ppearances in court are often not happy occasions. But a court event on Sept. 30 was joyful, as family, friends and community members convened at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center to celebrate Alyson Martin, Hunter Watson, Bryan Plummer and Yevgeniy Berkovich —graduates of the Flagler County Drug Graduation Program. All four took the opportunity to stand before the Flagler Adult Drug Court Operation Team and thank each member for the time they spent helping turn the graduates around. “Hunter may not be alive if it weren’t for you guys,” Hunter Watson’s sister, Haley Watson, told the operation team. Haley Watson, along with the other graduates’ family members, spoke of their previous concerns about the graduates, and thanked the drug court for the determination staff showed to help the graduates. Circuit Judge Matthew Foxman expressed his admiration for the four graduates’ ability to complete the program, especially when he gave the total combined number of days they had all been clean: 6,572. “Before I came to drug court, my life was in total chaos,” Berkovich said. “My priority was to get drunk every day. I wanted to get help and recover, but I didn’t know what to do. When I got into the program, I learned about my disease, and I learned how to recover. I’m grateful that Flagler
After graduates leave the program, 75% of them will remain arrest-free for at least two years. In Flagler County, 87% will receive no new drug-related charges within three years of graduating.
Hunter Watson received many heartfelt hugs, including this one from Detective Liz Williams, of the Flagler Beach Police Department, who is a member of the Drug Court Operation Team.
County has this program.” For Plummer — whose brother died just last year after similar struggles — it took Christianity to change his life and get him off drugs. “I had everything I could ask for, but drugs took it all away from me,” he said. “But I accepted Jesus after being an atheist, and he saved me when I couldn’t save myself.” All of the graduates began using drugs in different times and in different manners. But they were happy to be united in their efforts to forever leave those lives behind, and move forward.

Flagler students are winning national recognition even as the district ranks 64th out of 67th in money provided per student from the state. “That’s something that is a grave concern of ours, and we want to make sure that folks are aware of that: that we are doing an amazing job, even though we feel like sometimes we might be getting a little bit shortchanged,” Flagler Schools Superintendent

Jacob Oliva said during his annual State of Education address Oct. 4. The district also has the sixthhighest RLE — Required Local Effort, the taxes used to fund education — of the state’s 67 school districts, Oliva said. The funding is set through the Florida Educational Finance Program, he said, which collects money raised by local school taxes and then reallocates it to districts throughout the state based on a formula. The RLE rate is set by the Florida Legislature. “In Flagler County, we have the sixth-highest millage rate for property taxes, yet we are the 64th lowest-funded school district in the state,” Oliva said. “Other districts, like Putnam, are higher funded per student even though they pay less taxes. … There’s something that is happening within the way these funding formulas are calculated, and it’s something that has been on our School Board’s radar, administration’s radar; we’re working with our legislators to make sure sure they’re aware of it. We want to make sure that the dollars here locally stay local.” About 90% of the district’s budget comes from local sales tax and property taxes.
The district has shifted away from an educational model that focuses on having students learn

particular sets of content to one that emphasizes practical skill building, Oliva said, such as programs that let students learn construction techniques or work on their private pilots’ license while enrolled. “A lot of it comes down to problem solving, critical thinking, creation,” he said. “We don’t want our students to be just consumers of content, we want them to be producers of content.” The district’s flagship programs, started about four years ago as part of the district’s classroom-to-careers initiative, “is something that we continue to see expand and grow,” Oliva said. Most of the flagship programs are STEM-based — focusing on science, technology engineering and math — because research shows that’s where the jobs are, with 26 million STEM-related jobs in the U.S. currenlty, Oliva said. Vacancies in STEM fields, he said, average two positions per applicant. This year, Oliva said, Old Kings Elementary School developed a marine science focus, and Bunnell Elementary School is focusing on robotics and agriscience. Wadsworth Elementary has an engineering program. A partnership with EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University also helped the district create an unmanned flight program, and the district has created its first “drone zone,” where students and

