no agreement yet By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

Palm Coast preps to run own elections Landon: ‘We feel like that drop-dead date is already here.’

Supervisor of Elections Kimberle Weeks is now speaking with Palm Coast staff to negotiate an agreement for the city’s elections, but the city, aware the dialogue could break down, is preparing for its own elections in case no agree-

ment emerges from the talks.

Of the city’s two options — having Weeks hold the election, or holding a stand-alone election — “option one is by far the preferable option,” Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts said at a City Council workshop April

8. “But we must be sure that there will be an election in Palm Coast.”

It takes time to prepare for an election.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Bobby Ginn’s mansion to be auctioned High-profile real estate developer Bobby Ginn’s 5,730-square-foot home and 1,532-square-foot guest house on the Intracoastal Waterway in the private community of Island Estates are scheduled to be sold at a foreclosure sale July 7, 2014. A second Ginn-owned vacant residential lot in Island Estates is in the final stages of the foreclosure process.

Ginn purchased the homesteaded double-lot property at 42 Island Estates in 2004 for $2.5 million. Subsequently, he added an 8,740-squarefoot brick driveway, a boat dock and a 4,500-square-foot pool complex.

Ginn’s first hiccup related to the Island Estates home was in June 2010 when a tax certificate (property tax lien) was issued for an unpaid property tax amount of $49,991.58. The certificate was soon redeemed. Subsequent property tax bills, including 2013, have been paid promptly.

Who is Bobby Ginn?

County partners with Stewart-Marchman The calls come in to the Sheriff’s Office all the time: a teenager harming himself, a woman threatening suicide, a man flying into a rage at a neighbor or family member.

It takes deputies hours to deal with such “Baker Act”

cases — where someone is deemed a threat to themselves of others — because they have to drive the person to a state Baker Act receiving facility, and the nearest two are each about an hour away, in Volusia County.

But that long drive is about to get shorter, at least for local deputies.

The Flagler County Commission voted unanimously at its regular Monday meeting to

“Bobby Ginn is moving more dirt in this hemisphere than anybody,” a Ginn Real Estate Sales representative bragged in early 2007. He was said to have 40,000 acres under development or in the planning stages at that time. Ginn hosted a PGA Champions Tour event at his Oceanside Hammock Beach Resort. The event’s $1.2 million purse was the year’s richest on that tour. It featured an outdoors Vince Gill concert simulcast on the high definition screen covering one side of the circling Ginn Blimp. The blimp was the latest arrival in a fleet of company aircraft sporting the Ginn Logo.

But when the music stopped, all the chairs were gone. Many of Ginn’s developments failed or are floundering. And there are still active lawsuits.

But Ginn has many local successes, as well. He was involved in the development of Grand Haven before its purchase by Landmar. He went on to develop the successful Hammock Beach Resort and bought the golf course that Lowe Development built there. Yacht Harbor Village and The Conservatory are showing increased construction activity, but The Gardens on John Anderson Highway never got off the ground.

The door is closing on the Palm Coast chapter of “The Ginndom.”

But long after he has departed the local scene, his legacy will remain. And many locals will always refer to the Sundancer dinner yacht as “the Ginn boat.”

starting them young By Joey LoMonaco | Staff Writer

Flagship programs take hold Coming soon to a Flagler County school near you: kindergartners in lab smocks and fourth-graders finessing the instruments of Boeing 777s. That’s not quite the case, but the school system is addressing workforce readiness with younger and younger students, working with the county’s elementary schools to develop flagship specialty programs.

“We’re not asking students to pick their career in third grade, per se, but they’re going to be exposed to different careers, so they understand what they’re learning can apply to different settings,” Superintendent Jacob Oliva said.

The county’s five elementary schools will start their programs in earnest this August, but two schools — Rymfire and Bunnell — have systems already in the works.

Rymfire’s program is focused on medical sciences and physical fitness, while Bunnell is adopting a “green” take on science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

At Bunnell, Danielle Burton’s fourth-graders used an advanced solar oven to toast s’mores.

Even with overcast skies, the oven heated to 350 degrees, much to the surprise of students.

The technology provided a hands-on supple-

ment for the established fourth-grade science curriculum.

“I think the important thing for the elementary school age is really to pique interest,” said Burton, who is the flagship coordinator at Bunnell. “The technologies are a little advanced for some of the curriculum that we have, but you can take some of that advanced thinking and implement it from kindergarten on.”

Other examples of the newly implemented tech include underground cameras, a greenhouse, watershed, weather station, and an ebb-and-flow watering table for hydroponics.

All use recycled rainwater.

“I think ‘green’ has been a buzzword for the last 10 years, but now it’s really starting to get further,” Burton said.

Bunnell’s program has been in place for less than a year, but the results have led educators like Burton to look for ways to ingrain the technology more into the day-to-day schooling experience moving forward.

“Our job now is to take all these technologies and things we’ve gotten in the school and turn into some really good curriculum for next year,” Burton said.

The reason for expanding career-minded

flagship programs to elementary schools is simple: With top college prep programs becoming more selective and competitive, students need a foundation.

“Some of the programs you have in high schools now — accelerated curriculums, dual enrollment, advanced placement, IB — require prerequisites before you get to high school,” Oliva said. “We hardly ever had these conversations in elementary schools, which is one of the reasons we went back and talked about exposing students to college and career readiness at an early age, so they can see the relevance of what they’re learning and how it’s going to correlate to them.”

The programs are and will continue to be financed through grants and schools’ internal accounts. Those accounts, which are bolstered by PTO fundraising, are at the discretion of the principals. Oliva likened funding for the programs to high schools’ budgets for sports referees and other extracurriculars.

“The hope is that when kids get excited about they’re learning they can continue that into middle school, they continue that into high where they can earn college credit,” he said.

NOBODY’S ASPHALT BUT MINE crime By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

Football star speaks on robbery charge He didn’t pull a weapon, or possess one. He never voiced a threat. But whenever 18-yearold Al’Kwazi Spencer fills in a job application that asks if he’s ever been charged with a crime, he’ll have to answer: “Yes. Robbery.”

Spencer, a former star football player at Matanzas High School who has been considering college ball options, says he was just tagging along March 28 when the two younger teenagers he was with said they were going to pick up a pizza.

“They told me to walk with them to get a pizza,” he said. “It was three of us. I was in the back.”

What happened next, according to a Sheriff’s Office report, was robbery: The teens crowded around 25-year-old delivery driver Crystal Torres’ car as she drove to deliver a pizza to 23 Farnum Lane. Torres, scared, asked them not to rob her, then “exited the vehicle and presented the pizza”

and a box of chicken wings. The teens took it and ran. Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Paula Priester was not sure whether one of the teens placed the delivery order.

