A HOUSE REUNITED A Palm Coast man is reunited with his Syrian parents after their detention at Orlando International Airport. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

E

li Habbabeh’s parents weren’t there when he went to pick them up at arrivals at Orlando International Airport Jan. 29. He hoped the issue was minor, but he’d been watching the news. They were flying from their native Syria. The hours started to tick by. He’d seen the TV footage of detentions and protests at airports across the country. “We got to the airport and two, three hours passed,” said Habbabeh, 26. “That’s when I started getting worried.” Habbabeh, who moved to the U.S. from Damascus, Syria, about six years ago, is now a citizen and the owner of the Blaze N Flame tobacco shop at 4845 Belle Terre Parkway. He came to the U.S. after falling in love with and marrying an American woman (they have since divorced), and not long after Habbabeh arrived in the United States, Syria’s civil war began. He’s been trying to bring the rest of his family over from Syria. His parents, Mary Safar and Abdulrazzak Habbabeh, applied for green cards about a year ago, and received them about three months ago, he said. They booked their flight — which took them from Syria through Lebanon, then Dubai and finally to Orlando — about three weeks ago. Then, on Jan. 27, President Donald Trump issued an executive order: No nationals from seven Muslim-majority nations — Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia or Sudan — would be allowed into the U.S. Chaos ensued at airports as Department of Homeland Security staff tried to comply with the order while opponents protested and judges granted emergency stays nullifying, at least temporarily, various parts of the order. The judicial orders compelled DHS staff to release people who’d already arrived in the country and were being detained. (The administration later also walked back the ban slightly, stating that it did not apply to people with green cards.) The airport staff members Habbabeh was able to speak with didn’t seem to know what was going on with his parents. “We tried to have some information from the airport, but they were like, ‘We can’t give you any information,’ because they said they didn’t have any access to them,” Eli Habbabeh said. And they weren’t allowed to call. It took almost eight hours and the intervention of U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, of Orlando — who showed up at the airport pressing DHS staff to follow the judicial order and release Habbabeh’s parents and one Iraqi national who was being held along with them — before Safar and Abdulrazzak Habbabeh were released, Eli Habbabeh said. He hadn’t seen them for six years. It was their first time in the U.S.

SOUND OFF “Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!”

“They were really — my dad was hurt, because he was like, ‘We’re not terrorists. We’re not refugees. We’re not here to take nothing from nobody.’ ... My mom, too — she was really stressed about everything, and scared about having to go back. But she was like, ‘Either let us go, or let us go back.’”

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, in a Tweet Jan. 29

‘MUSLIM BAN’?

The executive order banning nationals from those seven Muslim-majority nations has been referred to as a “Muslim ban.” The Habbabehs aren’t Muslim. They’re Catholic. Eli Habbabeh said he supports the president and likes the fact that he’s a businessman who could create real change. He follows Trump on social media. The president has since said that the executive order was not intended to be a “Muslim ban.” Opponents of the executive order pointed out that Trump had spoken of banning Muslims during his campaign, and that Rudy Giuliani, in an appearance on Fox News, said Trump had asked him to help craft the executive order for the purpose of enacting a “Muslim ban” legally. But the order is broader than that in some senses, and narrower in others. It bans all Syrian refugees from the U.S. indefinitely, suspends all refugee entries from other countries to the U.S. for 120 days (for Muslims and non-Muslims), and bans all nationals from the seven listed countries from entering the U.S. regardless of their visa category for 90 days. It does not ban non-refugee Muslims from other countries. It initially also banned green card holders who are nationals of the seven listed countries — preventing people who live in the U.S. legally and have homes, families and jobs here, in some cases for many years, from returning to the U.S. after what many had thought were brief trips abroad. That part of the order has been rescinded. The order also stated that there would be exceptions for religious minorities, with Trump, amidst widespread backlash Jan. 29, specifically mentioning Christians in the following tweet: “Christians in the Middle-East have been executed in large numbers. We cannot allow this horror to continue!” But there’s been no guidance on how DHS agents or customs officials are to separate out religious minorities from religious majorities. How does someone prove his religion? And does minority status apply to non-Christian minorities in the Middle East? At least six Syrian Christians have been sent back to the Middle East since the order, according to reporting from national news organizations. And advocacy organizations have sued, saying the ban imposes an unconstitutional

religious test and violates due process. One of those organizations is the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR — the nation’s largest Muslim legal advocacy group. CAIR representative Wilfredo Ruiz told the Palm Coast Observer that dozens of people have approached Florida CAIR offices seeking advice. “What were are advising everybody — especially anybody who is a national from those countries or holds dual passports from one of those countries — is not to travel without first consulting an immigration attorney, or us,” he said. CAIR sees the order as a Muslim ban — or the beginning of one, which may broaden, Ruiz said, citing Giuliani’s statement to Fox SEE REUNITED PAGE 10

WHO’S AFFECTED? The Jan. 27 executive order titled “Protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States” does the following:

n Bans Syrian refugees indefinitely from entering the U.S. n Suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program entirely for 120 days n For 90 days, bans entry to the U.S. by nationals of the following countries: Syria, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan. n After the order was issued, the administration said it does not apply to green card holders, who would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

“Defending the American people against the threat of radical Islamic terrorism is a central responsibility of the federal government and it is clear that our national policies need to be reformed to better discharge this duty.” RON DeSANTIS, U.S. Rep. for Florida’s 6th Congressional District

S.E. Cline Construction, Inc.

Palm Coast Holdings, which has been responsible for promoting Town Center real estate as the future “true downtown” of Palm Coast, will be closing its office at the end of March. Allete Inc., a publicly traded energy company, owns the land in Town Center but is motivated to get out of the real estate business. To accelerate the sales effort, Allete is closing Palm Coast Holdings and planning to hire a regional real estate brokerage firm to market its properties, which also include Palm Coast Park, a large development planned near U.S. 1 and Matanzas Woods Parkway. If the brokerage firm is successful, the move could pave the way for new developers to enter the Palm Coast market. “I’m looking at it as a positive thing for Town Center, for Palm Coast,” said David Lusby, vice president of commercial land sales for Palm Coast Holdings. “There’s tremendous potential.” On the other hand, the brokerage “could sell it to a portfolio holder who wants to sit on it for 10 years,” said Michael Chiumento, whose law firm shares the third floor of the City Centre building with Palm Coast Holdings, overlooking the lake in Town Center. If that happened, Town Center’s progress could come to a halt. Chiumento, whose family moved to Palm Coast in 1973 when there were fewer than 100 homes built, said this pivotal moment is not unlike 1996, when ITT, Palm Coast’s original developer, decided to sell off its holdings. The buyers of the land eventually built Grand

