Gov. Scott says he’ll aid coordination for hurricane repairs JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The Flagler Beach pier was left without its T-section after Hurricane Matthew.

RECOVERY A portion of the pier might be opened soon, but the entire structure probably won’t open for at least four months.

ZONE

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler Beach residents and visitors who miss walking along the pier might get a chance to venture out onto a portion of it soon, but the opening of the entire pier — what’s left of it, anyway — probably won’t happen for at least four months. “We have a chance to keep the whole pier — or what you see now of the pier — but to actually make that happen may take all the way to the first of March,” City Manager Larry Newsom said at an Oct. 27 Flagler Beach City Commission meeting. Divers have checked the underwater portion of the structure, and completed an evaluation on the damage done by Hurricane Matthew, Newsom said. For priorities, Newsom said, he plans to work first on opening a portion of the pier near the restaurant — “at least some of it, maybe part where the Funky Pelican’s deck is” — then moving onto the more involved work of repairing the portions of the pier that are further out. The deck over the pier’s last 53 pilings was ripped off in the storm, and the pilings broken and scattered. “They’re gone, and I know some of them are down the shoreline,” Newsom said. The nearby lifeguard station continues to lean. Newsom said the city is still collecting information on possibilities for long-term improvements

to the pier. Those may include making the pier a concrete structure with wood boards that would serve as “a pressure release valve when those waves come in and start pounding on it,” Newsom said. Five dune walkovers were a total loss after the storm, Newsom said. People have been walking across the dunes to reach the beach, something city officials have repeatedly reminded people not to do, because it causes ecological damage.

SURVEY SHOWS LOCALS PRIORITIZE BEACH CLEANLINESS, EROSION

Results of a survey led by a Ph.D candidate in concert with the city show that nine out of 10 respondents consider a healthy beach very important to their quality of life. Chad Boda, a Ph.D candidate at the Lund University Center for Sustainability Studies, in Sweden, spent about 20 years living in Flagler Beach and has spent the last several years coordinating with city staff as he conducts research on coastal management. Boda said in a presentation at the Oct. 27 meeting that his survey respondents — 397 people, or about 9% of the city’s population — in a question about beach management priorities listed cleanliness, erosion and vegetation as their top three priorities out of a possible 15. Respondents took the survey before Hurricane Matthew. Parking and tourism were at the bottom of the list. But residents also overwhelmingly assigned the responsibility for beach management to the Flagler Beach City Commission, when in fact much of it falls to the Florida Department of Transportation, to the county and to a variety of state and federal agencies. FDOT’s right of way along S.R. A1A extends beyond the dune in many of the most eroded areas of beach, Boda said, giving it the right to make emergency repairs and alterations — like adding rock revetments — that have a major impact on the beach, and to do so without the public process that would normally be required. “That certainly means that the immediate ability for the city, for the commission and for citizens can make those kinds of decisions is diminished,” Boda said. Boda noted that the survey respondents listed sea-level rise near the middle of their priorities, but it hasn’t been integrated into the city’s beach management plan, which was released in 2014. It should be added, he said. “It’s kind of a glaring omission from the recommendations of the beach management plan itself,” he said.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott told local officials in an Oct. 31 meeting that he would do what he could to ease bureaucratic hurdles facing homeowners, businesses and local governments attempting to repair damage from Hurricane Matthew. “Probably the biggest issues Flagler is dealing with is what happened to your beaches, some of the water intrusion, how do we get everybody from DEP to the Department of Transportation to FEMA to the Corp of Engineers all to work together,” Scott said to reporters after the meeting. “So I’m going to work hard to get everybody to work together.” Work on a temporary repair of a closed 1.3-mile section of State Road A1A is already underway. The work is being performed by Halifax Paving, of Ormond Beach, which has a contract with the Florida Department of Transportation to complete the fix within 45 days of the signing of the contract over the Oct. 22-23 weekend. “I think we’re going to be able to be open even a little bit earlier than that,” Scott said. Flagler County Sheriff Jim Manfre said he expected two-way traffic to be flowing on that section of A1A in early November, though the speed zone would be lowered to 25 mph. “It’s extraordinary that this is happening so quickly, and it is because of the governor’s efforts,” Manfre said. Scott on Oct. 20 had ordered FDOT to expedite the work on A1A. His meeting Oct. 31 with local officials — including County Administrator Craig Coffey, County Commission Chairwoman Barbara Revels, Sheriff Jim Manfre, School District Superintendent Jacob Oliva, Public Safety Emergency Manager Stephen Garten, Adjutant General of Florida Maj. Gen. Michael Calhoun and Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts — lasted about 30 minutes and was not open to the public. “He understands that this is not over,” Netts said after the meeting. “Just the fact that the governor is here is sending the message that, ‘You have not been forgotten.’” Scott had said he would do what he could to speed the permitting process for work on damaged structures near the beach, Netts said. Palm Coast is also waiting on data from FEMA on how much post-hurricane work the city will be reimbursed for. Netts hoped for an initial response in 24-48 hours. Revels said the governor had the power to improve communication and coordination between municipalities and the various state and federal agencies involved in responding to the storm. “I’m sure he’s hearing the same thing everywhere he’s stopping,” she said. “He can being together all those agencies.”

JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

A group of voters know their votes won’t be counted in Flagler County. They might not be happy about it, but, paraphrasing an Eddie Cochran song, “They’re too young to vote.” Most of the schools in Flagler County conducted mock elections on Tuesday, Nov. 1. “Some were upset that their votes don’t really count, and that it’s a mock election,” said Principal James Menard, at Imagine School at Town Center. The mock election was made possible by the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections office, and is something the office has done in the past. “We teamed up with Kaiti Lenhart, supervisor of elections,” Old Kings Elementary Media Specialist Kim Weeks said. “The Supervisor of Elections provided the website, used all over Florida, for the school elections.” As Menard watched the 400 students file in and out of the makeshift voting area, he recalled a mock election he voted in. “I remember when I was in eighth grade we had a mock election in school — I think it was Bush vs. Dukakis —and I remember that experience, and learning about voting,” he said. The fourth- through eighthgrade students at Imagine School participated in the election — or not. A soft-spoken student, TJ Smith, explained why he exercised his right not to vote. “Some of it has to do with my religion, because I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and what we believe is in the Kingdom of God,” TJ said. “Besides, with Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton, and

everything that I have seen, I’m kind of neutral about it. It doesn’t matter to me who becomes the next president. I feel it’s kind of between the lesser of two evils.” Gabe Auletti was still sitting at his voting booth long after the rest of his classmates voted and left the room. Deep in thought, it was as though his vote would count. “I didn’t really know for sure, when I came in, so I had to think about it for a while,” he said. “One of my parents is Democratic, and one of my parents is Republican, so I don’t know which one to choose. I had to think about it myself.” Old Kings encouraged all of the students, from kindergarten to sixth grade, to participate in the election. “We wanted the entire school to have a say and a voice,” Weeks said. “By the end of the day we will be able to see the charts, and who won.” In an effort to keep the students focused on the facts, Katie Monsanto’s sixth-grade OKES students wrote essays about the Democratic and Republican candidates, steering clear of personal opinions. The students visited other classrooms to read their essays. When the younger students arrived in the OKES media cen-

“We decided to put our own twist on it this year, one that we thought would be more purposeful and relevant to our students.