In a public post on her Facebook page, Torres called the robbery a “nightmare” and said deliveries since were nerve wracking.

According to the Torres’ statement to deputies, the teens didn’t voice a threat. But their body language was threatening, she said: One of the teens had a hand in his back pocket, and she feared he might be armed.

That’s enough for a robbery charge. “A lot of robbery situations are implied, or there’s an implied weapon,” Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bob Weber said. He gave an example: A robber walks up to someone, keeping a hand in his coat with his finger sticking against the fabric from the inside so it looks like a gun barrel. That constitutes a threat of force.

Threatening someone — called “putting in fear” — changes a crime from larceny to robbery when something is stolen, and when deputies found Spencer and the other teens in a Farver Lane bedroom with the stolen pizza box in a closet and a bowl of discarded crusts on the table, they charged all three with robbery.

But the stakes are highest for Spencer, the oldest of the three and the only one charged as an adult.

Spencer said he didn’t know what the other teens were doing until it was done, and didn’t threaten the delivery driver — at least, not intentionally.

“I made one mistake in my life.

One,” he said. “I was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people.”

Keith Lagocki, a former football coach at Matanzas High School, coached Spencer from his fresh-

man year to his junior year. He called Spencer a “great kid” and said the incident is “definitely out of character for him.”

“I don’t recall him ever being in any trouble, academically or socially,” Lagocki said.

But Spencer’s mother, Connie Collins, said she’s afraid the robbery charge will take from him “something he’s already earned” by ruining his college prospects.

The future the young man has worked for could disappear with a conviction and possible prison sentence. It will already be different from it would have been if he hadn’t approached that car on Farnum Lane.

But Collins said the family will go through the legal process, and try to move on. “We’ve never been through this with any kind of behavioral problem. Never,” he said. “But we’ll put our trust in the judicial system, and let the chips fall where they may.”

Thieves prey on Palm Coast’s solar panels Palm Coast landscape architect Bill Butler said, ‘Vandals are robbing us blind.’

City officials and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office remain in the dark as to who’s behind a rash of larcenies of more than $20,000 worth of solar panel equipment and other power fixtures from areas around Palm Coast. The crimes date back to November.

“We just can’t keep anything anymore,” Palm Coast landscape architect Bill Butler said. “The vandals are robbing us blind, and it’s frustrating.”

“I think it was an opportunity,” said Cmdr. Mark Carman, Palm Coast liaison with the Sheriff’s Office. “Some of these places are intersections that, during the middle of the night, aren’t well travelled.”

Locations hit include a highway sign off State Road 100 at Ramp Road and the intersection of Palm Harbor Parkway and Palm Coast Parkway.

According to case reports, the equipment stolen includes one 6-foot solar panel with attached clock and batteries, one Helios solar panel, a Master Series transformer and case spotlights.

The city won’t be replacing any of the stolen equipment until it develops an effective solution or deterrent to the vandalism, Butler said. The first missing solar panel was discovered in November, but the vandals have been especially active over past few weeks.

Carman said city officials and the Sheriff’s Office will rely upon video surveillance as a deterrent at locations that still house solar panels. Additionally, Carman is working with the department’s “Pawn Division” to monitor where the stolen goods might eventually be sold.

“They’re not going to sell them at pawn shops,” Carman said. “It’s going to be a dealership probably that takes the recyclable stuff.

They’re just doing it for the money.”

The thefts are under investigation, but, without forensic evidence to work with, deputies are still looking for a break in the case.

“We’re trying to do our due diligence putting extra patrols out, and we’re trying to catch these guys,” Carman said.

faith discussions to go on, and then all of a sudden we wake up one morning and find out there’s not enough time to put an election together,” Councilman Bill McGuire said at the workshop. “I think we should proceed down both roads until we’ve got something signed in our hand.”

That’s what the city is doing, City Manager Jim Landon said.

Weeks has started speaking with City Clerk Virginia Smith, he said, to iron out the two major issues that kept Palm Coast from signing an interlocal agreement Weeks sent to the city April 17.

One revolves around polling places.

The interlocal agreement Weeks sent would have required the city to “assist the Supervisor, if requested, in locating emergency/alternative polling locations within the City that the Supervisor shall approve, should any polling locations owned or managed by the City become unavailable, or be deemed by the Supervisor to be inadequate for any reason,” language the council felt would allow Weeks to demand use of any city-owned location — including the city’s large conference room, which she has demanded in the past — without sufficient cause.

EGG HUNT

Weeks has said verbally, Landon said at the meeting, that that provision would only come into play in an emergency that makes another polling location unusable.

Landon said the city would be glad to help her find an alternative location in such a situation.

The other sticking point was that the agrement Weeks sent restricted the ballot only to the two City Council seats up for election.

That could be a problem, Netts said at a meeting April 1, if a referendum to eliminate red-light cameras were to qualify for the ballot, or if a council member were to die before the election, leaving another open seat.

But Weeks said in an email to the city that those issues could be dealt with later, if they arise, in an addendum to the interlocal agreement.

“It makes no sense to me to do an addendum when you could just add language,” Landon said at the April 8 meeting, “but she said that it’s OK to add, so maybe we need just a little tweaking of the language to make that clear.”

If there’s no agreement, though, the city will have to go it alone.

If it came to that, Smith said at the meeting, the city would cut costs on poll workers by having a single polling place, and would use paper ballots counted by hand.

Still, the costs would add up to $40,000 to $50,000 for each of the city’s two elections, the primary and the general, for a total of $80,000 to $100,000.

“Elections are very, very expensive,” Smith said. Training poll workers, for instance, costs about $2,500 a day. Printing 60,000 ballots, the number required for each election, would cost about $17,000.

City elections held in 2011, with six polling places, cost about $60,000 for each election, Landon said, but turnout for the elections, held as stand-alone elections on an odd year, were low: Just 10% of eligible voters cast a ballot.

“We all agree for reasons of what is best for our residents that the combined election is far preferable — ease of voting, simplicity, so on and so forth,” Netts said. “If circumstances force us to go to this alternative, at least, from what I see, it won’t be any more expensive. From a fiscal point of view, we’re still ahead of the game compared to 2011.”

But Councilman David Ferguson said that despite the issues with Weeks’ proposed interlocal agreement, signing it would be better than holding a separate election.

“I think it’d be wise to choose the lesser of two evils, and that is to make the agreement happen — whatever it takes — rather than to consider this path of a manual count, because I don’t think anybody wins in that regard,” he said. “If for some reason the supervisor insists that no changes be made, I think that’s the lesser of two evils than to go down his other road.”

In order to hold a stand-alone election, Smith said, the city would need to order ballots from the printer by the last day of the candidate qualifying period, June 20.

But the city can’t wait that long to start preparing.