Haven and Hammock Beach. “New developers came in, and Palm Coast went crazy for 10-12 years,” he said “Maybe the same thing might happen now.” Lusby said he hopes to have a role in the future of Town Center, and he is optimistic that Allete’s move will be a positive thing for Palm Coast. “Palm Coast has never had a definable downtown, just strip commercial development on Palm Coast Parkway,” Lusby said. “Now we have that in Town Center. It was always going to be a longterm development, 25- to 30-year build-out. But seeing Town Center fulfill its potential is personal to me. The vision was started by this team.” The early leaders of the city — Mayor Jim Canfield, City Councilman James Holland, City Manager Dick Kelton — were also excited about the prospect of a downtown in Town Center, Lusby said. Developer Charlie Faulkner also played a role. “This property in Town Center, it could have been just something nondescript, some residential development,” Lusby said. “But we wanted something better, the city wanted something better, and I think we’ve delivered on that. It’s not overnight. We’ve suffered a significant economic downturn, and we’re only now starting to feel the impact of the recovery, which has been excruciatingly slow for Flagler County. We bought into the dream, we worked long and hard with our partners at the city, and I still believe it has the potential to be something very special.”

Gov. Rick Scott announces $15.8 million in appropriations to rebuild dunes, including the dunes in Flagler County The money would help the county repair breached dunes before a new hurricane season begins June 1.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott speaks to local officials and members of the press during a Jan. 27 press conference at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park.

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Standing on the beach behind mounds of white sand recently added to plug a breached dune at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Jan. 28 announced a $15.8 million allocation to rebuild dunes in Flagler County and other counties battered by Hurricane Matthew. “It’s to make sure that we keep these beaches up,” he said. “It’s going to be for adding beach, adding sand. It’s also going to be doing reconstruction, and building and reconstructing sand dunes. It’s to protect our buildings, protect our roads. And, of course, we want our tourists to get back here, enjoy our beaches and our beautiful weather.” Flagler will get about $5.38 million of that money, and will have to match it with up to $4.6 million in county money. The county is still negotiating with the state over how the county’s portion of the match will be determined. The rest of the $15.8 million will be divided between Volusia, St. Johns and Brevard Counties. The money will be funneled through the state’s Department of Emergency Management, Scott said. He appropriated it using an emergency executive order.

Jonathan Simmons

Restoring Flagler County’s entire 18-mile coastline is expected to ultimately cost about $38 million, with about $15 million of that being spent within the city limits of Flagler Beach. The influx of state money from the emergency order is intended to help Flagler County plug areas of dune that washed away during the storm — leaving the businesses and homes behind them unprotected from future flooding — before hurricane season begins again on June 1. If that doesn’t happen, two dozen homes in Painters Hill would be

vulnerable to structural damage and flooding, and about 600 near the middle of the county’s coast could flood in a future storm. County Commissioner Nate McLaughlin said the county hopes the dune work will leave local dunes stronger than they were before Hurricane Matthew. “Our hope is to be able to beef up, not just replace, and create a stronger dune environment here,” he said. Many homes along the coast are on septic systems, and flooding from a breached dune could overwhelm the waste-

water system and push effluent into the streets, creating a “major public health problem,” he said. The county government hopes to do as much dune work as possible before sea turtle nesting season begins May 1, because once nesting season begins, work on the dunes would require additional permits, and nests would have to be relocated to protect eggs and hatchlings from the reconstruction work. County officials said at a Jan. 23 commission workshop that they hope to have a contract in place to replenish the dunes by March 1.

Crash, then coma: Deputy stays by wife’s side

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

T

hrough the third-floor windows near the intensive care unit, the sun is setting right in Trever Manning’s eyes, keeping him awake. He turns away, trying to get comfortable in a padded chair in the waiting area, and he rests his eyes. It’s 5 p.m., and Manning is exhausted, but not from his long hours as a new Flagler County Sheriff’s deputy working at the jail. He has spent the last seven days at Halifax Health Medical Center, in Daytona Beach, waiting for news about his wife. Catherine Manning, 23, was in a car crash on Jan. 23 that nearly took her life. She was turning north onto U.S. 1 from Old Kings Road, on her way to teach high school English in a poor community an hour away when, according to the Florida Highway Patrol’s report, she didn’t yield to traffic. Then she overcorrected and ended up rotating her car, resulting in a T-bone collision. She was flown to Halifax and is currently in a medical coma as the doctors treat trauma to her liver, pelvis and brain. For now, all Trever can do is pray and hope that she will survive and one day come home whole. I went to see him Jan. 30 at the hospital, as he was waiting for a neurologist to come for another check-up on Catherine. I asked Trever if I could include information for their gofundme page in the Observer to help out with medical costs, and he agreed. For the sake of writing a story, I also asked him some basic questions, like, How has this terrible event impacted him? As is typical with Trever, he

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

A young Flagler deputy waits for word on his wife, who is in a coma after a car crash. responded by poking fun at himself. With a smile, he said, “All the cliché things: It just makes you appreciate life, just want her back in one piece.” But despite his unsentimental demeanor, it was clear that he has been shaken. He later told me, “I’m just trying to keep it together at this point.” Sitting with Trever and me was Catherine’s mother, Marian Rocher, who lives in Orlando. Like Trever, she also has been at the hospital for the past week. Her watch was stuck on 9:41 because the battery ran out, and indeed, it felt to her as though time had stopped altogether. Rocher said that when Catherine was a 2-year-old, she was always asking for bedtime stories — not from princess books but from the Bible. She remembered laughing about that with her husband, Julio, and thinking, “Something special has to come of this.” Catherine has always been a good girl, Rocher said. She has never smoked, never drunk alcohol. And when Catherine and Trever got married in 2014 and later sealed in a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, “Everything she so wanted was coming true for her,” said Rocher, who is not a Mormon herself but is supportive of Catherine’s faith. Trever said he had been lucky that he happened to have been scheduled for a short week at the jail when the crash happened, and he has only had to use a couple of days off to stay at the hospital so long. But it could take a month before there is any definitive word on Catherine’s future. Fortunately, the Sheriff’s Office has indicated it would work with him. Sheriff Rick Staly came to the hospital recently to visit with Trever, and later, Staly told me, “We’re a family. ... We’re going to make sure he has the time to spend with his wife. He needs to be there for her, and the agency needs to be there for him. While our staffing is low, and we’ll probably be paying

