CITY WATCH

Neighbors concerned as city OKs 210 homes

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

City to host pumpkincomposting event Palm Coast is hosting its firstever pumpkin composting event on Nov. 1. The Great Pumpkin Compost is part of a local partnership to recycle decomposing pumpkins — a rich source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which benefits the soil and plants — to the local Barton Beef Cattle Ranch, according to a press release from the city. The pumpkins will be used to feed wildlife and create nutrient-rich compost. The event will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 22 Utility Drive. The first 50 residents to recycle their pumpkins will receive a free Chick-fil-A sandwich. Participants are asked to leave any pumpkins decorated with paint, glitter or other non-compostable materials at home. Maeven Rogers, Palm Coast’s chief Sustainability and Resiliency officer, said composting is like giving a treat to the environment. “By joining us at the Great Pumpkin Compost Event, you’re helping to vanquish pumpkin pollution and support local sustainability efforts,” Rogers said. “Let’s create a pumpkin-positive impact together.”

The Palm Coast City Council will allow a development in the recently annexed 62 acres along south Old Kings Road to have a maximum of 210 homes, down from the 232 units Flagler County approved in 2005. The land was annexed into Palm Coast from Flagler County at a Sept. 19 council meeting, and the developer, Geosam Capital Florida LLC, submitted an application to amend the property’s zoning and land use for a proposed residential development called Old Kings Village. The council voted 5-0 to approve the land use amendment and 4-1 to approve the zoning application, with council member Theresa Carli Pontieri dissenting, at an Oct. 17 City Council meeting. The amendments will limit the housing units to 210 single-family homes and 30,000 square feet of general commercial use. Because the property was annexed into Palm Coast, both the zoning and the land use must be adjusted from the county’s land use and zoning designations to the city’s compatible land use and zoning designations. The council must vote on the amendments once more after the land use changes are approved by the state, city planner Bill Hoover said. Residents of the Flagler Beach Polo Club West, which borders the development’s east side, expressed concern about an apparent lack of appropriate fencing buffer to protect their privacy and security. “We have two children, so we are very concerned,” Polo Club resident Bonnie Spillers said. Hoover said Geosam has apparently allowed for a 20- to 35-footwide buffer of a mixed landscape and swale along Secretariat Lane. Polo Club residents said that buffer was not enough. They requested a wall or trees to separate the property from Secretariat Lane. The details of landscaping and buffers, however, will not be finalized until later on in the approval process, Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner said. Attorney Michael Chiumento, representing the Geosam, said he is working with a lawyer hired by Polo

Club residents to review the buffer and other concerns Polo Club West residents have. Pontieri said she disagreed with using a zoning designation of Commercial-2 for the 2 acres of commercial use on the property, saying that would be too intense for what is essentially a neighborhood. “I do think that [Commercial-1] would be much more appropriate for this specific area in this specific development,” she said. “[Commercial-2] is going to create more trips, it’s going to create more traffic … than [Commercial-1].” Tyner said the Commercial-1 designation is the least-intensive commercial use, calling it more of a “neighborhood use.” But Geosam applied for a Commercial-2 zoning, Tyner said, and city staff found that was also compatible with the area. In the Flagler County zoning for commercial use, the county built in restrictions against certain types of commercial businesses being built on that lot. Tyner said that since the zoning is changing to a city zoning designation, those built-in restrictions are going away, and any new restrictions must be worked out between the applicant’s and the residents’ lawyers.

Pontieri asked the applicant to work with staff to consider changing to the Commercial-1 designation before the proposals returned to the council for a second vote. While all of the other council members voted yes on both proposals, council members Cathy Heighter and Nick Klufas said that the applicant should continue working with the Polo Club residents and their lawyer to resolve any concerns. “I do have to say that sometimes we have to put ourselves in the other people’s position,” Heighter said. “I think that the applicant should maybe try to work with them a little bit closer and a little bit more.”

Plaza planned for US 1, Belle Terre A 30,000-square-foot commercial plaza could be coming to the intersection of U.S. 1 and Belle Terre Boulevard. The Palm Coast Planning Board approved applications to alter the Future Land Use Map designation and zoning on the property in a 6-0 vote. The property — owned by Atlas Investments PC LLC of Ormond Beach — is 10.9 acres, but only 30,000 square feet on 6 acres would be developed. The front 6 acres are currently zoned for suburban estates, and Atlas Investments asked to change it to commercial use zoning instead. The remaining 4 acres, along the back, east side of the property, would receive a preservation zoning designation, senior planner Bill Hoover said. That would leave 200-300 feet of natural buffer between the homes and businesses, including a 40-foot-wide drainage canal that runs along the east edge of the property directly behind the homes, Hoover said. A representative of Atlas Investments said the location seemed much more suited to commercial use than residential, which the existing zoning allows for, according to the meeting documents. The project is still in the concept phase, and the applicant does not know which businesses might go in the plaza yet. The 6 acres that would be changed to commercial also include a 2-acre borrow pit on the property. The tentative design shows the pit becoming a pond behind and to the north side of the property, Hoover said. The application will need to be approved by the Palm Coast City Council as the next step in the process. Email sierra@observerlocal news.com.

The future of Flagler Beach

The beach sand project will begin in July 2024, and pier reconstruction will follow in October 2024. Restaurants, businesses will stay open.

FLAGLER BEACH’S NEW PIER CONSTRUCTION The new pier was designed by Moffatt & Nichol and will be 800 feet long.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

The next two years will be transformational. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ beach renourishment project will begin on July 5, 2024, just months before construction of the new pier begins. The Florida Department of Transportation will also begin building a buried seawall known as a “secant wall” in early 2024. The Margaritaville Hotel, on State Road 100 between South Central and South Daytona avenues, will be under construction until late 2024. At a public meeting at the Santa Maria del Mar Catholic Church in Flagler Beach on Oct. 18, officials talked about juggling so many projects at once. The following stories explore each step in the process.

Construction of the new pier will begin mid-October 2024, as soon as the beach renourishment work on either side of the pier is complete. The work is expected to last from then until February 2026 when the pier will reopen, Moffatt & Nichol Project Manager Gabriel Perdomo said. The new pier will be a total of 800 feet in length, with the first 100 feet to be preserved and restored as the historic wood section. The new section will be raised 10 feet in height — from 18 feet to 28 feet — with an ADA-compliant ramp connecting the two heights, Perdomo said. The increased

height, he said, will protect against 500-year storm and wave events. To further protect the pier’s integrity, the firm will also install break-away deck panels along the new 700 feet of pier. Break-away panels are much less expensive to replace and help protect the pier’s structure during a storm, he said. “You won’t get that vertical upward force, which is what causes so much of the damage to these piers,” Perdomo said. The skeleton of the pier will be concrete — the caps, stringers and piles — and the width of the pier will be extended to 25 feet, with a 20-by-35-foot “T head” at the end

A beach renourishment project will begin staging on July 5 and finish by March 2025, U.S. Army Corps Project Manager Jason Harrah said. Construction will run 24 hours a day. “We will tell the contractor they cannot mobilize until July the fifth,” Harrah said. “There’ll be detours for northbound and southbound traffic [on S.R. A1A] — we don’t want the public near the area where there’s hundreds of dump trucks are coming in and out bringing in sand.” The project is split into two: the federal beach renourishment that stretches three miles from Seventh Street South to 28th Street South, and the non-federal projects that bracket the federal stretch at either end, from Seventh Street North to Seventh Street South and from 28th Street South to Gamble Rogers State Park. “To all the engineers, coastal engineers, the more sand that is in the system, the better,” Harrah said. “We accepted the challenge.” In total, 1.3 million cubic yards of sand is needed just for the federal project’s 3-mile stretch. The northern non-federal section will have 150,000 cubic yards of sand, while the southern non-federal section will have 120,000 cubic yards, according to Harrah’s presentation. The Army Corps’ renourishment project will build the dunes up to 19 feet high — one foot taller than the pier’s current elevation — and build a sloped berm, the “towel space” portion of the beach, to 140 feet wide. The 140 feet does not include the sand the Army Corps will add that extends into the surf, Harrah said. The sand will be pumped from an approved site around 8 miles offshore by a hopper dredge. The dredge works like a vacuum to suck sand up into the hull of the ship, Harrah said, then that sand is sent through a pipeline to the beach. The Army Corps will close 1,500foot sections of the beach at one time, beginning with the sections at Seventh Street North and Seventh Street South, on either side of the pier. Harrah said the plan is to finish up that area first so that the pier construction can begin. From there, Harrah said, the Corps will either continue working in sections moving to the south end of the project or jump to the southern end

of the pier. Perdomo said the fish cleaning stations will have potable water, and the pier itself will have shaded structures, benches, turtle-safe lighting and a firewater system. Some of the additions to the pier — like the shading, benches, electricity and power supply points — were added after a Jan. 31 public meeting during which Flagler Beach officials and Moffatt & Nichol asked for feedback and suggestions from the public, Perdomo said. The memorial planks, he said, will be removed by the contractor and given to the city, which will either return them to their owners or memorialize them in some way. “We want to make sure that the contractor understands that it is their responsibility when they remove [the planks] to remove them carefully and to turn them over to the city,” Perdomo said. Once construction is far enough along and it is safe to do so, Perdomo said, the construction team will build a designated pedestrian walkway under the bridge. The Funky Pelican and other surrounding businesses will remain open during the construction. The beach parking on the south side of the A-frame will become a staging area for materials. “We want to make sure that folks can access from one side of the pier to the other safely,” he said.