“We feel like that drop-dead date is already here, and we need to proceed with those alternatives,” Landon said. “Until we have something signed, we have to move forward with this.”

FURNITURE SALE!

city business ... By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

Lapel cams, salary rumors Palm Coast has given the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office $60,000 to outfit each deputy with a lapel camera.

The money comes from a state grant, funded through traffic fines, for police automation initiatives.

Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies do not currently have cameras on their dashboards. The lapel cameras, though, are more versatile because they show what deputies see when they leave a cruiser.

“These video cameras are invaluable,” City Manager Jim Landon said. “Oftentimes, there’s a dispute as to the officer did this, or that happened; and if the officer was acting appropriately, it shows that. If they’re acting inappropriately, it shows that. If there’s a he-said, she-said with two citizens, this helps, too.”

The Sheriff’s Office already has 20 of the tiny cameras, which are manufactured by the Taser corporation.

They can be worn on a deputy’s collar, over the ear or mounted on a pair of sunglasses, and stay in a kind of buffering stand-by mode when worn until a deputy presses a button. Then they start recording — not at the point of the button press, but 30 seconds before. Each individual camera costs about $500, plus charging docks.

City addresses salary rumors

There’s a number popping up on Internet sites concerning Palm Coast, and City Council members have started hearing it from constituents, too: $750,000.

Sometimes it’s mentioned as a bit less, sometimes a bit more, but it’s usually presented — misleadingly — as the combined amount of City Manager Jim Land-

on’s and City Attorney Bill Reischmann’s salaries. It isn’t.

Palm Coast Councilman Bill McGuire brought the issue up at a Tuesday-morning City Council workshop.

“Gentlemen, again it’s an election year, and I’m getting communications from various citizens,” he said. “And the latest thing that’s floating around is that $750,000 is what we’re spending on the city manager and the attorney.” City staff attending the meeting laughed. “Everytime there’s an election, this comes up,” McGuire said. “Does the council feel it would be good to have a breakdown? Because I tried telling some people, that’s not what these two guys make. That’s the budget for running those offices, for having the services of the firm that Mr. Reischmann represents. It’s not just him. It’s the people that deal with code enforcement and the other assistance that we get.

The same with the city manager’s office.”

Landon’s annual base salary is $168,878.

Reischmann is not a direct employee of the city. Palm Coast pays his law firm $22,500 per month for the services of a number of attorneys who specialize in different areas, including code enforcement, planning, litigation, personnel matters and construction.

“What people do is they’ll take the department budgets and make it sound like that’s our salaries,” Landon said at the workshop. He said he carries his W-2 form, and would be willing to publish it to dispell the rumors.

“That’s like, you could take the whole budget of the whole city and call it my salary if you want to stretch it,” Landon said.

“It’s almost as goofy.” facilities,” Flagler County Deputy Administrator Sally Sherman said at the meeting.

The $1.2 million will be distributed over three years, with the county contributing $100,000, a total of $20,000 of which will come from a Sheriff’s Office fund.

“We had tried to find ways of addressing our mental health and substance abuse community, and unfortunately we have not seen a decline. We’ve seen an increase,” Sherman said. “So this is really helping us better serve our citizenry here in need of those services.”

Stewart-Marchman-Act will also offer extended case management or mental health assistance to Baker Act patients, Sherman said.

a solution to red light cameras By Brian McMillan | Executive Editor

Fools in April: Lessons learned Why the red light story was so believable

Last week started so innocently. As a result of an unexpected increase in page count and a staff in transition, I decided to make a fake front page for April Fool’s Day. In the past, our sister papers in the Observer Media Group have had great success with their spoofs. I thought, “Why not? Let’s have a little fun.” I came up with a few stories that were somewhat believable, but also BRIAN enough MCMILLAN over-the-top that no one would be thoroughly fooled.

Boy, was I wrong.

After the paper came out on Thursday morning, I went to my weekly meeting at the county offices. There, a newspaper veteran who now works as the county’s communications manager, Carl Laundrie, let me in on a little clue: This was a no-good, horrible, bad idea. People are going to be calling the city offices, and they will be angry, he said.

As it turns out, people did call the city offices to complain about the “decision” to triple the red light camera fines.

All day, I fretted about the employees at the city’s customer service desk, who have no influence on policy and are just doing their job. They got the brunt of the outrage from the community, and that made me feel rotten. (I have already apologized to them.)

Throughout Thursday and into Friday, some people told me they thought it was hilarious, and said the spoofs gave them a hearty laugh. I was also called many names: irresponsible, , immature, idiotic, cruel, etc.

Others have said the fake front page diminishes the newspaper’s credibility in the future. I hope that will not be the case. We are back to normal, and the stories you see are, of course, not spoofs this week.

Some readers laughed, others cried, other cursed when they say the top headline last week. Of all the reactions I heard, many had something in common: They believed the city might actually do something as terrible as tripling the fines for red light camera violations.

I’m sure that’s not something the City Council wants to hear. In fact, they might blame the Observer and the other local media for not doing a good enough job of telling all the good things the city does.

I accept that criticism. In fact, I think I trust the city more than most people do. I have been able to get to know many people on the city staff, and whenever I have heard a rumor about the city doing something that was unfair or illogical, there was always another side of the story. Most of the time, when people see the worst in the city leaders, I believe, it’s because they don’t know the full story. And whose fault is that? Maybe we need to do a better job as a newspaper to tell that story.

And yet, there has to be some responsibility put on the readers themselves. I admit it: I was naïve. I thought people would get the joke immediately. And if they didn’t get it immediately, I believed they would certainly turn the page and see another “front page” on Page 3, and they would surely keep turning to Page 6 to get my explanation.

But many people didn’t turn the page.

In fact, several people wrote letters to the editor based on the headline alone, without even bothering to read past the 100 or so words that fit on the front page. That was a wakeup call to me that people consume the news in a different way today than they used to. Our attention is pulled in many directions, and we have become satisfied with 140 characters’ worth of news, or one headline’s worth of news. But even the best writer in the world can’t tell the full story in a headline.

What to do about red light cameras?

All this talk of fake news leads me to a serious question: Are the red light cameras really worth it?

They have changed behavior, it is true.

We know from the numbers of violations that fewer people are running red lights than they used to a few years ago. But I have heard from many, including people writing letters to the editor, that the cameras have changed behavior to the point that they feel paranoid driving around the city. They slam on their brakes at yellow lights, risking rear-end collisions. They take the long way, rather than going through intersections with cameras. And some people even claim to drive out of the city limits to shop.

Red light cameras reduce the city’s morale. They have caused a loss of faith in the city government (read the Facebook comments below, if you don’t believe me).

In my view, that is a shame.

