unattended.

But the ordinance does allow unattended tethering, and was a revision of an earlier proposed ordinance that had largely banned unattended dog tethering. The commission had been scheduled to vote on the earlier version on Aug. 19, but decided to delay its vote after American Kennel Club Government Relations Regional Manager Patty Van Sicklen emailed commissioners stating the AKC’s opposition to the tethering ordinance, which, she wrote, did not “consider humane and necessary use of tethers.”

An issue paper attached to Van Sicklen’s email gives examples of what the AKC considers humane tethering: for instance, using a tether to confine an “escape-artist” dog to a fenced yard.

The AKC has opposed similar anti-tethering ordinances elsewhere.

County Administrator Jerry Cameron told board members during the Sept. 16 meeting that he had spoken with an AKC representative by phone and reached consent on the proposed ordinance, which was then revised to allow unattended dog tethering if the dog has access to shade and water and the tether isn’t a heavy chain or of a length that would cause the dog to be hanged by the tether if it jumped a fence.

But Carotenuto said cases in which dogs are tethered humanely aren’t the sort that come to the attention of the county’s Animal Control officers.

Speaking at the board meeting Sept. 16, she urged commissioners to reject the amended wording about tethering in the ordinance and instead use the original wording that had been presented at the August meeting.

“Dogs are very social creatures, just like you and I,” she said. “Life on the end of a chain is lonely, boring, frustrating torture.”

In addition, she said, chained dogs are three times more likely than unchained dogs to bite, as they can become territorial about their little patch of land, and, because of the chain, feel they can’t escape if threatened.

Four residents spoke to encourage commissioners to support the more restrictive wording in the original ordinance.

The commission approved the revised ordinance unanimously.

HUMANE SOCIETY’S POSITION “Very often, chaining the dog is just a portion of the neglect,” Flagler Humane Society Executive Director Amy Carotenuto said. “They suffer from inadequate feedings; they suffer from overturned water bowls.”

In one case, she said, the Flagler Humane Society weighed a chain that a dog had around its neck: It was 17 pounds, about half the weight of the dog. Dogs chained in a yard can become an afterthought for their owners, she said.

BRIEFS City approves budget, millage rate on first reading Palm Coast’s millage rate for this coming year will be the same as last year’s rate: 4.6989 mills, or $4.6989 per $1,000 of taxable value. Although the rate is the same, it’s also 6.15% over the rollback rate, or the rate which would have brought in the same dollar amount of tax money as was collected last year, of 4.2963.

The City Council approved the tentative millage rate and the city’s proposed $202,931,919 fiscal year 2020 budget 4-0 in a budget meeting Sept. 11. Mayor Milissa Holland was absent. The second and final budget meeting will be held at 5:05 p.m. Sept. 18.

“We continue to see a good healthy increase in our property tax values,” Financial Services Director Helena Alves told council members in a presentation at the meeting.

Planned expenditures for City Council priorities for the upcoming year include $950,000 for the city’s streetlight master plan, $26,000 for marketing, and $12,000 for the Shop Local campaign.

The largest fund increases compared to last year are in the Transportation Impact Fee Fund, which is increasing 413% to a total of $11,570,513 for 2020; the Recreation Impact Fee Fund, which is increasing 259% to $2,644,220; and the Streets Improvement Fund, which is increasing 62% to $8,496,000.

Despite resident opposition, commission OKs Beachwalk 3-2 The Hammock Community Association has opposed the proposed Beachwalk development, saying it’s out of character with the area.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The board chambers of the county’s Government Services Building filled up with shades of mint and grass green as dozens of Hammock Community Association members filled the audience wearing green shirts to show their opposition to a proposed 50-home development off State Road A1A. Still, a divided County Commission approved the proposal.

Commissioner Greg Hansen, whose district includes the Hammock, made known his opposition to the proposal — saying he had “a lot of problems with this” — early in the board’s discussion.

“The plan that they have is a good plan, except it has 50 houses in it,” Hansen said. “Take that same plan … and put 36 houses in it, and I’ll vote for it.”

As it is, he said, “It’s just going to ruin that part of the Hammock, so I’m just strongly against this; I think it’s the wrong thing to do.”

