WEEKS ARRESTED The former supervisor of elections illegally recorded conversations, according to the state.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Former Flagler County supervisor of elections Kimberle Weeks was arrested the morning of May 6 on 12 felony counts, including seven counts of intercepting oral communication and five counts of disclosing oral communication.

The State Attorney’s Office filed an indictment against Weeks on May 5 after an eight-month investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Weeks, who resigned from her post suddenly Jan. 6, had surreptitiously recorded a conversation between County Commissioner Charlie Ericksen and County Attorney Al Hadeed during the 2014 election cycle, then aired part of the recording on WNZF radio, alleging that it showed improper or illegal behavior on SEE WEEKS PAGE 5A

Beach taxpayers.”

JOY MCGREW, Commissioner

special April 30 Flagler Beach City Commission meeting about parking in the city did not lead to a vote to implement a paid parking plan.

Instead, in an inconclusive end to two years of study by the city’s parking committee, the commission asked city staff to further review the committee’s proposals.

The parking committee — which recommended the city transform 662 spots into paid spots 36 weeks each year — was scheduled to sunset after it presented its findings to the commission, and will not meet again.

Mayor Linda Provencher, who served as one of the committee’s six voting members, suggested the city consider seeking outside opinions rather than laying such a review exclusively on the city’s staff, but warned that the parking committee wouldn’t be available to provide further input.

“We’re finished,” she said. “Do whatever you want; we’re never meeting again.”

Most of the commissioners were willing to add some paid parking in the city. But they were wary of the wide-reaching plan favored by the parking committee, which drew opposition from residents and business owners who feared it would hurt the city’s reputation and local businesses’ revenue.

“I really think that we need to have more businesspeople or more residents sit in on this committee,” Commission Chairman Marshall Shupe said. The six-member parking committee included two local business people alongside Mayor Linda Provencher and three city staff members, but neither of the businesspeople — as a speaker pointed out during public comment — depend on tourism dollars.

Commissioner Steve Settle suggested an approach that would involve limited paid parking, but thought the issue required more detailed study. “There’s as many unanswered questions in the report that was done for us as there are answers,” he said.

Commissioner Joy McGrew said the visitors who flock to the city’s beach should help pay the cost of maintaining it. “I’m tired of having my taxes as a taxpayer continue to go up because a family comes in from Ocala,” she said.

“So I truly believe that the cost needs to be shared. It does not need to fall solely on Flagler Beach taxpayers.”

She said people in the Northeast pay $20 to spend a day at the beach — the parking committee’s favored proposal would involve a $5-$7 per day rate in the city’s lots, or $1 per hour at metered spots along the streets — and scoffed at complaints that visitors would avoid Flagler Beach and go elsewhere to avoid paid parking.

“Well, where are you going to go?” she said. If people drive to other beaches to avoid paying, she said, “Now you’ve spend money and time to travel and get there.”

But McGrew opposed charging visitors to park at downtown businesses, favoring a more limited paid parking plan that would target beachgoers. “If you had a method of collection at each walkover, then that is where you’re going to get the revenue

The parking committee — which recommended the city transform 662 spots into paid spots 36 weeks each year — was scheduled to sunset after it presented its findings to the commission, and will not meet again.

from the people we need the revenue to come from,” she said.

Commissioner Jane Mealy said she didn’t trust the committee’s calculations on the revenue that would be brought in by a paid parking plan. “See, I don’t believe these numbers,” she said. “I just can’t see where a town this size is going to bring in the kinds of numbers that were shown.”

But Commissioner Kim Carney warned that if the city doesn’t want to create a parking plan that would force visitors to pay for beach maintenance, then its residents will have to pay for it.

And if they continue to oppose paid parking, she said, “I will not sit here today and say that I will

not vote for a tax increase in July or August.”

About 50 members of the public attended the meeting, and about 20 addressed the commission during the meeting’s public comment period.

Almost all of the speakers opposed the paid parking plan favored by the city’s parking committee, asking the commission to either leave the city’s parking as it is or adopt a milder option. Each comment against a paid parking scheme prompted audience applause.

“I’m what I consider to be a South Florida refugee,” said Flagler Beach attorney Dennis Bayer.

“I came here from South Florida

because I didn’t want to pay for parking. … I think a lot of people, when they talk about the charm of the area, it’s because you don’t have to pay for parking.” Bayer said he worried that paid parking would hurt local businesses and what he called “a very precarious recovery.”

The Flagler County Chamber’s Rebecca DeLorenzo and Gretchen Smith also opposed paid parking. “What we’ve heard from our members and Flagler Beach businesses is that paid parking, as it’s presented in Option 4” — the option favored by the parking committee — “is not desirable,” DeLorenzo said.

Smith said that an informal

Chamber survey of members showed that Flagler Beach residents and businesses seemed opposed to the plan.

County Commissioner Barbara Revels, a Flagler Beach resident and owner of Coquina Real Estate and Construction, said paid parking would push more beach-goers to try to park in front of local businesses. “I’m going to be out like the parking czar saying, ‘Please don’t park here while you go to the beach for eight hours,’” she said.

Revels had to do that once before, she said, when a car full of young surfers pulled up in front of her business, and the surfers got out and began waxing their boards in one of her parking spaces. She asked them to leave, she said, but “it was very uncomfortable to have to do that, because they were just there to have fun.”

Ocean Art Gallery owner Frank Gromling said he’s been frustrated by beachgoers who park in front of his gallery on Oceashore Boulevard for hours. “But, in the overall big picture, I worship those cars, because they’re here,” he said. “They’re doing things.”

The city’s parking committee — consisting of Shelley Warner, Scott Spradley, City Manager Bruce Campbell, Public Works Director Robert Smith, Mayor Linda Provencher, Planning and Architectural Review Board member Roseanne Stocker and one nonvoting member, City Finance Director Kathleen Doyle — had presented the city with four options for parking, and endorsed the fourth and most drastic one: paid parking in all current city lots and in some streets, including Oceanshore Boulevard, in the downtown corridor for 36 weeks per year. Parking passes would be offered to city residents for about $30, which would cover administrative costs.

Option 4 got three votes, from Campbell, Smith and Stocker.