To fix it, I propose the city eliminate red light cameras. Proponents of the cameras will say the cameras make the city safer, and if we get rid of them, what message would that send about running red lights?

My solution is that, at the same time we eliminate the cameras, the city should contract with the Sheriff’s Office to hire one or two more deputies and increase the number of shifts that the deputies spend monitoring intersections. Deputies would begin pulling people over for breaking the law, including turning right on red when someone fails to stop. If people started getting tickets from a real person, rather than from a camera, they would accept it with a different kind of attitude. I think they would pay the fine, and move on. We would still live in a safe community, but we could finally stop pointing fingers and being afraid of Big Brother.

How do we fix the red light camera problem? Unplug the cameras. Restore good faith in the city. Hire deputies. Drive safely, Palm Coast.

FACEBOOK FEEDBACK On April 4, I posted a photo of our fake front page and asked our 10,000 Facebook fans for their reactions. The picture got 107 likes and 32 shares, as well as about 37 unabashedly positive comments, 31 clearly negative comments, and 40 mixed. Below is a sampling: Ken Gistedt Loved it. Would not surprise me though.

Connie Powell Melos I think that who ever is in charge of the Observer is an Idiot!! I volunteer with Developmentally disabled people here in palm coast and I think you should take into consideration who reads your paper, we also have a lot of Retired individuals who could have been effected by this stupidity !!

Not to mention people barely paying there rent on time and struggling , when the part where it said they were going to raise the cost of the traffic light tickets!!! ....... I guess some of us are just more educated than others!!

Travis Karcher Although I must admit when first read the tripling red light fee headline I fell for it,mostly because it wouldn’t surprise me if the city tried that. Don’t give them any ideas,Observer!!!

Also judging by some of the comments people are still falling for your prank.

Bonnie Shook Esposito irresponsible Michelle Heider Marks Sadly, the red light camera story was completely believable. It wasn’t until I got to page 6 that I figured it out. Not saying much for a person’s faith in the government of Palm Coast! Love the humor... if a person can’t laugh they have a sad life!

Robbie J Carroll Actually I was hoping the red light camera story was true. Serves people right that don’t know how to stop at a red light.

Jackie Ro Ku It was all in good fun but doesn’t a newspaper ruin its credibility when it does this kind of joking thing?

Myriam Ferreira Varela A very unprofessional move on your part.

Mark Woods Lighten up, I think it was good humor. I don’t think the PC Observer is trying to paint itself as the L.A. Times. A little fun is good for the soul. Love the windsock article!

The real humor is the comments in this thread by people who still think the red light camera headline is true.

Kaiti Lenhart I thought it was hilarious and it came at a perfect time... I really needed a good laugh. I thought something was up with the $68K “used” windsock. LOL. Alison Gilbert Scholin Loved it! So silly! The

windsock story and the ant hill were hilarious!

How much fun did you guys have with this one? Looking forward to next year’s issue.

Keep up the good work!!

Sharon Gibb Sejda Palm Coast version of Orson Wells War of the Worlds. I loved it. However I’m disappointed that Let It Go well not be the City Song.

Ada Sheridan I feel it was Great ...What wrong with a little Humor? It only lets me know that the Palm Coast Observer is down to earth.

Jan Spence Would have been better ON april fools day...lost a little by being late.

Mario DiGirolamo I thought is was real! Why would I think otherwise?! Hmm. I don’t know what to believe anymore.

Agnese Spicer Brian McMillan, do you call yourself a journalist? My son and his friend read the article about the giant ant hill. They rode their bicycles all the way from the VFW to Rte 1 and back looking for the ant hill. They got back home and told me they couldn’t find it so we looked at the paper and saw on page 6 that your front page stories were nothing but a pack of lies. Is this April fools? My opinion would be nothing but incompetence. I’m very disappointed in our “local paper.”

LETTERS EDITOR TO THE

+ Are you sure Miss Palm Coast is really from Plant City?

Dear Editor: I enjoyed reading the “fake front page” of April 3’s edition celebrating April Fool’s Day. Very funny. However, I do want to point out a possible error. I believe you placed a story meant for your “fake front page” onto the real front page by mistake.

That would be the article about the Plant City resident who was recently named Miss Palm Coast at the 2014 Miss Palm Coast, St. Augustine and Flagler County pageant. No way would a resident of Plant City (or any other city, for that matter) be named Miss

Palm Coast, right? So I’m sure this article was meant for the April Fool’s Day “fake front page,” right? You made a mistake, right?

Tony D’Amico Palm Coast

+ Why cause anxiety?

Dear Editor: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I did not appreciate your "jokes" in this week’s edition. Why would you want to cause anxiety, if only briefly, to thousands of readers? I imagine some of the older readers didn't bother to read the Page 6 article and may still think the Page 1 articles are true.

Please skip the humor next year.

Charlie Dean Palm Coast

+ April Fool’s jokes: ‘brilliant’ Dear Editor: Simply brilliant! Can't remember when my wife or I have laughed harder. Great, great job!

We are huge fans of the Observer. If you ever get to the point where you require subscriptions, count us in.

Keep up the good work.

COPS

CORNER

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2

A man told deputies he’d left his home at about 11:30 a.m., then returned at about 2:50 p.m. to find the front door kicked in.

There was a “dark shoe print next to the door knob, and one dark smudge on the lower part of the door,” according to a Sheriff’s Office case report.

But when the man checked the inside of the house, nothing was missing or moved.

The man and an investigating deputy believed the man’s dog scared the intruder away.

None of the neighbors the deputy spoke with saw the intruder.

The door frame sustained about $200 in damage.

PERFECT TIMING 2:01 a.m. 1000 Block of Palm Coast Parkway.

A deputy on patrol stopped at a gas station and noticed two young men in front of the convenience store.

One of the men reached into his shorts and removed something, then quickly replaced it after noticing the deputy’s patrol car.

The other man was wearing a backpack and had a pit bull on a leash.

The deputy stopped them both, and asked them if they were armed. They said they weren’t. He patted both men down, and found a loaded Colt .38 Special in one of the men’s pockets.

The serial numbers had been filed off.

The man “stated that he had the firearm because he had just sold one of his pitbull puppies,” according to the arrest affidavit.

The deputy arrested him for possession of a concealed firearm without legal authority, and possession of an altered firearm.

APRIL 3 MAKIN’ A SCENE OVER MUNCHIES 11 p.m. 1400 block of Palm Coast Parkway Northwest. Suspicious incident.

A man walked into a local taco restaurant and ordered $90 worth of food to go.

But when a clerk at the counter wouldn’t throw in a bag of chips for free, the man — a regular customer — got angry and “caused a scene” as he drank a beer and waited for his food, restaurant employees told deputies.

