Love in an unlikely place In Drug Court, they found their dignity — and each other RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

L

ester Westfall first felt the need to escape when he was 11 years old. It started with marijuana, and as he got older, the substances he abused grew stronger.

When the pot no longer sufficed, he drank. When he struggled to get out of bed in the morning, he’d snort cocaine. When he no longer wanted to be high on cocaine, he’d take opiate pills — and then go back to cocaine. And when the intense high from cocaine finally subsided, he went to methamphetamines.

The cravings consumed him.

His next high was all he could think about.

“I’m a pretty strong fella,” Lester said, “but I never thought in a million years that something could take control of my mind like that.”

Lester moved to Flagler County from Warren, Ohio, in 1998.

He met a woman and had several children with her. But things fell through: He couldn’t hold a job and his addictions did not subside, so the couple separated.

But he soon met another woman.

He liked her a lot. Things were starting to look up. He even had plans to join the Army, to make something of himself.

But his girlfriend was struck by a car and killed in 2007.

The demons returned.

“It just got to the point where everything in my life was just drugs,” Lester said. “When I woke up until I went to bed, that was all I thought about. I didn’t care about anybody else. I didn’t care about my children. I didn’t care what people thought of me. I didn’t care about anything.”

For the next few years, he went couch to couch, crashing with friends whether they wanted him there or not. When he ran out of friends, he’d sleep outside under a tarp.

On one night 2 1/2 years ago, he was sitting on the edge of a bed with the mother of his children in the home of a friend.

Lester was tired. He couldn’t do this anymore, so he prayed.

“I didn’t want to be high anymore,” he said. “I didn’t like who I was, so I asked God to get me out of this situation.”

Still high, he ran out of the house and into the woods. He trespassed on neighboring properties and sprinted through people’s yards.

He found a boat with a cooler full of water bottles. He wanted a drink.

According to an arrest report, he stole three bottles of water, a rope, cigarettes and a lighter.

He was arrested, spent 30 days in jail, was released and was put on probation.

He continued to abuse drugs and alcohol.

“I thought I could be above it all.

I thought I could work the system and not get caught,” he said. “I guess I wasn’t quite ready then.”

Then came April 28, 2017: Once again, he was staying at a friend’s house. He had violated his probation, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Law enforcement arrived around 4 p.m.

He tried to run, but was caught.

When he stood before the judge at the Flagler County courthouse, he vowed to himself, and to God, that he was going to change.

“That’s when I admitted I had a problem, and I needed help,” he said. “It was the final nail before they closed up my coffin.”

He was in jail until Aug. 30, 2017.

Then, he started drug court. * * *

Elizabeth Westfall, formerly Elizabeth Jones, had lived in Palm Coast most of her life. She was born there, but went back and forth between Palm Coast and Annapolis, Maryland, to be with her father.

She enrolled at Flagler Palm Coast High School her sophomore year. She played softball for the Bulldogs. She was supposed to graduate in 2005.

Elizabeth used to move around a lot with her three children. The drinking started about three years ago. At first, it was only at night.

But after tearing a hamstring in an adult league softball game on May 25, 2016, she was confined to her home. She didn’t have anything else to do, so she drank all day — every day.

Bacardi was her liquor of choice.

Her 12-year-old daughter, Danielle, used to find her mom’s hidden bottles, empty them and add water.

Elizabeth knew she had a problem. She had a hard time caring.

For a brief moment, she felt like putting a gun to her head to end it all.

Everything fell apart on July 12, 2017: There was an argument between her and her boyfriend.

Deputies were called. She said he hit her first. Deputies conducted an investigation and determined that she’d hit him first and had put her child in danger. And she went to jail.

She was charged with child abuse and domestic battery.

She lost her home and her children.

Elizabeth had never heard about drug court. Her lawyer signed her up. It was her chance to turn her life around. She entered the program shortly after Lester did.

“All I knew was that I had a problem,” she said, “and I had no idea how to fix it.” * * *

The first few months of drug court were often painful for Lester and Elizabeth.

The urges were still very real.

They boiled underneath their court-mandated sobriety.

The urges were so strong they even infiltrated their dreams. Lester would dream of using drugs.

Elizabeth would dream she was drinking. The dreams were vivid.

Waking up in cold sweats.

How were they going to make it?

“At first I thought it was impossible,” Lester said. “But I had a strong support system and mentors who kept pushing me forward.”

THE PROGRAM The Flagler County Drug Court is a rigorous program.

Its participants endure the program’s five phases. Phase IV is the longest, spanning about five months.

What’s required of a participant changes with each phase.

In Phase I, activities are nearly every day each week.

On Monday, you attend an Alcholics Anonymous meeting and work. If you don’t have a job, you have to prove that you’re searching for one.

On Tuesday, you meet with drug court officials to gauge where you are in the program: how you’re doing, what you’re doing and what you need to fix. Wednesdays are more meetings. Thursdays are spent with your support group. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are mostly open days, with the exception of a few meetings.

Every morning, you call in to see what’s on your schedule for the day. In addition, participants have to go to Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Healthcare to take a urinalysis test. You have to be at the facility before 8 a.m.

If you miss it, you could go to jail.

Lester used to set his alarm for 4:30 a.m.

* * *

The first time Elizabeth saw Lester, he was on his way to jail. He had drunk a beer, which violated drug court’s rules. He was just three weeks into the program.

But they soon crossed paths again on the softball fields at the Flagler County Fairgrounds in Bunnell. The grew close the first time they hung out.

They bonded over their love of sports. Lester grew up playing baseball in Ohio, and Elizabeth had been playing softball since she was 8. They also bonded over their children. But most of all, they bonded over their new-found passion for God. They both agreed that he should be at the center of their relationship.

“Once we had that conversation, we were ready to do this,” Lester said.

They began a relationship in December 2017.

On Feb. 9, the day before Elizabeth’s birthday, Lester asked her for her hand in marriage. He had bought the ring two weeks prior.

Lester Westfall shakes hands with Judge Terence Perkins at the drug court graduation ceremony.

Growing up, Elizabeth never imagined she would get married.

“It didn’t seem real,” she said.

“It used to be about me and my way or the highway.”

In addition to getting engaged, Elizabeth had just gotten her children back, and the Department of Children and Families found out about her relationship with Lester. Because they were not married yet, DCF threatened to take Elizabeth’s children away again.

So, sooner than they had planned, they got married on Aug. 9 and kept the children at home.

They followed the legal ceremony with another of their own. On the morning of Aug. 25, they were married on the softball field at the Flagler County Fairgrounds. In the afternoon, they hosted a charity softball tournament. * * *

Michael Feldbauer has been involved with the Flagler County Drug Court for more than five years and has worked with the Drug Court Foundation for almost two years. The foundation has helped its participants earn their GEDs and driver’s licenses, pay bills, start businesses and more.

“Everything we do is to help them move forward,” Feldbauer said.