None of the committee members voted for Option 1, which would leave the city’s parking situation as it is. Option 2, which would not add paid parking, but would involve enforcing time limits in spots along Oceanshore Boulevard and pushing beach visitors into proposed lots on South Flagler Avenue, got just one vote: Provencher’s. Option 3, a plan to add paid parking in all city lots but keep on-street parking free, got Spradley’s and Warner’s vote.

The presentation to the City Commission on Thursday evening followed 26 public meetings and two public workshops held since the parking committee’s creation in early 2013, and the committee’s formation itself was the result of a goal in the city’s 2012 Strategic Priorities Plan which listed “Parking Fees” under the goal titled, “Generate Additional Revenue.”

Under Option 4, a total of 662 spots would become paid, with on-street parking costing $1 per

“I just can’t see where a town this size is going to bring in the kinds of numbers that were shown.”

JANE MEALY, commissioner, the sole vote against sending the parking issue back to staff for more consideration

hour and lots costing $5 per day on weekdays and $7 per day on weekends. Paid parking would be enforced 36 weeks per year — the free period would be between Oct. 15 and Feb. 15 — and Flagler Beach residents would be eligible for a roughly $30 pass that would let them park for free.

Implementing Option 4 would require borrowing $867,369 from the city’s general fund for startup costs like lot improvements and the installation of 61 payment kiosks, and paying $74,790 annually for fees, support and maintenance of the kiosks.

The parking committee’s analysis predicted a return of $173,474 per year during the first five years of operation under Option 4. To repay the city’s total capital outlay of $1,241,319 by 2021, each of the city’s 662 paid spots would need to bring in $375 per year.

The plan also assumes a total of between $60,875 and $95,600 in fines in forfeitures in 2016-2017, with income from fines increasing each year.

The third option explored by the committee, which would add paid parking 36 weeks per year in city lots but keep on-street parking free, would require six kiosks and $107,800 in startup costs that would be borrowed from the general fund.

About $15,000 of that money would be for the demolition of the Public Works Building on Fourth Street to create an additional lot. The committee estimated that the paid parking for Option 3 would bring in about $26,950 per year for the first four years of operation.

The kiosks for Option 3 would cost about $6,120 per year in fees, support and maintenance.

Each of the 170 paid parking spots created under Option 3 would need to generate $204 per year in order for the city to repay its expected capital outlay of $138,400 by 2020. Option 3 would not include beach parking passes for local residents.

A startling number of Palm Coast homes aren’t keeping up with their water bills.

The city has shut off water to local homes for nonpayment 2,791 times since January, and close to 11,000 times between April of last year and April of this year, according to city records — an average of about 900 shutoffs per month.

The city sends out about 33,130 bills utility bills monthly.

If each of the shutoffs represented separate homes — they don’t, exactly, because some are shut off more than once in a year, and the city doesn’t track of how many are repeat offenders — that would mean about a third of city homes had their water shut off once during the year.

Palm Coast Customer Service Manager Cynthia Schweers, who helps the city deal with non-paying utility customers, said the numbers aren’t unusual for a city of Palm Coast’s size.

Florida cities like Melbourne and Holly Hill have similar numbers relative to their population, Schweers said.

“They’ve all been in that range,” she said.

puts $10,000 into a special fund for the county’s social services department to disburse to people who need assistance paying their water bills, said Utility Director Richard Adams. The money goes quickly: The department uses all of it on the roughly 75 Palm Coast residents it helps each year.

“We’ve had a lot of people losing their house, about to go into foreclosure, the water’s off, and they get into tough scenarios,” Schweers said. “We do offer them one payment arrangement a year … and then we give them to the (social service) agencies.”

But now the city is planning something else: a program to be rolled out with the city’s planned new payment system that will let customers donate a few dollars each month to help out others who cannot pay.

That new system — which will also allow real-time updates when someone pays a bill online, so that the payment is instantly reflected on their online account — will be designed by payment system Paymentus to replace the city’s current system.

It could be rolled out as soon as July, City Manager Jim Landon said.

son, or $3,032 for a household of four, Nickels said.

But the program doesn’t take into account costs like hospital debt or high medical costs that could eat up a large portion of that money, nor whether or not an applicant is paying child support.

Only about 50% of the people who initially apply for aid turn out to be eligible. Some don’t return with the supporting documentation the county needs in order to disburse the aid: Florida identification, Social Security card, birth certificate, proof of income and three months’ worth of bank statements.

For others, their income is too high, or the county’s assistance workers find that they’re misspending.

“A lot of times we find that when we look at people’s income based on their checking account statements, we usually find that in part their water bill was in that money, but maybe over three months, they have spent exorbitant amounts on what we’d consider frivolous spending,” like eating out, Nickels said.

Some couples come in for help, but county workers find they spend about $40 several times per month eating out at restaurants.

Others spend similar amounts on having their dog groomed monthly, she said.

“We try to point out to them that, ‘Gee wiz, that was your water bill,’” Nickels said. “We’re not saying, ‘Don’t eat out,’ we’re saying, ‘Pay your bills first.’”

The county requires aid applicants to attend a one-hour budget class.

Schools to cut 28 EOC exams allows districts more leeway on assigning end-of-course exams.

“We have an assessment team in place,” Oliva said. “We’re in the process of eliminating 28 end of course exams in kindergarten through third grade … which will significantly reduce the number of exams these students have to take.”

The reduction will also eliminate double testing, Oliva said.

NEWS EDITOR

Flagler Schools plans to eliminate 28 course exams for children from kindergarten through third grade.

“These exams were pretty much just given for the reason of offering an exam,” Flagler Schools Superintendent Jacob Oliva said.

The Florida House passed a bill in the last legislative session that

Weeks: 12 felony charges Ericksen’s and Hadeed’s parts.

The Florida Commission on Ethics, rejecting complaints by Weeks, found no fault with Ericksen, and county officials said the tape had been doctored, with important context omitted.

But the State Attorney’s Office said the recording itself, captured with Weeks’ smartphone with neither man’s knowledge or consent, was illegal under a Florida law which bars surreptitious audio recording and the dissemination of an illegal recording. It drew the attention of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which opened an investigation led by Inspector Phil Lindley.

