Palm Coast to seek new law firm after 15 years
Palm Coast will be looking for a new law firm to supply its legal counsel. City Attorney Neysa Borkert has accepted another position in-house at Garganese, Weiss, D’Agresta & Salzman, P.A., Palm Coast’s contracted law firm since 2008. Managing shareholder Anthony Garganese said the firm won’t be able to supply a dedicated person to function as the city’s attorney in her place. Including Borkert, the firm was using five to nine staff members in the last two years to support the city attorney position, Garganese said. The council can hire a new firm to replace Garganese, Weiss, D’Agresta & Salzman or hire in-house counsel, like Flagler County has. The City Council suggested talking to Flagler County Attorney Al Hadeed to learn more about what in-house legal counsel entails while Assistant City Manager Lauren Johnston puts together a bid for new law firms. The bid period could take at least of 21-45 days. Garganese said the firm will supply legal counsel during the transition period. Borkert’s final day with Palm Coast is Dec. 15.
Several Palm Coast residents have filed code enforcement complaints against the city of Palm Coast for light and noise pollution emitting from Ralph Carter Park. “[The park is] our neighbor,” R-Section resident Marion Petruzzi said. “If I was putting out all those lights and noises … you would give me a summons.” Petruzzi and Harold Sankey live on Richardson Drive, directly behind Ralph Carter Park. City records show that both Petruzzi and Sankey filed complaints with the code enforcement office on Nov. 15 and 16 about light from the park’s multi-use lights and noise from the multiple sports leagues — for adults and kids — that use the park. A third person told the Observer they had filed a complaint as well. Ralph Carter, built in 2009, is one of two parks in Palm Coast with lighting for its multi-use fields. The fields have 10 lights, several of which point directly toward Richardson Drive, separated by some trees and a fence. Palm Coast Communications Director Brittany Kershaw wrote to the Observer in an email that the lights at Ralph Carter, like other parks with amenities like basketball courts and fields, are on until 10 p.m., when the park closes. “We’ve done some trial-and-error with turning them off at certain times,” Kershaw wrote, “but unfortunately, it is unsafe for the park to turn them off any earlier than we do.” Petruzzi and Sankey said the lights weren’t on all the time in the past; only in the last year or so have the lights become a problem. Sankey’s rear property line faces the park, and the lights shine directly into his bedroom windows, he said. “Even when I close the blinds, I still get those bright lights shining in my back bedrooms,” he said. “I don’t

even have to turn the light on when I go in there at night.” Petruzzi said she has contacted City Council members, the city manager and the city Parks and Recreation director about the lights and noise since September 2022, only to be ignored or brushed off. Petruzzi said this is the second time she has become a spokesperson for the neighborhood about Ralph Carter. In 2011, Petruzzi spoke up on behalf of the neighborhood to get a fence installed around the park. During that process, she said, her home was vandalized several times. Because of that, people in the neighborhood are afraid to speak up, she said. Code Enforcement Director Barbara Grossman told the Observer that a Code Enforcement lead supervisor will be going out to Richardson Drive every night starting Nov. 28 after dark to investigate the noise and light pollution complaints. The nightly inspections will continue for at least a week, and could last longer, Grossman said.
“If I was putting out all those lights and noises … you would give me a summons.” MARION PETRUZZI, resident
“Staff is looking into it and will continue to monitor [the park],” she said. Sankey said he bought his lot on Richardson Drive in 1997, before the city was even incorporated. The park was originally intended as a residential park, he said, but it is being used like it’s a sports complex. He said that when the adult sports leagues are out on the fields, he can hear the players and spectators yelling, screaming and swearing constantly. “I have no issue with the park there, if it was used the way it was intended to be used,” he said. “The original plan was a neighborhood park for the kids to play in and people that walk their dogs.” Petruzzi said she would like the city to place coverings over the lights or direct the lights away from the neighborhood, and turn off the lights when no one is in the park to use them. “It’s not supposed to be a sports stadium park,” Petruzzi said. “It’s supposed to be a residential park.” Sankey said he hopes the complaints and attention will spark action from a council and city that doesn’t seem to listen to its residents. “Maybe this will wake those people up,” he said, “and they’ll do some to improve our quality of life.”
Starlight Parade moves back to Town Center Palm Coast’s Starlight Parade will return home to its original location in Town Center and will be held in the evening. Palm Coast announced at the end of October that the Starlight Parade was returning to Palm Coast after a threeyear hiatus, but at a new location in front of Belle Terre Parkway and Indian Trails Sports Complex, and in the morning rather than at night. In response to “overwhelming feedback” from residents, the city has announced the parade will instead take place at Central Park in Town Center at 6 p.m. on Dec. 16, according to a press release from the city. Though the parade will start at 6 p.m., pre-parade activities — entertainment, food trucks, and a variety of family-friendly activities — will begin at 3 p.m. and end at 5:45 p.m. The parade route will begin near the roundabout on Central Avenue and head east, turning north onto Park Street, east onto Lake Avenue, and south on City Place, then continuing south on Bulldog Drive.
Registration opens for Tunnel to Towers 5K

The crow gathered at Central Park’s plaza on Nov. 25 cheered as the city’s annual Christmas Tree and light displays at Town Center were lit. The Tree Lighting Ceremony signaled the beginning of the Rotary Club of Flagler County’s 18th annual Fantasy Lights Festival. The Festival will run nightly from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Dec. 30, with special events occurring on select nights throughout the monthlong event. Two children were chosen to help flip a giant switch to turn on the Christmas Tree: Cole Johnston, son of Assistant City Manager Lauren Johnston; and Corbyn Barbel, the son of Flagler Rotary Club President Charles Barbel. Charles Barbel said during his opening remarks that the Festival’s theme for 2023 is to “create hope in the world.” “So, let’s continue to embrace this joyful season with our friends, family and loved ones,” he said. The Rotary Club began the Festival in 2005. The event was proposed by Bill Butler, the co-chair of the Fanta-

will go to support the Rotary Club’s local charities and support college scholarships for high school seniors, according to the Rotary Club’s website. Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin said the festival is one of the few times in the year when people can come together in good cheer. “This is a night that brings us all together in the spirit of the holiday season,” he said, “embracing the diversity that makes our community so very special.” The Tree Lighting Ceremony was a moment for everyone to reflect on the memories they create together as a community, Alfin said. “Each light on this tree represents a moment of joy, a shared smile and the love we have for one another,” he said. “I can feel the excitement and joy in the air as we gather here, surrounded by the twinkling lights, the laughter of children and the warmth of community love.” Leanna and Cameron Collins, ages 3 and 6, and Avery Dowdy, 5, pose in front of the helicopter light display.

Palm Coast pastor and former council candidate Sims Jones dies at 67 Jones was known for his generosity, said his wife, Philippa Jones. ‘He spoke the truth, and he did not compromise when it came to [God’s word],’ she said. SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
Pastor Sims Jones, a community leader with God’s Love Ministry and a three-time candidate for Palm Coast City Council, died on Thursday, Nov. 16 at the age of 67. Jones is survived by his wife, Philippa Jones, and their three children. A memorial service for the pastor will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 25, at Lohman’s Funeral Home in Palm Coast. Philippa Jones said her husband spent his life in the service of God and following the word of God to help people in need, regardless of where they came from. “He spoke the truth, and he did not compromise when it came to [God’s word],” she said. “He would tell the people that I have to tell you what God’s given me. ‘I’m telling you what you need to hear, not what you want,’ was his famous words.” Jones married Philippa in New York when he was 22 and she was 18. He formed God’s Love Ministry in New York City and later worked as a firefighter for 17 years before being injured in the line of duty. The two moved to Palm Coast in 2005. Philippa Jones said her husband moved God’s Love Ministry to Palm Coast and began ministering to the community here. She said her husband involved himself wherever there was a need — mentoring troubled youth through the juve-

nile justice system; delivering food, hygiene products and toys to those in need; serving as chaplain for the local NAACP chapter; volunteering with the Flagler County Department of Health; and working with several other nonprofits throughout the years. “He called himself a ‘fisherman of men,’” she said. The two of them served as foster parents throughout the years. Jones helped the parents straighten out their lives and mentored the children, too, Philippa Jones said. Sandra Shank, founder of Abundant Life Ministries-Hope House, Inc. and vice chair of the Palm Coast Planning Board, has known Jones for more than eight years. Jones was on the board of Abundant Life Ministries and volunteered as its representative for A Christmas to Remember, a special Christmas initiative for children who have open cases with the Department of Children and Families. Jones spent his life acting as a servant for his community, Shank said. “His passion was service and really helping the underprivileged, to make life easier for people who were struggling the most,” she said. Jones continued to serve the community and those in need faithfully, she said. Even in the last two years, as his health began failing, he pushed himself to be involved with A Christmas to Remember. “He was a true servant,” Shank said. “He had a true heart.” Jones’ desire to serve the community led him to run for Palm Coast City Council. Shank said he ran to represent the underserved communities. “He felt like people didn’t care about the little people,” she said. “He wanted to make sure that the little people had a voice.” Jones embraced people of all faiths. Shank said that Jones was a unifier that way, and the community will feel a hole left behind by him. The best way to honor Jones, she said, is to build a more unified community, not one divided by politics, race and “all the issues that divide us.” “He was a wonderful example of a servant leader,” Shank said. “Because

her father never missed a single milestone in their lives. She said she’s going to miss the way the two of them would debate, his protectiveness, and how enthusiastic he was about the holidays. “When it came to holidays, he

