Gregory Hansen chosen to fill Schools Superintendent commission seat, vacant since Jacob Oliva stepping down Frank Meeker’s death Oliva has accepted a position with the Florida Department of Education. He will remain in his current position through the end of the school year.

Hansen’s County Commission term, by appointment rather than election, will be Jan. 13, 2017, to Nov. 20, 2018.

Six months after the death of County Commissioner Frank Meeker, Gov. Rick Scott has selected Meeker’s successor on the commission: Gregory Hansen.

Hansen, 70, lives at 27 Coleridge Court in Palm Coast, and he said he is “humbled” by the appointment. Hansen was elected in 2016 to the Republican Executive Committee but has not held any other elected office.

Ever since he submitted his name to be considered for the County Commission opening, Hansen said, he has been keeping up to date with the local issues, including the beach erosion after Hurricane Matthew.

“I read all the stuff that’s published, as an outsider,” Hansen said. “Now I’m going to be on the inside, and I look forward to that.

I’m ready to go to work.”

Hansen said he knows three other members of the commission well: Dave Sullivan, Charlie Ericksen and Nate McLaughlin, all of whom also serve on the REC. Scott’s appointment comes more than six months after Meeker died.

Greg Hansen: “ I’m ready to go to work.”

“Commissioner Frank Meeker was an incredible asset to the Palm Coast Community, and will be dearly missed by all,” Scott said in a press release. “I am confident that Greg Hansen will work hard on behalf of the residents of Flagler County.”

Hansen is a retired captain in the U.S. Navy and previously served as the head appropriations committee liaison for the Office of the Navy Comptroller, and a commanding officer on the USS McClusky and the USS Antietam. He received his bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and his masters in financial management from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School. He said he considers budgeting to be his strength, but that he also feels comfortable with other aspects of the job of being on the commission.

Hansen is appointed for a term beginning Jan. 13, 2017, and ending on Nov. 20, 2018. He said he is committed to running for reelection when the term is up.

In his application, Hansen listed Anne-Marie Shaffer, Janet McDonald and Violet Drexler as references. Hansen’s brotherin-law, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, of Texas, also sent a letter of recommendation to the governor.

Greg Hansen has been married for 44 years to his wife, Linda, a former Pan Am stewardess.

He asked her to marry him on a 747 at a stop in Saigon, in 1972, after they had known each other for only 30 days.

After they got married, Greg moved in with Linda and her two co-workers. Linda recalled: “He would tell anyone who would listen, ‘I live with three Pan Am stewardesses.’”

After 17 years with the Flagler County school district and two years as its superintendent, Jacob Oliva is stepping down to take a job with the Florida Department of Education.

Oliva will move to an executive position within the FDOE after the school year ends in August.

“I am excited about the opportunity to join a high-performing state-level team that will not only impact the achievement levels of the students in Flagler County, but statewide,” Oliva said in a school district news release.

“We hope you all always stay connected with us,” School Board member Colleen Conklin told Oliva at a Jan. 17 School Board meeting. “I think you’re going to be a great asset to the state, and a great asset to Flagler County as we continue to build that relationship.”

“I think the hallmark of your term here will be in pulling together a really awesome staff,” School Board member Andy Dance told Oliva at the meeting. “Pulling in people who normally wouldn’t normally accept a position at Flagler Schools, but have been convinced that this is the place they need to be because we’re doing such amazing things here, being able to keep staff that may have found bigger and better opportunities, but knew that we were on to something special here in Flagler County. ... Not only do we have great people, they know that the expectations are at a high level, and they need to produce at a high level.”

Before becoming Flagler Schools’ superintendent, Oliva

Flagler Schools Superintendent Jacob Oliva

served as the principal at Flagler Palm Coast High School and as a teacher at Wadsworth Elementary School.

As superintendent, Oliva oversaw the implementation of the district’s 1:1 initiative to place a computer or tablet in the hands of each district student, and the development of the district’s Classroom to Careers Flagship Program, through which individual schools offer intensive learning programs in particular subjects.

Conklin, at the School Board meeting, suggested the board move quickly to start the search for a new superintendent.

“I would recommend, having gone through this process before, that we be very aggressive with the timeline,” she said, advising the district form a citizen selection committee and consider contracting with a firm to aid the search.

Flagler County School Board Chairman Trevor Tucker said in the news release that he wishes Oliva the best in his new position.

“It will be good to have a friend of Flagler Schools in Tallahassee,” Tucker said.

‘Thank you,

Betsy Smith, Yumeka and Yumalik Carey, LaTasha Vilomar, Ja-yanla Robinson, Tyrel Schultz, Jahzara Smith, Z’niya Vilomar, Antonio Rivera, Christine Kraus and Savannah, Enrique Vilomar, and Ivette Moux

Palm Coast’ Locals donate and assist at a car wash for Betsy Smith, mother of Kelvin, who was killed in a hit-and-run crash.

JEFF DAWSEY STAFF WRITER

Betsy Smith spent her weekend smiling, thanks to the local community. According to family friend Anthony Vilomar, Smith hasn’t smiled much since her son, Kelvin, 16, was killed in a hitand-run crash on Old Kings Road on New Year’s Eve. In an effort to help pay for funeral expenses, Vilomar, owner of Elegant Shine Auto Detailing and father of Kelvin’s best friend, Enrique, helped put together a car wash fundraiser on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 14-15, at VFW Post No. 8696.

Members of the community

flocked to the car wash to donate, and many even helped wash cars, wave signs and pass out food.

Company owners and workers from Elegant Shine, Mayes Car Wash, Smoothie King, The Wax Guys, Bedtops Mattress, Froggy’s Saloon and more either donated or provided services to benefit the fundraiser.

“Kelvin and Ricky rode bikes all the time down Old Kings,” Vilomar said. “That could’ve been my son, and I know Kelvin would’ve been here to help my family.”