Investigators who searched Weeks’ office Oct. 3 “obtained certain electronic data and devices,” according to a charging affidavit.

“Forensic analysis of the data revealed numerous recordings of

communications made of numerous persons on numerous dates” between April 2014 and September 2014, according to the affidavit.

Ericksen and Hadeed were just two of many officials whose conversations Weeks intercepted illegally, according to the indictment. Others included Palm Coast City Clerk Virginia Smith and County Judge Melissa Moore Stens, as well as Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner and Florida Elections Division attorney Gary Holland.

There was also a charge for illegally intercepting the conversation of an FDLE officer, Michael Coomans. All charges were thirddegree felonies.

Weeks surrendered herself at the Flagler County jail at about 8:05 a.m. May 6, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman said. She was released at about 10 a.m. on $12,000 bond.

OBAMA’S MEDICAID EXTORTION The legislative session collapsed because of a Mob-like battle between the president and governor.

MATT WALSH OBSERVER MEDIA GROUP

If you read last weekend’s newspapers in Florida, you’d get the impression there was a crisis the size of Saturn in Tallahassee, and it’s threatening to bring about the collapse of state government.

So what: Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli adjourned the House of Representatives three days before the officially scheduled end of the 2015 legislative session. And he did it without the House and Senate completing the one job they are required to do — adopt a budget before July 1, the start of the new fiscal year.

For those in the vortex of the capital, this was a big deal, even ruled a violation of the Florida Constitution. But for millions of Floridians who pay attention tangentially to Tallahassee, there is little reason to lament that lawmakers were unable to pass dozens of bills. Cynical as it may sound, taxpayers are better off that way. The less lawmakers do, the less they infringe on your freedom.

But here’s what this whole “crisis” comes down to: how power corrupts and turns into Machiavellian vindictiveness — all at the expense of the innocent.

It’s Barack Obama, his federal Mafiosi and Congress’ Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, versus Florida Gov. Rick Scott and the Florida House.

And at the center of this power corruption? Medicaid and Florida’s 10-year-old Low Income Program.

They are the chess pieces that help illustrate one of the worst parts of federalism: legalized extortion. It’s when a higher level of government takes money from taxpayers and then redistributes the money to a lower government — as long as the lower government follows the higher government’s dictates.

In the private sector, we call that racketeering, extortion and the Mob. And if you challenge the Mob, watch out. You pay a dear price.

It’s easy to fall into the “MEGO” mode (my eyes glaze over) when you try to understand the political, Machiavellian maneuvering that has transpired the past six months. But the story behind the outcome — which was the collapse of the legislative session — demonstrates the levels of vindictiveness that sometimes consume politicians who are so antithetical to each other. That would be President Obama and Gov. Scott.

It starts with Jeb Bush You have to start at the beginning, which goes back to 2005. That’s when Florida Gov. Jeb Bush visited the George W. Bush administration to seek a waiver from federal Medicaid requirements. Gov. Bush was at the forefront of experimenting and innovating — what the Founders envisioned states should do. Gov. Bush wanted to convert Medicaid from a feefor-service program to managed care to control its spiraling costs.

The G.W. Bush administration granted the waiver, creating “LIP,” the Low Income Program. This allowed federal money to be sent directly to a select group of Florida hospitals and county health departments to reimburse them for care given to people who could not afford to pay, “uncompensated care.”

Each year, the program distributed $1 billion in state and mostly federal money.

It worked. The feds renewed the waiver for nine years, and the amount of money

involved grew to $2 billion.

Not everyone liked LIP, of course. All government redistribution has winners and losers. In this case, hospitals that didn’t receive LIP money thought the system should be changed so that the money more closely followed the patients and not just a select group of hospitals.

Obama administration officials, after the adoption of Obamacare, didn’t like LIP either. The leaders of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) began to let Florida officials know they wanted changes. It didn’t take a genius to recognize what CMS officials ultimately wanted — Florida to expand Medicaid under Obamacare.

The Mafia had spoken The Obama administration’s opposition to LIP came to a head in early 2014, when the CMS feds and Florida’s Agency for Healthcare Administration (ACHA) renewed the LIP waiver. The feds told the state that was it — the last time CMS would grant the waiver, and in 2015, the program would need to change.

The Mafia had spoken: Do it, or the $2 billion would be gone. But exactly what the state was to change CMS did not say.

Elizabeth Dudek, secretary of ACHA, told the Senate Ethics Committee last month: “When we were told last year there would be only a one-year extension to the current program, we began discussions with CMS. We contracted for an independent study, and that would provide a beginning for our discussions.”

Apparently, little through the spring, summer and fall.

Florida Senate leaders were incredulous in April when they learned that the even though the state knew $2 billion in federal funding was tenuous, little had been accomplished in more than 10 months.

The feds and ACHA say they were waiting for the results of a “Navigant” study.

Keep in mind, too, what also was occurring during 2014: • Even though the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 had ruled the federal government could not coerce states to expand Medicaid, President Obama repeatedly lobbied publicly for states to expand their Medicaid programs. Liberal newspaper editorial boards and progressive think tanks and political candidates incessantly called for expanding Medicaid to every state. It’s free money, they always said. How can you turn it down?

• All the while, Gov. Scott was ensconced in his re-election campaign.

In a step clearly aimed at assuaging his opponents and those who favored Medicaid expansion, Scott, to the surprise of many, reversed his opposition to Medicaid expansion and said he was for it at the start of the 2014 legislative session and at the peak of his campaigning. This came despite his spending millions of his own money to defeat Obamacare before being elected governor and his consistently expressing opposition to Obamacare.

Feds said they’d be flexible But in spite of his new position, Scott did little in the 2014 legislative session to persuade the House to change its opposition to Medicaid expansion. Neither side — the feds, nor the Scott administration — showed much urgency during most of 2014 to change the LIP — the deadline approaching and the $2 billion at stake.

An ACHA spokesman said the agency and CMS held monthly calls to discuss the Florida’s Medicaid waiver. But it wasn’t until February 2015, just before the legislative session began, that the

pace of negotiations increased.