ter, they were a little surprised to find four additional names listed, along with Clinton and Trump. “You will see some other candidates on there that we haven’t talked about, but Donald and Hilary are there at the top,” Weeks told the students. Students like Penelope McDonald, a first-grade student, and 12 years away from casting an actual ballot, said she researched the candidates. “I know that most of them lie, because they just want people to just vote for them,” Penelope said. “I go online to see what the truth is. I am excited that there is a girl trying to get elected president. I am not very happy about how Trump is not nice to women.” Teresa Rizzo, a first-grade teacher, said her class had focused on the voting process. “We have been voting in the classroom to understand how the voting process works. We voted on the jack-o-lantern face, what project we wanted to do, and things like that,” Rizzo said. “They’re passionate about it because they hear their parents talking about it.” Michelle Eaton had the sixthgrade students talk to her class about the facts. “They basically read their essays that gave information

about both,” Eaton said. “The candidates themselves we stayed away from, because it gets very divisive. We talked about the process, how they go from the caucus , and how they had to be nominated by their party.” Brittany Sanner, a fifth-grade student at OKES, said she didn’t want to offend anyone, but didn’t think Clinton should be running for the presidency because of her emails. Brittany is looking forward to when she can vote, and might even consider a career in politics. Wadsworth Elementary opted out of the mock election this year, at least for president, but there has been campaigning, for

Principal John Fanelli, and assistant principals Kara Minn and Fred Terry, will have a moderated debate for the students on why their choice of snack is the best. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, the students will vote, and the winning snack will be served later that week. “We decided to put our own twist on it this year, one that we thought would be more purposeful and relevant to our students,” Fanelli said. “We wanted to teach them the process the way it’s supposed to be, in an honest, clean and fair fashion, without bringing in all of the stuff going on in this election.”

PALM COAST

Reader: Why endorse? Let us think for ourselves I would like to address this letter to anyone at the Palm Coast Observer who cares about anti-bias and fair journalism. Page 6A on Oct. 27 was a real disappointment. The headline says, “We recommend ... “ Who are “We”? Does really every single contributor, editor, journalist agrees? And shouldn’t it be more like We, the people of Palm Coast? In fact, it was not only disappointment, I was disgusted to find out my new hometown’s paper is as corrupt as every other regular news source there is these days. You know very well that many people in Palm Coast read your paper and trust your opinion, and perhaps are not active in other social media. To try to influence their opinions by recommending candidates is just as dirty as all the politics are.

I was glad to see last week’s informational Election Guide and a little about most of the candidates. It actually made me excited and interested in voting and getting to know people I will be voting for. Now I feel even more passionate about them but can only hope that our Palm Coast people will do their homework and use their own brain in their voting decisions. I see you didn’t dare to recommend a presidential nominee. Good for you. There is too much divide these days, and I wish Palm Coast Observer would do a better job of informing people and letting them make their own decisions. Losing my faith in you (whoever you are), Palm Coast Observer! PAULA HEIMRATE Palm Coast

PALM COAST CITY COUNCIL, DISTRICT 3

Klufas understands value of city trails and amenities

Experience vs. ‘out-ofthe-box thinking’ Dear Editor: I am flabbergasted by the Observer’s endorsement of Nick Klufas for City Council District 3. Almost all of the other endorsements are based on a candidate’s experience, yet the endorsement of Klufas is based on lack of experience, which you call “out-of-thebox” thinking. In order to have effective “out-of- the-box” thinking, one must first understand the complexities of what is in the box. The only way to gain this knowledge is to work in the box. In a recent one-on-one conversation with Nick Klufas, I posed the question: “How does your experience in the technology world translate into the skills needed to represent the people of the 3rd district in the City Council?” He responded with his standard talking points about how the new world revolves around technology and we must take advantage of the backbone the city has. I followed up with: “But how does your experience prepare you for the other myriad of issues facing the city and our district?” He responded: “What other issues?” His lack of understanding is disconcerting. His proposal for Realtor registration and sign placement is simply not possible within the current statutes and codes we must live with. His proposal for micro cell towers like some other cities is based upon using street lights as mini towers. This is simply not doable in Palm Coast, where the street lights are not owned by the city. Such a system would require extensive coordination, negotiation and cooperation between the city, county, FPL, various community associations, CCDs and every individual carrier. With all due respect, I don’t think Mr. Klufas understands the complexity of this proposal. Those who know Pam Richardson are acutely aware of her vast experience and

Editor’s note: Thank you for your feedback. Your first question is who “we” are. I am the editor, Brian McMillan. The publisher is John Walsh. The news editor is Jonathan Simmons. The three of us, together with a handful of community members who wish to remain anonymous, discuss the candidates and try to come to a consensus about who we think would best serve our community. We trust that, just as you stated, people will make their own decisions. Even after reading our Election Guide and other news articles, however, some voters are undecided. We hope that our opinion will be of some use to them. If you read our pages in the future and still believe we are biased, please email me at editor@palmcoastobserver.com. It is our commitment to be as objective as possible in reporting the news.

knowledge of today’s environment, both city and county, and the complex interrelationships involved. She has a reputation for being somewhat of a maverick because she herself thinks “out-of-the-box.” She has a plan for improving communications using technology, based on her advisers’ broad expertise, but it is only a part of a broader set of goals based on her extensive experience dealing with a wide range of issues. In my way of thinking, good quality experience always trumps narrowly focused “out-of-the-box” thinking. My endorsement for the 3rd district City Council seat goes to Pam Richardson. NEIL C. COPELAND Palm Coast

Klufas provides ‘fresh ideas’ for Palm Coast Dear Editor: We support Nick Klufas for Palm Coast City Council District 3 and hope others will give him their vote. Nick Klufas is an impressive candidate with intelligent ideas. He has a solid understanding of the city’s past and a clear vision of its future. His knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment will provide a positive force in our community. We need his intellect, energy, fresh ideas and balanced perspective. We agree with his views regarding the importance of the city’s amenities and business initiatives. This defines us as a city and provides opportunities to every city resident. MIKE AND JOYCE JACKSON Palm Coast

Dear Editor: If you’ve met Nick Klufas, you already know about his passion for technology and the benefits it will bring to Palm Coast. But Nick, who is a software engineer, working for a Palm Coast technology company, could pretty much live and work anywhere he wants. That’s where his other passion comes in. Nick and his wife are professionals and homeowners here in Palm Coast because they want to be. Nick is a runner who appreciates the miles of accessible hiking and biking trails. He sees value in the pristine beauty of our area beaches, waterways and forests. He sees the importance of recreation amenities such as golf courses, soccer fields, swimming pools, tennis courts and green open spaces to the fabric of our community. He understands that these amenities are at the core of what makes living and working in Palm Coast unique. They are at the heart of his positive vision of our future quality of life and economic growth. I’m voting for Nick Klufas, because he believes in the brightest possible future for Palm Coast. CAROL OGDEN Palm Coast

Klufas sincerely cares about the future Dear Editor: I’ve known Nick Klufas for many years now, and every single time I run into him around town, whether on the field of one of our beautiful parks for a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee, or if I catch him driving to work at ACI, he always gives me a genuine smile and asks “How’s it going?” I’m honored to call Nick one of my good friends. He sincerely cares about the future of our city, and, most importantly, he thinks critically prior to making any judgments or decisions. We need more critical thinkers holding office, and that is the reason I am urging

Nick Klufas

everyone I know to get out and vote for Nick Klufas. He has great ideas for our city and will bring a fresh perspective to the council. My hope is that this inspires more young people to get involved in making our city and our county a better place to live, work, and play. JOHN BIRNEY JR. Flagler Beach

