Who’s the biggest “Star Wars” fan in Palm Coast? It might be the father who named his son after Kylo Renn, the villain in “The Force Awakens.” Dan and Jacque Wrenn became the proud parents of their fourth child on March 29 and named him Ronin Michael Kylo Wrenn.

Dan Wrenn has been a lifelong fan of the movies and now has a weekly podcast called “Podcast 4 Sci-fi.” He attends sci-fi conventions many times each year and has brought his wife and children with him to three “Star Wars”

events, including the most recent one in Orlando, which was little Kylo’s first.

Like many fans, Dan Wrenn collected “Star Wars” figures and played with them as a child. As an an adult, he still buys the latest toys, but they’re for the collection only.

“My kids will hate me someday when they find all of them and ask if they can open them, and I say no,” he said.

After “May the Fourth be with you,” the Wrenns will be celebrating “Revenge of the Fifth.”

Man shot to death in Flagler Beach; father arrested Bobby Gore, 74, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of his son, 31-year-old Lucas David Gore.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A 74-year-old Flagler Beach man has been charged with firstdegree murder in the executionstyle shooting death of his son, 31-year-old Lucas David Gore.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office got a call about a shooting at 1002 S. Daytona Ave. in Flagler Beach, across from the Flagler Beach Community Church, at about 12:26 a.m. April 30.

Sheriff’s Office deputies and officers from the Flagler Beach Police Department arrived at the house to find Lucas Gore unresponsive and slumped over a table. His father was found inside

the house with a f i rea r m , and officers secured him, according to a Flagler Beach Police Department news Bobby Gore release. Fire rescue staff checked Lucas Gore and determined that he was dead.

Lucas Gore’s mother and Bobby Gore’s wife, 57-year-old Bonnie Jean Gore, told deputies she’d been sitting on the back porch with Lucas Gore, and the two were arguing, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit.

As they argued, she said, Bobby

Flagler County enacts countywide burn ban, declare state of local emergency Flagler County commissioners enacted a burn ban throughout the county and declared a state of local emergency at the Monday, May 1 County Commission meeting.

“We are proposing to initiate the ban as an abundance of caution due to the amount of fires occurring around the state,” Flagler County Fire Rescue Chief Don Petito said in a county government news release. “Since January, there have been 1,775 fires around the state burning approximately 146,172 acres in the state

Gore walked out with a gun and shot Lucas Gore twice in the head.

Matthew Gore, Lucas Gore’s 33-year-old brother, said Bobby Gore and Bonnie Gore had gone out to the Poor Walt’s bar at about 9 p.m. He believed his brother Lucas had followed. Matthew Gore was awoken at about midnight by the argument between his mother and brother. He was leaving the house and was at the front of the home when he heard what he described as two loud “claps.” He walked back inside and saw his brother slumped over the family’s glass table.

Bobby Gore was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder with a firearm and booked at the

of Florida.”

The burn ban prohibits the following: n The sale, use and discharge of fireworks n Open burning, including the use of fire pits and containers n Throwing matches or cigarettes (or other burning materials) from car windows n Parking vehicles with catalytic converters in high grassy areas n The use of charcoal-burning barbecue grills (propane grills are still permitted.)

Anyone who violates the executive order, or willfully fails or refuses to comply, can be punished by law under Florida Statutes Section 252.50. Violating the ban would be a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500 and 60 days in jail.

county jail at 10:22 a.m. He is being held without bond.

The Medical Examiner’s Office will be performing an autopsy on Lucas Gore.

The State Attorney’s Office Homicide Investigations Unit and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Crime Scene Unit are also working on the case.

“This case is an absolute tragedy,” Flagler Beach Police Chief Matt Doughney said in the news release. “As a department, our hearts go out to the Gore family.

Our victim advocates are committed to assisting the Gore family during this most difficult of times, and please keep them in your thought and prayers.”

Two very large fires are currently active in the state. There is the 21,840-acre “Cowbell Fire” in South Florida’s Big Cypress National Preserve, now largely contained, and the “West Mims Fire” in North Florida that is currently about 100,517 acres.

“The fire activity being reported around the state is aggressive fire behavior and the rapid spread rate is alarming,” Petito said. “The Florida Forest Service has suspended issuing any type of burn permits statewide.”

Twenty-two counties have already issued burn bans in Florida.

The ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Sen. Bill Nelson speaks at the county Centennial Celebration April 29.

CENTENNIAL

CELEBRATION The County Commission and the School Board re-enacted their first board meetings from 1917 at the Centennial Celebration April 29.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

F

lagler County was formed with just 5,000 residents.

The county’s first teachers were paid $50 per month. The county’s namesake, Henry Flagler, was granted 8,000 acres of Florida land for each mile of railroad track he laid.

Those facts were just a few that attendees learned at an April 29 presentation during the county’s Centennial Celebration at the Government Services Building.

The county’s current County Commission and School Board re-enacted those boards’ very first, 1917 meetings — with a few humorous, self-effacing asides.

Sen. Bill Nelson spoke about the region’s history, and John Stavely and Diane Jacoby gave performances as Henry Flagler and wife, Lily.

Flagler County was formed from the southern end of St. Johns County and the northern end of Volusia County on June 11, 1917.

“For those of us who have called this county home for any amount of time, we’ve seen our fair share of changes,” said Colleen Conklin, a School Board member and one of the county’s longest-serving elected officials. “And while we’ve grown from just 5,000 citizens to more than 100,000, in many, many ways, we’ve been able to keep our charm.”

The County Commission reenacted its the board’s first meeting, with current board members playing their 1917 predecessors.