Secretary Dudek, this past April 15, told the Senate Ethics Committee: “We had discussions in December (2014) and January (2015). CMS indicated it would be flexible in the normal time frames and that a new waiver would not be required.”

In that same hearing, former Senate President Don Gaetz said to Dudek: “We knew a year ago that LIP was ending or being radically changed. When we dealt with this in the past, we submitted a 235page proposal to the federal government.

Did we submit a formal proposal with narrative any time before late February or March of this year?”

Dudek: “No sir. We were told we did not need to … They would have flexibility with us to formulate something with us together.”

According to an ACHA spokesman, state and CMS officials had “frequent communications” — five phone meetings — from mid-February to mid-March about LIP, although no agreement emerged.

CMS ties funds to Medicaid Then, on April 6, despite all of the meetings and phone calls, and with lawmakers increasingly on edge about the fate of LIP funds, Dudek issued a press release. CMS has “made no commitments around whether [it] will fund the LIP program or when [it] will reach a decision … CMS still has not offered a date or a time to continue discussions about the future of the LIP program.”

This was no accident; CMS officials knew the imminent deadline lawmakers were facing.

The pressure from Washington and on legislators intensified a week later.

April 14: Victoria Wachino, acting director of the CMS, sent a letter to the state regarding LIP. The next day, Justin Senior, Florida’s deputy secretary for Medicaid, responded to Wachino: “Thank you for your letter of April 14, 2015, regarding the future of Florida’s Low Income Pool (LIP). Your letter, for the first time, clearly links a continued LIP with Medicaid expansion. In NFIB v.

Sebelius 132 S. Ct. 2566 (2012), the U.S. Supreme Court explicitly warned the federal government against attempting to coerce states into participating in Medicaid expansion — yet that appears to be exactly what the federal government is attempting here.”

Mafia retribution and extortion at work.

To the Ethics Committee, Secretary Dudek said: “We worked under the understandings we had with them as to how we would negotiate this. We moved forward in an open a process as we thought we could. But they have 100% control over how this works.”

The feds knew all along what they were doing.

In turn, Scott, like a mob chief defending his turf, responded with his own retribution. On April 28, he filed suit against the Obama administration for attempting to coerce the state to expand Medicaid.

On that same day, the Florida House adjourned — three days early, with no budget passed and still no decision on the $2 billion in LIP funding.

Two heads of state in a power struggle, one trying to extort the other. The Legislature, caught in the middle, in disarray.

It has about 45 days to pass a budget. And Florida taxpayers, low-income recipients of LIP care and hospitals and their employees — all collateral damage.

Political power corrupts, absolutely.

NOT THE BRACELET SHE WANTED TO BE IN 2:15 p.m. — 600 block of Palm Coast Parkway Grand theft: An asset protection employee at a local clothing store noticed a young woman enter the store’s jewelry department, grab three bracelets and a necklace from the display case, walk over to the shoe section, then remove the jewelry from its packaging and hide it in her purse. The woman then returned to the jewelry section and repeated her routine before walking out of the store without paying. The asset protection employee stopped the woman, a 31-year-old Palm Coast resident, in front of the store, escorted her back inside, and called the Sheriff’s Office.

The store got all of the jewelry back — it totaled $355 — and a deputy arrested the woman on a charge of grand theft shoplifting.

FIND A RECYCLE BIN 6:42 p.m. — 400 block of U.S.1 Criminal mischief: A 20-yearold Palm Coast woman called

the Sheriff’s Office and said that a man she knew threw a glass bottle at her car as she drove by him and another man on the 300 block of East Booe Street in Bunnell.

She continued driving until she reached U.S. 1, then check her car and noticed a crack in a rear window where the bottle had struck it.

A deputy found the bottlethrower, a 21-year-old Bunnell resident with multiple arrests on his record, on East Booe Street.

Deputies arrested him and charged him with criminal mischief, tempering with a witness and shooting or throwing a deadly missile.

walking down his driveway when he noticed a teenager in his neighbor’s Cadillac. He yelled at the teen, who dropped several items on the ground and took off running. The teen met up with another boy at the intersection of Roxton Lane and Rockwell Lane, and they continued together on foot.

The car’s owner looked inside the Cadillac and noticed that items were moved around in the glove compartment. She told a deputy that she kept the car unlocked.

A deputy found and stopped the youth who’d waited for the burglar at the intersection.

The teen’s father spoke with deputies by phone and said he recognized their description of the car thief, and gave them the teen’s name.

Deputies found the teenage car burglar at his home and took him to the county jail.

When he arrived, he blurted out, “Did my friend get caught, too?” The teen’s statement was recorded on a deputy’s body camera.

Sheriff’s Office gets new boat

$80,845 recovered

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office recently purchased a 23-foot Shearwater boat with a grant from Florida Inland Navigation District Waterway Assistance Program, which matched the Sheriff’s Office’s contribution of $30,000. Total cost: $63,605. Flagler County Sheriff James L. Manfre said, “It is important for our deputies to have a marine presence on our Intracoastal Waterway,” he said.

“Our marine patrol and divers assist with water rescues, water craft accidents and other water related issues.”

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was among 15 law enforcement agencies in Florida to receive a portion of forfeited $2.4 million for its participation in the successful federal prosecution of Zachary Timothy Rose. The Sheriff’s Office was presented with an $80,4845 check. “We have not yet made definite plans for the use of the money, but we have discussed using it to purchase license plate readers for patrol,” Sheriff James L. Manfre said. “This is a tool used by surrounding agencies for warrants and active cases.”

The following is an adapted news release from the Flagler County Communications Office: There are few places that offer a good view of what Florida looked like when it was discovered by the Spanish 450 years ago, but Flagler County has one of them.

With the completion of a new trail at Mala Compra Park – as well as two boardwalks over the interdune salt marshes and dune walkovers to the beach – visitors will get a glimpse of the coastal hammock that in other areas of the state has largely been carved up for residential development.

A new mile-long trail off of Flagler County’s 19-mile A1A trails system connects Bings Landing Park on the west side of State Road A1A to Mala Compra Park, providing a nice excursion to the beach. It intersects with the Old Coast Guard Road that was used during World War II to keep an eye on the coastline.