COMMISSIONER GREG HANSEN APPOINTED TO CANVASSING BOARD County Commissioner Greg Hansen has been appointed to serve on the Flagler County Canvassing Board for the 2020 elections.

The seat is traditionally assigned to the chairman of the Flagler County Commission — currently Donald O’Brien — but O’Brien is up for re-election and therefore ineligible to sit on the Canvassing Board.

Hansen, speaking during the commission’s Sept. 16 meeting, volunteered for the seat.

Commissioner Charlie Ericsken, whose seat is up for re-election but who is not

running, will serve as Hansen’s alternate.

Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart’s seat is also up for re-election, although Lenhart is so far the only one to register for the race.

The County Commission approved the appointment of Nicole Williams, the public affairs director for the Flagler County Association of Realtors, to take Lenhart’s place on the Canvassing Board if someone contests Lenhart in the Supervisor of Elections race.

— JONATHAN SIMMONS

The commission has seen proposals for the development, called Beachwalk, in the past, and had previously rejected it.

Jacksonville-based developer Ken Atlee told commissioners during the Sept. 16 meeting that his firm has now adapted Beachwalk based on community input.

“We gave up on many of the requested changes to work with the community in good faith,” Atlee said.

Atlee’s firm is under contract on the land.

He noted that the Beachwalk proposal involves extending a sewer line to the development, rather than using septic systems, and that if his proposal does not move forward, some other developer could put in septic systems on that land under the current zoning.

Many coastal areas are trying to move away from septic systems because of their tendency to leak into the soil, and, from there, into nearby water bodies.

About a dozen community

JESSE WARMKA'S HOME SELLING SYSTEM YOUR HOME SOLD IN 30 DAYS OR I'LL PAY YOU $1000 CASH*

members spoke during the meeting’s public comment period to voice their opposition to the proposal. Several said it would set a precedent for high-density development in the Hammock and that it doesn’t meet the requirements of a Planned Unit Development, the designation to which Atlee wants to have the land rezoned, because it doesn’t meet the PUD requirement of being “creative.”

“There’s nothing innovative about this; this is a housing development,” said resident Lynn Rosewater. “The requirement for a PUD has not been met, and if it’s not been met, you can not vote for it. ... They asked you for a PUD simply to get greater density.”

One resident, Pam Hathaway, said she’d moved to the Hammock from South Florida 17 years ago, and does not want to see Flagler County become as overdeveloped as the counties in the south of the state.

But the Flagler Chamber submitted a letter to the County Commission supporting the pro-

BUY • SELL • TRADE

“I’m very concerned about septic tanks; I don’t want to see them out there at all. I think they’re destroying our environment. ... The septic tank thing is a very serious thing.”

JOE MULLINS, commissioner, explaining one reason he voted for Beachwalk

posal, as did the Flagler Home Builders Association.

Commissioner Joe Mullins said the potential for the area to be developed by another developer using septic tanks if the Beachwalk proposal falls through worried him.

“I’m very concerned about septic tanks; I don’t want to see them out there at all,” he said. “I think they’re destroying our environment. ... The septic tank thing is a very serious thing.”

Hansen proposed a motion to deny the Beachwalk application, but he and Commissioner Charlie Ericksen were the only ones in favor of the motion to deny.

A motion to approve the proposal passed 3-2, with Hansen and Ericksen dissenting.

Prayer at meeting shows arrogance

LET T ERS

PalmCoastObserver.com

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2019

Dear Editor: The issue isn’t faith or prayer. The issue is the arrogance of an elected official who chose to ignore procedure (not placing the item on the agenda), chose to disregard common courtesy by not informing her fellow board members about what she planned to do, and chose to completely ignore public opinion.

This was a stunt, nothing more. She knew the media would cover it and it would garner support among those who believe their religion is the only “right” one. The fact that she allowed the minister to do a commercial for her particular church and faith after the prayer is proof of that. A moment of silence would have allowed everyone to pray according to their beliefs.

I wonder if the readers who rote in support of prayer at official meetings would be OK with a Buddhist, Muslim or Wiccan prayer at the next meeting.