overtime to backfill when he’s off, it’s the right thing to do to support this employee.” Trever said he’s planning to work at the jail during the next month but still spend as much time as he can at the hospital. In addition to prayers, the community can help by contributing at gofundme. com/wyhaxncs-catherinesmedical-fund. Staly also said deputies in the Sheriff’s Office can donate personal days to Trever if they would like. It was clear at the hospital that Trever and Rocher were focused not on work or money but on more existential questions. “Why her, when she’s only been good and has only tried to

live to do what’s right in God’s eyes?” Rocher said. “I asked God when we first came here to please take me in her place. It’s what every mother thinks: ‘I’ve lived my life, and she’s just starting hers.’ But it doesn’t work that way. ... The biggest fear I have is knowing that we’re not the only family asking for their child. Why should we be any better than anybody else? That’s what scares me the most.” Our conversation was interrupted when Trever turned and noticed a man with a clipboard walking down the hall. “That’s the neurologist,” Trever said. Suddenly, he wasn’t looking tired anymore. He jumped out of his chair and said, as he and Rocher raced to catch up to him, “Sorry — gotta go.” Trever later told me that the doctor ordered another test. Too soon to know anything definitive. He thanked me for visiting and texted, “I hope God is listening.”

LETTE RS Another fiasco, and who is paying the price? The seniors The following letter was submitted by Denise Calderwood. To send your letters, email editor@palmcoastobserver.com. Dear Editor: The newly elected City Council members appear to be heading down the same path as the past councils: approving costly projects without doing the research or asking their constituents — we, the people — about what their true needs are. Apparently they didn’t listen to President Donald Trump’s inauguration speech: We, the forgotten people, are going to take back our communities and take action. Where are the conservatives? Apparently, Councilman Steve Nobile is the only one,

as he’s the only one to question the cost of $7,830,036 on one renovation. Yes, the Palm Coast Community Center is old and in need of renovation, but at what cost? We are going to give an outof-town construction company, AJAX, the massive bid. Hopefully, the city staff will ensure that local subcontractors will be used for the project. And did the citizens really know about this issue? I am an advocate for more facilities to be built or acquired for community purposes, but I found out about the workshop the evening before, and, by the next week, the vote was taken to spend the money. So which council member had time to speak to their constituents? I listened to a couple of hundred people at the local home show, and they were surprised to hear the deal was already done.

The facility will be closed for at least a year. City staff said the community groups who use the facility had arrangements made for them to find other space, but the space is a small room located on the Frieda Zamba pool complex that can accommodate only 25 people, and it is not even comfortable. However, we have a nice golf course and clubhouse, a nice private tennis complex, a rowing club, a bridge club, and a nice outdoor venue for the arts, but we don’t have a senior center — because providing for those services is a county function. Our current Senior Services has a waiting list for Meals on Wheels. How long can these seniors wait? The 2015 Palm Coast survey says citizens would pay more for a senior center and senior services. But the city squandered opportunities with the

Palm Coast Yacht Club and former ITT building. Mayor Jon Netts, you should be ashamed of yourself for letting this happen under your watch because you were present for it all! Something crazy is going on here in Palm Coast and Flagler County. Haven’t we had enough ethics complaints validated that demonstrate this? But yet we, the forgotten ones, are letting the city and county manager get away with spending vast amounts of our money on certain projects because it benefits a select few. I am writing this for Senior Matters, a program under Family Matters of Flagler, a notfor-profit organization, with offices located at 703 E. Moody Blvd., Bunnell. Call 263-3053 to get involved.

Deputies arrived at a Bunnell home to find a man screaming that he’d been stabbed, blood running from a wound in his arm. They arrested the man, 27-yearold Earnest Eugene Thomas, after determining that his wife had stabbed him in self-defense. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched at about 1:49 p.m. Jan. 24 to check on a domestic disturbance at the home on Cheryl Elaine Drive, in Bunnell near the Bull Creek Fish Camp, according to a Sheriff’s Office arrest report. When they arrived, a deputy wrote in the report, “the front porch area had blood spatter in the area immediately in front of the front door. The front door itself had blood spatter running down the outside of the door.” Inside, they found Thomas yelling, “Help me, help me, I’ve been stabbed!” Blood soaked a bandage across his right arm. The floor was bloodied and marked by footprints. A deputy placed a tourniquet on Thomas’ arm, and rescuers took Thomas to a designated helicopter landing zone so the county’s emergency services helicop-

ter could take Thomas to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach. Thomas told deputies he’d fought with his wife, and she’d stabbed him. He admitted to slapping her and threatening her with a pocket knife. But she “grabbed the knife and stabbed him in the arm before running from the house naked to a neighbor’s residence,” taking three children — her 8-year-old son, 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old grandson — with her, according to the deputy’s report. Deputies retrieved the bloodcovered knife, which had a fourinch blade, and also took Thomas’ cell phone and a pair of bloodsoaked jean shorts as evidence. Deputies notified the Department of Children and Families that three children had been in the home during the attack. They charged Thomas with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, domestic battery by strangulation and tampering with a witness. All are felonies. He remained at the county jail as of Jan. 26. Thomas had also been charged with misdemeanor battery domestic violence in September 2016 after the same woman told deputies he’d struck her. That charge was later dropped.

City Council considers $6,800 raise for City Manager Jim Landon Landon makes a base salary of $168,878. He has not gotten a raise in eight years. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon might get a 4% — or $6,800 — raise. Landon, who makes a base salary of $168,878, requested the raise during a City Council workshop Jan. 31, noting that he hasn’t received a raise in eight years. He has been the city manager for 10 years, since Feb. 1, 2007. “There were a few years where everybody got a raise in the city at that time; another year, anybody over $32,000 got a pay raise, and since then, we’ve always had pay raises — except for yours truly,” Landon told City Council members at the workshop. “It’s been eight years since I’ve had a pay raise. Last year, I requested something very minimal, trying to make it simple. It becomes very political, and we have a discussion out in the community, so it’s not simple.” The City Council last considered a pay raise for Landon in July, before the election that brought in new Mayor Milissa Holland and council members Nick Klufas and Robert Cuff. The former council voted 3-2 against a pay raise for Landon at the time.