He’s known the Westfalls since they first started with the program. They weren’t close in the beginning, but they became like family.

However, he opposed them dating at first. Too many times, he’d seen drug court participants in their position not make it.

“In this case, it’s good because we’re seeing success,” he said.

“But sometimes you get really close to people, and you don’t see

that success. That hurts.”

Recovering from addiction requires complete focus, leaving little room for potential distractions.

“They beat the odds,” he said.

“I believe that they decided to put God at the center is why it worked.” * * *

Before Lester set foot in Courtroom 401 of the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center for the Flagler County Drug Court Team’s 33rd drug court commencement ceremony, he looked in the mirror.

Two years ago, he would have seen someone who disgusted him.

“I was somebody I could be proud of now,” he said. “I could be respected for once.”

Lester and Elizabeth both graduated from drug court, and now they’re leaders in the program’s alumni association. They organized a charity softball game, Bat for a Cause, which raised a little over $1,000. And they show up to meetings every Thursday, even though they don’t have to, to share their testimonies with the program’s current participants.

“I think it’s very important to help people and give back in order to maintain our own sobriety,” Elizabeth said. * * *

Lester and Elizabeth entered drug court at the lowest points of their lives. They had lost their health, their freedom, their family.

They didn’t enter drug court thinking they were even worthy of love — let alone expecting to find it.

But they did.

“God has had his hands in our lives these past couple of years,” Lester said.

Plan for 233 new multifamily units in Town Center gets initial approval A total of 83 of the units will be age restricted.

A total of 233 new multifamily units will be constructed in Town Center next to Epic Theatres. Of those, 83 will be age restricted.

Some will be workforce housing.

“We know, anecdotally, that there’s a tremendous need for those opportunities within Palm Coast,” Ida Meehan, a senior planner with the city, told the City Council at its meeting Feb. 5 before the council voted unanimously to approve a master site plan for the development.

City Councilman Jack Howell said he wanted to make it clear to the public that “affordable housing” and “workforce housing” do not refer to HUD programs like Section 8.

“Workforce housing is for the new police officer, the new fireman, the young professional who’s getting their start,” he said.

Interim City Manager Beau Falgout told the City Council during the meeting that the property is already zoned for multifamily residential use.

Proposed apartment complexes have drawn opposition from nearby residents in the past. But this one, which has no single family homes nearby, drew no opposing speakers at the meeting.

Developer Atlantic Housing Partners also built the Brookhav-

en community and Palm Coast Landings.

The Town Center development will be placed on a 27-acre site, but only nine of those acres will be used for construction, according to city staff members. The rest is conservation land.

The apartment complex will include a clubhouse and a dog park, Meehan said.

Although the development has various sections, “It’s presented as one integrated development,” Meehan said. “It has maintained an overall architectural theme.”

The location is “where the DRI and the master planned development encourages the most intense development within Town Center,” Meehan said.

Entrances and exits to the new development, she said, will be through two existing driveways on Central Avenue.

Howell asked if the development, which will include a fourstory buildings, will have elevators, and whether it will have on-site maintenance staff.

Marc Gauthier, representing Atlantic Housing, said that it will.

“The big thing is the maintenance of these facilities, so that they don’t get run down,” Howell said. “You’re right on the target; I’m glad to hear that.”

Atlantic Housing Partners’ Scott Culp said the development will include some homes reserved for tenants making less

“This really will kickstart our downtown.

I think it will add a lot of value, and I think it will incentivize further growth.”

MILISSA HOLLAND, Palm Coast mayor

The Palm Coast City Council voted unanimously at its regular Feb. 5 meeting to approve the annexation of approximately 92 acres of land straddling Colbert Lane near the former Sea Ray plant.

The land, which has been under Flagler County’s jurisdiction and is located 1.3 miles north of State Road 100 on the site of the former Lehigh Cement plant, is the site of a planned development called Lighthouse Harbor, by developer Jim Cullis.

More than 60% of the property’s boundaries are contiguous to the city’s boundary.

The tall chimney stack from the cement plant will be reworked to resemble a lighthouse.

The property has a navigable canal off of the Intracoastal, previously used by Sea Ray. Its entitlements include a 7.2-acre marina basin, 160,000 square feet of commercial/retail and 200 dry boat storage slips.

The development will include commercial and residential uses.

The old cement plant had opened in 1952 and closed in 1965.

ITT then bought the land, and it was parceled out, becoming part of Grand Haven, the Sea Ray boats property and Palm Coast Plantation.

Resident Mike Cocchiola said he was in favor of the new development.

“This is a good start; we need to keep going,” he said. “If we don’t have housing, we will not get companies to come to our city and invest in our city.”

The next step in the process will include approval of a development order and a technical site plan.

The Palm Coast City Council and Fire Chief Jerry Forte formally welcomed Deputy Fire Chief Bradd Clark at a special pinning ceremony at the Feb. 5 City Council meeting, according to a news release from the Palm Coast city government.

Six other newly promoted fire officers and firefighters also received new badges at the ceremony. They are: Battalion Chief Kyle Berryhill, Capt. Andrew Woolwine, Lt. Robert Ballou, Driver Engineer Michael LaGreca and Firefighters Katelyn Douglas and Joshua Meeker.

“Their commitment and dedication to persist in their personal and professional development have led them to be here this evening,” Forte told the council.

Palm Coast Fire developed a succession plan in anticipation of the retirement of several senior department members.

Forte was promoted to chief last September following the retirement of Chief Michael C. Beadle, setting the stage for Clark’s hiring as deputy fire chief and the promotions celebrated Feb. 5.

The succession plan includes a mentoring program to prepare personnel for future promotion.

The department also developed a volunteer internship program through which volunteer firefighters gain experience as they attend school to earn fire, EMT and paramedic certifications. Successful participants are offered career firefighting positions with the department as they become available. So far, nine interns have been hired as full-time career firefighters.

2018 NRA Law Enforcement Officer of the Year award, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

All finalists are being filmed for an episode of “American Heroes,” to air on NRA TV this spring.

Staly is a life member of the NRA and was selected as a finalist for saving the life of an Orange County deputy sheriff early in his career and for his leadership of FCSO and its positive impact in the community.

“It is an honor to be considered for such a prestigious award and represent the heroes in law enforcement serving America and those that have fallen in the line of duty,” Staly said in the release. “The entire process has been exciting, and it was great to meet an American hero! I’m grateful to be considered among the other exemplary law enforcement officers.”

Staly took North on patrol around Flagler County and then they joined other guests for dinner at the Palm Coast Carrabba’s.

NRA’s Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award was established in 1993 and recognizes an exceptional act or service by a law enforcement officer and is administered by the NRA Law Enforcement Division.