The district’s school grades have dropped as the district shifted from the Sunshine Standards assessments to the Florida Standards assessments, Oliva said, but that drop was mirrored across the state. The way learning gains are calculated also changed. “It’s just a very significant change, and it’s impacted the way schools are graded across the state of Florida,” Oliva said. FOUR GOALS
The district has set four broad goals, Oliva said: 1) Create strength in partnerships that allow all students to build positive relationships with peers, staff and community members; 2) Create a motivating, personalized educational experience that supports a safe, 21st century learning- and working- environment, in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible; 3) Provide staff with job-related training and mentoring to support social, emotional and academic needs of all students, and 4) To recruit, motivate, compensate and retain top-quality employees that reflect the diversity and values of the community.
Local students’ SAT scores drop as more take test Flagler Schools’ SAT scores dropped this past year as the district opened up the test to all 11th graders for the third year. The district’s combined reading and math score in the 2015-2016 school year was 869, with reading scores at 440 and math scores at 429. The combined score had been 894 in 2014-2015, 960 in 2013-2014, and 976 in 20122013. The number of students taking the test in Flagler County rose dramatically in that time period. Just 505 students were tested in 2012-2013, and 501 in 2013-2014, but 912 students were tested in 2014-2015, and 856 were tested in 2015-2016. “Although our numbers declined, we did anticipate this drop since we are now providing the ‘SAT School Day to all 11th grade students’ for the 3rd year in a row,” Flagler Schools Director of Research and Growth Shawn Schmidli said. SAT score have dropped statewide over the same timeframe. The 2014-2015 statewide average was 956. It was 966 in 2013-2014, 976 in 2012-2013, and 982 in 20122013. The combined 2015-2016 score at Flagler Palm Coast High School was 863; at Matanzas High School, it was 879. Scores at both high schools have dropped steadily since the 2012-2013 school year.

What’s said and unsaid in Black Lives Matter
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.” FRIEDRICH HAYEK “Road to Serfdom,” 1944
Was a protest on school grounds a proper way for the girls to express their beliefs?
BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR
O
ne girl is raising both fists and chanting, “Black lives matter! Black lives matter!” Behind her, two other teen girls are dressed in black and wearing backpacks, holding poster-board signs high in the air. Other kids join in the chant behind them, raising the volume, and we can see that this is happening not in some far away city but in the greenlocker hallways of our very own Flagler Palm Coast High School. I learned about the protest when someone emailed the Observer and said some students were being threatened with suspension or possible expulsion. I thought, Oh, no. Expulsion? Did something happen at the protest? HOW DID THE SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPOND?
I soon discovered there was no reason to be alarmed. The school district said that, yes, there had been a protest, but no one had been disciplined. On the contrary, “We understand there are social undertones around this country, and we haven’t put a damper on their thoughts or their beliefs,” said Jason Wheeler, Flagler Schools spokesman. “It’s just that there’s a proper way to express their beliefs.” I asked Lynette Shott, a former FPC principal who is now in the administration at the district level, if she thought the protest was, in fact, a proper way for the students to express their beliefs. Shott was noncommittal. “They expressed their opinion, and they went to class when they were asked,” she said. “They learned from there where to continue to have an impact in their society.” I’m not criticizing Wheeler or Shott. I like and respect both of them quite a bit. I’m sure the school district is reluctant to encourage protests, and, as a parent, I’m glad that they are committed to promoting a distraction-free environment for my own children. But it leaves the question unanswered: Was this a proper way for the girls to express their beliefs? CRITICS OF THE SCHOOL RESPONSE
Among the Facebook users who were critical of the school

district was Anthony Tabbitas, who wrote, “This is not acceptable to be happening in our schools. I’m sure there was plenty of students that felt threatened as this protest was happening because of what they have seen on TV, how the people of Black Lives Matter protests end up with shootings, looting, robbing, beating of innocent white people, burning of buildings, cars, etc.” Based on the video I saw, and considering that this protest occurred before school started, the students didn’t disrupt much of anything (in the video, you can see students walking the opposite way down the hallway, unimpeded by the marchers). In fact, I think these girls were brave by organizing this protest, and it showed that they are being educated to think for themselves. They were successful in raising awareness about an issue that all too often is perceived as some other city’s problem. WHO STARTED THE PROTEST?
Kanisha Lee, a junior at FPC, is one of the girls who organized the protest. Like-minded students gathered at school on the morning of Sept. 30 and began with a moment of silence. Eventually, officials took away their poster-board signs, she said, but even then “we still looked at it as something positive that we did. We didn’t start saying anything negative.” She continued: “I don’t think about violence when I’m doing this. I want to make peace, to turn all this negative energy into positive energy. Me and my group of friends didn’t do it put down others.” Some of her friends of different races also joined in the protest, she said. “A couple of them surprised me,” she said. “It made me feel like, ‘This is actually something good that we’re doing, that a different race is joining in and supporting us.’ It made me feel good.” BLACK LIVES MATTER VS. ALL LIVES MATTER
It’s inevitable that as soon as someone posts “Black lives matter” on Facebook, some-
one will follow with “All lives matter.” Tony Keen wrote this on our Facebook page: “All lives matter, and all this does is to allow these privileged brats to continue to voice a divide in this country instead of coming together.” Another reader, Patrice Paterno-Lewis, called me out in particular, saying, “Brian, take your notebook and pencil and rewrite your resume and go find a real career. The media causes this growing racism.” Yes, the media has a role in this. But would people prefer not to know that unarmed blacks are being shot? Should those stories be ignored in an effort to make it seem like race relations are great in America? A senior at FPC, J’vaughnna Neesmith, said she wanted to participate in the protest because she feels some people don’t see the dangers that her race faces. “They’re oblivious to what’s going on,” she said. “They don’t see that we’re being targeted. It’s not that all lives don’t matter — it’s not that our lives matter more — but as of right now, no other race has to deal with what we have to deal with right now.” VICTIMS OF RACISM?
Every one of the protesters I spoke with had one thing in common: They did not feel they personally had been the victims of racism. To me, that’s what made this protest even more remarkable. They marched because they care about not only their siblings and friends’ futures, but also about the victims that they don’t even know around the country. That is a noble motivation. J’vaughnna’s mother, Monika Middleton, tried to explain how the girls are feeling: “If it happens to one, it happens to all,” Middleton said. “We are our brother’s keeper.” Anthony Tabbitas is right: Some Black Lives Matter protests have descended into chaos. But this one didn’t. These girls got it right, and hopefully as a result we are all a little bit more sensitive to what our brothers and sisters are going through.
WHAT SHE SAID “Yes, all lives matter, but all lives aren’t going through what the black community is going through right now.” KANISHA LEE, FPC student
“I thought it was fantastic that she’s trying to be involved in something like that and wants to speak her mind on it. I applaud her for doing it.” HARVEY LEE, Kanisha’s father
“I did it to respect the black lives that were lost. … They’re my people.” BREAZA ROBINSON, a 10th-grader at FPC
“I’m standing up for my race.” REANA ALEXANDER, 10th-grader
“It was a positive action. We were standing up for what we know was right.” ALECHIA BISHOP, 11th-grader