Betsy Smith, overwhelmed by the community’s outpouring of support, noted that the family has only lived here for five months.

“I didn’t expect such a great

turnout, but I’m very grateful,” she said.

Smith never imagined she would have to bury any of her children. Nothing, she says, has ever been tougher to endure, and she was reminded of that on Friday, when she had to drive past the site where Kelvin was killed.

“It just tore me up,” she said, “because that was the first time I’ve ever been near the site.”

Enrique Vilomar said he and Kelvin shared eccentric personalities that helped them become friends, and that they managed to make friends with everyone.

He said Kelvin just possessed that kind of nature.

“He made me laugh every day,” Vilomar said. “When I would get down, he always picked me up. He was like this big teddy bear that everyone liked.”

“To know Kelvin was to love him,” Betsy Smith added.

A short story of a GOOD man.

Sam grew up in a small town Tyrone, Pennsylvania, a good son 1st of 2 to Samuel Lightner Barr Sr. & Rebecca Garman Barr, a loving brother to John G. Barr.

He was a passionate football player, hunter, fisherman and lifeguard.

He worked part time to help with college expenses selling eggs and gravesites. Many a good stories were told over the years about these 2 jobs.

Sam received a football scholarship to Brown University, which he attended for 2 years before joining the American Armed Forces. He served during the end of the Korean War. Returning with questions about his future, serving in the army with young men from all over this fine country, young men from all walks of life, different religions and nationalities, gave Sam a different perspective on life.

He attended Gettysburg College for 2 years decided seminary life was not his calling and returned to Brown University to finish his Bachelor of Science degree.

There he met his wife to be and his soul mate Lea Oliveira.

Sam’s career started after marriage as a salesman for life insurance progressing to a bank Trust department in Pennsylvania. He became a bank officer within 2 years. Sam was pursued by a headhunter for a position as Sr Trust officer heading up the trust department for a Northern Pennsylvania bank, was pursued again by a Chicago bank to head up their trust department and was transferred to Miami where he worked for 10 years, once again pursued by NY Holding Trust Company for managing their Trust Department and serving on their board.

All these years of pursuing a career Sam never stopped his calling to serve others.

He served as chairman for more than 15 organizations - Girls Scouts, Boy Scouts, Red Cross, United Way, Panckee Institute, several churches, Sylvester Comprehensive Research to name a few. He gave up his time and made major donations for many organizations.

His name can still be seen throughout Miami- rooms donated in Sam’s name for blood work and playrooms at Miami Children’s Hospital, bricks in walkways with his name inscribed as a major donor for cancer research, granite walls in various hospitals and schools with his name inscribed as a major donor. Not only did he feel he should “PUT BACK” (his favorite quote) financially, but his time. He was a successful man who worked hard all his life, he was a wonderful loving husband, he was a great Dad, and he was a good friend to many.

Sam will be remembered and loved forever and beyond by his 4 children whom he loved and was extremely proud, Andrea Barr Benjamin, Virginia Niebauer, Samuel L.Barr III. Rebecca Price, his three son-in laws Robert Benjamin, Jim Niebauer, and Robert Price. He adored and was extremely proud of his 10 grandchildren: Jessica Coy, Candice Coy, Yolanda Coy, Sierra Benjamin, Amanda Gilpin, Hunter Hayes, Victoria Price, Robert Price, Joseph Price, Bradley Price, and his 1 great grandson, Christopher Butland.

Sam Barr was a good man. We are all better for having known him.

Deputies show up at man’s door after prankster calls for SWAT team ‘Swatting’ pranks involving false reports to policing agencies can lead teams of officers, guns drawn, to unsuspecting victims’ homes.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The first time internet “pranksters” got to him, the 20-year-old Palm Coast man was surprised by a pizza delivery man knocking at his door with $50 worth of pizza he hadn’t ordered.

The next day, the knock on the door was more serious: Two Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies were investigating a disturbance someone had reported anonymously, and, apparently, falsely — a practice called “swatting,” in which criminals try to send a SWAT team to the target’s home.

The two deputies showed up at the 20-year-old’s Francis Lane home at 10:30 p.m. Jan. 12. The anonymous complainant had said

The post-Matthew tax problem: Is your property up to date?

After Hurricane Matthew, some residents felt it was too expensive to make repairs to a damaged shed or screen cage, and they decided to eliminate the shed or screen, instead.

In fact, that happened to a neighbor of Flagler County Property Appraiser Jay Gardner, and it got him thinking: How many other people eliminated features of their property but didn’t report it?

“If we know it’s not there, we’ll take it off the tax roll,” Gardner said. However, his employees don’t visit every house every year, so his office might not find out that a particular resident is entitled to pay lower taxes — unless the resident reports it by calling the Property Appraiser’s Office at 313-4150.

Also, March 1 is the deadline to file for homestead, senior or other exemptions.

Bethune-Cookman partnership would open local summer program Up to 50 Flagler County students may have the chance to attend a new summer program this year though a proposed partnership between Flagler Schools and Bethune-Cookman University.

The partnership would bring the Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools Program — which provides summer reading enrichment to students — to Flagler Schools, with Bethune-Cookman’s education students interning as teachers.

The six-week summer program would be open to rising fifth- to ninth-graders and would be run in partnership with community organizations such as the Inspire Our Youth program.

“The Freedom Schools are all

he or she had overheard a disturbance at the house over an internet live stream.

Deputies spoke to everyone in the home and found “no signs of a disturbance,” according to a deputy’s report.

The 20-year-old victim said he did live internet streaming and believed a fellow internet live streamer had swatted him.

He told the deputies about the mystery pizza delivery from the previous day.

“This appears to be a trend with persons who are heavily involved in LIVE STREAMING online,” the deputy wrote in the report.