SECANT WALL CONSTRUCTION Joseph Fontanelli, FDOT District 5 project manager, told the Observer that construction of the secant wall should begin in early 2024, though he is hoping to start sooner, if possible. “We are moving full speed ahead,” he said. “...I’m doing everything I can to move [this along].” A secant wall is a buried cement wall intended to prevent erosion. This wall will be buried in front of State Road A1A and stretch from a half mile north of Highbridge Road in Volusia County to South Central Avenue in Flagler County, near the water tower in Flagler Beach — at the south end of the beach renourishment project, Fontanelli said. A second secant wall will follow in Volusia County south of Sunrise Avenue to Marlin Drive in Ormond-By-the-Sea. Fontanelli said that after all of the projects are done, FDOT will resurface A1A to fix any damage from the “thousands” of dump trucks that will be moving along A1A over the next 18 months. “We’re going to come in and after all this heavy traffic comes through, all of this work is done, then we’re going to put the icing on the top,” he said. Tortugas Florida Kitchen and Bar owner Scott Fox said that even with his concerns, he’s glad for the communication Flagler Beach has with its businesses and residents. Even though Oct. 17 was the first look at the plan, Fox said, he expects there to be many more conversations with all parties involved to figure out the best way to support local businesses during the work. He’s confident the city and the planners will do all they can to mitigate the challenges to local businesses while getting the job done, and that the city will continue helping everyone through the process. “This community has been through a lot,” Fox said. “Resilient is the best word to describe Flagler Beach.”

Flagler Beach Owner of deer killed by FWC officers considers lawsuit plans for construction ‘If I’d have done that to a deer, I would have been in jail,’ Palm Coast resident and deer owner Mike Hansen said. SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

When Palm Coast resident Mike Hansen left home at around 9 a.m. for work on Oct. 5, the family deer, Baboo, watched him leave through the kitchen window like normal. “I would have coffee with him every morning,” Hansen said. “[Baboo] wouldn’t hurt nothing.” Several hours later, he received a call from Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officers and found out that Baboo had been killed after injuring a man who was gardening on Cool Water Court. Another Cool Water Court resident had called 911 after a deer — Baboo — had attacked the man. FWC officers killed the deer by cutting its throat and later shooting it in the chest. Body camera footage of the incident shows that the injured deer bled from the neck wound for 15 minutes before an FWC officer shot

the road and brought him home. The deer became part of the family — living in the house, sleeping in the bed — and Hansen said he even trained Baboo to go outside to use the bathroom. “He was just like a dog,” Hansen said. “He loved everybody. … He was never aggressive with anybody.” Losing Baboo has been rough on the entire family, Hansen said. Many in the neighborhood and around town knew of and loved Baboo, he said.

“How the state of Florida hasn’t prosecuted that officer for animal cruelty is beyond me,” Hansen said. “If I’d have done that to a deer, I would have been in jail.” A neighbor has even put together a GoFundMe to organize a memorial garden for the deer and donate excess funds to the Wildlife Coalition. While he waits for answers, Hansen said he is looking for an animal rights lawyer to take the case on. In the meantime, he’ll continue to push for answers, he said. “You’re supposed to protect animals as an FWC officer,” he said. “[Baboo] was my peace in life.”

The Palm Coast Planning and Land Development Regulation Board previewed a draft of the possible new regulations for Palm Coast at its Oct. 18 meeting. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling for Reed v. Town of Gilbert essentially ruled that city sign regulations cannot be content-based, city attorney Jennifer Nix said. “It’s not just us,” Nix said. “Cities across America are having to change

The sign code was last amended in 2012, Tyner said. The draft would also, in some cases, loosen regulations on how many signs a property can have. If approved, for example, the draft policy would allow for two real estate signs on a for-sale lot, while the current policy only allows one. Homeowners would be allowed up to six “non-commercial” signs —

sion will relocate the eggs and nests, Harrah said. The county, city and the Corps have worked out four staging areas for materials and machinery: the first at Veteran’s Park, the second at Sixth Street South at an empty lot across from Tortugas Kitchen & Bar, the third in the Pebble Beach Homeowner’s Association, and the fourth across from the Flagler Beach water tower near South 28th Street. Scott Fox, the owner of Tortugas Florida Kitchen and Bar, said the Oct. 17 meeting was the first time that Flagler Beach residents and businesses have gotten to see a timeline and plan for the two projects combined. The second staging area is directly across from his restaurant, and Fox said he did talk to Harrah and other officials after the meeting, who were able to answer his questions. But ultimately, Fox said, his biggest concern is how the construction will affect traffic to businesses. “We’re all really excited about it,” Fox said. “[But] all the businesses in Flagler Beach are gong to feel the impact.” He said that since 2016, the city has seen seven or eight disasters back to back — multiple hurricanes and the pandemic. Fox reopened Tortugas’ two months before Hurricane Matthew, he said, and Hurricane Irma hit the next year. “It’s been a challenge for the [local] businesses to keep things afloat and really succeed,” he said. As necessary as the upcoming work is, Fox said, two years of construction is “going to be a challenge for everybody.” “Now they have a plan in place and they did a good job of communicating that to the community,” Fox said. “It’s going to be beautiful when it’s all said and done.”

it in the chest. Weeks later, Hansen still has questions: Why did Baboo need to be killed, instead of relocated? If he needed to be killed, why wasn’t it done more humanely? Who gave the order to cut the deer’s throat? Are the officers involved going to face any punishment for the way Baboo was killed? Hansen hasn’t watched the footage yet, he said — family and friends have warned him against it — but he knows that Baboo suffered. The officer who cut Baboo’s throat doesn’t deserve his badge, Hansen said. “It is the most inhumane thing I’ve ever [heard],” he said. “That’s animal cruelty.” Hansen said he has sent complaints to the international animal rights organization People for Ethical Treatment of Animals, commonly known as PETA. He’s also looking to hire a lawyer to review the “barbaric” actions of the FWC and an FCSO deputy who was also at the scene. He’s prepared to take the case on, he said. The Observer has reached out to FWC by email and phone, but has not received a response in time for this publication. Hansen said he found Baboo abandoned over a year ago on the side of

Crisis alert badges let teachers District priorities: FTC, teacher certifications Flagler school district call police, initiate lockdowns The is also looking for help from The system lets all school staff in Flagler silently contact law enforcement in case of an on-campus crisis. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Flagler Schools teachers and staff are now able to click a button on a wearable badge to alert responders to an emergency or even lock down the school. The district switched vendors this year to comply with Allyssa’s Law, named after a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. The law required all Florida public schools and charters to implement an advanced mobile panic alert system by the 2021-22 school year. Flagler Schools has switched to the CENTEGIX Safety Platform. The system enables all school staff to silently contact law enforcement in the case of an on-campus threat or crisis. The CENTEGIX platform has been installed in all nine district schools. The company has trained all schoolbased administrators, who in turn have trained their personnel. At an Oct. 17 School Board workshop, Tommy Wooleyhan, the district’s safety coordinator, told board members that 1,500 crisis alert wearable badges have been sent out to school employees. He said an additional 150 badges were requested for personnel who visit the schools regularly. If there is a medical emergency or physical disturbance, anyone with a badge anywhere on campus can click the button three times, and designated school responders will be automatically directed to the scene. In the case of an extreme emergency such as an active shooting, a staffer would press the button repeatedly, which would initiate a hard lockdown of the school, activate CEN-

the Legislature to secure its five-year capital plan with new sharing requirements.