Deputies got verifiable reports of a suspicious clown sighting in Palm Coast just a few hours after the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office sent out a news release calling the clown threats that had been circulatingon social media a “hoax.” “At approximately 2:42 p.m. today, a citizen who resides at 20 Woodlyn Lane in Palm Coast called the FCSO to let us know that she had seen a clown in her backyard,” the news release stated. “According to the caller, the clown was holding two pink balloons and as a picture was taken of the clown, the clown ran into the woods. A search of the area was completed and the clown was not located. The clown is described as wearing all pink clothing, red wig, red nose and red, white and blue shoes.” Another local resident told deputies that the resident had heard on social media that a clown might have been trying to scare kids as they got off a school bus. Deputies escorted two buses through the neighborhood to make sure the kids got home safe. The news release the Sheriff’s Office had sent earlier in the afternoon, at about 12:11 p.m., said that threats circulating on social media about people dressed as clowns hurting or scaring people are not true, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
“Many of the threats involve clowns going to school campuses to either kidnap students or kill teachers going to their cars. THIS IS NOT TRUE!” a Sheriff’s Office news release posted to the official Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page stated. Local law enforcement officials and school district officials had reviewed the messages, and the Sheriff’s Office news release described them as “hoaxes.” Multiple school districts and law enforcement agencies across the country have been contending with their local residents’ reactions to threatening messages, which were posted on social media and went viral, about people dressed as clowns planning to hurt children or teachers. Nationally, there have been multiple reports to law enforcement of suspicious or threatening behavior on the part of people dressed as clowns. Some arrests have been made, and some schools in Ohio closed Sept. 30 as a result of the threats, according to multiple news reports. “Please do not use this phenomenon of false hype to dress like a clown and play jokes on others,” the Sheriff’s Office news release stated. “Any attempts to do so will be treated like a real threat.” The Sheriff’s Office has urged anyone who sees something suspicious to call 911 immediately.

Everything you need to know about Hurricane Matthew State, county and other agencies have issued warnings and updates. COMPILED BY STAFF
A state of emergency has been declared by Gov. Rick Scott for the state of Florida. The National Hurricane Center predicts that Hurricane Matthew will travel in a path along Florida’s eastern coastline between now and Friday as a major hurricane. “Destructive, even deadly, coastal storm tide inundation in concert with extremely high, destructive surf is likely to probable with Major Hurricane Matthew,” states a report from weather.gov. The National Hurricane Center has issued a hurricane watch for Flagler County, meaning that hurricane conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. A storm-surge watch is now in effect for coastal locations specially along the coast and inland salt water canals. Storm surge tides of 3-5 feet are likely with 5-8 feet possible. This does not include tides and waves. “We have to plan for the worst and hope for the best,” Flagler County Administrator Craig Coffey said. “The track continues to fluctuate and we have to be ready to assist our residents in any way we can. A small deviation of the track could make the determination whether we have hurricaneforce winds or not.” Flagler County has activated its
SCHOOLS CLOSED After consulting with the National Weather Service, and Flagler County emergency managers, Superintendent Jacob Oliva has canceled school Thursday, Oct. 6, and Friday, Oct. 7. All school activities have also been canceled. Flagler Schools is preparing to have a number of schools activated as emergency shelters.
Emergency Operations Center at level 2 for command and general staff. “Emergency management across the state is monitoring the situation very closely and making preparations,” Public Safety Emergency Manager Steve Garten said. “As the storm approaches, please make sure you have a plan in place for you and your family, including your pets, that includes providing for food, water and medications for several days.” SIGN UP FOR CODERED AND SPECIAL NEEDS SHELTER
Flagler County officials are encouraging residents to sign up for the CodeRED weather warning notifications and for those requiring additional assistance to apply for the special needs evacuation shelter registry. “Weather conditions can change rapidly,” Garten said in a