“He answered (the phone) and said, ‘I cannot talk to you. ... We’re fighting right now.’ And I can hear the gunfire.” TOMER OSHRI
BRENT WORONOFF
Since his two Salty Turtle gift shops were among the Flagler Beach businesses spray-painted with antisemitic messages on Nov. 19, Tomer Oshri said he, his wife, Yasmine, and their four children, are keeping their eyes open. “It’s not just happening here, it’s all over the world,” he said. In the month following the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, the AntiDefamation League documented 832 anti-semitic incidents across the United States, an average of nearly 28 a day, representing a 316% increase from the same period a year ago. There has also been an “unprecedented” increase in anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incidents in the U.S., according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Three Palestinian college students in Burlington, Vermont, were seriously injured after a man shot them at close range on Saturday, Nov. 25. Oshri is a Jewish Israeli who proudly flies the Israeli flag in front of his shops. He has been very outspoken in his support for Israel. Since the state of Israel was established in 1948, it has been fighting for its very exis-
was always there. He never missed a birthday,” Zamor said. “Never any of those big milestones that you expect a parent to be at.” Jones’ son, Sims Jones III, said he learned many things from his father. The younger Jones, a pastor in Texas, said he will always remember how his father built the wooden pulpit that Sims Jones III still ministers from today. Philippa said she and her husband were a team in their ministry. Whenever he went to minister to the community, she went with him. It was very hard letting him go, she said, but he is with God now. “I don’t really know how I can continue on with his legacy, but I’m sure going to try,” she said. “He was there for the people. And I’ll be there for them too.”

tence, he said. Oshri met his wife, Yasmine, in Israel. Their two oldest children, Ella and Guy, who are in high school, were born in Israel. Yasmine grew up in Palm Coast and St. Augustine and the family moved to Flagler Beach 15 years ago. Tomer Oshri, 52, served in the Israeli army for the required three years from age 18 to 21 and was in the reserves for over 10 years. “I’d rather be there right now and fight,” he said. “But they don’t need me. If they would call me, I would go in a heartbeat.”
Oshri has a son from a previous marriage, Adir, 21, who lives in Israel and is in the army reserves. He was called up two months ago, Oshri said. Oshri said that since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, he and his family have had trouble sleeping. “We don’t sleep at night,” he said. “Even my American friends, they say, ‘We can’t sleep at night. We can’t believe that this happened.’ And the sad thing that we can’t believe is that they kidnapped so many civilians. They are holding hostages, babies.” On the night of Oct. 7, he said, he fell asleep with earbuds in his ears
listening to a Seinfeld episode on his iPad. He turned over and his iPad dropped to the floor, waking him up. “It was 2:30 a.m. I couldn’t go back to sleep,” he said. “So I picked up the iPad and I got to a news (site) in Israel.” He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He woke up his family. “There’s rockets … It’s a chaotic thing. … right now.” He called a friend in Israel who lives on a kibbutz. “He answered and said, ‘I cannot talk to you. I’m watching. I’m in a patrol right now. There are terror-
ists all over. My son just got shot and shot one of them, got one of them. We’re fighting right now.’ And I can hear the gunfire,” Oshri said. Oshri knows the families of some of the 1,200 victims who were killed in the attack. This was Israel’s 9/11, he said. Israel was different in the 1970s when Oshri was growing up, he said. “There were a few terror attacks, but as far as the population, we got along,” he said. “My uncle was in construction. He used to do plastering. So all of his workers, he’d (pick up) from the West Bank and they could actually drive with their vehicle. They were no barriers, no checkpoints, nothing. They were coming to our house. If a Jewish family was having a party, you’d invite them, they would come to our party. If someone was getting married in their family, we would go to their villages. People used to go shopping in Gaza.” He said it really started changing with the Oslo Accords in the 1990s. “The West thought that if they would bring the two-state solution then we’re going to have peace,” Oshri said. Oshri supports Israel’s plan to wipe out Hamas, which the U.S., since 1997, has designated a terrorist organization. Hamas’ aim, Oshri said, is to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamist state. He said the recent hostage exchanges and cease fire in Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip is a good thing, but he said the hostage exchanges should not be taken at face value. The teens and women released from Israeli prisons were throwing stones or involved in a terror activity, he said. “It’s not women for women and kids for kids,” Oshri said. “(Hamas) took kids, mothers, elderly people.”

Will Furry elected Flagler School Board chair; Christy Chong elected vice chair The board approved a request for letters of interest from law firms and may seek other options for a board attorney. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Will Furry was elected Flagler County School Board chair and Christy Chong was elected vice chair at the board’s annual reorganization meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 28. Chong nominated Furry to be board chair after Cheryl Massaro
nominated Colleen Conklin. Conklin didn’t get the necessary three votes. Sally Hunt then joined Chong and Furry to give Furry three votes. Furry nominated Chong for vice chair. With no other nominations, she was elected unanimously. Furry, Chong and Hunt were all elected to the board a year ago. They did not come in as a voting bloc, but

now they often vote as a majority on divisive issues. They ousted former Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt, winning a 3-2 vote against renewing her contract. They have also joined together in deciding to terminate School Board Attorney Kristy Gavin’s contract. Furry and Chong were sworn in to their new roles by County Court Judge Melissa Distler. Furry and Chong then took their new seats next to Superintendent LaShakia Moore, with former Chair Massaro and former Vice Chair Conklin moving to the other end of the dais. Furry led the meeting the rest of the way with one controversial issue on the agenda — what to do about hiring a new School Board attorney. Following the board’s instructions, Kris Collora, the district’s coordinator of purchasing, presented a draft of a request for letters of interest from law firms with the intent of hiring one firm to act as School Board attorney. The board eventually approved the solicitation for letters of interest, voting 4-1 with Conklin dissenting. But board members could decide to move in a less expensive direction. Massaro introduced the possibility of hiring an attorney on call as an
alternative to hiring a permanent firm. The attorney could be on call monthly, attending all the meetings and providing additional assistance at an hourly rate, Massaro said. Hunt indicated she would be in favor of looking into a less expensive option than hiring a firm. Moore provided a brief update on discussions with Gavin about taking on a new role as the attorney for the school district rather than for the board through the remainder of her contract, which expires in June 2025. Moore said they had met twice, once to discuss dates and once to discuss business, with another meeting scheduled. Massaro had been involved in those meetings. Furry, as the new board chair, will now join Moore and Gavin in the discussions. Furry has already indicated that if an agreement with Gavin and the district comes up for board approval, he would likely vote against it. The board had given Gavin and the district 60 days to come to an agreement. That deadline falls on Dec. 31. If there is not an agreement by then, the board would terminate Gavin’s contract. Conklin said she was concerned that if Gavin’s contract is terminated on Dec. 31, both the district and the
board would be without legal representation. The timeline on the letters of interest proposal projects the hiring of a firm in February. “I think we should be prepared if a mutual agreement (with Gavin) is not reached,” Conklin said. Moore noted that the district can spend up to $50,000 for legal assistance as needed. But the board would still need to fill its gap. Furry suggested hiring an interim attorney by the hour. Massaro lent her support if the rate would be $300 an hour or less. Furry, who chose the firm Shutts & Bowen to analyze Gavin’s contract in seeking a way out of it, said he would get information on hiring an interim board attorney “just to have at our disposal” for the December board meeting. Meanwhile, Massaro asked Hunt again if she had provided in writing, as discussed at the October business meeting, what her just cause was for terminating Gavin’s contract. Hunt said she was advised not to put anything in writing. With the motion already approved to terminate Gavin’s contract on Dec. 31 if an agreement with the district is not reached, Hunt said providing just cause is now “old business.”
Flagler School Board agrees to add seven minutes to high school day The increase in instructional time will allow the district to preserve the weeklong Thanksgiving break and election days off. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Next year’s Flagler Schools calendar will come down to minutes. At a School Board workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 28, board members
agreed to add seven minutes a day, one minute per class period, for the two high schools. That way, they will be able to preserve other scheduling priorities. Louise Bossardet, the school district’s coordinator of data quality, said the earliest start day for districts is Aug. 10, but since Aug. 10, 2024, falls on a Saturday, the earliest start day next year is Aug. 12. District priorities include ending the first semester before winter break, balancing the number of days in each quarter and meeting the minimum number of instructional
BUY • SELL • TRADE
minutes in each semester as required by state statute. Community and board priorities include having a full week off for Thanksgiving break and giving students the day off when schools are used as polling sites on election days. Bossardet noted that five schools are used as polling sites, and students have been off-campus on polling days every year since 201617. Election days next school year are Aug. 20 (primary) and Nov. 5 (Election Day). For parents, the full week for Thanksgiving has been a top priority.
Without compromising one of the priorities, the first semester would have 85 days and the second semester would have 94 days, and the district would not meet the required instructional minutes for high schools. By adding seven minutes a day, there would be enough instructional minutes in an 85-day semester, Bossardet said. The added minutes will push the end of the day for high schools from 2:40 p.m. to 2:47. Instead of 60 minutes between high school and elementary school releases, there will be 53 minutes,
which is enough time between bus runs, Bossardet said, noting that 55 minutes is “the sweet spot.” “We would work with transportation to see if any other adjustments need to be added,” she said. Elementary schools and middle schools will not be affected. The calendar committee is scheduled to meet on Dec. 4. With the board’s input, it can proceed in putting together the 2024-25 district calendar. Email Brent Woronoff at brent@ observerlocalnews.com.

