CITY WATCH

Utility study proposes phased 18% rate increase

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Recreation fund sees $1.5 million surplus Palm Coast’s recreation impact fee fund exceeded its 2022-2023 fiscal year budget by $1.5 million because construction projects are ahead of schedule.

Financial Services Director Helena Alves said city projects funded by the recreation impact fee fund were ahead of what was budgeted for construction in fiscal year 2023. “[It’s] is a good thing to have when you have ongoing projects,” Alves said.

Normally, the costs of the projects carry through into the next fiscal year’s budget, she said.

The additional costs total $1,524,912, increasing the total recreation fund budget expenditures from $10.1 million to $11.7 million.

The Palm Coast City Council needed to approve an amendment to the 20222023 fiscal year budget, which can be done up to 60 days after the end of a fiscal year. The 2023 fiscal year budget ended Sept. 30.

The council approved the amendment to the 2023 budget in a 4-0 vote, with Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin absent from the meeting.

A rate study by Palm Coast’s utility department shows that the city must raise utility rates and development impact fees to keep up with growing water and wastewater demands.

A rate study by a consultant suggested that the city increase utility rates by 18%.

Utility Director Steve Flanagan said at a Palm Coast City Council meeting on Nov. 14 that the city’s continued growth means demand on its water and wastewater services is increasing.

To meet that demand, the utility department plans to expand several water and wastewater treatment plants and undertake other capital projects, Flanagan said.

But it will need more funding.

Wastewater Treatment Plan No. 1, for example, is scheduled for a capacity upgrade in 2031, Flanagan said. But the latest analysis shows that the city’s recent growth over the last five years means that upgrade needs to happen sooner.

“The latest analysis report advanced the upgrade to fiscal year 2027,” Flanagan said. “This is a vital project to provide for our system and community growth.”

Flanagan and Eric Rowe, representing Stantec Management Consulting, which conducted the rate study, presented the analysis and two possible rate increase scenarios to the City Council.

The analysis projected that over the 10 years from fiscal years 2024 to 2033, the needed capital projects would cost $635 million. Between fiscal years 2024 and 2026, capital projects would cost $225 million.

Rowe said while around $44 million in available grants and loans can go toward the $225 million, the city must also consider the projected increase to the utility department’s operational costs.

The analysis showed that personnel and equipment costs could increase by $6 million per year by 2028, he said. By 2033, operating costs could increase to $70 million.

To minimize impacts on residents, the rate increases would only apply to the consumption rate of utility bills, not the fixed charges, Rowe said.

Scenario one splits the increase to residents between one 12.5% increase in 2024 and one 6% increase in 2025. Scenario two splits the increase among three 6% increases in 2024 and 2025.

Rowe said the average single-family home in Palm Coast has a monthly bill of $71.09. Scenario one’s initial 12.5% increase would increase that bill to $79.97 in October 2024, and then to $84.76 in October 2025 after the final 6% increase.

Scenario two would increase the bill to $75.35 in April 2024, $79.87 in October 2024 and $84.66 in October 2025.

The rates would return to standard inflationary increases after that, at around 3%, Rowe said.

Rowe said that to curb expense hikes for people on fixed incomes, Stantec also recommends creating a fifth price tier for water consumption with a reduced rate, called the “Life Line” tier. The city’s current lowest water consumption tier is 0-5,000 gallons.

The new tier would be 0-2,000 gallons at a reduced rate, and the next tier would be 2,001-5,000 gallons. Rowe said 48% of single-family homes fall under the 2,000-gallon limit.

Stantec also proposed an increase in the one-time impact fees for developers. Legally, Rowe said, the state limits impact fee increases to 50% of the current rate. Stantec proposed the city increase the impact fees to developers by 12.5% a year over four years until it reaches that 50% limitation, starting in November 2024.

The 12.5% installments would increase impact fees from $6,145 to $9,218 by fiscal year 2028.

Council hesitates to approve rate increase The members of the City Council were hesitant to voice approval for the increase.

Vice Mayor Ed Danko — presiding over the meeting in Mayor David Alfin’s absence — likened the study to using a crystal ball. No one knows for sure that costs will be that high in the future, he said, especially after the next presidential election.

“We’ve got to worry about what

our residents pay,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of people on a fixed income.”

Council member Nick Klufas said he appreciated the addition of the Life Line tier to help protect families on limited incomes.

“People today who are having their water turned off are most apt to be the ones who fall victim to these types of studies,” Klufas said.

Council member Theresa Carli Pontieri suggested that city staff bring the council a model delaying scenario two’s first increase until October 2024 and increasing the impact fee rate further, also to be implemented in October 2024.

“I am very hesitant to raise anything on our residents above a normal CPI increase, specifically, until we see what we can bring in from these impact fees,” she said.

Property issues inhibit development Palm Coast received 24 requests for information from businesses looking to move to Palm Coast in the last year.

For 12 of those businesses, Palm Coast did not have the space the companies requested, Palm Coast Chief of Staff Jason DeLorenzo said at a Nov. 14 council meeting presentation summarizing economic development efforts in the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

“You’re aware that we continue to struggle with available buildings,” he told the council. ‘We’re getting a lot of requests for space.”

The 12 businesses were looking for buildings ranging from 16,000 square feet to 680,000 square feet. They represent $57 million in potential investments and $12,750,000 in lost potential for annual wages.

“They want to get to market as quickly as possible,” DeLorenzoe said. “And that limitation is slowing down our opportunities right now.”

Council member Theresa Carli Pontieri asked city staff to bring the council some options about investing in spec buildings.

Three other businesses out of the 24 did not seem to city staff to fit in with the community, DeLorenzo said.

One was a smokestack-type industrial business, and another was a place to raise non-human primates for medical testing, he said.

DeLorenzo said Palm Coast Park Tract 17 — a city-owned tract — was one of 10 sites in Florida selected by Florida Power & Light for its Florida First Sites program. The program is a site-certification program that develops project-ready industrial sites.

“FPL is doing all of the marketing for this site, including some drone work,” he said.

Our sacred obligation Flagler County celebrates Veterans Day, awards Veteran of the Year.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Flagler County celebrated Veterans Day with a ceremony and, for the first time in 60 years, a Veterans Day Parade.

The parade was organized by Bunnell Police Chief David Brannon and stretched from the historic Coquina City Hall building in Bunnell to the Flagler County Government Services Building on State Road 100. U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz was the parade’s grand marshal.

William May — a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and the commander of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 86 — was the guest speaker at the ceremony.

During the ceremony, former U.S. Navy Capt. Randall Stapleford was awarded the “Colonel Gary E. DeKay” Veteran of the Year Award.

“I am more than humbled,” Stapleford said. “It is more than a reward to help people.”

Stapleford served as a naval aviator in the Reserve Officer Training Corps and later, on active duty, as an air anti-submarine pilot. Veteran Services Officer David Lydon said Stapleford earned the “Wings of Gold” medal with 13 years of sea duty, 7,000 flight hours and over 1,000 aircraft carrier arrested landings.

After retiring from the Navy, Stapleford worked for the U.S. Department of State Antiterrorism Assistance Program. Later on, Stapleford joined then-Congressman Ron DeSantis’ staff and now works on Waltz’s staff as a military and veterans affairs outreach coordinator.

Stapleford also serves on the Flagler County Veterans Advisory Council.

Waltz said during the ceremony that America is unique in that it is the only country in the world that will send its own people to fight for other people’s freedom.

“My sacred obligation — our sacred obligation — is not only to take care of the men and women that are out there right now,” he said, “but to take care of the ones who have served in the past.”

Waltz said the nation needs to continue showing support for its veterans and inspiring the county’s youth to serve.

“We are coming together much more than the news reports,” Waltz said. “But I think we can do better.”

FLAGLER COUNTY NAACP CHAPTER HONORS 30 FLAGLER VETERANS Thirty Flagler County veterans were honored for their service on Nov. 10 by the local NAACP Chapter 5147’s Veterans Affairs Committee. The veterans were each given an afghan blanket at the committee’s meet and greet event at the African American Cultural Society.

“I believe that the veterans really enjoyed the event because it was personal. We brought them up one by one,” Committee Chair Adolphus “AJ” Evans Jr. said.

Over 90 people attended the meet and greet to honor the veterans, he said.

“We did not specify rank or military branch, but the individual veteran, all equal,” he said. “And they loved it.”

Bill May, commander of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 86; and Palm Coast City Council member Cathy Heighter were the guest speakers at the event. Evans said Heighter also provided the afghans that were given to the veterans.

Evans said honoring veterans is one way the local NAACP chapter sets out to be a good community partner.

“To implement, execute positive activities within the community [is our goal],” he said. “We’re not only a community organization, we are part of the community.”

Palm Coast to investigate bad drainage on new builds City Manager Denise Bevan asked residents to reach out to the city if they have a history of flooding at their home. A new task force will review each residence.

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Palm Coast has formed a task force to investigate the problem of new home construction sites causing flooding in the yards of existing homes.

Palm Coast City Manager Denise Bevan said the task force will be composed of the city’s internal technical staff. The team will review each residence on a case-by-case basis. The first meeting was held after the City Council meeting on Nov. 14 “If you have history of flooding in your home, contact the city,” Bevan said. “Because if you don’t have flood insurance, we don’t know that you had flooding in your home.”

The flooding problem was first brought to the City Council’s attention by Birchwood Drive residents Mara Weurth and Paul Fink. A new home is being built at 98 Birchwood — the lot between Weurth and Fink’s homes — that they say is much higher than their own homes and likely to cause water damage in their yards.