“We certainly want to be authentic, so turn your mic on,” County Commission Chairman Nate McLaughlin said, starting the proceedings with laughter from the audience.

That first meeting, held at 3 p.m. July 2, 1917, was held in the Bunnell Development Co. center on Railroad Street at the intersection with Moody Boulevard.

At that first meeting, the board appointed George Moody — son of Isaac I. Moody — as its temporary chairman, set its meeting time at 9 a.m. Mondays and sought prices on paper and printing materials for county business.

Three days later, the commission met again. Among other

actions, it made George Moody its official chairman and decided that that position should rotate among the commissioners; approved Isaac I. Moody its emissary to the state Legislature; approved compensation of $7.50 to the sheriff for each trip he took to or from the jail in St. Augustine to deposit prisoners, plus an additional $1.50 for each prisoner after the first per trip; approved an application to the state for 30 state prisoners to work on county roads and approved requests to the state’s Attorney General to place a potato at the center of the county’s seal, a stalk of corn on the seal of the county clerk of courts office and a cabbage on the seal of the county judge. There were no split votes at either meeting.

The Flagler County School Board held a re-enactment of the three-member Flagler Board of Public Instruction’s first three meetings, held on July 3, July 16 and Aug. 18, 1917. Among other things, it set its overall first-year budget as $10,970 and approved the hiring of a district attorney.

Sen. Bill Nelson, himself a Florida native, spoke of his connections to the region and its history.

“There are two things that particularly endear me to this county,” Nelson said. “One is Kim Hammond [former judge]. Kim and I grew up together. We played Little League baseball together. ... The other thing that draws me to this

part of Florida is my roots.”

Nelson’s family came to Florida in 1829. In 1917, the year that Flagler became a county, Nelson’s grandparents were being granted a deed under the Homestead Act to the land they had worked for four years near Titusville. That land, Nelson said, is just a few miles from what became the Kennedy Space Station, where Nelson, in 1986, would launch into space as a crew member on the STS-61C Columbia.

“I was the last of the crew to crawl in and strap in, and I wandered off on that launch tower by myself, and looked in the direction just three miles away from the launch pad, where my grandparents fought off moccasins and rattlesnakes and alligators and — especially — mosquitos. And I just couldn’t believe that they, had they been alive, that they could have believed that a grandson was going to leave the face of the earth almost directly from the old homestead.”

At the end of the celebration, County Commission Chairman Nate McLaughlin read a “Celebration of Unity” proclamation, which recognized the “racial divide and social ignorance” of 1917 and celebrates the “unity now existent between all races, creeds, national origins, self identifications and humanity.”

The event was organized by the members of the Centennial Committee: Carl Laundrie, Sisco Deen, Art Dycke, Elaine Studnicki, Virginia Giaramita, Robbie Creal, Thea Mathen and John Dalton.

FLAGLER COUNTY’S NAMESAKE n Henry Flagler was born in

1830 in New York. n He went to work at 14 in a relative’s shop and later entered the grain business. n His first major business failure was in salt production. The Flagler and York Salt Co. collapsed with the Civil War, and Flagler declared bankruptcy. n In partnership with John D. Rockefeller and other industrialists, Flagler formed the business that later became Standard Oil. n Flagler began construction on the Ponce de Leon Hotel in St. Augustine after visiting the city with his second wife on their honeymoon and finding the local accommodations insufficient. The hotel was completed in 1888. n After his second wife was committed to an asylum, Flagler got the Florida Legislature to overturn a law which barred someone from divorcing a person who’d been committed. Less than two weeks later, Flagler married his third wife.

The state later repealed the new law. n Repeated freezes pushed Flagler to extend his railroad ever southward. The final stretch reached Key West in 1912. The stretch through the Keys was largely destroyed by a hurricane in 1935.

The Flagler County government is looking at its options after all three bids it received from companies willing to take on its beach restoration project came in too high — about twice the cost the county had hoped for.

The county rejected all of those bids and plans to go back out to bid to see if it can get the cost lower, County Administrator Craig Coffey told county commissioners at a May 1 workshop.

The county has three strategies to try to get the cost more manageable, Coffey said: 1) Develop a local source of sand, which may or may not be possible, 2) Remove uncertainty for bidders by handling permitting for some of the project ahead of time, and 3) Check other parameters of the project to see if any were “too cumbersome.”

“We’re going to work through all that,” Coffey said. “We’re progressing. I wish it were quicker, but it is what it is.”

The project to build a seawall at Painters Hill is still moving forward, and the county expects to have a permit for that work by May 15.

County Commissioner Dave Sullivan speaks at a commission meeting May 1.

Engineers’ beach renourishment plan, it’s still working with the Army Corps to make itself eligible for federal funding, Coffey said.

The county is also waiting on permits to undertake the beach work during sea turtle nesting season, a plan that will require contracting with the VolusiaFlagler Turtle Patrol to relocate nests.

But there are multiple variables affecting when the work might actually begin.

“Even if we had all the regulatory stuff cleared up, we’ve got a budget issue and a sand issue.”

Coffey said to the commission.

“I’m not sure I can give you a real good timeline now until a few of these key issues are in place.”

County to buy up ‘residential’ land next to jail and a planned shooting range ‘In our opinion, it’s not a good place for us to have a large residential population,’ County Administrator Craig Coffey said.

The land the county plans to buy is outlined in yellow.

upland, meaning that it could be built on in the future, Coffey told the commission.

“This would be a good acquisition,” Coffey said. “The price is right. ... Even as you expand later, even if you use it for nothing but parking or a stormwater pond, it would still be a usable parcel.”