Q+ A BEAU FALGOUT, INTERIM CITY MANAGER OF PALM COAST

PALM COAST

Observer

How Falgout’s style would differ from Landon’s

“If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

FRIEDRICH HAYEK “Road to Serfdom,” 1944

T

welve years ago, Beau Falgout was hired as a planner by the city of Palm Coast, and, within a week, his director was fired. In September 2018, another boss, Jim Landon, was fired, and this time Falgout was appointed interim city manager to lead the staff. Now Falgout wants the job permanently, and his application received top marks from the City Council.

I met with Falgout on Feb. 1 to learn his approach to management. I also learned of his love of golf and especially of soccer (he was a referee for several years to help pay for college).

Q: You were a successful

referee for several years, and you even got to officiate a Major League Soccer game once. Do you see any connection between being a referee and being a city manager?

L ETTERS

A: I learned more about communication and dealing with people on a soccer field than I did in school, to be honest. You’re faced with competing sides, and there’s a lot of conflict. In a City Council setting, there are going to be multiple sides to an issue, and you’re not going to make everybody happy, but hopefully at the end of the day, everyone respects how you handled it.

Q: What are good things you learned from Jim Landon?

A: One thing I admire was how he was able to manage a pretty big recession and maintain a pretty positive organizational culture even though we had layoffs. His ability to communicate and focus on the future was impressive. Then, of course, the way he built a team environment, and that’s something I believe in as well.

Q: Do you see yourself as a

Landon protege? How would you be different?

A: It’s a pretty simple view of the world to think that if you work with someone you’re a clone

I support Falgout as next city manager Dear Editor: I urge the City Council to select Beau Falgout as our new city manager.

I hired Beau as a senior planner when I was the city’s long-range planning manager.

The city advertised for a senior planner with a masters degree in planning. Beau had recently earned a bachelors degree in business and was working on his master’s in planning.

I urged Human Resources to employ him and give him six months to complete his planning degree. He had the distinct advantage of having an understanding of planning issues as well as business and finance.

I envisioned Beau as a valuable asset to the city to help implement the city’s Comprehensive Plan and other plan-

of someone. I’m a completely different person. I’m 38 years old; I have a young family. Did I admire and pick up some leadership traits from Mr. Landon?

Of course, but I’m a different person, come from a different part of the country, have a whole

ning projects. I knew that Beau would be (and is) very dedicated to the city with the ability to successfully multitask.

Beau was assigned to update the Comp Plan’s capital improvement element. As part of his assignment to implement the plan, he worked with the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the Flagler County School District, the State Road 100 Tax Increment Financing Plan, and represented the city on the Flagler County Economic Development Council.

I retired as the city’s long-range planning manager several years ago and have watched his continuing advancement and dedication to the city. I encourage the City Council to select Beau Falgout to guide the city as it continues to implement Palm Coast’s goals, objectives and strategies to make it one of the most

livable, financially solvent and progressive cities in Florida.

Kudos to sheriff’s Office for our safety Dear Editor: My husband and I just wanted to say kudos to our Flagler County sheriff, Rick Staly, and his deputies for the recent apprehension of a dangerous criminal in our area and for getting him off our streets, as was reported in your article about the capture of Michael Moore, an “America’s Most Wanted” felon. No one can know what laws he may have continued to break in our neighborhoods or who may have been injured by this man.

Some might suggest the situation could have been han-

dled with less response, but we feel the sheriff did exactly what should have been done, with a heavy show of force and not letting this repeat offender get away.

We have been impressed with the entire Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the way they are cracking down on crime to keep our community as it should be, safe for walking trails, riding bikes, and living safely in our homes in Palm Coast. We love it here after just three years and hope our law enforcement people know we appreciate their continued hard work.

Deputies and rescue personnel responded to a residence at around 6:21 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, after a 75-year-old woman was reported dead.

The death appears to be a suicide.

A deputy reported that he saw the woman bent over on the side of the bed, face down.

A handgun was underneath her.

A man in the home agreed to answer deputies’ questions.

He said that the woman lost her job two weeks ago, and had received a phone call Monday night which made her upset.

She accused the man of not supporting her, then went into their bedroom, and the man heard a single gunshot. He then checked on her and called 911.

Sunday, March 3rd 7:30PM

Palm Coast resident Louis Stephen Mamakos, 85, died by suicide in his home on Boxwood Lane in Palm Coast Jan. 28.

Mamakos had been taken to AdventHealth Palm Coast under a Baker Act two weeks before.

He was released Jan. 18.

Deputies and paramedics arrived at the home Jan. 28 after a resident called the emergency dispatch center at 11:53 a.m. and said that Mamakos had shot himself and appeared to be dead.

Mamakos appeared to be breathing when deputies arrived, but died soon after, according to a deputy’s report.

An arriving deputy asked Mamakos’ wife and son if the firearms they gave the Sheriff’s Office for safekeeping when Mamakos had been Baker Acted had been returned.

They said no: There was another firearm in the house that they had not known he had.

“They stated that Louis was still suffering from extreme pain and doctors had still been unable to get his pain to a manageable/tolerable level,” a deputy wrote in an incident report. “[The family members] stated that they did not know that there were any other firearms in the home,” and that they “did not think that Louis would ever take this type of action.”

Mamakos’ wife and son had been watching television in the home when Mamakos shot himself, according to the report.

List of potential interim Q+A Beau Falgout managers down to four

BRIEFS School district employees to receive youth mental health first aid training

Michael Esposito already works for the county.

The other three also have leadership experience.

Complying with state mandates passed after the school shooting in Parkland, Flagler Schools will send eight staff members for youth mental health first aid training offered by the National Council for Behavioral Health.

Funding is being provided through state’s Multiagency Service Network for Students with Severe Emotional Disturbance (SEDNET).

“It’s meant to help faculty and staff identify students who are in need of mental health support,” John Fanelli, the district’s coordinator of student and behavior supports, told the School Board at its Feb. 5 workshop.

The Flagler Schools staff will be attending alongside a team of staff members from the Putnam County School District.

When they return, the staff members who attended the training session will train other school staff members, including the schools’ mental health counselors, social workers and school psychologists, Fanelli said.

Flagler County commissioners have cut a list of 24 applicants for the county’s interim county manager position down to four.

They are: Michael Esposito, who is currently the county’s special projects coordinator; Jerry Cameron, a consultant who was previously the assistant county manager for community services in St. Johns County; Glen Irby, the former city administrator of Apopka; and Ted Lakey, the former county administrator of Taylor County and Jackson County.

The commissioners arrived at the Feb. 4 County Commission workshop with shortlists: Each went through the applications and picked five to seven top choices. The commission decided only to shortlist candidates who got at least three votes.

No single candidate got five votes, but Irby and Lakey each got four, while Esposito and Cameron got three.

The commissioners didn’t discuss their choices before cutting the list down to four.

The county is performing background and media checks on the four shortlisted candidates, and commissioners will hold one-

I am definitely open to engaging people on a personal level.

I’m OK with conflict, as long as we can manage it and be respectful, and I’m really focused on the future of where this community is going, because I have a young family myself.