Weurth and Fink are not the only Palm Coast residents with this prob-

lem, though 98 Birchwood Drive has seemed to open the floodgates of complaints.

On Thursday, Nov. 9, Weurth, Fink and other residents met at 98 Birchwood with Vice Mayor Ed Danko and Estela Living building supervisor Doug Griesemer. Estela Living is the developer of 98 Birchwood.

Multiple city staff members — including Chief of Staff Jason DeLorezo and Stormwater Deputy Director Lynn Stevens — also attended to answer questions from residents.

When asked about the lack of height regulations on new builds, Stevens said the city is reviewing its Land Development Code, and the lack of height regulation is among the topics that will be discussed.

Griesmer and city staff echoed the statements Stevens told the Observer previously: if a property is holding water after a neighboring lot is built out, it’s because the property was draining onto the vacant lots.

“The foundation height doesn’t dictate the drainage,” Griesmer said.

“All I can do is tell you what we’re going to do. And I’m going to keep the water on my lot.”

Griesemer told Weurth, Fink and Danko that when the build is finished, the sides of the yard along the property will have two small drainage ditches to deliver any stormwater to the swale at the front of the yard.

Palm Coast lots are required to drain from the back of the property to the front swales, Stevens said.

Griesmer even agreed to create a

BRIEFS The Lake to Lagoon regional conservation partnership program has been awarded $25 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conserve sensitive agricultural lands and implement conservation and land management activities that will bolster climate resiliency.

The Lake to Lagoon area includes Volusia, Lake and Flagler counties.

The Alachua Conservation Trust leads the Lake to Lagoon program in collaboration with Volusia County and Stetson University’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience.

Volusia County is the largest contributor to the program, having provided $20 million in matching funds through the voter-approved Volusia Forever program.

Other member organizations are the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, St. Johns River Water Management District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and more.

“Through this innovative publicprivate partnership, Volusia County will be able to provide farmers, ranchers, and foresters with an alternative to selling their land for development and allow them to maintain it for agricultural production in perpetuity,” Land Acquisition Manager Tim Telfer said.

The program will begin in 2024 and run through 2029.

document guaranteeing that Estela Living will be liable if water from 98 Birchwood caused flooding on Fink and Weurth’s lots.

Danko demanded Griesmer have the owners of Estela Living call him to make that guarantee, too. At the City Council meeting on Nov. 14, Danko said he had yet to hear from them.

Kandi Stevens, a Palm Coast resident in District 2, told the Observer that her home is neighbored by two new homes that were built in the last several years. Since both builds have

been completed, her property now floods, to the point that her son’s room had water damage after Hurricane Nicole.

It had never done that before, she said.

“We’re paying the tax dollars right now, not the people that are going to live in the new houses,” Kandi Stevens said at the Nov. 14 meeting.

“So, we need to get our stuff fixed that we’re paying for so our houses and our yards don’t flood anymore.”

AdventHealth’s new prostate procedure RV gift helps celebrate first year of Flagler CORe With the help of a robot, Palm Coast Parkways’ Dr. Ali Tourchi performs aquablation therapy, which uses precise mapping and a water jet to remove tissue.

The Recovery Vehicle will allow Flagler Open Arms Recovery Services to bring services to those in need.

Dr. Ali Tourchi learned how to perform aquablation therapy to treat noncancerous enlarged prostates when he was a urology resident in Arkansas.

Now, Tourchi is performing the procedure at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway. He is the only physician in Flagler, Volusia or Lake counties performing the minimally invasive procedure. Instead of incisions or lasers, the procedure involves a jet of water delivered by a robot to remove tissue at precise locations.

Tourchi maps out a full view of the prostate using both ultrasound imaging and a camera which is inserted through the urethra.

“We tell our robot where the aquablation zone is based on the ultrasound and direct view of the prostate,” Tourchi said. “Then we will use high-pressure cold water to cut through the prostate to open up the channel which has been obstructed by a big prostate, which is very common in men over age 50.”

The procedure takes about an hour, with the robotic treatment itself lasting just five minutes. Since October, Tourchi and his team have performed 11 aquablation treatments. All of them have been successful, he said.

“It usually takes six weeks to see the full effectiveness of it, but many of our patients, even two weeks after,

they’re impressed by the results,” Tourchi said. “Some of our patients had other types of surgery for their prostate but it didn’t work as they expected, and they had this kind of surgery, and they were all impressed.”

With such a detailed view of the prostate, Tourchi is able to tell the robot exactly how deep and at what angle to direct the water.

“Each patient gets the treatment that is perfect for them,” he said.

“Prostate tissue can go to different depths. Based on the findings of the surgeons’ imaging, the robot finds the perfect depths, which doesn’t cause any damage to other tissues around the prostate. That’s why it causes less chances of erectile dysfunction, less chances of patients having sexual dysfunction, meaning having a difficulty in ejaculation,

“Some of our patients had other types of surgery for their prostate but it didn’t work as they expected, and they had this kind of surgery, and they were all impressed by it.”

and less chances of bleeding after the surgery.”

Because of the precision of the treatment, 10 out of 10 men do not leak urine after undergoing the procedure, Tourchi said.

“The problem with previous procedures was that we were using either heat or electricity, which caused a lot of irritation to the bladder and prostate or a lot of bleeding.

Patients needed to stay in the hospital for a long time,” Tourchi said.

The robot is not mobile, so the procedure is only available at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway in the three-county area. It is also available at AdventHealth Celebration, Winter Garden and Kissimmee, according to an AdventHealth press release.

Tourchi said a waiting list for the procedure is almost nonexistent.

“If they need the surgery, we will offer it to them right away,” he said.

“We are proud to serve the county of Flagler and surrounding counties.

And we are blessed to be at AdventHealth Palm Coast Parkway to have this robot available.”

Flagler Cares celebrated the first anniversary of the Flagler County Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORe) initiative with an open house and a gift to one of its partners in the program.

“Together, we’re making a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of our community,” said Flagler Cares Chief Innovation Officer Jeannette Simmons, who is the program coordinator for Flagler County CORe. In the year since the county received a $1.2 million grant from the Florida Department of Health to establish the CORe, 154 people have participated in CORe’s recovery services, with 89 currently enrolled.

The Department of Health in Flagler County selected Flagler Cares to coordinate multiple agencies that work together to treat and care for people during each stage of recovery.

The program is being funded by the Florida Department of Children and Families and LSF Health Systems.

After the Nov. 7 open house at Flagler Cares’ offices, Flagler Open Arms Recovery Services held a ribbon cutting in the City Market Place parking lot for the RV — Recovery Vehicle — that Flagler Cares provided.

The RV will allow Flagler OARS to bring services to people who might not have transportation.

“One of the big barriers to recovery is transportation,” said Pam Birtolo, Flagler OARS’ executive director.

“They can’t get to a doctor or therapist, so we said, ‘Let’s go to where they are and bring services there.’”

Services include peer support, HIV and Hepatitis C testing and Nar-

can distribution. Flagler OARS also hopes to partner with the Department of Motor Vehicles to provide ID cards.

Flagler OARS has received permission from the county to provide services at the county’s parks. The RV will stop weekly at Hidden Trails Park in Bunnell to provide peer services and distribute Narcan, Outreach Lead Eric Hoeni said.

“All these different agencies want to get to people, but the people can’t get to them,” Birtolo said.

Other partner agencies and organizations involved in the CORe initiative include Flagler County Fire Rescue Community Paramedicine and Outreach Community Care Network.

Since the start of the initiative, Community Paramedicine has administered 240 in-field doses of buprenorphine, a medicationassisted treatment for opioid use disorders to help control cravings, paramedic Tracy Farmer said.

The program then progresses to include peer recovery services, behavioral health, housing and social care navigation, psychiatric evaluation and services and group counseling and support.

Flagler Pharmacy Manager Pat Patel attended the open house. The Flagler Pharmacy in Flagler Beach provides free flu shots and COVID vaccinations for uninsured patients, he said.

Simmons thanked former DOHFlagler administrator Bob Snyder for reaching out to Flagler Cares to coordinate the program. She also thanked Flagler Cares Chief Executive Officer Carrie Baird “for saying, ‘Yes, let’s do this!’”

DYNAMIC DUO 10:28 p.m. — First block of Tree House Place, Palm Coast Trespassing, Grand theft. A father and son were arrested after “dumpster diving” on construction properties.

A resident on Tree House Place called deputies out to the street when she saw a pickup truck pull up in front of one new-home construction site and then drive down to another site on the same street, according to an arrest report.

When the deputy showed up and questioned the two adult men, the men said they were dumpster diving. In the bed of the suspects’ truck was a box of unused drywall joint compound, wood boards — some with nails stuck in them — and several lengths of wire.

The compound retails for $16.49, the report said. The father admitted to entering the construction build, but said they found the compound box next to the dumpster.

Flagler sheriff conducts traffic stop, catches fugitive Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly conducted a traffic stop on Nov. 6 that led to the arrest of three people.

Staly pulled over a Chrysler van with six occupants in Bunnell near State Road 100 and County Road 55 for passing two cars in a double yellow no-passing zone, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office press release.

Two of the passengers were arrested on a variety of drug posses-

BRIEFS Wadsworth Park skate park closes for renovations The skate park area in Wadsworth Park has closed for repair and renovation, Flagler County Parks and Recreation announced on Wednesday, Nov. 8. The rest of the park will remain open.

The county government will begin repairing ramp sections and a section of concrete at the skatepark starting Monday, Nov. 13 according to the Flagler County government.