CANDY TRAIL 2 a.m. — 1500 block of North U.S. 1, Ormond Beach Petit theft. Police arrested a 55-year-old Daytona Beach man who damaged a Reese’s candy display and stole $45 worth of the Peanut Butter Cups from a local dollar store. Officers responded to a burglary alarm in the early hours of the morning and arrived at the store to see that the entrance was wide open, according to a police report. After clearing the building and finding no one inside, police noticed that the Reese’s display was knocked over and a shopping cart was wedged between the doors of the cigarette case behind the register. Police reviewed surveillance footage that showed the man who was later arrested using the bottom of a shopping cart to pry open the doors of the store. Once inside, he tried to open the cigarette case with several items — the cart, an umbrella, a balloon grabber — but was unsuccessful. As his consolation prize, he stole candy from the shelves near the register, plus the entire display case of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. A store employee recognized the man as one of the transients who lives in the nearby woods, so police checked the area and followed “a trail of Reese’s candy” to a homeless camp, according to the report. While the camp was empty, police did find the display case with some candy still inside. The man was found by police two days later. He told officers he didn’t remember

burglarizing the store, as he had been “very high and intoxicated.”

KEYED FOR CONFLICT 12:22 p.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach Vandalism. A 76-yearold Daytona Beach resident called police from the parking lot of a local big box store after he noticed his car had been keyed. The resident told police that when he first parked, a man in his 40s approached him and said the resident had almost hit him with his car, according to a police report. The resident told officers that he was confused as to what the man was talking about, as he hadn’t noticed any “near misses.” He said that he and the man verbally disagreed over the matter, but that no foul language or threats were spoken. However, when he got back to his car after shopping, he noticed his car had been keyed on the passenger side doors. Police spoke with store employees to review security camera footage, but they said they didn’t have cameras in the area where the incident occurred. The resident wished to pursue charges if a suspect was located.
NOV. 25
FISHING FOR TROUBLE 1:13 p.m. — 15700 block of State Road 100 near Crescent Lake, Bunnell Possession of drug paraphernalia. A Palatka man was arrested after he trespassed onto a Sheriff’s Office corporal’s property to fish. The corporal owns a property near Crescent Lake that he monitors with security cameras. When the cameras notified him at around 11:40 a.m. that a person was on the property, the corporal called the Sheriff’s Office to tres-
pass the individual, according to an arrest report. Two deputies approached the suspect, who was fishing along the bank of a canal, and told him he was on private property. The suspect said he thought it was state land. He began packing up his belongings, but one deputy noticed that the man was fidgety and had dilated pupils. The suspect consented to a search of himself and his tacklebox, and deputies found a used, capped needle, 0.5 grams of synthetic cathinones and a burned metal spoon. They arrested the man.
NOV. 26
PARTY TIME 1:21 a.m. — First block of Pony Express Drive, Palm Coast Burglary, criminal mischief. An uncle and his two nephews caused $6,000 in property damage to a new construction home in 20 minutes, according to an arrest report. Sheriff’s Office deputies were called out to a duplex under construction when someone saw the men on the property. When the deputies asked the men why they were there, the oldest said they lived across the street, but their home was too loud to hang out at, the report said. The three men were related: an uncle with his two nephews, one of them 18 and the other a minor. Deputies found holes and carvings in the walls and cabinets of one of the units, along with busted concrete bags. The walls and floors were covered in silly string and concrete powder, according to the report. The other unit was undamaged, but there were several alcohol bottles inside. The three men denied causing any damage but admitted to being on the property for around 20 minutes. Deputies arrested all three and took them to the county jail.

Flagler County removes board member New Year’s Eve fireworks show planned
JONATHAN SIMMONS MANAGING EDITOR
The Flagler County Commission has opted to keep Heather Haywood on the Planning Board, but remove Jeff Davies from the Contractor Review Board amid concerns about whether both board members were eligible to serve. The board members’ eligibility was questioned due to regulations that are not spelled out on the county’s application forms for those positions. Flagler County Commissioner Leann Pennington had raised a concern about Haywood’s eligibility during a previous commission meeting, noting that Haywood has a homesteaded property in Deltona, in Volusia County. Planning Board members are required to reside in Flagler County and to be homesteaded in Flagler County, but the County Commission has the purview to waive the homesteading requirement. At a commission meeting on Nov. 20, Haywood
BRIEFS Dance becomes Flagler County Commission chair Flagler County Commissioner Andy Dance is the new chair of the commission, taking over from Commissioner Greg Hansen. Leann Pennington will serve as vice chair, taking over that post from Dance. The positions change each year during a county commission meeting in which commissioners can nominate any other commissioner for either position. It’s common, though not required, for the existing vice chair to be nominated for the chairmanship. Once Dance was nominated, no other commissioners nominated any other com-

explained that she lives in Flagler County as a renter, but is homesteaded in Volusia because of legal reasons stemming from a divorce. “I think that this entire situation could have been have been answered by a phone call,” she said. “ ... My divorce is none of anybody’s business. Now if you were to ask me why am I am homesteaded in Volusia and yet claimed to be a resident of Flagler County once again, that could have been answered very quickly.” County Attorney Sean Moylan said that although people are generally supposed to reside where they’re homesteaded, there are exceptions. “I’ve seen one Attorney General opinion where a person was homesteaded in Putnam County, but was a voter of St. Johns County,” he said. “And in the end, the Attorney General felt that it’s not up to the supervisor of elections to verify homestead status, and as long as they’re claiming residency. They can vote in that county even though they have a homestead elsewhere. So there are anomalies.” Commissioners opted to waive the homesteading requirement in Haywood’s case and voted 4-1, with Pennington dissenting, to do so and to retain Haywood on the board. County Commissioner
Donald O’Brien said that if the commission reconsiders the requirements for Planning Board service, he wouldn’t support retaining the homestead requirement, which is not in place for county commissioners themselves. Davies’ eligibility was questioned because he is not a Flagler County registered voter, as is required for board service. He can’t be, he explained to the commission: Although he is a Flagler County resident, he is not a U.S. citizen and is therefore not eligible to register to vote. Although his father was a U.S. citizen, Davies said, Davies found out about his father’s citizenship too late in life to legally use it to gain citizenship himself. He said he’d served on boards in Orlando before moving to Flagler County. “I’ve always done my best to be part of the community, not because I derive any benefit from that, I just feel I want to feel part of the community,” he said. He noted that he’d never claimed to be an elector. The commission voted 4-1 not to waive the elector requirement, with Commissioner David Sullivan dissenting.
missioners for that position. For the vice chair position, Commissioner David Sullivan first nominated Commissioner Donald O’Brien, who will not be running for reelection — he’s running for the District 19 Florida House seat. Sullivan noted that O’Brien would not have another opportunity and that the vice chair seat would open up again next year. But O’Brien replied that, following Sullivan’s logic, O’Brien would nominate Sullivan. Hansen then nominated Pennington for vice chair. In a call of hands for each nominee, O’Brien and Sullivan voted for each other, but then all commissioners raised hands for Pennington.
Jo Allen, a nursing leader and healthcare executive with over 20 years of experience, will be the board’s vice chair. Bret Schmitz is the new treasurer, and Tyrone Walker is the board’s new secretary, according to the press release. CareerSource Florida announced in February plans to merge several of the state’s 24 workforce development boards, including CareerSource Flagler Volusia and CareerSource Brevard. The consolidation and system improvements are required parts of the Reimagining Education and Career Help Act, signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2021, according to a CareerSource Flagler Volusia press release. Since funding is allocated based on a county’s demographics, the organizations shouldn’t see any reduction in services, CareerSource Flagler Volusia President Robin King told the Observer by text message. The merger must be completed by July 1, 2024, to receive funding for the next fiscal year. King wrote that anyone interested in serving on the new three-county board can reach out to her at robinking@careersourcefv.com. “There will be some board members who remain [on the new board]; others will retire,” she wrote. “And Flagler County needs a strong voice at the table.”
CareerSource to merge; new board announced
CareerSource Flagler Volusia has appointed new corporate officers for its Board of Directors ahead of its merger with CareerSource Brevard. A new chairperson, vice chairperson, treasurer and secretary were appointed at the board’s annual meeting, according to a Nov. 3 press release from CareerSource Flagler Volusia. Aubrey Long, with over 30 years of leadership experience at Bethune-Cookman University, was appointed as the board’s new chair. Mary