Part of the difference in my style is that I want to put the staff forward to answer questions because they are the experts in that area.

on-one interviews with the candidates Feb. 18. They are trying to fill the seat swiftly: Former county administrator Craig Coffey resigned effective Jan. 11, and both his deputy, Sally Sherman, and the county’s human resources director, Joe Mayer, resigned Jan. 31.

Commissioners also started to plan for a permanent administrator. Although hiring an executive search firm would cost an estimated $25,000 to $30,000, commissioners at the Feb. 4 workshop proposed using a search firm instead of having the county itself manage the search for the new administrator, which would be less expensive but would require significant staff time.

A: If they hire me, it’s to give my professional opinion, and as long as they’re open to hearing that opinion, I would move forward with their decision. I feel like my job is to help them have all the facts, make sure to include the public in their decision-making process, and give them options.

If it’s something morally or ethically illegal, that’s a different case. It’s still their decision, but I may not be here very long. Not to say that I’ve felt any of that, but with any supervisor/manager/ director, if you’re not willing to hear out people’s facts, you’re

Q. How can Palm Coast take advantage of its future in technology?

A. We have several different ways to implement technology in the smart city area, to be more efficient in how we deliver basic services, like using smart manhole covers to give advance warning rather than waiting until they’re overflowing.

The other side is FiberNet. We’re one of the few cities that actually have a fiber network, and it’s paid for itself in deferred costs, but now, in the future, how do we leverage it to do some cool things with smart city, with economic development? probably not in the right role.

I have to do the same with my staff — I haven to listen to them.

And hear them out. It’s not to say that everyone will be happy — just like on a soccer field — but if you’re not open to hearing people, it’s not a good thing.

“How am I different? That’s for others to judge. I can just say what I am. ... I’m really focused on the future of where this community is going, because I have a young family myself.”

County to request $10 million to fix Plantation Bay wastewater plant The Flagler County Commission is adding funding for the plant to its lists of requests to the state Legislature.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County is making a lastminute change to its requests to the Florida Legislature: The county is asking for $10 million to fix the wastewater plant at Plantation Bay. The proposal was not on the County Commission’s Feb. 4 meeting agenda. But Commissioner Joe Mullins had recently toured the plant and noted structural problems with its sewer tank. He had spoken with a number of concerned Plantation Bay residents. About 80 packed the County Commission chambers for the morning meeting.

“As you can see, there’s a lot of people concerned with their Plantation Bay water,” Mullins said after the commission finished with the business on the meeting agenda. “I am very concerned about it.”

He said he’d met with residents in a newly formed citizen focus group, visited the plant Jan. 29, and “saw some very disturbing things.” When he spoke to the plant employees, he said, “I could hear it in their voice that they had a lot of concerns.”

There was visible damage to the wastewater tank, including a broken interior retaining wall. A plant employee also pointed out that one portion of the metal tank is warped and buckles inward when the tank is not full.

“That metal will bend and go back and forth. That’s not good on metal,” Mullins said. “If that bursts, it puts a tremendous amount of liability on all of us.”

The county has been working on various projects at the wastewater plant, but divided the process into phases that did not directly address the tank issues Mullins had noted. Mullins said the county should move faster and fix the tank. He proposed adding the wastewater plant to the county’s list of legislative priorities — a list of requests that counties provide to the state Legislature each year.

The county had already drafted a list with four priorities. It included a request for $2 million for the Plantation Bay water plant, but did not include a request for the wastewater plant. The other priorities included funding for a new county library branch, sewage system repairs in the Hammock, and wastewater drainage in western Flagler County.

Mullins had already mentioned the issue to Florida Rep. Paul Renner, he said. The deadline to submit changes to legislative priorities was Feb. 5 — the day after the commission’s meeting.

Commissioners were wary of making a last-minute change with limited information. Repeatedly, they questioned County Engineer Faith Alkhatib, who affirmed that there are problems with the tank, and that various repairs are planned, but not immediately.

Commissioner Greg Hansen suggested seeking $10 million from the state to fix it.

Residents, speaking during the meeting’s public comment period, told commissioners they were concerned that the tank could leak or burst.

“Do we have any idea how much it will cost us if that tank blows?

Do we have any idea how much the EPA will fine us if that tank blows?” resident Shelley Kennedy said. “We don’t have the money to take that risk.”

Resident Jane Gentile-Youd urged the county to seek the $10 million.

Structural problems at the wastewater plant.

“If that bursts, it puts a tremendous amount of liability on all of us.”

JOE MULLINS, county commissioner

“It might be more than $10 million, and the Legislature does not meet until March,” she said.

She proposed that the county make the wastewater plant its top legislative priority.

Resident George Mayo proposed that the county place a moratorium on construction in Plantation Bay until the wastewater plant is fixed, so that additional homes don’t over-stress the system.

The audience applauded that suggestion.

The commission voted unanimously to add the wastewater plant as a fifth legislative priority, request $10 million from the state, and clarify to legislators that the requests aren’t ranked by importance.

Speaking after the vote, Gentile-Youd, who’d faced off against Mullins in the County Commission District 4 race in the last election, said the meeting was “one of the most fruitful meetings I’ve been to in many years, and I thank my new commissioner. Never thought I’d say that, but I am.”

County to pay $15,700 to settle ADA lawsuit Hansen referred to the suit, which is part of a spate of similar lawsuits filed around the state, as a ‘scam.’

DAVID SULLIVAN, county commissioner

Flagler County will not be removing material from the website, said Jarrod Shupe, the county’s IT director.

“The biggest thing here is we’re not going to stop the process,” he said. “We’re not going to stop putting stuff up on any of our websites. … We’re not going to change the way that it looks.”

The county, Shupe said, will hire a new employee as a website accessibility coordinator, and will potentially add additional staff members. It will likely also have a third-party consultant review the website annually to make sure it remains compliant.

“This in no way indicates that we are not trying to do what we can for disadvantaged people,” County Commissioner David Sullivan said. But, he added, “This can be done in a reasonable way, without everybody suing

everybody else. ... We have always done everything we can to make sure disadvantaged people have access.”

County Attorney Al Hadeed said the Department of Justice — the rulemaking agency for the ADA — had promulgated draft regulations about local governments’ responsibilities under the ADA, but has since withdrawn them, “which leaves local governments in a bit of a void,” with most trying to adopt more current standards to support accessibility.

The proposed settlement for Flagler County, Hadeed said, “is in line with what other governments are doing in terms of resolving these suits.”

The County Commission approved it unanimously.

measures to adapt the website.

“We have to comply with the ADA, but in fact this is a scam,” County Commissioner Greg Hansen said during a County Commission meeting Feb. 4. “This law firm is getting rich off the backs of Florida taxpayers.”

Hansen said that the Miamibased law firm, the Law Offices of Scott R. Dinin, will receive the large majority of the settlement — $14,500 — while the plaintiff, Joel Price, will receive $1,200.

The suit is part of a spate of similar lawsuits filed against entities around the state.