“We will remove the section that cannot be repaired, repair the section that can be repaired and replace a small area of concrete that has failed,” Flagler County General

sion charges, and the driver had a warrant from Putnam County for child support.

The driver initially gave Staly a false name and was driving with a suspended license, according to the press.

The driver has been charged with providing a false name and driving with a suspended license.

During a search of the van, backup deputies found several narcotics including fentanyl, cathinones, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, according to the press release.

Services Director Mike Dickson said in an email.

The skate park area is expected to reopen by the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 17.

Flagler Beach resident Jay Wolfington started a petition on Change.org on Nov. 8 to get the skate park area fixed. The petition had 1,064 signatures as of the afternoon of Nov. 13.

In the synopsis for the petition, Wolfington wrote that Flagler Beach does not have enough positive recreational outlets for its youth.

“Rebuilding the Flagler Beach Skatepark would not only provide an outlet for physical activity but also foster a sense of community among our youth,” Wolfington wrote.

“It would serve as a safe space where they can find mentorship and camaraderie just as I did during my formative years.”

YOUR TOWN AMERICAN LEGION MARKS VETERAN’S 100TH BIRTHDAY American Legion Post 115 has thrown a birthday party for World War II veteran Mary German.

German turned 100 on Friday, Nov. 10. The post hosted the dance party — which was combined with a celebration honoring the Marine Corps Ball — at the Veterans of Foreign Affairs building.

“I’m living for today,” German said.

“I feel very much alive, so I thank God every day.”

In 1943, at 20 years old, German enlisted in the newly-formed Naval Reserves Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Services program, according to a press release from the American Legion post.

After basic training in New York, German was trained for medical duty in Bethesda, Maryland, and

STATE BRIEF Legislature sanctions Iran, boosts security at Jewish schools Wrapping up a special legislative session shadowed by the war between Israel and Hamas, the Florida Senate on Wednesday, Nov. 8, passed measures to expand sanctions against Iran and provide money to bolster security at Jewish day schools and preschools.

The Senate unanimously approved the bills, which passed the House on Tuesday. They are ready to go to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Legislative leaders called the special session after the Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, touching off a war that has killed thousands of people in Israel and Gaza.

While the special session also

finished her two-year enlistment at a U.S. Naval Hospital in Shoemaker, California.

Around 100 people attended German’s party, including City Council member Cathy Heighter, the Department of Florida American Legion Cmdr. Michael Raymond, and Assistant Judge Advocate Gene Smith, according to the press release.

Post 115 Finance Officer Ophelia Beier helped arrange the party for German.

Beier said that as a veteran herself, she thanked German “for her valor, strength, courage and deidcation for leading the way for other female veterans in the military.”

addressed issues such as providing aid to areas hit by Hurricane Idalia, lawmakers focused heavily on showing support for Israel and Jewish residents of Florida.

That included passing bills to target Iran, a key backer of Hamas, and to counter a rise in anti-Semitism.

One of the bills (HB 5C) would expand restrictions on state investments in businesses with ties to Iran.

The measure would expand a 2007 law that requires the State Board of Administration to divest from what are known as “scrutinized” companies with links to Iran’s petroleum industry.

Certain financial criteria are used in determining whether companies land on the scrutinized list.

The State Board of Administration manages Florida’s massive pension fund and other investments.

Under the bill, the investment restrictions would expand to other types of industries, such as the financial, construction, manufacturing, textile and manufacturing

sectors.

House and Senate bill sponsors acknowledged they do not know how many companies could be affected by the expansion.

But supporters said it is important for Florida to show that it does not want state money supporting Iran.

“They don’t want America to survive,” Sen. Jay Collins, R-Tampa, said Wednesday before the Senate passed the bill. “They stand in opposition to everything we stand for.”

But some Democratic lawmakers questioned whether the bill would have much effect.

Among other things, the federal government has imposed a wide range of economic sanctions against Iran in the decades since hostages were taken at the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.

“I just want to make sure we’re doing real things here, as opposed to puffery,” Sen. Jason Pizzo, D-Sunny Isles Beach, said.

Volusia lobbies to change affordable housing law that affects Home Rule Lobbyists are presenting legislators with almost 20 recommendations for changes to the newly created Live Local Act. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

Volusia officials are asking state legislators to amend a recently signed affordable housing bill that lets developers build apartments at the highest allowed density without authorization from local governments.

Senate Bill 102, also known as the Live Local Act, went into effect in July. The law grants developers the right to build these high-density multifamily or mixed-use residential buildings on land zoned commercial, industrial or mixed-use, as long as at least 40% of units are slated for affordable housing. If the number of affordable housing units meets the law’s standard, developers would get a 75% or 100% property tax exemption for 30 years.

But the law is instead causing threats of negative impacts in Volusia cities. DeBary City Manager Carmen Rosamonda, who is spearheading the Volusia charge to amend the law, said at the Roundtable of Volusia

County Elected Officials meeting on Monday, Nov. 13, that the bill’s language permits tax exemptions to developers renting out apartments at the current market rate.

“This is going to create a lot of apartments, but it’s not going to create a lot of affordable housing,” Rosamonda said.

The Live Local Act states that developers can qualify for a 75% property tax exemption if they rent 40% of apartment units to people whose annual household income “is greater than 80% but not more than 120% of the median annual adjusted gross income for households within the metropolitan statistical area.” To qualify for a 100% tax exemption, the units would need to be rented to people whose median income doesn’t exceed the 80% median annual adjusted gross income.

The median household income for the Deltona-Daytona BeachOrmond Beach metropolitan area is $78,700, according to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. The 80% to 120% income range for a one-person household is $43,360 to $65,040. Based on rent limits as outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for between $1,162 and $1,743 to qualify as an eligible affordable housing unit for a Live Local development.

DeBary City Manager Carmen Rosamonda speaks at the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting at the county Emergency Operations Center on Monday, Nov. 13.

According to Rent.com, the average rent in Daytona Beach for a onebedroom apartment is $1,664.

“It just funds current market rate, and so when it funds current market rate, it becomes pure profit,” Rosamonda said.

The law also creates an “unfair competitive marketplace,” he added, since there will be apartments paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in property taxes while the new Live Local apartments — renting units out at the same or similar rates — will be mostly or entirely tax exempt.

“And so what we have to do is change the law, make sure that the tax exemption — whatever they get, if you really, truly want to do affordable housing — that they have to use the tax exemption to subsidize rental rates,” Rosamonda said.

In June, Ormond Beach City Commissioners begrudgingly approved the 270-unit Tymber Creek Apartments development at 36 N. Tymber Creek Road with a 4-1 vote, mainly because the developer could have built up to 525 units on the 19-acre property under the Live Local Act guidelines. Commissioners said they believed it was “too important a gamble” to take.

Rosamonda and Volusia lobbyists, with input from other Volusia County municipalities, are meeting with Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo on Tuesday, Nov. 14, in Tallahassee to present almost 20 recommendations for changes to the law. Among those proposed changes are eliminating the 80% to 120% median income range and using only 80% or less for the rent limits; exempting commercial, industrial and mixed uses within Planned Unit Developments; exempting jurisdictions with a population of 30,000 or less; and eliminating the high density requirement and capping it at 12 units per acre.

When these changes were proposed to the Volusia County legislative delegation, they received a mixed reaction, County Councilman Jake Johansson said at the meeting.

He asked Rosamonda if that had changed.

PALM COAST LOOKS TO INCORPORATE LIVE LOCAL ACT IN DEVELOPMENTS Some community members in Palm Coast and Flagler County are looking for ways to embrace the Live Local Act in the Flagler County community.

Palm Coast Planning Board Vice Chair Sandra Shank said local developers have already expressed interest in using Live Local Act incentives in their developments. Shank said the Live Local Act opens doors to address the affordable housing crisis in a community without creating concentrated poverty.

“It removes barriers for developers who are interested in affordable housing,” Shank said.

“Not just your traditional developers, but even nonprofit developers.”

The Live Local Act, which passed the Senate in March, incentivizes developers and builders to include affordable housing in their developments.

Shank said a lot of people have a stereotyped understanding of what affordable housing means.

“Affordable” simply means that only 30% of household income is spent on housing.

“When you think about your essential services,” Shank said, “those are the people, those are the workers, who are in need of affordable housing.”

Rosamonda said the legislators were “softening.”

“They’re realizing from the business side (that) this doesn’t make any sense,” he said. “And they realize that this bill misses the target on affordable housing and incentivizes it in the wrong direction.”

Both the Florida Association of Counties and the Florida League of Cities originally supported the passing of the Live Local Act. Rosamonda said that when his group met with the Florida League of Cities, they

According to Realtor.com, in October, the median listing price for a home in Flagler County was $424,900. The median household income in 2021, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, was $62,305.

Palm Coast City Council member Cathy Heighter said the Flagler County Affordable Housing Committee is also working on an agreement between developers to use the Live Local Act, though the details are still in the planning stages.

“It is tough out here — for the young, the old and the middleaged,” Heighter said.

Heighter said it is important to remember that the people who need affordable housing in Palm Coast and Flagler County are teachers, restaurant servers, lab technicians and first responders.

And as the city continues to grow, Palm Coast needs them to live here, too.

“What is so project-y about that?” Heighter said. “A schoolteacher, that’s teaching your child in school, wanting to live in a decent home?”

— SIERRA WILLIAMS, STAFF WRITER

expressed that they would support a revision bill.