The show will be held at the Flagler pier. A ‘surfboard drop’ in Veterans Park will mimic the ball drop. SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
The New Year’s Eve celebrations at Flagler Beach will include a fireworks show this year. The show has a $35,000 budget — the $25,000 originally budgeted for the July Fourth fireworks show, plus $10,000 from a contingency fund — and will take place at the pier at midnight on New Year’s Eve. The Flagler Beach Commission is also planning a “surfboard drop” in Veterans Park that mimics the iconic New Year’s Eve ball drop. The New Year’s Eve fireworks and surfboard drop is the brainchild of City Manager Dale Martin and Commission Chair Eric Cooley. Martin said he asked residents in Flagler Beach what kind of celebrations the city normally does for the new year. “Basically, the answer was, ‘we don’t do anything,’” Martin said, “which seemed out of sorts with the way that I’ve come to understand the culture of this community. ... It’s
Rabbi dies after altercation An Ormond Beach rabbi died on Sunday, Nov. 26, after he was admitted to the hospital on Nov. 15 following an altercation with a member of his Homeowners Association. The city of Ormond Beach said in a statement to the Observer that the argument began due to a malfunction of the Tymber Creek community gate. The HOA member responsible for managing the gate was trying to fix the gate, which twice delayed a woman’s entry into the community. She called her husband, 84-year-old Rabbi Israel Barzak. He came to the gate, and the altercation — which included both men punching each other — took place. Following the incident, Barzak went to the hospital due to back pain, and doctors discovered a brain bleed. The city stated it was “important to clarify that this incident was not motivated by hate or bias, and there is no ongoing threat.” The Ormond Beach Police Department is investigating, the statement said. “Our thoughts are with Rabbi Barzak’s family and loved ones during this difficult time,” the city said. “We also wish to reassure the community that we are diligently working to understand the full scope of this incident.”
a festive town.” Martin met with a representative of the firework company My Three Sons, which performed the Flagler County Fourth of July fireworks. The New Year’s Eve show would last about 12 minutes. The commission unanimously approved the extra funding request at a special workshop on Nov. 20. This will be the first fireworks show in Flagler Beach since 2019. The commission wholeheartedly approved the idea. “I think it’ll be a wonderful thing, and maybe it’d be another tradition that we could look to in the future,” Commissioner James Sherman said. “Everyone wants the fireworks at the beach, in the glow over the ocean,” Mayor Suzie Johnston said. The oversized surfboard that will be lowered from a fire truck in Veteran’s Park will be built by the local surfboard company Tango Surfboards. Cooley said Tango Surfboards intends to cover the oversized board with LED lights. “It’s all about local,” Cooley said. “So, it’s just good to have local vendors already stepping up.” Depending on how construction proceeds on the city’s new pier, this could be the last fireworks show at the pier for another couple of
years, Cooley said. Martin said a My Three Sons representative believed the pier is long enough that the company could use 4-inch shells for the show. The A-frame will need to be completely empty before the show, as will a small portion of the beach surrounding the pier, Martin said. “That building would have to be vacated, in all likelihood, completely by 10 o’clock at night,” he said. Martin said that Gabe Perdomo, the project manager handling the pier design, said it would be safe to use the pier as the launching point. Martin is also working to coordinate with the fire and police departments to ensure safety. For this first show, the commission decided to keep the celebrations simple, eschewing bounce houses for kids but agreeing that a DJ at the park before the fireworks show might be nice. There was some discussion about holding the show a little earlier to accommodate families with children, but the commission unanimously decided to keep the show at midnight. “Fireworks for New Year’s is at midnight,” Belhumeur said. “New Year’s Eve has not ever been designed to be a, we’ll call it, a kid-friendly holiday or event,” Cooley said.

CRIME REPORT
Palestinian student groups sue DeSantis
Teen arrested over threatening messages
The University of South Florida and University of Florida chapters of the group Students for Justice in Palestine have each filed lawsuits against Gov. Ron DeSantis and state higher-education officials over an order that called for disbanding the organization on campuses. The USF lawsuit challenges an Oct. 24 order by university system Chancellor Ray Rodrigues that alleged that National Students for Justice in Palestine violated a state anti-terrorism law by issuing a “toolkit” that referred to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack as “the resistance.” The lawsuit alleges a violation of First Amendment rights and asks a federal judge to declare the order unconstitutional and block its enforcement. Attorneys also said the USF chapter disagrees with at least some of the national group’s views and has “no formal relationship” with the national organization.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested on Nov. 24 for threatening to kill his family, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. FCSO deputies received an anonymous tip about the threats and contacted the suspect and several other juveniles involved. The boy sent the threatening messages over Snapchat, a press release from the FCSO said. The 13-year-old was charged with making written threats to kill and has been turned over to the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, according to the news release. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly urged parents to teach their children not to joke or seek attention by making threats. “Even if it is a joke or for attention, we take any written threat to kill or do harm very seriously,” Staly said. “The law does not allow for a ‘joke’ exception when you get caught.”

Flagler Beach leaders should have denounced antisemitic vandalism
Thanksgiving over, shopping season begins
Dear Editor: I talked to the city manager the day the antisemitic vandalism was discovered in Flagler Beach, and I expressed my disappointment that the mayor, chairman nor city manager did not step up and make a public denouncement of the vandalism. This is not freedom of speech and should be considered a hate crime. I’m disappointed that the city leadership has not taken a more serious stance against this heinous act. As chairman, I would have let it be known that we, as the city leaders, strongly oppose this behavior, and will support our law enforcement to help track down the individual. I would have also let the business owners and community know how much we stand together to push back on this type of racism. KEN BRYAN Flagler Beach

