Palm Coast: Weeks still has not cooperated

Flagler County’s own version of the hit TV show, “The Amazing Race” will hit the streets of Flagler this Saturday, March 1, with group challenges and clues throughout the county.

The Great Flagler Race is not a foot race, but rather an adventure race game stretching from The Hammock to Bunnell and Flagler Beach to Palm Coast.

Each team of five, ages 13 and up, will travel throughout Flagler to earn points for completing challenges, and there will be Easter eggs to collect all along the way. The winning team will receive cash and sponsored prizes.

All participants will be given a consolation prize bag of small sponsor gifts and a T-shirt.

The race will begin and end at the European Village.

Cost of play is $5 per person. Register and pay by Thursday, Feb. 27. Payments can be made thru PayPal at TheGreatFlaglerRace@gmail. com.

+ World War II veterans honored The Flagler County Commission presented a proclamation to three World War II veterans. The proclamation set aside Sunday, Feb. 16, as a day to honor the World War II Veterans of Flagler County.

Veterans George Hatzenbuhler, Lee Marshall and Ian Mackenzie, all three pilots during World War II and now residents of Flagler County, were on hand to receive the proclamation.

The proclamation was also presented by Flagler County Commission Chairman George Hanns to some 25 veterans at the Gratitude America Retreat Feb. 16 at Marineland’s Whitney Hall for post 9/11 veterans.

“It is an honor to be able to present these proclamations to our veterans,” Hanns said.

The six-laning of Palm Coast Parkway is scheduled to begin Monday, city officials said.

The project, which will widen Palm Coast Coast Parkway from four lanes to six, will stretch about 1.2 miles, from Cypress Point Parkway to Florida Park Drive.

Daytona Beach-based P & S Paving Inc. will do the work, which will includes construct-

ing 8-foot-wide pedestrian walkways on both sides of Palm Coast Parkway. New turning lanes at Cypress Point Parkway will also be added, as well as 458 trees.

The total contract amount is $10.5 million. The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2015.

Motorists and other travelers should expect nighttime lane closures along Palm Coast Park-

way between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Monday through Friday.

In two months, the city would need to prepare to conduct its own election.

The 2014 city elections are looming, and Palm Coast still doesn’t know if it’s going to have to conduct its own election or if Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Kimberle Weeks will include the two City Council seats on the county ballot.

At least that’s what city officials said at Tuesday morning’s workshop.

City Councilman Bill McGuire again brought up the issue during the non-agenda items portion of the meeting.

“There’s a rumor the city of Palm Coast is going to hold an election this year,” McGuire said, asking for more information.

City Attorney Bill Reischmann reiterated that his office and the city clerk’s office have been working “very diligently” to try and have the 2014 elections conducted by Weeks’ office.

Should the city have to conduct its own election, though, officials are concerned over the cost and the inconvenience for taxpayers and voters. Volunteers and temporary employees might have to be hired. Current employees might have to take on elections responsibilities instead of the work they’re currently handling.

“The negative impact on the voters of this community would be immeasurable,” Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts said.

Among the issues being disputed is whether an item on the 2011 election should be considered valid. On that ballot, citizens of Palm Coast overwhelmingly approved moving City Council elections from odd years to even years, which would synchronize them with county, state and national elections.

However, Weeks informed the city in 2013 that state law requires such a vote to be held “at the next general election …

WINGS OVER FLAGLER

Demand at the clinic, which serves the uninsured, has remained high despite Obamacare.

WNZF and Palm Coast dissolve ties

Free Clinic expands hours The Flagler County Free Clinic has expanded its hours because of high demand and an increased number of medical providers volunteering their time to help.

“You hate to have people standing in line for a walk-in clinic at 4 or 4:30 in the morning, but it seems there’s always at least somebody there,” said Michaelyn Milidantri, a Free Clinic volunteer and vice–president of the clinic’s board.

The clinic is now open for patients with appointments the first four Thursdays of each month, and for walk-in patients on the first and third Saturday of each month, Milidantri said.

It has about 100 medical providers — doctors, nurses, dentists and “the whole gamut of medical professionals” — who volunteer their time to help,

SAND PLAN

HOW TO GET HELP The Flagler County Free Clinic is located at 700 E. Moody Blvd. in Bunnell.

For more information, go to flaglercountyfreeclinic.com.

To make an appointment, call 437-3091.

she said.

The clinic serves people with no health insurance who make less than 200% of the federal poverty level, which is currently $11,670 for a single person or $23,850 for a family of four.

Impact of federal, state plans

The Flagler County Free Clinic has not had a noticeable drop in patients since the Affordable Care Act went into effect, Milidantri said.

The clinic needs general volunteers for miscellaneous tasks, and dental assistant volunteers to help with tooth extractions on Friday afternoons. Call 437-3091 or visit flaglercountyfreeclinic.com/ pdfs.html.

Part of the reason, she said, might be that people below the poverty line don’t qualify for Affordable Care Act tax credits that are available to low-income people above the poverty line.

“If people earn less than about $15,300, the idea was that they’d be eligible for Medicaid,” she said. “But Florida did not expand the Medicaid program, so they don’t qualify for the benefits.”

The health care law provides tax credits to reduce the monthly premiums of people making between the poverty level and four times the poverty level. It provides no tax credits for people making below the poverty level, who, under the act, were supposed to be covered by an expanded Medicaid program. But in a ruling that upheld the health care law, the Supreme Court also ruled that states could not be forced to expand Medicaid, and many, including Florida, did not.

And plenty of local people making less than the poverty level, but who are not eligible for Medicaid, are still streaming into the Free Clinic.

“We are trying to open up more and more to see additional patients,” Milidantri said.

“It’s an ongoing goal, to be able to help out more often.”

Army Corps: Even a category-1 hurricane could inundate A1A The FDOT already spends $1.5 million a year to maintain a revetment to protect the road.

The Army Corps of Engineers’ map of northeast Florida is crisscrossed with green, yellow, orange and red lines overlaying one another like the slice marks on a cutting board — too many to count — each representing a hurricane or tropical storm that passed within 50 miles of Flagler County between 1958 and 2008.

Those frequent storms, the Corps says, are one reason renourishment is important: Right now, storm surge from any direct hit by a hurricane, even a category-1 storm, could wash over State Road A1A. Sand helps provide a buffer.

The road, the sole northsouth hurricane evacuation for people living on much of the barrier island, is threatened by continuing erosion.

Communities and the state have tried to push back the sea with revetments, sea walls and breakwaters, some of them funded by the Florida Department of Transportation, which spends about $1.5 million per year maintaining a shrinking 9,000-foot-long granite revetment between Seventh Street South and 23rd Street South in Flagler Beach, according to the Army Corps report.

But the Florida Department of Transportation’s jurisdiction ends about 50 feet away from the roadway.

The Army Corps has presented a more comprhensive approach: dredging 330,000 cubic yards of sand from offshore borrow sites and pumping it onto the beach between Seventh Street and 28th Street in Flagler Beach to extend the dune seaward 10 feet.