But Holland, speaking during the Jan. 31 workshop, gave the city manager high marks. She noted that she was basing her evaluation of Landon solely on her experience with him since she took office, which included the recovery effort following Hurricane Matthew. “I’m very proud of Palm Coast,” she said. “Just coming back from a League of Cities conference, I can tell you there is no greater pride than sitting in that room and truly understanding the value of a wellrun city, as well as a fiscally wellrun city. I think you handled the hurricane debris clean-up exceptionally well. ... I am in favor off keeping you on, and continuing momentum.” Landon compared his pay to city staff members’ pay, noting that staff members have repeatedly received raises while he has not. Landon’s contract calls for the potential for a pay raise every year, subject to the approval of the City Council. But it also calls for annual evaluations and salary reviews that for many years did not happen. Landon told council members that average pay raises for city employees have been 3%-4%, and averaged 3.32%. If he’d been receiving a 3.32% raise every year, he told council members, he would be making $205,437 this year. If he’d received 4%, he’d be making $213,685. He suggested a few options: Doing a “salary reset” that would

give him the equivalent to what would have been either a 1% or a 2% raise each year, putting him a either $180,000 or $190,000 this year, with automatic annual 2% increases in the future unless the City Council decides against them; or, giving him either a 3.32% raise this year (bringing him to $174,484) or a 4% raise this year (bringing him to $175,633), in both cases with automatic 2% raises in the future, subject to City Council approval. The council members did not speak in favor of giving Landon retroactive pay to make up for the years in which he didn’t get a raise, with Holland saying that he could have asked for a raise in previous years. Two council members out of the five — Robert Cuff and Nick Klufas — said they did not support automatic raises in the future. “I’m not a big fan of automatic increases,” Cuff said. “It puts pressure on the council to say, ‘No, you’re not getting that this year.’” The council didn’t make a decision at the workshop, and will consider the issue again in the future.

The semi overturned on the roadway, blocking four lanes of travel. It had been carrying rolls of chainlink fencing.

Man killed in I-95 crash after truck strikes disabled car Orange Park resident Olando Ellis, 63, was killed on southbound Interstate 95 early the morning of Jan. 30 when a tractor trailer crashed into his stalled car. The crash happened at about 3:12 a.m. Ellis’ 2005 Mercedes S420 was stalled in the outside lane near the Matanzas Woods Parkway exit, and had no lights, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release. Ellis was sitting inside. The semi, driven by 55-year-old Orlando resident Edson Da Silva, was in the same lane, and “was unable to see the disabled vehicle,” and rear-ended it, according to the FHP news release. The truck overturned, slid through the road’s guardrail in the median, and came to rest blocking four lanes of I-95. Ellis died at the scene of the crash. Da Silva was not injured, according to the news release.

Palm Coast to create new survey The city of Palm Coast has created a new survey to administer in years when it is not participating in the National Citizen Survey. The proposed survey, which has not been finalized, contains questions tailored to the city. Here are a few of the 30 proposed questions (checkbox answers or blanks are provided on the survey): n What is your favorite city park? n How frequently have you used the trail system within the city? n What types of recreational programs would you like offered in Palm Coast? n Please rate shopping opportunities in Palm Coast as a whole. n Please rate the quality of the cell phone service at your home address. n Please rate the traffic flow along major traffic corridors in Palm Coast as a whole. To see the entire proposed survey, view this story at palmcoastobserver.com.

A HOUSE REUNITED News. “The intention of the order is to implement a Muslim ban, and this is obviously unconstitutional, and against the law,” Ruiz said. “We are now moving in a multi-platform position: in the streets, the airports and the courts. We are challenging the xenophobic series of executive orders, because we see it as part of a trend that Mr. Trump is already showing.” Ruiz mentioned that not long before the executive order entry ban, Trump had spoken of building a wall on the border with Mexico. “We see how he is systematically presenting ethnic minorities, and now religious minorities, as a security threat to our nation, rather than highlighting the contributions we make to this nation,” Ruiz said. “We cannot let this go.” SECURITY

People who support the executive order have noted that the ban is temporary — it hasn’t become clear yet what might follow it — and have called it necessary for national security. One Facebook user, who identified herself as Heelda Yona, wrote: “I’m from Iraq myself, and live in Palm Coast, and I stand strongly with what President Trump is doing! ... Nothing wrong with vetting people and having strong borders. All other countries do it; why can’t we enforce our laws? And I’m a Christian. Back in Iraq, Christians are being slaughtered. My people are perishing every day, and the past administration did nothing for them!”

U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, whose district includes Flagler County, has supported Trump’s order. “Defending the American people against the threat of radical Islamic terrorism is a central responsibility of the federal government, and it is clear that our national policies need to be reformed to better discharge this duty,” he wrote in a Jan. 29 Facebook post. “Recently, we have seen terrorist attacks perpetrated by refugees from Somalia (at Ohio State and in St. Cloud, Minnesota, respectively) and witnessed the conviction of an Iraqi refugee, Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, for attempting to bomb shopping malls in Houston. It is incumbent upon the federal government to undertake adequate vetting so that those who seek to do Americans harm are not permitted to enter the United States, especially when foreigners seek to come to the United States from nations that sponsor terrorism or are hotbeds of Islamic radicalism. President Trump is right to be concerned about this, and I hope that, during the 90-day period outlined in the president’s executive order, the administration develops policies that will better protect the American people from this potent threat.” Responding to DeSantis’ statement, Ruiz said it’s untrue that people are not getting adequate vetting before entering the U.S. The process can take 18-24 months. “The reality on the ground is, for example, that a Syrian refugee in Florida told me his process took

FROM PAGE 3

23 months,” Ruiz said. “Another Syrian refugee, who lives in the Tampa area, his process took 27 months. ... All refugees who come into this country have been examined by the DHS, by the FBI and by immigration officers. (Trump) presents this chaotic situation, like people are coming here and we know nothing about them. That is totally false.” The executive order’s opponents have also noted that it targets countries that have not been major sources of terrorism against the West, while omitting countries whose nationals have carried out attacks on the West. “Why these countries? Why not other Muslim countries?” Ruiz said. “I know that from those (seven) countries, he doesn’t have any business, while in other countries ... Trump has hundreds of millions of dollars of investments.” Trump’s administration has stated that the seven countries were originally identified by the DHS under the Obama administration as countries of “concern.” ‘STRESSFUL’

Eli Habbabeh said he understands the need for security at the borders. He could get behind extra vetting. But he didn’t like how Trump went about it. “We don’t want everyone to be let in without a background check,” he said. “I’m not against what the president’s doing; he might know what’s right for the country — but not in that way. There’s people who got their visa one or two months ago, people fly-

ing and already in the air, people who have green cards,” he said. At least, he said, people who had already received their visas or who had green cards should have been exempted from the ban. Ruiz suggested other ways to make Americans safer. “You should empower the FBI, Homeland Security, and immigration to have better resources to do the processing that they are already doing — if they need extra computers, extra collaboration — but you don’t close the door,” he said. Habbabeh said he’s relieved he was able to bring his parents into the country. They’re on immigrant visas, and he hopes they’ll be able to stay.