Last, let’s be clear on the record: In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled that teachers were not allowed to lead prayer or Bible readings even if the activity was optional.

EDITH CAMPINS Palm Coast

Don’t make Jungle Hut an asphalt jungle Dear Editor: Beachwalk is a proposed development on Jungle Hut Road and A1A that is asking for 50 homes on 12.44 acres. In order to have this great a density the developer requested a PUD, a planned unit development, which allows for greater diversity, only if “The purpose and intent of the planned unit development PUD is to provide innovative urban design, creative and flexible concepts and protection of natural features and open spaces that strict interpretation of zoning regulations would otherwise inhibit.”

Beachwalk fails to meet these criteria for a PUD; Beachwalk also fails to meet the Comprehensive Plan requirement that “The design and construction of a PUD must be in harmony with Zoning District regulations and the Flagler County Compre-

getting ready to cross a street: “Look both ways” is still emblazoned in the mind of this 93-year-old. But, in our maturity and life experiences, we should exercise, as well, some very important tenets in order to avoid the wiles of unscrupulous building contractors who ply upon the lack of sophistication of both the senior and younger individuals who hire these individuals to do major work on their homes.

Had I and my late husband exercised “due diligence” or the Latin phrase, “caveat emptor” (let the buyer beware), I would not find myself in the untenable situation where a contractor was engaged to do a major restoration project and the end result is that the leak continues.

After the fact, I have embarked on a project of “due diligence.” From a complaint filed with the Department of Professional Regulation, I learned that any Tom, Dick or Harry can act as a contractor using the license of an individual who passed the state exam.

That becomes the loss to the homeowner when hiring such a person who presents his business card with a licensed contractor’s number.

Following the hiring of such an individual, the contractor must file for a permit, in my case, with the city of Palm Coast. But the Building Department does not require verification of any sort!

I wonder, at this point, who is minding the store at the permitting department in Palm Coast?

Only one councilman has met with me to look for answers. The mayor and other councilmen plus the city manager have been unresponsive to my email. Also I was not afforded the opportunity to meet with the supervisor of the Building Department when I met some months ago with the compliance supervisor.

But I am doggedly persistent and I will leave no stone unturned. Wrongs should not be swept under the rug, thus allowing this “pseudo contractor” to continue to operate as he has and to defraud the city and the individual homeowner.

City should verify contractors’ licenses

hensive Plan.”

In total there are eight different requirements (five from the Land Development Code and four from the Comprehensive Plan) that Beachwalk does not meet — especially the need for low density in the coastal areas. (Both A1A and Jungle Hut are designated scenic highways.)

In the first votes on Beachwalk (March 15, 2019) the commissioners unanimously voted “No,” on the site plan and “No, ” on whether Beachwalk met the criteria for a PUD. The developers then asked for a mediation. Then on July 25, the commissioners voted 3-2 to table Beachwalk. On Aug. 5, commissioners voted 4-1 to discuss Beachwalk on Aug. 13, but because of time necessary for notification that date was changed to Sept. 16.

Sean Moylan also wrote, on Feb. 8, to the developer’s attorney, that “a PUD cannot be used solely to gain a blanket of variances.” This is exactly how the developers of Beachwalk are using the PUD. I and the Hammock Community Association are quite disappointed that the Sept.

16 vote to approve Beachwalk (3-2) ignored the data presented that the plan did not qualify for a PUD. The county commissioners also followed Adam Mengel’s declaration that the area of Jungle Hut Drive and State Road A1A, ironically called Beachwalk, is “not a costal area,” and insisted “the area was not located between a designated a scenic road and open water.”

Therefore, the nine times mentioned in the Comprehensive Plan that there be the lowest density in costal areas were ignored. More disheartening is the lack of understanding about the uniqueness of The Hammock, which is one of last heavily wooded barrier islands in the east coast of the United States.

People come to visit for the natural beauty of “old Florida,” but allowing irresponsible development threatens its existence.