After the initial construction, the Army Corps would return once every 11 years or so and add another 330,000 cubic yards of sand. Over 50 years, according to the Army Corps report, the project would cost

Tropical storms and hurricanes within 50 miles of Flagler County between 1958 and 2008. Image from the Army Corps of Engineers draft study on Flagler County hurricane and storm damage. about $43,465,000, of which $23,852,050 would be paid by the federal government. The Flagler County-area infrastructure threatened by erosion, including A1A, is worth about $340 million, according to the Army Corps report.

The plan hasn’t gotten rave reviews from local government officials, many of whom have called it less than ideal but better than nothing.

Flagler Beach commissioners, in particular, have hoped for alternatives that wouldn’t involve a Sisyphean process of continually adding sand as it’s washed away by storms and the natural processes that shape the county’s shoreline.

They’ve looked into some, including groins and “undercurrent stabilizers” designed to help trap sand along the beach.

But in its Flagler County study, the Army Corps ranked a series of potential “structural measures” to combat erosion, grading each on its impact on national economic development, regional economic development, environmental impact and other social effects.

Beach renourishment got the highest number of points, because, according to the report, it would protect the A1A evacuation route while extend-

See palmcoastobserver.com for links to the original sources. ing the berm for recreation and likely helping the local tourism industry, and because it could be economically justified at the federal level and would be easy to adjust to sea level rise.

Of the other alternatives, undercurrent stabilizers got the lowest number, in part because they could trap hatching sea turtles and would be difficult to justify economically because they haven’t been proven to work in an environment similar to Flagler Beach.

Emergent breakwaters got low points because they could pose a navigational hazard and might look unsightly. Submerged artificial reefs were deemed a potential threat to swimmers, and not easily adaptable to rising sea levels. Groins could help protect Oceanshore Boulevard, but

would only benefit a few select areas, and could be a sea turtle hazard.

The Corps has extensive experience with beach renourishment projects, including one that revitalized Miami Beach’s beachfront and tourism in the 1980s, and another along a stretch of coast in Virginia Beach that has been built up 49 times since 1951, according to an NPR report.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has extended the public comment period on the plan to March 15.

Flagler Broadcasting and the city of Palm Coast have agreed to discontinue their partnership with Rock ’n’ Rib Fest.

And so, the event will no longer be held at Town Center under the auspices of the city; instead, this year, the Flagler County Airport will host a concert in conjunction with another returning event, April 25 and April 26: Blue Sky Yakrobatics’ Wings Over Flagler.

“Rock ’n’ Rib Fest ran its course,” said David Ayres, general manager of the radio station. “It brought the community together and was the biggest party of the year, but now the city is going their way with their events, and we’re going our way. ...

We have amicably dissolved our relationship with the city of Palm Coast in putting on events.”

The new event will be called Wings Over Flagler: Rock the Runways. Bill and Kim Mills, who recently moved their business, Technology By Design, from Alabama to the Flagler County Airport, also hosted Wings Over Flagler in years past. Last year, the event was canceled.

“We are thrilled that it will be coming back,” Bill Mills said on “Free For All Friday,” Feb. 21. A portion of the proceeds will benefit a scholarship foundation in honor of William “Wild Bill” Walker, who was killed in a crash at the 2011 Wings Over Flagler event. Ayers said a portion of the radio’s proceeds will benefit Flagler Adult and Community Education.

“The county’s role is as a sponsor by providing the assets of the airport,” County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin said. “We’re just real excited that Bill Mills was able to team up with David Ayres and WNZF to resurrect Wings Over Flagler.”

McLaughlin said the event is a great one for the community. “We anticipate it to be well attended. We hope we can continue this in the coming years,” he said.

Ayres noted that Blue Sky Yakrobatics was involved in Rock’n’ Rib fest in the past. “At sunset, you did a flyover,” he said on the air while speaking with Bill Mills. “One person looks up and points, and then a thousand people are pointing. It gave you goose bumps.”

Mills said he is planning an even bigger flyover this year, from four planes to eight or 12.

Seafood Festival canceled

Ayres also learned recently of a Feb. 6 memo in which the city explains that it will no longer partner with the radio station for the annual Seafood Festival at Town Center.

“We are currently evaluating all of our special events and deciding which ones are the best fit for Palm Coast,” Palm Coast Parks and Recreation Director Luciana Santangelo wrote. “Then we will invest in those events to make them as high quality as possible.”

The city plans to move the International Food and Wine Festival to October, Santangelo wrote.

“Because the decision to discontinue Rock ’n’ Rib was made just this week, there simply isn’t enough time to plan an alternate major event by April,” she continued. “So we will skip it this year. We are in the early stages of planning an exciting new event — that would likely be held each February — so stay tuned for details!”

The city holds 75 events yearround. The next major city-sponsored event is the Arbor Day Celebration on May 3.

“It’s still the law that I can breastfeed, and there are no repercussions if anything should happen to show,” she said.

“It’s wrong to tell someone they can’t feed their hungry baby.”

cracking the case By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

Carjacker leads Man arrested on drug charges threatens to sue cops on 100 mph car chase A suspected carjacker fleeing deputies smashed a stolen Toyota Corolla into three palm trees at the Interstate 95 entrance ramp from Palm Coast Pa r k w a y early Sunday morning, and he kept on going, ditching the car and taking off Dyson Anthony on foot.

Graham A sheriff’s dog named Kaos found 24-yearold Jacksonville resident Dyson Anthony Graham, grabbing ahold of him as he hid under a dumpster outside the Golden Corral on Cypress Edge Drive, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release.

The armed carjacking was Wednesday night, at the Florida Mall in Orlando. St. Johns County deputies recognized the stolen, black 2009 Corolla early Sunday morning, and the chase began.

The car led deputies south on I-95 at up to 115 mph, according to a charging affidavit. It entered Flagler County at about 4 a.m. Sunday, and Flagler Coun-

ty Sheriff’s Office deputies were waiting with stop-sticks when it left the highway for Palm Coast Parkway, according to the news release.

But the driver avoided the stop-sticks, continuing across Palm Coast Parkway to get back onto the interstate. Then he lost control, striking the trees, and took off running.

When deputies got to the car, though, it wasn’t empty. Inside, they found a 16-year-old girl who had been reported missing in Hillsborough County. In the car’s open center console was a loaded .32 caliber revolver, according to a charging affidavit.

Deputies will charge the girl with possession of stolen property, according to the news release.

Graham was charged with possession of stolen property, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm and resisting arrest without violence. He might face additional charges.

He has at least six past felony convictions on charges including burglary, larceny, carrying a concealed weapon and posession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to the charging affidavit.

An early Sunday-morning traffic stop escalated into a drug arrest involving multiple deputies and a suspect who threatened to sue the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, saying he’d been racially profiled and that deputies hurt him during the arrest.

D e p u t y Isaac Brown George Hristakopoulos was on patrol in his cruiser at about 1 a.m. Sunday when he noticed a man — who he recognized as John Eric Hayden — riding a bicycle at the intersection of East Booe Street and South Pine Street.