“Mr. Price, his attorneys, and a small group of other individuals and attorneys have filed hundreds of similar lawsuits throughout the state against other counties, cities, school boards, other governmental entities, and private businesses,” according to a summary of the suit in a county staff document.

Price, who is blind, “alleges

that Flagler County’s website, www.flaglercounty.org, is inaccessible to visually impaired individuals who use screen reader software, in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,” the staff document states.

The suit specifically addresses the PDF files on the website, which can’t be read by the screen reader software used by individuals who are blind.

“Defendant has denied Plantiff Joel Price access to that electronic (PDF) document. As such, Defendant has denied access to Plaintiff based on Plaintiff’s disability (being low sighted and/or blind),” the complaint of the lawsuit states. “In doing so, Defendant has denied Plaintiff his fundamental right to observe and participate in the democratic process of self-government.”

The city of Flagler Beach is dealing with a similar lawsuit concerning the lack of closed captioning on its City Commission videos. It responded by briefly taking them offline.

Celebrating the life of auditorium’s Lisa McDevitt The Celebration of Life was a testament to Lisa McDevitt’s impact on the arts community.

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

There’s no question that Flagler Auditorium Executive Director Lisa McDevitt lived and breathed the arts.

As an advocate for arts in education, Lisa McDevitt organized multiple 5Ks to take strides for funding scholarships for students who pursued arts after graduation. She was known as the first one in and the last one out for the auditorium’s countless shows — for which she was responsible for securing professional outof-town talents, as well as giving students a platform to grow.

Beyond her appreciation for Flagler County students, Lisa McDevitt was known for her love for her four children: Jaclyn, Jeffrey, John and James.

During the Celebration of Life for Lisa McDevitt on Saturday, Feb. 2, Jaclyn, Jeff and John walked up to the podium to share memories of growing up with the auditorium as a second home.

“When Allen asked me if we wanted to speak, I wasn’t sure what to say,” Jaclyn McDevitt said. “Like my mother, I prefer to be behind the scenes. Then, after sitting and thinking, ‘How do I start?’ the first thing that popped in my head was, ‘Good evening, and welcoming to the Flagler Auditorium.’”

Chuckles filled the room. That was Lisa McDevitt all right.

“A lot of you have watched us grow up, so you all know how special our relationship is with our mom,” Jaclyn McDevitt said. “No matter what she had going on at the theater, she was always a mom first. She never missed any event that us kids were involved in.”

As Flagler School Board member Colleen Conklin spoke about Lisa McDevitt’s affection for her children, she became choked up.

“She had a warmth that would cover everyone she met. But if you knew Lisa for an hour, you knew immediately about the love she had for her children,” Conklin said. “As a single mom, everything she did was for the benefit of her children. I loved how often her adult children would call, each with their own special ring tone, and at the end of every conversa-

tion would hear her say, ‘I love you too.’ Her kids adored her and never hung up without saying it first.

It was a beautiful testament to her relationship with them.”

Lisa McDevitt died at age 58 on Jan. 21, surrounded by friends and family. She called Flagler County home for 43 years. Her impact can T:10” physically be seen at the auditori-

um, as she was the planner behind its recent renovations.

In true auditorium fashion, the Celebration of Life included live music performances.

“This is not a service where we’re going to mourn Lisa a lot because that’s not what Lisa wanted. She wanted a service of celebration,” Allen D. Whetsell

said. “And if you thought the opening numbers were good, you haven’t seen anything yet.”

A piano prelude was played by Alana Fitzgerald, the brass quintet of Flagler Palm Coast High School performed “Pachelbel Cannon,” the FPC chorus sang “It’s a Grand Night for Singing” to lighten spirits, Andy Cooney sang “You Raise Me Up,” Amy Fulmer sang “The Wind Beneath My Wings” and the FPC chorus and alumni concluded the evening with “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”

If there’s one things Lisa McDevitt taught the packed house — young and old — gathered at the Auditorium on Feb. 2, it’s that “The Show Must Go On.” And that it will, with the foundation for arts appreciation that Lisa McDevitt worked tirelessly to establish and build upon through her dedication to the auditorium.

Ed Corcoran left his home in New England to move to Florida in 1989. He moved to Bunnell in 2006.

The friendliness of the community immediately stuck out to him.

“This is a very tight-knit community,” he said. “Everybody knows everybody. We all go out of our way to help others in this community.”

Corcoran became even more ingrained in the community when he took over Cody’s Corner, a convenience store that has been in the area since the 1970s, at 9480 State Road 11.

The owners, Dan and Pat Cody, and John and Rick Cody and

Melanie Bennett, are leasing the store to the Corcorans.

Dan Cody, the retired chief of police in Flagler Beach, decided to step away from the store to be able to attend more of his grandkids’ events and to work on his farm.

Corcoran moved in on Jan. 1 and did some renovations before the Feb. 1 grand opening.

Considering that it’s the only store for miles, he decided to run it as a general store, selling Blue Rhino propane, PVC pipe fittings, off-road diesel fuel and more.

“It just seemed like a good thing to do,” he said. “It’ll be as much of a hangout spot as a store.”

THE BUCHANAN LEGACY Lexi and Anniel Buchanan will be lifting in the state meet on Feb. 8 at Arnold High RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

A

nniel Buchanan still remembers watching her older sister, Flagler Palm Coast sophomore Lexi Buchanan, lift in the Class 2A state weightlifting championship on Feb. 3, 2018, in Panama City Beach.

She remembers the massive crowd that packed into the gym at Arnold High School. She remembers seeing her sister clean-and-jerk 175 pounds on her final attempt to beat Oviedo’s Alexi Jones by 5 points. And, most importantly, she remembers seeing Lexi standing on the podium, sporting a gold medal around her neck.

A spark went off inside Anniel, who was in the eighth grade at the time.

“I wanted to become a part of the Buchanan legacy,” she said. ***

The Buchanans have a history lifting for the Bulldogs. It started with the oldest, Charles Buchanan, who graduated in 2011, and Jahmari Buchanan, who graduated in 2017. Lexi was the first — and only — sibling to win a state title.

Anniel, 15, is a now a freshman at FPC. She started weightlifting the summer before school started.

She had one goal in mind: making

it to the state meet.

However, she weighed 234 pounds in the summer and could only bench press and clean-andjerk 100 pounds, each. She had to cut weight — and get stronger.

In addition to spending hours per day in the weight room, she drank Herbalife shakes and green tea to help lose weight. She did cardio exercises every night before she went to bed.

She lifted in the unlimited weight class in the entire regular season. But by the time she stepped onto the scale at weighins for the district meet, she was at 195.

Anniel won the district meet on Jan. 15, and with a 180-pound bench press and a 165-pound clean-and-jerk, won the regional meet on Jan. 24. On Feb. 8, she’ll step onto the platform at Arnold High School to lift in the state meet.

The dream she’s had since the eighth grade was achieved.