Port Orange Mayor Don Burnette, who serves on the board of directors for the Florida League of Cities, said they are working to set their legislative priorities for 2024 and that the Live Local Act is a “very large topic of conversation.”

“I doubt very seriously that the leadership of Florida League of Cities is going to not listen to us because we’re going to rattle some sabers pretty loudly,” Burnette said.

Schnitzel Time, a German restaurant at 1755 Palm Harbor Parkway in Palm Coast, opened on Wednesday, Nov. 9, after a six-month wait.

The Schnitzel Time sign has been up on the building for months at the former pizza restaurant next to the BP station.

“People had been walking in and asking us on our Facebook page, ‘When are you going to open?’” Sven Himmel, the manager, said. “The kitchen hood here was not the right one for our business, and the first company took forever.

Watson & Company made it in three-and-a-half weeks and installed it. It was an awesome job.”

The restaurant opened at 11 a.m., and by 11:05, about 10 people were waiting oin line to order.

Schnitzel Time is a small operation, with owner Helmut Wachter, his wife Angela Wachter, and Sven and

BIZ BUZZ KAVA CULTURE OPENS IN ORMOND BEACH Kava Culture Kava Bar is opening a new alcohol-free bar in Ormond Beach.

This is the 14th location for Kava Culture, which makes kava and handcrafted, all-natural botanical cocktails made by Botanical Brewing Co. that deliver “a unique alcohol-free buzz,” according to a press release. A grand opening celebration will be held on Nov. 18.

“What a location,” said Jacqueline Rusher, co-founder of Kava Culture and Botanical Brewing Co. “There’s such a great vibe here, it’s easy to get to, and the community has been so welcoming. I just did a bula (toast) at our Friends and Family event and was inspired by everyone in Ormond Beach coming together. It’s all about people, plants, and the planet … and that booze-free buzz.”

The Kava Culture Kava Bar at 500 W. Granada Blvd., Suite 5, is owned by entrepreneurs Lisa and Robb Morrison, both graduates of Florida State University. Their son Brett is the bar’s manager.

his wife, Bozena Himmel, the only employees.

“We’ll have to see how busy we’ll be (before hiring additional employees),” Sven Himmel said.

But after a very busy first three days they began advertising for part-time help.

The menu is also small, with a variety of pork schnitzel and bratwurst offerings, German mac and cheese and sides including spaetzle, homemade potato salad and cucumber salad. Beverages include soft drinks and German beer.

The food is authentic. Sven’s parents were restaurant owners in Germany, where he grew up in the restaurant business.

Bozena, who is from Poland,

worked in Sven’s restaurant before they moved to Palm Coast about a year and a half ago.

Helmut Wachter, who is from Austria, met Bozena on social media and asked her questions about moving to the United States. He moved his whole family to Palm Coast about 10 months ago.

“We want to cook fresh.

Everything is homemade — the sausage, cucumber salad, potato salad, spaetzle and all of the sauces — everything except the french fries,” Sven said.

Sven makes the sausage and cuts the schnitzel. Bozena breads and fries the schnitzel.

Then they found the closed restaurant on Palm Harbor Parkway.

“It was dirty when we first got here. We cleaned with five people every day for two weeks,” Sven said.

They brought in new booths, tables and chairs. Sven said eventually they want to add daily specials to the menu, but with only four employees they want to feel comfortable in the kitchen first.

business. Weigh Your Anchor Charters set sail in October, with its first charter on Nov. 4.

The couple did not come to Palm Coast with the idea of opening their own business, but to retire. Thompson retired from the Navy in 2004 as a lieutenant commander, and the Thompsons moved to Palm Coast in 2016. “[Palm Coast is] just a good, all-around area for what our hobbies and interests were,” Thompson.

In January 2023, the couple really began considering starting a charter business. By June, Thompson said, he had swapped out their bass boat — a boat generally designed for speed in shallower waters — for a bay boat — a bigger boat that seats eight for offshore trips.

Originally, he said, Weigh Your Anchor Charters was supposed to weigh anchor over the summer, but it was delayed by paperwork.

Thompson has a Masters Captain license with the U.S. Coast Guard and uses a Sportsman Masters 227 bay boat.

Shelly Thompson — who is just as fond of boating and almost as fond of fishing as her husband — handles the administrative side of the job and will act as a tour guide on some charters.

As a veteran-owned-andoperated business, Weigh Your Anchors offers a 20% discount to all active-duty military, veterans and first responders.

Their first charter on Nov. 4 was a fishing excursion for employees at American Scaffolding in Jacksonville, Thompson said. “[November is] definitely not the weather that we were expecting to get started in,” Shelly Thompson said, laughing. “We were hoping for warmer, prettier weather.”

Fishing trips are just one of five different tours that Weigh Your Anchors offers. The charter business also offers trips out to the sand bars, an eco tour that shows off historic sites and local wildlife, a combination tour that combines the historic forts, wildlife and scenery and a sunset tour — a two-hour cruise along the intracoastal waterway to watch the sun set.

“There’s a little concern that when you make your passion, your job, how does that impact your passion?” he said. “I don’t think that it will ever come to that. … But that’s why we want to do tours, too. It’s not just fishing.”

FPC graduates form group YOUR TOWN to support Gen Z activists

OLD KINGS K-KIDS COLLECT FOR FESPA GOBBLE EVENT

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Cameron Driggers, a 2023 Flagler Palm Coast High School graduate and a student activist, has seen firsthand the problems that younger political activists face.

So, he has started an organization to help progressive Gen Z activists carry out campaigns in their communities.

The Youth Action Fund will help organizers under the age of 24 who live in Florida with stipends and advice.

“Throughout our experience in activism, we’ve encountered a lot of problems, a lot of patronization and lack of support [in favor of] more established organizations,” Driggers said. “And so we are coming in to fill the void that exists right now where so many Gen Zers are passionate about making change, but they simply don’t have the resources to do so, especially in communities that are more marginalized.”

Driggers, 18, is the Youth Action Fund’s executive director. Other board members include fellow 2023 FPC grads Jack Petocz and Alysa Vidal, South Florida activist Maxx Fenning and Orlando activist Will Larkins. All five are college students.

The Youth Action Fund has secured a seed grant of $350,000 from the Jonathan

DONATION SOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER EVENT

David Wayne Lewis Foundation of Miami. That includes $25,000 for the rest of 2023 for their stipends programs and upwards of $100,000 next year for stipends, Driggers said.

The organization has two stipend programs. The individual stipends provide $500 for organizers who need financial support to continue their advocacies. The campaign stipends of $1,000 are reserved for small groups of students acting together toward a common goal.

The advising program matches seasoned campaigners with youth groups to assist with developing campaign strategies such as defining goals and crafting messages.

The Youth Action Fund launched publicly two weeks ago with the board approving its first three applications, Driggers said. It is supporting a voter registration drive across Orange County Public Schools that began on Nov. 13. And it has also funded projects in rural areas “that have been left behind by more established foundations,” Driggers said.

The K-Kids at Old Kings Elementary School are collecting food donations for the Flagler Educational Support Professionals Gobble event.

The FESPA Gobble event is scheduled for Nov. 17 at the Government Services Building in Bunnell. FESPA Vice President Lakisha Ayers-White is coordinating the event for the third year.

Last year, 56 support union members who had signed up received supplies for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

The K-Kids are collecting donations from Old Kings families. Fourth and fifth graders sort food and bag items.

“The students are very excited to help and take great time and effort to make sure that each bag is filled correctly,” said Laura Schiller, the KKids teacher/sponsor. “Many students have volunteered to help before school on nonmeeting dates to make sure that we get this project done on time.”

The K-Kids club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Flagler County and has been active at Old Kings for over 30 years, according to a press release. They meet every Thursday at the school.

“Along with the students, we have family members of the K-Kids that donate their time to help the kids with their projects: Kathy Summerlot, Kim Morgan, Mrs. Reyes and Mrs. Colvin,” Schiller said. “I’m always amazed at the students’ dedication and desire to help their school and community.

This club not only gives them the opportunity to help, but also to grow their leadership skills for the future.”

Abundant Life Ministries-Hope House is requesting donations and sponsors for its seventh annual “A Christmas to Remember” Christmas event.

The 2023 A Christmas to Remember will be held at the Flagler County Fairgrounds from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 16. The Christmas event is for children in Flagler County with open cases with the Department of Children and Families.

Sandra Shank, co-founder of Hope House, said 285 children have registered for the event so far, but the ministry is planning for 375 children.

Because the event is free, the ministry needs sponsors, donations and volunteers, Shank said.

“The whole thing about A Christmas to Remember is for children and teens … to disengage from all of the craziness of life,” she said, “and actually be a day where they can have fun, where kids can be kids.”

From Nov. 1 to Dec. 12, Abundant Life is hosting a “Gift Giving Drive” for new and unwrapped toys and games, bicycles and scooters for all ages, clothing for children of all ages and gift cards.

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations: TrustCo Bank, 12 Belle Terre Parkway; Ameris Bank, 181 Cypress Point Parkway; Pinch a Penny, 5200 State Road 100; Five Below, 250 Palm Coast Parkway NE; Palm Coast Ford, 1150 Palm Coast Parkway; Intracoastal Bank, 1290 Palm Coast Parkway NW; Nirvana Wellness, 2561 Moody Blvd.; Hi-Tulip, 400 Beach Village Drive; Back In Action Chiropractor, State Road A1A under Java Joint; Real Estate Synergy, 412 Beach Village Drive; Executive Barbers, 2323 N. State Street.

Shank said the ministry especially needs bicycles, tricycles or scooters for all ages.