But Hayden had no lights on the bike, Hristakopoulos wrote in his report, and there was another man riding on the handlebars, which is illegal in Florida.

Hristakopoulos turned his patrol car’s lights and siren on, and pulled over the bicycle. Hayden stepped off the cycle, and the second man hopped off the handlebars. Hristakopoulos told the two men why he’d stopped them, according to the report.

As he did, he noticed that the handlebar-rider kept his left hand in his left front pocket. He also acted nervous, Hristakopoulos wrote in his report, and said he’d done nothing wrong and was being racially profiled.

Seconds later, Hristakopoulos

wrote, another deputy showed up for backup. Hristakopoulos asked the second deputy to stand near the handle-bar rider, who then said his name was Isaac Brown.

Hristakopoulos asked Brown to take his hand out of his pocket, and he did.

Hristakopoulos began speaking with Hayden but kept his eyes on Brown, who repeatedly looked down at his pocket, the deputy wrote. Then he slipped his hand into his pocket again, and the second deputy told him to take his hand out of his pocket or he’d be handcuffed.

Brown took his hand out again, but then he reached back in once more and pulled out two “small, chalk-like cubes,” and dropped them on the ground in front of his feet, according to the report. The deputy recognized them as “crack rocks.”

The second deputy handcuffed Brown, who “repeatedly pulled away” from him, according to the report.

Hristakopoulos “pushed the two several feet away from the evidence” — the rocks Brown had dropped on the ground — “in order to ensure that Mr. Brown would not destroy the evidence,” according to the report.

A third deputy arrived and field-tested the rocks, and they tested positive for cocaine, according to the report. A fourth deputy arrived and stood next to Hayden, who consented to a search and emptied his pockets,

according to the report.

Hristakopoulos gave Hayden a verbal warning about having an adult riding on his handlebars on a public roadway and told him he was free to go.

Then he arrested Brown, he wrote, for possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence.

On the way to the Flagler County jail, Hristakopoulos wrote, Brown said he was innocent and that the deputies had only released Hayden because Hayden was white. Hristakopoulos said that wasn’t the case.

At the jail, Brown said he didn’t feel well, and Hristakopoulos took him to Florida Hospital Flagler.

Once there, Brown told hospital staff that his left shoulder hurt and that deputies had injured it, according to the report.

Hospital staff X-rayed Brown’s shoulder and found nothing wrong with it, according to the report.

But Brown said he’d take legal action against Hristakopoulos, anyway, as well as the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

Brown was returned to jail after medical clearance, according to the report.

According to jail records, he has been arrested multiple times since 2008 on charges including cocaine possession, resisting arrest without violence, illegally carrying a concealed weapon, shoplifting and assaulting a law enforcement officer.

QUALITY TIME?

By Brian McMillan | Executive Editor

How to shop like a real spy, for $1 When you’re an adult, there’s nothing worse than having no money in your pocket.

But when you’re a kid, it’s the opposite: Having unspent money is like torture. You will be haunted until you spend it on something — anything.

We went to the dollar store recently, and Grant, 7, was having a difficult time spendBRIAN MCMILLAN ing his dollar bill fast enough. I talked him out of a few things, and then he finally went with a fingerprinting

set made especially for spies.

As soon as we were out of the store, he tore open the box, but after much persuasion, he agreed to wait until we got home to open the fingerprinting powder. We sat down at the kitchen table and read the instructions and had some fun. Everyone in the family got their thumbs stamped in a small pad, and then I used a towel to carry a drinking glass to the table and set it upside down so we could test his skills.

I sent him out of the room so he wouldn’t know who was going to touch the glass, and then I planted a perfect thumbprint right on top. When he was summoned, he raced back in to begin the dusting and the lifting and the analysis.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t prove who the

culprit was. Everything looked smudged, from the ink prints to the lifting paper.

The outcome, of course, wasn’t very important. To me, the important thing was that we had been spending some quality time together. Much better than watching TV! But Grant was not pleased. He sat down with a long face and said, “What a waste of a dollar.”

In his eyes, spending money should yield a clear result, but instead the almighty dollar had betrayed him. And so, we all learned two important lessons in life. First, once you spend your money, you don’t get it back. And, second, there is a reason why you never see spies shopping at the dollar store.

LETTERS EDITOR TO THE

+ Schools lose autonomy when they accept state funds Dear Editor: Laughing sadly that Flagler Schools “competed” for federally funded datacollection and evaluation representatives and have labeled these workers “teacher support staff.”

The Sustainable Education Evaluation and Compensation project that a SEEC representative said will focus on “improved measurement and tracking this coming year” is so removed from supporting teachers in helping students learn the basic skills of acquiring, evaluating and applying knowledge that we’re micromeasuring before teaching and learning can take place. Even worse, more recordkeeping, data-entry and paperwork will be heaped on teachers, which will reduce their time for direct observation and interaction with students.

Years ago, my mother said, “The minute the schools accept a federal (state) dollar, they’ve surrendered their autonomy.”

Now we have the unimaginable reality that schools compete for an additional layer of federal data buracracy. Welcome to the Matrix.

Karen Jacobs Bunnell

+ Accept Army Corps’ solution Dear Editor: It never ceases to amaze me how individuals can form opinions without researching the facts. A recent letter to the Palm Coast Observer by Ms. Bellin appears to be one case in point regarding the project proposed by the Army Corps for beach renourishment of the Flagler County beaches Ms. Bellin asks the public to reject the proposal as wasteful. That suggestion is without foundation or merit. I suggest that the public read the entire 300-page report that took years of research and data accumulation, and then form an opinion.

The proposed project is over a 10-year period to try and maintain the valuable natural resource of our beaches.

It would be very easy to armchair-quarterback an opinion that anything done to try and thwart the effects of Mother Nature is a waste of time. However, doing nothing at all is not an option.

We would like to believe that there should be a guaranteed means of protecting the natural erosion of our beaches, but there is not. The city of Flagler Beach pursued one such proposed means of permanent beach protection only to discover that it had no foundation.

Do the proper research or due diligence, then form your own conclusions. If you should come upon a better solution, please share it with us. Maintaining the majestic splendor of our beaches is in the best interest of all property owners.

+ Red light cams violate rights Dear Editor: No one is above the law. Unfortunately,

WOUNDED WARRIORGATE

+ What really matters to vets Dear Editor: This uprising over the Wounded Warrior Project flag in the backyard of Grand Haven needs to stop.

Let’s point out the obvious: 1. Grand Haven is a semi-exclusive community with its own homeowners association. If you don’t like the rules, don’t buy there. (Veterans sacrificed for you to choose where to live, not to be used like this.)

2. There is nothing saying this gentleman cannot fly his flag. He just can’t fly it in the backyard. The backyard only allows for government-approved flags.

3. Wounded Warrior Project is a private, nonprofit 501(c) organization.

I am sure those three points flew over many people’s heads, because frankly, America (and Flagler) is too busy chanting “U-S-A” at ballgames and grilling hot dogs and slinging beers at the Memorial Day barbecue.