Another swatting incident led deputies to break down a man’s door in Palm Coast’s Z-Section in March.

over the nation, and in almost every instance, they see reading ability jump,” Bethune-Cookman School of Education Dean Willis Walter told the Flagler County School Board at a Jan. 17 workshop. “The Freedom School has its own curriculum in which they share materials and things that the students can do over the summer to ensure that they do not backslide over the summer in reading and math.”

Flagler County is one of two areas Daytona Beach-based Bethune-Cookman University hopes to open a summer Freedom Schools program staffed by its education students. Walter had hoped that Buddy Taylor Middle School could be the site of the Flagler program. The other location, which would also offer the Freedom Schools program to 50 students, may serve and be located in a low-income area of Volusia County, Walter said.

The consensus of the School Board was to move forward with the proposed partnership with Bethune-Cookman University. The district could put about $25,000 toward funding the program, School District superintendent Jacob Oliva said.

Here’s how to get a flu vaccination The number of ER visits for people at high risk for the flu is rising in Florida, and it is “critical that all Floridians get the flu vaccine,” according to a Department of Health news release.

Flu vaccine injections are recommended over nasal spray flu vaccines this season.

Flu shots are available for $10 for Medicare, non-HMO patients: Call 386-437-7350 Ext. 7095 for clinic times.

Investigation opened after car seen driving down I-95 with dog tied on top of trailer NEW 2016 FOREST RIVER ROCKWOOD ULTRA LITE 2607A

GOING ON NOW! Exclusively at

JONATHAN SIMMONS COMMUNITY EDITOR

OWNER KEEPS DOG For now, Sheriff’s Office Spokesman Mark Strobridge said, the dog is in the custody of the owner.

“At this point in time, there appears to be no immediate danger to the dog,” he said. “We’re very, very fortunate that there was no injury — not that that makes it right.”

A Flagler County woman was heading south on Interstate 95 Jan. 11 when she looked out her window and saw a sight that made her reach for her phone to take video, and, later, contact the police: The SUV next to her was towing a trailer with a dog chained to its top, cowering in the wind.

Brenna Cronin posted the cell phone video to Facebook, where the video had attracted 427,000 views on Facebook by the afternoon of Jan. 12.

“Just saw this (profanity) driving down 95 with a dog with the letter S carved into his leg chained to the top of a cage....does anyone know this vehicle?” she wrote in the Facebook post.

Dozens of people replied, cursing the dog’s owner and urging Cronin to call 911. She contacted the Flagler County Sheriff’’s Office the morning of Jan. 12.

The Sheriff’s Office tracked down the driver and his wife, who live in St. Johns County, Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Laura Williams said.

“It’s up to us to determine whether there was criminal intent to be cruel to the dog,” she said.

The Sheriff’s Office is waiting for an assessment from Flagler Animal Services, she said. “Our detective plans to decide to file charges based on what they find out.”

Amy Carotenuto — who directs the Flagler Humane Society, which oversees Animal Services — said that as far as Animal Services can tell, “We do not think (the driver) intended to harm the animal. ... They just weren’t thinking.”

Flagler Animal Services officers visited the driver’s home on Jan. 12 to do a welfare check on the dog

and issued a $35 ticket for violating a county ordinance on safe transportation of animals, which requires dogs transported on trailers to be tethered twice; this dog was tethered once, she said.

By the time the fine was issued, the video had gone viral, prompting outrage against the driver and his wife.

“I don’t think they’re going to do it again,” Carotenuto said.

What was shown in the video, she said, was “infuriating” and unsafe.

“I’ve seen plenty of severely injured animals from falls out of pickup trucks,” she said, noting that even pickup truck beds offer more protection from wind and debris than the dog in the video had. “It’s not just the safety of the pets, it’s the safety of the other drivers, too. If I saw a dog fall, I would swerve — and maybe get hit by a semi. It could have ended very tragically.”

There are about a dozen dogs on the property, and officers from St. Johns County Animal Control also visited to investigate.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 2017

Dear Editor: In our world of Kardashians, endless negative post-election coverage and the now infamous Mariah Carey mishap, I’d like to share my simple story. It is an eavesdropping story that I will carry with me for a long time.

Four complete strangers were standing on a customer service line at a local department store. First on line was a young man returning a television the size of an IMAX projection screen. I was next, followed by an elderly man and then a woman probably in her mid 30s.

Elder Man: I guess you couldn’t fit that TV in your bathroom.

Young Man: It doesn’t work, so I have to return it.

Elder Man: I bought myself a 32-inch flat screen, and that’s all I need. My son bought me a television for Christmas, but I didn’t have the heart to tell him I already bought one for myself. So, I’m bringing it to my church. Someone will probably pay $40 for it.

Woman: I’ll buy it.

Elder Man: No, you can’t buy it. I’ll give it to you.

Woman: Really? You’re kidding me, right?

Elder Man: Let me give you my address and you can stop over on Saturday. My birthday is Friday, so I won’t be home, but Saturday morning works.

Woman: I am a single mom raising a 4-year-old, 7-yearold and an 8-year-old. My television was stolen a week before Christmas. Maybe you

Bob and Regina pose for Joan Soldano, the teacherreporter.

read about it in the papers.

When the person stole my TV, they also stole all the kid’s electronics and gift cards I left out on the counter. I feel like this is a Hallmark commercial, and I’m starring in it.

Me: I can’t help listening to your conversation. Sir, you are so kind to offer your television to this young lady. This does seem like a Hallmark commercial. Can I take your picture?

Elder Man: Huh? Sure.

Me: Sir, may I ask how old you are?

Elder Man: Well, I’ll be 86 on Friday. At my age, I have too many things already. She could use the TV. Me: And what is your name?

Elder Man: Ron. Me: And yours (looking at the woman)?

Woman: Regina. We are Ron and Regina. Are you a reporter or something?

Me: I am not a reporter, but a teacher who needs to share this

story with others.

So, I took their picture. And smiled the entire way home.

JOAN SOLDANO Palm Coast

A role model for a child Dear Editor: My 3-year old grandson, Jerry, attends Bunnell Elementary School and receives special help. My job is to pick Jerry up from school and look after him until my daughter, his mom, gets home from work.