SEPT. 9

WHITE LIE KEEPS ON GOING 11:47 p.m. — 4900 block of Belle Terre Parkway False report of a crime. An 18-year-old woman got home later than expected and came up with a little fib to explain her tardiness to her boyfriend, saying she’d been pulled over in a strange traffic stop by an unmarked SUV while leaving the supermarket.

But the woman’s lie about a fake cop led to her being questioned by real ones after the boyfriend, suspecting the traffic stop wasn’t legit, reported it to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

Soon, actual deputies were arriving at the woman’s home asking for details — and the woman gave them plenty, concocting an elaborate tale about a tall, clean-shaven freckled man in his 30s, wearing cargo pants and a tactical vest that said “Sheriff,” who’d pulled her over using an SUV with blue and red lights on the front and falsely told her that her tail light and turn signals were out, and then let her go with a warning.

The next day, deputies checked surveillance footage from the supermarket, but the woman’s car never showed up. After one deputy confronted her, she insisted she’d been there, even adding that she’d bought a gallon of milk — store brand, 1% — with cash.

So deputies checked hours’ worth of the store’s interior footage. But she didn’t show up there, either. When confronted again, she at first insisted she wasn’t lying, but eventually said she’d made up the story and that she’d really just been “hanging out with some friends and lost track of time,” according to a deputy’s report.

“I commanded the operator to stop, to which he replied “F--- off,” the deputy wrote in a report.

When tracked down a second time, the cyclist was arrested.

Kennedy is in preschool now, and she experiences the typical ups and downs of any child experiencing school for the first time.

First, there is excitement about all things new. One Saturday morning I found her zipping up her pink backpack, declaring herself ready for Monday. If only all my children were this prepared and this excited about school ...

Another morning before school, she held up her water bottle and asked, “Did you touch it yet?”

I was puzzled, but I obediently touched the water bottle.

She giggled with delight. “See how cold it is? Mom put it in the fridge all night!”

Then, there are the social anxieties that begin to develop.

One night, Kennedy said in our family prayer, “Bless that I will have a pretty smile on picture day.”

And there are the fears that come with being more aware of serious issues in the world, like hurricanes.

“Me and my friend were worried that the hurricane was about to come to Florida, so we almost panicked!” she said.

It’s also fun to see Kennedy develop relationship with other adults, an important part of a child’s development. One day, she showed me her journal, in which she had drawn two stick figures holding hands: One was Kennedy, one was her teacher.

But that attachment also can cause a feeling of loss. One day when I went into Kennedy’s bedroom to see if she was getting ready for school, I saw that she was still in her pajamas.

And, she was hiding in the closet.

This was going to be a long morning.

“What’s going on? You’re going to be late,” I said.

“I miss my teacher,” Kennedy said quietly.

I told her, “Well, you better get ready for school so you can go see her, then.”

“She’s gone today!”

Hmm. Having a substitute teacher can be a frightening prospect for a child. Fortunately, a hug and a kiss from Dad still have some influence — for now.

Teacher work day Child porn charges becomes hurricane added against make-up day accused abuser

Man caught with stolen credit cards in stolen car

Monday, Oct. 14, will become a hurricane make-up day for Flagler Schools students.

The date had previously been scheduled as a teacher work day. The yearly calendar is set before the start of each school year.

Although students missed three days due to Hurricane Dorian — Sept. 3-5 — they only have to make up one day, because an extension of the bell schedule a couple of years ago added up to an additional two days’ worth of time to the school year.

“It is important we make up the lost time in this first semester, so our high school students with block classes will have the most instructional time before their end-of-semester exams,” Superintendent Tager said.

However, he added, “Should we need any further school closures from other weather events, we would need to utilize other days marked on our yearly calendar as hurricane make-up days.”

In the early morning hours of Sept. 10, Flagler County deputies found a vehicle that had been reported stolen in Daytona Beach backed into a parking spot for a home on Kingswood Drive in Palm Coast.

The driver was still in the car, and identified himself as Timothy Warren Smith, 60.

Smith told deputies that he got the vehicle on a street corner in Daytona.

He said he didn’t know the seller’s name, and often got cars that way.

But when deputies checked Smith’s wallet, he had a driver’s license belonging to someone named Timothy Hanna. Deputies contacted Hanna, who said his wallet and ID card had been stolen from his car overnight.