press release. “We especially want to make sure we have everyone with special needs registered as Hurricane Matthew approaches.” More specifically, individuals who should register for special needs evacuation sheltering are people who require assistance with daily living or who have medical conditions that prevent or hinder their ability to care for themselves. Find instructions on www.flagleremergency.com. EMERGENCY CALL-IN CENTER
The Flagler County Emergency Operations Center is operating at a heightened status, and has set up a call-in center for residents with questions. “Our team of volunteers have been activated to man the phones, and the call line number is up and working,” Garten said. That call in number will be 5865111. “We are doing our best to make sure everyone gets their questions answered,” Garten said. “Fill your car up with gasoline, make sure
your important documents are in a water-tight container, and, of course, make sure you have water and nonperishable food.” Volunteers are currently scheduled to answer the phones between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday. STATE RESPONSE
The state is working with the American Red Cross to identify shelter-staffing capacity in potential impact areas. Approximately 200 members of the Florida National Guard will be activated to support hurricane preparedness and response. There are also more than 6,000 guardsmen ready to be deployed if needed. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is inventorying school food supplies in schools and state warehouses. Utilities have been put on notice to start reporting outage and restoral information when notified to begin. Utilities are contacting their mutual aid partners. Army Corps of Engineers and Water Management Districts are monitoring waterways and are prepared to adjust flows as necessary. Florida Department of Transportation is preparing evacuation routes. FDOT will continue to reach out to county emergency operations centers directly to coordinate any necessary response.

Reggie Went empties a picker’s berries into a bin.
ries worth about $5,000 — from a couple days’ work. They can’t hold the berries longer than that before selling them, or they’ll go bad. But it’s rough work. “They’re working hard to try to put food on their tables,” Reggie Went said. He knows. He used to pick. The berries come from saw palmettos, a shrub that forms dense thickets about as high as a person, where its toothed fronds slice through bare skin. Pickers often wear heavy pants and, sometimes, long-sleeve shirts. “If you see a bunch of scratches on their arms, you know they’re pickers,” Laurie Went said. The berries draw bees and wasps and are often crawling with ants, and pickers wear gloves for protection. Diamondback and pygmy rattlesnakes are known to coil at the bases of the palmetto trunks. Pickers wear boots and hope a snake doesn’t strike too high. Then there’s the heat: The sparse pinelands and sandy scrublands
JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
As she weighed their bags of palmetto berries, Laurie Reggie Went, 36, asked them where their Mercedes was. Sometimes the men — both berry pickers — drive one. “That’s $379, boys,” she said, reading the numbers on the scale and plugging them into a calculator. “Not bad for a rainy day.” Picking palmetto berries can bring in good money. Went’s father, 61-year-old Reggie Went, emptied the olivesize, lime-colored berries into one of four square, waist-high 1,100-pound bins. The Wents, buying the berries from local pickers and reselling them to distributors for use in herbal remedies for prostate health, often fill five or six such bins in a day. Once berries’ price passes $2 per pound, all kinds of people start picking, scouring the local woodlands after their day jobs. Pickers were getting $2.40 when the tan truck arrived. Sometimes, families bring in two bins — filled with ber-

“If you see a bunch of scratches on their arms, you know they’re pickers,” LAURIE WENT
BERRIES FROM PAGE 11
where the palmettos grow provide only narrow, trunk-width patches of relief from the Florida sun. The season starts in mid-August and runs through October. As the hours drag on and the Florida sun slow-burns through pickers’ energy, the cuts made with their machetes can become less precise. Fatigue can cause pickers to miss the early signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The hornets’ nest tucked between the palm fronds, or the cottonmouth sunning itself in an open patch of ground, might go unnoticed. In the big palmetto fruit boom of 1995, news reports showed that four pickers died after being bitten by snakes, and another drowned crossing a canal. ‘ROTTEN CHEESE STEEPED IN TOBACCO JUICE’ Laurie Reggie Went writes down the total poundage of a picker’s haul.
Saw palmettos and their berries have long been used by people.
Various Native American civilizations — the Calusa and Tequesta, and later the Seminole — ate the berries and used them in medicines and as an antiseptic. Mayans crushed the berries and used them in a tonic. Florida’s Spanish settlers ate the berries in the 1500s, and began exporting them to Europe in 1602, according to “Botanical Medicines: The Desk Reference for Major Herbal Supplements,” by Dennis J. Mckenna and Kenneth Jones. Settlers, forced to eat the berries when they couldn’t find anything else, called the taste foul. Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker merchant who shipwrecked with his family on the southeast Florida coast in the late 1690s on a trip from Jamaica to Philadelphia, wrote in an account of his trials that the local Native American people kept large stores of the berries in their homes.