Klufas is a ‘bright light’ this year’ Dear Editor: It is a privilege for me to endorse Nick Klufas for the Palm Coast City Council. Mr. Klufas has been a bright light in this election year. He brings a respectful and positive attitude to the table along with fresh, creative and exciting possibilities for our city of Palm Coast. As I follow Nick through his campaign and watch as he grows ever more comfortable and confident in his pursuit, I am more than impressed by his pride in our city and his hope for interesting, affirmative developments for our city’s future. I choose Nick Klufas for City Council. JUNE CURTI Palm Coast

Klufas’ technology leadership is needed Dear Editor: Two letters to the editor were written to the Observer recently, regarding the spotty cell service and the breakdown of some of our emergency communications in Palm Coast during the recent hurricane. In

PALM COAST OBSERVER

PalmCoastObserver.com

reading through the Observer’s Election Guide, I see that one of the people running for City Council has a great background in this very area. In fact, in his interview with the paper Nick Klufas stated, “We can leverage Palm Coast’s already installed fiber-optic infrastructure to deploy micro cell towers on top of lamp posts and street lights. These micro towers can then be leased to other carriers, increasing city revenues without raising taxes. Other cities are already doing this.” I so liked this approach, I decided to look up his website where, among other things, he states he wants to be the technology watchdog for Palm Coast and upgrade our emergency communications systems. We certainly need someone with the right background and knowledge to upgrade these vital systems, and Nick is the obvious choice. His website, klufas2016.com, is a quick read, and his many endorsements are impressive. JACK OGDEN Palm Coast

We need Klufas Dear Editor: The election Nov. 8 will be one of the most important for the city of Palm Coast since its incorporation. The election will create a new majority on the City Council and will determine how Palm Coast deals with new growth and develops in the years to come. The city needs Nick Klufas to be part of this new majority. I am convinced that his professional skills as a software engineer will be invaluable as the council addresses issues such as the new emergency communications system with Flagler County, improved mobile phone service for residents, business and emergency services, and attracting new technology companies to Flagler County. In addition, his demonstrated ability and willingness to research and learn about the many other issues facing the city, his enthusiasm and his desire to keep Palm Coast a green, beautiful place to live for residents of all ages make him the best candidate for the job. I urge all Palm Coast voters to vote for Nick Klufas on Nov. 8. ROBERT CUFF Palm Coast

Editor’s note: Robert Cuff won the Aug. 30 primary and was appointed to fill a vacant seat early on the City Council.

CLERK OF COURTS

Tom Bexley

Vote for my husband, Tom Bexley Dear Editor: I’m writing today because I want to show why the voters of Flagler County should vote for my

husband, Tom Bexley, for Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. I have no doubt he is the best person for the job. I realize that many who read this will at first think, “Well, of course she does; she’s married to him!” However, if the readers of this newspaper will indulge me, I’d like to explain why. If you don’t already know, the reason why you should is because he’s been your chief deputy for almost seven years. The way he knows the clerk’s office is the way a great cellist knows his instrument. He understand every nuance, every string. It’s because of this level of knowledge and care you should entrust my husband with the stewardship of the county’s money management. I’ve watched over the years as my husband has thrown himself into this “job.” I use those quotes because it’s more than just a job to him. He has always made himself available before and after hours to all the clerk’s needs, the employees’ needs, and you, the public’s needs. I’ve watched him answer his phone at 10 o’clock at night to help with a crisis, a question or a concern. On vacation, if he’s needed, he makes himself available. It’s that level of dedication you will continue to receive if you elect him. Tom truly believes he is a public servant. He’s there for you.

STACY BEXLEY Palm Coast

Bexley provides leadership, experience Dear Editor: I am writing to you so that you and your readers will know who my choice is to be Flagler County’s next Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. I am basing my decision on three criteria: Leadership, experience and service. Tom Bexley has proven to me to be the only one in Flagler County who measures up. Tom has been the chief deputy and chief operations officer for our current clerk for seven years. I know of no one else who can step into the job on Day One. Tom has worked tirelessly to integrate technology, increase efficiencies and maintain the high level of public service that our community has come to expect from the Flagler County Clerk’s Office. Tom’s knowledge of the county’s budget will be valuable from Day One, which is necessary to fulfill the office’s comptroller function. Tom has worked for the last seven years to help craft a budget that has allowed this office to maintain the highest standards of quality and customer service despite multiple years of budget cuts from the state Legislature. I would hate to imagine someone being elected our next Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller who does not understand this function from Day One. Tom Bexley knows what’s best; Tom Bexley does what’s best; and Tom Bexley is the best choice LUKE GIVENS Palm Coast

CRIME REPORT

The following is a summary of selected entries in the daily Flagler County Sheriff’s Office commanders reports: OCT. 31  Deputies responded to an address near Palm Coast Parkway NE to arrest a man who had two active felony warrants from Volusia County. The man resisted arrest physically. One deputy performed a takedown. The man was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler and medically cleared, then taken to the county jail.  A man pulled into the parking lot of the Walmart to fix a flat tire, but a vehicle pulled up beside him and two people got out and began hitting him, then drove off, he told deputies.  The Daytona Beach Police Department found a wallet belonging to a Fenimore Lane, Palm Coast resident, and asked the Flagler County’s Sheriff’s Office’s help in returning it to the owner. When deputies tried to find the owner, they discovered that his home had likely been burglarized overnight. Stolen items included a 2014 Red Chevrolet Camaro and two XBox gaming systems. OCT. 30  A man called the Sheriff’s Office after his Madison Green Parkway, Palm Coast neighbor’s children came to his house seeking help because their mother hadn’t been home for a few days. The Sheriff’s Office notified the Department of Children and Families, but the mother came home before DCF responded. Deputies arrested the mother for child neglect, and DCF turned the children over to family friends.

Palm Coast nears completion of hurricane debris cleanup ‘first pass’

BRIEFS

The first pass of debris cleanup is expected to be completed by sometime the week of Nov. 7, or possibly over the Nov. 5-6 weekend.

to 150,000 cubic yards of debris, with debris cleanup bills totaling $2 million to $5 million. The city will be reimbursed for part of that by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Landon said, “but only if we follow their rules,” which the city is trying to do. In other business at the Nov. 1 City Council meeting, the council unanimously approved a resolution approving a five-year contract with Waste Pro for garbage pickup. The contract will raise residents’ rates to $20.16 per month, from a current $18.62 per month. The new contract will go into effect June 1, 2017. The council also unanimously approved an ordinance amending the city’s landscaping code dur-

ing that ordinance’s second and final reading. It also unanimously approved a $327,325 contract with S.E. Cline construction for reconstruction of a water control weir on the Barrister Waterway near the intersection of Barrington Drive and Ballard Lane; a $1,341,910 contract with Sieg Ambachtsheer, Inc. for the rehabilitation of the Colorado Drive Bridge, over the canal just east of the intersection of Colorado Drive and College Court; and an $83,750 contract with Sieg Ambachtsheer, Inc. for reinforcement of the Pine Lakes Parkway gravity wall, along the west side of Pine Lakes Parkway just south of its intersection with Palm Coast Parkway SW.