Once the food was ready, the man took it and left. But the incident wasn’t over.

The man returned to the restaurant at

11 p.m., around closing time, and asked to speak to one of the employees, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

Then, he “apologized for his actions and about causing a scene,” according to the report.

That should’ve been the end of it.

But it wasn’t.

For no apparent reason, employees told deputies, the man then threatened to shoot the store employee he’d just apologized to.

Then he left, and the employees called the Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy wrote in the incident report that it “does not appear the threats were valid, and the male may have been under the influence of narcotics.”

Deputies aren’t sure what the man’s name is, but he shouldn’t be hard to find: he’s 6 feet tall, about 220-250 pounds, has a goatee and a Mohawk and is a regular customer at the taco place on Palm Coast Parkway, according to the report.

APRIL 5 MYSTERY BURGLAR, OR MAINTENANCE MAN? 12:06 p.m. First block of Riverview Bend. Burglary.

A young woman returned home the evening of April 4 and realized something was wrong: Somebody had been in her apartment.

The signs were subtle. One of the electrical sockets on the wall near her kitchen had been pushed in.

There were small indentations in the wall and drywall dust on the floor be-

neath it.

A house plant had been moved, and an indentation in the carpet revealed its usual position. But nothing was taken.

She called the Sheriff’s Office the next day, and a deputy arrived an about noon, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

The deputy noted that it seemed like whoever entered the apartment had a key.

The woman told the deputy that her landlord lives out of state, and had said they hadn’t entered the apartment.

She said she’d check to see if anyone in the condo association had a key and entered the apartment for maintenance reasons.

APRIL 6 THIEF BREAKS INTO STORAGE FACILITY, IS STYMIED BY TRUCK DOOR 7:48 a.m. 1800 block of U.S. 1.

Attempted burglary A man called the Sheriff’s Office and said that on April 5, he’d parked a truck full of expensive furniture at a commercial vehicle storage facility on North State Street.

The facility is surrounded by a 6-foottall barbed wire fence, and entry requires a gate code.

But when he returned the next morning, it looked like someone had tried to break in through the truck’s side door.

Nothing was missing, but the rubber molding around the door was damaged.

The man said the damage wasn’t there before, and the truck was new and purchased March 26.

The man had touched the damage before deputies arrived, and there were no leads.

Congress passed the bipartisan Victims of Crime Act in 1984, creating a national fund to ease victims’ suffering.

Financed not by taxpayers, but by fines and penalties paid by offenders, the Crime Victims Fund supports victim services, such as rape crisis and domestic violence programs and victim compensation programs that pay many of victims’ out-of-pocket expenses from the crime, such as counseling, funeral

COUNTY GAINS AIRPORT LAND IN SWAP

Flagler County has swapped land with Florida Landmark Communities LLC, gaining three properties next to the airport and providing Landmark with frontage along State Road 100, some of which might be used for a gas station and convenience store.

“This should be really a winwin situation — a win for the private sector, and a win for the government sector,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said at a Flagler County Commission meeting Monday, April 7.

Florida Landmark Communities gave the county 44.3 acres appraised at $608,000, and the county gave Florida Landmark three acres appraised at $486,000 in the agreement approved unanimously by the Flagler County Board of County Commissioners at its regular Monday meeting.

“We’re actually getting more bang for our buck,” Flagler County Airport Director Roy Sieger said at the meeting. “We do not have to make up the difference to Landmark.”

One of the three parcels from Florida Landmark will be used

expenses, and lost wages.

Only 30 years ago, crime victims had virtually no rights and no assistance. Victims were often excluded from courtrooms and denied an opportunity to speak at sentencing.

They had no access to victim compensation or services to help rebuild their lives and victims were on their own to recover their health, security, and dignity.

Today, the nation has made dra-

for a runway safety area, and the other two will add a buffer between developable land next to the airport and the airport’s operations area.

Florida Landmark Communities will also construct an access road for the airport from Seminole Woods Parkway to replace an access road on land the county is giving to Florida Landmark.

“What the airport is trading for these properties is 3.03 that abuts their current property that abuts State Road 100,” Sieger said.

“What that’s going to allow Florida Landmark Communities to do is expand their existing lot that’s on the corner of State Road 100 and Seminole Woods.

Right now Florida Landmark Communities is working with a client to actually purchase that property. That client is a client that’s going to put a convenience-slash-gas station on the corner.

Commissioner Barbara Revels asked if fencing installed last year at the airport would have to be moved. Sieger said it would not.

New runway needed?

Airport at 100% capacity before 2033.

Flagler County’s airport — the busiest of its kind in the state, and the third-busiest of its kind in the country — needs a new runway, airport staff told Flagler County commissioners at a Monday workshop.

“We have a capacity issue at the airport,” Flagler County Airport director Roy Sieger said. “And the FAA said, when you’ve reached 60% capacity, you need to find ways to fix your capacity.”

The county airport is actually well over that, airport master planner Doug DiCarlo said, because the airport evaluated its operations based on numbers from 2012.

“The master plan was based on the 2012 year — you have to pick a base year for your data — and that actually was a very slow year for the airport,” he said. “The actual capacity at the airport has been well above 60%.”

In 2011, according to documents provided to county and avail1commissioners - February 28 able at flaglercounty.org, the airport was at 70% capacity.

To determine what the airport needs to deal with the increasing load, staff evaluated information on the kind of planes using the airport.

“We collected some very, very detailed data from the fairly new air traffic control

tower, specifically to find what type of aircraft is coming in here, because that directly equates to requirements,” DiCarlo said.

In 2012, the airport had about 153,000 takeoffs or landings, he said. Staff expect that number to increase to about 244,000 by the end of the airport’s 20-year planning process in 2033, a forecast approved by the FAA. “And as you can imagine, when you work those numbers out to the end of the forecast period, we can certainly see 100% capacity at the airport,” DiCarlo said.

The only feasible way to increase the airport’s capacity, he said, would be to add an additional runway parallel to the current one. It could be fairly close: The two runways would only have to be 700 feet apart from centerline to centerline.

DiCarlo didn’t specify a timeline for adding the new runway, but said that in the meantime, staff could plan for it by setting aside land for the runway and not building other structures on it that would eventually have to be moved.

Diagrams presented to the commission and available in the backup for that meeting at flaglercounty.org show different possible placements for the new runway.

loose lips By Jonathan Simmons | News Editor

This man’s mouth got him in major trouble. Twice.

It started with a creepy comment.

A woman was walking to her car in the Target parking lot on State Road 100 just after noon April 1 when a man started following her in his car, then pulled up alongside her and said, “Hello, you look really good today.”

The statement made the woman uncomfortable. She quickly got in her car and drove home. But she told her husband about the strange man, and he called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

A deputy drove over to the parking lot to look for the man who’d followed the woman, and found a car that matched the woman’s description heading east out of the lot.