Smith also had a fanny pack with a driver’s license, three debit cards and two credit cards belonging to someone named Patrick Shanahan., who also said those items had been stolen from his vehicle overnight.

Smith also had a new LG cell

Jazzpen Lee Leonard, a 26-year-old arrested May 28 and charged with unlawful sexual acts with a minor after he allegedly impregnated a 16-year-old girl, has been additionally charged with eight counts of promoting sexual performance by a child.

Detectives recovered nine videos from the victim’s cell phone that showed the victim and Leonard engaged in sexual acts. Leonard was seen recording some of the videos himself.

“Evidence shows that Leonard knew that the victim was underage,” Sheriff Rick Staly said, according to a news release. “He completely took advantage of her and exploited her. I hope the courts take this case seriously and send him to prison for a long time.”

While at the county jail, Leonard was also charged with violation of injunction for three occasions in which he contacted a victim from another case.

Leonard has a lengthy arrest history in Flagler County dating back to his juvenile years.

phone purchased from Walmart with one of Shanahan’s stolen credit cards.

“We may never know why he chose Flagler County to commit his crimes, but I am glad that our deputies were able to locate him and get him off our streets before he could prey on even more victims,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in an FCSO news release. “We continually push the #9PMroutine on our social media sites, which is a reminder for residents to lock their doors to their vehicles and homes at night to help prevent themselves from becoming a victim.”

Smith was jailed on theft and grand vehicle theft charges, among others.

While he was at the jail, deputies learned of two other attempted car break-ins, on Butternut Drive in Palm Coast.

The attempted burglaries had been captured on video surveillance, and deputies were able to identify Smith as the suspect in those cases.

They added charges for two counts of attempted burglary.

The jury is not allowed to hear about James Albert Taylor’s previous rape and molestation convictions.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Investing in the Arts for our Community.

James Albert Taylor

Taylor out of the house, and the girl’s mother to tell the children to pack up because they would be leaving with Taylor, Nunnally said.

“She [the victim] never liked James,” Nunnally said. “You’re going to hear that he was mean to her, mean to her sister … and that they didn’t want to go that day. ... That’s when [the victim] says, ‘He did something to me.’ ... She wanted him out of the house, and that’s the reason why we’re here.”

Testimony began after opening arguments when Clark called the victim, now 17, as the prosecution’s first witness.

Taylor had been repeatedly left alone with the children in the house because their mother worked several jobs, according to FCSO reports.

The mother, although she’d reported her daughter’s allegations to law enforcement, had also told deputies that she doubted her daughter’s assertions. “She also finds the previous convictions of her husband as misunderstandings,” a deputy wrote in a case report.

The children had started stuffing sheets and blankets around the victim when she went to sleep so that Taylor couldn’t easily put his hands under the covers, according to the FCSO report’s recounting of the girl’s statement.

The victim also told the jury about an incident which occurred in Gainesville when she was 8 or 9: She’d been showering, she said, when Taylor came into the bathroom, took the sponge she’d been washing herself with, and then began rubbing her with it, including on her breasts and genitals.

When Nunnally, the defense attorney, questioned the victim about details she’d earlier reported to law enforcement, the victim repeatedly said she didn’t remember because it was too long ago.

The trial is expected to end Thursday, Sept. 19 or Friday, Sept.

A man convicted in 2017 of molesting his stepdaughter has been granted a retrial, which began Sept. 16 at the Flagler County courthouse. It’s the third time this case has gone before a jury in Flagler County.

Defendant James Albert Taylor was already a convicted sex offender and felon with previous convictions for lewd and lascivious molestation of a child, rape of a child, burglary, failure to register as a sex offender, and stalking when deputies arrested him and charged him in 2015 with lewd and lascivious molestation.

But the jury hearing the case is not allowed to hear that history.

That was also the case with the previous trial, in 2017, that had led to a conviction. But the judge who’d presided, Dennis Craig, had permitted another child in the family to testify that she’d also alleged that Taylor had raped her when the family lived outside of Flagler County. When Taylor appealed his conviction — arguing Craig had erred in allowing the sister to mention the rape allegation — an appeals court found in his favor, necessitating a new trial.