He would like to be able to bring his 17-year-old sister and 31-yearold brother over, but it’s harder to sponsor a sibling than a parent. They’re still in Damascus, and he worries — especially since the president’s executive order. “It’s really stressful for me because of what’s going on over there. ... I share a lot of video for (Trump), I like him on Facebook, and I follow him on social media,” Habbabeh said. “I like some of what he wanted to do and how he’s going to make things different, but not what he’s doing right now. You can’t just hurt all these people, and put them through a rough time and a miserable time, just because you issued an order.”

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FEST TO SWOOP IN FEB. 10-12

Billboard owner watches his last A1A billboard’s demolition A small crowd watched as one more unwanted billboard was removed from scenic highway A1A. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

In 2013, Jim Cullis, president of Grand Living Realty, bought 11 billboards along State Road A1A in The Hammock in order to tear them down. On Monday, Jan. 30, a small crowd gathered on A1A at the entrance to Hammock Dunes to watch the last one come down. It didn’t crash down as dramatically as some had hoped, but by the afternoon it was on the ground. Cullis said the cost to demolish the billboards was $4,000 to $8,000 each. “This is the last of the eight taken down this week,” Cullis

said. “This one has to be taken down, piece by piece. This was a three-year project, working with the Friends of A1A and Flagler County to restore the scenic beauty of The Hammock.” Marge Rooyakkers, president of The Hammock Community Association and Hammock Conservancy, was all smiles as she chatted with Flagler County commissioners David Sullivan and Greg Hansen. The Conservancy was also part of the project. “It’s just wonderful isn’t it?” she said. Cullis purchased the billboards from Hammock Dunes and sold them to the county for $80,000 in June of 2013. Cullis was allowed to lease the billboards for three years to help recoup some of his expenses. The time was up this month.

The Piece Corps of St. Mark by the Sea Lutheran Church in Palm Coast packed a church record of 154 quilts for Lutheran World Relief on Jan. 25. The quilts were made by a team of 25 women who gather each Wednesday at the church. Lutheran World Relief sends the quilts to needy people worldwide. In past years, they have gone to people in Mali, Nicaragua and the Republic of Georgia as well as to disaster areas within the United States. The quilts are used as warm coverings, but sometimes the recipients use them to build a shelter, or take the quilt apart to use the fabric. Funding for the warm batting inside each quilt comes from bequests to the group as well as the Women of the ELCA’s annual rummage sale and silent auction.

Registration is now open for the city of Palm Coast’s third-annual Birds of a Feather Fest, set for Feb. 10-12, offering a weekend of birding, photography, workshops, social events, nature art show and family activities.

The cheating Patriots don’t need another Super Bowl win.

Boys soccer become the latest Matanzas sports program to make history.

John Verdi

END ‘GOAL’ Pirate history: Matanzas wins its very first district championship. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

What’s better than avenging a region semifinal loss to the district juggernaut? For the Pirates (17-3-3), it’s beating said juggernaut to win their program’s first district championship. The Ponte Vedra Sharks have owned Matanzas throughout its history. The Pirates, however sought to put a stop to their onesided rivalry with a 2-2 tie earlier in the season at Ponte Vedra. But, for the district title this past Friday in Matanzas, the Pirates finished the job with a 2-1 victory. Players from Weber’s sevenyear tenure and those who played under former coach Tony Benvenuto attended the district final to witness their program make history. “Matanzas lost to Ponte Vedra in the district final on penalty kicks in Tony’s second year, and it’s been hard for them to live with,” Weber said. “Some even got emotional, seeing us win it, especially since it was at our place, because we’ve never even hosted it before.”

OVERCOMING THE DISADVANTAGE

Because the Sharks were given the district tiebreaker over Matanzas (they both posted a 5-0-1 district record), they had a first-round bye. Then, they blew out Orange Park in the district semifinal and rested their starters the second half. Matanzas, on the other hand, played two full games before Ponte Vedra. “They had fresh legs, but our mentality was there,” Weber said. “We played well from the start. I think we put a little doubt in them.”

ONE OF HIS BEST

To put this win in perspective, Weber said, “It’s right up there, and it means a lot because it’s a district title. We’ve gone to the district final four times, and we’ve had four state champions come out of our district. The year we went to the region final, Seabreeze beat us three times, including the district final on the ninth penalty kick. But, with nine seconds left with the golden goal in the second half of overtime to go to the region final. So, that one and this one for sure.”

THE PERFECT TOUCH Senior Adrian Lopes rebounded the ball from his teammate’s free kick attempt and tapped it in from close range in the 63rd minute for the goahead goal. Lopez considers that goal the biggest in his entire playing career, saying, “It was one of the best experiences of my life. It was just amazing.”

Right: Adrian Lopes practices dribbling routines before the team goes into a passing drill.

n a few days, churches will let out early. Evening employees will call in “sick.” Shopping markets will empty of wings, beverages and chips and dip. And friends and family will celebrate America’s favorite game: Super Bowl 51. Making their second appearance in the big game since 1999, the Atlanta Falcons will be playing against this millennium’s best team: the four-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. As stated in the title, I long for the Falcons to win their first title. Not because I loved them when my favorite player, Michael Vick, once started for Atlanta, and not because I hate the Patriots — like most football fans who also hope they’ll lose on Sunday. The Patriots have been proven to be cheaters on at least two separate occasions, so why should fans boast of cheaters being their best team ever? They were first exposed back in 2007, when the league discovered they had been illegally filming their opponents from 2002 to 2007, called “Spygate.” Their head coach, Bill Belichick, was fined $500,000 — the largest amount any coach has been fined — and New England was stripped of its first-round draft pick. Just before 2015’s Super Bowl, the Patriots were again exposed with “Deflategate” (Thanks, President Nixon for the annoying controversy suffix). Nearly all of their game balls were found to be under the minimum requirements, and quarterback Tom Brady was “at least generally aware,” according to the Tom Wells report. Of course, he was aware. What sports equipment manager or ball boy would take it upon themselves to change ball sizes without a player of Brady’s caliber knowing? And, if they’ve been found to cheat twice in a span of 10 years, do we really believe they have only cheated in these two instances? While you may deem Brady as the greatest to ever play and the Patriots as the best team ever, I’ll disagree. A couple asterisks have to accompany their greatness.

‘Mano a mano’ DeAugustino leads Bulldogs to third-straight second-place Rotary finish. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

With his father — wrestling Hall of Famer Steve DeAugustino — and brother, Steve — an accomplished high school and college wrestler — coaching in his corner, Flagler Palm Coast junior Mike DeAugustino won his second straight Flagler Rotary Wrestling Championship on Saturday, Jan. 28, at FPC.