“I was excited to win regionals, but I’m nervous because it’ll be my first time there,” Anniel said.

“Watching Lexi last year, I know it’s going to be hectic.” ***

When Lexi thinks about her younger sister’s success she feels happy — and a twinge of annoyance.

“It’s awesome to see my little sister doing this. She’s on top of what she has to do all the time. I’m proud.”

LEXI BUCHANAN

“She’s doing more than what I did my freshman year,” Lexi said with a smile. “But it’s still awesome to see my little sister doing this. She’s on top of what she has to do all the time. I’m proud.”

The two siblings have pushed each other throughout this season. They’re always in competition, according to Bulldogs weightlifting coach Duane Hagstrom.

“Anniel has her sights set on beating everything that her sister’s done,” he said.

Hagstrom believes that Lexi, who will be gunning for her second-straight state title this season, is too far ahead at this point in time. But as Anniel gets older, the gap will shrink.

The idea of siblings with multiple state championships is a real possibility.

“She started it all,” Anniel said of Lexi. “With her graduating next year, it’s going to be all up to me.

We’re making a legacy together for the Buchanans.”

‘This program is going places’ FPC looks to the future after surrendering five goals to Spruce Creek in the first half, losing the district semifinal.

FPC’s Will Patin attempts a penalty kick in the first half against Spruce Creek.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

Flagler Palm Coast’s boys soccer team went through hard times during the 2017-18 season. Fouryear head coach Reg Monsanto was fired after the first game of the regular season, and the team won just seven games.

Former assistant coach Troy Stone was promoted to the head coaching position ahead of the 2018-19 season. The Bulldogs set a goal of increasing their win total from the previous year as well as advancing to the state playoffs.

The Bulldogs accomplished one of those goals.

Despite upsetting University on the road on Jan. 25, the Bulldogs’ season ended with a 5-0 loss to Spruce Creek in the district semifinal on Wednesday, Jan. 30, at Spruce Creek High School. The Bulldogs (10-12-2) surrendered three goals to the Hawks in the game’s opening eight minutes.

“Spruce Creek is an amazing team,” Stone said. “We dug ourselves in a massive hole. It’s disappointing to lose, but we shot ourselves in the foot multiple times. Going against a team that good? You’re done.”

With the Hawks leading 5-0 at halftime, Stone challenged his team to win the second half.

Senior team captain Nick DeMorias didn’t dwell on the fact that his high school career was going to end in a blowout. He used the final

40 minutes to have fun with his teammates.

“The whole year was a fun experience,” he said. “It got to the point where we wanted to just have fun, not look at the result and play for each other.”

After the game, DeMorias said he was happy. The weight of the end of his high school career hadn’t hit him yet. He expects to feel it in the next few days.

As for the team he’s leaving behind, DeMorias believes the Bulldogs are on the right tack with Stone at the helm.

“This program is going places.

I’m proud that I was here as a starting block,” he said. “They’re going to do great things.”

“Spruce Creek is an amazing team. We dug ourselves in a massive hole. It’s disappointing to lose, but we shot ourselves in the foot multiple times. Going against a team that good? You’re done.”

he Flagler Sheriff’s PAL held its final race for the onemile youth running series on Saturday, Feb. 2, at the track at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

Twenty-seven kids — boys and girls from fourth grade to fifth grade — competed in the event.

This is the first year the run was held. Run Flagler Series Director Bob Hamlin said the event was started to help prepare kids to run in high school. In addition, boys and girls running clubs were started in Flagler County’s elementary schools.

The races began in November to bridge the gap between the cross country and track seasons.

“These kids really love it,” Hamlin said. “They look forward to it. It’s really amazing the enthusiasm they have.”

hough the water wasn’t at polar temperatures, about 100 brave souls raced down the Flagler Beach shore into the waves on the chilly morning of Saturday, Feb. 2, for the fifthannual Polar Plunge.

The event, which is coordinated by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Police Athletic League, benefits Special Olympics Florida - Flagler County. Two Special Olympics athletes were present for the plunge: Joe Ramirez and Chris Seitz.

Joe’s mother, D Ramirez, a Flagler Beach Police officer, was cold afterward, but she didn’t mind.

“I do it every year whether I want to or not,” she said. “It’s for my boy.”

To add to the event’s festivities, participates were encouraged to dress up in costumes to win a trophy.

“Wow, you all really brought it this year,” PAL Program Coordinator Kerri Henderson said to a crowd of hula dancers, Toy Story characters and others in costume, who were gathered at Veterans Park for the plunge.

Even though FCSO’s Toy Story attire didn’t beat the Flagler Beach firefighters’ hula dancer garb,

No Fear in Here, Period Palm Coast mom-daughter duo launches nonprofit to empower young girls by providing sanitary kits.

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

Towers of tampons and piles of pads were stacked high on Palm Coast resident Jill Reynolds’ pool table.

She never thought she’d have about $750 worth of feminine products, deodorants and underwear in her house. But on Jan. 26, she and her 10-year-old daughter Mia started boxing up sanitary kits — in a new effort they call “No Fear in Here, Period.”

The nonprofit initiative aims to empower young girls to not be ashamed of their menstrual periods, but to embrace their womanhood. With a goal of creating 350 bags of female products, the pair will soon donate the kits to the Palm Coast division of the Volu-

to girls, they’re open about the future of “No Fear in Here,” as they think they could add different endings to the name to provide different products or opportunities for girls, such as “No Fear in Here, Prom Dresses.”

It’s just the beginning for Mia, who will attend Camp Congress for Girls soon to learn about bills and passing laws. She said politics are a passion of hers.

Ultimately, Mia said the nonprofit boils down to her desire to help people.

“We’re always about girl empowerment and we’ve been getting into activism these past couple years, so we decided that we wanted to do something right here in our community to make a difference,” Jill said.

Visit https://www.gofundme. com/no-fear-in-here-period to donate.

Flagler Humane Society will be bringing in variety of dogs and cats.

We will also be hosting a food & toy drive for both dogs and cats beginning 2/1 through 2/16. All donations may be brought to Sabal Palms as a drop off site. If it rains our Raindate will be 2/23, same time and place.

Light refreshments will be served and Susan K. Miller, CPMP (Certified Pet Massage Practioner) of Pawsome Pet Massage will be joining us at this event.

We look forward in seeing you!

“When girls or women first get their periods, they’re probably going to feel embarrassed or something, and they don’t want to tell anybody and they hide it,” Mia said. “But now that they’ll have this, they don’t have to tell anybody else, they just don’t have to feel embarrassed.”

Once this idea became a priority for Mia, Jill said it became a priority for her too.

“This is a kit that a girl can take home that she can have,” Jill said.

“She doesn’t have to keep running every day to the school nurse.”

Jill said she isn’t surprised that her Mia thought of this effort, despite only being a fifth-grader.