Overall, the project came in about 18% under budget.

Money was set aside for the project construction by the original developer of the Hammock Dunes, Admiral Corp. nearly 30 years ago.

Work on the interchange at Matanzas Woods Parkway and Interstate 95 will begin June 5.

Matanzas Woods Parkway will be closed for two months between 7 p.m. June 5 and Aug. 10, after the school year ends. See matanzas95interchange.com.

MAN CHARGED WITH ANIMAL CRUELTY IN PUPPY’S SHOOTING A convicted felon in illegal possession of a firearm shot and killed a neighbor’s Labrador retriever puppy on May 1 when it escaped her home and entered his property, according to a Sheriff’s Office charging affidavit. The dog’s owner, 35-year-old Jeanne Durrance, told a deputy that her puppy got loose from her home and ran across the street to 46-year-old Kevin James McClenithan’s home at 14890 State Road 100. She said McClenithan shot the dog on his property, and that she found it in a fenced area next to the house. McClenithan told a deputy that the dog became aggressive and tried to bite him and the homeowner, 62-year-old Martha Roach. Neither Roach nor McClenithan was bitten or reported an aggressive dog to authorities. Roach surrendered the gun, a 12-guage shotgun, and McClenithan was charged with animal cruelty and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. For the full story, see palmcoastobserver.com.

Woman bites Flagler Beach cop Lisa Danielle Tyson, a 30-yearold Palm Coast resident with previous arrests for battery on law enforcement officers, bit a Flagler Beach Police Department officer who tried to arrest her for causing a disturbance

In an attempt to arrest her April 30, a policewoman chased after her on foot, and, during a scuffle, the officer said, Tyson “leaned forward and bit my forearm and would not let go.”

Tyson was brought to jail.

The new site on Old Kings Road would include bathroom facilities and a paved runway.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler County may soon get a new runway on Old Kings Road South. But no need to worry about noisy jet engines: The only planes using it will be remote-controlled model airplanes.

The project, not yet approved by the County Commission, would cost about $199,145 and relocate the Radio Aero Modelers club runway from its current spot at 1100 Old Kings Road South to the household hazardous waste collection site at 1700 Old Kings Road South.

On the new site, the county could create a multi-faceted remote-controlled vehicle park that could include ponds for remote-controlled boats, two pads for remote controlled helicopters and a dirt course for remote-controlled cars, County Administrator Craig Coffey told county commissioners at a May 4 County Commission workshop.

“Think of this as a tourism aspect — what we can do for niche-type tourism that we can be very competitive in. We can compete with the big guys out there,” Coffey said. “Our horseshoe pit — though it was a much smaller scale, much cheaper scale — that, we were able to just host the state tournament at last week.”

The new site would have a paved 600-by-60-foot runway, replacing the club’s current cloth runway, and would also have restrooms. The current site does not.

The money for the project would come from landfill ownership reserves, Coffey said.

Commissioner Barbara Revels was concerned about the county spending money for a park that would be used primarily by a private club.

“I think we should be sending a message loud and clear that the county doesn’t spend a great deal of money that we have in reserves for private clubs,” she said.

She asked if other people or groups would be able to use the space, and Coffey replied that they would, with restrictions.

Commissioner Nate McLaughlin noted that the county had spent money on horseshoe pits at Ralph Carter park.

“But that’s wide open to the

public,” Revels replied. “I don’t know if this will be wide open.”

Coffey said the facility will not be restricted to the RAMs club, which has about 120 members, but that there will be rules for the facility to prevent “inappropriate use.”

Commissioner Frank Meeker said that the site would need some restrictions. “What you don’t want is somebody from the public coming onto the site and using a radio frequency that’s already in use by somebody from the facility, and their radio frequency overrides the other guy’s and causes both of the vehicles to crash,” he said.

RAMs member Michael Randazzo said club members are members of a national areo modelers club and covered by its insurance plan, and that the crurrent site requires remote controlled pilots to have insurance coverage or join if they’re going to use the site frequently.

But, he said, the hobby is still easy to get into: Even big-box stores like Walmart sell remote controlled planes, which start as low as $200 or so, and passersby at the current site often become interested.

“Many times we get members of the public coming in for the dump, and they stay and watch us fly,” he said. “I totally understand Commissioner Revels concerns: It looks like you’re giving a lot of money to one club. You’re not, you’re improving the town.”

McLaughlin said that spending money on the radio-controlled vehicle park wouldn’t be hat different from spending money on boat ramps or horseshoe pits, which are also used by only a portion of the community.

“I think as a whole, if you look at our park system, at each park we’re trying to accommodate someone or some group or something that they’d like to do,” he said. “We’ve invested, even in the soccer fields in Palm Coast, we’ve invested TDC dollars. We’re looking at the skate park at Wadsworth Park. We’ve got the ball fields. … I think overall the whole park system’s available; folks can go to the park that provides the enjoyment that they want. This will just be a park that for the most part is going to be enjoyed by the RC folks.”

Attention, scientists Rymfire Elementary School’s flagship medical lab brings business, community and students together.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Florida Hospital Flagler CEO Ken Mattison visited the new Rymfire Elementary Flagship Medical Lab on Friday, May 1, and said it was well worth the $7,000 of equipment that the hospital donated to help make it possible.

“One of the aspects of improving health is education,” he said.

“When I get older, and I need someone to take care of me, it may very well be the students in this class.”

The lab, he said, helps increase interest in the health care field among young students. And that’s exactly the kind of “Classrooms to Careers” thinking that inspired Rymfire’s Medical Lab, as well as the rest of the flagship programs in other Flagler Schools.

“We don’t do little things in Flagler County, we do things big,” said Rymfire Elementary Princi-

pal Paula St. Francis.

She beamed as she visited the classroom with Mattison and other teachers. The lab is an open classroom with no chairs. Instead, students sit on a large periodictable rug for instruction from Academic Coach Donelle Evensen and then stand at rolling, red platforms with their clipboards.

The lesson today was on snot.

“Raise your hand if you knew your snot was healthy,” Evensen said to the class. The students giggled and then got to work analyzing the sticky green substance in a plastic cup. Some of them whispered to each other that it appeared to be Jello, not snot. But they played along and followed the steps of the scientific method to run tests.