TEGIX alarms throughout campus and summon law enforcement. “(Flagler County Sheriff’s Office) road deputies will receive the alert through 911, and the cavalry’s coming,” Wooleyhan said. The system does not require cell phone service, Wooleyhan added. The platform’s implementation has been funded by the county’s half-cent sales tax. Currently, one third of Florida’s school districts, including Volusia, use the CENTEGIX platform. Imagine School at Town Center, Flagler County’s only charter school, has also switched to CENTEGIX, Wooleyhan said.

The Flagler County School Board agreed to present three requests to the state legislature heading into the 2024 legislative session. The school district is requesting $1.6 million for a local project to expand the facilities at Flagler Technical College to support more students and programs. The money would add three classrooms and two bathrooms to FTC. The other two requests focus on statewide issues that are critical to Flagler County: emergency temporary teacher certifications for critical shortage areas and funding to secure the district’s five-year capital plan to account for additional requirements to share capital outlay with charter schools.

“(Flagler County Sheriff’s Office) road deputies will receive the alert through 911, and the cavalry’s coming.”

Superintendent LaShakia Moore told the board that the request for temporary certifications “is paramount.” She said that while the district can now place teaching candidates out of their field for a year, there are some candidates who have applied for positions who don’t have degrees in an area that would allow for any level of temporary certification. “If they would up that, that would help us tremendously,” Moore said. “It’s a priority when we think of staffing of schools.” The third request is important locally because Flagler County has a higher percentage of students in charter schools than the average. A five-year glide path builds the

school districts’ sharing percentages by 20% per year. But the state could provide other revenue to all districts to limit the impact. Flagler Schools has not adjusted its capital plan since the law was passed. “It would ensure that we can continue to move forward with the items that are on our five-year capital plan with additional dollars shared with our charter school,” Moore said. A fourth request, which was eliminated, would have asked for increased funding to provide competitive salaries to FTC instructors who have other opportunities in the private sector. “It’s a need,” Moore said. “But I would ask, have we done all we can locally to address this area?” She said there is already a lot of money earmarked for career and technical education, and the district first needs to see if it can shift funds before it includes the request in a future legislative platform. Board Chair Cheryl Massaro noted that the issue needs to be solved in the future if the Legislature approves the FTC expansion project. “We’re going to need more employees,” she said.

Blockwork on Matanzas building to end by Nov. 1 The central energy plant is almost finished, and site work for a new multipurpose building is well underway. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Blockwork on the new Matanzas High School building that will house a construction lab and a new media center is expected to be completed by Nov. 1, said Chuck Coates, the expansion project’s manager. Work began on the school’s $22 million expansion in late July. The

new central energy plant is also nearly finished, Coates said, and prep work is proceeding for the new multipurpose pre-engineered metal building which will be adjacent to the current athletic fieldhouse. Coates said the multipurpose building, which will support athletics and PE programs, is scheduled to be delivered on Dec. 4, with assembly expected in mid-December. Coates and Kory Bush, the district’s director of plant services, gave the School Board an update on the project at a board workshop on Oct. 17. Bush said owner-direct purchases have saved the district over $140,000

on the project. The school’s construction class has had monthly walkthroughs on the Building 5 site, which will house the construction lab, career technical education classrooms and a second-floor media center, replacing the current media center that will be converted into additional cafeteria space. Coates said the construction students have been very eager. “Each week we meet with them,” he said. H.A. Contracting Corp. is leading the project, which is expected to be completed in 2025.

Once he was able to get close, the officer noticed the man’s breath smelled of alcohol. The man was detained as other officers arrived for backup. The reporting officer then spoke with the couple involved, who said the man had been verbally harassing them and trying to provoke a fight. The man was taken to jail.

The reporting officer took note of the incident while driving in the area. He saw that the man was “in a fighting stance” with his hands raised about 2 feet away from a man who was being held back by his girlfriend, according to a police report. The officer stopped to break up the altercation. As the officer approached, the man took his backpack and began

the man — suspected to be in his 30s or 40s — said “Good morning” to her as he continued to pleasure himself. He then asked her, “Do you like it?” The woman told police she had seen the suspect in the area before, and described him as a white man wearing a baseball cap, glasses, and a dark shirt and shorts. She wished to pursue charges if he was identified. THE ‘DARK WEB’ 6:25 p.m. — First block of South Laurel Creek Court, Ormond Beach Suspicious incident.

TOO FAST AND FURIOUS 11:56 p.m. — First block of Untermeyer Place, Palm Coast Reckless driving, fleeing and eluding. A 20-year-old Palm Coast man was caught speeding at 123 mph and attempted to hide from a Sheriff’s Office deputy by parking in the driveway of a vacant home, according to his arrest report. The Sheriff’s Office deputy clocked the man’s Audi going 123 mph on Seminole Woods Boulevard. The car wove through traffic and fled from a patrol car when a deputy tried to pull it over, the report said. The car turned down a residential street, and the deputy turned off his emergency lights and began patrolling the neighborhood and side streets, the report said. The deputy found the Audi parked in the driveway of a clearly vacant home, with the driver and the driver’s 14-year-old brother inside.

blockers and cross-sex hormones for the treatment of gender dysphoria.” The attorneys contended the state has continued to enforce the rule in “complete defiance of the judgment.” But in a 10-page response Wednesday, lawyers for the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration argued the state is not enforcing the rule as a “categorical ban” on coverage for the treatments. That is because Medicaid patients could seek variances or waivers of the rule through an administrative process. In the Oct. 4 filing, attorneys for the plaintiffs called such arguments a “red herring” and said, for example, that the Agency for Health Care Administration has told Medicaid managed-care organizations to deny coverage for such treatments. Most Medicaid beneficiaries are enrolled in managed-care plans. “In short, the denials of coverage and instructions to MCOs (managed-care organizations) are categorical, and defendants

BUCK WILD 5:41 p.m. — First block of Wedgwood Lane, Palm Coast Disorderly intoxication, exposure of sexual organs. A Palm Coast man was arrested after he pulled down his shorts, exposing his genitals, to prove he did not have a weapon on him, according to the man’s arrest report. Sheriff’s Office deputies had first found the man in the road, arguing with a woman. The man began yelling at the deputies to “charge him” and challenging them to fight him, the report said. The man was clearly intoxicated, the report said, and kept screaming, pacing and swinging his arms like he was preparing to fight. Then, for seemingly no reason, the man said, “where’s my weapon, nowhere,” and pulled his pants down, showing the neighborhood his genitals. The man pulled his pants back up and told the deputies, “take me down,” the report said. The man then laid down on his stomach and allowed the deputies to arrest him. The man had a blood alcohol content of 0.129.

have announced their intent to continue to enforce this categorical ban ... despite this court having deemed it unconstitutional and unlawful,” the plaintiff’s filing said. The lawsuit was filed last year on behalf of two transgender adults and the parents of two transgender minors after the Agency for Health Care Administration adopted the rule. The lawsuit was updated this spring to also include a new state law aimed at preventing Medicaid coverage for the treatments. Hinkle in June ruled that the law and the rule violated constitutional equal-protection rights, a federal Medicaid law and a federal Affordable Care Act prohibition on sex discrimination. The state has appealed Hinkle’s decision to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals DeSantis and other Republican leaders across the country have made a priority in recent years of trying to restrict treatments for people with gender dysphoria. — THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

What is tinnitus? And how do I get rid of it?

Tinnitus is the perception of a sound that has no external source. Patients will report “ r i n g i n g ”, “ h u m m i n g ”, “buzzing”, and “crickets”. It can be constant or come and go, it can be soft sometimes and loud other times. Although there is no external source for tinnitus, it is not a phantom sound- there is real neural activity in your brain that you are hearing as your tinnitus. While tinnitus typically begins with a hearing loss, it is not exclusively an auditory problem. It is a result of neurological changes within the auditory system and within the parts of the brain that influence conscious attention and emotional state. No single explanation applies to all cases, but the process outlined below describes one of the more commonly accepted theories about what causes tinnitus. When the natural balance is upset by a hearing loss, the neurological activity is altered, and this altered activity is then interpreted by the brain as sound. This results in whistling or ringing sounds commonly known as tinnitus. Tinnitus most commonly results from hearing loss caused by exposure to exces-

sive or loud noises, however, it can also be caused by aging, ototoxic drugs, temporal-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ), depression, anxiety, Lyme disease, thyroid disorders, ear infections, or even wax in the ear. Normally, background neurological activity in the brain is covered up by everyday sounds. Neurological changes may then cause the perceived sound to be more noticeable and disturbing. For some people, the presence of tinnitus is troubling, and so the brain treats it as a threat and focuses on it, increasing awareness. This “increased awareness” can lead to stress, resulting in further enhancement by the emotional centers of the brain, and further amplification of the tinnitus.