The Celico Foundation is donating 30 bikes, she said, but Abundant Life hopes to give more children bikes as well.

Anyone interested in volunteering or sponsoring a child can call 386-313-6381 or email the ministry at office@ almhhi.onmicrosoft.com.

EVENTS BENEFIT CHRISTMAS COME TRUE ON NOV. 18

Two events to raise awareness and funds for Christmas Come True are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 18.

11A

The Punishers LEMC, The Bikemen of Flagler County and Crossroads Tavern are hosting a Poker Run. Registration is at 8 a.m. at Beach Front Grille and ends at Crossroads Tavern with a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, food and more.

All proceeds are donated to Christmas Come True.

Bartletts Gatherings & Gourmet at 5386 Ocean Shore Blvd. in the Hammock is having an evening event from 6 to 9 p.m. with raffles, music by SoulFire and more to help share the joy of a Christmas dinner, new clothing, toys and gifts with a Christmas stocking for Flagler County children.

Christmas Come True is helping more than 160 families with 460-plus children this year, according to a press release.

“This is our 14th Year of helping these families in (Flagler) County,” Christmas Come True founder Nadine King said. “We have so many families (over 60%) that have children with health issues and or parents/grandparents that have health issues.”

The families the organization helps are not only struggling, but many are on the verge of homelessness, King said.

PALM COAST

ASK THE MAYOR

Here’s why Palm Coast is moving the Starlight Parade SEND QUESTIONS

DAVID ALFIN PALM COAST MAYOR

Editor’s note: Palm Coast is shifting the Starlight Parade from Town Center to Belle Terre Parkway this year and will hold it in the morning rather than in the evening. The city’s decision elicited concern from residents who criticized the change in comments on the Observer’s Facebook page.

For this week’s edition of Ask the Mayor, we have asked Mayor David Alfin to respond to two of those comments. The parade will be held at 11 a.m. Dec. 16 on Belle Terre Parkway in front of Belle Terre Elementary and Indian Trails Middle School.

LETTERS In rejecting challenge to Bible, district holds it to a different standard Dear Editor: Doomed from the onset, in the recent challenge to the Bible as inappropriate reading for Flagler County students, our school superintendent has opted to close the challenge and the subsequent appeal and retain the book.

The decision was reached without the usually required review process,

together without having to go elsewhere. If this is the case, why do we even have a Town Center?

Question from Aimee Curbow: I cannot comprehend how relocating the parade to one of the busiest roads in Palm Coast, which means the road will need to be shut down for the duration of the parade, makes sense. The whole point of Town Center was for the city to come together and celebrate special events

Mayor David Alfin: As we approach the holiday season, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the strong emotions tied to our beloved Starlight Parade — an annual celebration meant to unite our community.

Regrettably, we faced many scheduling conflicts this year, requiring a change from a nighttime parade to a daytime one. Please know that this change is a one-time occurrence, and we are committed to returning to our cherished evening parade in 2024.

I also want to address the change in parade location. After thorough collaboration with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, it became evident that the previous Town Center location posed safety concerns.

The decision to relocate to Belle Terre Parkway in front of Indian Trails Middle School and Belle Terre Elementary School, on the advice of the Sheriff’s Office, ensures a safer

demonstrating how our and other school districts are going out of their way to hold the “good book” to a different standard irrespective of the explicit sexual content being similar to other books that have been banned.

The graphic vengeful violence content was discounted, as well.

Also, very importantly, and of great concern, is that the “good book” calls for the killing of homosexuals.

The danger associated with that kind of content alone and its harmful potential should be obvious to any school district given that this

indisputable “word of God” message could become actionable by impressionable kids.

This content concern alone makes the retention of the Bible a wrongheaded decision.

The hypocrisy of sidestepping the book review process and deciding that the Bible is immune to being challenged is clear.

And what is also clear is that Florida school districts, including ours, staffed with educated and intelligent folks, should not be immune to reason and recognise the hypocrisy, as well.

Some very likely do, but are

and more enjoyable experience. The new route offers ample parking at each of the schools and addresses the public safety issue since there are alternate routes available for those not attending the parade.

In the spirit of community engagement, we’ve partnered with local schools for pre-parade activities, fostering a festive atmosphere and a sense of togetherness before the parade kicks off.

While change is never easy, I am confident that these adjustments will contribute to a safer and more enjoyable Starlight Parade experience for everyone. You’re understanding and support during this temporary modification are genuinely appreciated, ensuring the continued success of this cherished community tradition.

VETERAN OF THE WEEK

Make yourself at home

Aisles to go before I sleep: grocery shopping with Luke To my 5-year-old son, Luke, the aisles of Walmart seem to be designed to be experienced with all five senses.

BRIAN MCMILLAN PUBLISHER

To me, the aisles of Walmart after a long day of work are a labyrinth, designed to hedge me in and prevent me from ever going home. To my 5-year-old son, Luke, the aisles of Walmart after a boring afternoon at home are interactive exhibits in a children’s museum, designed to be experienced with all five senses.

“Please, I beg you, put that down and don’t touch anything else until

YOUR TOWN REGISTRATIONS GROWING FOR BOAT PARADE The Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade, now in its 40th year, hopes to maintain its status as the largest lighted

next week,” is my refrain on our family shopping adventure.

Even in “Baking,” the most boring food aisle of all, he makes a beeline to the packaging with the brightest colors.

“But Mom, these are healthy for you!” he cries. “Look: ‘Mini fruit marshmallows.’”

Over her shoulder, my wife, Hailey, says, “They’re just trying to trick you.”

At first, Luke looks outraged at being so casually dismissed, but then he looks inquisitive. Maybe Mom is on to something. Trying to trick me? “How do you know?” he asks.

But if he’s hoping for any further wisdom from his mother, he’s going to be disappointed. It’s late, and we have aisles to go before we sleep.

“Because I’m smart, and I’ve seen marshmallows before,” she says.

I turn to Luke to see if he’s persuaded by this explanation, but he has already teleported to the next sugary treat.

After hearing the word “no,” in every possible intonation, Luke knows that neither Hailey nor I will fall victim to his fantasies of a Willy Wonka shopping spree. Rather than get upset, though, he tries a more sophisticated tactic: financial independence.

“How many moneys do I have?” he asks.

When Luke earns money or gets a cash gift from grandparents, we don’t actually give him the cash; Hailey updates a Google Sheet on her phone.

“Never mind about that,” I say.

“I’ll buy it with my own money!”

“Now is not the time, Luke. You still have so much Halloween candy at home.”

The parade will be held at 6 p.m.

Dec. 9, and registrations are growing.This year’s parade route will be a mile longer than it has been in previous years, according to a news release.

It will begin at Cochise Waterway, the city’s northern-most cut to the Intracoastal Waterway, and head south to pass the Cimarron and Club House Waterways and sail under the Hammock Dunes Toll Bridge past St.

But how can we in good conscience deny Luke’s inalienable right to spend his own money as he pleases?

The parents are foiled again.

Luke triumphantly rides the grocery cart out of Walmart like Jack on the bow of the Titanic, clutching his treat of choice: watermelon mints. (Whatever those are.)

Before long, the groceries are unpacked at home, and Luke has already plopped his watermelon mints in a glass of water at the kitchen table, completely wasting them and making a mess at the same time. In other words, in Luke’s eyes, an unqualified success of a shopping trip.

Before long, I’m in bed, drifting off to sleep, visions of mini fruit marshmallows dancing in my head, on the grave of a Google Sheet full of cash.

Flagler Education Foundation donates $20,000 to Flagler Playhouse

SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

The Flagler Education Foundation has donated $20,000 to help the Flagler Playhouse rebuild from the Oct. 30 fire that destroyed the historic building on Moody Boulevard.

The Playhouse held its first fundraising event for rebuilding at Woody’s Bar-B-Que on State Road 100 on Nov. 14. Foundation Executive Director Teresa Rizzo handed the check for $20,000 to Flagler Playhouse President Jerri Berry during the event.

“I’ve always felt that the Playhouse is kind of like a family,” Berry said. “So seeing how that overflows into the community is amazing.”

Rizzo said a lot of Flagler students and staff participate in the Playhouse, which is a big part of the community.

“The Flagler Playhouse is part of our family,” Rizzo said.

At the fundraiser, Berry announced that the Playhouse is planning to rebuild and thanked everyone in the community who had offered support. Berry said the playhouse is putting together several committees, including a rebuilding committee which will be headed by Chelsea Barney Herbert.

Herbert, who owns 4Cs Trucking & Excavation in Bunnell, volunteered to lead the rebuilding committee. Anyone in the community who wants to help with the rebuilding efforts can contact Herbert or Berry.

Herbert said she drives past the Playhouse every day on her way to work and had to find a way to pitch in. The Playhouse — as the theater and the historic church — is an important part of the Bunnell community, she said.

“It’s important to me that [the Playhouse] rebuilds in Bunnell,” Herbert said.

Berry also announced that the Playhouse has found new locations for its entire 2023-2024 season of performances by coordinating with Flagler Schools and other community partners.

“It’ll be a much shorter production window for each production.

However, we get to still continue doing what we do,” Berry said in an interview with the Observer. “That’s pretty amazing.”

Matanzas High School will host all of the Playhouse’s remaining shows, starting with “Great American Trailer Park Musical.” Berry said that show is likely to open in the last week of January, though the dates are still being finalized.

Bunnell Elementary — the school Berry works at — will host the Playhouse’s Penguin Project, which works with students with disabilities and their parents and peer mentors.