Yesterday we went to the Indian Trails Sports Complex and then walked across two soccer fields and back to my car. Unfortunately, I locked myself out with my keys still on the front seat!

But then, tah-dah! A knightin-shining-armor, in the name of Enrique Lebron, who

was sitting in his car nearby, observed my dilemma. Mr. Lebron offered me the use of his cell phone to call AAA, and I was so grateful. (Over the past year or so, I had noticed the young man on the field as he practiced soccer with a friend.)

As I tried to console Jerry, Mr. Lebron immediately retrieved a basketball from the back of his car and offered to engage Jerry in play. Jerry was delighted, and quickly forgot his frustration.

As I awaited the truck to come to unlock my car (which took about half an hour), the two played happily as we chatted. Mr. Lebron mentioned that he had worked briefly with special needs children, that he was a graduate of Matanzas High School a few years ago, and is now a college student.

What was remarkable to me was his compassionate personality and athleticism. I believe he has a bright future ahead!

Of course, I thanked Enrique Lebron profusely, and the wonderful truck rescue guy, too.

But, both Jerry and I especially appreciated the time and help from this Good Samaritan.

Two people were killed in a T-bone crash on westbound Palm Coast Parkway the evening of Jan. 16 after a pickup truck ran a red light and crashed into a sedan, killing the sedan’s driver and passenger.

The sedan’s driver was 55-yearold Palm Coast resident Terri Lynn Wickel, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release. The passenger who was killed was Margaret Wickel, a Matanzas High School student.

The crash happened at Palm Coast Parkway’s intersection with Pine Cone Drive/Lupi Court.

Palm Coast resident Tyler Lane Wilkinson, 25, was driving west on Palm Coast Parkway in a 2000 Chevy Silverado, according to the FHP news release. Terri Wickel was driving a 2016 Ford Fusion south on Lupi Court through the intersection when Wilkinson ran the red light and struck the Fusion.

The truck and the sedan both crashed into the ditch in front of a wooded area on the south side of Palm Coast Parkway across from the Watson Realty office and Tuffy

Tire and Auto Service.

Terri and Margaret Wickel both died at the scene of the crash.

Wilkinson — a felon with prior arrests for selling marijuana and parole violation, as well as citations for numerous traffic offenses including speeding and running a stop sign— had minor injuries and was able to walk out of the truck.

Charges are pending against Wilkinson, according to the FHP report.

A total of 25 city of Palm Coast firefighters were pinned with new ranks in a Jan. 12 ceremony.

The Palm Coast Fire Department celebrated promotions and new rank assignments for 25 firefighters during a Pinning Ceremony Jan. 12. The firefighters being honored were “pinned” by family members and fellow firefighters at the ceremony at Palm Coast City Hall.

The large pinning ceremony was the result of a restructuring of the Fire Department’s rank system. Two new ranks were added: battalion chief (which is below deputy chief and above lieutenant) and driver-engineer (which is below lieutenant and above firefighter). The Palm Coast Fire Department has 57 career personnel, plus 45 volunteer members.

The department’s three existing captains were automatically changed to the new rank of bat-

talion chief. That created three openings for captain, which in turn created three openings for lieutenant. In addition, 15 firefighters were promoted to the new rank of driver-engineer.

“It’s been a long, long, long journey for many, but this is the culmination and the payoff of those years of sacrifice and the training and the testing,” said Palm Coast Fire Chief Mike Beadle.

Each of the firefighters promoted will receive a 5-percent raise with their new responsibilities.

The rank changes and promotions are as follows: Battalion Chiefs: Ronald Petrillo, Mark Valentik, Sean Major Captains: Kyle Berryhill, Gary Potter, Thomas Ascone Lieutenants: Dan Driscoll, John Kozloski, Joseph Paci Driver Engineers: Jeffrey Poeira, Mike Chandley, Daniel Hackney, Mark Davidson, Leo

Chumaceiro, Adam Bachman, Christopher Cottle, Omar Kanaan, Robert Ballou, Daniel Bouillon, Eric Robinson, Colin Craig, Jeff Nunziato, Nikolay Kulev, David Faust, Andrew Woolwine.

Epic Theatres evacuated after gun scare Hundreds of people fled Epic Theatres the night of Friday, Jan. 13 when a fight broke out between young men and someone yelled “Gun!” Two Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies were already at the cinema to remove a trespasser when staff at about 10:37 p.m. told them there was a “disturbance” in theater eight, which held about 300 people.

A theater shift manager asked the deputies to calm down the crowd. The deputies called for

backup, and, as they waited, an employee told them she’d overheard someone in theater eight talking about shooting someone named Tyler.

People started running out of theater eight, and the deputies went there and found that there had been a fight at the front of the theater.

“Someone had started yelling about a gun, which caused everyone to panic,” one of the deputies wrote in a case report.

Another deputy arrived, and the three entered theater eight and found chaos.

“People (majority juveniles) were out of their seats and running out of the emergency exit as well as the main exit,” the deputy wrote in the report.

The deputies didn’t see an actual fight, but adults at the theater told deputies there had been fight at the front of the theater involving “numerous juvenile males.”

One man “stated that he ob-

served a juvenile male walk from the area of the front row to the emergency exit ... then opened and then slammed shut the emergency exit door,” according to the deputy’s report.

Then, the man told deputies, the young people up front yelled, “Gun! Gun!,” prompting other moviegoers to flee.

The witnesses did not see a firearm or hear a gunshot, and the deputies didn’t smell gunpowder or find a gun or casing.

No one reported any injuries.

Epic staff told the deputies that they were stopping the movie, evacuating the theater and sending everyone home, and that they did not want anyone from theater eight remaining on the property.

The deputies, with the help of police officers from the Flagler Beach police Department and the Bunnell Police department, helped escort out about 400 moviegoers.