This flag issue is a classic example of an America that is out of touch with today’s military. We certainly appreciate the support, but instead of believing that we care about a flag like this, why not ask us the issues we would like for you to stand up and help us defend and advocate for?

As a 26-year Flagler County resident who now lives in Washington state while my wife serves in the U.S. Army, these are the issues that matter to us: 1. Health care. There is a universal concern over our health care, but mental health is the big one. We are losing too many veterans and active duty service members to suicide. Quality help at both a military treatment facility and the Veterans Affairs are hard to come by.

Proper care could help keep families together, as well.

2. Retirement. The budget deal passed in December takes away approximately $84,000 from a 20-year enlisted retiree and $103,000 from someone who retires as an officer.

3. Jobs. Veterans have a really hard time transitioning from military life to civilian life (high rate of homelessness Mr. Nilsen cannot have it both ways or his argument falls apart.

If “the law is the law,” then it is being broken first and foremost by our local and state government installing and utilizing the cameras in the first place.

Government and its agents are not protected by the Constitution. They are accountable to it. It is the leash by which we keep them at heel.We, the people, own all of the property, both public and private, in the United States. Government is merely an agent on our behalf.

I can surveil my private property any way I see fit, short of violating the Constitution. Our government cannot do so without a warrant issued by a judge.

Just as the authorities cannot place

amongst vets, as well). Jobs are also a concern for military spouses. Most companies are not interested in hiring someone who will only be in that location for two to four years, moving at the Department of Defense’s every whim.

There is also a serious issue facing military spouses with specific licenses, like teachers, lawyers, health care, etc.

By the time a professional recertifies in each state they move to, it could be time for them to move again.

4. Marital entitlements. Stand on whichever side of the same-sex-marriage fence you want, but how can we tell someone who stands by and watches the love of their life deploy (and possibly die) that they do not get any benefits?

I could go on and on with a list of issues that actually matter to military families, but something tells me most of you think that our homecomings resemble that Budweiser Super Bowl ad, and whatever I say will fall on deaf ears/ eyes. Let me assure you, that is not what it is like at all.

In the 45 months since my wife enlisted in the Army, she has been gone more than half of them, missing out on more memories than I care to think about.

We are Flagler County homeowners with homestead exemption that are also registered to vote in Flagler County (are you reading this, Congressman DeSantis?), although we have lived in Texas, Kansas and now Washington in those 45 months.

We are your average American military family. And while I won’t dare speak for my wife, I will say loudly: I can care less about that dumb Wounded Warrior flag. I would use it as toilet paper if I had to — something I wouldn’t do with the flags he is allowed to fly in his backyard.

If you really want to have a conversation about what matters to American military families, ask us. And if you really want to support us, get to know us.

Get to know what we need.

By establishing and utilizing a camera to issue tickets, the authorities are implying that they have already clearly articulated probable cause to you or a judge before a violation of any kind has occurred.

Future crimes? Without cause?

So, I’m with you 100%, Mr. Nilsen! We are a nation of laws and not men. And laws not based in the Constitution are not laws at all, but tyranny.

Too much information 9:21 a.m., 5000 block of State Road 100. Fraud.

A deputy drove out to a local car dealership after a dealership employee complained of a fraud.

The employee said that a man had come in with preapproval for a new pickup truck. The employee verified the approval with the finance company.

He completed the sale paperwork and released the car to the customer.

But then the finance company called: The man, only approved for one car, had already used the loan at a different dealership — several, actually — and the finance company wouldn’t make payment on the loan.

After the employee contacted the Sheriff’s Office to report the truck as stolen, the “customer” was easy enough to track down: He had listed all his personal information — correctly, and with a copy of his driver’s license — on the sale paperwork for the truck.

When a deputy gave him a call, the man said he didn’t believe the deputy was actually a deputy, and hung up on him. The next time the deputy called, he said he had purchased the vehicles to “replace the fleet vehicle” for his boss, whom he wouldn’t name.

The deputy looked up the man’s home address, provided by the car dealership employee, and handed the information over to a law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over the town the man lives in.

And just what were you doing with these, dear?

2:23 p.m. First block of Slocum Path. Verbal disturbance.

A man called the Sheriff’s Office and told deputies a woman was screaming at her husband and beating on his truck with a pair of handcuffs.

When the witness tried to stop her, she knocked him across the face with the cuffs.

Then, he said, she yelled at her husband some more and drove off.

When deputies arrived, the man who’d been clobbered across the face with the handcuffs didn’t have any visible injuries. He declined to give a written statement and said he didn’t want to pursue the case.

Neither did the husband. The handcuffs caused minor damage to the truck, which was a marital asset.

So the deputy called in a deputy with a police dog, and the dog’s sniffer confirmed the deputy’s suspicion.

The deputies searched the car, and found 48.5 grams of a “green leafy substance” that field-tested positive for marijuana.

Then they searched the driver, and found $1,459 cash in his left front pocket, and another $2,640 in his right front pocket.

As they took the man into custody, he asked what would happen to the car he’d been driving — his mother’s, not his.

The deputies told him it would be towed, and the man blurted out that there was even more money in the car, wadded up in a pair of sneakers.

Deputies found $6,000 inside the shoes, and charged the man with possession of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

INBRIEF

+ Bunnell reports increases in worker’s comp rate

+ Twelve-year-old girl charged in knife-threat assault A 12-year-old girl is accused of bringing a 12-inch kitchen knife to school in her book bag Tuesday and waving it at a 10-year-old boy at a bus stop, threatening to stab him, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office case report. Each child told deputies that the other had bullied them.

Deputies charged the girl with aggravated assault and improper display of a weapon. The knife was so large that it startled the girl’s father, who, after being called to the school by a deputy, took a look at it and said, “That’s a sword!”

Both children are students at Rymfire Elementary School. The girl was brought to Rymfire Assistant Principal Timothy King’s office. By the time a deputy arrived, according to the report, it was clear the girl had been crying.

King and Principal Paula Francis told the deputy they had asked the girl if she brought anything to school that she shouldn’t have, and she said no.

But when they asked to see inside her backpack, she didn’t want to let them look.

And when she did open it, the knife was clearly visible, they told the deputy.

The girl told them she didn’t know how the knife got there and said she hadn’t threatened anyone with it.

The boy told deputies that the girl picked on him every day at the bus stop.

He’d told his mother, he said, but no one else. He said the girl had pulled out the knife and threatened to stab him with it.

The girl accused the boy of bullying, saying he had picked on her daily at the bus stop but that she hadn’t told anyone. The school, King told the deputy, will open a bullying investigation. The deputy advised the district to conduct a threat assessment on the girl before allowing her to return to a district school.

In 2013, according to Tucker, “the penalty imposed was 158% of the normal premium,” and in 2014, it is 182% of the normal premium.