He followed and stopped the car east

of the intersection of Landings Boulevard and State Road 100.

He asked the driver — later identified as 51-year-old John McDevitt — how long he’d been in the parking lot.

McDevitt said he’d been there McDevitt for some time because he was waiting for a friend staying at Florida Hospital Flagler.

The driver asked him if he’d spoken to a woman in the parking lot, and he said he

had. When asked, he provided his driver’s license, and the deputy ran a check.

But as he did, he noticed McDevitt “making multiple furtive movements within his vehicle,” and asked him to step out.

When McDevitt did, the deputy “detected the strong odor of cannabis emanating from the area of his mouth.”

The deputy read McDevitt his Miranda rights and asked him if he had cannabis in his possession, if he’d swallowed any, and if he had any in his car. McDevitt’s replies are redacted in the Sheriff’s Office report.

McDevitt gave the deputy permission to search the car, and the deputy found a “large amount of cannabis ‘shake’” in a

purse sitting on the passenger seat. There was also a digital weight scale, and three hydrocodone pills.

The deputy arrested McDevitt on charges of possession of cannabis with intent to sell, possession of hydrocodone, possession of drug paraphernalia and destruction of evidence.

McDevitt told the deputy he had money in his pocket, and he did — $2046.17 — which the deputy seized “due to the money being consistent with the sale of narcotics.”

He was taken to the Flagler County jail.

Jail records show he was arrested twice before in Flagler County, once for domestic battery and once for probation violation.

OPPOSITE FIELD Joey LoMonaco | Sports Writer

On leaving one home to find another I think I started sweating in Georgia. By the time Interstate 95 knifed through the Jacksonville skyline, it became clear to me that my longsleeved baseball fleece and sweat pants were poor wardrobe picks.

I’m Joey LoMonaco, the Palm Coast Observer’s new sports writer, and last week I left behind Woodbridge, Va., and half a foot of JOEY snow to embark LoMONACO on my new adventure. Virginia is the only home I’ve ever known, and I’m putting you on notice, Palm Coast — you’ve got some big shoes to fill.

The earliest LoMonaco home videos chronicle the misadventures of a 5-year-old Joey, usually not too far from a baseball field. On one particular Sundance-caliber film reel, I round second base hard during a Tball game, pick up steam approaching third, touch the bag — and keep going. Heck, I can understand why.

Between my nearby mom and the post-game snack spread (which I’m going to go out on a limb and say included Sunny Delight), third seemed like a logical stopping place.

About three weeks ago, I stepped onto that same field by Dale City Rec. Center. This time, I braved a single-digit wind chill to do flat-ground work with a high school buddy who hopes to make a comeback and pitch in junior college.

I could sit here and expound all day upon my own sports memories, my “war stories” (which I find to be a really misused term in this forum), but the above really says it all. Community sports journalism is in my marrow; it’s a huge part of me.

I’m fresh off a four-year, parentsubsidized vacation at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. At the end of it, they made me dress up in fancy clothes and handed me a piece of paper that is supposed to assure future employers that I’m really, really good at writing. That was last May. Two days after graduation, I accepted a post as a cops and courts reporter at a small hometown Virginia paper.

Four months after that (if you’re keeping a timeline, we’re in August 2013 now), I landed at the Post — The Washington Post, that is. There, I wrote high school sports features — a story about a brave kid who upends stereotypes about midgets and wrestling, and a story about the top high school football recruit in the country in Da’Shawn Hand. I drove through 26 miles of the worst traffic in America to work a late-night sports aide shift on L Street in Northwest D.C. And now, at 23, I’m yours, Palm Coast. I feel blessed.

Matanzas freshman Sidney Moon makes a return on the run.

By Joey LoMonaco | Sports Writer

Matanzas tennis falls short, reloads for regional tourney When Matanzas boys’ tennis coach Keith Lagocki made the announcement that the Pirates — trailing Ponte Vedra 3-2 in a playoff to decide the Class 3A-4 district champion — would concede the doubles round, most players nodded lock-neck with the company line.

Matanzas would still qualify for regionals (albeit as a lower seed), but they’d do so with a full ammo cupboard. Talented freshman Jason Legall would return after participating in a tournament abroad. Cookie Arrascue wouldn’t have to play with a crack in his Aero Pro Drive racket. And another type of crack — these the fractures on St. Augustine’s hard court surface — wouldn’t force a venue change, long layoff, and a second warm-up session.

Still, one player — senior Nick Petrillo — seemed to grapple with the news more than his teammates. He quickly and quietly collected his gear and set off alone for the white transport vans with the Flagler Schools logo painted on the passenger doors.

“Honestly, I’m probably not going to play tennis too much after high school, so I did really want to play,” Petrillo said. “I guess I do feel kind of deflated.”

Cracks in the court

After two days of district play culminated on April 3, Ponte Vedra and Matanzas

hopes at a district win. Matanzas was scheduled to travel to Gainesville High School on Tuesday for the first round of regionals, with a victory setting up a rematch Thursday, at Ponte Vedra.

‘We’ll come back’

Matanzas’ Davey Roberts hits a forehand against Ponte Vedra's Hank Hill on Friday in Ponte Vedra. were deadlocked at 14 points.

A tiebreaker was arranged at a neutral site (St. Augustine) for Friday.

That’s when things got weird.

The courts at St. Augustine were cracked, no doubt. Some of the cracks were large enough to fit a quarter, and some altered the elevation of the surface. And that, according to Lagocki, was too much.

“There is an inherent risk in sports, but when it’s obvious that there’s a flawed surface, you don’t want to put your kids out there and take a chance of them getting hurt,” he said.

After a contentious debate on Friday afternoon, Lagocki and Sharks coach Weller Evans agreed to wait on a ruling from an FHSAA official. Emails

were sent and calls placed, but there was no response. After 25 minutes, the coaches agreed to move the match to Ponte Vedra.

“I knew coming here wasn’t going to be much better in terms of the environment, it was definitely a hostile crowd,” Lagocki said. “That made a difference for one of our kids, and that’s basically why things went down the way they did.”

The match he was referring to pitted freshman Sidney Moon against Ponte Vedra’s Eric Gravelle. Moon went down a break early, and tempers flared due to borderline calls made by the players. Evans and a Matanzas assistant stepped in to judge the final few games, but Moon didn’t recover, falling 8-6. The loss all but dashed the Pirates’

Petrillo cashed in on his singles match, downing Ponte Vedra’s Ethan Van Voorhis 8-6.

Davey Roberts, a five-star recruit according to tennisrecruiting.net, beat the Sharks’ Hank Hill for the second time in as many days.