THE REMATCH Mike DeAugustino will get his opportunity to avenge one of his two losses of the season when FPC hosts Osceola on senior night Thursday, Feb. 2. Osceola’s Malyke Hines defeated DeAugustino 4-2 with a takedown in the Christmas Knockout Classic back in December.

DeAugustino twisted his way out of this maneuver to end up the champion.

“It’s always a good feeling to come out on top,” DeAugustino said, “but, at the end of the day, it’s just another tournament to get ready for the state tournament in March. I have to improve and work on my mistakes from this weekend; I could’ve done some things better.” DeAugustino (37-2) was the only Bulldog to win a title, but nine others finished in the Top 6 to help FPC secure its third straight second-place Rotary finish. “I’m very proud of our team, considering we were missing Avery Holder and Johnson,” coach Tom Bartolotta said. ‘This tournament is a preview of how tough our regional tournament will be.’ Of the 32 programs that competed, four of Region 1-3A’s schools (Winter Springs first, FPC second Fleming Island third, and Hagerty fifth) finished in the Top 5.

TOP 4 FINISHERS

Mike DeAugustino hoped to win Top Wrestler of the tournament for the second year in a row, but he settled for just the championship of his weight class.

Head coach Tom Bartolotta couldn’t stay in his seat as Damion Figuoera beat former Bulldog Trace Insalaco for third place.

FPC’s Michael Martins and Tyrone Jones finished second in their respective divisions. Damion Figuoera placed third, and Steve Canidate, Eddie Bryant and Tyler Irigoyen placed fourth.

Encore, anyone? Matanzas and FPC played their closest basketball game in years. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

When Flagler Palm Coast head coach Gary McDaniel took over the Bulldogs basketball program in 2010, the Pirates won both meetings that season. Since then, Matanzas has lost every game by at least 13 points — 38 at the most — until now. Following FPC’s 66-61 backand-forth roller coaster win over the Pirates Friday, Jan. 27, at Matanzas, McDaniel exclaimed: “The rivalry has been reborn.” After the Bulldogs opened 8-0, neither team trailed by more than five points for the rest of the game. With every basket scored, shot blocked or turnover committed, half of the respective raucous crowd cheered for its team. “That was a lot of fun,” McDaniel said. “We knew there was going to be a big crowd and a lot of pressure, and they were coming for us at the end. But we played from our hearts and pulled it out. We hope this game will serve as a bridge to something a whole lot better

Both FPC and Matanzas supporters cheered for every possession.

going forward.” Matanzas coach Donald Lockhart shared the same sentiments while expressing his desire to see the rivalry game play out twice each season. “This atmosphere reminds me of my time with Palatka, against St. Augustine, but I think this was a little better — when you look in the stands and see everyone packed in there,” he said. “We’re going to see if we can work on a two-game schedule for next year.” The two did play in an exhibition game to begin the season. Matanzas won 65-60.

Flagler Baseball wins another championship

Interested in trying for a $100,000 hole-in-one?

Team Flagler won its third ISSA 60-AA World Championship in four years this past weekend in Dover. Team Flagler first played the Low Country Crushers out of Charleston, South Carolina. Flagler came from behind to beat them 16-15 behind John Martellucci (two doubles and four RBIs) and Steve Bolter (four hits and four RBIs). After its bye in the first round of the knockout stage, Team Flagler on Saturday began against Charlotte Senior Sports, which the locals beat 19-9, led by Tom Knott and Rick Rotevera (four hits each). Flagler faced Ranews from Acworth, Georgia, for the championship. The locals had previously beaten them 22-13, but Ranews put forth a better effort while still losing 13-10. Bolter was awarded tournament MVP, and he and John Martellucci, Rick Rotavera and Jim Zgorzelski were selected to the All-World Team. Team Flagler has won eight of its 13 major tournaments in the last five years, but this group will be leaving 60-AA to move up to 65U in its next tournament in Valdosta, Georgia, in April.

Palm Coast Sparrows remember the Wickels with uniforms The Palm Coast Sparrows wore all-black uniforms for their match against Hogtown Lacrosse Club on Sunday, Jan. 29, to remember and express their condolences about the death of mother and daughter Terri and Margaret Wickel, who were killed in a car crash Jan. 16. Margaret Wickel was a Matanzas High School student.

“I went to school with Jesse Flores (Terri Wickel’s son), and we’re best friends,” said Team President Byron Catroppa. “I know what he’s going through, and I want him to know that we have his back 100%.” Some of the Sparrows also went to Matanzas High School with Margaret, and know the family.

Head Pro Eric Dubin referred to Aaron Lieberman as “the little giant-slayer” because he beat a few of the coaches in Beat the Pro.

While some of the best up-andcoming tennis players from around the world battled on the courts for the USTA Pro Circuit Men’s Future Tennis Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 28, at the Palm Coast Tennis Center, the tennis kids played against coaches and the head pro. “It’s great for the pros to take time to give back something to the next generation of players,” said Eric Dubin, the PCTC head pro. “The kids love the chance to get up close.” Some of the little ones were able to win a couple of rounds against some of the coaches, but none could beat Dubin in “Beat the Pro.” But, he said, it won’t be long before they will be able to get a few wins.

Dust off your tutus and bow ties for the Bobcat 5K and Health fair JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

The finishing touches were being done on this $4 million boat at Sea Ray.

Classroom to Careers tours Sea Ray plant The Classroom to Careers program gives students ideas on possible careers. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

After stretching blue protective slippers over their shoes, students walked down the ramp and onto a $4 million boat, wide-eyed and in disbelief. The 40 students from Flagler Palm Coast and Matanzas high schools weren’t shopping for luxury boats, they were shopping for careers. Sea Ray Boats invited the students on an extensive tour of the facility on Roberts Road so they could show them the vast career opportunities at the plant. Most of the Sea Ray tour guides had graduated from high schools in Flagler and Putnam counties. Luke Robbins and Keith Santana took one group, which included director of student services Lynette Shott, through the plant, up and down metal stairs, and past dozens of luxury boats, to show them how they were assembled from the hull up. Santana pointed to two diesel tanks on one boat and asked how many gallons the students thought they held. No one guessed 250 gallons each. (The $4 million boat had tanks that held nearly 500 gallons each.) Robbins, a life-long Flagler School district student, graduated from FPC in 2002. He spoke about going into construction after high school, a good job until 2008 when the housing industry came to a standstill. His employment at Sea Ray started out uncertain, but his path was another bit of knowledge for

students in any career. “I worked as a lamination technician at Sea Ray for a couple of months in 2008 and got laid off, and hired back the next Monday. Then I got laid off again,” Robbins said. After a year-long stint at the Daytona International Speedway Robbins got a call from Sea Ray asking if he would like to come back. In January 2010 he did, and he’s been there ever since, and loving it. Robbins did say he wished he had done more goal setting and focused on career paths when he was in high school. “It’s important to work hard and don’t burn your bridges,” Robbins said. “This is a good job with a local employer, building other people’s dreams. It’s a new challenge every day.” This was the second of three career tours for the Classroom to Careers Initiative. The first was at Florida Hospital Flagler, and plans are being made with the hospital-