Bunnell’s worker’s compensation rates have risen dramatically since 2009 as a result of frequent claims, according to information provided to the Palm Coast Observer in a letter by Commissioner Elbert Tucker.

The city’s insurance company, Preferred Governmental Insurance Trust, began raising the city’s rates in 2010 and adding penalties, Tucker wrote.

ALL WET By Andrew O’Brien

Humane Society offers free spaying, neutering for pit bulls Gerdy’s tail thunks merrily against the legs of the caretakers at the Flagler Humane Society, as they struggle to stop her from kissing their faces and stand still for a photo. Finally, she does, arcing her neck high and smiling a toothy, doggy grin for the camera.

They want somebody to take her home, but it’s hard: Gerdy’s a pit bull mix.

So are about 60% of the dogs at the Flagler Humane Society, even though pit bulls and pit bull mixes only make up about 10% or so of the county’s pooch population, said shelter director Amy Wade-Carotenuto.

To help stem the tide, the shelter has rolled out a free spay and neuter program for pit bulls and pit bull mixes, funded by a $41,500 grant from PetSmart Charities.

Since January 2013, the Flagler Humane Society has fixed 513 dogs — all brought in by owners — with $18,327 of the grant money. It has until November to use the remaining $23,173 in grant money for this year. An additional $41,500 will be disbursed next year.

The cause of the shelter’s high pit bull population is two-fold: Pit bulls and pit bull mixes are about 25% of the dogs coming into the shel-

JUST THE PITS

Gerdy, an 8-year-old pit bull mix, shakes hands with Flagler Humane Society Director Amy Wade-Carotenuto on Feb. 25. ter and, according to WadeCarotenuto, “It just seems it takes them a little bit longer to find a perfect home. They’re a bit misunderstood. And they’re strong, so maybe not the perfect pet for everyone.”

It’s a problem for a lot of larger dogs.

“The little dogs get adopted so quickly. They’re just in very high demand,” Wade-Carotenuto said. “The big dogs in general, it takes them longer to get adopted than the little foofy dogs.”

Flagler County and its cities don’t have ordinances banning pit bulls or other breeds.

Such ordinances are illegal under state law, although a pit bull ban in Miami-Dade

Rosett, a 7-year-old female pit bull mix, is one of many up for adoption.

County was grandfathered in when the state law passed.

But pit bulls and pit bull mixes often run afoul of landlord restrictions. Many of the pit bulls and other big dogs at the Humane Society were surrendered by owners moving to places that don’t allow them.

To learn more about the Flagler Humane Society’s free spay and neuter program for pit bulls and pit bull mixes, call 445-1814 or go to flaglerhumanesociety.org/petsmart-grant.

The Flagler Humane Society also offers lowcost vaccinations for dogs that are not pit bulls or pit bull mixes. Rabies vaccinations are $12, canine distemper and bordetella vaccinations are each $15, and heartworm checks are $25.

“It’s such a shame that property owners, sometimes arbitrarily, say no pets, and they don’t even think about it,” she said. “They could be costing an animal its life.”

Fixing the dogs leads to fewer having unwanted pups that need homes, but it also leads to calmer adult dogs: Dogs that have been sterilized, in general, are easier to handle and less prone to behavior problems than dogs that haven’t been.

The Humane Society grant for spaying and neutering also covers free microchips and rabies vaccinations for people bringing in their dogs.

Improvements coming to ponds at I-95 interchange Motorists coming and going from the area will soon see a facelift to one of the community’s major gateways.

The city, county and the Florida Department of Transportation are working together to transform four detention ponds, at the Interstate 95 interchange at State Road 100, from dry areas to wet ponds. The city will then add a fountain in each pond, similar to the fountains in other ponds in the city.

The city has $60,000 for parkway beautification within its streets improvements fund for the fountains. That includes electrical and permit costs, too.

The state will pay for the pond work, city officials said.

When the state originally completed the interchange improvements in 2008, there were two issues the city wanted the state to address. The city is responsible for maintaining the detention areas. They were supposed to drain following rain, but the irrigation wasn’t up to par. And so, the city wasn’t able to mow the area, which left a “horrible first impression,” City Manager Jim Landon said.

The state also will now fund improvements to State Road 100, making right-turn lanes for motorists to head onto I-95. Currently, there are no turning lanes, and so when traffic lights are red, cars can’t turn onto the interstate.

“It’s a joint effort,” Landon said, noting that Flagler County Engineer Faith Alkathib has helped in the process. “It’s one of our major gateways into the community. We have installed our gateway signs, and then, with the area not being able to be maintained, it just looked bad.”

Play begins at Indoor Revolution As I walked up to Palm Coast’s new indoor soccer facility on Feb. 12, there was really only one thing I could think about.

I looked to my friend Ricky and said: “Dude, this is going to be a lot of running, isn’t it?”

Ricky had already played at Indoor Revolution, located off Utility Drive, a few times.

It just opened about two weeks ago.

“Suck it up,” Ricky replied, with complete seriousANDREW ness. “We need to win.”

O’BRIEN It’s one field, with a black fence set back about 2 feet from one sideline, and a wall with a few doors the same distance away from the field on the other side. There isn’t much room behind the goals, either, but enough room to take corner kicks. If the ball hits the ceiling, it’s a kick in from the side. One of the coolest parts of the field, though, is how people eating at Hungry Howie’s can watch the action unfold through the window in the unit next door.

It’s traditional Brazilian futsal. Owner Jayme Fernandes is Brazilian, after all.

There are boundaries, so players can’t knock it off the wall like hockey.

It’s also incredibly physical. There are no referees, so you might as well try and sneak in a tackle here and there.

Basically, it’s like a cage of creativity: players try rainbows, triple stopovers, bicycle kicks and moves so crafty that sometimes players stub their foot on the artificial surface and fall on their face. (I might have done that once or twice.)

But, man, it’s fun. We played for two hours on Wednesday night. There were about 15 people there to play pickup, so we divided into three teams. First to two goals stays on the pitch. Loser sits.

Our team lost the first two games, but then we went on to win about six in a row. Maybe more. I lost count while trying to keep track of the number of goals I was scoring.

The plan for Indoor Revolution is to begin leagues in March.

It’s also huge for the area high school and club teams.

Rich Weber, boys soccer coach at Matanzas High School and part of PDA Florida, said PDA and Indoor Revolution are official partners.

“Jayme and Indoor Revolution have a great vision for bringing new soccer opportunities and programs to the area, and players can only grow from this new facility,” Weber said.

Actually, there were quite a few current and former area high school players on the field that night, including me and Ricky — even in our old age.

“But, yes,” Ricky continued, as we were about to lace up our boots. “It’s going to be a lot of running.”

believe it or not By Andrew O’Brien | Associate Editor

MEET COACH RIPLEY

‘I can’t promise wins; I can promise a process’ Robert Ripley will begin at Matanzas on March 17, less than two months before the Pirates’ spring game.

F

rom his junior year in high school through the first seven games as a freshman in college, Robert Ripley lost 29 straight games.