Rehearsals for that will begin sometime in January or February, she said.

The Fitzgerald Performing Arts Center at Flagler Palm Coast High School may not have been able to make room in its schedule to host the Playhouse’s shows, Berry said, but the Fitzgerald has offered to cover the Playhouse’s custodial costs at the schools.

“So, we have basically covered our entire season, which is fabulous, and now we can finalize that and focus on rebuild and fundraising efforts,” she said.

“The Play That Goes Wrong,” which was set to open on Nov. 3, won’t be added back to the Playhouse’s season, but the performance isn’t going away, either.

“Our hope is that that is our very first one we open with in our new facility,” Berry said.

Even as planning for the season is underway, local — and some notso-local — organizations have begun supporting the Playhouse’s future rebuilding efforts.

The Fitzgerald has called all the patrons for “The Play That Goes Wrong” and offered complimentary

“It is crazy. I'm blown away.

The community arts and our Central Florida Theatre Alliance group are just so generous in helping us."

tickets for the Fitzgerald’s “Almost ABBA” performance if the play’s tickets were donated instead of refunded, Berry said.

Though the Woody’s Bar-B-Que fundraiser was the first, it will not be the last fundraiser planned on behalf of the Playhouse.

Athens Theatre in DeLand will host a fundraiser for the Playhouse on Dec. 6, while the Ritz in Sanford is donating its proceeds from a fundraiser for the Orlando Greek Choir to the Playhouse.

City Repertory Theatre has offered the proceeds from the last weekend of its Christmas performance. Theater Studio Palm Coast Director Steve Kaganovich also announced at the Woody’s fundraiser that The-

ater Studio will donate a portion of the proceeds from its performance of “Eight Loving Women,” by Robert Thomas. That performance will be held on Dec. 10 at Matanzas High School.

“It is crazy. I’m blown away,” Berry said. “The community arts and our Central Florida Theatre Alliance group are just so generous in helping us.”

Berry said that though she has not received the final report from the Florida State Fire Marshal’s inspection, the cause of the fire seems to have been electrical.

“Hopefully soon we’ll be able to get in, and — those parts of the building that are salvageable — get in, start the cleaning process, start

salvaging items,” she said.

One thing she’s been asked a lot is if the steeple will stay in the rebuild.

The answer is yes, she said, whether that means replacing the steeple or restoring it.

Berry said the original fabricator of the steeple even reached out when he had heard about the fire. Nothing has been guaranteed, Berry said, but she’s hopeful that even if the steeple does need to be replaced, she knows who the Playhouse can reach out to for cost estimates.

“It’s kind of going through the stages of grief. And, you know, we’re going to be fine,” she said. “I think we’re going to be bigger, better, stronger.”

County denies request by Volusia County Schools to fund more deputies County Council members felt the school district could absorb the over $300,000 funding request.

JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR

A request to help fund more school resource deputies was unanimously denied by the Volusia County Council, which felt that not only was the request a couple months late because the fiscal year’s budget has been passed, but that Volusia County Schools also has enough money in its budget reserves to cover the cost.

“They chew through tax dollars,

BRIEFS UNF MedNexus launches program for Flagler veterans University of North Florida’s MedNexus is launching a pilot program to help veterans in Flagler County monitor their fitness and wellness using a Fitbit wearable device.

This virtual care program will help veterans reach health goals, increase activity and reduce weight to prevent future hospitalizations and other significant future complications. It is led by Dr. Shyam Paryani, a retired physician and current UNF Health Administration faculty

and their budget is larger than ours,” County Councilman Troy Kent said at a Nov. 7 meeting. “They have more than enough in reserves to cover this ask, to make our schools safer. They don’t want to spend their money.

They want to spend our money.”

The Volusia County School Board submitted a request to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office for $762,011.35 to add seven school resource deputies and one supervising school resource sergeant to replace school guardians at eight middle schools: Creekside Middle School, Deltona Middle School, Galaxy Middle School, Heritage Middle School, Holly Hill School, Silver Sands Middle School and Southwestern Middle School.

According to the county, the current contract mandates that the school board pay 55% of the total costs for school resource deputies.

VSO pays the remaining 45%. The funding request would have resulted in an additional $342,905.11 expense for the Sheriff’s Office — which, per Florida law, can bill the county for services rendered or performed for governmental agencies. The money, if the funding request had been approved, would have come from the county’s reserves.

Volusia County Schools has $26.8 million in reserves.

In a statement, the district said it was disappointed that the council chose not to support the request.

“The discussion that took place this morning regarding the district’s budget and reserves was not relevant to the financial considerations of the interlocal agreement,” the district stated. “VCS previously had school resource deputies in these seven schools, which were removed during the pandemic and replaced with school guardians due to staffing issues. VSO has supported this initiative and assured VCS that they had the personnel to support these safety measures in our schools if the funding was approved.”

The district was seeking the additional school resource deputies in hopes of increasing safety on the seven middle school campuses.

This year, VCS reported 718 alcohol, drug or tobacco related incidents in middle schools, as well as 647 hitting, striking or fighting incidents in middle schools, according to data included in the presentation.

Between Aug. 14 and Oct. 6, there were: 98 calls for service at Creekside Middle 71 calls for service at Deltona Middle 29 calls for service at Galaxy Mid-

dle 91 calls for service at Heritage Middle 123 calls for service at Holly Hill School 207 calls for service at Silver Sands Middle 36 calls for service at Southwestern Middle.

This year, the district added two school resource officers: One at River Springs Middle School in Orange City and one at New Smyrna Middle School in New Smyrna Beach. Both schools saw a decrease in incidents during the first quarter of classes.

Both are funded in a 50/50 split between the cities and the district, Kent said.

Kent, an assistant principal with VCS, argued that funding the request would mean residents in municipalities — like Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach — whose tax dollars already help fund a school resource officer would have to “pay twice.”

He also said he was disappointed that the district would make a funding request in the “13th hour” after the budget and tax rate has been set for the current fiscal year.

“We worked really, really hard collectively during our budget session to get our tax rate as low as we could, and now in November the school

district comes to us to help them fix their problem,” Kent said.

At the meeting, the district said that if the funding wasn’t approved, they would continue to have school guardians at each of the middle schools.

Councilman Jake Johansson said he found it interesting that the Volusia County School Board prompted this request and highlighted its importance, but if the council turned them down, they’d continue operating as usual.

“So it’s important if somebody else pays for it but if [the school district has] to pay for it, it’s not so important,” Johansson said. “I don’t believe that to be honest negotiations.”

Deputy Superintendent Rachel Hazel said at the meeting that while the reserves may seem to be a large amount, the council wasn’t taking into account federal coronavirus relief dollars, known as ESSER funds.

The district used ESSER funds for $46 million in reoccurring operating expenses, and the money will run out by the end of the 2023-2024 school year.

“We are, in the next year with ESSER funding going away, going to incur a lot of recurring expenses,” Hazel said.

member, according to press release from UNF. An information session on the program will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29, at the Flagler County Government Services Building at 1769 E. Moody Blvd.

The program will continuously monitor health parameters like heart rate, activity level, nutritional status, sleep patterns and the maximum rate of oxygen consumption during exercise, the press release said.

Participants will be able to see their health status on a custom app on their smartphone, and daily emails will contain specific recommendations for health improvement.

“As we honor Veterans Day this week, we are proud to launch this

health monitoring program for the Flagler County veterans community that will help those who have given so much in service to our country,” said Dr. Julie Merten, UNF MedNexus associate dean.

ing steam in his home state doesn’t bode well for his national campaign,” said Michael Binder, PORL faculty director and professor of political science. “Even if you wipe out the rest of the competition in a head-to-head, Trump leads DeSantis by 20 points.”

Nikki Haley was third, with 6%; followed by Chris Christie, with 2%; and Vivek Ramaswamy with 1%, according to a news release from UNF. The rest of the candidates received less than 1%, and 8% refused to answer or said they did not know.

The poll sample included 788 Florida Republican voters considered likely to vote in 2024 (they voted in primaries in 2022, 2020 and 2016 and, asked whether they expect to vote in 2024, did not state that they

probably or definitely would not).

The poll also asked respondents to choose in a head-to-head race between Trump and DeSantis. Fiftynine percent said they would vote for Trump, 29% said they would vote for DeSantis, and 12% refused or said they did not know.

Respondents were also asked their opinions about Trump’s actions after the 2020 election.

Seventy-one percent said the statement, “he was just exercising his right to contest the election,” was the closest to their view, while 16% the statement, “he went so far that he threatened American democracy” was closest to their view, and 14% said they don’t know or refused to answer.

UNF poll: Florida Republicans prefer Trump to DeSantis

Likely Republican primary voters in Florida strongly prefer Donald Trump, with 60% indicating a vote for Trump, followed by Ron DeSantis at 21%, according to a poll from the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab. “Despite historically high approval in the polls, Governor DeSantis los-

YOUR NEIGHBORS

Me, In Progress SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER

Me, In Progress is a space designed for teenagers, by teenagers, said Beverly Johnson, CEO and president of Easterseals Northeast Central Florida.

Me, In Progress — also known as #MIP — is a new teen wellness program designed by Easterseals that combines a social spot for high school kids with wellness and counseling opportunities. MIP, located at 3398 N. State St. in Bunnell, held its first open house on Friday, Nov. 10.

MIP is meant to fill a void in Palm Coast and Flagler County: Teens in the area do not have a place where they can go that is just for them, Johnson said.

“We were just saying, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place for these kids to go, where they could connect and where they could feel supported?’” she said.