Although there is no cure for Tinnitus, the good news is there are sound therapy treatment programs that can significantly reduce tinnitus

After your evaluation, your doctor will review a comprehensive treatment plan customized to your needs. Many patients find relief after just a few sessions, however if more comprehensive intervention is necessary, that is also available. Most insurance companies, including Medicare, do not cover tinnitus treatment, however

Additionally, the brain can try to compensate for the hearing loss by “turning up” the sensitivity of the hearing system. This not only amplifies the tinnitus but can also make ordinary sounds

uncomfortably loud for some people (hyperacusis), further adding to stress and anxiety. The result is a cycle of symptoms that can be self-reinforcing, leading to progressive worsening of the tinnitus over time. These factors have made tinnitus very difficult to treat in the past.

PCAF to unveil two final turtles Friends of the PAC form Jazz Society ‘COVID just did us in,’ said PCAF Executive Director Nancy Crouch.

The jazz society, which has about 20 members, is the brainchild of Lucy Jackman, president of the Friends of the PAC.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

The Palm Coast Arts Foundation will likely dissolve by the end of the year. But first, two new turtle sculptures will be added to the Turtle Trail. PCAF President Sam Perkovich announced the decision to dissolve the 20-year-old nonprofit in a press release on Oct. 17. Executive Director Nancy Crouch said in an interview with the Observer that PCAF will probably officially close down by the end of 2023. The foundation couldn’t bounce back financially after it was required to close because of COVID-19, she said. “It is sad,” Crouch said. “Twenty years of trying to get something developed in Town Center — with a lot of great movement — but COVID just did us in.” The foundation focused on bringing in entertainment that Palm Coast residents may not have had the chance to experience before, she said — an opera star, jazz and blues performers, and, of course, the Jacksonville Symphony. “We did some really creative things,” she said. “It was just really a great thing. We were just always trying to bring in different entertainment.” Before it shuts its doors, PCAF will unveil sculptures number 20 and 21, the last two under PCAF’s direction, for the Turtle Trail, Crouch said. Sculpture 20 will be unveiled at 4 p.m. on Nov. 1, at Central Park behind City Hall, Crouch said, and Mayor David Alfin will be there to accept the turtle on behalf of the city.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR Photo courtesy of the Palm Coast Arts Foundation

Renny the Turtle will be unveiled in the beginning of November.

Sculpture 20 is sponsored by Mike Morello of Mike Morello Inc. Air Conditioning & Heating. It has a rural America theme and takes a “whimsical approach to the American Gothic painting of Grant Wood,” Crouch said. Sculpture 21 is sponsored by Intracoastal Bank and will be unveiled at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 2, at the Intracoastal Bank on Palm Coast Parkway. The turtle was created by Lisa Fisher and Nancy Zedar and is themed after French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is nicknamed “Renny” after the artist, Crouch said. The Turtle Trail will continue with the Flagler County Cultural Council, under Crouch’s continued direction. Crouch is transitioning to co-chair the Cultural Council, an umbrella organization uniting numerous arts, history and cultural groups, the PCAF press release said. “It’ll be a seamless transition,” Crouch said. The PCAF site will continue as a cultural events space through the city of Palm Coast, the press release said. At an Oct. 17 City Council meeting, the council approved a partial release of covenant restrictions on the site to allow the city to take over maintenance of the stage.

Crouch said that even in these two years since the pandemic, PCAF struggled to recover without event revenue. The foundation had no more paid staff, and it was hard to get volunteers to return. “When you rely on your operating budget from event revenues and you don’t have events for over two years ... it kind of does you in,” she said. In the press release, Perkovich credited the success of PCAF to its members, donors, volunteers, event guests, the art community, the city, county and state, the Jacksonville Symphony and PCAF’s board. She told the Observer she will continue promoting the arts at United We Art. “[United We Art] is just getting started,” she said. “So look for more to come.” Between her work there and Crouch at the FC3, the two will be able to work together to support the arts, Perkovich said. Perkovich said that PCAF never got the full buyin it needed from local organizations to continue to grow, including the goal of building a roof over the PCAF stage. “The arts are a multi-billion dollar entity in Florida, but we just don’t support them very well here in Flagler County,” she said. “Our elected officials all need to do better.”

The Friends of the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center are looking to jazz things up in town. Six months ago, the nonprofit organization formed the Ormond Beach Jazz Society, a new arm of the Friends of the PAC, whose mission is to promote jazz music through both community performances and educational outreach. The society is the brainchild of Lucy Jackman, president of the Friends of the PAC. She used to play piano in her high school jazz band, and in college, she sang with a jazz group for a time. “That created my interest, but depending on where you live, you don’t have that access to jazz,” Jackman said. Friends of the PAC board member Chancey Durham, who owns Dante Productions, said the jazz society was born from both the need for affordable jazz shows in the area and love for the music by people like Jackman and PAC Supervisor Marc Schwartz. “Jazz is not dying, but in some areas it is,” Durham said. “So Lucy came up with the idea, ‘Let’s do something about that.’” Durham joined the Friends of the PAC two years ago. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he lived on a block where 90% of his neighbors were musicians. “I had no talent,” Durham

said. “So because I was one of the neighborhood kids, they gave me a talent. They said, ‘You run the business for us.’” He learned all the “back office” skills — marketing, publicity, etc. Dante Productions has five bands, including the Divas of Jazz, which play locally. The PAC is no stranger to jazz music. Before the building’s remodel, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and Tommy Dorsey Orchestra had performed several times at the PAC. “I have a real love for that music because it is uniquely American,” Schwartz said. “Big band jazz, and jazz in general, is very much more respected and admired outside of the United States.” Schwartz’s father played the coronet, so as a child, the music of many great jazz trumpet players filled his home. As an adult, he worked for some time at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City, where he got the chance to work with and listen to some of the biggest names in jazz music. “Jazz is a universal musical language that people all over the world welcome and enjoy,” he said. “And so, I think it’s an essential centerpiece in any performing arts venue to have jazz performances on a regular basis.” From the beginning of the $1.7 million renovation, a project the Friends of the PAC first pushed for about seven years ago, Jackman’s intent for the building was to create a cultural center in Ormond Beach. “That really is the goal — and that’s what it should be,” Jackman said. “Because we have an art gallery, and we bring in every art: music, dance, drama and etc. This could be a gold mine for the

city.” A cultural gold mine, added Durham. Dante Productions, which has been helping in getting more members for the Jazz Society at its events at Cinematique in Daytona Beach, is aiming to showcase the history of jazz in a musical play next year, to be shown at the PAC. The Jazz Society now has about 20 members. The Jazz Society’s biggest sponsors are 31 Supper Club and Rose Villa, where it has held membership drives. On Nov. 15, the Jazz Society will hold a membership drive from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at 31 Supper Club. There is no opening date yet for the PAC, because construction is ongoing, but Schwartz said that once it reopens, it’ll be an economic asset for the city. “Cultural assets are really important decision influencers for people that are deciding where to locate their businesses, because they want their staff to have access to cultural amenities like museums and performing arts centers,” Schwartz said. “... Arts and culture are economic drivers, and a performing arts center in particular is one that invites people for overnight stays.” Schwartz remains excited about the renovations to the PAC. When it reopens to the public, it will look like a brand new building, inside and out. The project is currently working on a new shade structure on the exterior of the building, which Schwartz said will help to create a welcoming environment people will associate with the arts. “This is making an important visual statement that this is a building that serves a cultural purpose,” he said.