The community is invited to tour the Rymfire Medical Lab, the centerpiece for the school’s focus on medical sciences, health and fitness, at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 12.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

‘WE STARTED ON A PIECE OF NOTEBOOK PAPER’ Jacob Davis, 9, says learning at the medical lab is “pretty much amazing.” “Most of the time, you have a test on the desk, and you’re listening to the teacher, but in this one you’re moving around the room and you’re testing out things,” he said, adding that he’d like to be a dentist some day — not a doctor. “It’s easier to fix teeth than a super-rare disease,” he said.

Jacob was one of the students on the Principal’s Advisory Committee, which helped Rymfire Elementary School Principal Paula St. Francis decide how the lab would look.

Another student on the committee, 12-year-old Sydni Leon, said, “It’s amazing. We started on a piece of notebook paper, and now it came to life.” She added that the lab “makes you think about what you want to do when you grow up.”

Jacob Davis, 9; Sydni Leon, 12; and Dawson Cope, 10, were part of the Principal’s Advisory Committee, which helped steer the creation of the medical lab.

Many people outside of the school district help make the lab possible.

Dr. Steven C. Bower and Florida Hospital Flagler Chief Nursing Officer Robert Davis were instrumental. In addition, the Flagler County Education Foundation’s Innovation Grants program provided a $10,000 grant, half of which will be provided by the Florida Consortium of Education Foundation matching grants program. Additional medical professionals involved are Dr. Jeremiah Mahoney, Dr. Ken Davis and Dave and Desiree Chalice, owners of Peak Fitness & Rehabilitation.

County commissioners are divided on whether or not to tear down old wings of the former Memorial Hospital building as the facility is remade into a Sheriff’s Office Operations Center.

Sheriff James Manfre doesn’t need them, he told commissioners at a Monday, May 4, workshop.

But commissioners had hoped to use the space to house other services — such as the health department, free clinic, or guardian ad litem offices — that Manfre feared may conflict with the building’s law enforcement purpose.

“I’ve never had a problem with other county services being on that site,” Manfre said. “But it’s hard to have a site with law enforcement and other uses that are really compatible.” It’s also difficult to design a law enforcement building around a structure with fingers, he said, and the hospital building has four of them, each about 4,150 square feet.

Redeveloping them would cost about $2.25 million; tearing them down and starting fresh would cost about $2.73 million.

Commissioner Barbara Revels said at the workshop that the county bought the building with plans to use it as more than just an operations center.

acquiring this property, we said … that we had social service needs, and that that site, according to us, had a great amount of square footage for other social service needs,” she said. “I think that we can maintain those buildings so they look decent on the outside, and maintain them and put windows on them and keep them ready for build out.”

Commissioner Nate McLaughlin said that if the county intended the building to be a Sheriff’s Operations Center, it shouldn’t box the Sheriff into a design that would be incompatible with that use. “I’m fully in favor of demolition now.

I wanted originally when we were looking at this to demolish the whole thing,” he said.

Commissioner George Hanns opposed demolition. “What sold me on this was pretty much what Mrs. Revels is saying, that we would solve so many problem by obtaining this site,” he said.

“We paid a tremendous amount of money for that site as is, and maybe you won’t need my vote to do what you all want to do, but I’m going to vote my conscience, I can guarantee you that, and what I feel I supported in the very beginning.”

County Administrator Craig Coffey said he would bring the issue back to the board at a future meeting.

SPORTS STATE FINALS:

5

LOCALS REACH Palm Coast athletes left the state track meet with their heads held high, after worthy performances.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

J

ustin Pacifico, of Flagler Palm Coast, had never made it to the state meet in the 800-meter run, but that didn’t stop him from assuming he was going to win it at this year’s event on Saturday, May 2, at the University of North Florida.

Pacifico started toward the end of the pack at the beginning of the run, but as the race continued, he made his way into third place.

With just under 200 meters to go, he began to pull away from the rest of the boys, and when it seemed like he was going to win it, another runner stole the championship in the last five meters.

“I wanted to win,” he said. “I thought I was the only person in those last 30 meters, but I give credit to the guy for doing a great job.” While he wished for that top spot, Pacifico, a junior, stood on the podium as second best in the state, but he doesn’t plan on standing there or anywhere beyond that, next year.

“The good thing is that I still have next year,” he added. “I’ll come back and win it.”

Pacifico and the rest of the FPC boys’ efforts led to an overall ninth-place state finish.

“It wasn’t a bad final result, but I can’t say it wasn’t disappointing considering our goals at the beginning of the season and how we looked a couple weeks ago,” coach David Halliday said. “Injuries over the last few weeks and a super-tough region managed to derail our title hopes. Jimmie (Robinson) has not been 100% since March, and (Que’Shaun) Byrd tweaked his hamstring last week, which was a huge blow. So we had some adversity early, but we fought back.”

TOP

TOP 10 FINISHES

Although FPC’s Justin Pacifico was the only one to stand on the podium for FPC or Matanzas, numerous competitors took medals and Top 10 finishes in the state. Devonne Friday finished seventh in the 300 hurdles; Alantra McFadden was fifth in the discus throw with a new school record of 120 feet, 10 inches; Mark Bertrand fifth in pole vault; LaDale Batson 10th in the triple jump; 4x400 relay fifth (Pacifico, Kadeem Wynn, Dominic Green and Marcel Williams); and 4x800 relay seventh (Wynn, Ashton Garrett, Alex Centi and Pacifico).

Matanzas’ John Guilbe took eighth in the 3A pole vault.

Justin Pacifico won the silver medal in the 800-meter run at the state track meet.

Kylie Dahlberg got 11th place in the 3A 800-meter run with a new Matanzas record of 2:22:52.

MATANZAS’ TOP FINISHERS

Although she had to compete in the pole vault with a sprained ankle, that didn’t stop Savannah Drummonds from finishing fourth in the state with 10 feet, 6 inch jump, right next to her sister, Kinley, who took fifth.

The night before the meet, Savannah Drummonds attended her senior prom on crutches, after injuring herself at practice a few days prior.