The day “was interesting,” Roberts said. “It more started out with drama than anything else. Tensions were pretty high, just from districts and our pasts. Everyone was a little tight, especially me.”

Petrillo — a six-time district champ in his own right — stayed upbeat when Roberts unseated him for the top spot in the lineup last season, and again this year when Legall’s arrival bumped him down to No. 3. He isn’t about to let one confounding afternoon spoil the closing chapters of his career.

“It’s part of being on a team, and personally I like tennis because it’s an individual sport, and you can only blame yourself if you lose,” he said, thumbing his blue district runnerup ribbon. “But it’ll be a nice break, and we’ll come back and be strong.”

Goodbye,‘I guys’: Flagler Palm Coast gets tough

Since a tough loss on March 4, Kicen Gardner said, ‘Everybody’s changed, and we’re trying to make a big turnaround.’

FPC’s starting lineup runs sprints prior to a game against Mandarin on April 3. time FPC faces the flamethrower.

“The majority of us aren’t scared of him,” he said. “He could be throwing 100 or throwing 60, but you go up there swinging.”

At practice on April 2, players wore an even mix of baseball pants and green athletic shorts. Tom Petty’s “Refugee” pumped through the stadium speakers.

Butler chose two players — instead of coaches — to bludgeon fungos at the in-

fielders, a first on the season.

All the measures were designed to make practice more fun and less like work, Butler said.

Austin Coffman -— a talented junior third baseman — put his bare knees on the line to come up with a diving catch. A few grounders later, he sailed a throw well over the first-base target net and off the top of the fence. Butler took notice.

“How many throws to first base have

Joey LoMonaco

you made today?” he asked Coffman.

“A lot, sir,” the junior replied.

“And how many did you throw like that?”

“Just the one.”

“You stepped into it, threw it 100 mph, and it just took off,” Butler said. Then he asked, “Or did you baby it?”

“No.” Satisfied with that, Butler said, “Well, then that’s all I care about.”

138554

Call it interval training.

After Flagler Palm Coast dropped a sloppy 6-1 decision at Mandarin on March 4, the Bulldogs reported to the warning track for an hour-long debriefing. The bus idled, and the Mustangs’ coach waited for the visitors to vacate so he could shut off the lights.

“They ran, I yelled, they ran, I yelled, they ran, I yelled,” coach Jordan Butler said. “And I think that was kind of the turning point of our season.”

An offense that sputtered and struggled to produce just a few hits per game early on exploded for 13 in a 9-5 win on March 28. A pitching staff that lost its ace to injury in February has a 2.70 ERA. The Bulldogs (7-11, 1-3 District 1-8A) haven’t committed an error in three games.

“There’s no ‘I guys’ out here — we used to all be ‘I guys,’” senior Kicen Gardner said. “Everybody was just focused on going to college, nobody really cared about how our team was, how our record was going to be. But since (the Mandarin game), everybody’s changed, and we’re trying to make a big turnaround.”

Offensively, FPC has adopted an aggressive streak at the plate. With opposing pitchers’ emphasis on pounding the strike zone, there’s no point in looking for walks, said Butler.

“Our philosophy is ‘on or out in three,’” outfielder Zach Ellis said. “We want to either be on base with a hit or get out in three or less pitches.”

That approach will be especially important if the Bulldogs run into Florida State recruit Sean Reid-Foley in the district playoffs. Reid-Foley — whose fastball flirts with 95 mph — one-hit the Bulldogs on Feb. 18.

Ellis estimated that it would be the sixth

HOPE By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor

Relay for Life raises $50,000 + Humane Society launches Soles for Souls The Flagler Humane Society is conducting its Soles for Souls shoe collection drive, which continues through May 31. The fundraiser not only raises funds for the shelter’s animals but also benefits microenterprise ventures in developing nations.

Individuals can help by donating at the Flagler Humane Society or at collection points located throughout Flagler County.

“Our goal is to collect 7,500 pairs of shoes, and the only way we can do that is if people step up and help; so I am calling on everyone in our community to gather up their unwanted, gently worn shoes and bring them to one of our drop off locations,” said Amy Carotenuto, FHS executive director.

A list of all drop off locations is available at flaglerhumanesociety. org/soles-souls-shoe-drive/.

+ Washington Oaks launches annual Earth Day photo contest Get your camera ready! The Friends of Washington Oaks are sponsoring a photo contest in conjunction with their Earth Day celebration Saturday, April 26.

Photographers are being asked to submit photographs of Washington Oaks Gardens State Park and/or Faver-Dykes State Park. As many as three photographs may be submitted.

There are adult and youth divisions in the following three categories: beaches and trails; gardens and wildlife; and historic structures. Rules and entry forms can be found at washingtonoaks.org or by visiting Washington Oaks Gift Shop.

The deadline to submit is Sunday, April 20.

The luminary ceremony honors survivors, fighters and those who lost the battle with cancer.

Relay for Life of Flagler drew 60 teams. The overnight event was held Friday, April 4, at Town Center, and was the first joint county event in three years.

+ Girl Scouts to host car wash to raise funds Girl Scout Troop 952 will host a car wash 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 13, at Outback, 45 Plaza Drive.

The fundraiser will help send the troop to Savannah, Ga. to visit the home of the founder of Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low. Part of the proceeds will also go to help their big sister/little sister movie day.

The first lap of the night was dedicated to survivors.

+ Trunk-tastic! Palm Coast named Tree City USA for ninth year For the ninth straight year, the city of Palm Coast has been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of Palm Coast’s urban forestry program.

hours and carry a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average. Students must formally apply to the Bachelor of Science in Education program and, once admitted, earn a “C” or better in all program courses.

Daytona State offers the Bachelor of Science in Education (BSED) in seven areas: Elementary Education (K-6), Exceptional Student Education (K-12), Secondary Mathematics Education (6-12), Secondary Biology Education (6-12), Secondary Earth/Space Science Education (6-12), Secondary Chemistry Education (6-12), and Secondary Physics Education (6-12). Each is approved by the state of Florida and fulfills the education courses, professional education competencies and practical experience required to obtain a five-year Florida Professional Educator’s Certificate.

According to Florida Education Training Placement Information Program data, 95 of 102 Daytona State education degree graduates who earned their degrees between 2010 and 2012 were working in their fields, an overall placement rate of 93.5%. DSC launched the BSED program in 2009.

Volusia County anticipates hiring 300 to 400 teachers during the coming school year and will host a job fair at Daytona State College’s Daytona Beach Campus 1-4 p.m. April 16.

Funded by State Farm, Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation and the Flagler County Education Foundation, the students’ projects help people recognize and value the part our environment plays in healthy communities, as well as teaching others what they have in their own backyard.

Earning a bachelor’s degree in education at Daytona State College will soon be more affordable.