BRIEFS River-to-Sea Preserve closes for sand project Marineland’s River-to-Sea Preserve will be closed as part of the final stage of Flagler County’s emergency sand dune restoration project. The park closed Monday, Oct. 23 and will be closed on the weekdays until Thanksgiving, when the work is expected to be completed, according to a press release from the county. The southern half of the preserve’s parking lot and the restroom facilities will be open from 5 p.m. on Fridays through Sunday evenings. Crews are using the west side of State Road A1A across from the preserve as a staging area and will access the beach from the east parking lot. Flagler County Coastal Engineering Administrator Ansley Wren-Key said the park will be closed while the contractor is using the Riverto-Sea Preserve. This northern section will complete the emergency dune restoration work, the press release said. The work is funded through emergency funding for Hurricane Nicole. “This has been a long process, and we ask for everyone’s continued patience,” said County Administrator Heidi Petito. “We apologize for the inconvenience. We know our residents and visitors love to visit our beaches.”

Founders Day festival coming to Holland Park

Celebrate the Palm Coast Historical Society’s annual Founders Day celebration in Holland Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28. This free family-friendly event coincides with the 10th anniversary of the opening of the first PCHS museum in 2013.

Those hungry for knowledge can explore 200 years of local history, beginning with a mock archaeological dig of St. Joseph’s Plantation, a timeline of the dynamic decade of the 1970s when International Telephone and Telegraph changed the landscape of Flagler County, and two dozen outdoor exhibits by community groups that shaped our culture for nearly 50 years. Music by DJ Vern of Surf 97.3 will provide music from yesteryear. Those hungry for food can choose from five different mobile vendors including Andrea’s Italian Ice, Ramon’s Kitchen, Sweet Sheila’s Funnel Cakes, Somethin’ Different Catering, and The Wandering Hoagie. Don’t miss PCHS historian Elaine Studnicki discussing the history of Palm Coast canals or local author Tim Baker sharing the inside scoop on his detective novels set in Flagler County. Retired firefighters will reflect on major milestones throughout their careers. Interact with members of the Garden Club, Scenic A1A, King’s Road Historic District, African American Cultural Society, Flagler Humane Society and more. For additional information, visit palmcoasthistory.org.

Emergency director addresses House

Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord was invited to address the Florida House Select Committee on Monday, Oct. 16, for the second time this year about hurricane resiliency and recovery. Lord emphasized that the $100 million set aside for the Department of Environmental Protection for beach recovery and renourishment “was a generous start,” and urged the committee to continue to make it a priority in the com-

ing year. Lord asked the Florida House Select Committee for the following: Emergency Management Preparedness Assistance and Trust Fund – increase what is provided to all counties for planning, training, personnel costs, equipment, and Emergency Management operations, which has been unchanged for 20 years Create a similar program to the State Chief Financial Officer’s “My Safe Florida Home” program that would be floodcentric instead of addressing wind mitigation Build on the FEMA mitigation program that allows homeowners in flood-prone areas to elevate their homes or potentially sell them to local governmental agencies to be returned to open space. Prioritize disaster sheltering options – other than local schools – for growing counties with demographic profiles that do not support adding to the inventory of schools.

City seeks volunteers for cleanup event

Help keep Palm Coast litterfree by joining the city’s “Keep Palm Coast Clean” litter pickup event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4. Volunteers will meet at the Public Works Department at 1 Wellfield Grade, just off U.S. 1. Multiple roadways are designated as focus areas for the event. Awards will be given out and each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion and be recognized as a “Litter-Free Ambassador” for their role in the Litter All Effort. The city will provide gloves, trash bags and refreshments. Individuals or groups interested in volunteering can send an email to Solidwastedivision@ palmcoastgov.com.

Attempt to fit Essie Bass in photo goes haywire Mother says mannequin shouldn’t have been used as a temporary stand-in for her daughter, who has leukemia. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Get ready to SCREAM with fright as the Palm Coast Fire Department’s Hall of Terror returns to give you spooky scares. This event is free. Located at Fire Station 21, visit Mon, Oct. 30 & Tues, Oct. 31, from 7-10pm.

Three to See

Shannon Gutierrez wanted her daughter Essie Bass to be a part of Flagler Palm Coast’s senior class panoramic picture, even if she couldn’t be there in person. Essie, who was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in 2016, had a bone marrow transplant on Aug. 31 and was back at Nemours Children’s Health in Jacksonville. The school’s attempt to have her included in the panoramic photo on Tuesday, Oct. 24, briefly blew up on social media and angered Gutierrez. Evana Fretterd, FPC’s activities director and Student Government Associa-

tion advisor, asked the photographer from Cady Studios how Bass’ likeness could be included in the picture. FPC Principal Bobby Bossardet said the photographer suggested using a mannequin head as a placeholder, with the studio later embossing her image into that space. A student, who Bossardet said is a friend of Essie’s, held the mannequin head next to his face for a selfie and posted on social media, “we’re going to put essie in the photo.” A commenter, who Bossardet said was not in the building, wrote, “i would be so (mad) if I was replaced by a mannequin head.” Gutierrez, who said she had suggested in an email to Fretterd to use a likeness of Essie that she has on a canvas board, was upset to see that comment and others and felt that Essie’s classmates were mocking her daughter, who had been on chemo up until Aug. 22. “Why would you use a mannequin when I gave you an option? My daughter is bald. You don’t think these kids run

child abuse, contributing to delinquency of a minor, battery and possession of a controlled substance. When the victim’s father showed up at a home on Red Birch Drive looking for his daughter, he found Cowart inside with her and several other underage teenagers. The 15-year-old was intoxicated, the report said.

with stuff?” Gutierrez said. But Bossardet said the student who posted that photo did not have bad intentions. “He was Essie’s best friend growing up, supposedly. He was going to send her the picture,” Bossardet said, adding, “Everyone who reposted or has it on their story has taken it down. They said, ‘We didn’t put it up to be negative.’” Bossardet said Fretterd was very upset by the sequence of

Cowart left the home in a blue Chevrolet as the father called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. While talking to an FCSO deputy, the victim said she left home to stay with her boyfriend, another minor, according to the report. Cowart had also stayed at the home for the previous two days and drove them and other teenagers around town. The victim told the deputy Cowart had made several sexual advances towards her

events. “I know (Gutierrez) wrote Evana an email,” Bossardet said. “Evana’s not an expert either. She followed the lead from the professional photographer.” Bossardet said that Fretterd and the SGA have organized many Essie Strong days. On the morning of Essie’s transplant surgery, he and Superintendent LaShakia Moore had a FaceTime call with Essie, and students dressed in orange held up signs that said #Essie strong. “That was SGA-sponsored,” Bossardet said. “Evana sent out an email blast saying, ‘Everyone wear orange tomorrow.’” Gutierrez said Essie had been readmitted because of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. “This whole situation couldn’t have happened (at a worse time),” she said. But she later posted on Facebook that they are going home. “I will have a bigger update soon!!! But we are going HOME, like Palm Coast Home!!!” she wrote.

and repeatedly touched her thighs and chest even after she told him to stop. When FCSO deputies found Cowart’s Chevrolet and pulled him over, the deputies asked Cowart about the girl. Cowart denied touching her, but changed his story multiple times, with the deputies catching him in several lies, according to the report. Cowart is being held at the county jail on $38,000 bond.

they were planning a party for her but did not expect it to be so big. She said “never in [her] life” did she think she would live to see 100. The best part of her party? “All of the attention I’m getting,” she said, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. Boles spent 40 years playing the piano at her church and loves music from the 1940s and ‘50s. She spends

her days at Sabal Palms playing bingo and going to physical therapy. She uses a walker, but her goal in life is to be able to walk again without it, she said. Karen Boles comes to visit her mother every day. She said she was so happy to be able to celebrate her mother’s 100th birthday. “It’s amazing,” she said. “I’m so thankful to have her.”

In loving memory, we announce the passing of Regan Kendrick Santry. Regan’s life was a testament to the beauty and power of creative expression. A lifelong artist deeply influenced by his love of the ocean, he found solace and inspiration in its embrace. His younger days were marked by the joys of fishing and surfing on Long Island’s South Shore, activities that forged an unbreakable bond between him and nature. Regan’s art was not only a reflection of the spirit of the sea but also a window into his gregarious nature. His life and love of people and nature offer glimpses into the passion and tranquility that inspired him. Beyond his art, Regan’s legacy lives on in the memories of his friends and family. Regan was predeceased by his parents Philip Santry and Judith DiPrinzio Santry and his brother Jeffrey. He leaves behind his sons, Maxwell and Liam, and brothers Christopher, Thomas and William, all of whom will remember him in their hearts. Regan was born and raised in Massapequa, NY, attended Massapequa High School and ultimately settled in the Flagler Beach FL area. In keeping with Regan’s wishes, we plan to hold a memorial ceremony in Flagler Beach so loved ones can

gather to reminisce and celebrate his remarkable journey. Details regarding the specific time and location will be provided in due course. If you are interested, please send an email to cbsantry@me.com. Let’s come together to honor the life and spirit of “Raggs,” a soul whose inspiration was as profound as the sea he adored. Regan’s family have entrusted his arrangements to Clymer Funeral Home & Cremations of Palm Coast, FL. Condolences may be left at clymerfuneralhome.com.