“I was watching a video and there was a guy who helped a homeless person, and I wanted to do something for someone else,” Mia said. “And so, me and my mom thought about something and decided to do something so girls don’t feel the shame and guilt they feel when they have their periods.”

When the idea turned into reality toward the end of 2018, they created a GoFundMe account and Amazon wishlist with the items they needed and asked friends and family for monetary and supply donations.

“It’s turning into something bigger than we thought,” Jill said.

“We’re going to follow it however long it takes us.”

While they love the idea of giving these feminine products

DONATIONS SUSTAIN SALLY’S SAFE HAVEN Recent donations will sustain Sally’s Safe Haven, a supervised visitation and safe exchange center, after Feb. 28 when its current grant funding period ends, according to a press release from Flagler County.

Since its inception in 2014, 70 families have been served and 1,006 services provided — an average of 14 per family, said Flagler County Public Information Officer Julie Murphy.

“I am challenging other businesses to come forward with donations,” said Joe Mullins, as a private citizen and business owner of The Mullins Companies, on Jan. 30, when his company donated $10,000 to the Children’s Home Society specifically for Sally’s Safe Haven.

The center, which was accredited in May 2017, provides a location for supervised visitations for families in crisis with a nurturing, safe and secure setting to foster healthy relationships.

The county applied for a $550,000 three-year federal grant, but won’t find out if it receives it until Sept. 30, according to the release.

The couple plans to attend the 5th-annual Birds of a Feather Fest from Feb. 7-10 while visiting Lon’s parents, who have lived here for the last two decades.

PALM COAST 8-YEAROLD RECOVERS FROM SEVENTH SURGERY

Photo courtesy of Jennifer Ascone

Cooper Ascone

With seven surgeries by age 8, Cooper Ascone is a true fighter.

The Palm Coast boy has a congenital heart disease called Shone’s complex. There’s no one fix for it, his mother Jennifer Thornton Ascone said.

As a doctor herself, Jennifer struggles with having a mind full of medical knowledge but no way to heal Cooper.

“It’s the hardest thing to know you can’t fix them,” she said. “But that’s why you try to find the best physicians in that field that do the best work.”

On Jan. 30, Cooper had aortic value replacement surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City. The Ascones were last in New York for Cooper’s mitral value replacement in 2017.

Despite years of emotional operations, the community of friends and family rallying behind “#SuperCooper” gives

Jennifer hope.

“You’ve got people who are putting your son on prayer chains and talking about him and thinking about him and sending you these thoughts and these prayers.

It makes you just feel like you’re not alone,” she said. “It makes you feel like even when you’re in these hospital rooms and all you’re hearing is the beeps and the bells and everything all night, you can look outside the window and know that there’s a whole community out there. You just know your son is so loved.”

Cooper’s twin sister Chloe and younger brother Carter are awaiting his return to Palm Coast. They all attend Old Kings Elementary School.

On Feb. 5, Jennifer said they just left ICU and are now on the recovery floor.

“We’re hoping this is the last surgery for years,” she said.

n a dimly lit corner of the Flagler Palm Coast High School media center, a calming soundtrack and essential oils diffuser set the mood as International Baccalaureate students stretched on yoga mats.

Yoga instructor Sonya Romero

demonstrated the next position while reminding the students to breathe deeply.

Once a week since the beginning of the school year, FPC senior Ekatereena Kouzina has participated with this group of students for a yoga session as part of her Community Problem Solvers project called “Root to Rise.”

The meaning behind the name comes from the popular yoga saying, “root down, rise up.”

She uses inspiration from how a lotus flower blooms out of mud to encourage students to find their own beauty and worth within.

focused for class.

Kouzina is now beginning to work with the Graduation Recovery students at FPC and the school’s i3 academy. She hopes to meet with administration in March to discuss a schoolwide mindfulness initiative, as well.

“I feel like the yoga definitely helps me become more relaxed throughout my day,” FPC senior Igor Sokolov said. “It’s helped to take the pressure off me, both psychically and mentally, and it’s helped me become more aware of who I am as a human being and my place in the world.”

As a co-captain for the tennis team and member of cross-country last year, Sokolov said yoga has increased his flexibility and improved pre-match stretching.

“I’m not a very flexible person, so when I started, I couldn’t do many of the exercises that other people were doing but now I feel more comfortable with myself, with my body, and I feel like I’ve

become more flexible,” Sokolov said.

He hopes to continue practicing yoga in his own time after graduation to stay mindful and relaxed, he said.

“A really big thing I’m striving to do with the project is improve that movement literacy — pairing the educational aspect with the physical aspect,” Kouzina said. “And then the goal is to help students be more self-aware in stressful situations.”

At the end of the yoga session on Thursday, Jan. 31, as students laid on their backs with their eyes closed, Romero and teacher Diane Tomko softly waved their hands — with essential oils on them — over the students’ noses, quietly instructors them to take a deep breath one by one.

Not long after, the school bell triggered reality. But the students went on to their next class with a clear head and open mind.

to engrain in students, so that despite our hardships, despite the stress that you’re feeling, you can take that and you can become a little more self-aware of it and in turn you can create something beautiful out of it,” Kouzina said.

As a yogi herself for the 1 1/2 years, Kouzina felt inspired to create a CmPS project to better her peers’ mindfulness after watching her 10-year-old autistic nephew, Jaydon, benefit from the simple act of breathing.

She recalled a summer day last year when she was visiting with Jaydon. He was upset, and so, in an attempt to calm his meltdown, her sister told him just breathe.

“He sat down crisscross apple sauce — or lotus is what we call it in yoga — and he just started breathing and it was so beautiful because even though my sister directed him to do it, he didn’t have to do it that way; he chose to do it that way,” Kouzina said.

“When I come over, he asks me to do yoga with him. I don’t know if he necessarily understands why he does it, but he enjoys it. It’s something that helps him.”

With her nephew in mind, she started implementing one-hour long yoga and breathing classes once a week with ESE students at FPC, starting in January. She said their teachers have already reported improvements in their behavior.

“I think the best part about it is the response I’m getting,” she said.

After the IB students’ first yoga session in August, Kouzina conducted a survey, which found that 85% of the students who participated felt less stressed and more

VISIT O UR G CENTER ARDEN THIS VALENT INES DA Y!

From 1996 to 1999, Fries starred as a wrestler at FPC under the tough but encouraging direction of Coach Steve DeAugustino.

After winning second place at the state competition his first two years, he earned two back-toback state championships to close out his junior and senior years.

Fries went back to school at Daytona State College and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Exceptional Student Education in 2016.

When he started teaching special education at Seabreeze, he didn’t think he would be coaching at all.

When Seabreeze Principal Rawlings asked him to be the girls flag football head coach, Fries said he was a nervous.

“I had never coached girls before, never was the head coach of anything before and never really coached flag football,” he said.

“But it really turned out to be one of my favorite things to do.”

His relationships with the JV and varsity teams at Seabreeze are simple. During practice, laughs are thrown into the mix, but when game time comes, it’s all business.