Beginning July 1, first-time-in-college students interested in pursuing one of Daytona State’s seven baccalaureate degree tracks in education will be able to do so at a cost of $10,000, a savings of about $3,000 and less than half what it would cost at a state university.

The move is part of a challenge by the governor and Legislature for Florida’s 28 state colleges to offer bachelor’s degrees at a reduced cost.

“We’re very excited to be able to offer this affordable pathway to first-time-incollege students who have a passion to pursue teaching careers,” said Daytona State President Carol W. Eaton. “It’s a great value and opportunity, enhanced by our strong partnerships with Volusia and Flagler County schools.”

Last month, Daytona State’s District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a plan to offer the 2+2-style program leading to the education baccalaureates. The plan uses fee waivers authorized by state statute to reduce the cost of upper-division courses for in-state residents attending college for the first time. The waivers will be applied while students complete their final 30 credit hours in the program, virtually making the senior year of the program tuition free.

In addition to being their first time in college, students must have earned a minimum of nine credits through advance placement, international baccalaureate or dual enrollment courses while in high school. They must earn their associate of arts degree within 66 attempted credit

+ Rutledge places at FBLA state conference Four students who are members of the Future Business Leaders of America Club, at Flagler Palm Coast High School, attended the State Leadership Conference, March 21-23, in Orlando.

The students competed in various business events and attended workshops.

Tyler Rutledge took fifth place in Business Communication. Over 3,400 students from across the state attended the conference and competed in 75 events. shanna@palmcoastobserver.com

Thirty riders showed off their skills Saturday, April 5, at the Whispering Meadows Ranch Horse Show.

The show was a celebration of what the students have learned throughout the year in their equine therapy ridding sessions at the ranch, which services children and adults with special needs.

“It’s also to honor their parents and community sponsors,” said Kristine Agu-

irre, program coordinator. “Make it a day just for the kids and their families to celebrate their accomplishments.”

Aguirre said it’s hard to express how much her riders have learned, some of them afraid to even touch a horse when they started their session. A couple of those students rode independently in the show Saturday. shanna@palmcoastobserver.com

shanna’s kitchen By Shanna Fortier | Community Editor

Apple pie, bubble gum and a wedding shower Every year, it seems that I add more and more weddings to my calendar. So far this year, I have six. I had to play Tetris with the save-the-dates and invites just to get them to fit on my fridge.

One of those weddings, one that is fast approaching, is between the Palm Coast Observer’s very own Account Manager Kaitlin Murray and SHANNA Cody Kennedy.

FORTIER The celebrate Kait and Cody’s upcoming “I dos,” Kait’s bridesmaids planned a wedding shower. But this wasn’t going to be your typical girls-in-dresses, sipping champagne and playing how-do-youknow-the-bride. For this shower, the men were going to have to play, too. They call it a wedding shower instead of a bridal shower and the hip, in-the-know, party planning people call it a “Jack and Jill” shower.

I was asked to help prepare for the shower, and by help prepare, I mean making three batches of pie crust, while giving out instructions to Jaci, Maureen and Sarah for their individual responsibilities for the pie making. By the end of the night, we had 30 mini apple pies, complete with lattice top crust. (The tops took forever!)

But that was just the prep. The real fun was at the party the next day.

For years, I have been watching my friends answer questions about their soonto-be husbands and suffering some sort of consequence if they got the answer wrong.

But since Cody would be joining Kaitlin at this shower, it was time for him to suffer,

Your biggest investment shouldn’t be your biggest worry.

It’s been your dream to own a home. Sleep easier knowing it’s protected by a company you can trust.

too. Jaci and Sarah set it up, we all wrote questions and submitted them to the cup: It was time to play the “Not Yet Newlywed Game.”

The consequence: a giant, multiflavored bag of Double Bubble.

For every wrong answer, the couple would be given another piece of gum. The game began, and five questions in, there was yet to be a correct answer. The gum wads were growing and, from the look on Kait’s face, the sour didn’t mix well with the bubble gum flavor. By the end of the game, half the bag of gum was gone, and the couple could hardly talk without slobbery juices escaping and dripping down their chins.

It was all fun and games, and although the couple didn’t know things like what each other’s Greek jerseys said in college, those aren’t the things that make a marriage. I am so happy for my friends and excited to celebrate them again in May, when they finally say “I do.” Congrats, Kait and Cody!

FOUR ARTISTS | by Shanna Fortier | Community Editor

Photo by Shanna Fortier

Right: Bill Mazzioti is one of four artists featured in the upcoming show at Hollingsworth Gallery. Left, from top: Jan Geyer's "Dancers in the Desert;" “#2” by Bill Mazziotti; and "Skyway" is a 29-by-36-inch mixed media on board by Robert Meilenhausen.

WORKING THE GRID Bill Mazziotti joins Jan Geyer, Harry Messersmith and Robert Meilenhausen in the upcoming Four Person show at Hollingsworth Gallery.

P

ainter Bill Mazziotti has been experimenting with a variety of styles over the past couple years.

He has dabbled in abstract impressionism and political art, never staying on one style for more than a couple months. But around the time he was asked to be part of a four-person show at Hollingsworth Gallery, Mazziotti had begun experimenting with the grid.

Artists typically use a grid to reproduce something in a drawing or painting. Instead of using a grid to create a piece, Mazziotti decided to make the grid the main subject of his pieces. The concept progressed from paper to canvas boards and eventually Mazziotti started working wooden frames into each piece.

“I started saying that if the frame is that important, then I incorporated it into the piece; now the frame or the

structure holding it is a part of the piece,” Mazziotti said as he sat in his studio. Canvases leaned against every wall. “It was a progression from one to another.”

But it has taken Mazziotti a long time to get to where he is now, as a working artist. He worked full time in various jobs while perusing art and going to school.

“I always did art,” Mazziotti said. “So as I was working, I went to school and took a long time to go through that because I’m working — if you enjoy it, you just keep doing it. To keep doing art you have to be a little nuts.”

Although Mazziotti has been making art for decades, he really just started showing his work in the last couple years. Now that he is retired and in Palm Coast, he can devote more time to creating a body of work for show.

His participation in the 4 Artist Exhibition at Hollingsworth Gallery is the most concentrated showing of Mazziotti’s work in his career.

“For me, I would say it’s the biggest show,” he said. “I like it. This the fourman show. You see four distinct styles in what we do and what direction we’re going.”

Local artists Jan Geyer and Harry Messersmith and New York artist Robert Meilenhausen join Mazziotti to round out the show.

“I think they’re all united in the aspect that they are all mature as artists, but there is a contrast,” Curater J.J. Graham said. “Bill is working rather conceptually, and playing around with space in a very different way than Jan is.”