County moves to fire emergency management planner Jennifer Stagg has been charged with repeated lateness, absenteeism and other offenses, but her former boss has come to her defense. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The head of Flagler County Emergency Services has announced his intention to fire Emergency Management Planner Jennifer Stagg, whose position in the division was a critical one during the response to Hurricane Matthew. A notice of intent to terminate letter from Public Safety Emergency Manager Stephen Garten states that Stagg's actions during the storm created a distraction that put others at risk. But Kevin Guthrie, the county's

former public safety emergency manager, in a public post on Facebook called the news of Stagg’s proposed firing “the most shocking news I have heard in probably 27 years of public safety.” Stagg has been a county employee for six years. The notice charges her with repeated absenteeism and lateness; insubordination; improper conduct; making false, vicious or malicious statements concerning another employee or supervisor; and conduct unbecoming a public employee. “Her blatant contempt and dis-

regard to decisions made by her superiors during October 6thOctober 14th, put the entire mission of life, safety and health of the Incident Management Team and the EOC at risk do (sic) to unneeded distractions during a most pivotal time in the Emergency Management of Flagler County,” the notice states. The letter enumerates more than two dozen alleged cases of lateness or absenteeism and says that Stagg's statements Oct. 6-14 led her supervisor to feel "not only verbally abused, but also dishonored." It does not explain what Stagg had allegedly said. Guthrie, who was Stagg's former manager and also worked with her previously in Jacksonville, wrote that he was imploring

anyone who had Stagg do something to ensure their safety during the storm to show up for her pre-disciplinary hearing, which began Oct. 31 and was scheduled to continue through Nov. 3. “I know the men and women of the BOCC feel like they can’t say anything for fear of losing their job," Guthrie wrote. “I care about my employees, even former ones... and this is the best thing I can do right now. Please don’t lay down; Flagler Rise Up." Sally Sherman, the deputy county administrator, is overseeing Stagg's pre-disciplinary hearing. The Palm Coast Observer was not able to reach Stagg for comment before press time.

Palm Coast resident Christina Deangelis found her 5-year-old cat named Baby Cat severely injured in her driveway Oct. 15, and when she rushed the cat to Flagler Animal Hospital, a veterinarian determined the cat had been shot in the face, according to a news release from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. The bullet had entered Baby Cat's jaw area and lodged above the shoulder, and the injuries were so severe that Baby Cat had to be euthanized. The Flagler Animal Hospital reported the Saturday, Oct. 15, incident to the Sheriff’s Office, and the Sheriff's Office launched an animal cruelty investigation. Despite interviewing several neighbors and checking with Palm Coast Animal Control for reports of any complaints about cats in the area, the investigator did not find any information. Deangelis, a resident of Laguna Forest Trail, fears another of her cats may have also been killed. It disappeared earlier this month. She told investigators she has lived at her home for three years and hasn’t had any problems with her neighbors or her animals. She said she is puzzled about who is responsible for shooting her cat, which lived indoors and outdoors. The Sheriff’s Office reminds all residents to contact the proper authorities about any problems involving animals. Here’s how to reach the agencies: Flagler Animal Services: 246-8612. They serve unincorporated Flagler County, Bunnell and Flagler Beach. Palm Coast Animal Control: 986-2520. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line: 313-4911. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help with information about this case. Anyone with any information has been asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 313-4911. Or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-8477.

Palm Coast officials expect to finish the first pass of hurricane debris cleanup sometime this coming week, or possibly over the Nov. 5-6 weekend, Palm Coast City Manager Jim Landon said at a Nov. 1 City Council meeting. “It is amazing, the magnitude of this issue,” Landon said, noting that crews had already picked up about 2,500 truck loads of debris — or 23-25 swimming pools’ worth. “Can we go any faster? The fact is it’s very difficult, because of the resources. You have to have the trucks; you have to have the people.” Once city crews and contractors have finished their first sweep of the city, Landon said, they’ll start on a second pass to pick up more debris. There might also be a third pass, if officials decide one is needed. “It will be sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas that hopefully we can be back to our regular schedule,” Landon said. City officials expect that by the time the cleanup is finished, they will have cleared 100,000

LETTERS FROM PAGE 7

Bexley has accepted the challenge and is most qualified Dear Editor: "I believe every CEO, both private and public, has an obligation to find and train their successor. Tom Bexley accepted the challenge and has proven himself to be our most qualified candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller." I cannot tell you how many months it has been since I penned the above endorsement. I can tell you that Tom continues to amaze me. I can also tell you I will miss working with this man who simply is the person we should entrust with this position. Were I asked to write an endorsement for Tom today, it would not change. Tom Bexley has proven himself to be our most qualified candidate. GAIL WADSWORTH Flagler beach

Editor’s Note: Gail Wadsworth is the current Clerk of Court.

Bexley is a ‘stellar choice’ Dear Editor: Tom Bexley is one of the most gifted, dedicated, hard working, innovative and citizen-centered public service leaders I have known in my three decades of working with local governments across Florida. He is a stellar choice for Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. I am especially proud to join so many

leaders and good friends in Flagler County in strongly supporting him. DR. JOE SAVIAK St. Augustine

Groundswell of support for Bexley Dear Editor: I am writing you so you and your readers are aware of the groundswell of support among not only the Flagler County clerks, but also numerous other clerk’s offices around the state, to elect Tom Bexley as Flagler County’s next Clerk of the Circuit Court. I have known Tom for a number of years now and have had the pleasure to work alongside Tom and Gail Wadsworth in the capacity as manager of criminal courts and now as the director of courts here in Flagler County. Tom is a proven leader with years of experience and knows what it takes to build a winning team. RICK BLAINE Palm Coast

Bexley’s foresight protected records during hurricane Dear Editor: Under Tom Bexley’s leadership as chief operations officer, the clerk’s office continues to realize a cultural shift in technology. Flagler County records maintained by the clerk’s office are far more accessible online than ever before. Tom’s vision of bringing clerk resources online shaped key initiatives such as eFiling

in courts, eRecording of land records, online court payments, and online juror eResponse. Tom also understands the importance of protecting Flagler County records and has worked closely with Technology Services to develop the clerk’s disaster recovery plan. Flagler County can rest assured that its clerkmaintained records are safe guarded at a remote data center located at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Jacksonville Branch. The recovery plan was successfully executed during Hurricane Matthew. Without Tom’s leadership, the disaster recovery plan would not have been a reality in time for Hurricane Matthew. Leadership is a process that evolves with time. Tom is a leader who acts as an agent of change, a developer who forges a better way forward. Tom understands the need to integrate staff, partners and ideas by drawing from the past and present experiences to show how the future will be orchestrated. Tom leads and motivates staff, bringing them together in an organized and practical way. Without reservation and with strong conviction, I endorse Tom Bexley as Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. Further, I look forward to working with Tom as we continue to modernize access and protect the public records of Flagler County. CARLOS GARCIA Flagler Beach

Editor’s note: Carlos Garcia is the director of information technology at the clerk’s office.

My dad believes in ‘service above self’ Dear Editor: Donald O'Brien is a fresh face, but he's someone who has been positively impacting the Flagler County community for more than 25 years. My dad always says "service above self." Those words are true for him in his professional life and his personal life. We need someone on the County Commission who will get things accomplished rather than just repeat the rhetoric we hear every election cycle. It's time for fresh energy and new ideas. It's time for Donald O'Brien.

his community. He’s been literally all over St. Johns and Flagler counties in the aftermath of the storm that decimated the shores he grew up on. He offered to help family, friends, and complete and total strangers. He put out posts on Facebook, offering his help, his skill and his chainsaw to literally every person who needed it in the wake of the storm. The compassion, kindness and strength he gave freely, without asking anything in return, should be an inspiration to us all.