School Board considers changing elementary school OUR 2017 LINE-UP HAS SOMETHING FOR attendance zones The district hopes to relieve overcrowding at two schools and EVERYONE! make space for rising enrollment.

Gift Certificates Available!!!

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Friday, February 3rd 7:30PM

Old Kings Elementary School is overcrowded. It has 108 more students than it’s supposed to. So is Belle Terre Elementary School, which is 42 students over capacity.

Meanwhile, the district’s other three public elementary schools are under capacity — in the case of Rymfire Elementary School, by 593 students. District officials might switch things around in an attendance rezoning, so that students who are now slated to go to those overcrowded schools would go to the ones that have more space instead.

Instead of sending all children who live east of Interstate 95 to Old Kings as is currently the case, school district consultant Mike Judd said at a School Board workshop Jan. 17, some of the children from the Hammock and from Palm Coast’s F-Section and C-Section could go to Wadsworth Elementary.

Some students from parts of the B-Section and the area around Boulder Rock Drive who would have been slated to attend Belle Terre Elementary could be redirected to Wadsworth Elementary School.

And the district might also build a new elementary school.

“This would take a significant amount of students out of Old Kings, and would actually significantly shorten their bus times,” School District Superintendent Jacob Oliva said at the Jan. 17

School Board workshop.

Judd said the proposed changes would shorten school bus commutes enough save the district about $100,000 a year in transportation costs.

Those major zoning changes, if the School Board approves them, won’t happen next year. The district would have to get the proposed owning changes approved at the federal level, ensuring that the changes don’t affect demographics in a way that would violate a 1974 desegregation order that the district is still under today. (The last time the district rezoned, in 2008, “almost any change we made was fine,” Judd said.)

But in the short term, the district may make one change to help the two overcrowded schools: It may bar students who aren’t zoned to attend those schools from going there under the district’s school choice program. That’s district policy already, but hasn’t been followed, district staff members said.

Free dental program protects local students’ teeth Also: A new program could enable teachers to get reasonable loans in times of emergency.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A dental sealant program offered for the first time this year at Bunnell Elementary has already sealed the teeth of 120 children since September.

“If we can get sealant on those molars, then it means those teeth are probably going to be there for a lifetime,” certified dental hygienist Jenny Brady said in a video produced by the school district about the program.

The program, a partnership between the Flagler County School District and the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, provides the service to children free of charge.

“This has just been wonderful collaboration between the Health Department and the school district,” Flagler County Health Department Administrator Bob Snyder said at a Jan. 17 School Board meeting. “Dental sealant is probably one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent tooth decay.”

The program has a permanent clinic space at Bunnell Elementary, with Brady providing the service.

It is open once a week and preparing to go bi-weekly, and is looking to expand by adding a permanent space at Rymfire Elementary.

“The model of full-service community schools — this is it,” School Board member Colleen Conklin said.

SCHOOL DISTRICT CONSIDERS EMERGENCY LOAN PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES

Payday lenders charge extreme interest rates — one company, Amscot Cash Advance, lists APRs ranging from 265.93% to 312.86% — but they’re often the only option for people who have an emergency and don’t have the credit score to get a less costly conventional loan.

The company BMG Money fills that gap by offering its LoansAtWork emergency loan program to people with low credit who repay through automatic payroll deductions.

At a Jan. 17 School Board workshop, a BMG Money representative made a case for bringing the LoansAtWork program to the Flagler County School District.

“In Florida there are more payday loan stores than McDonalds or Starbucks: They’re everywhere,” said BMG Money Chief Growth Officer Tom McCormick.

Payday lender find customers, he said, because so many people find themselves unable to get credit after a crisis destroys their credit score. “Nowadays, if you’re not in the club, you’re out of the club, and that’s why folks pay $265% interest,” he said.

The LoansAtWork program offers financial literacy training to everyone seeking a loan through the program, and advises them to

“What we just did on him today, in a private practice would have been probably about $350,” certified dental hygienist Jenny Brady said in a video produced by Flagler Schools about the free dental sealant program.

first try to secure a loan through a bank or credit union, he said.

If they’re not able to get a loan through those more affordable options, they can get a LoansAtWork loan of up to $5,000, depending on their income and the length of the loan.

LoansAtWork loans carry a fixed 23.99% APR and are paid through payroll deduction.

LoansAtWork reports those payments to credit bureaus every month, which helps clients rebuild their credit score, McCormick said. They can only take out one loan at a time, and only one loan per household.

School District Superintendent Jacob Oliva said at the workshop that emergencies like Hurricane Matthew — which forced many locals to pay money to stay in a hotel or to replace everything that was in their fridge after they lost power for days — are the kinds of circumstances that can cause people to need emergency loans.

The proposed Loans At Work program would not cost the district any money, McCormick said, and LoansAtWork already has 42 public sector clients in Florida, including five school districts.

From the helped to the helper

Kaitlyn Smith and nine others have successfully completed Flagler County’s Drug Court program.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

Family friend Donald Brock, an Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputy at the courthouse, is shown with Cameron at the airport.

NINE-YEAR-OLD BOY WITH CANCER BECOMES HONORARY SHERIFF’S OFFICE DEPUTY Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly deputized a 9-year-old Palm Coast boy Jan. 11 during a special visit to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Staly performed a swearing-in “ceremony” and made Cameron Fulling an honorary deputy, and then took him and his mom, Melisa, on a tour of

the Sheriff’s Operations Center.

Cameron got to experience a firearms simulator, hold a SWAT team firearm, put on a SWAT team vest and climb up into an armored FCSO SWAT team vehicle. The tour was led by close family friend Donald Brock, an Sheriff’s Office courthouse deputy. “He’s been through a lot.

He’s a good kid,” Brock said.

Cameron and his family have spent the last six years — since just before he turned 4 — battling Cameron’s brain cancer. Cameron had brain surgery in March 2010 to have the first tumor removed. Since then, the cancer has continued to reoccur. He has undergone multiple surgeries as well as chemotherapy and more than 50 radiation treatments.