My heart brimmed with gratitude for the adventure we were about to have. I turned to my wife, Hailey, and said, “We couldn’t have done it without you.” She rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah, no kidding.” Sensing that this conversation
was only going to get worse for me, I slowly backed away, as she said, “You really need to learn how to do this someday!” Hours later, once we arrived at our hotel, 5-year-old Luke was content. If all he got out of this trip was to push the button on the elevator, he would be happy. Fortunately, his older siblings played along and let him push the buttons, even if sometimes he accidentally pushed 2, when he should have pushed 3. The next morning, Luke passed up the eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and opted for cold cereal instead. When Hailey came down to join us, she asked him what he had eaten for breakfast. Ever the playful one, Luke said, “I had ‘Wosted Wakes.’” Playing along, Hailey said, “Wexcellent.” Just to make sure his linguistic joke hit home, Luke said, “Do you know what I mean by ‘Wosted Wakes’?” The next day, we began a reunion
with farflung nieces and nephews I hadn’t seen in years. And then, the season of gratitude was over. We were back in the minivan, stuck in traffic, heading back home. Just like that, shopping season had begun. For Luke this week, that meant pulling up a chair at the kitchen table, with a pen in one hand and a toy catalogue in the other. I watched as he analyzed each item on the page. First he circled a toy on the upper right. Then he circled the toy on the upper left. Then he gave up and circled the entire page. “Luke, time to help unload the dishwasher,” I said. He shook his head, no. “You know what happens to kids who don’t help?” I asked. Then, just to make sure my parenting point had hit home, I said, “No presents.” He jumped to his feet and started throwing plastic cups into a cupboard at 90 mph. Just like that, bribing season had begun.
Ask the mayor
Here’s what’s next for the Old Kings Road widening project
DAVID ALFIN PALM COAST MAYOR
Question from Kristy Das: Every article I read about new development near Old Kings Road mentions “the future widening project,” or “there is concern about the fact that Old Kings isn’t widened yet.” You even mentioned it in your last article. What is the timeline for this widening? I’m speaking specifically about North Old Kings. Mayor David Alfin: Widening Old Kings Road North, Ms. Das, is really important for our community, so I thank you for your inquiry. This project is desperately needed to control traffic congestion and road safety. It will also improve resident evacuation in case of an emergency. Palm Coast has been working since 2009 to fund the widening of Old King Road North, from Palm Coast Parkway all the way to Matanzas High School. Phase I was completed in 2021, from Palm Coast Parkway north
YOUR TOWN FREE PILOTING OFFERED FOR PALM COAST BOAT PARADE Boaters hoping to participate in the 2023 Palm Coast Holiday Boat Parade are being offered free piloting services.

to Kings Way. Phase II will be next, from Kings Way north to Frontier Drive. The project will widen the roadway to four lanes and add turn lanes, street lighting and 8-footwide paths on both sides of the road. Project design is currently underway, and we are now waiting to finalize our agreement with FDOT for funding. Once the agreement is signed, we will have a more definite idea of our timeline. Please keep in touch with us about this project. Question from Mara Jesena Wuerth: Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. Mayor. I would like to ask when the city plans to move on the flooding issues. And just a suggestion, don’t you think it would be a great idea to include a few of your constituents that don’t work for the city or isn’t a builder in the conversation? Full transparency is needed and the people impacted by this would know that you do care about fixing this issue and that the solution is coming sooner rather than later. Mayor David Alfin: I, too, wish you a happy holiday and I’m so glad to hear from you again, Ms. Wuerth. Keeping the lines of communication open to each other is most important to me, and also to Vice Mayor Danko and to Council Members Pontieri, Klufas and Heighter.

GRAND VISTA CONDOS OPEN HOUSE DRAWS OVER 600 ATTENDEES Grand Vista Condos’ first public open house, held on Nov. 18 and 19, drew over 600 attendees, owner Zander Burger said. Burger is the CEO of Zander Holding Group of Palm Coast and bought the derelict condos at Grand Haven in June 2022. The two condo buildings were built in 2004 but stood empty for almost 20 years before Burger gutted the buildings to the studs. There are 24 units in the two buildings, and the first 12 are ready to go

Whether it concerns ITT’s original property plan, permitting from either the county or city, stormwater that’s meant to flow to swales, different age homes built next door to homes that are settling or affected by various plantings, sod, or pools – everything is playing a part in determining how to address this issue. Our staff is developing a specific protocol to respond to residents that are affected by construction next door to them. We are currently tracking those residents to appropriately respond. Once again, I’m glad you reached out to me, and I hope you will continue to do so.

Broker Gina Harding said Zander Holding held a private viewing of the building earlier in the week for Grand Haven residents, then a brokers-only viewing after that. Harding said Zander Holding plans to hold open houses at least every other week through the end of the year. Prices for individual units have not been released yet, Burger said, and won’t be until the new year. In an interview with the Observer in October, Harding said units would likely range from $699,000 to $1.4 million. Burger compared the pricing of his condos and other real estate markets to car shopping: Some people go to a Kia dealership for Kias, and others to a Mercedes dealership to buy a Mercedes. “You can’t compare the two costs,” he said. “It’s completely different.”

Moratorium placed on heavy Jason Wheeler, voice of Flagler Schools, steps down industrial zoning in Volusia BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
For many local families, Jason Wheeler has been the voice of the Flagler County School District for the past eight years. Wheeler, the district’s coordinator of communications, will be leaving the district on Jan. 5, 2024, to take a public relations job in city government in the Panhandle. Wheeler did not want to say what city because his hire had not been announced yet. Wheeler has been in charge of Flagler Schools’ communications plan and emergency communications — delivering robocalls to parents on behalf of the district. He also works with district department heads, principals and assistant principals on how best to communicate information about their schools and departments. He said the time was right to look for a different challenge after his youngest son, Andrew, graduated from Flagler Palm Coast High School last spring. His older son, David, a graduate of Matanzas High, works for the district

as a tech support specialist at Belle Terre Elementary School. “I love this job, and I could retire from this job,” Wheeler, 53, said. “But a chapter closed with my kids graduating, and it affords me to find something that fits what I want to do. It’s not that I was stagnant or bored, but you always want to stretch yourself, and I felt I was getting a little too comfortable.” Before he was hired as Flagler Schools’ first information specialist in 2015, Wheeler worked in TV news. He was the Flagler County reporter for eight years at Central Florida News 13. Before that, he worked at the CBS affiliate in Mobile, Alabama; the ABC affiliate in Augusta, Georgia; and the former FOX affiliate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. “This is a great job and a great district,” Wheeler said. “(Superintendent) LaShakia Moore has a great vision where she wants to take this district. Having her will put whoever replaces me in a great position. I only scratched the surface telling the stories here. There are so many great stories in every school.”

The nine-month moratorium is intended to prevent the construction of a fuel farm in Ormond. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
In response to citizens’ ongoing fight to prevent the construction of a fuel farm in Ormond Beach, Volusia County will enact a ninemonth moratorium on development within its heavy industrial zoning district. The Volusia County Council unanimously directed staff to review the I-2 “Heavy Industrial” zoning district at its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 21, and the moratorium stops the processing of site plan applications in unincorporated areas zoned as such. In a press release, the county stated that the council’s direction “permits county staff to review and potentially recommend revisions to these regulations to modernize the zoning category and reflect the current state of local communities.” The ordinances will be reviewed by the county Planning and Land Development Regulation Commission. After listening to many residents speak against Belvedere Terminals’ proposed fuel farm and asking the council to take action regarding the property’s zoning, County Council Chair Jeff Brower praised the decision to pursue a moratorium and pending ordinance to review the I-2 zoning. “I believe you’re getting exactly what you asked for with this,” he said. “... It gives us the possibility of changing [the zoning], not just at one location, but at any location. In my opinion, it’s not punting and kicking it down the road — it’s a more secure way of doing it completely in our county.” The county can pursue a moratorium because Senate Bill 250 was recently amended, striking language that disallowed local governments located within 100 miles of anywhere Hurricane Ian or Nicole made landfall from proposing or adopting “more restrictive or burdensome amendments to its comprehensive plan or land development regulations” before Oct. 1, 2024. Based on the changes, the east coast of Florida is no longer subject to the law. Currently, the county’s I-2 zoning, unlike others, functions as a “catch-all,” without a specific list of uses, said Paolo Soria, senior assistant county attorney. “Any industrial use is allowed by right,” he said. “That’s something we want to take a look at comprehensively when we’re looking at the entire I-2 zoning district.” This is the latest action taken by the County Council in recent weeks to prevent the
“The question is, ‘Should a zoning designation that was decided on more than 20 years ago prevent you from acting in the best interest of your constituents today?’ The answer is a resounding no. Yet over the past three months, we have felt that we have to convince some of you of the job you are elected to do.” ELENA KRAFT, Ormond Beach resident