Rick Staly

Rick Staly is a true leader: fair, honest, transparent Dear Editor: I have been a Flagler County resident now for over 12 years. I am writing this completely unsolicited as my vote of support for Rick Staly as Flagler County sheriff. I had the opportunity to work with Rick for two years during our time at the Ginn Companies. Rick was my boss. What I would like to speak to is the quality of leader Rick is. He was at times a bit of a taskmaster, but he wanted things done right, and there were no options to him but “right.” But mostly, Rick was fair, honest, and completely transparent about his vision, his work ethic, and his dedication to his employer. As I got to know him better, I began to understand that this was Rick Staly, the way he always

has been (and still is). His dedication to his beliefs, be they to his job, his family or his community, is something to be enviable of. As we spent time together, I began to learn what made Rick be Rick: the life he has led in law enforcement and policing. He has a record and resume any law enforcement officer would be proud to have. I have watched him be a community leader in Flagler County over the past years. I have seen him around his family and friends, how he engages all who approach him, and I feel beyond any doubt that he is by far the best, most qualified candidate for Flagler County sheriff.

age of workers who voted on your endorsements? I believe that Mr. Staly should be given the opportunity to respond to these important questions. The honesty and integrity of the sheriff position is paramount to the safety of all Flagler County residents. TOM DOUGHERTY Palm Coast

Dear Editor: During the course of the election process, I have been approached by numerous Flagler County residents who have voiced their concern about the validity of fellow sheriff candidate Rick Staly’s endorsements. Mr. Staly has stated he received the endorsement of Flagler County employees, firefighters, sheriff deputies and teachers? In fairness to Mr. Staly, I would like to give him the opportunity to answer the following questions: Who are the teachers that have endorsed you? Were all the above endorsements voted on by all of the workers? Do you have any documentation of the percent-

Editor’s Note: Tom Dougherty is running for sheriff, with no party affiliation. The Observer attempted to reach Rick Staly to give him a chance to respond to these questions, but did not get an immediate response. Of the endorsements listed, we do have some information about the sheriff deputies’ endorsement. According to the Police Benevolent Association, there was a vote taken among deputies in the PBA, with these results: Staly 67, Larry Jones 35, Dougherty 1, no endorsement 18. SEE LETTERS PAGE 12

Dear Editor: We do not need to have an amendment added to the Constitution giving us the right to put solar on our homes. We already have that right. The real issue with this amendment is the second part. This is a proposal totally funded by the electric companies. It is not a pro-solar initiative. The main idea of this amendment is to kill net metering. How this works is your solar panels make power all day and all your excess electricity goes back into the grid, turning your meter backwards. The power you produce goes into the grid and is used by the next house down from you. You “bank” the extra power you make that goes back into the grid. This banked power is what you use on cloudy days and at night. At the end of the year, any extra power you have “banked” is paid back to you at about 1/3 of what the power company charges you per kilowatt. They profit by 2/3 and they charge your neighbor for the power you make at full price. This proposal wants to take all of this away. They want to keep our excess power and charge us for cloudy days and night power use. The power companies see that solar will take business away from them, and they are trying to add an amendment to our Constitution that will kill solar in Florida. The “Sunshine State” is not solar friendly. Those who invest in solar could end up paying twice as much as other cus-

Vote no on 2 to prevent marijuana ‘abuse’ Dear Editor: Have you ever sat in the parking lot of our library, or at a Winn-Dixie, a Publix, a Walmart? What you readily see is the abuse of “handicap” tags — I would guess 75% of those who have them. Why? Because the same people (doctors) who wholesale them out are the same people (doctors) who will issue (wholesale out) permits to use “medical” marijuana. You can claim it is for “medical” reasons, but soon it will be for headaches, sore back, sore throat, tooth ache, belly ache, or whatever. You know it, and so do I. When is the last time on record that handicap tags were verified and/or pulled? Oh no. Can’t do that. That’s discrimination. It is, as long as the general public sits back, does nothing, and gets ripped off. I say, vote no on Amendment 2. It’s not good for the country, certainly not good for our children.

Outgoing elected officials say farewell in their final full meetings before Nov. 8 election Mayor Jon Netts, City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo and School Board member Sue Dickinson attended their last full meetings Nov. 1. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Photos by Jonathan Simmons

Three local elected officials said farewell to their colleagues on elected boards Nov. 1 in their final full meetings with those boards before their successors take their places after the Nov. 8 election. Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts and School Board member Sue Dickinson have served on the City Council and the School Board, respectively, since 2001. Palm Coast City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo was elected in 2011. Netts has been the city’s mayor since 2007, and is leaving that position due to term limits. He served as a city councilman from

City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo, School Board member Sue Dickinson and Palm Coast Mayor Jon Netts

2001 to 2007, and served on the city of Palm Coast Code Enforcement Board member in 2000 and 2001. “It has truly been a privilege and an honor to serve Palm Coast,” Netts said in his comments at the end of the Nov. 1 City Council meeting. Netts thanked his wife, Priscilla, for her support, and noted that the couple had “found Palm Coast sort of by accident, the way many of you did. … We came and looked, and it was exactly what we wanted.” Much of that, he said, was because of

RECEPTION PLANNED FOR MAYOR NETTS

The city of Palm Coast will hold a reception at 4-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3, to celebrate Mayor Jon Netts’ 16 years of service to the city. The “We Honor Your Honor” program will be held in the Community Wing of Palm Coast City Hall, at 160 Lake Ave. The formal program will begin at 5:15 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

the vision of Palm Coast’s first mayor, Jim Canfield. “The guiding force for me for these 16 years has been that vision to make Palm Coast what it is today, and to keep it what it is today,” he said. Netts noted that the city’s five council members “don’t always agree, and that’s a good thing,” but that the city’s elected board, and its staff, “have always had the same goals in mind,” and share “the same vision ... the same enthusiasm about our community.” Netts’ address Nov. 1 came shortly after that of District 3 City Councilman Jason DeLorenzo. DeLorenzo, who is Government Affairs Director for the Flagler Homebuilders Association,was elected in 2011 as the youngest candidate in Palm Coast’s history to win a City Council election. He opted not to run for reelection to City Council in 2016, instead running against incumbent County Commissioner Charlie Ericksen

for the County Commission District 1 seat. “I’ve tried to serve you to the best of my ability,” DeLorenzo said, choking up as he spoke. “Over the last five years, I’ve had to make some difficult decisions. Some kept me up at night, and some were not always popular.” But, DeLorenzo said, he’d always tried to make the best decisions for the Palm Coast community. “It has been my absolute pleasure to serve on the City Council,” he said. “I really have enjoyed every moment of it, and I hope you can see how much it’s meant to me.” DeLorenzo and Netts will both appear together with the council two more times: for a City Council workshop on Nov. 9, and for the beginning of a City Council meeting Nov. 16, when the current City Council will initiate the meeting before the swearing in of the newly elected City Council. While Netts was giving his fare-

well address from the City Council chambers in City Hall, Dickinson was addressing the School Board for the last time through an audio feed at the board’s regular meeting at the Government Services Building in Bunnell. She has represented the School Board’s District 5 seat for three consecutive terms. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the citizens of Flagler County for entrusting me in a very important position over the past 16 years,” she said. Dickinson said she often heard both teachers and administrative staff members say they loved coming to work, and, she said, “that says a lot for what we are doing.” Dickinson noted that she didn’t yet know who would replace her — Myra Middleton-Valentine and Maria Barbosa are in a runoff election for the District 5 seat — and made a request: “No matter who it is, I only ask one thing,” she said. “I really would like to see our board come back together as one. We are each only one of five. We need to go back to agreeing to disagree, and not hold things against each other. No, we are not expected to agree on everything; we’re not supposed to. We are all here to bring our own thoughts and ideas forward. … I wish each of you the best, and I know I’m going to watch many more great things to come from Flagler County Schools.”