But, starving though they were, Dickinson and his shipmates could hardly bear to eat them. “We tasted them, but not one amongst us could suffer them to stay in our mouths; for we could compare them to nothing else, but rotten cheese steeped in tobacco juice,” Dickinson wrote. Dickinson and the other survivors adjusted. By the time he and the remaining members of his party — five died — reached safety in St. Augustine, Dickinson wrote, “We found our palates so changed by eating of berries that we could not relish the taste of salt any more than if it had no saltness in it.” Eaten raw, the berries can make a taster’s mouth tingle. According to “Botanical Medicines” : “Seminole Indians warned against eating a serving of more than five berries at once, claim-

ing that too many would cause the mouth to burn. Today, the Seminoles make a drink from the juice to which sugar is added.” The berries were used as an aromatic ingredient in Cognac, and, in the early 1800s, were mixed into a carbonated drink called Metto, sold in Miami. Women took them in the belief that they increased breast size; men took them in the hope of curing impotence, according to “Botanical Medicines.” By the 1800s, the berries were used for a range of medical complaints, and were used as a sexual stimulant. “Botanical Medicines” lists some of the conditions they were said to treat, among them: rheumatism, anemia, asthma, the common cold, alcoholism, breast atrophy and ovarian atrophy, dysentery, gonorrhea, diarrhea, urinary tract infections and incontinence, prostate gland enlargement and male impotence.

The 1926 United States Dispensary listed them as a treatment for enlarged prostate, and the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and National Formulary listed them as an official drug at various times from 1906 to 1950, according to “Botanical Medicines.” Use of the berries for prostate health flagged in the United States after World War II but remained strong in Europe, especially in Germany and France. In the U.S. today, the berries are used in various herbal supplements that don’t have to undergo the strict testing required of products that are labeled as regular medicine. In European countries such as Germany where they’ve received government approval for medicinal use, the berries are used in conventional medicine and regularly prescribed by doctors. MEN WITH MACHETES
But long before the berries, distilled into pill form, land in the hands of a patient, they’re taken raw into the hands of a picker like the ones in Flagler County. And too often, law enforcement officials say, picking causes problems. Flagler County Agricultural and Ranch Deputy Steve Williams laid out a not-uncommon scenario: A homeowner looks out their window and sees a group of machete wielding men step out of a nearby woodline. The homeowner, fearing a potential burglary, or worse, calls the police. It can scare hikers, too. “You got a guy jumping out of the woods with a machete in his hand, it’ll scare them half to death,” Williams said. “And they’re just picking berries, but they don’t know that.”
Palmetto berry picking season has long been a bane of local law enforcement agencies in areas that produce large amounts of berries, especially when those berries are overwhelmingly located on lands where people aren’t supposed to pick them — on state or local park property, for instance, or on the private property of landowners who don’t want pickers to intrude. Flagler County has an ordinance banning the picking of berries on county-owned land. But that hasn’t stopped pickers from scouring those properties anyway. “We see them all over: Princess Place, River-to-Sea, Mala Compra, Varn Park, Jungle Hut,” Flagler County Land Management Coordinator Mike Lagasse said. “Beachside has been hit real hard,” Williams said. “It’s probably been two or three calls a day we’re going in there. When the berry prices get up close to $3 a pound … now you’ve got people that normally wouldn’t go out to do it, because hey — this is extra Christmas money.” Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies have tended to give berry pickers a warning, make them dump their loot, and send them on their way, sometimes with a trespass order that bars them from returning to the property where they were caught picking. The berry pickers Williams catches aren’t always aware that they’re breaking the law. Sometimes they begin their picking on land that they have permission to pick on, but then cross over an unmarked boundary into land where they’re not allowed. Or they think they have permission to pick at a location, but they got that permission from

someone who didn’t have authorization to grant it. And sometimes they do know picking on public land is illegal, but they’re desperate — in some cases because they have minor crimes in their background that make getting regular work difficult. “I feel bad for some of them,” Williams said. “I would rather see them getting berries than breaking into somebody’s house and trying to steal something. … Most private property owners just want to see them trespassed from the property.” But pickers caught with more
than $300 worth of berries face felony charges. Williams said he found a fatherand-daughter pair earlier this season picking berries near Ocean Vista. “They had a little white twogallon bucket; they said they had heard people were making money. … They had no idea that it was against the law on county land,” he said. Williams gave them a warning and sent them on their way. Although local law enforceSEE BERRIES PAGE 16