LETTERS FWC botched deer killing Dear Editor: The FWC botched the killing of Baboo, the neighborhood “pet” deer in the C Section. Without dwelling on side issues of “adoption” and “relocation,” the method used to put down Baboo was inhumane. In a partial response to an inquiry from the Observer, the FWC stated, “(we) continually evaluate (our) processes so that when an animal must be put down, both public safety and humane treatment are considered appropriately.” If so, who decided a slit throat was the best method? Why couldn’t the two on-site officers skip the knife option and wait for the in-transit third officer to shoot Baboo? Why didn’t the FWC officer have a tranq gun if knifing is a common method? Why did the incident report omit

(intentionally?) mention of the 18-minute gap between the knifing and the gunshot (brought up by the Observer in a previous issue)? The intuitive answers suggest FWC knows they botched the killing. An acquaintance of mine argued it makes no difference — Baboo was going to die one way or another. He reconsidered when asked if he wanted his dog to die unsedated from a slit throat or by an injection. It is the difference between inhumane and empathy. The FWC needs to focus more on “continually evaluating their processes” and “humane treatment” so this tragedy is not repeated. JEFFREY NEIDINGER Palm Coast

Flagler can’t handle all this construction Dear Editor: Greg Blosé, president and CEO of the regional chamber of commerce,

gave himself away in his Oct. 19 commentary when he admitted he once ran a home builder association. Flagler County/Palm Coast is not over building, he says. What about the burgeoning apartment construction? There are hundreds of units at city center and now on Roberts Road. Flagler Beach can’t handle those residents, let alone the 80,000 newcomers he’ll welcome over the next 17 years. Mr. Blose touts the region to the detriment of those who live in the area now.

Question from Pat Barile: I would like to know when something is going to be done to hire more code enforcers. ... There are so many obvious restrictions broken, and nothing’s done about them. Hello, Pat. Here’s some general information about our Code Enforcement Division: Code consists of: Code Enforcement, Animal Control, Urban Forestry, Business Tax License Divisions. Code Staff: Manager; Assistant Code Manager (not filled as of yet); Code/Compliance Supervisor - 1 (Code and unlicensed contractors); Lead Code Officer - 1; Code Officer - 7 (full-time and 1 part-time); Animal Control Officers - 3; Urban

Forestry - 3; Business Tax License - 2 (contractor issues, solicitation, and Business Tax licenses). These employees do an exceptional job every day as our community continues to grow with so many new residents and properties to guide. That being said, the focus of our City Council has been to lower taxes for our residents while maintaining historical quality of life – residential service levels. We recently lowered our milage rate for this year’s budget, therefore limiting new funded positions. This illustrates once again the difficult balance your City Council faces, trying to keep taxes low and spending more money to meet more of our community needs.

Me, my werewolf & I Every October, Mike Cavaliere’s werewolf comes out of storage to celebrate Halloween with him — and to judge his life choices.

MIKE CAVALIERE CONTRIBUTING WRITER

His leg just wouldn’t stick. This werewolf — my werewolf — used to be so lively: fur-tight flannel shirt, hipster jeans. He had it all, the crème de la crème in dollar store Halloween decor. But now, it seemed, full moon was fading on my favorite paper friend.

“Hang in there, buddy,” I told him, curling a strip a blue painter’s tape in a loop, pressing it to the back of his leg then re-sticking the limb onto his hips. “Stay with me. You’re gonna make it.” He snarled at me like old pals do and, whole again, we both went back to our busy lives: me, working and cooking and wondering if they still make Hi-C Ecto Cooler (and if so, why it’s absent from my pantry), and him, hanging there, trying his best to scare off monsters, unaware that he’s one himself. The first time I saw him, over a decade ago, we locked eyes from across the discount shop. I was in the Spam department. He was in Halloween-Shaped Junk You’ll Wanna Keep Forever. And our connection was undeniable. I had a roommate then, and we displayed him prominently in our rental — a sign to outsiders that even though we were house people now, we were still young and kitschy and fun.

Question from W.W. Johnson: We have ... a streetlight that does not work. We have watched it being worked on and lights replaced, and it still goes dark. The pole is right across from the Indian Trails school; it provides security lighting for the homes behind it and to the children who walk to school. Why can’t they get it fixed?. I am truly grateful to citizens like you who are helping us keep our city safe. This is the highest priority for all of us. Regarding the malfunctioning streetlight, I contacted our city’s liaison with FPL to tell him about your concern. He told me that he will need more specific location details and he gave me permission to forward his personal cell phone number to you. Please feel free to contact our Executive Staff Assistant, Kendra Iannotti for this information. I hope this will help you. Question from Celia Pugliese: Is [the mayor] going to bring back the urgently needed two traffic calming islands in Florida Park Drive ASAP, for which over $163,000 was paid for engineer-

Then when I bought a place of my own, my werewolf traveled with me, just like he did when I got married, and then again when my wife, stepdaughter and I moved into our second home. That’s where he hangs now, right in the living room, tethering me to a former version of myself, to a past I barely recognize. “The zombie’s leg fell off again,” my wife, Rebecca, said, shuffling into the kitchen. I stopped chopping onions and set the knife down hard. “Um, you mean the werewolf?!” I said, stunned at her utter lack of empathy (or basic monster knowledge). She opened the fridge. “Yeah, whatever.” “WHATEVER?!” I marched right in to see him, this time with masking tape, and again I looped it, pressed it, held it until the leg stuck to his hips. Then the next day, a denim-clad Lycan limb slid into the dining room, stuck under the wheels of our robo-vacuum. “Look how they massacred my boy,” I cried, cradling the leg in my arms and looking to my werewolf for answers. He snarled at me the way family does when they know they can’t help you anymore and it’s time for them to go. Every moment Rebecca and I have

plastic “turf.” It just makes me cringe. And I ask myself, Why? Because it’s easy and convenient and looks “perfect?” Easy and convenient to whom? Certainly not the ecosystem; it supports no living creature. What about the thousands of living organisms in our soil, and our beneficial insects? I guess they’re all inconvenient. And, looks perfect? Screams fake to me. Additionally, fake turf is known to shed microplastics into our environment. We live in a coastal community, and the last thing we need to do is add to the ocean’s plastic pollution. Why not try planting something living? How about planting some native plants? They’re easy, look good and they thrive here! CONNIE HANNIGAN Flagler Beach

ing design and Lassiter traffic study done? ... Reason for the more urgent need ... is the incoming Wawa on Florida Park Drive. I’ve got some history on this project to share with you, Celia. At the July 12, 2022, meeting, council heard a presentation on the Florida Park Median Project. Staff made a presentation based on feasibility studies submitted by a consultant. Topics included proposed median locations, road detours, approximate closure duration, project bid highlights (two times original estimate) and a council direction was requested. After a discussion on price increase, potential phases of the project, economic conditions and reallocating funds, council determined not to move the project forward at that time. An analysis conducted by RMC Property Group determined that the WAWA opening will definitely increase traffic on Florida Park Drive. We remain absolutely sensitive to this concern. A plan may still be forwarded for the FY25 budget, so please remain vigilant with us, and know we all want the same thing for Palm Coast.

shared during every October since I’ve known her, my werewolf has closely monitored, a sharp-toothed Big Brother watching over us, casting judgement on our conversations. Should we buy, sell, settle, grow, fight or forgive? I’d defer to my werewolf and, usually, he’d communicate with his yellow eyes a sentiment along the lines of, “Only if it doesn’t interfere with our thing.” And I liked the security in that, the idea that you can stay close to youth by simply staying away from change. After the third time fixing his leg, though — this time with duct tape — only to find him amputated again the next morning, I knew “our thing” had run its course. “Au revoir,” Rebecca said, as I folded my werewolf up and laid him to rest in our trashcan. No goodbyes or goodnights exchanged. Just a monster transformed again by moonlight, this time into garbage. Silver ripped through the night sky just then above our family home. Just like it used to when I was young. Just like it always has. Mike Cavaliere is the author of The Humorist: Adventures in Adulting & Horror Movies, available on Amazon.