As elections day nears, one of the county’s most contentious races — for the position of Flagler County sheriff — also remains one of the most financially lopsided, with Rick Staly, a Republican, far outspending the Democrat Larry Jones and no-party-affiliation candidate Thomas Dougherty. As of the last financial reports the candidates submitted, which covers their contributions and expenditures through Oct. 21, Staly had raised more than 12 times as much as his Democratic opponent, and spent more than 16 times as much. He’d raised more than 123 times the amount raised by Dougherty. Staly had raised a total of $172,623, large chunks of it in the form of loans and contributions to himself, while Jones had raised $13,659.85. Staly had spent $165,205.81; Jones had spent $10,242.43. Dougherty has listed a total of just $1,400 in monetary contributions as of Oct. 21, and a total of $2,054.44 in expenditures. In that most recent campaign treasurer’s report covering Oct. 15-21, Jones reported $900 in contributions, all in the form of checks from individuals — three Palm Coast residents and an Ormond Beach resident. He spent $185 in that period on ads and event expenses. Dougherty reported no contributions, and $739.45 in expenditures on advertising, lawn signs and palm cards.

In the same time frame, Staly reported $5,475 in monetary contributions and $21,943.42 in inkind contributions, and reported $8,381.86 in expenditures. Staly’s in-kind donations were for a $300 booth donation at an event, and otherwise from himself, in the form of postage and handling. Of the checks he received, some were from Flagler County residents, but many of the largest were from people who live outside of Flagler County or outside of Florida. And Staly spent a large amount on advertising: $675 for an ad with the Daytona Beach News-Journal; $6,803.46 for postage and handing through Dispatch Depot in St. Augustine, and $759.40 for Dixie Strategies, the firm that has handled much of his campaign media. Many of Jones’ listed expenditures have been at gas stations where he’s bought gas for canvassing: He listed $50 in gas expenses on the Aug. 26-Sept. 2 report and $61.89 in the Aug. 13-25 report. Three of Jones’ reports list no expenditures at all. Jones has not spent any money on advertising. through local news sources. Staly has spent $10,159.26 in expenditures on advertising in local newspapers and news web sites ($6,126.26 of that on ads in the Palm Coast Observer). Dougherty’s ad purchasing in local publications totaled $484.18, for an ad in the Palm Coast Observer. He reported no expenditures in 12 out of 23 financial reporting periods.

Both Mosquito Control candidates approve of solution in the case of the missing ballots Candidate Florence Fruehan said he will not contest the race as a result of the error, and his opponent, Aynne McAvoy, said it was ‘highly doubtful’ that she would contest the race.

among those who receive the ballots, but that those 2,300 ballots are likely not enough to alter the race’s outcome. “People who might have just passed over it, it’s now going to call attention to the race,” he said. “I think it’s going to change the race quite a bit.” But, he said, “I’m going to accept any outcome. I’m not going to cause any hassle as far as if it’s a close race.” McAvoy wasn’t ready to say outright that she wouldn’t contest the result. But, she said, “It would be highly doubtful. It would have to be a really close election to even consider that.” Flagler County Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart said the Elections Office sent out 2,250 “supplemental ballots” Oct. 31 to voters who’s received the faulty ones. The error affected some voters in precincts 29, 33, 35, which are on the barrier island, and in precincts 9, 23 and 37, which are precincts in which some voters are eligible to vote in the Mosquito Control race, and some aren’t, depending on their address. About 216 voters affected by the error were voting from overseas and were sent supplemental ballots by email. They will have an extra 10 days to return them. On Nov. 1, Lenhart said, overall early-voting numbers had surpassed the total numbers of early voting ballots cast in the 2012 general election. A total of 19,918 people voted early in Flagler County in the 2012 race when there were eight full days of early voting. A total of 20,626 had voted before the polls closed on the afternoon of Nov. 1. Early voting this year began Oct. 24 and ends Nov. 5. Early voting is being held daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 24 to Nov. 5 at three locations: The Flagler County Public Library at 2500 Palm Coast Parkway NW, the Palm Coast Community Center at 305 Palm Coast Parkway NE and the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Office at 1769 E.

The two candidates whose race was incorrectly omitted from about 2,300 ballots both believe that the way the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Office is handling the situation — mailing out “supplemental ballots” with just that race to those who’d received faulty ones — is the best option. Candidates Aynne McAvoy and Florence Fruehan are both running for the East Flagler Mosquito Control District 3 race. “I think the option that was chosen was by far the most simple to understand for everyone,” said McAvoy, 66 and a seven-year Flagler County resident who worked as an EMT and a police officer before she retired. The Florida Division of Elections had suggested that the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Office not do anything about the roughly 660 early-vote ballots that did not include the race, and that the office mail people who’d voted by mail with an erroneous ballot a new complete ballot, with all of the races. There were potential problems with both proposed solutions. Disregarding the early vote ballots entirely, said McAvoy, “totally disenfranchises the voters,” while mailing out new ones that include all races “is fraught with peril” because of the risk of ballots being counted twice — or candidates alleging they may have been. Fruehan, a 57-year-old doctor at Palm Coast Urgent Care who has worked there since 1991, agreed. Since the error was discovered, Fruehan said, “The election board has handled things on a very professional level.” But, he said, the missing race was “quite an error to be made, since we have a big election coming up.” “The Canvassing Board — I still have a difficult time understanding that they’d keep us off the ticket,” Fruehan said. “You know what you have to do to become an elected official? You have to submit reports, like every week … I must have gotten 15 telephone calls reminding me to do this, reminding me to do that, but I guess I should have made a call reminding them to put me on the ballot!” he said with a laugh. Both candidates said they thought the error would draw more attention to the race. “It may have brought the race forward in people’s consciousness,” McAvoy said. “I’ve always claimed that the Mosquito Control race always gets pushed to the bottom of the ballot or the back of the ballot. At least with this incident … those that were not aware of the Mosquito Control race are kind of being asked to think of it.” Fruehan said that the error, and the mailing of the supplemental ballots, might change the race by bringing more attention to it

Sheriff’s Office and Flagler Beach Rotary donate gifts to Project WARM Johnny Rogers Buddy & Beyond Sunday, November 6th 7:30PM

Members of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office carried bags full of children’s clothes, diapers, juice boxes and Halloween costumes — gifts for babies and youngsters who started their lives addicted to drugs — to Project WARM on Oct. 27, according to a Sheriff’s Office news release. Project WARM — Women Assisting Recovering Mothers — is a long-term residential program for women with drug and alcohol dependence. The women who enter treatment are permitted to include their children in the treatment process. Children under 6 may live at the facility with their mother. While they’re in treatment, the women live in a therapeutic community with clinical help from a team of therapists, therapeutic groups and individual therapy. Recently, Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Jon Welker and Deputy Robert Tarczewski organized a Sheriff’s Office drive to collect supplies, clothing and Halloween costumes for Project WARM. As a dad himself, Welker said he has “a soft spot for kids.” “It’s hard enough growing up in this world, and even harder when you’re behind the eightball,” Welker said. Thirty to 40 people from the Sheriff’s Office, and the Flagler Beach Rotary Club donated items to the program.

said. “We work on getting the babies to trust people.” The goal is to expose children to the Sheriff’s Office and fire department because the kids’ experiences with law enforcement often haven’t been positive, McLaughlin said. Children who come to Project WARM require different kinds of care, McLaughlin said, because of the physical challenges they began their young lives with. Even so, she said, the center has at least an 85 percent success rate for the kids. “We try to keep this as close to a normal day care center as possible. So when they transition into the community, it’s not so hard,” McLaughlin said. “It’s a small environment so we can provide the care that they need.” Bringing the items to Project WARM might make a small difference in the young children’s lives, Welker said. And on Oct. 27, several of the infants were wearing Halloween costumes purchased just for them.