The purchase of the property was not in this year’s budget, and the money will have to come from excess local option sales tax money or road fee money, Coffey said. The commissioners came to a consensus to approve the purchase.

The rectangular patch of land on the southwest side of Justice Lane wouldn’t make for a great homesite, and for a real estate agent trying to show it, things might go south once a potential homebuyer asked what the neighbors were like. “Well,” the agent might say, “There’s the county jail right out back. Then just up the road is a facility for people with addiction or mental illness. There’s a training ground for firefighters and law officers across the street.

Oh, and the county also plans to add a shooting range next door.”

The 9.04-acre plot of land in question is now vacant. But it’s designated in the county’s Future Land Use Map for residential use, and that has the county government concerned.

“In our opinion, it’s not a good place for us to have a large residential population,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said at a May 1 County Commission workshop. Coffey listed the surrounding government facilities — the jail, the training ground, the planned shooting range for Sheriff’s Office deputies. “All that’s fairly non-residential,” he said.

The county hopes to get ahead of that potential problem by just buying up the land itself, at a cost of about $65,000. The land is all

Why the Carver Center matters More volunteers and donations are needed.

GUEST WRITER

Today at the George Washington Carver Community Center, students gather after school in a welcoming atmosphere to hang out, work on the computers, read books, play a game of pool or foosball, pick up a basketball game and just have fun in a safe place, under the watchful eye of the Rev. Eli Emanuel.

But it wasn’t always this way.

BLACK SCHOOL, WHITE SCHOOL

In the 1950s and ’60s, the Carver Center was known as the George Washington Carver School, and it was one of two kindergartento-12th-grade schools in Flagler County, the other being Bunnell High School. They were only 10 blocks apart, and there was no official district or dividing line that determined where a child went to school — only the color of your skin.

If you were black, you went to Carver. If you were white, you went to Bunnell High School.

When school districts were ordered to desegregate throughout the country, Flagler County was one of the last to do so. In 1967, the George Washington Carver School was closed, and all high school students were sent to Bunnell High School, with elementary students being divided between the Flagler Beach Elementary School, churches and Bunnell Elementary.

In 1970, Bunnell High School burned down. All of the high school students, black and white, were moved to the Carver School while the Flagler County School Board quickly built Flagler Palm Coast High School, which opened in 1973.

As the years went by, the School Board demolished all the buildings at the old George

“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.”

Washington Carver School except the gym. Through the years, the county and the schools have transferred ownership of the property, along with the responsibility of operating the gym as a community resource.

FRIEDRICH HAYEK “Road to Serfdom,” 1944

SAVING CARVER

As governments at all levels struggled to lower taxes in the great recession of 2008-2011, the nearly forgotten gym was considered expendable and to be closed by Flagler County, which operated it at the time. The community erupted and petitioned the county to keep it open.

The County Commission reconsidered and created a coalition of government entities and residents to not only keep it open, but to improve and expand its offerings.

The key element in making the facility work was a committed steady hand in management.

A dedicated youth advocate who also is manager of the Flagler County Youth Center, Cheryl Massaro offered to help, and she organized a competent team that organizes daily activities and a variety of community events.

Massaro said the new management had to gain the trust of the community. “Prior to that point, so many groups and programs had come to Carver and offered services, only to leave after a short stay,” she said. “Establishing strong, reliable programs and activities was crucial in the development of the facility.”

Massaro praised the Rev. Eli Emanuel, or “Sugar-Pop” to locals, for his work in managing the center.

“I will never forget our first meeting,” Massaro said. “I told Rev. Emmanuel that the success or failure of the new G.W. Carver Community Center was going to fall on his shoulders.”

HOW TO HELP Flagler County residents helped raise over $5,000 in the recent dinner dance, Motown Madness. The online auction that closed April 27 finished close to the same amount. Visit gwcarvercenter.com.

To donate, mail checks to the George Washington Carver Foundation c/o P.O. Box 434, Flagler Beach, FL 32136. You will receive a letter acknowledging it as a tax-deductible contribution.

A LIGHT TO THE COMMUNITY

Today, Emanuel continues to run the facility daily, calling it a “light” in the community.

“Now our children and young adults can see there’s hope,” he said. “Carver is a big part of that village to help raise a child. It’s essential.”

Brian Willard is responsible for the startup (in 2012) and continued development of the highly successful Road to Success Youth Program, with help from Flagler Schools and a grant from Career Source. RTS has been recognized as “the model” in many areas of the state and has supported 106 students in gaining their GED and pre-employment training.

RTS operates out of newly remodeled classrooms at the Carver Center, each accommodating 10 students.

“It has been a privilege to be a part of the Carver Center and to work with everyone involved,” Willard said.

The center accomplishes a lot, but with more funds and more adult volunteers, it could do more and stay open for more hours. It badly needs more paid monitors, an addition that would add more classrooms and meeting rooms that will expand current programs, adding capacity.

THE WORK OF THE FOUNDATION

Since the creation of the George Washington Carver Foundation, we have raised over $60,000.

We paid the county $20,000 for ceiling insulation as a part of renovations that added new air conditioning and heat, added renovated upstairs classrooms and more. The foundation has bought bleachers, scoreboards, backboards, uniforms, balls, furniture. We give two or three college scholarships annually.

We help pay for the summer camp food operated by the Alliance of Involved Ministers.

We currently just finished the latest fundraising and are prepared to again donate a large sum to the county for the planned building expansion. We have had excellent funding partners; in addition to the coalition group of governments, a Kiwanis grant and Bank of America were our first large sponsors of improvements.