GRANT RECEIVED FOR CLASSROOMS TO CAREERS INITIATIVE

The Flagler County Education Foundation was one of 41 North Florida organizations awarded a grant by Weyerhaeuser Foundation’s Giving Fund. The $2,000 grant will support Buddy Taylor Middle School’s year-long program to help students better understand the importance of protecting natural resources by developing alternative fuels and bioenergy products.

ity industry in The Hammock for the third tour. Students don’t go on every tour; they decide which career field would most interest them with their counselors’ input. Eight smaller groups will participate in the Intern of the Day program, which launched last year with the Chamber of Com-

merce and the Young Professionals Group. The programs are intended to build awareness about the wide assortment of careers that include not only the construction of the boats, but also finance, human resources and even captaining a boat. Robbins and Santana agreed that being a captain of a boat was a great way to see the world in style and get paid to do it, but said it also came with responsibility, not only for the boat, but also for things like the boat’s wake and not damaging property. “I like to put people where they belong,” Santana said. “I find out what talents they have and I put them there, and they’re successful.” Shott followed up the statement by telling the students to look for that attitude in any employer. “Whatever career you get, look for an employer that is interested in investing themselves in you,” she said.

“We love to run tu, tu much,” Belle Terre Elementary Assistant Principal Katrina Townsend said, laughing. Townsend was referring to the upcoming Belle Terre Elementary Bobcat 5K and Health Fair on Saturday, Feb. 11. It’s a tradition for participants to don frilly tutus — men, women and children — or bow ties for the run. “Our goal as a school is to involve our community with information about healthy living and a healthy lifestyle,” Townsend said. “Groups are encouraged to participate. Last year PAL had a team, and Bearcat fitness has told us they are sending a team of 15-20 this year.” Those who move at a slower pace can walk the course, which starts behind BTES, winds down the trail by Indian Trails Middle and returns to the BTES courtyard. There are even virtual walkers who register online and support the teams in spirit. The event includes a health fair in the BTES multi-purpose room, featuring nearly 60 vendors from dental offices, health food stores and other local businesses. Outside, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office will present canine demonstrations. For serious runners, the course has been certified by Daytona Runners and will be chip-timed by Red Pointer Running. All participants will receive a T-shirt and a medallion. An additional 90 awards will be presented in various categories. And, of course, there will be an award for the best tutu.

Abby was near death when found by Animal Control.

your dog expensive dog food, but it should be dog food,” Carotenuto said. Abby is being pampered by the shelter staff, and it is not unusual to find her in Carotenuto’s office at the shelter. Carotenuto describes her as a sweet and personable, but did

express concern that the dog, understandably, may have food aggression. “I put my hand in the bowl when I am feeding her to get her used to people touching her food, but I am not sure how she will react with other dogs,” Carotenuto said. Abby is ready to be adopted. Her only outstanding medical issue is an ulcer on one of her eyes, which is being treated with medication. The before and after pictures, taken in a span of just over a week, show what proper diet, good medical care and lots of love really can accomplish.

Beach to be X-rayed. The images revealed a variety of foreign objects in Abby’s stomach and intestines, including chicken bones. A corn cob was lodged in her intestines like a cork. If her life was to be saved, surgery needed to be done immediately. Dr. Kelly Long and his staff at Tomoka Pines Veterinary Hospital, worked on the dog’s intestines, and even spayed her. The shelter began a fundraising on Facebook and received $750 in donations to help pay for the surgery for the dog no one knew. The animal hospital discounted Abby’s surgery to the same amount. “We do want to educate people. You don’t have to feed

ince Abby was brought into the Flagler Humane Society on Jan. 19, she has become something of a Facebook celebrity. Her story on the social media site resulted in donations that saved her life. Flagler Animal Control Officer Keith Neal was responding to a call about a stray dog in Bunnell when he found Abby. She was skin and bones, with her ribs prominently protruding beneath her white coat. The 6-month-old terrier mix was anemic, flea infested, and had intestinal parasites. “It didn’t look like she had a whole lot of time left,” FHS Director Amy Carotenuto said. Shelter veterinarian Dr. Andrea James did the initial triage on the dog, but it was obvious Abby needed more in-depth medical care than the shelter could offer. The staff took her to Tomoka Pines Veterinary Hospital in Ormond

Flagler Beach brings out the authors The library was closed on Saturday, but there were still a lot of great reading materials on the front lawn. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

THE AUTHORS

Tim Baker, Tom Beck, Diane Bixler, Laura Federmeyer, Bill Ryan, Steven Boone, Barbara Camercon, Connie Hussey, Jorga Dupont Oliva, Becky Pourchot, Melvina Ruchnock, Tom O’Grady, Marybeth Jeitner, Terri Klaes Harper, Tony Marlow, and Jodi Hockinson.

Tim Baker and Becky Pourchot are both Flagler Beach residents and authors.

The very personal story is about Treworgy and her brother, left to care for their dying mother and themselves, after their father left them, and how she found strength through the challenge. Most of the authors started writing in earnest after they moved to Flagler County. They wrote historical fiction, science fiction, inspirational stories, young adult fiction, crime fiction and mysteries. They came from all walks of life, balancing their need to write with their day jobs. “When I moved here, I had no job, no friends, and lots of time,” Tim Baker said. Baker moved to Florida in 2006 and has written 11 books in that time, and Marlowe credited him for helping him get his book published. Next to Baker, author and friend, Becky Pourchot’s soft cover book featured the ruby slip-

pers (open-toed) and an Oz that Dorothy would never have imagined. Two friends, both educators, shared a table under the white tent on the library front lawn. Terri Klaes Harper intended the first of her series, “Memoirs of an Ordinary Girl,” to be for young adults, but the former English teacher at FPC discovered that women also enjoyed and identified with the pangs of the high school years. Next to her, Diane Bixler had “Murder in D Minor,” a book she initially wrote for her grandmother and then forgot about for years. After rereading it, she made a few changes, published it, and started on her next book.