It wasn’t fun, he says, but it built character, the kind of character Ripley hopes to inject into the Matanzas High School football program.

Ripley was announced Feb. 21 as the next football coach at Matanzas — the third in the school’s history. He will step on campus March 17 as a coach and a graduation coach for the school.

Ripley comes from St. Augustine High School, where he was the wide receivers coach last season. He’s no stranger to Flagler County, though.

He was a defensive lineman and a fullback for Flagler Palm Coast, where he graduated from in 1999. Over his four-year career as a player on the Bulldogs, he won seven games.

He played college ball at Upper Iowa University, which was a NCAA Division III program when he played. (The Peacocks have since moved to Division II.) Ripley was one of the coaching candidates who applied after former coach Keith Lagocki stepped down.

Ultimately, Jeff Nettles was hired. Nettles stepped down after one season.

HISTORY AT A GLANCE New Matanzas football coach Robert Ripley isn’t a stranger to football. This will be his first head coaching gig, but he’s been to the playoffs with three of the four schools with which he has been a part of the coaching staff.

• Flagler Palm Coast: defensive line, running backs, assistant head coach • Pedro Menendez: wide receivers and running game coach • Warner Christian: defensive coordinator and assistant head coach • St. Augustine: wide receivers coach

Last season, Matanzas struggled with player personnel — with the team reaching about 35 dressed players on the roster toward the end of the season.

Ripley said Monday that he expects between 35 and 50 players when spring ball rolls around.

Play defense, work hard

Ripley will run the defense at Matanzas. He said his team will play defense before it plays offense.

“I don’t think they’ve ever done that,” he said. “We need to get tougher. It’ll be a culture shock at first. Everyone will have a defensive position. If the other team doesn’t score, you can’t lose.

That’s how I was brought up.”

There really won’t be an offseason, either. Ripley said the weight room and being involved in other sports are recipes for success on the football field.

“It’s not going home,” he said. “It’s not sitting still.”

Creating a legacy

Perhaps the thing Ripley wants to accomplish most — in addition to winning — is creating a name for the Matanzas football program.

“Half the battle is trying to create something as a coach,” he

said. “You want to find a place that you can make your own.”

Creating his own culture will be Ripley’s No. 1 priority.

“I think the first thing is you have to get the kids on board,” he said. “Get the kids excited. We’re going to do some things: change the logos, get new uniforms.”

Matanzas is 27-52 in its first nine seasons, with an average season of 3-7.

The Pirates are a combined 0-11 against Flagler Palm Coast and Pedro Menendez (Matanzas’ two geographical rivals) and have won a total of six district games in nine seasons.

Ripley said he knows he can’t fix all that overnight. But he expects to play off the recent success of Matanzas’ winter teams. (Both soccer teams reached the Final Four, and the boys basketball team made it to the district semifinals, marking it the best winter sports season in school history.)

“You have to strike while the iron’s hot,” he said. “I can’t promise wins, but I can promise a process. I can promise a program.”

Lady Bulldogs off to quick start in district play Seven of the first eight games on Flagler Palm Coast’s softball schedule are district games. And so far, first-year coach Amber Shifflett is showing she knows how important it is to compile wins early.

After a walkoff win Thursday against Sandalwood in a District 1-8A game, the Lady Bulldogs are off to a 2-1 start in the district.

“The girls were so pumped to play at home,” Shifflett said. “We have waited quite some to have that infield ready. Many of them were nervous, but I think nerves are a good thing.”

Because of so much rain over the past few weeks, FPC’s field has had irrigation issues, rendering the infield unplayable. The Lady Bulldogs have been forced to practice at other fields throughout the county.

Thursday’s game against Sandalwood was the first home game for FPC this season.

“Now that we have a few games under our belts, hopefully we’ll settle in and relax more on defense,” Shifflett said.

Relaxing wasn’t really part of the plan in the game against Sandalwood, though. FPC jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

From there, the two teams were locked into a defensive duel.

Tied 1-1 heading into the top of the seventh inning, FPC needed just three outs to have a chance to win the game in the bottom half of the inning.

Instead, the Lady Bulldogs’ defense fell apart. Sandalwood put the ball in play. Two runs later, FPC trailed 3-1 heading into their

FPC pitcher Anna Hardy tallied eight strikeouts in seven innings of work.

last at-bat.

“I told them as they came off the field in the (top of the inning) that if we are going to go down tonight, we better go down fighting,” Shifflett said.

Her Lady Bulldogs fought. With two outs and a run in to make it 3-2, Katie Bender reached second base on an error and scored the game-tying run on C.C. Smith’s single to right field.

Smith, a speedster, advanced to second on Destinee Heard’s single.

Then, catcher Addison Eggert became the hero, driving the ball to the right-center field gap.

Smith cruised home easily, giving the Lady Bulldogs a 4-3 walkoff victory.FPC (3-2) completed the

Shifflett is in her first year as FPC’s head coach. She was an assistant last season. She said her team’s comeback was one of the most exciting wins in a game she has ever coached.

“I am ecstatic about the approach in the bottom of the seventh,” she said. “They did every-

thing right at the most critical time.”

FPC gets a break from district play when it hosts Pierson Taylor on Thursday night.

“As long as we keep hitting the way we have been in key situations, and Anna Hardy continues to pitch her game in the circle, we should be in decent shape,” she said.

Hardy finished the game against Sandalwood with eight strikeouts. With Sandalwood leading 3-1 in the top of the seventh and the bases loaded, H a r d y was able to close the door on what could have been a much bigger rally when she struck out two straight batters to end the inning.

“We have been working in the bullpen on pitch sequence and using (Hardy’s) offspeed pitches to her advantage,” Shifflett said.

As a hitter, Lambert collected at least one hit in every game last season.

Jimeson and Jaques will be Matanzas’ other pitchers.

Sara Dillion is the team’s lone freshman.

She’ll mostly play right field, Novak said.

Matanzas also has three seniors, nine juniors and one sophomore on this year’s roster.

Novak said she believes her team has a “ton of potential,” but noted she only returns four starters.

“This team has never played together as a whole until the preseason classic,” Novak said. “Learning to adapt and play with each other’s strengths and weaknesses is a learning experience on its own.”

Perhaps the biggest question mark surrounding Matanzas softball coach Sara Novak’s team this season is when they’ll actually get to play some games.

Through the beginning part of the season, Matanzas has already had five games canceled due to weather or field conditions or other teams backing out.

“It’s been very frustrating,” Novak said.

“If I could control the weather, I would.”

Matanzas is scheduled to host Seabreeze on Thursday in a district match. If the rain stays away.

Most of the names on the Matanzas softball team roster are new, even to Novak.

Three of the expected starters moved to Flagler County from outside of Florida: Savanna Drummonds (North Carolina), Brooklyn Jimeson (Texas) and Olivia Jaques (New York).

Jaques actually was at Matanzas last year, but a shoulder injury kept her out for the whole season.

The rest of the starters, for the most part, are up from the junior varsity squad.