Hello, postseason Players hoist Devin Mathews, who closed the game with an interception to send Matanzas to the playoffs.

With a win last week, Matanzas High School earned its first trip to the playoffs. JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

Philip Moultrie finished with 119 rushing yards and a score against Deltona.

he Matanzas Pirates football program began in 2006. After nine consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates turned their fortunes around last year, and now they’ll go even further — to the playoffs. So, how did Matanzas get to this point? Three years ago, Robert Ripley became the new head coach. As in other seasons, his team struggled to regular games and district contests. Last season, the Pirates surprised everyone, but an 8-2 season wasn’t good enough, and they missed the playoffs. Getting back to work this year, Matanzas repeated its 5-0 start. After a blowout loss to Mainland, the Pirates dropped a second straight game, to Pine Ridge, putting themselves in a do-or-die game for the second straight season against Deltona. The Wolves

DID YOU KNOW? Matanzas becomes the sixth Flagler County football team to advance to the postseason. All of the others have come from Flagler Palm Coast.

took last year’s game to reach the playoffs for the first time in their history. This past Friday, Matanzas edged Deltona 17-14 for its first ever playoff berth. “It’s a little overwhelming right now,” an emotional Ripley said after the game. “We’ve put in a lot of work and time, did some good and bad things, but this group of kids just wouldn’t stop. These kids are going to get old and come back to this place, and there’s going to be a banner that’ll let everybody know that this group did it first.” Pirates junior Devin Mathews caught a 78-yard touchdown pass to give the Pirates the lead in the third quarter, but he made the biggest play of the game — and in Matanzas football history — by intercepting a pass that closed out the game. “I left everything I had out there on the field for our seniors and the upcoming classes that’s going to play football here,” Mathews said. On getting the game-clinching interception, Mathews said, “When my dad (coach Don Mathews) told me to cover No. 8 (Blake Hinson) for the rest of the game, I knew I had to get something done. And, when they finally threw it to him, I knew I was going to get it.”

Ripley was well pleased with the Pirates' effort at the end of the game.

In with the new Matanzas JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

The Pirates’ rise has come from many committed parties.

o team in the area has proven more people wrong — including myself — in the last two years than the Matanzas Pirates. After coach Robert Ripley’s inaugural season, I didn’t expect much from Matanzas. Come to think of it, when I predicted Matanzas would finish 5-5 for the 2015 season, I was being nice. Although they had lost a few close games that prior season, nothing about Matanzas expressed it would become a top team in the area. The Pirates went into last year undecided on the most important position on the field — the quarterback. But that was when all things fell into place for them. Senior quarterback Mackenzy Wagner took over the position, and he was the perfect fit for Ripley’s play style. Now, the Pirates have backto-back winning seasons and are headed to the playoffs. “We have commitment from our kids, our coaches, our administration and our fans,” he said. “They have willed this through their hard work and commitment to every piece of our program. Most, if not all, of them are committed to putting the team first to reach a common goal.” I saw that commitment from the fans a year ago. Until last season, Flagler Palm Coast blew out Matanzas every time they played. Despite the one-sided rivalry, last year’s game broke the attendance record. Matanzas was the game other opponents chose to play for homecoming, anticipating an easy win. Now, the Pirates have become the circled game on other teams’ calendars, because they have to prepare a few more hours during the week. They’ve struggled to win any district games throughout their history but have won six in two years. I’ve never seen such a transformation in any sports program over a this short amount of time. Congratulations to Pirate Nation.

RACE against

cancer JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

efore the sun was up, the grounds of Florida Hospital Flagler were awash in pink— pink fire engines, pink tutus, pink T-shirts, and pink hair — for the sixth annual Pink Army 5K Run/Walk. A familiar female face crossed the finish line at the Pink Army 5K, 20:22 after she took off with the first running group: Kelly Brasol — Kelly Walker when she was a student and member of the track team at Flagler Palm Coast High School. The first person to cross the finish line, at 16:55, was Joshua Brands.

Shoshana Ravede ran with her dad, Jim Ravede.

Hundreds of runners and walkers of all ages laced up their shoes to help those in need get breast cancer testing and screenings.

Little Madelynn also showed up at the starting line for the Kids Fun Run at 8:45 a.m. The Fun Run took an early turn as the some of the small runner s veered off the course en masse. Dawn Lisenby, cowbell shaking in her hand, herded them back on course.

Joshua Brands was the first to reach the finish line. He ran the race in 16:55.

Madelynn Fallon runs toward the finish line in the children's Fun Run.

The 5K was hosted by Florida Hospital Flagler in partnership with the city of Palm Coast, the Women’s Initiative of United Way of Volusia/Flagler Counties, Chicks With Cans, the Florida Hospital Flagler Foundation, Flagler Schools and Flagler Beach. All proceeds go toward assisting qualified patients in the community who are in need, helping to pay for mammograms, breast ultrasounds, stereotactic breast biopsies, education and other specific diagnostic services to aid in the early detection of breast cancer.

“I am proud to work with the city and the Pink Army on this race,” said Pink Army Chairwoman Helga van Eckert. “What a great way to get the community engaged and educated on the importance of screenings. I am also proud that the proceeds of the event will stay right here in Flagler County and assist those in our community in need.”

Goblins vs. Ghouls: FPC’s Halloween baseball tradition

he Flagler Baseball team played its annual Halloween costume game on Saturday, Oct. 29, at FPC. Players, coaches and fans dressed as politicians, comic book heroes, social media stars and other characters. While in character, players have to manage with advantages or disadvantages. For example, Charlie Alfano – dressed as a prisoner – played the game locked in handcuffs. C.J. Wilt – a cone – used his cone for a glove. According to head baseball coach Jordan Butler, the Goblins beat the Ghouls 106-7. At least, that’s what he was told. “The game is something fun for the kids,” Butler said. “Baseball is supposed to fun, and sometimes we get too locked in on winning and getting better that we forget the fun part. So this game is supposed to be a reminder of why we all started playing the game in the first place.” — JEFF DAWSEY

Que’Shaun Byrd

Seabreeze (1-7) vs. FPC (2-6) FPC wins 20-10 Both teams are coming off the biggest losses of their season (FPC lost to Mandarin 55-0, and Mainland beat Seabreeze 70-7), and both will finish with their worst records in at least five years. FPC’s Que’Shaun Byrd will be playing his last high school game. He will make the biggest difference in this game. Both teams have shown flashes of good defense this year, but only FPC has managed to show any offense, mostly through Byrd.

Matanzas (6-2) vs. Pedro Menendez (4-5)

Matanzas wins 17-10 With the Pirates now playoff bound, Matanzas will most likely rest a lot of starters and key players for this regular season finale. The question is when will coach Robert Ripley pull them? Pedro Menendez, on the other hand, has been eliminated from playoff contention and will look to close out the season with a win. Menendez’s quarterback exploded for over 300 total yards and four touchdowns against Orange Park last week, so the Pirates will have their hands full with an explosive offense. Depending on how long Philip Moultrie and company stays in the game, Matanzas should come away with the victory.