“It gives us the possibility of changing [the zoning], not just at one location, but at any location. In my opinion, it’s not punting and kicking it down the road — it’s a more secure way of doing it completely in our county.” JEFF BROWER, Volusia County Council Chair
construction of a fuel farm by Belvedere Terminals at 874 Hull Road, which is unincorporated Volusia County land abutting the city of Ormond Beach. The St. Petersburgbased company plans to build a fuel terminal consisting of three tanks with about 300,000 barrels of fuel storage, or about 12.6 million gallons, on site. A moratorium lasting less than two years is a temporary impact, County Attorney Mike Dyer said, and wouldn’t be considered an “inordinate burden” under the Bert J. Harris Act, enacted in 1995 to protect the rights of private property owners. “However, no path is without risks,” Dyer said. Ormond Beach resident Robin Magleora said that, for the last three months, residents have been the ones to research Belvedere Terminals and how the fuel farm proposal came to be. They’ve attended meetings and expressed their concerns to both government officials and news outlets. “The city of Ormond Beach has taken the necessary steps to keep Belvedere from building,” Magleora said. “You were voted into office by your constituents to represent us — to be our voices.” While the city of Ormond Beach has no jurisdiction over the property because it’s on unincorporated land, it has publicly stated it will not annex the property nor provide utilities for it. The city is also working to eliminate its own heavy industrial zoning district, an action that was recommended for approval by the Planning Board on Nov. 9. The City Commission will consider the deletion of the zoning district at its Dec. 5 meeting. Ormond Beach resident Elena Kraft, who along with Magleora has helped organize the citizen opposition to the fuel farm, said that a county that allows a heavy industrial zoning district in proximity to neighborhoods is “not serving their constituents, but rather, the profit-driven industries.” “The question is, ‘Should a zoning designation that was decided on more than 20 years ago prevent you from acting in the best interest of your constituents today?’ The answer is a resounding no,” Kraft said. “Yet over the past three months, we have felt that we have to convince some of you of the job you are elected to do.” County Councilman Troy Kent thanked the Ormond Beach residents — many of whom live in Bear Creek, a neighborhood located less than a mile from the proposed fuel farm site — who showed up to the council meeting. “This is how government is supposed to work, so I want to applaud you for caring enough and showing up,” Kent said. “It means something. ... This is my district. This is were I reside. ... For me, I vow to continue to fight until this is no longer an issue for us.”

Gili’s Kitchen brings kosher Restoring the Martin’s Restaurant chandelier dishes back to Ormond Beach Author Randy Jaye restored the 80-year-old chandelier.
Gili’s Kitchen owner Ricki Ben Simon opened the second location of her restaurant in July.
RANDY JAYE GUEST WRITER
JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
Until last year, Ormond Beach and its robust Jewish community were able to enjoy three different kosher restaurants in town. Then, they all closed. That’s when restaurant owner Ricki Ben Simon was called. She and her husband’s cousin, chef Gili Ben Simon, have been running a kosher restaurant in Jacksonville since 2017. “With the Jewish community, if you have a restaurant, it means that you are established,” Ricki Ben Simon said. “So it was very important for the community to have the restaurant back. They’re an amazing community.” Ben Simon was contacted by a local and asked to consider bringing her restaurant to Ormond Beach. She opened the second location of Gili’s Kitchen at the former Eden Fresh Cafe location at 188 E. Granada Blvd. in July. Since then, the community’s support has been great, she said, from both those who eat kosher and those who don’t. “We thought that here, like in Jacksonville, we can do both,” Ben Simon said. “... We found out that it was going to be a good fit for us, and that’s it. We came to Ormond Beach, and I really love this restaurant.” Being a kosher restaurant, Gili’s Kitchen is dairy-free, doesn’t serve pork, and only serves dishes prepared with certified-kosher ingredients.

Ricki Ben Simon’s favorite dish on the menu is the hummus with mushrooms.
Chef Gili Ben Simon began his culinary training over two decades ago, having trained in Israel. He studied in culinary schools in different countries, including France, Vietnam and Cambodia. The restaurant’s menu puts a modern twist on some Israeli traditional dishes, Mediterranean options and Asian daily specials. On the menu are dishes such as New York-style corned beef sandwiches, matzo ball soup, shawarma and Ricki Ben Simon’s favorite, hummus with mushrooms. Customers also love their burgers, which are made from in-house ground meat, Ricki Ben Simon said. “It’s the most complimented item we have, and I take it as a big compliment because a burger is an American item and Gili is Israeli,” she said. “Many customers, American, come in and say, ‘Wow, that’s the best burger ever.’” Gili’s Kitchen is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 12-8 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Fridays and Saturdays.
After Martin’s Restaurant & Lounge, located at 2000 S. Ocean Shore Blvd. in Flagler Beach, was sold late in 2021, the author purchased the more than 80-year-old unusual eight-domed chandelier, which hung in the bar, from the establishment’s new owner. As the building was being remodeled into the current Crave’s Coastal Kitchen & Cocktails, the old chandelier, which was made around 1940, might have been misplaced in the shuffle, damaged or even discarded and lost to history. The author admired this particular chandelier (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) for many years as a regular customer of Martin’s, and was thrilled to have obtained it and made plans to restore it. The restoration process included a total hand-painting of the chandelier in a dual color scheme (hammered copper and metallic gold). A new canopy (the decorative plate that rests against the ceiling and covers the electrical box) was purchased and hand-painted in matching hammered copper color. Eighty new clear icicles and octagon bead hanging crystals (10 on each dome mount) were attached. Believe it or not, one of the more tedious jobs was the reconfiguring of the 80 original crystal hanger wires to be able to securely attach each crystal. Surprisingly, all 80 original crystal hanger wires were still usable. Fortunately, the vintage white milk glass domes were in excellent condition and only needed a good cleaning. The chandelier’s style is “shaded,” and it has a hint of industrialstyle features, which were certainly
enhanced by the hammered copper and metallic gold color paint scheme. The chandelier survived many hurricanes and nor’easters over the past 80 years, even though it was hanging only feet from the beach. It also survived in a commercial building for over 80 years that housed at least five different restaurants and bars. Martin’s opened on March 7, 1986. Before Martin’s, the building sat vacant for over two years after the Flying Dutchman Supper Club closed. Other businesses that occupied the building include a Chinese restaurant and a barbecue eatery. With thousands of customers entering and exiting the premises over the decades spanning from World War II, the Civil Rights era, the Vietnam War, through the COVID-19 pandemic, one can only wonder what stories this chandelier could tell if it could talk. Today, the restored chandelier hangs in the author’s dining room area and is providing bright artificial light from energy-efficient lightemitting diode (LED) bulbs. This unusual chandelier is surely a recognizable piece of Flagler Beach

history, and it is well on its way to providing artificial light and eye-catching appeal for the next 80-plus years.
BRIEF HISTORY OF CHANDELIERS
The word chandelier is derived from the French word chandelle, which means candle. Chandeliers date back to the 15th century, when they were wooden cross structures or flat metal discs suspended from ceilings supporting candles made from animal fat. At this time, they were predominately used in large buildings such as churches, palaces and castles. By the end of the 15th century, chandeliers evolved into intricate and elaborate designs using expensive materials. From the 16th through the 18th centuries, chandeliers became more affordable, as many working class families had one. During the 19th century, chandeliers were in common use in businesses, workingclass and wealthy homes. The widespread popularity of chandeliers, still using candles, caused many fires. Gas was introduced as a safer and alternative, which made the use of candles in chandeliers obsolete. In the beginning of the 20th century, the growing use of electricity in businesses and homes rendered gasburning chandeliers obsolete. By the middle of the 20th century, the vast majority of chandeliers were electrified and used light bulbs as the primary source of artificial light. Today, chandeliers do not conform to a single style as they are made in a vast array of designs, including Rococo ornateness, Art Deco, Neoclassical, Tiffany, Modernism and more. Randy Jaye is a historian in Flagler Beach. He is the author of three recent history books.

July 7, 1926 - November 19, 2023 Lois Higginbotham, 97, of Bunnell, Florida, passed away November 19, 2023. She was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many people. Lois was born in Indiana, the fourth child of Morris and Pauline Stults. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clifford Higginbotham; her parents; and three brothers, Paul, Richard, and Max. Lois moved to Florida at the age of 11 and graduated from Gainesville High School and Florida State University. Later she earned her Master’s Degree from Nova Southeastern University. Her first teaching job was at Bunnell High School in 1948 and for 75 years, Bunnell, Florida was her home. In 1950 she married Clifford, the love of her life for over 48 years. Lois left an indelible mark on the community. Her passion for education led to a distinguished career of over 40 years, first teaching Home Economics and then
specializing in Elementary and Special Education. Lois generously shared her creative talents and artistic skills by patiently teaching classes on sewing, quilting, and painting. She also enjoyed activities such as traveling, cooking, reading, sudoku, jigsaw puzzles, cards, Mah Jongg and spending time with family. There was never an idle moment in her long life. Lois lived a life that mirrored the teachings of Christ. She was compassionate and always encouraging. Through her actions and unwavering Christian spirit, she positively influenced everyone she met. In addition to leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness, Lois is survived by her loving daughters – Jeanne Wood, Susan Taylor and Christine Gould. She has eight grandchildren, thirteen greatgrandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews.