Easterseals came up with a concept of something like a “‘Friends’-coffee shop,” combining a social hub with a wellness center, Johnson said. MIP will have counselors on site and offer both individual and group counseling, as needed.

She said individual counseling could take the form of formal counseling or just be one-off conversations, depending on the kid’s needs.

Johnson said Easterseals put together a test group of teens to help design the space, its activities and even the programs MIP will have.

“Nothing about them, without them,” Johnson said.

Brandon Stewart, one of the directors at MIP, said the team had to take feedback from teens and make it fit in the lounge space at MIP. The main room is split into several sections: a kitchenette; a lounge area in front of a TV, complete with a PlayStation 5; a board game area;

an air hockey table and a library area with comfortable chairs and two bookcases.

“If you know anyone who needs to donate any books,” Stewart said, “send them to MIP.” The main area also has two computers for kids who might need to get some homework done, Stewart said.

Next to that is a faux-grass-covered selfie wall with a pink neon sign that reads, “#MIP.” “We had to have [a selfie wall],” he said.

The second room has a private space for individual and group therapies and an open space for larger group activities, like a yoga class or a group seminar.

Lou Garcia, an analyst with All Therapies Support, Inc., said Palm Coast and Flagler County lack dedicated spaces for teenagers to hang out. He said All Therapies Support may want to use the space at #MIP for things like skills groups for teens.

“Kids need a place to hang out after school,” Garcia said. “I think it’s a really important asset for the Palm Coast area.”

As for how the kids will get there, MIP has a van, Director Deanna Dempsey said, and can pick up kids and check them in at MIP after school.

“From talking to students, we got, ‘Sounds great, but how do I get there?’ And we were like, ‘Valid point,’” Dempsey said. “So the afterschool pickups will start the week after Thanksgiving break.”

Johnson said there will be a checkin system where parents will be notified by text or email when their child signs into MIP after school.

“We’re trying to make sure we have all the safety stops in place,” Johnson said.

Dempsey joined the Easterseals team in July as a wellness director for MIP. She said she was excited to begin work at MIP because it combined all of her favorite things: health and wellness and student development and engagement.

“That was kind of what attracted me to this. It’s like I can introduce [these teenagers] to all these life skills,” she said.

Dempsey said it can be hard for teens and young adults to put themselves out there and learn the tools they will need as adults. She said MIP will be able to help teach kids these tools.

“I think the biggest thing is getting students here,” she said.

Johnson said MIP is geared toward high schoolers because they will soon be out in the world on their own.

“We felt like it was our last-ditch effort to help these kids gain their confidence and realize that they were the amazing human beings that

they were before they go off and do military or trade school or college or work or whatever it is,” Johnson said.

MIP’s programs will continue to be informed about the teens it serves, too, she said.

Johnson said MIP’s programming will include courses like learning to

prepare a resume, teaching kids how to use equipment at a gym or even a simple journaling class.

“It’s all about whole-body wellness and exploration,” Johnson said.

“We’re going to kind of watch and see what the kids need.”

“We felt like it was our last-ditch effort to help these kids gain their confidence and realize that they were the amazing human beings that they were before they go off and do military or trade school or college or work or whatever it is.”

THE FINE ARTS SACRED JOURNEY Orange City artist Peggy Banks says art is why she wakes up in the morning.

“Creating art is my healing respite,” she said in a statement.

“I choose to make happy joyful works that uplift the spirit and bring us peace and joy. Though we live in a complex and sometimes overwhelming world, I want my inner world to reflect balance and evoke positive energy.”

She achieves that balance using handmade banana leaf paper and copper, saying she was drawn to the fusion of “hard and soft” materials.

“I love the marriage of my handmade papers superimposed over each uniquely created copper frame because it is unlike anything I have ever seen,” she said.

Banks is one of the artists featured in the Beaux Arts Annual Members’ Exhibit at the Art League of Daytona Beach at 433 S. Palmetto Ave. An opening reception is scheduled for 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19. The exhibit will run through Dec. 17.

SPORTS Junior achievement Matanzas freshman Henry Robinson Jr. has already made a name for himself.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Henry Robinson got his first basketball recruiting call concerning his son when Henry Robinson Jr. was just a third grader.

Kenoe Jordan, owner of the Nightrydas AAU program, already knew who “Junior” was. He was impressed by his size.

Robinson Jr. is now a 6-foot-6½ freshman at Matanzas High School, about to begin his first season playing for his father, who is beginning his third season as the Pirates’ head boys basketball coach.

“I’m really excited about that,” Robinson Jr. said. “I’ve played for my dad before, but this is going to be my first time actually playing high school ball for him.”

Robinson Jr., who now plays AAU ball for the Nightrydas of South Florida, is ranked among the top 25 players nationally in the class of 2027.

“The buzz got started when he was in the sixth grade,” Robinson Sr. said.

“In seventh grade, he really took off.”

Robinson Jr. respects his parents, but he has to sit down to look up to them. His dad is 6-3. His mom is about 5-10.

“There is size in both of our families,” Robinson Sr. said. “Uncles who are 6-7, cousins who are 6-5, 6-7, but there’s nobody on either side who was 6-6 or 6-7 at age 14.”

Robinson Jr. was always taller than his classmates and teammates and naturally was designated a post player — always under the basket on offense and defense — on all of his teams.

That started changing three years ago when he was in the sixth grade

Matanzas freshman Henry Robinson Jr. is ranked among the top 25 players in the class of 2027.

and he started practicing with his father’s team at Westside High School in Jacksonville.

“I just put him out there with the high school kids, and he started developing guard skills,” Robinson Sr. said. “Now, he wasn’t the biggest guy on the court all the time.”

Robinson Jr. is now a wing player who is comfortable playing anywhere on the court.

“His athleticism is off the charts,” Robinson Sr. said. “He’s one of the top defenders his age in the country and he’s unselfish. He likes getting everybody involved.”

Matanzas would be lucky to have one Division I prospect on its team, but it has two. Alex Davis, a 6-9 sophomore, is the other. Davis played in eight games with the Pirates last season after recovering from a broken tibia. He averaged 15.5 points and 13.3 rebounds.

Practicing against someone his own size every day is making Robin-

son Jr. stronger and more physical, he said.

The season is still days away, but he and Davis already have a nickname — the twin towers.

“Yeah, that’s what people are calling us already, the twin towers and stuff,” Robinson Jr. said.

He said the Pirates will try to take advantage of their height.

“The first few plays of the game we’re going to look inside and see if we can get Alex hot early,” he said.

On Nov. 11, a smattering of fans got to watch Davis and Robinson Jr. show off their dunking ability in a miniexhibition and play in an intrasquad scrimmage in the Pirates’ Blue and White game. Robinson Jr.’s team lost, and though it was just a scrimmage, he sounded as if his team had just lost a playoff game.

“I could have done better to help us win, but that team did a good job with defense and bringing energy and effort,” he said. “My team, we should have done the same to match the energy, to make the game closer than what it was.”

He is looking forward to when the real games start. Matanzas plays its first three games on the road (Jacksonville Mandarin on Nov. 20, St. Joseph on Nov. 21 and Oakleaf on Nov. 24) before hosting Camden County, Georgia, on Nov. 25.

“In AAU, I play against a lot of the top players in the country, people my age. So, it’s good coming into high school and playing against people older than me, because it makes me better as a player and as a person,” he said.

New-look Matanzas girls soccer team topples Mainland 8-0 Freshman infusion leads Pirates to offensive explosion with 15 goals in two games.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

As the center back on Matanzas High’s girls soccer team, junior Eva Servello had mixed feelings about her team’s 8-0 victory against Mainland on Thursday, Nov. 9.

The victory was great, she said, but … “I like getting touches on the ball.”

There weren’t many touches for the Pirates’ defenders as Matanzas kept the ball in its attacking half of the field most of the contest. The game ended by mercy rule less than 10 minutes into the second half when freshman Siena Gutierrez scored the Pirates’ eighth goal on a free kick.

Through their first two games this season, the Pirates (2-0) have shown they are a much more explosive team than they have been in recent years.

Last year, Matanzas went 1-8-3 and scored a total of seven goals. The Pirates matched that total in their season opener, defeating Jacksonville Englewood 7-0 on Nov. 8.

Their offense has been boosted by a group of newcomers. The Pirates have added five freshmen and two juniors, all of whom are experienced club players. Most of the newcomers are home-school students.

“As young as this group is, they bring a lot of knowledge of the game,” Matanzas coach Scott Crooke said. “They have a good work ethic, good personalities and they’re all good people. These girls came here because they knew what we wanted to build. It sure as heck wasn’t because of our winning streak.”

Junior Naomi Cordero and her sister, freshman Rebeka Cordero, are home schoolers who played soccer last year for First Baptist Christian Academy in Bunnell.

“We prayed about it,” Naomi Cordero said of their decision to join the Pirates.

Naomi Cordero and freshman Kaylin Henthorn each scored two goals against Mainland. Freshman Isabella Hopkins and sophomore Emma Skinner, a home-school student who moved in from North Carolina, also scored. Skinner and Henthorn each had two assists. Junior Cassidy Simon was the only goal scorer in the game who was a member of the Pirates’ team last year.

Servello has been with the Pirates for three seasons. She believes Matanzas can make the playoffs this year for the first time in her high school career.

“My freshman year, we had a pretty good team with a lot of seniors,” she said. “Last year, we won one game. This year, I want to make it to regionals. We have a lot of good freshmen and some juniors coming in who are really helping. We have a

lot of offense.”