The trial that led to the 2017 conviction had followed an earlier attempt at a trial which ended in a mistrial when a witness, one of the victim’s sisters, mistakenly made reference to Taylor having a previous conviction.

Prosecutor Melissa Clark and defense attorney Regina Nunnally made their opening statements to the jury on Sept. 17.

Clark laid out the basics of the victim’s allegation: The victim, 11 at the time, would be lying in bed when she’d see a figure that she recognized as her stepfather come into the room, approach her bed, then touch her breasts over her clothes. It had happened when she lived with her mother, sisters and Taylor in her grandparents’ Palm Coast home, and also when they lived elsewhere.

But the defense painted a picture of a girl who’d concocted the allegation because she didn’t like Taylor, who she’d said was mean to her. The girl had made the allegation after an argument between Taylor and the girl’s grandfather had led the grandfather to order

The independent online source for health care degrees and careers released its complete list of top nursing programs in both traditional and online programs, and Daytona State took the top spot in the online rankings by finishing ahead of schools such as the University of Missouri-St. Louis, Minot State University (North Dakota), Nicholls State University (Louisiana), and the College of Coastal Georgia.

Daytona State’s RN-BSN program is designed to provide a seamless transition from the associate to the baccalaureate. It was developed for the new or working nurse. The online program gives students, nearly all of them already full-time professionals, a flexible option to earn their degree.

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing.

Bulldogs shut out Spruce Creek in second half for 41-20 victory

HIGH

SPORTS RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

N

ot much could go right for Flagler Palm Coast in the first half of its contest against district rival Spruce Creek the night of Friday, Sept. 13, at Spruce Creek High School.

The Bulldogs’ defense had a difficult time slowing down the Hawks’ bruising 4-star running back and Nebraska commit, Marvin Scott, who bulldozed his way to over 100 yards rushing on the Hawks first three possessions.

The Bulldogs’ offense struggled to move the ball, as well, and after stopping the Bulldogs’ offense yet again, the Hawks blocked a punt and recovered it in the red zone, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run from Scott to put Spruce Creek up 14-0.

FPC was able to even the score for a short period of time thanks to a fumble recovery for a touchdown by defensive end Altarik Lumpkins and a 35-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Preston Roberts to receiver Tyrique Graham.

However, the Hawks returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a score to regain the lead 20-14.

And the worst: In the dying moments of the half, the Bulldogs’ starting quarterback, Donovan Montoyo, went down with what appeared to be a knee injury and did not return to the game.

Roberts, a sophomore, was thrust into the game from that point on.

“You hate to see that happen,” Roberts said of Montoyo’s injury.

“During halftime, it was hard to even focus on the game because Donovan and I are so close. In my head, I was thinking, ‘We needed to win for No. 4.’”

The Bulldogs took to the field after halftime with a renewed focus — and it showed.

Linebacker Malakai Grant, who also had a sack and a forced fumble, intercepted Spruce Creek’s Nick Christiano late in the third quarter.

The turnover led to a 6-yard touchdown run from senior tailback Marc Genis.

And early in the fourth quarter, for the second time of the night, a snap went over Christiano’s head and was recovered by Lumpkins, who returned it 30 yards for a score to give the Bulldogs a 27-20 lead with 10 minutes to play in regulation.

Down 17, Pirates storm back against Middleburg for first win of the season Matanzas’ football team came up shy of earning its first win of the season in its Week 2 matchup against Seabreeze.

The Pirates were set to face 0-2 Middleburg on Sept. 6. However, the threat of Hurricane Dorian forced the two schools to postpone the contest until the night of Thursday, Sept. 12.

The Pirates were down 17 on the road, facing possibly their third straight loss to open up the season.

The Pirates battled back, scoring 28 points in 12 minutes, 52 seconds to defeat the Broncos 35-30 at Middleburg High School.

It was the Pirates’ first win of the season and their first since Oct. 26, 2018.

100+ KILLS

“I’ve been working on seeing the court when I go up to hit. I have to know my shots. I have to know what to do with the ball.