Additionally, members of the community annually write checks in support of our activities. One hundred percent of funds raised go to this operation or initiatives that affect the surrounding community. And you can help as well!

While all of these dreams are being accomplished at the Center, the citizens of that community will take back their streets one block at a time where it will be a model of community involvement and an attractive and safe place to live, learn and play.

I’M BACK!

BARNETT COGAN Palm Coast

Seniors event planned Dear Editor: Flagler County has thousands of seniors over 60. They all have something in common, and that is worry about major changes coming.

Due to disabilities and age, some are homebound or bed bound, while others are hardly home because they are working to survive. Others may be more socio-economically elevated, but they know change is here.

They have different reasons to be aware, prepared and ready to use advocacy tools, but many do not know where to start and are already in trouble.

Fortunately, there is a local

LET T ERS

Dear Editor: Why do our city officials dream up frivolous, high-maintenance ways to spend money?

Example: the new plan to spend $425,000 on structures to shade Waterfront, Belle Terre, Ralph Carter and Seminole Woods parks.

As a youth growing up in Brooklyn, New York, I used the parks in my area a great deal.

When the weather got too hot, I found shade and water fountains to be refreshing.

The money to be used on this project could be better spent for street lighting and sidewalks.

Also, the handling of the reconstruction of Holland Park has been a fiasco, and our city leaders should be ashamed of the lack of progress.

Effort needed to recruit restaurants Dear Editor: As money from Palm Coast continues to flow to Daytona, St. Augustine and other places with good eating establishments, another Taco Bell expansion was just announced in Palm Coast. Many residents were hoping that some upscale eateries would be put in the new Shoppes at Palm Coast, at State Road 100 and Belle Terre Boulevard. But, another fast food joint is going up. Looks like the money will continue to flow out of the city!

City Council needs to get off their butts and attract more than fast food eateries.

Suspect shoots at deputy, flees after carjacking vehicle A 19-year-old Palm Coast man was arrested May 2 after spraying gunfire at a deputy and at his own parents May 1, then carjacking a car at gunpoint to flee.

Suspect Phillip Joseph Haire, 19, was arrested after he turned himself in at the Putnam County jail at about 9:25 May 2 following a manhunt that lasted almost 30 hours.

The deputy had been standing at the front door of Haire’s home on London Drive May 1 talking to Haire’s parents when Haire drove by and opened fire in the direction of the deputy and Haire’s parents, striking the deputy’s patrol car at least twice.

Then he turned back around and fired at the house a second time, Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Haire’s father ran back into the house, grabbed a gun, came back out and fired several shots at Haire’s fleeing car as the deputy tried to shield Haire’s mother, who was in a wheelchair.

The deputy disarmed Haire’s father. No one was injured.

Haire crashed his car after firing at the deputy, then carjacked a car from a local resident on U.S. 1 and fled. The carjacking victim was not injured.

“Hopefully he will go off to prison for a very long time and no longer be a menace to the community,” Staly said. Haire’s home on London Drive has been the subject of several dozen 911 calls in recent years.

Deputies also arrested one of Haire’s associates, 24-year-old Derek Hall.

Haire had previously been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting in March 2016 that also caused no deaths or injuries. Those charges were later dropped. He’d been shot himself, and critically injured, in a shooting in 2015. A 17-year-old was charged in connection with that crime.

Man arrested on molestation charge

A Palm Coast man turned himself in at the Sheriff’s Office April 25 on a charge of lewd and lascivious molestation after his 12-year-old victim recorded a phone conversation in which he referred to the abuse.

Aaron Whitley, 42, had been under investigation by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office since December 2016, when the Sheriff’s Office took a statement from the 12-year-old victim’s father, who she’d told about the abuse by Whitley.

Whitley is charged with one count of lewd and lascivious molestation on a child between the ages of 12 and 16. He was released from jail on $50,000 bond.

District to consider letting students keep school laptops

With 5-0 vote, School Board picks James Tager

Duval schools offer to sell laptops to students.

New Superintendent Tager will finish the school year as principal at Atlantic High School, in Volusia County.

JONATHAN SIMMONS JONATHAN SIMMONS

NEWS EDITOR

One of the initiatives the school district is most proud of is its one-to-one program that pairs students with technology — either an iPad or a MacBook — to make sure the kids have access to computers for their classwork and homework.

School Board member Colleen Conklin suggested at a board workshop May 2 that the district might be able to build on that program by letting students keep the computers after they graduate from high school, or by letting the students purchase them for a reduced price.

The board had looked into that possibility in the past, but there were legal or regulatory restrictions at the time that kept the district from giving the computers to the students for free, Conklin said.

Since then, however, Duval County’s school district has been providing its used laptops to students, and Conklin suggested the district look into how that district managed to do so lawfully.

“It might be worth having an update at a future workshop,” Conklin said.

The Duval County program sells used computers to students for $50, according to the Duval County Public Schools webpage.

School Board member Andy Dance said the district could offer to let students buy their used

laptops at graduation for market value.

“After five years of use or five students, it doesn’t do any good for us to hold them,” Dance said.

The computers might have to be wiped or reformatted to make that possible, Dance said.

Also on May 2, the board approved placing its proposed Code of Conduct for the upcoming year up for public comment.

The documents will be accessible to the public for a minimum of 30 days before the board votes on whether to approve it.

The code is actually split into two codes this year: the Elementary Code of Student Conduct and the Secondary Code of Student Conduct.

Changes from last year’s code are minor, district staff said. The proposed codes of student conduct can be viewed online at flaglerschools.com

James Tager, a principal at Atlantic High School in Port Orange and a former deputy superintendent for the Volusia County School District, has been selected as the next superintendent of Flagler Schools, succeeding Jacob Oliva. The Flagler County School Board voted unanimously, 5-0, on the night of May 2, to pick Tager over the other two finalists, calling Tager “authentic” and “student centered.”