Last year, Matanzas finished 13-10, losing in the district championship for the second straight season. The Lady Pirates lost in the first round of the state playoffs.

Matanzas lost seven starters from last year’s team. But the Lady Pirates are now in 5-6A, which includes Seabreeze, New Smyrna Beach, Pine Ridge, Mainland and Deltona.

Senior Morgan Lambert, the team’s top returning player, will lead the charge — both at the plate and on the field. Lambert will be one of the team’s three pitchers.

She has five different pitches, with speeds between 50 and 55 mph.

Novak said Lambert didn’t pitch at full

SIDELINES + FPC boys lacrosse team falls to St. Augustine St. Augustine has edged Flagler Palm Coast in boys lacrosse in four straight games. But the Yellow Jackets have won by a total of only five goals in those four games.

“We had a lot of shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net,” FPC coach Lance Conant said.

FPC and St. Augustine were tied, 3-3, after the first quarter. FPC trailed 6-5 at halftime, and the Yellow Jackets were able to score two goals in the third quarter. FPC couldn’t rally in the fourth, despite outscoring St. Augustine 3-2.

Alec Noble scored two goals and added two assists for the Bulldogs.

Mike Forte netted three goals and one assists, and Paul Pechmann scored two goals to go with his one assist.

FPC goaltender Kurt Brock had six saves and gave up three goals. Karter Kusek had 15 saves and allowed eight goals.

FPC (0-3) played Matanzas on Wednesday. See palmcoastobserver.com for results.

‘C’ is for cookie — Girl Scout cookie season

+ Now open: Cork & Pint, in European Village Scotty’s Cork & Pint Wine and Tap Room opened in the European Village last week for a soft opening.

The wine and tap room will be serving wine by the glass or bottle and beer on tap. It will have live music a few nights a week and weekly specials.

Owner Scott Champion, who moved to Palm Coast from Miami, is striving for a beachy feel to the bar. Hours of operation will be 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week.

A grand opening is planned around Easter.

Champion said he hopes to continue the revival of the European Village by working with other shop owners to have live music in the courtyard on a regular basisand by eventually launching an art and wine walk.

It’s that time of year again.

I’m sure you have seen them: the girls in the sashes, peddling those delicious boxes of goodness.

T h a t ’s r i g h t : the Girl Scouts.

And they SHANNA c o m e bearing FORTIER cookies.

I have to make a conscious effort to avoid the grocery store and friends with children during this time of year, otherwise I end up with a freezer full of boxes and a nasty, sleeve-aday habit.

The other day, I was sitting at my desk getting a good deal of work done, blissfully unaware that cookie season had begun, when I was interrupted with a text from my mom.

“I got you this,” it read, with a picture of a box of Thin Mints and a Post-It note with my name on it. She also drew a heart and an “XO.” Thanks, Mom! Thin Mints are my all-time favorite. And most of the population agrees with me, as they accounted for 25% of cookie sales in 2013, the top-

selling cookie. Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-dos and Trefoils rounded out the Top 5.

Last year, Girl Scouts from the Gateway Council, which serves 16 North Florida counties, sold nearly 1.2 million boxes of cookies. In Flagler County, Girl Scouts sold 43,585 boxes and received $28,189 in proceeds.

But a box of Girl Scout cookies packs more than a sweet treat. The program teaches Girl Scouts five business and leadership skills: goal-setting, decision-making, moneymanagement, people skills and business ethics. As a former Girl Scout, I can tell you that an additional skill cookie sales also brought out in me is competition, which is also an important business skill for women.

But cookie-selling has changed a little since I hung up my green vest. Now, they have an app for that!

The Girl Scout Cookie Finder app is available for Android and Apple phones.

By entering your zip code, you’ll learn the location of the nearest cookie sales effort.

Once downloaded, the app sends updates to your email, so you always know where to find your favorite flavor.

But that’s not all. Allthough Girl Scout cookies are only available Jan. 1 to March 31, cookie fanatics have a chance to win a year’s supply of cookies by participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Championship Giveaway. To enter, each participant must do all of the following steps: Follow @ Girlscouts on Twitter; download the Official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app; use the app to “Meet the Cookies;” and share your favorite cookie on Twitter via the Official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app.

Happy cookie eating, Flagler!

Thanks, Mom!

Case Britton shows off a bunch of broccoli he picked from a field while gleaning with Epic Church.

Epic Church picks, gives 3,000 pounds of produce With the threat of rain lingering in the distance on Saturday morning, more than 50 volunteers from Epic Church in Palm Coast, with trash bags hanging from each pocket, sloshed through the mud on a broccoli farm in Hastings.

The group, which was partnering with the Society of St. Andrews, gleaned the farm, filling those trash bags with 2,500 pounds of broccoli.

Another 30-odd volunteers gleaned two citrus groves the same morning, in Palatka, collecting 1,224 pounds of fruit.

Gleaning is the traditional biblical practice of gathering crops that would otherwise be left in the fields to rot, or be plowed under after harvest. The Society of St. Andrews is a grassroots, faith-based, hunger-relief nonprofit, which works to bridge the hunger gap between 96 billion

David Emery and his daughter, Grace pounds of food wasted every year in this country and the nearly 35 million Americans who live in poverty.

The produce picked by Epic Church volunteers was distributed to Grace Community Food Pantry, in Flagler County.

“What an honor it was to be nominated by my students and then to actually win ­— I was shocked, humbled and extremely excited,” she said. “There are so many amazing advisers in the state of Florida, the nature of what we do requires us to love our jobs and add crazy hours to the school day, but the work is so rewarding.”

+ Florida Hospital Flagler’s new tool helps patient walk Maria Azevedo had been a vibrant, active 69-year-old woman when she awoke suddenly one night in 2013 with excruciating back pain, according to a Florida Hospital Flagler press release.

Her husband rushed her to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with a spinal cord bleed: She would be an incomplete paraplegic from the waist down. Her core muscles atrophied, and she began having trouble sitting up.

But thanks to a device called the EasyStand Evolv standing table, donated by the Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation, she can now get around with a walker.

“It is very rewarding to see immediate results like this,” Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation administrative director John Subers said in the press release. “It is exciting and fulfilling for our foundation donors and board of directors to be able to assist so many services of the hospital.”

“This standing table is something we’ve needed for a long time,” Florida Hospital Flagler rehabilitation services director Bridget Bergens said in the press release. “In the last year alone, we’ve seen such an increase in patients with neurological conditions who could benefit from this.”

The foundation has donated other products for the hospital’s rehabilitation program in the past, including iPads for speech therapy and a stroller for 10-year-old Palm Coast girl with spinal muscular atrophy.

“Maria’s still making continual improvement in her rehab journey, and I’m so honored to be a part of that process,” Gaddy said.

+ Publix donation supports Family Promise Chuck Jones is no longer on the board at Family Promise of Flagler County, but he’s still helping out.

Jones, the store manager at Publix on State Road 100, delivered a check Feb. 21 for $1,000 from the Publix Super Markets Charities to Family Promise President Clem Lewis and Executive Director Jim Morelewicz.