BERRIES FROM PAGE 15
ment hasn’t aggressively pursued the issue, county staff members, including Lagasse, are considering ways to make Flagler County’s public lands less attractive to pickers. As things stand, even if the county enforced the law, most pickers would get a $25 fine — not much of a deterrence when berry picking can bring in hundreds of dollars per day. Many other Florida counties set their fines higher, at $300 or more, and Flagler’s lower fine might be attracting people who know picking on public property is against the law, but plan to do it anyway, Lagasse said. Raising the fine into the hundreds of dollars might
deter those pickers, and county staff members are considering drafting an ordinance that would raise the fines. Reggie Went, the berry collector, doesn’t understand why the state and local governments are so eager to ban the pickers. “These people go out and pick, and they pay their rent,” he said. “I have probation officers come up to me and say, ‘How’d Johnny come up with all this money?’ I tell them, ‘He’s been out berry picking.’” “We know five people who have enough now to stay in a hotel room,” his daughter said. “All year. Not just for the season.” His pickers, Reggie Went said, know they’re not supposed to pick on public lands, or on private lands without permission. Most pick on the land of people they know, or they knock on someone’s door to ask, he said. But Went acknowledged there’s no way for collectors to know for sure where the berries pickers present at collection stands actually came from. Lagasse and Williams said there are reasons to protect the berries on public land. They’re food for various animals, such as black bears. “All the animals eat it; it’s a food source for them,” Williams said.
“You’re taking it away from them, so now they’re going to have to look elsewhere.” If private property owners want berry pickers to pick their land — and some do, because the berries attract bees and hornets — that’s fine, Williams and Lagasse said. But pickers shouldn’t be taking from land that’s a public resource. Lagasse compared pickers who pick on public lands to people who would try to cut down trees in a public forest for firewood or wood to build a fence. Governmental agencies don’t — and shouldn’t — allow that, he said. As the Wents prepared to shut down their stand in the evening, and a young woman dropped off a day’s haul of 14 pounds — “I went to some terrible places today,” she said, as Laurie Went handed her $32 cash — Reggie Went said the regulations just make life a little harder for poor people willing to work long hours. Some families he knows, Went said, pick as the school year starts so they can send their children to school in clothes that fit. “It’s a business for the poor people to get ahead,” he said. As for the berries, he said, “We call them pennies from heaven.”

W
e’re halfway done with this football season, and most of the analysis for these teams closely resemble their assessments from last year at this time. Visit last year’s posts to see the similarities. MAINLAND (6-0): A+. It’s scary to think Mainland may have gotten better since last season. Denzel Houston and the offense have been unstoppable, and the defense has become as stingy as it’s ever been. Special teams also lend a hand in putting points on the board. This team is on a war path to reach the Class 6A title game this year. MATANZAS (5-0): A+. Can I get an encore? Where did that losing-season Matanzas team go that all the other schools loved to play? The Pirates have only lost two games in their last 15 tries, and that number will stay low. With a balanced offense and maybe an even better defense than last season, Matanzas is thinking playoffs again. They’re playing lights-out football. FLAGLER PALM COAST (1-4): C-.

tion of what you are, right? Did you know that FPC’s four losses came by way of teams ranked 16th or better in the state in their respective classes? Those teams have a combined 20-2 record, giving the Bulldogs one of the toughest strength of schedules in the entire state. Yes, the Bulldogs have many shortcomings, but most teams would lose those same games. The rest of their schedule isn’t nearly as tough. FATHER LOPEZ CATHOLIC (1-3): D. The Green Wave has been
disappointing. Lopez can’t stop anyone this season. Opposing teams are averaging 41 points against the Green Wave, and what should be a pretty good offense has scored over 20 points in only one game thus far. This is quarterback Josh Spencer’s and wide receiver Ryan Atkins’ last year, so this may be the best opportunity to win anything for the Green Wave. They’re going to have to play a lot better, through, the next half-season. SEABREEZE (1-5): D. The Sandcrabs should be better than what they’re putting forth. This isn’t a knock on their defense or special teams, which have scored more points than the offense. Through six games, Seabreeze’s offense has scored two touchdowns. The wildcat formation seems to be the only lifeline on the offense, but it makes temporary appearances behind the Sandcrabs’ conventional offense. Until the offenses change places, I don’t expect anything more from this team.