At the workshop earlier in the day on May 2, board members spoke in detail about Tager and the other two finalists.

In meeting with Tager, School Board member Colleen Conklin said, she wanted to know if he personally believed in the possibility of getting the district to a 100% graduation rate. He did, she said, and told her that he felt very strongly about the matter.

The two had also discussed zero-tolerance discipline policies, and Tager had agreed with Conklin that, “Yes, the world is not always black and white ... so that each case really does require a sense of looking at all of the elements.” Conklin was also impressed with Tager’s understanding of the importance of building relationships with the community.

Board member Maria Barbosa said Tager’s demeanor had made

a positive impression on her. He also had the benefit of knowing the area and having contacts in Volusia County and familiarity with state education issues.

Andy Dance said that Tager had something of an advantage over the other candidates because he’s close enough to Flagler to be exposed to local press stories about Flagler Schools.

And, Dance said, “I believe him when he said this is the job that he wants. … I think his strength will be through his familiarity, and with knowing the programs that have moved us forward.”

School Board member Janet McDonald visited Tager at Atlantic High School.

“I think the comment that Mrs. Conklin said about relationships was evident,” McDonald said. “Everyone there knew him; he knew them by name. He responded to teachers, students, preschoolers just beautifully.”

School Board Chairman Trevor Tucker said he felt that Tager’s strength would likely be working with people, and that his weakness would be finance.

At the meeting on the evening of May 2, Tucker and School Board Attorney Kristy Gavin were authorized to begin negotiations on a contract for Tager. The advertised salary was $125,000 to $149,000, based on experience.

In 3-2 vote, City Council approves contract to identify and plug cell service gaps The contract gives Diamond Communications the right to a share of revenue from carrier contracts.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR Stock photo

Local officials hopeful as state vacation rental bill may be stalled Flagler County officials are hopeful that the proposed state law to bar municipalities from regulating vacation rentals might have stalled.

The two bills are now “so radically different,” County Attorney Al Hadeed said at a County Commission workshop May 1, that they may be irreconcilable, keeping the proposed legislation from becoming law.

The House Bill passed the House 63-56 on April 28. “If we had just converted five more House members to our position, it would have been defeated,” Hadeed said. The county is aware of at least one effort to try to craft a compromise, Hadeed said, and there could be last-minute maneuvering to pass the legislation. But, he said, “I don’t know that there will be any capability, when the two legislative bodies are so wide apart, that they’ll be able to close that gap by midnight this Friday, and that’s their deadline.”

In a split 3-2 vote, Palm Coast’s City Council at its May 2 meeting approved a contract that the city hopes will help it eliminate gaps in local cell phone service.

The contract with Diamond Communications requires Diamond to map out the dead zones for major carriers. Diamond would then entice the carriers to fill the gaps, with Diamond taking a share of the revenue from any new contracts with carriers.

The vote at the council meeting followed almost an hour and a half of discussion by the council as City Councilman Nick Klufas implored his colleagues to table the proposal until Gov. Rick Scott decides whether to sign proposed legislation into law. The law would allow communications companies to add infrastructure on public rights of way and pay the municipality only $150 per year, per communications pole.

The legislation comes as carriers are preparing to move to fifthgeneration wireless technology, which would use a Distributed Antenna System, or DAS. Under that system, signals would be relayed by antennas on a series of poles that are about 50 feet tall.

Unlike large, lattice-style cell towers, the poles can be placed

Nick Klufas

almost anywhere.

That gives the carriers much more space in which to operate.

“They’re going to come to cities and say, ‘Hey, can we put our stuff on your poles,’ or, ‘Can we install our poles on your public right of way?’” Klufas said. Under the new law, Diamond could not intercede to halt such arrangements, and there would be less incentive for carriers to pay to install antennas on existing city towers.

Klufas suggested that the city could handle negotiations with the carriers itself, and use the $150-per-pole revenue to help finance streetlights for safety.

Because the DAS would require poles every few hundred yards, there could be thousands of poles added to the city.

City Manager Jim Landon said the state legislation wouldn’t negate the effectiveness of the city’s contract with Diamond.

“We’re really talking apples and oranges here,” he said, “This new

legislation is about public right of way — our streets. It is not about our existing towers” It’s still useful to try to entice carriers to use those existing towers, Landon said.

The other thing Diamond would do, Landon said, is give the city some advice on crafting its regulations in a way that encourages carriers to do business in the city.

The contract, Landon said, could be amended to comply with potential changes in state law.

“What I think is very important is that we not sit back and wait for all of this to happen around us,” Landon said. “Now’s the time where we need to update our ordinances; we need to move forward. But in order to do that, we need experts to help us, and this contract is: They will help us at no cost.”

The arrangement with Diamond will cost the city revenue from its towers in the future.

Although Diamond wouldn’t receive any money unless it brought contracts to the city, it would then take 35% of revenue from new carriers’ leases on the city’s towers, and, if an existing lease is modified, 25% of the new revenue from that lease.

If new towers would be built, Diamond would pay Palm Coast $25,000 at start of construction, but then take 60% of the revenue.

Diamond would receive that revenue for 25 years, and would have the exclusive right to represent the city in negotiations with car-

riers for five years.

Klufas suggested the city consult with an independent expert on the ramifications of the pending state law and coming changes in technology before signing a contract. He said he’d reached out directly to government services representatives from carriers, and that they’d seemed eager to negotiate directly with the city, not with an intermediary.