Just days earlier, Cameron’s family learned he has developed yet another tumor that is penetrating his brain. His doctors are trying to find options and his family says he is fighting for his life.

“It is very tragic for any child to have to battle with this horrible disease,” Staly said. “Cameron is a real fighter, and today I am proud to make him a part of my crimefighting team.”

To help, visit gofundme.com/ cameronfulling.

The officer didn’t recognize the woman whom he’d chauffeured to the police station three years ago.

Kaitlyn Smith — now an employee at the Family Life Center — recently reintroduced to herself to that officer, and thanked him for arresting her.

“He told me he had never once been thanked from someone he’s arrested,” Smith said, laughing.

“And I never once in a million years thought I would tell a police offer, ‘Thank you for putting me in handcuffs and arresting me.’

But three years later, looking back on everything, he saved my life.”

Smith’s life took a turn for the worse when she got into a car accident during the same time her then- 2-year-old son, Kaeden, was going through openheart surgery. She was prescribed pain killers, and quickly became addicted.

“I started taking them to suppress my anguish from all that was happening in my life as a single mom,” Smith said. “I needed some deep intervention at that time.”

Smith’s intervention came, but not as her family and friends planned it. She was arrested on drug possession charges, and was sent to jail. While incarcerated, Smith was offered Drug Court.

She accepted, believing the program would be better than life behind bars.

Smith was first administered to

Project WARM in Bunnell, where she gave birth to her daughter, Elaine. While there, she also put a stop to her drug habit on Jan. 13, 2014, two years from the exact date of her recent Drug Court graduation.

When Smith began Drug Court, she had lost her home, car and nearly her child to the Department of Children and Families.

Now, she has a job that she loves, a fully-furnished home, a car (which recently caught on fire), three healthy kids (her youngest, D.J., is 14 months old) and a fiancé, Daquan Mickens.

“I personally believe if I had not gotten arrested and gone to Drug would dead right now,” PalmCourt, CoastIObserver Smith said. “Now, I mentor and 5-inches wideother x 4-inches sponsor women. I help other people. I give back what was so freely given to me, and that’s how I stay clean.”

Kaeden and Kaitlyn Smith were thrilled that Kaeden survived his third open-heart surgery three years ago.

Palm Coast approves $7,830,036 for community center Councilman Steve Nobile questioned the cost of the expansion project but ultimately voted for it.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

City Councilman Steven Nobile, and some members of the public who spoke at the council meeting, were concerned: $8 million seemed like a lot of money to renovate and expand the city’s old community center.

“I’m torn on this project, because on the one hand this is a very important project for this community: We need this community center,” Nobile said during the Jan. 17 council meeting. “But

on the other hand, I’m looking at these costs, and I’m sitting back and I’m thinking, ‘Jeez.’”

He noted that early projections for the project were about half of the current projected total project cost of $7,997,500.

“I’m a little concerned that we’re spending a little more than we need to to get this project off the ground,” Nobile continued.

He turned to city project manager Carl Cote and asked him to justify the price tag. “Just make me feel a little fuzzy that this is what it’s going to cost, and we’re not get-

ting gold-plated sinks,” Nobile said.

The answer came from Lon Neuman, the director of operations for Ajax Building Corp., the firm the city has chosen to do the

work. “I feel there’s no gold plating at all, but at the same time, it’s not a square box,” Neuman said.

“This is a very competitive cost for this type of building, and I think this type of building is something

we’re going to be proud of.”

The City Council voted unanimously to approve the proposed guaranteed maximum price of $7,830,036 for the project’s construction phase after City Manager Jim Landon explained that the project the city would be voting on would be a much more extensive one than the less costly renovation project that the city had considered in 2013.

When the city was considering project costs of about $4 million, he explained, the proposed project consisted of adding a single room to the 1975 community center at the intersection of Palm Coast Parkway and Clubhouse Drive.

But community groups kept requesting more space to meet, and the city realized that much of the community center building didn’t meet Americans With Disabilities Act standards.

Palm Coast Mayor Milissa Holland had said in a workshop a week before that increasing costs for materials and labor have also pushed up the project’s cost.

The current expansion plan will make the community center about three times its current size. It will total 21,232 square feet, with three large “function rooms” (including the former City Council chambers), plus two smaller rooms.

Outside, there will be additional parking, a full-size basketball court, a play area, bike racks, a pond, a patio and a trailhead with restrooms. Many of the trees surrounding the center will remain.

Community groups that use the center have to be out by Jan. 31, and construction is slated to begin in February. The center is expected to be ready for use in March 2018.

Rescheduling or relocating all of the community activities that will be displaced from the community center, Landon said in response to questions from audience members, “is trying to put 10 pounds of flour in a 5-pound bag. So it’s a challenge, but we’re doing our best.”

Rates to use the center are not expected to change, Landon said after Councilwoman Heidi Shipley asked if community groups would have to pay more after construction. The city is paying cash for the building, so it doesn’t need to create revenue to pay off construction costs, he said.

The construction contract with Ajax Building is an at-risk contract: Any cost overruns will become Ajax’s responsibility, and any savings will be divided between the city and Ajax, with the city receiving 80% and the builder receiving 20%.

The construction phase of the project includes two dozen bid packages for services like concrete and electrical installation, and seven of those will go to contractors from Flagler County or Volusia County. Those seven bid packages total more that half of the construction cost.

SPORTS Bulldogs go undefeated to easily win Flagler Duals The Bulldogs continue to own their dual meets.

Matanzas girls win second straight district title

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

T

he Flagler Bulldogs (120) dominated the Flagler Duals, going a perfect 10-0 to capture the firstplace title this past weekend, Jan. 14-15, at FPC. The Bulldogs beat Bishop Kenny 61-9, Oakleaf 68-6, Sandalwood 58-16, New Smyrna Beach 64-12, Allen Nease 66-18, Seabreeze 75-6, Orlando Jones 81-0, Fletcher 63-12, Palatka 63-6 and Treasure Coast 69-12.