Ruth Young, the Flagler Beach librarian, was beaming as she visited with each author and those who came to see them. She said she has already read some of the books that were featured, and that many can also be found on the shelves in the library. “I feel it’s important to support our local authors,” Young said. “That’s why we’re here right? This is, after all, a library.”

Tony Marlow, who has owned the Golden Lion restaurant in Flagler Beach with his wife, Carolyn, since 1992, seemed to be surprised to be one of the 17 authors invited for the second Author’s Book Signing Event at the Flagler Beach Library. The statement, “I didn’t know you wrote,” received the quip, “Nor did I,” from Marlow. “I wrote a postcard once,” he added. Yet on the table in front of him were stacks of his finished book. The book signing was full-circle for Marlow. who wrote much of his novel, “A First Class Fool,” long-hand in the Flagler Beach Library reading room. He took the title from a song he wrote, by the same name, blaming Jimmy Buffet for luring him to the Caribbean and his adventures. Another long-time resident and business owner, Toni Treworgy, who owns Island Cottages with her husband, Mark, has written more than her memoir, “Writings in the Sand.”

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2017

Retired Col. Ann McCulliss Johnson, clinical director, GratitudeAmerica; John Falter, Flagler Sportfishing Club chairman of the annual Fall Classic Invitational Tournament; Michael A. Anthony, executive director

Cameron Fulling is a Bunnell Elementary School student who has been fighting a brain tumor. The staff at Bunnell wanted to help the family because the doctors are now going to try an alternative method to treat Cameron — after everything else has been tried. Special “Team Cameron”

T-shirts were made to show Cameron and his family how much his school supports them. The staff and teachers purchased the shirts and the students could donate through a program called “No collar for a dollar”: By donating a dollar, the students could wear a regular shirt instead of their school dress-

code polo shirts. The school has raised $1,750 with T-shirts and donations from staff and bus drivers. Melanie Hayes and the staff at FTI donated enough money to cover the cost of the first order of Tshirts, and U Name It Apparel and Graphics gave the school a discount.

SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE

The Flagler Sportfishing Club presented $4,500 each to GratutideAmerica and Family Life Center at the Jan. 3 meeting. Each year, Flagler Sportfishing Club hosts the Spring Classic Invitational Tournament and the Fall Classic Invitational Tournament. Proceeds are awarded to local organizations that support

the needs of their communities. — Do you have a great story to tell about your organization or church? Email photos and stories to editor@palmcoastobserver.com. Also, submit your nonprofit events online at palmcoastobserver.com. Click on “calendar” and then “submit an event.”

MAN UP: 30 churches gather to hear from former NBA player The Man Up Conference has grown annually. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

Thirty churches from Flagler County and the surrounding areas assembled for the annual Man Up Conference on Friday, Jan. 27, at Palm Coast Community Church. Over 300 men enjoyed barbecue, throwing the football, shooting hoops and playing games of corn hole. But, the gathering was centered on the last few hours of the evening, listening to former NBA Orlando Magic player Keith Tower, now lead pastor of High Point Church in Orlando. “He really connected with the

men,” said John Williams, the area director for Man in the Mirror. “He applied both humorous stories and real-life challenges from his basketball career to Biblical principles.” The event was held after a team effort from the Man in the Mirror, Palm Coast Community Church, Epic Church, Lifecoast Church, Parkview Baptist Church and First Baptist Church of Palm Coast. “It was a real bonding time of building relationships in community with other men,” Williams added. For more information, call John Williams at 237-4229 or email him at johnwilliams@maninthemirror.org.

New chamber chairman: Jimmy Millhollin Millhollin is a Navy veteran and owner of RE/MAX Flagstaff. BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The theme of red, white and blue was an easy choice for the theme to the 2017 Flagler County Chamber of Commerce Installation Banquet: Jimmy Millhollin, who was installed as the new chairman, is a Navy veteran who has always had a great love for his country. He has seen the war-torn countries of the world, he said, but “whenever I saw the American flag, I felt safe and secure.” As owner of the RE/MAX Flagstaff office in Palm Coast, he and his wife of more than 25 years, fellow Navy veteran Annette Gardinal, also use the flag in their business: Their slogan is, “Proud to have served our country, proud to serve you.” Millhollin was sworn in for a one-year term to lead the volunteer board, at the Jan. 27 event at Hammock Beach Resort. In the same meeting, Rebecca DeLorenzo, who was hired in 2007 and became president of the organization in 2013, was emotional as she said goodbye: She will leave the chamber and join the Red Cross next month. Past chairman Donald O’Brien, who is now a county commissioner, introduced Millhollin. “In my world,” O’Brien said, “there is no Jimmy Millhollin, there’s Jimmy and Annette. So we’re lucky: We get the team.” He called Mill-

The 2017 Chamber of Commerce Board

AWARD WINNERS The following awards were announced at the Flagler County Chamber of Commerce’s 2017 Installation Banquet: n Diplomat of the Year: Mike Richards with Vector Security n Most Innovative Product/Service: Flagler Humane Society. Our most innovative service/product award winner was inspired by a 7-year-old obese Australian Shepard mix named Zeus, whose parents could no longer afford his treatments. And, so the Flagler Humane Society’s Wellness Clinic, where pet parents can bring their family members for low-cost vet exams and treatments, was created. n Excellence in Customer Service: Vystar Credit Union. This business created a six-step process to incorporate customer service into their corporate culture. n Most innovative Marketing Campaign: Intracoastal Bank, for the campaign, “Invested, Innovative, Inspired.” n 2016 Emerging Business of the Year: Channel Side. Seeing a gap in “luxury event space,” two Palm Coast residents purchased the landmark Palm Coast Yacht Club and then proceeded to completely makeover the event space. n Small Business of the Year: Palm Coast and the Beaches Real Estate. The judges said, “This applicant not only shows successful business growth year over year, but the attention to community service stands out and kicks them up a notch.” Their mark on the community is evident from their “real life” visiting rooms at the Flagler Humane Society to a butterfly garden at the Family Life Center. n 2016 Large Business of the Year: S.E. Cline Construction. This winner just celebrated its 20-year anniversary and currently has 60 employees. It has weathered the storm and shown substantial healthy gains over the last two years.

Halfway through his speech, Jimmy Millhollin read this line from his notes: “Insert joke here.”

hollin a “first-class gentleman.” In his speech, Millhollin praised the chamber’s successful traditions and said he would also look for new opportunities, including a military appreciation breakfast. He said it would be appropriate, considering there are about 12,000 veterans among Flagler County’s 100,000 residents. Millhollin’s priorities for the next year will be community, communication and collaboration. “There’s no looking back,” he said. “I hope you will all join me in embracing the change before us and working side by side to create opportunity to drive our success.”