Rooted in tradition: Seabreeze hosts homecoming alumni reception Seabreeze held its first alumni reception for graduates from years ending in ‘3s’ on Oct. 19. MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mini quiche, sliders, 1963 jazz and memories were all part of the first Seabreeze alumni reception held for graduates of the years ending in three—1963, 1973, 1983, 1993, 2003 and 2013. The event was held in the Seabreeze cafeteria and catered by the school’s Academy of Culinary Design on Thursday, Oct. 19. The reception was the brainchild of Seabreeze Principal Tucker Harris. It came to fruition through the organizational efforts of his administrative assistant Jeanette Oberst and the culinary program. Academy chef Hannah Offenberg was in the culinary program at Seabreeze for four years and graduated in 2013. She attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Offenberg said it is sometimes referred to as “Hogwarts” for its castle-like appearance. She decided to return to teach at her alma mater. “I became a chef, then decided to come back to help the program because it was dying and needed help,” she said. “So, I was like, ‘I’ll stay for a year or two and help out.’ But five years later, I’m in love (with the program). It’s exciting.” Offenberg based the reception menu on specialty items her class used to serve at most of their events from 2009-2013. Quiche and sliders were usually the go-to. “Now that it is full circle, I wanted to bring that back to life,” she said. “I put my own spin to a few things, and a few things I’m sure alumni will recognize.” Class of 1993 graduates — Seabreeze ESE teacher Debbie Bradley Gibbens, Volusia County Council District 4 Representative Troy Kent and 1993 Mr. Seabreeze winner Brad Sargent — were in attendance. Gibbens said it was like nothing had changed except they were older. “The event is a great way for the alumni community to stay involved in our local high school to support future leaders and promote community partnerships,” she said. Gibbens is part of three generations of Sandcrabs. Her father, Marshall Bradley, graduated in 1965, coached at Seabreeze and was an assistant principal. Her son, Taylor Guinther, graduated in 2016, daughter Karlie Guinther graduated in 2021

SPORTS Celebration time

Flagler Palm Coast celebrates homecoming with 39-0 win over Celebration High School.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The football game began as many end — with an onside kick. Celebration High School recovered its opening kickoff, and Flagler Palm Coast proceeded to turn the ball over again on its next two possessions. It was not the start the Bulldogs were anticipating in their homecoming game on Oct. 20 against a team that arrived at Sal Campanella Memorial Stadium with a 1-6 record. But FPC went on to score five touchdowns and a safety in the second quarter to defeat the Storm 39-0. FPC (3-5) snapped its fourgame losing streak. While

coach Daniel Fish was not happy with the Bulldogs’ six turnovers, he was pleased with his team’s defense, which produced its first shutout of the season. Two goal-line stands in the second half kept Celebration off the scoreboard. “Our defense played well,” Fish said. “But we’ve got to do a better job protecting the ball, and we just got to be a little more productive in every phase of the game.” The Bulldogs were extremely productive in the second quarter as Robbie Dailey caught two touchdown passes from Caden Gonzalez, and running back Marcus Mitchell ran for two scores. Zyquan Neal intercepted two passes in the quarter, returning one for a touchdown. Neal’s pick-six came on the first play of the second quarter and opened the floodgates for the Bulldogs. By halftime, they led 37-0. With a scoring margin over 35 points, the entire second half was played under a running clock. On FPC’s final possession of the first quarter, Neal dropped a potential touchdown pass in the end zone on fourth down. “I don’t know how I dropped that,” the junior said. “As soon as I came down, it hit my knee and popped out.” He quickly made up for it when Benny Garnett hit the Storm’s quarterback as he was releasing the ball, and Neal picked off the pass and ran it back to give FPC a 7-0 lead. The Bulldogs followed with touchdowns on their next four possessions. A 41-yard pass from Gonzalez to tight end Roman Caliendo helped set up an 8-yard touchdown pass to Dailey, the junior’s first touchdown of his varsity career, to make it 14-0. Dailey’s 14-yard catch put the Bulldogs up 30-0 with 1:27 left in the first half. “It feels great,” Dailey said of his first two touchdown receptions. “On the first one, (Gonzalez) looked up at me pre-snap and gave me the signal and hit me on the slant. On the second one, he pulled it and made a great read. I was open in the middle, and I made it to the end zone.” Gonzalez passed for about 200 yards with big passing plays of 41, 34 and 25 yards to Caliendo and 45 yards to Mikhail Zysek. Offensive coordinator Jake Medlock said the Bulldogs focused on not dropping the ball after receivers dropped 14 passes from Gonzalez in a 58-43 loss

to Nease on Oct. 13. Medlock was happy to see the improvement. “Caden is really spinning it,” Medlock said. “He’s in rhythm, and he’s giving us a chance to win. And the offensive line is doing an unbelievable job of protection.” Neal’s second interception helped set up Mitchell’s 6-yard touchdown run with 7.6 seconds left in the half. Mitchell also scored on an 18-yard run that put FPC up 21-0. Josiah Hathaway’s tackle in the end zone for a safety made it 23-0. The Bulldogs added another safety in the third quarter as an errant snap on a Storm punt attempt went through the end zone. FPC’s defense helped the Bulldogs overcome six fumbles, including three on special teams. “It was homecoming week, with all those distractions,” Medlock said. “But we stopped our losing streak. That’s a positive.” With their tough schedule, the Bulldogs believe they can slip into the playoff picture with wins in their final two games against Tocoi Creek (Oct 27) and DeLand (Nov. 3), both at home. But they would likely need help. They were ranked 12th in the region, one spot behind Tocoi Creek, heading into the Celebration game. Eight teams in each region make the playoffs with four district champs earning automatic bids.

Trick for a treat Matanzas holds off Clay in a district football battle.

The Pirates’ Daniel DeFalco (6) takes a direct snap and gains the first down with 42.6 seconds left to secure the victory against the Blue Devils. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Pirates’ Landon Grover boots a 46-yard punt in the second quarter.

Matanzas tight end Daniel DeFalco received the lateral pass from quarterback Dakwon Evans, faked a run to draw in the safety and threw a perfect pass to Andre Andrews for a 30-yard touchdown. It went just the way the play was designed, and it gave the Pirates a 24-14 lead against Clay High with 1:45 left in the third quarter. Matanzas went on to win the district battle 24-21 on Oct. 20 at home to help solidify its spot in the Class 3S football playoffs. The Pirates (6-2) were ranked fourth among Region 1-3S teams before their win against the Blue Devils (4-4). Matanzas has two regular-season games remaining, beginning with a district showdown at northern neighbor Menendez (3-5) on Friday, Oct. 27, before closing the regular season at home against Winter Springs on Nov. 3. Against Gainesville a week earlier, DeFalco underthrew his receiver on the same play and was intercepted.

Matanzas Pirates fans cheer for their team in the Pink Out Student Section.

The senior also threw an interception earlier in the game against Clay. But his coaches never lost confidence in DeFalco’s ability to execute the trick play at a critical point in the game. “We’ve been practicing that,” Pirates coach Matt Forrest said. “We practice all of our special plays multiple times during the week. We felt it was the right time to try it again, because they knew our quick screens are a key part of our offense. It worked out in our favor. Kwon showed composure by giving him a good ball he could handle, and Daniel did a good job selling it, getting the safety to come up. He made such a great throw. We needed a big play, and our guys couldn’t have executed it better.” DeFalco also caught a touchdown pass as Evans found him wide open for a 69-yard play in the second quarter. Evans and Andrews also hooked up with Andrews catching a screen pass and running 49 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. Clay pulled to within three points on Merrick Rapoza’s third short touchdown run with 1:52 left in the game. With 42 seconds remaining, Forrest called on DeFalco to take a direct snap on a fourth-and-2. DeFalco gained the first down, allowing the Pirates to run out the clock. “Daniel had to get 2 yards, and he got 2 and a quarter,” Forrest said. “We wanted to end it there. The players wanted to go win it. We could have punted, and we have a great punter

in Landon Grover, but we wanted to control our own destiny.” Grover kicked a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter after the Blue Devils took an early 7-0 lead. Matanzas went up 11-7 on Evans’ touchdown pass to DeFalco and Cole Hash’s 2-point conversion pass. The Pirates’ offense had an upand-down night. “We’re still waiting on that breakout game offensively,” Forrest said. “We’re not having 11 guys in sync all the time. We’re making mental errors. We’re putting the ball on the ground.” Matanzas lost a fumble when it led by 10 in the fourth quarter. The Pirates fumbled three other times but recovered them. “Our guys on offense know they have to clean that stuff up,” Forrest said. “We’re proud of (DeFalco), and we’re proud of all of our guys. They’re not afraid of those moments. We’re turning into a team that finds a way to win.”