Schalit commits to Notre Dame Matanzas Pirates’ Max Schalit has verbally committed to Notre Dame to play lacrosse, beginning in the 2019 season. He also received offers from University of Michigan, Syracuse, Loyola and Bryant University. Schalit also plays for the Sweetlax Florida National Team, which won a tournament in Lake Placid, New York, this past summer. He was chosen to play in the Under Armour games this summer in Maryland.
Mackenzy Wagner makes the AllAmerican team
Moultrie’s record night leads Pirates to 5-0 record In a previous interview, Philip Moultrie said he would run for 300 yards in a game this season. He’s done it. His 308 yards (according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal) helped Matanzas blowout the New Smyrna Barracudas 58-28 on Monday, Oct. 3, in New Smyrna. The Pirates scored eight touchdowns, and Moultrie accounted for six of them, ranging from three to 93 yards – a school record. He even had a 60-yard touchdown run called
back. Trent Steward scored the other two runs. Philip Moultrie has now accounted for over 900 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns through five games. “It makes me feel good, knowing I could’ve gotten close to 400 yards,” Moultrie said. “And I give my line a lot of credit, because that was the best they’ve blocked all year. They just didn’t give up last.” The Pirates will next put their undefeated season on the line against the area’s best – Mainland Bucs – in two weeks at Matanzas.

WHO WILL WIN ON FRIDAY? My overall season record: 20-3 These games are scheduled for Friday, but the hurricane could change that ...
Mainland (6-0) at Cocoa: Mainland wins 40-39. The Bucs have yet to play a team of this caliber this season. Mainland will visit the Tigers in their home stadium, where they have beaten their last 18 opponents. No one has been able to stop Denzel Houston and company this season, and the Bucs’ defense has only allowed teams to stay close for a short time. While this game will go down to the wire, Mainland will make the right moves and snap Cocoa’s
home winning streak while continuing its undefeated season.
Matanzas (5-0) Bye Seabreeze (1-5) at Atlantic: Atlantic wins 31-7. Can the Sandcrabs find more points? After being held to seven points or less in their first five contests, the Sandcrabs scored 20 against Pine Ridge – a bad team. Atlantic is a different story, and the Sharks will create havoc on offense and defense to thwart Seabreeze’s confidence.
tough but winnable foe in the Panthers. Stymied by its previous opponent Sandalwood 34-6, FPC should be able to perform a lot better than last Friday, but the Panthers’ dual quarterback will give them fits. Byrd will rebound from his 50 yards, but it won’t be enough to overcome the Panthers.
Father Lopez (2-3) at Interlachen: This game has been canceled, due to the incoming hurricane and will not be rescheduled.
Flagler Palm Coast (1-4) vs. Palatka: Palatka wins 24-16. The Bulldogs will now face another

Service dogs
are an important benefit in veterans’ lives
JACQUE ESTES STAFF WRITER
Two military veterans got life-changing gifts from Paws of War.
R
ob Ramos needed a hug, and Colby obliged by putting his front paws on Ramos’s shoulders. Colby was doing what he was trained to do: be a comfort to Ramos. “Colby knows Rob is nervous,” trainer and Paws of War Florida chapter program director Lauren Driscoll told those who’d gathered at the Beach Front Grille in Flagler Beach for the presentation of the dogs. Ramos kissed the top of Colby’s head as the dog nuzzled closer. “This dog, Colby, has turned my life around,” Ramos said. A second dog, Carly, sat straight and alert by her new owner Derek Logsdon’s side. It was clear that both dogs had already bonded with the two U.S. Army veterans. The service dogs, specifically trained for the needs of the two veterans, were provided by

Paws of War, a nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from humane societies and matches them with veterans with afterservice injuries. Ramos, who lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and was stationed in Panama in 19891990, has PTSD. Colby has been trained to turn on lights before Ramos enters a room, and to get his medication for him.
Logsdon lives in St. Louis, Missouri, and served in Afghanistan in 2012. Logsdon also has PTSD and has hearing loss, but now he has Carly to alert him to alarms in the night. “This will be a game-changer for me, for my daily routine, and at night because I can’t hear at night,” Logsdon said. The men and dogs spent time together before Thurs-
day’s ceremony, with the men making trips to Flagler County to get to know their dogs. Driscoll said she has trained 19 service dogs for veterans, to not only provide companionship, but also as a calming influence on the men should they become anxious. “I’m so excited to once again be a part of this important mission,” Driscoll said. “Our veterans have given so much

Too many of our veterans are struggling as civilians, so we are making it easier for them.” Both dogs were adopted from the Fort Pierce Humane Society in Fort Pierce, Florida in February. Since their adoptions, Driscoll has been putting them through extensive training.
The veterans received an escort to the ceremony by the Blue Knights Law Enforcement Motor Cycle Club XXII. The members stayed for the ceremony.