Even though the players are new, they are meshing well as a team.

“We’re definitely working together,” Naomi Cordero said. “We’re connecting.”

Crooke agrees.

“Our top and midfield are starting to communicate a lot better,” he said. “They’re very coachable girls.

Defense was never something we worried about. It was always getting the ball in the final third and finishing. The way they’re playing off each other, playing the ball to the right space, everyone jiving together this early, if they keep putting in the work, how we’ll look at the end of the season could be very positive.”

Mainland, meanwhile, was playing

its first game of the season. The Bucs were 14-4 last year, but they lost several seniors. They were also missing two players who were preparing for the cross country regionals.

The Bucs’ leading scorer, forward Lauren Abrahams (25 goals last season), is back, but Servello limited her touches in the game.

“We have a strong junior class, but we’re in a rebuild,” said firstyear head coach Mason McKenzie, who was an assistant coach with the Bucs last year. “Our defensive strategies were breaking down a little, but Matanzas has a good team. We play them at home (on Dec. 7), so we’re looking forward to the rematch.”

The Bucs’ home opener is Thursday, Nov. 16, against DeLand at 6 p.m. Matanzas plays at county rival Flagler Palm Coast on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. FPC has an 11-game winning streak against Matanzas, with the Pirates scoring just three goals during that span. The Bulldogs defeated Lake Minneola 7-1 in their home opener on Nov. 11 to improve to 2-1.

Michigan legend Michael Talley takes over FPC’s boys basketball program Talley won three high school state championships, played with the Fab Five at Michigan and won three state titles as a coach.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Michael Talley is a legend in Michigan. As a high school basketball player, he led Detroit’s Cooley High to three state championships and was named Michigan’s Mr. Basketball in 1989. He went on to play college basketball at the University of Michigan, his final two seasons with the “Fab Five”.

After playing pro ball in Germany, he returned to Michigan where he coached at three high schools and won three state championships.

“I came home and committed myself to coaching. You have to give back,” he said.

Now he’s the head boys basketball coach at Flagler Palm Coast High

School.

“It just kind of worked out the way it was supposed to,” FPC athletic director Scott Drabczyk said.

Talley practically knocked on FPC’s front door. Tired of the cold weather in Michigan, he decided to move to Florida and chose Palm Coast.

“I just fell in love with the community and also being so close to Flagler Beach,” he said. “We were driving around, and I saw the high school. I said, ‘That’s a nice high school, and it’s only 12 minutes away.’”

It was serendipitous that FPC had been looking for a new head coach since the end of April when coach Derrick Williams informed administrators that he was resigning to move back to Alabama.

“It was a wonderful thing,” Talley said of the opening. “I pray a lot, and I was really praying for a place that was close to home.”

It took a while for Talley to make the move and get cleared by the school district. He arrived about a month after school started, and on Oct. 30, the first day of practice, he

was still learning names.

But his players knew who he was, even if they had to look him up.

“I don’t really talk about it much,” Talley said. “I had a couple of guys say, ‘You played at Michigan?’ I say, ‘Yeah, I played at Michigan. That was a long time ago. But hey, I’m a pretty good coach. I just want you guys to trust me and trust the process, and we’re going to be OK.’” He doesn’t know how long the process is going to take. The Bulldogs were 7-18 last year. But he proved at Michigan that he can be patient. He averaged 11 points per game as a sophomore. The following year, five highly touted freshmen arrived in Ann Arbor and took over all five starting spots on the team.

Talley remained with the program as the Wolverines, led by the Fab Five, advanced to two consecutive national championship games.

Winning has always been a part of Talley’s DNA, from Cooley to the University of Michigan to his coaching career. In 1999, his first year on the bench at Pioneer High in Ann Arbor, his JV team went undefeated.

New FPC boys basketball coach Michael Talley

The following year he moved up to varsity as an assistant, and Pioneer won a state title.

As a head coach, he led the Academy of Business and Technology in Melvindale, Michigan, to state championships in 2009 and 2010. He turned the program around at Ecorse High School and then returned to Academy of Business and Tech.

“Developing kids and developing programs are something that I’ve

been doing for a very long time. And I’m excited to be here at FPC,” he said.

Johnny Hampton, who is now with his third head coach as an assistant with the Bulldogs, said FPC is lucky to have Talley leading the program.

“As late in the game as we went, we were blessed,” Hampton said.

“It was a pretty long process with that vacancy,” said Drabczyk, who was hired as AD in the summer. “But we couldn’t be more happy to have Coach Talley with us. He’s a high level coach. With his playing background and pedigree and his ability to build relationships, it is pretty cool for our kids to be coached by him.”

Talley said he likes building programs from the ground up.

“Our goal is to win one game at a time; that’s all we can do,” he said.

“You don’t want to have any preconceived notions on how many games you’re going to win. You just want to get better. I really enjoy the kids here and the effort they’re giving. They’re extremely smart. I think this is the exact kind of place that I wanted to be.”

Considering the circumstances, the Matanzas High School girls cross country runners were pleased with their performances at the Region 1-3A championships.

KANE'S LAST MEET Tim Kane will coach his final cross country meet at state this week. The veteran coach said he will lead the track and field program for one final season this spring before stepping down.

Katie Hoover, who returned to Matanzas this year as an assistant, will take over the Pirates’ cross country and track program next year.

Hoover had been an assistant coach at Matanzas from 2015 to 2017 before moving to Indian Trails Middle School, where she started the cross country and track program.

“I’m excited to be taking over the program next year,” she said after the Pirates’ regional meet on Nov. 11. “That’s been my goal since I was here last.”

meet on Saturday, Nov. 11, and finished fifth to qualify for the state championships for the third year in a row.

“It was a solid race,” senior Nina Rodriguez said. “We raced well as a team. We’re excited for states.”

It rained a couple of hours before the girls race, and the ground was “squishy,” Rodriguez said.

Matanzas was also forced to redesign the course because of the school’s expansion project.

“It’s kind of sad that their construction is right where our course was supposed to be,” senior Sierra Howard said.

Howard was the Pirates’ lone medal winner in the girls race. She placed 14th with her fastest time of the year — 20:20.1. Rodriguez finished 24th in 21:14.3. Freshmen

Sierra Howard crosses the finish line in her fastest time of the season — 20:20.1.

Noemi Malikowski (21:41.1) and Lupita Galeano (21:59.2) were 30th and 37th, respectively.

Senior Chloe Irving was half a step behind Galeano in 38th place with a time of 21:59.6. The Pirates’ other runners were sophomore Sara Van Buren (41st, 22:13.8) and junior Maria Phillips (52nd, 22:36.5).

Matanzas senior Christian Norfolk qualified individually in the boys race with a personal record 17:06.0.

Norfolk placed 19th for a medal spot.

The Class 3A girls race is scheduled to begin at 9:25 a.m. Friday, Nov. 17, at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee. The 3A boys race is slated for 10:15 a.m.

Tallahassee Leon’s Patrick Koon is expected to win his third-straight state championship. He easily won the regional at Matanzas with a time of 15:24.5. He ran behind Gulf Breeze freshman Andrew Beroset for the first mile and three-quarters before turning on the jets. Beroset placed second in 15:47.0.

Matanzas assistant coach Lee Winfree, who rode a golf cart ahead of the runners to keep them on course, said he had to speed up when Koon began taking off.

Koon ran the sixth fastest high school 5K in history with a 14:11.92 at the New Balance Indoor Nationals

in March.

Lincoln finished second behind Fleming Island in the regional team standings. Ponte Vedra won the girls title with the Sharks’ Lindy White (18:36.2), Daisy Ross (18:40.6) and Hilaree Vega (18:59.7) taking the top three places.

The Matanzas girls placed 18th at state last year. Their goal this season has been to finish in the top 10, but coach Tim Kane said they’ll have to hit some PRs to be able to do that.

“Right now we’re 13th to 15th,” Kane said. “But we haven’t had a great run all season. Hopefully we’ll have that on Friday morning.”

Howard said the team has more depth this year with the addition of Malikowski and Galeano.

“Last year our times were a little spread out. This year we’re a pack,” she said.

Flagler Palm Coast’s boys placed seventh at the Region 1-4A cross country championships, which was good enough to qualify for the state meet.

“We kind of made it by the skin of our teeth,” FPC coach David Halliday said. “But we live to fight another day.”

The top eight teams and top four individuals who are not on a qualifying team advance from each region to the state championships on Friday, Nov. 17, in Tallahassee. The Bulldogs are in the toughest region in the state and needed personal-record times

by Braedyn Wormeck, Evan Williams and Kamron Davis on Nov. 11 at the New World Sports Complex in Jacksonville to move on.

Wormeck placed ninth overall with the sixth-best time in school history at 15:46.9. His time ties Matt Cianciulli on FPC’s all-time list. Cianciulli was a multiple state champ and two-time Flagler-Volusia runner of the year in 1999-2000 who went on to run for Colorado State.

“Braedyn certainly moved into some elite company as far as local running is concerned,” Halliday said.

Senior Justin Gilliam was FPC’s second finisher in 16:33.1 for 46th place. Williams (16:53.1) was 60th, Davis (17:04.2) was 67th, Hayden Herndon (17:06.4) was 70th and Jack Gilvary (17:23.7) was 80th.

“Evan’s big PR probably saved our state bid,” Halliday said of Williams, a senior.

Isabella Tarsitan was 83rd at 21:19.2.

Two local runners qualified for state at the Region 2-1A championships at Alligator Lake Park in Lake City. Senior Chris Murdock of First