Landon had said at a previous workshop that the city had had trouble trying to deal with carriers directly.

Councilwoman Heidi Shipley agreed with Klufas, saying she was concerned that a carrier might be wary of dealing with the city through Diamond. She suggested seeking advice from a consultant.

Councilman Steve Nobile didn’t want to wait.

“I like Nick’s idea; I really do,” he said. “But I don’t want to put on hold taking action today waiting for the new technology. Because if we do that, we can technically do that forever, because technology’s always new.”

Klufas made a motion that the city table the proposed contract for 60 days, to give staff time to seek out expert advice. That motion was voted down, with only Klufas and Shipley in favor.

Nobile made a motion to approve the contract with Diamond Communications. It passed 3-2, with Klufas and Shipley dissenting.

City approves granting land near airport to county The City Council initially resisted the county’s request.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

In a shift from their positions at a Palm Coast City Council workshop a week prior, council members at a May 2 meeting decided to approve the county’s request to let the county take over some city land near the airport.

The deannexation would alter the city’s boundaries with the county so that a 116.23-acre plot of land near the airport — land now under the jurisdiction of the city — would fall within the county’s boundaries.

At the council workshop, council members had balked at the idea of carving the land out of the center of the city. Doing so would mean that if it were ever developed in the future, City Manger Jim Landon said, it would be developed under unincorporated county standards that could be lower than city standards.

City Mayor Milissa Holland and Councilwoman Heidi Shipley both thought that would be unfair to nearby residents who’d bought their homes expecting that any nearby development would meet the more stringent city standards.

The county’s deputy administrator, Sally Sherman, explained in public comment during the workshop that the county didn’t want to develop the land, and in fact could not: The county had purchased the plot with grant money from the Federal Aviation

Administration specifically to prevent development too close to the airport and establish a runway safety area By the May 2 meeting, city staff had come up with a compromise: The council would approve the deannexation on its first of two scheduled votes on the topic.

Then, before the next vote, it would sign an interlocal agreement with the county stating that any vertical development on the land would meet Palm Coast standards, not Flagler County standards, and that if the county ever sells the land, it would return to Palm Coast’s jurisdiction.

Sherman, speaking before the council at the May 2 meeting, said the county needed to sign an interlocal agreement with the city concerning the property anyway, because the FAA required an airport protection zone interlocal agreement. The county will be drafting an interlocal agreement to bring back before the city, she said.

And while she couldn’t speak for the County Commission, Sherman said, the city’s proposal for an interlocal agreement seemed reasonable.

County Commissioners Donald O’Brien and David Sullivan also spoke at the meeting during there public comment period in support of the city’s new proposal, with O’Brien calling it “very logical.”

The City Council approved the plan unanimously.

Palm Coast will spend a combined $1.5 million to add bathrooms at the Palm Coast Arts Foundation property and bathrooms and sports lighting at the Indian Trails Sports Complex.

The lighting has been part of the city’s capital improvement plan for years, City Manager Jim Landon told the City Council at a May 2 council meeting.

“Indian Trails Sports Complex is one of the largest draws for visitors every year,” he said. “This is a way of reinvesting back into the tourism market here in Palm Coast.”

The Palm Coast Arts Foundation is on land that is owned by the city and leased to PCAF, so the bathrooms there will be on city land.

The bathrooms will be constructed behind the current stage and built in a manner that will allow them to be incorporated into PCAF’s planned expansion.

Money for the projects, officials said, comes from the city’s recreation impact fees, which are earmarked for use on recreationrelated projects, and from the local small-county surtax.

The bathrooms will altogether cost up to $976,710, including a $46,510 contingency. The lighting at the sports fields is expected

to cost up to $547,050, including a $26,050 contingency.

The lights at Indian Trails will illuminate three fields that currently can’t be used after dark, raising the facility’s capacity.

“With the expansion of the fields in the last few years, the tournament play has increased substantially,” Mayor Milissa Holland said at the meeting. “You can really see a direct correlation.”

During the meeting’s public comment period, several residents objected, asking why the money couldn’t instead be used for safety improvements like street lights and sidewalks.

“One of the pillars of public safety is lighting,” resident Ed Fuller said. “And I’m glad to see that we’re going to get lights for that field. ... But I’d like to know where we are at lighting the corridors. ... We are an outdoor community — it’s certainly designed that way — and lighting is an integral part of safety for our citizens.”

Holland said the city has allocated $100,000 to have a study done to evaluate where lights and sidewalks are needed. The city can can only move forward once that information comes in.

“I don’t think there’s a single person on this council who has not made that a priority,” she said.

“Within this year, we want to see a substantial improvement made on our streets and sidewalks.”

“With the expansion of the fields in the last few years, the tournament play has increased substantially.”

SPORTS Beyond the glory

Why players risk injuries for semipro football.

T The Pirates sent 11 student-athletes to states.

A TRACK + FIELD STATE OF MIND Local high school athletes prepare to finish the season strong at state meet.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

Both Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas were stunned after regionals last year. The Pirates failed to send anyone to states, and the Bulldogs only sent four.

But this year was different for Matanzas.

Led by their five state qualifiers, the Lady Pirates placed third in the Region 2-3A Meet on Saturday, April 29. That was a school best for them.

“I knew we were doing well, but I didn’t know we were doing that well,” said Danny Weed, the Pirates’ head track coach. “So it feels great, especially after what happened last year.”

The Pirates were led by senior Kylie Dahlberg, who won the 800-meter run by .07 seconds and clinched her first region title.

She also helped win the 4x800 relay with Isabella Rodriguez, Rain Marti and Morgan Sharman.