“Our team is doing well,” coach Tom Bartolotta said. “We are undefeated in dual meets this year, and we look to capture a district and regional title and contend for a Top 3 finish in the state tournament. Michael DeAugustino and Avery Holder are frontrunners to win a state championship; they look real tough.”

DeAugustino and Holder went 10-0 in their matches, along with Steve Canidate and Damion Figouera. Michael Martins (9-0), Vincent Ebanks, Curtis Brock and Tyler Irigoyen (8-0) also went undefeated.

Christian Sheppard and Tyrone Jones went 9-1, and Devonte Williams went 7-1.

The Bulldogs next face Clay Thursday, Jan. 19, at Clay.

SAVE THE LAST MATCH Crosstown rivals FPC and Matanzas didn’t compete against each other, but they will go head to head at 6:30 (JV) and 7 p.m. (varsity) Wednesday, Feb. 8, at Matanzas.

DUAL JUGGERNAUTS? The Bulldogs have gone 83-4 in dual meets, since Bartolotta became head coach.

Vincent Ebanks handed Josh McCallum from Bishop Kenney just his second loss of the season.

everal months ago, 67 girls sought to become a part of the Matanzas girls weightlifting team, and now many of them are district champions.

Of the 20 Lady Pirates who competed in districts, 19 lifters (one shy of last year) placed in the Top 6 and are moving on to the regional meet. Four won individual championships. Six placed runner-up, and two took third.

Sophomore Chiara Longo won the individual district championship for the unlimited division, and freshman Mary Leonard took runner-up behind her. Both are brand new to the sport.

Lorien Givens, a new team lifter, won the 101-pound division. Veteran team lifters Danielle Thompson (110) and (Kaylee Mandt) also won individual titles.

Freshman Julianna Smith has placed runner-up in the both conference and district meets.

At the beginning of the season, she maxed out the clean and jerk at 65 pounds. Since then, she’s doubled that weight with a personal best 130 pounds.

Coach Sara Novak’s girls have completely bought into her program. She doesn’t have to use the whistle system with them, micro-managing their practices.

She simply lays out the workout plan, and her lifters respond.

“We go every day,” Novak said. “When I try to give them optional days, they look at me as if I have two heads.”

Many of them have purchased gym memberships, and some have even built home gyms in their garages. For a coach, this is the greatest form of a compliment — when athletes choose to work on their craft outside of the allotted practice time.

It takes both the coach and the athletes to create this kind of winning culture.

Damion Figouera outscores his Jones High School opponent.

INSIDE Brandon Seminara, assistant director of the Flagler County Youth Center, was named 2017 Employee of the Year.

he buzz outside the Flagler Auditorium before the 2017 Teacher and Employee of the Year award ceremony was, “How are they going to top last year’s event?”

The 2016 event featured Superintendent Jacob Oliva dressed as “Super Teacher,” flying across the stage, and 2015 Employee of the Year Brun Hudson made his entrance on roller skates.

As the curtains parted, the crowd erupted in cheers. In shadow, on stage, Oliva, Matanzas Principal Earl Johnson, and Matanzas Assistant Principal Ken Seybold, dressed in tuxedos, silver sequined hats, and carrying canes, were posed in chairs and surrounded by the FPC dance team.

The dancers all kicked up their heels to “Putting on the Ritz,” an appropriate song for the night’s theme, “A Touch of Class.”

Oliva credited the FPC dancers with helping the three men with the dance routine on little notice.

“We like to kick it up a notch,” Oliva said. “We sprang the idea on the FPC dance team two days ago.”

The nominees continued the high beat as they and their school escorts waltzed, cha-chaed, and boogied down the aisle when their names were called. Cheering them on were sections of supporters with balloons, banners and pom-poms. An “I love you mom” sign was raised high as Rymfire Elementary’s Charlotte Bradley approached the stage.

“She makes everything fun, but she still teaches you the things you need to be taught,” Chloe said about Kinsman.

DeAndre Harris, the 2016 Employee of the Year, introduced each Employee of the Year in his traditional energetic style, admitting he wasn’t quite ready to give up the title.

Kimberly Weeks, last year’s Teacher of the Year for the county, told about a former student who had succeeded against all odds and returned to tell Weeks about the difference her class made in her life.

Week’s advice to the teachers in the room was, “Hold onto your stories and keep changing lives.”

The Flagler Employee of the Year is Brandon Seminara From kindergarten to the Flagler Youth Center, Employee of the Year Brandon Seminara has loved being in Flagler schools.

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Brandon Seminara said he was shocked as his name was announced as the Flagler County Employee of the Year at the Flagler Auditorium on Jan. 12.

“I was sitting next to Cheryl (Massaro, director of the Flagler County Youth Center and the person who nominated him), and my family was sitting in the row,” Seminara said. “So I had that row cheering, and then I heard some of FPC’s people get up and cheer too.”

Seminara was hired as the assistant director of the Flagler County Youth Center in 2013, but his first job at the center was a camp counselor, from his high school sophomore year through the year following his graduation.

Massaro first met her future assistant when he was an eighthgrader in summer camp, a place he wasn’t sure he wanted to be.

“His mother called and asked if I could create something so he would want to go to summer camp,” Massaro said. “So we created counselors in training.”

As an FPC student, he became more involved. “When I was a student, I was involved in the youth center. I was on the Student Advisory Council, and I was the chair of that group a couple of

years,” Seminara said.

Seminara has never strayed far from Flagler Schools. He started at Wadsworth as a kindergartner, followed by Buddy Taylor Middle School, and finally, Flagler Palm Coast High School.

“The plan was, after I graduated, I would try to come back to the school in some fashion to work,” Seminara said. “I ended up working with the district’s technology team for about a year when the job at the youth center came up.”