“Going into the meet, I wasn’t sure if I could vault,” she said. “I had my ankle wrapped and felt alright, and the adrenaline and the atmosphere helped me a lot.

I was disappointed because I wasn’t at the top of my game, but given the circumstances, I was very pleased I stayed consistent with what I’ve been vaulting all

John Guilbe clears 12 feet with ease in the 3A pole vault.

year.” Kinley Drummonds, who reached her personal best of 10 feet, is looking forward to the challenge of jumping higher in her next few years.

Very few athletes accepted a medal with more joy than senior Tahiem Shakir, who took fifth in the high jump with 6 feet, 2 inches. Shakir was projected to finish 14th out of the 16 jumpers.

“When I saw that I was really low on the list, I was just happy with the fact that I made it,” Shakir said. “I may not be first, but I’m fifth in the states. How does that sound? That sounds good.”

“The good thing is that I still have next year.

I’ll come back and win it..”

JUSTIN PACIFICO

Mark Bertrand finished fifth for FPC in the 4A pole vault.

Is second place the first loser?

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS WRITER

T

he first organized sporting event I ever played in was a middle school football game, and with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, my team was down 33-0 against our crosstown rivals. I was furious.

But when we got the ball, on the first play, I ran for a long touchdown to erase the shutout, and I gave our fans something to cheer for. As selfish as it may sound, I left that game feeling a lot better than I would have, had I not scored that touchdown.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of watching hundreds of high school student-athletes compete at the Track & Field Championships at the University of North Florida. While there were many who sought the coveted gold medal, only one could stand in the middle of the podium, bend his/her head down and look back up into the stands with a big smile and a new, shining medallion gracing his neck. (See the picture to the left.)

For some, winning would have felt great, but doing better than expected didn’t feel bad, either.

As Matanzas’ Tahiem Shakir waited for his fifth-place medal for the high jump, he conversed with his fellow opponents with his characteristic smile and personality, and then he hugged and congratulated his teammates, Savannah and Kinley Drummonds, on their fourth- and fifth-place pole vault finishes.

“A lot of the guys kept saying they didn’t want an eighth-place finish, but how many people can say they’re the Top 10 in the state in anything?” Shakir said.

There was also a girls 4x100 relay team that took third place, and they seemed happier than the gold-medal winners. They never stopped smiling, waving and laughing on the podium, and when they heard how fast they ran, their joy multiplied. If only the same could be said about another third-place winner.

A female runner from a school out of our area exhibited the worst sportsmanship from all the participants I saw. When some athletes didn’t get first, they planted their faces in their hands, while others just took some time to themselves. Not this one. After refusing to smile on the podium, she refused to take a customary picture with the winner and second place, who was on her team, and when she hopped off the podium, she threw her medal in the dirt and walked away.

The PDA Florida soccer club has found a new home in the Florida Premier League beginning in the 2015-2016 soccer season. The FPL is going into its fifth year of existence within the overall National Premier Leagues.

PDA Florida has enjoyed a wide range of success in the development of its players and teams across the area, and now it is looking forward to taking the next step into development into a more competitive league. Being accepted into the NPL is a great way for players to experience much greater opportunities.

“PDA Florida is elated to join the other top clubs in Florida as members of this progressive league system under U.S. Club,” said Josh Braun, director of coaching for PDA Florida. “The NPL’s club-based model of play aligns perfectly with the player development philosophy that our club has at the core of its foundation.”

PDA is already a big supporter of U.S. Club soccer in supporting the hosting of the NPL Girls Showcase each December as well as multiple Player Development Program events, which is a free Olympic Development Program.

The club looks forward to continuing to enhance that partnership and bring new opportunities to the area and also bringing to the league a club that shows well both on and off the field.

For more, including Registration for Player Identification Dates for teams, visit: www.pdaflorida.org.

The club will host its Player Identification dates for NPL 13U-18U teams and 11U-12U NPL developmental teams.

“The opportunities that come from competing against the most elite clubs in the state, and ultimately the nation through the NPL structure, is a platform that we feel will only further enhance our players’ ability to reach their maximum potential,” said Rich Weber, vice president of the Competitive Program for PDA. “It is clearly a great partnership with U.S. Club that we look to continue to foster.”

Florida Hospital Flagler CEO Ken Mattison, volunteer and 2015 Mission Award winner Barbara Clutter and FHF chaplain Eddie Goncalves

FLORIDA HOSPITAL FLAGLER HONORS VOLUNTEERS In honor of National Healthcare Volunteer Week, April 12-18, the five Florida Hospitals in Volusia and Flagler counties recognized the volunteers who donate their time and talents to the hospitals.

On April 16, Florida Hospital Flagler hosted a volunteer appreciation luncheon at Halifax Plantation for more than 130 volunteers.

During the event, which included lunch and music by Al Belletto, volunteer Barbara Clutter received the 2015 Mission Award for exemplifying the hospital’s mission to extend the healing ministry of Christ to patients and families.

“This special week presents an opportunity to celebrate the everyday people who accomplish extraordinary things through service,” said Daryl

OVER 300 VEHICLES IN STOCK TO CHOOSE FROM!

Tol, Florida Hospital Volusia/ Flagler CEO. “These community members are essential to the healthcare team as they give of their time freely and ask for nothing in return. We are so blessed to have such an incredible group of volunteers; they are a precious and important part of our team.”

Florida Hospital Flagler has nearly 300 active volunteers assisting in 25 departments throughout the hospital.

Since 2005, the volunteers have provided more than 26,000 free blood pressure checks at the hospital and cared for more than 6,000 guests in the Judith C. Macko Cancer Resource Library, since it opened in 2010. Financially, this organization has donated more than $1 million to the hospital since 1983.

Flagler Habitat: empowering women, building homes SHANNA FORTIER ASSOCIATE EDITOR

is nothing new for her. She was thankful for her home to be chosen for the Women Build.

A big corporate partner for National Women Build Week is Lowe’s, which gives a $5,000 grant to each affiliate that participates in National Women’s Build Week. Nationwide, there are 300 Habitat affiliates participating, which brings the Habitat International grant total to $1.9 million just for Women Build Week.