“I was scared I wasn’t even going to get out of that race, because I was ranked eighth,” Dahlberg said.

Including boys, Matanzas is sending 11 total to states, which is a school record and caused Weed to call this year his teams’ best year thus far.

“We focus on the postseason,” Weed said. “We’re here for the outcomes in the postseason, so this is great.”

PEPPIN WINS FPC’S ONLY REGION TITLE

On April 27, FPC senior Michael Peppin won his first region title, in the discus throw.

Peppin placed eighth in the state last season, which was the highest any Bulldog had placed for the discus throw. He received congratulations from his parents, teammates and most of his coaches — except one.

FPC assistant coach Steve Collier casually shook his hand and congratulated him. Peppin had expected more, so he texted him that night and asked Collier why there was a lack of enthusiasm.

“His response was, ‘I’m happy you placed eighth, but I know you can do better,’” Peppin said. “And now this year, I’m doing things I’ve never done before because of his coaching.”

Whether it’s Peppin, Dahlberg or others who finished Top 4 at regionals to qualify for state, everyone is hoping for a podium finish (Top 6).

“This year, I’m doing things I’ve never done before because of his coaching.”

he Flagler Knights semipro football program recently shut down, and part of me had to ask why anyone would play in such a league to begin with, risking serious injuries to play in near-vacant stadiums, for free. Then I read Jeff Harvell’s recent Facebook post about his Knights experience.

Harvell’s post included this statement: “For most of my adult life, I let a fear of failure stop me from straying too far from my comfort zone. I had talked about putting the pads back on for over a decade, but I intentionally set unattainable conditions to justify not doing it.

I went so far as to try out 10 years ago to a similar league in Jacksonville, only to talk myself out of it afterwards.”

Harvell joined the Knights this past season at 34, becoming the oldest player on the team.

He broke his hand in the first game of the season and was sidelined. Reluctant to quit, Harvell waited for two months and played in the season finale, helping Flagler clinch its division with a win. He said that if he could wait 17 years to play again, he could wait two months to recover.

Harvell and the Knights lost in the second round of the playoffs April 29, but Harvell had accomplished one of his life goals.

“By getting out of my comfort zone and doing something difficult, I have found happiness and fulfillment I wouldn’t have known existed had I not taken that chance,” Harvell said.

For Harvell, it wasn’t about trying to make it to the NFL, make money or see thousands in the stands. Harvell wanted to play football again — and he did.

When he walked off the field for the last time, after a 17-year gap, Harvell walked off with no regrets and into the arms of a wife and daughter who were proud to have seen their man step out of his comfort zone and fulfill his dream.

Matanzas comes from behind to beat crosstown rival FPC The Pirates end their regular season with a walk-off win over crosstown rival FPC. JEFF DAWSEY

SEASON OVER

SPORTS EDITOR

“We’re on top now!” Matanzas junior Bobby Sparling declared after leading the Pirates to their first season sweep over crosstown rivals Flagler Palm Coast.

The Pirates (11-13) defeated the Bulldogs (9-15) 3-2 Thursday, April 27, at Matanzas.

“It definitely feels great, especially against them,” Sparling said. “I’ve played against them for three years now. There has been a lot of pain and misery until now.

We got ’em twice this year.”

After three scoreless innings, the Bulldogs got on the board with a run in the top of the fourth inning. Down to the their last four outs of the game, Pirates Ryan Thomas and Logan Wells hit two consecutive triples to tie the game. Then Corey Betts singled to send Wells home for the 2-1 lead, heading to the final inning.

At the top of the seventh, Emerson Cheney scored for the Bulldogs to tie the game at 2-2. But in the last inning of the game, with runners on first and second base,

The Pirates’ season ended with a 14-2 loss to Seabreeze on Monday, May 1, at Daytona State College.

Sparling knocked a single, allowing the second-base runner to reach home plate for the walkoff win.

“Well, we had lost four in a row and weren’t feeling good about ourselves,” Sparling said, “so we really needed it.”

“We should feel fortunate, considering the fact that they had a lead-off runner on in almost every inning,” head coach Jim Perry said. “And we kind of got out of sorts on defense. But, when you’re trying to build a championship program, you have to have a championship atmosphere, and that’s what it was today.”

Earlier in the season, Matanzas beat FPC for the first time at FPC, and yesterday’s win made it a first that Matanzas swept the Bulldogs.

Owen Cuthbert makes a double play late in the game against FPC.

BRIAN McMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

A photograph of a young woman with green eyes was the starting point. The end result, after 12thgrader Ta’Neil Cargill manipulated the image in her digital art class at Flagler Palm Coast High School, was a first-place ribbon at the student art show on April 26.

During the reception on the second-floor balcony of the Daytona Beach News-Journal Center, Cargill said that by duplicating features of the face of the young woman (downloaded from a free stock-image website) and then adding images of leaves, she hoped to show the connections between innocence and youth, nature and beauty.

Also, she said, “I wanted her to look not just innocent, but strong.

It’s a feminist piece.”

Ta’Neil Cargill, left, senior at FPC, won first place at the student art show.

That depth of thought is evidence of the value of the arts in school, according to Ed Beckett, her teacher at FPC. “The next generation of employable people is creative problem solvers,” he said, referencing ideas in a book called “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future,” by Daniel H. Pink.

Cargill was one of four students honored for their accom-

plishments. Cassidy Jackson was awarded Best in Show for her digital image, which appears to be a planter hanging from a light post.

But the angle is extreme, shot from directly below the planter, making it almost unrecognizable, a woven object haloed by tips of flowers. In her art, Jackson, a sophomore in Angela Biggs’ class at FPC, made an ordinary object look extraordinary.