Record number of participants run Palm Coast’s Feet to Feast 5K.
BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Nicholas Scarangelli crossed the finish line first at the Feet to Feast 5K and kept on running. Scarangelli won the Thanksgiving morning race at the Daytona State College Flagler/Palm Coast Campus, but the Strava tracking app on his watch showed that he was fourtenths of a mile short of a 5K. He wanted his time documented on the app, so he ran a little farther through the parking lot. “The woods might have messed with the GPS, so it might have been a full 5K,” Scarangelli said. But he wanted to be sure. His race time was 15:48. His time on the Strava app was 16:11. Scarangelli, 18, is a freshman cross country/track and field runner at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. The Ocean City, New Jersey, native said he came out for the race just to have fun. “I’m getting ready for (indoor track) season, so I didn’t want to kill myself,” he said. “I’m looking to go under 15 minutes (in the 5,000-meter run). That’s my goal.” Seabreeze High School sophomore Hunter Shuler finished second with a personal-record 16:37. Matanzas High senior Nina Rodriguez finished first among women with a time of 19:35. They were among several high school runners coming off cross country season. The race, hosted by the City of Palm Coast, set a record this year with more than 800 runners and walkers registering. Some walked or ran with their pets. Many dressed up. But none matched the outfit of Deb Blair, of Palm Coast, who won the prize for best costume. Blair’s head fit through a table that was dressed up for Thanksgiving with a festive table cloth and plates, glasses and silverware attached. As she was running with her bulky costume, she would announce, “Make room for dinner.” Blair, 65, is no newcomer to road racing. Just four days earlier, she completed the Arizona Ironman triathlon, a 142-mile ordeal of swimming, biking and running. It was her fourth Ironman race. She finished second in her age group. Running the Feet to Feast 5K in costume is nothing new for Blair, either. Last year, she dressed up as feet, so this year she decided to dress up as a feast. In the past, she said, she has run as a pumpkin pie and as a green bean casserole.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University freshman Nicholas Scarangelli won the Feet to Feast 5K with a time of 15:48. Anna Roberts ran the race while Matt Merritt and Lady waited for her in the parking lot.
Age group winners won a real pie. A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to the Grace Community Food Pantry. Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin, who gave each runner/walker a medal as they finished, was buoyed by the number of young people in attendance. The city is known for its retired population, but younger people are moving in, he said. “We are turning the tide with a healthy, vibrant attitude for the future,” Alfin said.

THE FINE ARTS SOMEWHERE TEXAS Retired art educator Clare Radigan said her purpose in making art is “to use the medium of paint to capture significant moments in an environment that is changing more quickly than it appears to be, as it relates to human existence,” according to her artist statement. Sometimes her paintings are inspired by photos she takes on nature walks. She said in a statement to the Ormond Memorial Art Museum — where her works are on display in an exhibition titled “Surreal Worlds,” with those of Melbourne artist Nancy Baur Dillen’s — that she hopes viewers notice close-ups of natural elements they may otherwise miss. “As some of the paintings progress, I often supply images from my imagination that form an open-ended narrative,” said Radigan, who previously taught at Daytona State College and in Volusia County Schools. “The juxtaposition of objects and atmospheric glazes give the paintings a dreamlike departure from reality. A painting is not finished until it possesses a powerful presence.” “Surreal Worlds” will be on display through Jan. 28. –JARLEENE ALMENAS

THE FINE ARTS PORTRAIT OF YAYOI KUSAMA Ormond Beach artist Robert Shirk’s portrait of Yayoi Kusama contains over 28,000 colored dots. He felt he just had to capture the “master of all things ‘dot,’” he said in a statement to the Observer. “Long before I started using dots in my paintings, Yayoi Kusama was creating her art with dots starting in the 1960s,” Shirk said. “To this day, she is acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, the world’s topselling female artist, and the world’s most successful living artist.” Shirk, a neo-pointillist contemporary artist, uses sheets of layered plexiglass with thousands of colored dots to create part of his final image. This portrait took him about four weeks, he said. A solo exhibition of Shirk’s works, tracking his artistic journey, will open at The Hub on Canal, at 132 Canal St. in New Smyrna Beach, on Saturday, Dec. 2, with an opening reception from 4-7 p.m. Shirk will host an artist talk at 6 p.m. The exhibition will run through Dec. 29. –JARLEENE ALMENAS

SPORTS Mainland downs Sebring to advance to Class 3S state football semifinals The Bucs will host Ocala Vanguard for a spot in the championship game. OBSERVER STAFF
There will be a new Class 3S state football champion on Dec. 7. And Mainland is one of four teams left contending for the title. The Buccaneers, who lost to Lake Wales 32-30 in the championship game last year, have dedicated this season to getting back to the final and taking care of unfinished business. Mainland is now one win away from returning to the title game. The Bucs dispatched Sebring 35-14 in the Region 3-3S final on Nov. 24 at Daytona Stadium to advance to the state semifinals. They will host Ocala Vanguard on

Friday, Dec. 1, for a spot in the Class 3S championship scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 7, at Bragg Memorial Stadium in Tallahassee. The Vanguard-Mainland winner will play either St. Augustine or Dunbar. Vanguard (11-2) drubbed reigning state champ Lake Wales 52-15 on Nov. 24. Fred Gaskin threw four touchdown passes for the Knights, avenging a 40-0 loss to the Highlanders in the playoffs last year and ending Lake Wales’ 27-game winning streak. Vanguard was also the last team to beat Lake Wales on Nov. 19, 2021. The Bucs, seeded second in Class 3S behind St. Augustine, improved to 12-1. D.J. Murray tossed touchdown passes to Phillip Moore and Tyree Weatherspoon. Rodney Hill ran for two touchdowns, and Khamani Robinson also rushed for a touchdown. Robinson’s 9-yard score gave the
Bucs a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Sebring tied the score early in the second quarter on Travis Kearney’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Michael Perry. But the Bucs went on to score four unanswered touchdowns in the second and third quarters to put the game away. Vanguard will be playing in its first state semifinal since 1994 when quarterback Daunte Culpepper led the Knights to the Class 5A state championship game in Daytona Beach. Vanguard was down 19-0 to Bradenton Southeast in the final before scoring 17 unanswered points. But the Knights missed the potential game-winning field goal to fall 19-17 to the Seminoles in one of the most exciting championship games played in Daytona.

Flagler Palm Coast High School football player Mikhail Zysek said he felt like a model when he was doing a photo shoot to be on an AdventHealth billboard. Zysek, Matanzas High School football player Dakwon Evans and Seabreeze High School volleyball player Mollie Martin are each pictured on an AdventHealth billboard on I-95 in Flagler and Volusia counties promoting the hospitals’ orthopedics departments. The athletes recently met with AdventHealth executives — Zysek and Evans at AdventHealth Palm Coast, Martin at AdventHealth Daytona Beach. They each received a mini replica of their billboards. “Thank you guys for all you do for the community, being true examples for other students,” Denyse BalesChubb, AdventHealth Palm Coast’s president and CEO, said to Zysek and Evans. Zysek thanked Bales-Chubb and Clifton Scott, chief operating officer for AdventHealth’s two Palm Coast hospitals. “Our trainer, Ron (Steinwehr), does so much for us, helping us with our injuries,” said Zysek, a junior who plays wide receiver on the football team and is also a soccer player. “I never thought I’d ever be on a billboard,” Evans said, “especially at this age. This is an experience I’m never going to forget.” AdventHealth has a close relationship with the local school districts, providing athletic trainers to Volusia and Flagler high schools and health screenings for students. The billboards are a celebration of that relationship. “It’s really cool to have people call

me and say, ‘I saw you on a billboard,” before I even saw it,” Zysek said. Martin, a senior, said seeing herself on a billboard has been a rewarding experience. “Not everyone gets the opportunity as a high school athlete to be put on a billboard for a major hospital around the world,” she said. “It’s been fun.” Martin said she remembers the day the photographers came to her school. They pulled her aside and started photographing her individually. “She (the photographer) sent me the picture that was going to be put on the billboard, and that’s when it felt so surreal that it was going to happen,” Martin said. Her friends at school and even other students she doesn’t know well have come up to her at Seabreeze and asked if she was the player featured on the billboard, located less than a mile south from I-95 exit 268 onto

West Granada Boulevard in Ormond Beach. Martin’s parents are hoping they can receive the billboard once the campaign ends. AdventHealth Daytona Beach holds a special place in Martin’s life as well because doctors saved her father’s life in 2018 after he suffered a widowmaker heart attack. “The survival rate for those aren’t very high, so for them to push him through and save his life meant the world to me,” Martin said. Evans, a senior, said he wasn’t sure if he’d ever play football again after suffering a fractured collarbone during his junior season. But he came back as a senior to help lead Matanzas to the playoffs. He hopes to play football for a junior college, graduate
with an associate degree and transfer to a four-year school. Martin plans to attend Daytona State College, but she’s still deciding what career path to follow. Martin, who was crowned one of Seabreeze’s homecoming queens this year, said she is considering majoring in nursing or business management and hospitality. She’s been in the Allied Health Academy program at Seabreeze High School all four years and has worked at Rose Villa Restaurant since she was 15. “I’m torn between the two because I love giving,” she said. “I love helping people. As for volleyball? She’s spoken to DSC’s coach and plans to attend a tryout practice in the spring.