You can’t pound it every time.

I’m really trying to focus on being a smarter hitter.”

Matanzas volleyball’s Brianna Whitfield surpasses 100 kills on the season.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Matanzas volleyball player Brianna Whitfield had 96 kills on the season entering the Pirates’ matchup against Atlantic Wednesday, Sept. 11. After already recording three kills earlier in the first set, Whitfield rose into the air for a slam. Her shot ricocheted off the outstretched arms of the Sharks’ middleblocker out of bounds for Whitfield’s fourth kill of night — and her 100th of the season.

Whitfield registered 164 kills during the 2018 season. Now, seven games into her junior year, she’s at 112 after her 16-kill night against the Sharks.

“It means a lot,” she said. “It shows the work I’ve been putting in is paying off.”

The work has been strenuous and constant.

Whitfield gets up at 5:30 a.m.

Matanzas volleyball’s Brianna Whitfield hits a shot against Seabreeze.

nearly every day and drives to the beach volleyball courts at Holland Park with her dad to work on her game. She works on her passing and hitting, mainly. After about 100 balls, she goes home, takes a shower and then goes to class.

The routine is the same regardless of whether she played a match the night before.

“It’s exhausting, but when I get out there and hit the sand, it’s all worth it because I get to come out here and produce for my teammates,” she said. “It motivates me to get better, to keep going, to keep scoring points.”

Whitfield said she lost her passion for the game midway through the club volleyball season last year, but she has since regained her focus.

One of her goals? Surpassing her kills total from last season.

“I’ve grown a lot,” she said.

“Now I know volleyball is my focus. This is what I want to do.”

ished off the Hawks, rushing for two touchdowns in the final quarter, including a run where he broke through several tackles and carried three defenders into the end zone for a back-breaking touchdown.

Genis thought of one thing as he trucked his way toward the goal line.

“Nobody could stop me but me,” he said. “Simple as that.”

Roberts added: “That dude is a truck. You can’t stop him.”

FPC (3-0) defeated the Hawks 41-20.

A hallmark of this team has been its chemistry — something that has helped the Bulldogs push until the end even in the most difficult circumstances.

“I think this is the closest team I’ve ever played on,” Roberts said.

“It’s the closest team FPC’s had in a very long time — maybe ever.

he city of Palm Coast celebrated the seventhannual Senior Games this past weekend, Sept.

14-15, after the games were delayed due to Hurricane Dorian. Tennis, ballroom dancing, golf and pickleball were the main events, while the archery and corn hole events were canceled.

Members of the community and visitors from neighboring cities joined the challenge, looking to qualify for the Florida Senior Games. The events were for all athletes of every skill level, divided by age.

Ninety-four people signed up for pickleball.

Explore, grow, succeed Flagship programs align student learning with industry needs, setting students up for careers or more advanced education.

PAOLA RODRIGUEZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Flagler County Education Foundation started its Classroom to Careers tours for the 2019-20 school year by visiting the i3 Academy’s tech, aeronautics, fire leadership, and teaching and learning Flagship programs on Thursday, Sept. 12, at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

Through the programs, students in the county can explore career paths and grow their skill sets as they earn vocational certifications or college credits.

The Classroom to Careers programs are aligned with targeted industries in the community and region, such as aviation/aerospace, technology, agriculture, government services and entrepreneurship, among others.

Gil Aspinwall, a training officer for Flagler County Fire Rescue and a Florida State Fire College instructor, teaches fire leadership classes to the high schoolers.

Students learn discipline, listening and communication skills, and how not to panic, he said.

Students who complete the classes get up to 1,300 hours of the fire fighting training.

John Overton, a senior student and tour guide for the event, said there is an important account-

“The program gives them an early start, the opportunity to be college-ready and career straight from high school, to go into high paying jobs with no debt.”

ability factor in all of the programs, with group contracts that prepare students for college and work.

Flagler County Education Foundation Executive Director and FPC alumni Joe Rizzo said private-public relationships are important for education, and that the Flagship programs give students an opportunity to leave high school ready for careers or college.