Father Lopez (2-6) vs. Victory Christian Academy (7-1) Victory Christian wins 50-3 The Green Wave defense has allowed at least 33 points in every game this year, and Victory Christian knows how to score point in bunches. The Storm has only been held to under 20 points once this season and only allowed one opponent to score more than 30. Note: Mainland (9-0) has concluded its regular season.

or 362 days out of the year, the Palm Coast Fire Department relieves people of their fears when its firefighters step on the scene. But, over three days at the end of October, the same firefighters have done their best to give locals a scare. The doors of the fire department’s Hall of Terror creaked open on Saturday, Oct. 29, and closed on Monday, Oct. 31, at Fire Station 21. “It started as a way for on-duty firefighters to have Halloween, since they wouldn’t be home with their families to trick-or-treat,” said Lt. Dan Driscoll. “So they put up a little haunted house and handed out candy, and now it has grown into this.” Lt. Rich Cline began the program in 2001, and Driscoll took it

On Halloween night, Driscoll got the best compliment he’d heard over the three-day period, when one of the guests spoke about the Hall of Terror’s fear level. “The reactions and multiple visits from the same guests are great,” Driscoll said, “but the ultimate compliment is when I heard someone coming out saying, ‘I didn’t like that; that was scarier than Halloween Horror Nights (put on by Universal Studios).’ That made my day, because we want to have theme-park quality, but not at theme-park price. It makes the five months of planning worth it.” Michael Martins and Sierra Niebe seconded that guest’s sentiment as they exited the hall. Niebe had trouble catching her breath, and Martins confessed that they were both terrified, although he’d managed to keep his eyes open through the hall — unlike Neibe.

Mustard (Jamaris Dornan) and Ketchup (Jenna Howard) were all smiles before entering the Hall of Terror.

Kennedy Beckworth and her mom, Taylor Callahan, were all smiles at the Rymfire Terrific Kids Ceremony. Hendrix, only 2 weeks old, slept through the event.

“The heart of what we do in Kiwanis is service, and children are the heart of that,” Vice President Michael McElroy told the beaming parents and grandparents who filled the auditorium.

Alyssa Kempfer’s shirt said “Shine Like a Star,” and Alyssa, her brother Caleb and 107 other school students did just that at the Terrific Kids awards ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 26. For the first time, the program also included VPK students. Michelle Seth’s chorus students performed before the ceremony, and also sang about “Shine, Shine, Shine.” Joseph Parthemore proudly clutched his certificate as his grandfather, Jeff, took photos. Like many of the children, Joseph had a cheering section all for him. When asked what she did to receive the award, Kennedy Beckworth quietly said, “to do things safe and be kind,” traits very important now that she is a big sister to 2-week-old Hendrix, also in attendance. The students were recognized by the Kiwanis of Flagler/Palm Coast. Each child was called to the stage and presented with a trophy by Maria Barbosa, a past Kiwanis president.

2016 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE & GREETINGS

Family fun Adults had as much fun as the children at the Bunnell Elementary Fall Festival.

Bunnell Elementary Principal Marcus Sanfilippo spent a lot of time underwater at the dunk tank during the school’s Fall Festival on Friday, Oct. 28.

aleb Purdue snapped a selfie of himself and the Chick-fil-A mascot cow, Shayleigha Cooper flew a drone for the first time, and Principal Marcus Sanfilippo and Coach Cathy Zanella spent most of the night being dunked in a cold tub of water. The annual Fall Festival at Bunnell Elementary on Friday, Oct. 28, was definitely a family affair. Inside and outside the gymnasium, there were games to play, candy and toys to win, and so many people to see. Sanfilippo and Zanella switched off in the dunk tank chair to accommodate the nearly continuous line. Younger students, who might not have the pitcher’s arm to hit the target, were often lifted up to the metal button by student Grayson Blanchard, so they could push it with their hand and send the adults plunging into the cold water. There were a few shivers — but no hard feelings — as the crowd encouraged the youngsters. The Brito family all got into the Halloween spirit by dressing up. Cristiano was Spiderman, his sister Carina dressed as Robin Hood, while dad Steve was the Hulk, and mom Michelle was Batwoman.

BUSINESS OBSERVER BLUE HERON CELEBRATES ONE YEAR IN BUSINESS

President Rebecca DeLorenzo

Chamber building sells for $1.85 million The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce will now be a tenant in the building, which also houses Politis and Matovina Law, Office Divvy and Career Source.

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

The Flagler County Chamber of Commerce has sold its building in front of the airport for $1.85 million, becoming a tenant instead of a landlord. According to President Rebecca DeLorenzo, the sale strengthens the chamber’s financial position and allows it to refo-

cus on its core mission, which is to advocate for local businesses. “We are workshopping and working with focus groups and our committees to come up with a membership engagement plan, to be more proactive in the community and help our businesses even more,” she said. “It will be a more laser-focused chamber.” The chamber, which incorporated in 1962, built the building in 2006. The sale to Francisco Quesney was finalized Oct. 24, after some hurricane-related delays. The original asking price was $2.1 million. Almost half of all chambers around the country are tenants

and do not own their own buildings, DeLorenzo said, so it’s not an unusual setup. Being a landlord was also time-consuming. The sale also closes the book on the phone book enterprise, which had accrued about $40,000 in debt according to a presentation in July, when the chamber first announced it intended to sell the building. DeLorenzo said the phone book made $1 million per year in the early days, but it declined to a quarter of that over the years, leading to the chamber deciding to discontinue the phone book, with the last one having been published in January. Although the building is sold, all the tenants are staying put. Politis and Matovina Law is in Suite A and will be expanding to Suite B, as well, after the Tourist Development Council vacated. Office Divvy shares part of Suite B, with the chamber in Suite C and Career Source in suites D and E.

The Blue Heron Beachfront Bistro celebrated its one-year anniversary Friday, Oct. 28, at 909 N. Oceanshore Blvd., Flagler Beach. Call 439-9990. Co-owner Patsy Rainey said the bistro’s first murder-mystery dinner, “A Night at the Opera,” was a “huge success.” Other such events are being planned. “Since the hurricane, business in Flagler Beach has slowed down,” she wrote in an email. “We would love to let people know we survived the storm.”

CANDY FOR SOLDIERS: THROUGH NOV. 10 Flagler Dental Associates is hosting its fifth-annual Candy Buy Back program Nov. 1-10. Dr. Ryan Smith said the company will pay children $1 for every five pounds of candy they turn in. The unopened candy is being collected at both Flagler Dental Associates locations during regular business hours and will be sent overseas to deployed soldiers. Visit flaglerdentalassociates.com.

Starbucks, located at the southern entrance of Island Walk Shopping Center, is undergoing big changes. A $500,000 permit was applied for last week to demolish the existing building, at 216 Palm Coast Parkway NE. A manager at the store said she was unaware of any time frame for the work to be done. On the Island Walk website, Starbucks is shown to be housed temporarily for nine months in two suites on the eastern end of the shopping center, close to the Old Kings Road entrance.

of your home and garage. Move them away from your home; exhaust fumes can go through your attic. Do not stand in water when plugging in the electrical cords. Watch out for hot mufflers, which can burn holes into garage doors. Do not add fuel while generator is running. Do not overload your generator: It can only turn on so many times, so be aware of how many watts it can handle. To store the generator at the end of the season, do the following: Check the spark plug, air filter and oil and replace for storage. Do not store the generator with gasoline; try products like TruFuel or VP, which have a two-year shelf life. Invest in an outlet that can be put in your garage next to your electrical box, into which you can plug your generator; ask a local electrician for help. Visit flaglerpowereq.com or call 446-9516.