Chelsea Schlaffer, who is the third of the three art teachers at the high school, said the students’ creativity inspires her. She said the art classes are valuable because they provide “an easy place to share ideas and express yourself. There’s no wrong way to do it, so that’s a safe place for a lot of kids.”

In addition, Schlaffer said, “I don’t think people realize how many jobs are in the arts. Being creative can take you far. Businesses want creative people.”

EXECUTIVE EDITOR

If the City Council agrees with the Planning Board’s recommendation, a 17.5-acre triangle of land that is currently zoned for multifamily homes would be rezoned to allow for 50 single-family homes, on Londonderry Drive about 800 feet north of Matanzas Woods Parkway.

The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board held a community meeting April 12, with all neighbors living within 300 feet of the proposed Matanzas Lakes development having been invited to attend. One resident attended; others made phone calls. Residents were in favor of the change, according to the staff report.

The Planning Board, which noted that most of the rest of the neighborhood is already zoned for single-family homes, approved the proposal on April 19, sending its recommendation to the City Council, which is scheduled to

MATANZAS LAKES Current zoning  Multifamily  650-square-foot minimum living area  50-foot maximum building height

have two hearings on the subject: one in May and one in June.

In 2007, a developer proposed a 120-unit condominium for the land, but it did not move forward for a variety of reasons, according to the staff report.

The Matanzas Lakes proposal also includes sidewalks and recreation areas. There would be one entry point, and it would be via Londonderry Drive.

‘I feel like I helped give a life back to a dog’ Three dogs have received prosthetic legs, thanks to the students at i3 Academy on FPC campus.

Owner Cailin Kaklamanos gives Zeus a treat as teacher Courtney VandeBunte steadies the dog for a fitting for a prosthetic leg.

had sought candidates for the project through veterinarians around the state.

Cailin saw a story about it when researching ways to help her dog and contacted VandeBunte, the science and art teacher who leads the Anatomy of Design class.

Cailin drives from her Tallahassee home with her family to meet with the class.

the classroom. It could have been done sooner but there were printer problems.

Cailin said Zeus is a mix of Labrador retriever and great Swiss mountain dog, so he is bigger than the average Lab. She has to keep his weight down because he only has three legs.

“He gets tuckered out,” she said. “He’s very active and that makes him tired after walking.”

Her mother, Keely, pointed out that when Zeus lifts his back leg, when nature calls, he is very unsteady, balancing on two legs, and sometimes even falls.

VandeBunte said the class

‘HE GETS TUCKERED OUT’

Measurements were taken last fall, and the students then designed the parts of the leg and printed them on 3-D printers in

incorporated a spring and tennis ball into the design, to absorb the dog’s weight.

Student Noah Pulaski said the class was fun and he felt good about the end result.

“I feel like I helped give a life back to a dog,” he said.

Rafael Alves agreed, saying he put himself in the dog’s position, imagining what it would be like to miss a leg.

“It feels good,” he said.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Champ, the dog that received a leg last year, was very energetic,

Zeus, a 2-year-old black Lab, said hello to everyone in the classroom, walking up to the students on his three legs with tail wagging and brown eyes shining. He was at the Anatomy of Design class at Flagler Palm Coast High School on May 1 to be fitted for a prosthetic leg.

The happy and healthy dog was much different when his owner, Cailin Kaklamanos, found him at an animal rescue. After being hit by a car, he lost his leg and was abandoned by his first owners.

Now, after being brought back to health, his new owner hopes a new leg will give him a better life.

At first Cailin wasn’t sure about adopting Zeus, who was sickly, but when she visited the rescue site over the next few weeks, Zeus always followed her around. She decided she had to have him.

“I fell in love with this dog,” she said.

Last year, the Anatomy of Design class, which is part of the i3 Academy at the school, designed a prosthetic leg for a 3-year-old German shepherd named Champ for a family in Green Cove Springs.

and still gets along very well on three legs. VandeBunte said the owners only place the leg on him for long walks.

But she said that Zeus is the best candidate yet for a prosthetic.

“He needs it,” she said. “And he listens (to his owner).”

Zeus is the third recipient.

Last week, Elsa, a German shepherd, was fitted for a leg. The owner, from Jacksonville, also sought out the class after seeing last year’s story.

Both he and Zeus will both need some physical therapy to get the best use of their new legs.

VandeBunte instructed Cailin and her family how to get Zeus used to the new leg, such as handing him a treat in a way that makes him lean on the new leg.

Cailin has done a lot for the dog already, and now seems committed to working with him for a new life with four legs.

The Anatomy of Design class is part of the i3 Academy, which stands for “Institute for Integrated Investigations.” It’s a “new tech” approach to education where students work as a team in a project-based learning system.

VandeBunte said the academy integrates modern skills, such as collaboration and communication, with state academic standards. There are currently 140 students over four grade levels at the school. In the class, the students design products related to human or animal anatomy and create them with 3-D printers.

The African American Mentoring Program recognized Sheryl Lewis as its mentor of the year on April 27. Lewis has been with the program for eight years and now mentors five students. She organized the African American Women in Careers Tour and is the financial officer for the mentoring program.

When her daughter died, Lewis and her husband, Joe, started the Jamese King Memorial Scholarship. This was the second year they have awarded a scholarship.

There are 37 girls of all ages this year in the AAMP for Girls, with three being awarded scholarships. Seven seniors graduated: Amossi Miller, Dajah Steward, Deidra Burkley, Doctashia Ford, Faizah Holmes, Felicity Rollins and Skye Mills.