Raising the Pink Army flag October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR
County Commissioner Barbara Revels raises the Pink Army flag Oct. 3.
About 60 pink-clad local residents and officials gathered to raise the Pink Army flag for Florida Hospital Flagler’s breast cancer awareness campaign the morning of Oct. 3. Speaking to the assembled crowd, County Commission Chairwoman Barbara Revels said that one in eight U.S. women develops the disease over the course of her lifetime, and that there are about 2.8 million women living in the U.S. who have breast cancer or have a history of breast cancer. “Just look around this crowd and think of one in eight,” Revels said. “That’s pretty scary, if it hasn’t already affected you.” About 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. in 2016, she said, along with 61,000 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. “When I look around my family, my community, my friends, I can think of, just off the top of my head very quickly, four women that were close friends of mine that have all had breast cancer,” Revels said. “One died this past year after about a year’s battle where it went elsewhere. And the others are healthy right now, and they’re past the five-year survival

rate — lucky for early detection and the treatment that we have. So we ask that you all remain vigilant on this. And I know that through our hospital partners, as well as the team of members that we have here in government — all the great things that Suzanne Johnston has done, with her high teas and a variety of other resources that we tap — we hope we can put an end to breast cancer in both men and women.” Staff representing the Sheriff’s Office and Flagler County Fire Rescue attended the flag raising, sporting pink. The county had one fire truck wrapped in pink to support breast cancer awareness, and the Sheriff’s Office raised $1,605 by buying pink badges and
shirts. A total of 160 Sheriff’s Office employees participated in the fundraiser, and Sheriff’s Office Director Jim Troiano at the flag raising ceremony presented a $1,605 check to Florida Hospital Flagler CEO Ron Jimenez, who remarked that all those pink badges might just make him smile if he were pulled over. “I’ll probably have a smile on my face, which is not typically what you have when you get pulled over,” he said. He thanked attendees for their support. “Thank you all for coming out, for wearing the pink, for supporting this cause that is so vital and important to us with regards to the health of women, and men,” Jimenez said.

here was never any doubt that Aaron Carll wanted to do a Community Problem Solvers project on Zika and ways to prevent it. His first challenge was to convince the other five students in his group. “I wanted to do this from the start,” Aaron said. “If we could make a little impact on keeping people healthier and safe from something they might not know a lot about, I thought it was something I wanted to do.” Sarah Main admitted that at first she wasn’t keen on the topic. She didn’t even know what Zika was at the time. But then she and the others started hearing more about the disease caused by mosquitoes, and agreed it would be a good project to tackle. They named it the Pandemic Project and adopted a mission statement: “Since vector-borne diseases cause more than 1 million deaths annually, how might we implement an environmentally safe way to deter vector-borne diseases, so that Flagler County is more prepared for pandemics like Zika virus in 2016 and beyond?” During their research, the students learned that some of the chemicals sometimes used in mosquito control are harmful to humans, animals and the environment, and that one area of South

They don’t want to solve one problem and cause another. “We have to consider overpopulation,” Sarah said. “We are learning how to attract bats, but not too many.” For those who are a little queasy about bats, Sarah pointed out that they are already in the area, and can be seen around the football stadium at night, but few notice them.

They expect to have a video public service announcement ready in the near future. “One part is awareness,” Aaron said. “Things everyday people can do to deter the mosquito.” “They breed in containers, so people should tip and toss,” Sarah added. The team wants to add to the existing bat houses at Flagler Palm Coast High School, and hopefully branch out to parks like Wadsworth. But first, they will put a test bat house in one of their own backyards. “Bats are the natural way to go,” Sarah said. “It’s natural for them to eat mosquitoes and we already have the bat houses on campus.” The team plans to work with the construction teacher to build bat houses a little smaller than the current ones mounted near the roof line of the gymnasium. It can take a while for bats to use a new house, and the team has ideas on how to attract them — kind of a “plant it and they will

TOWN CENTER PUBLIX TO TURN 10 YEARS OLD
The Publix at 800 Belle Terre Parkway, in Town Center, has applied for a permit for $800,000 of alterations, as it approaches Dec. 6, which would mark 10 years since it opened. Caryn Pryor has been the manager for the full 10 years, and she said the most noticeable thing for customers would be colors and “redoing the outside” and possibly the pharmacy.
7-ELEVEN PERMITTED Among the commercial permits issued by the city of Palm Coast last week was one for $275,000 for 7-Eleven’s convenience store and canopy. Construction is underway at 2560 State Road 100, just in front of the Beach Village Apartments. Also issued this week were two other commercial permits: $20,000 for interior alterations at Create Your Taste, 4851 Belle

Adams will work directly with the community to get local charity events the airtime needed. “If it wasn’t for Crag Flagler Palms Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, prime time announcements would not be possible on our radio stations,” Adams said. “Basically they pick up the tab for the airtime to help our local charities and have been doing that for several years.” Since 2008, Flagler Broadcasting has grown from one station, WNZF News Radio, to five radio stations today with over 90,000 listeners from St. Augustine to Daytona Beach. Community announcements can be emailed to maryadams@flaglerbroadcasting.com.