Flagler county staff members, FPHS Principal Tom Russell, are among the group that visited students’ classrooms.

Students in an integrated class: English, Biology, and Innovation.

Joel Wirzman, a city employee, noticed the fire as he was driving by and chose to stop to assist the motorist..

According to the citizen, Wirzman suppressed the fire with the spray from a tank of water before the Palm Coast Fire Department arrived. Wirzman also made sure there were no chemicals in the truck. The citizen stated he felt extremely blessed and thankful that the city worker was there, because the fire had engulfed his entire vehicle.

The citizen said he had wood in the back that caught on fire, but that the wood was salvageable because of Wirzman’s actions.

State Fire Marshal Director Julius Halas took time during a visit to Flagler County on Tuesday, Sept. 10 to visit the students in the Flagler Palm Coast High School Fire Leadership Academy flagship program.

He spoke to the students about the importance of fire and medical services in a community and lauded the students’ hard work at such an early age, highlighting how this will help them moving forward.

“You have the opportunity to get to know each other over these four years and build a special bond that will last throughout your careers,” Halas said. “You’ve got four years to learn this, to put your skills and knowledge to use so you’ll be better prepared for those first weeks on the job.”

The flagship program is a joint effort between Flagler Schools and local fire municipalities: Flagler County Fire Rescue, the Palm Coast Fire Department and the Flagler Beach Fire Department. Chief Don Petito of Flagler County Fire Rescue is already seeing the partnership pay dividends.

“We have two graduates from last year that are going through the process that we are probably going to hire,” he said. “And I believe they’ll be outstanding employees.”

Nadia, a painted loggerhead turtle sculpture, unites art history, environmentalism at City Hall I had bought my parents a MASA MTS Membership last year and it was the best gift I ever gave them!

My Dad had a stroke while they were out of the Country.

However, his primary care physician and medical specialist were back in the US. MASA helped get my parents home so his treatment could be local. With MASA, our entire family has peace of mind and we are confident my parents will be taken care of in emergency situations. I have MASA to thank for helping my dad get the care he needed in the place he desired.

“Every time we unveil one, someone wants another one.”

fas. Guests gathered around to witness the reveal of the painted fiberglass loggerhead turtle, the fifth in Flagler County, intended as part of a “Turtle Trail” series of sculptures.

An acrylic supernova of color burst across Nadia’s carapace, and within were the delicate, demure figures of ballerinas in motion.

Two of these, according to the sculpture’s painter, local artist J.J. Graham, were taken directly from the paintings of the French Impressionist Edgar Degas.

Andy Barr, of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation, says Nadia’s name and balletic theme were directives from the statue’s anonymous sponsor, the name belonging, it seems, to the sponsor’s ballet-dancing relative.

She and Graham immediately thought of Degas when ballerinas were mentioned, as the painter returned to them as subjects time and again in his oeuvre. Fittingly, the unveiling was preceded by a performance by the young tutuclad students of Beginning Ballet and Tap. All of the turtles are painted in the style of different well-known artists, the previous four in the styles of Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet and Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Barr said the Turtle Trail series aims to fuse art history with Floridian environmental history, hence the choice of the loggerhead, the most common sea turtle in the state.

Nancy Crouch, executive director of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation, said the variety of artistic styles attracts sponsors easily.

“Every time we unveil one,” she said, “someone wants another one.”

Crouch hopes to have a map made to be distributed to tourists and residents once the series is finished, so people can track down the statues throughout Flagler County in an artistic scavenger hunt. Two more have been planned for the near future, to be placed in other parks in Palm Coast.

“I’d like to have at least 10 by the end of the year,” she said.

Graham said he appreciated the chance to work outside his usual methods for the three to four weeks it took to complete Nadia’s vivid shell, as acrylic paint was specified, and he typically works with oils.

It took a great deal of paint, he said, to fully coat the porous fiberglass.

He chose the swimming turtle’s angle himself, and did not find it odd that she should be facing away from the visitors.

“I liked the image of her swimming with people into City Hall,” Graham said. Besides, the real artwork is on her mighty back and fins, greeting everyone with the dancers on her rainbow hide.

“The shell is the canvas,” he said.