“I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them,” Fries said. “If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake. But they understand I’m doing it out of love.”

In his classroom, a handwritten note on an index card is pinned up on his bulletin board. It reads “Thanks for the tough love” and is complete with a drawing of a flexing emoji arm muscle and a heart.

Fries’ star quarterback, Bailey McQuarrie, who wrote the note, stuns him with her talent, even being only a sophomore.

“I’ve loved having him as a coach for two years,” McQuarrie said. “He’s been one of the

best coaches I’ve had since he’s really tough on us. He doesn’t let anything just slide. He gets on us about everything, which makes our playing a lot better.”

The team’s flag football game on Tuesday, March 20, was cancelled due to impending inclement weather, but while Fries sat in his classroom before the school day was over, he said he bet at least two of his players — McQuarrie and Grace Remey — would be out on the field, practicing for themselves during seventh period.

Remey postponed graduation to play another year of flag football with the Sandcrabs.

Sure enough, the pair and sophomore Kara Haas were spotted on the field throwing a football around until the thunder rang too loud and pushed them inside.

“He makes it fun, but we’re still learning everything that we need to learn,” McQuarrie said about practices. “And then at game time, there’s no laughing on the sidelines or anything. We’re serious.”

Fries said the Varsity Sandcrabs have set high standards this year, scoring 73 points total for the two regular season games so far, while also keeping the opposing teams from scoring any points.

“I love coaching girls,” he said.

“They learn so quick. They push themselves so hard. They kind of adapt to my personality and want to go out there and succeed in everything that we do.”

Last season, the Sandcrabs ended 8-2. While Fries is optimistic about this season, he’s keeping his girls level-headed — with their game faces at the ready.

“I’ll yell; I’ll scream; I’ll push them. If they make a mistake, I let them know it was a mistake.

But they understand I’m doing it out of love.”

THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 2018

Grace Lucille Lippert

MICHAEL FRIES, Seabreeze girls flag football head coach

April 15, 1932 March 13, 2018

Grace Lucille (Winge) Lippert died on March 13, 2018 at St. Alexius Medical Center in Bismarck, North Dakota surrounded by her loving family. Grace was born on April 15, 1932 atTrinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota, the fourth child of Albert Nicolai and Mabel Caroline (Gregerson) Winge. She grew up on the farm that was homesteaded by her father in 1913 in Van Hook, North Dakota where she did her fair share of chores in the barn with her father and chores in the house with her mother. She attended Van Hook Public School and graduated in 1950. During the winter months she was transported to school by horse and sleigh with her father at the reins, keeping her feet warm with bricks taken from the cookstove.

She enjoyed Glee Club during her school years. After graduating from high school she entered the school of nursing at Trinity Hospital in Minot. She worked for a short period of time in the hospital in Rugby, North Dakota. In the fall of 1951 she entered Minot State Teachers College, now known as Minot State University, where she studied to become an elementary school teacher. On July 29, 1953 she graduated with her standard diploma in elementary education.

1953 was a very significant year for the entire Winge family as their farm was taken by right of eminent domain to accommodate Lake Sakakawea, the lake that would be formed by the building of the Garrison Dam on the Missouri River. The family moved to a farm in Litchville, North Dakota where Grace taught 3rd and 4th grade in the Litchville Public School for two years, 1953 - 1954 and 1954 - 1955. After two years in Litchville she accepted an offer to teach 3rd grade at Washington School in Fargo, North Dakota which involved a significant pay increase, from $2,500 per year in Litchville to $4,300 per year in Fargo. She taught in Fargo for three school years, 1955-1956, 1956-1957 and 1957-1958.

During her years in Fargo she shared an apartment with her younger brother Royce who was studying at North Dakota State University, watching out for him as a big sister often would. She enjoyed her time teaching, guiding children and developing their minds. She also enjoyed the colleagues with whom she worked. While in Fargo she experienced more life changing events. Her mother died very suddenly of a massive cerebral hemorrhage on July 18, 1956. Grace also met the man who would become her husband, Wilbur Eugene Lippert. He was a student at North Dakota Agricultural College, now North Dakota State University. He graduated in 1957, they got engaged and he accepted a job offer in Chicago, Illinois. Grace, always being the cautious one, suggested he try the job for a year before they got married. Grace continued to teach in Fargo and Wilbur began his career in Chicago. On a very hot June 28, 1958 Grace and Wilbur were married at First Lutheran Church in Litchville, ND.

Anthonynot Lucca only to notify The Observer offers obituaries to Our Team

Wilbur and Grace honeymooned in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada before establishing their home in Elmhurst, Illinois where Grace taught reading to students in elementary schools in Lombard, Illinois during the 1958-1959 school year.

She then switched careers, becoming a mother to Muriel Jean on February 10, 1960 and Nancy Ann on July 31, 1962. She loved being a mother and was a very loving and devoted mother, always cheering on her girls.The Lippert family became lifelong fans of Roberto’s Pizza in Elmhurst, Illinois as a result of Grace’s work as a cashier at Roberto’s from 1963 - 1967.

Proudly Welcomes

Grace returned to her first love, medicine, and began a 30-year career when she started working as an aide in the surgery department at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois in 1967. In 1970 she completed classes and passed her national certification exam to be a Certified Surgical Technologist. As she studied, her children also learned many medical terms. In 1990, she completed certification in Sterile Processing and helped set up the new Sterile Processing unit at the hospital. She moved to the Endoscopy Unit in 1992 from which she retired in 1997 completing 30 years of service.

As the years went on she welcomed 5 grandchildren with great joy and spent much time with them after retirement. Whether visiting Emma and Eric in North Dakota or Lauren, Alex and Maureen in Florida or them visiting she and Grandpa in Elmhurst, every moment spent with them was a treasure to her. She was delighted to become a great grandmother on May 8, 2017.

In the late 1990s they were able to purchase a second home in Palm Coast, Florida and have enjoyed spending time there in the winter, being close to Nancy and her family and making new friends. Grace frequently checked on her neighbors at Kings Colony, whether she was in Florida or back in Elmhurst. They considered her a blessing.

Flagler Matters.

Grace and Wilbur have both been grounded in their faith in God, being active members of Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Elmhurst, IL their entire married life. They both have a deep sense of call to serve others. They have often welcomed others to live in their home with them and have worked for the benefit of others in many and various ways their whole lives. Whether it be driving someone to a dentist appointment or the grocery store or serving up some coffee and cookies or banana bread along with a listening ear, they have both always had a heart that cares about others. Jesus said “I came not to be served, but to serve” and they have followed Jesus’ example.

Grace is survived by her loving husband of almost 60 years: Wilbur Lippert; two daughters and their families: The Rev. Muriel J.

own life story to tell. We understand this, and that’s why you can depend on your Dignity Memorial® professionals to capture a persons essence with a service that’s both a fitting reflection and a memorable tribute.