“We needed a big play, and our guys couldn’t have executed it better.” MATT FORREST

Fun on the green: Matanzas, FPC golfers enjoy season-ending Palm Coast Cup The Pirates won the trophy in the co-ed tournament, with Gazzoli and Parker edging Carlisi and Dodson for low score. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

FPC’s Carmella Carlisi chips onto the green for an easy putt.

Sure, there is a trophy at stake for the winning high school in the Palm Coast Cup. But while the more well-known Potato Bowl provides a year’s worth of bragging rights for the winning football team, golf’s version of the Flagler Palm Coast-Matanzas rivalry is more about camaraderie than competition. Everything about the Palm Coast Cup is fun, from the scramble format to the co-ed teams, the longest drives and closest-to-the-pin contests and dinner after the match with players from both teams enjoying each other’s company. “It’s great, because we don’t normally get to the see the girls from our own high school play golf,” FPC’s Wynter Dodson said. “They play on a different golf course.” Matanzas was the overall winner, 141-164, at the third annual Palm Coast Cup on Thursday, Oct. 19 at Palm Harbor Golf Club. The top three teams were Alexandra Gazzoli and Londen Turlington Parker of Matanzas at 31; Carmella Carlisi and Dodson of FPC at 32; and Zoe Alred and Trevor Challice of

Matanzas at 33. The teams were picked out of a hat. The tournament bridges the regular season and the postseason, with district tournaments played on Oct. 23-24. “It’s fun,” Dodson said. “Scrambles aren’t too common in high school, so we get to have lower scores because we help each other out.” Carlisi and Dodson played against Gazzoli and Parker. “I asked her for advice a lot,” Parker said of Gazzoli, who is the defending girls 2A state champ, the Florida Women’s Amateur Stroke Play champ and a future Florida State University golfer.

“What she would consider a bad shot was great for me,” Parker said. But Gazzoli said they both had their share of best shots. “It worked out. I’d hit a bad shot, he’d hit a good shot,” she said. “If he was in the fairway, I would hit driver where usually I would lay off the tee.” “We’d take turns,” Parker said. “I’d play it safe, she’d play aggressively or she’d play it safe and I’d play aggressively.” “I loved it,” Alred of the tourney. “It gave us a chance to know the boys team better, to build better relationships.”

Sandcrab girls bowl to fourth district win Seabreeze’s girls and boys teams, FPC’s Emma Pezzullo and Matanzas’ Grant McMillan advanced to the state championships. MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Seabreeze girls and boys finish onetwo in the District 3 bowling championship on Monday, Oct. 23, held at Ormond Lanes. It is the fourth title in a row for the girls. The girls had three straight baker wins — University 3-0, FPC 3-1, Palatka 3-0. They will be returning to the Boardwalk Bowl Entertainment Center in Orlando for another run at the state championship next week starting on Oct. 31. The Seabreeze boys team also qualified for states this year. Madison Kuenning was speechless regarding the return to the state championships. “I mean, I really, really hoped we were going to (go to state),” she said. “But we did win state two years ago, and we were runner up last year. It’s obviously a taboo topic in our group. We weren’t going to be cocky about it and we weren’t, but we are happy we made it this year because it is most of our senior years.” Kuenning said the driving factor behind the team’s success is Brian Beissel — teammate Kara Beisssel’s dad. He started recruiting the girls to bowl when they were 10 or 11 years old. They have been bowling together for seven years. “I knew when Kara got to high school to bowl, we weren’t going to have any girls, so I started working with all of these girls when they were in fourth grade,” he said. Four Seabreeze girls placed in the top 10 for individuals. Flagler Palm Coast’s Emma Pezzullo finished first with a 662 series and the district trophy. Breanna Hess snagged second with teammates Kara Beissel placing third, Stacey Spaulding fourth and Hailey Holcomb finishing ninth. Beissel has been bowling since she was 4 years old. Her parents took

her to the bowling alley just to find out if she liked it or not. She did, and aside from a brief stint in gymnastics, bowling has been her only sport. Next year, after graduating from Seabreeze, Beissel will head to Youngstown State University on a bowling scholarship. “Being a team made us all come together and realize that, if one of us has an open, then we make sure we pick each other up,” she said. “It hasn’t been the best season (for me) bowling-wise, but friend-wise it has been amazing, team-wise it has been great. Having Breanna (Hess) back on the team has been amazing.” Seabreeze boys had two baker wins against Spruce Creek and DeLand but lost 0-3 to DeLand in the final rounds. Logan Compton and Brayden Barnes placed fourth and fifth respectively with their individual scores. Pedro Menendez’s Eli Anckner got the individual district win with a 705 series. Matanzas’ Grant McMillan and Spruce Creek’s Logan Wolak tied with a 692. The two were forced into a rolloff toward the end of the tournament. McMillan won it with a strike and a nine-spare. Wolak’s six on his final frame clinched the trip to the state championships for McMil-

lan. “I didn’t think I’d won yet,” McMillan said. “I kind of did it in my head, but I’m used to when it comes to bowling math, not being right ... I turned around to the hundred people saying he won before I realized I won, then all of a sudden there’s a whole bunch of fists everywhere and hands. It was a big relief. I’m done. I finished it. Now I can go home. I have physics homework.” In June, McMillan was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease site, fibromyalgia can affect anyone, but it ordinarily starts in middle-age people, and the risks increase with age. More women than men get the chronic disorder. At 17, McMillan is in the minority. He said he grew up playing most sports and got pretty good at them. He picked up bowling his sophomore year, just before fibromyalgia struck. It is the only sport he can participate in today. McMillan said his plan for going PALM COAST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH into the state championship is to control his pain with Tylenol and CONCERT SERIES Austin Weeks, Kaleb Costello and Grant McMillan relax in between games at the Advil.

tournament is an all-day affair. “It’s rough to go from waking up in the morning and going for runs or bike rides, then to the bowling team and realizing, if I hadn’t joined the bowling team, I would have no idea what to do — I would have noth-

ing,” he said. “When I first joined the bowling team, I stuck around (for other reasons) and ended up falling in love with bowling. Having a team of guys around my age who all enjoy the bowling team as well, is really great.”

On Sept. 30, Anna Nugent completed the Run Matanzas Cross Country Invitational in 23 minutes, 25.8 seconds. Less than three weeks later on the same course, the Father Lopez sophomore improved her time by nearly a minute and a half and won her first race. Nugent ran a 22:01.4 to collect the first-place medal at the Volusia-Flagler Freshman/Sophomore Championships on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at Matanzas High School. Freshman Connor York of DeLand won the boys race. “I’ve never placed first,” said Nugent, who is lives in Ormond Beach. “It feels great. My hard work paid off.” The course wasn’t exactly the same as it was for Run Matanzas due to the construction of a new multipurpose building next to the football stadium. The new route takes runners onto the baseball field. The course also wasn’t as wet and muddy as it had been for Run Matanzas. And Nugent ran faster at last year’s Run Matanzas, with a time of 21:53.5. But she has been steadily improving since joining Green Wave’s cross country team as a freshman. She ran a personal record 21:09.3 at the BaleN-Trail meet on Sept. 23 at Bartram Trail High School. “I always liked running, but my elementary and middle schools didn’t have any sports,” she said. After passing Spruce Creek’s Sophia Medina at around the onemile mark, Nugent led the rest of the way. Matanzas freshman Noemi Malinowksi placed second with a time of 22:09.1. “I was trying hard to catch (Nugent),” said Malinowski, who led the Matanzas girls to a first-place team finish. Four other Matanzas runners finished in the top 15. Sara Van Buren (23:17.4) was sixth, Lupita Galeano (23:36.8) eighth, Megan Rhee (23:53.6) 10th and Gabrielle Duncan (24:43.9) 13th. Flagler Palm Coast freshman Audrey Bowman placed fourth behind New Smyrna Beach’s Mya Erwin with a time of 22:21.1. Other locals who finished among