The program brings together women from all walks of life to address the housing crisis facing millions of women and children worldwide. Employees from the

Palm Coast Lowe’s joined volunteers for Palm Coast Community Church on the build site, along with newly crowned Miss Florida USA Kristie O’Brien.

“It’s fun,” Elliott said, adding that homemade hand scrubs were available on breaks, thanks to last week’s DIY event. “As much as the guys are making fun of it, I think they like to see so many different volunteers come out.”

The Saturday build was just the beginning. Over the next several months, the committee will be fundraising and gathering volunteers for a full-house women build in September.

The job site at 1655 Water Oak Road, in Daytona North, was pinked out Saturday, May 2, with 35 women who joined together to put on siding for the Flagler Habitat for Humanity Women Build.

“Women Build” is Habitat for Humanity’s program created to empower women so they feel like they can serve on the worksite, too.

“The women’s build is all about including women, as opposed to excluding men,” said Lindsay Elliott, executive director of Flagler Habitat. “It’s creating a comfortable environment for women to come on the job site and take the forefront.”

One of the volunteer project coordinators, Jenn Kassan, said that empowering women to take the lead is the reason she got involved.

“I’ve been on a few builds where the men, goodheartedly, take over; but I wanted to be the one on the ladder, hammering nails,” she said. “How awesome it is to help out one of our community members? What I love about Habitat is it’s a hand-up, not a hand-out. I love that it empowers the homebuilders to be part of building their home and gets the community out to help them.”

Soon-to-be homeowner, Carmen Otero, who was building alongside volunteers Saturday with her son, Cristyan Espinal, 18, said that as a single mom, stepping into male-dominated roles

Bunnell students win cookoff

THAT’S A TON!

WADSWORTH STUDENTS COLLECT 2,236 POUNDS OF FOOD

It was cooking time at Jacksonville Jaquar’s EverBank Field where four teams from Florida were chosen to compete in the “Fuel Up to Play 60 Gridiron Breakfast Challenge.”

Bunnell Elementary’s Wellness Club, led by Cathie Zanella and Danielle Burton have been working on creating recipes for this year’s challenge. Students Aria Reiter, Jaymes Pringle, Reina Robinson and Faith Buckley submitted their Popeye’s Ricotta Tater Cakes and were selected to compete against three other schools.

After a tough battle, the students won first place for the second year in a row. The judging panel was made up of professionals, including James Beard-nominated Chef Hari Pulapaka, Florida Dairy Farmer Linda Lussier and Fuel Up to Play 60 Student Ambassador Bobby Sena.

Wadsworth Elementary School students participated in a food drive April 1-17, to collect food for the Grace Community Food Pantry. The food drive collected a total of 2,236 pounds of food. Kathy Middleton’s kindergarten and Vera Kim’s sixth-grade classes gathered the most and will be rewarded with ice cream parties.

Woman’s Club awards $9,000 The Flagler Woman’s Club awarded nine deserving seniors with $1,000 scholarships. The 2015 recipients are from Flagler Palm Coast High School: Trinity Daley, Hanna Drosdick, Matthew Gartner, Diana Nguyen and Marianna Sbordone; and from Matanzas: Zachery Klopman, Jarlene Peralta-Valerio, Stefano Schibeci and Mikayla Short.

The club members will honor these seniors and their families at its annual scholarship lun-

Arts Foundation awards scholarship The Palm Coast Arts Foundation presented two Ernie Refolo Scholarships to deserving graduating seniors April 21. The $500 awards were presented to Flagler Palm Coast High School senior Caitlin Burns-Eriser and

Matanzas High School senior Dominic M. Davis.

Being the first International Baccalaureate student at FPC to pursue the IB Higher Level Theatre study led Burns-Eriser to direct an upcoming school production. She has theater experience with the City Repertory Theatre, Flagler Playhouse and the Flagler Auditorium.

She plans to pursue a major in musical theatre.

Davis wrote in her application: “The arts have had an interest in me long before I developed an interest in it. I am a storyteller.

Art is not simply a way of doing; it’s a way of seeing.”

Matanzas NHS inducts members The National Honors Society at Matanzas High School inducted new members last month.

National Honors Society is not just honor roll based, but also serves to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of schol-

arship, leadership, service and character.

The 2015 inductees are Veronica Arrascue, Michaela Benvenuto, Kylie Dahlberg, Brendan DiCerbo, Adrian Dos Santos, Allayna Duffy, Megan Dukes, Edgardo Gonzales, Kobi Kane, Ashton Kato, Elizabeth Kirkconnell, Andrew Klopman, Simon Krassner, Nicholas Kubiet, Micayla Lavaglio, Bryan Lemus, Kaylee Mandt, Bianca Robinson, Storm Schalit, Abiel Souverain, Erin Tice, Payton Tucker, Jailyn Van Horn, Max Wolf and Shana Wolf.

BIZ BUZZ

Marketing groups for ribbon cutting Curley Tail Design and Marketing 2 Go held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the anniversaries of both businesses Thursday, April 30, at City Marketplace.

Cindy Dalecki celebrated five years with Marketing 2 Go, while Kim Fitzgerald, owner of Curley Tail, celebrated 17 years of doing business in Flagler County. Curley Tail has been voted Best Advertising Agency in Flagler County from 1999 to 2014. Fitzgerald was also chosen as “one of the most influential women in business” for 2013 by the Volusia Flagler Business Report.

“It is fulfilling to help brand and market so many of the people I went to high school with that are owning and running successful businesses in our community,” Fitzgerald said.

“I am hearing lots of positive feedback about the economy in Flagler County and feel blessed to be a part of its success.”

Cindy Dalecki and Kim Fitzgerald are all smiles at their April 30 ribboncutting celebration.

which in-turn helps my clients move forward to reach their goals.”

Boehm came up with the idea after talking to a friend about a local church’s fundraising efforts and wanted to help in some way.

“Fundrzrs is an innovative way for organizations to raise funds in a high tech world,” Boehm said. “People are realizing that car washes and candy sales are not the only way, we are bringing fundraising into the 21st century.”

Express Vault originally opened in 2012, but was put on hold after a family tragedy.