“It means a lot to us because we depend on donations or grants,” Lewis said. “Publix has stepped up to the plate.”

Family Promise coordinates with area churches to house homeless families and help them to find jobs and permanent places to live.

Morelewicz said the donation will help the organization pay for gasoline and vehicle maintenance.

“There’s a lot of gas that goes into a 15-passenger van,” he said.

“Families are moved to churches every night. They also get rides to work and back. We’re putting about 15,000 miles on it a year — closer to 20,000.”

Family Promise has about 300 volunteers but can always use more to help give last-minute rides to job interviews, Morelewicz said.

Business Assistance Center, in August 2011 to share her dream — owning a retail store.

“I’ll always remember that first meeting with Marna,” Joe Roy, area manager of the Palm Coast Business Assistance Center, said in a press release. “She had a clear plan and was passionate about the possibilities for her business.”

Conner sought the FSBDC’s help because her initial attempts to secure a business loan were denied. She didn’t have experience running a pic-

“The goal is get them jobs and have them be able to move into a place of their own,” Morelewicz said.

“The good thing is we keep the families together,” Lewis said. “They come in with pain, and they leave self-sufficient.”

Jones served on the Family Promise board in 2012-2013, but he had to resign because of the

demands of his job. But he has continued to work closely with the organization and has hired two people in need, based on Morelewicz’s recommendations.

“I have a heart for it,” Jones said.

“There is tremendous need in the community. I see it in people coming in looking for jobs. There are a lot of hopeless people out there. … We all have to pitch in and do our part.”

ture framing business, and the risk of failure was high. Conner and Roy discussed her background and business experience, including more than 15 years in the fashion retail industry.

Conner and Roy then worked together weekly, and ultimately, Conner purchased the Picture Perfect Frame & Gallery on Nov. 1, 2011, located at 25-8 Palm Harbor Village Way in Palm Coast. She maintains an ongoing relationship with the FSBDC. Today, Picture Perfect Frame & Gallery is a thriving business. Sales

have increased sharply from 2012 levels. Reflecting on her first two years in business, Conner said, “With many years of retail sales and management experience, and a degree in interior design, I knew that I had the skills to run the store. But I never realized how different it is when you are responsible for every single detail versus automatically getting a paycheck when you work for someone else. Being a small business owner is hard work, but so rewarding.”

20/twentysomething By Mike Cavaliere | Multimedia Director

Every day’s a bad hair day Nothing gets you more respect in life than a good head of hair.

At least that’s what I like to tell myself.

M a y b e you don’t have money, or skills, or smarts, and, sure, you’ve never genuinely impressed another human MIKE CAVALIERE being, I say to my reflection every morning. But whoa, check out that mop!

Then I shoot myself a wink.

And that’s my routine.

Every time I go to the salon, though, I put that one good trait I have at risk. I walk in, and it’s like I’m in Vegas, high on possibility and delusion.

“You’re the professional,” I say to the stylist when she asks what kind of trim I want. “Do your thing.”

This routine, it’s kind of like betting the house on the ponies — except these are people cutting your hair, not horses. Horses would be ridiculous. How would they even hold the scissors, stupid, with their hoof?

My biyearly trim, though, is the one time I let myself truly let loose. It’s the hyper-conservative, overly neurotic, play-it-safeforever guy’s version of high-risk gambling.

“Do you have a stylist you’d like to see, or next available?” the

hostess asks me. And my adrenaline pumps.

“That filly down yonder looks strong-legged,” I say, pointing to an elderly Hispanic lady sweeping up in back. “I’ll put $20 on her, thank ye.”

(Did I mention I go to haircuts in character?)

But this week, I didn’t feel like gambling. I ran my hand through my hair and told the stylist in no uncertain terms: “I don’t know, uh, lil’ shorter?”

Take that, indecision.

And my stylist, Maria, totally got it; she totally got me.

Ours was one of those special bonds only possible when one person involved is wearing a backwards cape. We understood each other: She understood that I didn’t feel like small talk, and I understood that she didn’t feel like small talk, and so we spent several glorious minutes together, not making small talk.

The dream.

I eyed the jarred combs marinating in the blue liquid, then snuck a peak at her cosmetology license pinned to the mirror.

Then, as softly as I could, I blew a rogue clipping from my cheek with the old underbite-style sideways blow.

It was Maria who broke our peace-and-quiet pact first.

“Ehhhh … I don’t know,” she said, sounding disappointed in

her work. “Do you want it shorter around the ears? All the same length in back? I’m not sure how it’ll look when it dries. Maybe we just cut it down?”

And that’s when I lost it.

Cut it down?! I imagined saying, covering up my boiling rage with a smile. What is this, 20 Questions? The third-degree?

I thought we understood each other: Shorter — that was the plan. Lil’ shorter. And now you want to hack away my mane completely? Never! No way.

Not today, sister!

“You’re the professional,” I said, instead, bowing as always to the intoxicating allure of hair-gambling. “Do your thing.”

And she did, just like that, making me a bettin’ man again. Except this time, my pony was taking me for all I was worth.

“Ah, you clean up nice,” she said, as soaking wet hair clippings rain down my cheeks, leaving sloppy tear trails. My glorious mane. My sweet respect. All gone.

It’s true what they say: The house always wins. But that doesn’t kill the thrill, and you have to keep feeding it, going that extra mile, getting more extreme.

So next time, I’m taking your advice. I’m going to the horsebarber. If Mr. Ed can learn to talk, I’m sure one of the horses at the stable can work a buzzer.

rish rock band Black 47 is known as much more than a musical group. According to lead singer, Larry Kirwan, they are a voice for Irish America.

“We wanted to change the way Irish Americans listen to music and introduce a lot of topics into our songs,” Kirwan said in a phone interview.

Black 47 gets its name from the summer of 1847, the worst year of the Great Irish Famine. The band started in 1989 and set out to sing about civil rights, gay rights, the north of Ireland, woman’s rights and have a good time while doing it. Exactly 25 years after their first gig, the band plans to retire — in November of this year.

“I think Black 47 has done everything we have set out to do,” Kirwan said.

But before they call it quits, the band will be playing in North Florida one last time, taking the stage as headliners at the fourth-annual Celtic Music and Heritage Festival, March 7-9, in St. Augustine.

Each year, festival has nearly doubled.

With some 20,000 expected to descend on a city of only 14,000 this year, event planners Sharon and John Cunningham have hopes of this being the largest festival of its kind.

“The band loves St. Augustine and the history of the town,” Kirwan said. “We’ve always had a big following in Florida.

When we do a gig there, people tend to come from all over the Southeast for it.”

Black 47’s final album, “Last Call,” will be released just before the big show.

Other highlights of this downtown festival include Highland games athletes demonstrating their mind-boggling strength, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and Celtic cuisine and handmade crafts.

But the hands-down favorite of the St. Augustine Celtic festival is the music: Scottish and Irish bands playing both traditional tunes and modernized renditions of the ancient Celtic music.