To keep summer camp costs down, Seminara obtained his CDL, commercial driver’s license, so that he could drive the school bus on camp trips.

“He realized the biggest cost for summer camp was the buses,” Massaro said. “We have to pay not only for the buses, but for the drivers, so he told me, ‘I’m going to get my CDL license so I can drive the buses on the field trips.’ He took that upon himself. That’s the biggest thing about Brandon: he is always willing to help people.”

The county award isn’t the only accomplishment Seminara was celebrating. The morning after the awards ceremony, he was hanging something special on the wall of his office.

“I just got my diploma in the mail yesterday,” he said. “I graduated from Daytona State on Dec. 16 with my degree in computer

Jacque Estes

information.”

Seminara admits that he may spend more time on the FPC campus now than he did when he was a student.

“I spend a lot of time on this campus, between my hours working here and I also attend a lot of their games,” he said. “I also run the high school social media and news center.”

Massaro said Seminara is always helping out, whether it’s setting the bells at FPC or assisting teachers, even when the tasks are not his duties.

When Brandon Seminara arrived at the Flagler County Youth Center on Friday, Jan. 13, he found it plastered with notices about his win.

OKES Teacher of the Year is Kalena Davis Kinsman Classwork, and even homework, is more engaging with the technology used in this fourth-grade class.

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Kalena Kinsman received two new “titles” in October. She was named Teacher of the Year for Old Kings Elementary, and she got married to Shawn Kinsman.

“We were married on Oct. 23 in Orlando, right in the middle of all of the Teacher of the Year stuff,” Kalena Kinsman said.

Kinsman is a fourth-grade teacher, and her students can often be seen sitting outside the classroom on their iPads recording themselves reading. It’s not a lesson in vanity, but a lesson in self-reflection, and something Kinsman sees as a life skill.

Each day her students take papers, according to their learning level, and go outside to read it. They read the same thing every day for five days.

“They compare their Monday recording to Fridays, and rate themselves on accuracy, their reading rate and vocal expression,” she said. “Did they read too fast or too slow, did they sound like a robot, or pause when they came to a comma? Practicing reading fluency is a skill, but to me this is a little bit more than just a skill. For them to be able to sit and reflect on this video every single day, and for them to be able to listen to something that is themselves, and to be able to critique themselves, and to see the improvement ... is a life skill

Kalena Kinsman

to me.”

Nothing is traditional about Kinsman’s class. The desks are all on wheels, and students are selfmotivated, working on different projects on their iPads at their own pace. There’s a lot of responsibility for 9- to 10-year-olds.

“I always wanted to be a teacher,” Kinsman said. “My best friend Hannah and I would fight over who would get to read the book to our baby dolls and Barbies — who got to be the teacher.”

She shares her passion with her students, replacing outdated learning methods with new technology.

“I love to learn. I absolutely love to learn, and I love watching the students grow,” she said. “I am really attracted to educational technology, and I love seeing kids make their lives easier with technology.”

Book reports are done online.

Kinsman has her students participate in online discussion, instead

of a reading log, every night for homework.

“They collaborate together on what they have read, and talk about their books with each other, and post videos about what they read that night,” Kinsman said.

“Some kids who might have been resistant about typing about their books, and writing about what they are reading, are now actually recording videos, and I know that they are reading every night.”

Kinsman is a graduate of the University of Central Florida, where she earned her bachelor’s

degree in exceptional student education, and her masters in reading. She has been teaching for five years, all at Old Kings Elementary, and is now the lead teacher for the fourth grade.

“We share resources and use Schoology,” she said. “We have the opportunity as teachers to share these resources. Each teacher can take and tweak it, and use the same things in their own classrooms.”

Charlotte Bradley is Rymfire Elementary’s Teacher of the Year Having fun is all part of learning in this thirdgrade class.

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

The idea of becoming a teacher manifested itself in Charlotte Bradley’s mind when she was working in the Flagler Schools accounting department.

“I really liked my job, and it paid

more, but I thought, ‘Wow, do I really want to be doing this five or 10 years from now?’”

The answer she came up with was “no.” She went back to school to become a teacher and never looked back.

“I have been teaching in Flagler County for 17 years now,” Bradley

said. “I started at Indian Trails when it was K to 8, and then I went to Belle Terre (elementary). When Mrs. (Paula) St. Francis went to Rymfire, I was one of those that went with her.”

When it came time to do her internship, she was in Barbara Sauvelpahkick’s third-grade class. Now she has her own thirdgrade class, and Sauvelpahkick is the principal at Rymfire.

“I learned from a master teacher who was teaching the third grade,” Bradley said.

Step into her class and you are likely to see the students immersed in a technical project.

“At Halloween, they created a bat magazine in Google Drive, using a template,” Bradley said.

“It was an interactive magazine.”

Even when the students were taking required quarterly tests in December, Bradley found a way to add variety and fun.

“They made ornaments and an online tree for their families this year,” Bradley said. “They are still kids and need to have fun. I am planning to print them out for

them to take home to their parents.”

She brags on her kids and their accomplishments, like her class last year who all passed the thirdgrade FSA reading test.

Last year her STEM (science, technology, English and math) students designed their own roller coaster.

“They used Google Hangout to talk to a University of Florida engineering student, and then spoke to an actual engineer about their plans. They were able to ask him questions before they started designing it.”

Some of the students attended the STEM competition at UF and met the student they had been online with.

“My kids were so prepared,” Bradley said proudly. “They explained their project so well that I had other teachers coming up to me to comment. They explained it better than some of the high school kids.”

Being involved with the parents is an important aspect of her teaching. Parents often contact her by text with class and homework questions.

Bradley said one of the things she enjoys most is when students from previous years recognize her in a store, or come back to see her.

“Even those who have graduated from high school and are in college, will come back to see me,” Bradley said. “I just love that.”