Golden year: Savannah O’Grady has been off the chain for Flagler Palm Coast The senior midfielder has scored 11 goals in six games. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Flagler Palm Coast soccer player Savannah O’Grady created a team tradition when she was a freshman. Senior Ashley Buglione scored four goals in a game that season. So O’Grady made her a gift. “I was like, a hat trick is three goals, but what do you get for four goals?” O’Grady wondered. “So me and my dad (Embry-Riddle assistant basketball coach Patrick O’Grady) went to Lowe’s and we got a mailbox number four that we spray painted gold with a gold-link chain. And so we made a four chain. So anytime that you score four goals, you get a chain.” Later that season, Hailey Bovino scored four goals, so O’Grady made her a gold chain. Last season, Jessie Seay scored four goals in a game, so O’Grady made her a gold chain too. O’Grady the soccer player has always been similar to O’Grady the person. She’s generous and creative on and off the field. On Nov. 18, the Daughters of the American Revolution surprised her with the Good Citizen Recognition Award with an opportunity to win a college schol-
arship. As a center midfielder, she’s used to leading her team in assists. “When I was 10, someone threw me in the middle of the field,” she said. “I feel like I’ve always had a vision on how to distribute the ball to people, and I read the game pretty well. So I feel like it’s a great fit for me. My whole life I’ve been unselfish.” Until now. In six games this season, the senior has scored 11 goals. In FPC’s 7-0 win against Menendez on Nov. 16, she scored four goals. “Now I get to make my own gold chain,” she said.”That’s pretty special for it to come full circle. I was trying to create something that adds to the cultural piece, and then to be able to receive that at the end is pretty solid.” O’Grady has scored in five straight games. On Nov. 27, she scored both goals in a 2-2 tie against Fletcher. Her 25-yard free kick curled into the net, knotting up the game midway through the second half. “She’s scoring a lot of goals from the defensive mid position, which is rare,” coach Pete Hald said. “A lot of it I think is confidence. She’s over-the-top confident in her ability. She’s not rushing. I think you can tell she’s thinking (through) the game and making good decisions.

Freshman Lauralee McLeod (11) with sophomore Isabella Kummernes, who has been cleared to play from an injury she suffered in the offseason.
She’s bigger, stronger and faster than she was last year. She’s done a lot of work technically. So, her skill level has gone up at the same time as her confidence level.” O’Grady said the change in her game is the result of her switching soccer clubs to North Florida Soccer Academy with coach Mike Pickett. “We focus on technical training and tactical stuff,” O’Grady said. “Instead of scrimmaging people our age, we scrimmage college teams in their offseason. We scrimmage teams like Daytona State, Thomas University, Embry-Riddle.” During the summer, she made the drive to the soccer academy in Jacksonville four times a week. “It’s an academy where you just hone in on your skill set,” O’Grady said. “I feel like it’s really translated to my success at the beginning of the season here and really upping my leadership skills.” The Bulldogs, 4-1-1 entering their game at Spruce Creek on Nov. 29, have seven seniors and seven freshmen on the roster. “These freshmen are testing my patience,” O’Grady joked. But they’ve also contributed to FPC’s hot start. “We got more depth this year than we’ve had in the past,” Hald said. “These young girls are really changing our game.” “Three or four freshmen regularly start for us,” O’Grady said. “You know, you’re popping onto the field at 14 years old playing against 18 year olds. I’m just trying to show them that we understand and that we are proud of them that they’re stepping up to that level.” O’Grady would like to be a coach and educator some day, just like her parents. “My mom (Imagine Schools Regional Director Lisa O’Grady) has been into education her whole life. My dad’s been in education before he got into coaching, and I want to be a college coach,” she said. “It’s kind of
where my heart is.” FPC assistant coach Cat Bradley said O’Grady is a coach on the field. “She’s the one we lean on,” Bradley said. “She’s a positive player, and she’s fun to be around. She’s the one who leads our team with everything.” This year she’s leading a highscoring team with 11 of FPC’s 28 goals. “I trust these freshmen and I trust our front line,” she said. “But when the opportunity arises, big-time players make big-time plays in big-time moments. And I feel like I’ve always been that big-time player, and so I am confident in myself to be able to make things happen.”
“Now I get to make my own gold chain. That’s pretty special for it to come full circle.” SAVANNAH O’GRADY

George Butts’ 547th career victory will have to wait, but after 27 seasons as a head basketball coach, Butts understands the value of patience. In his regular-season debut as Flagler Palm Coast High School’s girls basketball coach, the Bulldogs fell to visiting Jacksonville Episcopal 38-36 on Monday, Nov. 27. “I’m happy with my group,” Butts said. “I’ll take this game as a
teaching measure.” Butts won 515 games at Atlantic High School, where the gym now bears his name. After retiring from the Volusia County School District, Butts coached the past two years at Calvary Christian in Ormond Beach, improving his career record to 546-187. The Bulldogs (0-1) did not score a point in the first quarter against Episcopal (2-1) but outscored the Eagles 16-8 in the second quarter to trail by one at halftime and then forged a tie at 27-27 heading into the fourth quarter. “We’re a fairly young team,” said sophomore guard Alexandria Connerton, who led FPC with 12 points. “When our emotions got high, coach kept us calm and under control and got us focusing on details.” But after taking a 34-29 lead midway through the fourth quar-

SIDELINES TWO BULLDOGS WRESTLERS WIN TOURNEY TITLES
Flagler Palm Coast High School had just two girls wrestling last year. Now the Bulldogs are headed toward fielding a full team. The Bulldogs sent six wrestlers to a season-opening girls tournament at Lake Gibson on Nov. 25 and came away with two championships, a runner-up and two third-place finishes. Christina Borgmann and Gabby Proctor have transferred to FPC from state girls champ Matanzas. Borgmann, who was a runner-up at last season’s state championships, won the 130-pound title at Lake Gibson. Ana Vilar, who placed sixth at state, won the 125-pound title at Lake Gibson. Proctor was the runner-up at 155 pounds at Lake Gibson, while Joselyn Johnson (105 pounds) and Alexa Calidonio (190) placed third. Freshman Alisha Vilar went 4-2 in the 140-pound class. Junior Ana Vilar and sophomore Johnson wrestled for FPC last

season. Calidonio joined the team’s Flagler Wrestling Club in the spring after lacrosse season. “She was in my freshman PE class,” FPC wrestling coach David Bossardet said. “She comes from a lacrosse family. Her brother, Brandon, is on our (wrestling) team, and she decided to give it a try. She’s been wrestling with us all summer.” Alisha Vilar, Ana’s younger sister, is primarily a gymnast, Bossardet said. “Gymnastics is her priority, and
we support that,” he said. “So we got creative with her schedule.” Bossardet said Borgmann and Proctor have fit right into the Bulldogs’ program. “Obviously, going to a different program, things are going to be different,” Bossardet said. “But they’ve gone in with an open mind and done everything we’ve asked of them.” The FPC boys team is rebuilding this year, Bossardet said. The Bulldogs will be heading to two season-opening tournaments this weekend — the Optimist Invitational at Jacksonville Sandalwood High and a JV tournament. Bossardet said a lot of the Bulldogs’ first-year varsity wrestlers will be going to the JV tournament to get some experience under their belt. The Bulldogs have only two home dates this season — the annual Flagler Rotary Invitational on Jan. 26-27 and the dual meet with Matanzas on Jan. 31. “We want to wrestle in front of our home fans,” Bossardet said. “We’re trying to add another home dual. Last year, most of our duals were at home, so we wanted to return the favor and travel to their places.”
MAINLAND FIFTH AT PRINCESS PUNCHOUT
Mainland’s girls wrestling team placed fifth at the Princess Punchout at Wiregrass Ranch. Three Buccaneers reached the finals to finish second in their weight classes — Mia Vega (130), Jeslene Gonzalez (170) and Eva Rojas (190). Three other Mainland wrestlers won medals — Trinya Tillman, third at 155 pounds; Kylie Ratcliffe, fourth at 125 pounds; and Alexa Kiser, fifth at 190 pounds.
