Palm Coast plans temporary moratorium on medical marijuana The nine-month wait will give the city an opportunity to react to potential state regulations. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast is planning to place a nine-month moratorium on the construction or operation of medical marijuana facilities within the city limits. “The concept is that until we know what we’re doing at that state level, it is not good for us to try to address it at all,” City Man-

ager Jim Landon told City Council members at a Dec. 13 City Council workshop. No votes are held at workshops. The workshop was held a week after the Flagler County Commission opted to pass a similar moratorium, for six months, on medical marijuana facilities within unincorporated areas. The rationale in both cases was

much the same: The state might enact regulations on medical marijuana facilities, and if the city (or the county) acts before the state does, it could find its own regulations in conflict with statewide regulations. Part of the issue will concern zoning, City Attorney Bill Reischmann said. Medical marijuana facilities might be dispensaries, treatment centers or growing facilities, he said. “Right now, where would you put that? Would you put that in store-front? Would you put that in industrial? Would you put that in agricultural?” City Councilman Nick Klufas noted that other states have already dealt with these issues. “Don’t we have the opportunity here to plan where want to put it, so we can be in the forefront of where we want to go with this, rather than sitting in the back seat?” he said. “We’re going to need to have that local discussion,” Landon said, “But we think the local discussion is too early to get started, because we can come up with one thing, and the state comes up with something totally different.” Councilman Robert Cuff echoed Klufas’ concerns. “I hate to see us just sit on our hands for nine months … for two stone tablets to come down from Tallahassee,” he said. Mayor Milissa Holland suggested bringing the issue up at the next legislative delegation meeting.

Two boys charged in connection with school threats Two boys have been charged in connection with a bomb threat made against Bunnell Elementary School and an apparent plot against Flagler Palm Coast High School, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release. Authorities discovered the alleged threats against the two schools Sept. 7 after an emailed bomb threat was sent to Bunnell Elementary School from a student’s email account. That threat turned out to be unfounded, but six boys were pulled out of school as school officials and Sheriff’s Office detectives discovered what seemed to be a separate plot against Flagler Palm Coast High School. The six students have been barred from campus since Sept. 7 as detectives investigated the boys’ computers with the help of computer forensics investigators from the St. Johns

County Sheriff’s Office. The forensic analysis yielded 32,000 personal chat messages for detectives to read, according to the Sheriff’s Office news release. Detectives have forwarded to the State Attorney’s Office charges against two students for false reporting of a bomb, and have also forwarded charges against one of those two students for making written threats. Both charges are felonies. All six boys are still out of school on an indefinite “administrative excusal” as the school district holds its own investigation on whether they should be permitted to return to campus, Flagler Schools spokesman Jason Wheeler said. The six boys are taking their classes online.

Who’s watching out for

inmates’ health? A local woman called the Sheriff’s Office, concerned about her son, who is schizophrenic. When he punched a deputy, he was jailed, and his condition worsened, she said. Here’s a look at procedures at the jail for medical issues. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

t’s not unusual: Someone calls the police out of concern for a mentally ill family member, perhaps for a Baker Act. The individual then ends up in jail on criminal charges after an officer finds drugs on them, or the individual strikes the officer who’s trying to detain them. And then they’re jailed, potentially with medical or psychiatric needs that can be hard to meet in a jail. That’s what happened to Cid Ramirez. “I think I made a bad decision to call help,” said his mother, Palm Coast resident Maria Almeida, 74. Ramirez has schizophrenia. He hadn’t been taking his medication at home, and, on Sept. 23, he got into an argument with Almeida. She was concerned. She knew he hadn’t been sleeping, hadn’t been taking his medications. “He got at a point where I had to call help,” she said. “But when I called help, things turned out very bad.” She’d called the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. A Sheriff’s Office report said that Ramirez had grabbed her by the face. (She told the Palm Coast Observer that was “a misunderstanding.”) But when deputies arrived, according to an arrest report, Ramirez punched one deputy in the eye. The deputy tried to restrain Ramirez and take him to the ground, but Ramirez began scratching the deputy’s face and head, violently enough that the deputy “believed that the suspect was attempting to gouge out

DEATHS IN JAIL The Florida Department of Corrections — which runs state inmate facilities, not locals ones like the Flagler County jail — keeps a public list of the number of deaths annually in its facilities. In 2016, 309 inmates died while incarcerated out of an inmate population of 98,741. Of those, an official cause of death has been released by the medical examiner’s office only for 59. The remaining 250 deaths are “pending.” The most recent year for which the cause of death has been determined in all cases is 2009. That year, 11 inmates died of HIV/AIDS, 95 died of cancer, 85 died of cardiac problems, 38 died of gastrointestinal problems, 27 died of unspecified “other medical” problems, five died of accidents, seven died of homicide, and 10 of suicide. There were a total of 278 inmate deaths in a population of 100,894.

his eyes,” a deputy wrote in the report. The deputy needed first aid by paramedics, and went to the hospital with lacerations on his face. Ramirez was handcuffed and taken to the county jail on multiple felony charges, and his arrest affidavit noted that his mother said he’d been diagnosed with schizophrenia. MEDICAL PROBLEMS IN JAIL

But when Ramirez was jailed, Almeida said, things got worse. He refused to take his medications, and also refused to cooperate with his public defender and refused visitors. He lost weight rapidly, she said, and didn’t drink enough water. On the Monday before Thanksgiving, Almeida said, her son was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler for dehydration, and doctors found blood clots in his legs. His mother worried that those blood clots could kill him in a jail environment. Heightening her anxiety were policies that prevented the jail or hospital from providing her with many of the details of her son’s medical situation and treatment. FLAGLER COUNTY POLICY

The Flagler County jail has procedures in place to screen inmates for medical needs when they enter the jail. Incoming inmates see the jail’s contracted medical staff, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jim Troiano said, and if they have urgent health issues, “911 is contacted, and they’re taken to Florida Hospital Flagler for treatment. It’s not unusual for us to have inmates housed at the hospital.” When it comes to medications, incoming inmates who say they take a particular prescription and need to continue it in jail need clearance from the jail’s contracted physician to take it. “There’s a verification process,” Troiano said. “Maybe some people are actually prescribed medication by our physician. ... If an inmate comes in with medications, our goal is for them to have those medications if it’s appropriate for them to take.” The inmate facility coordinates with inmates family members and regular doctors about what medications they should be taking, Troiano said. If there’s a conflict between the recommendation of a civilian physician and the jail physician, Troiano said, “It would be left up to our physician to make that call.” “We have to base it on what the (inmate facility) doctor says,” Troiano said. “I am sure that there are issues that do occur where the physician will say that the medication is not needed. ... But it’s all

The new inmate facility has greater options for segregating inmates based on individual circumstances.

on a case by case basis.” In cases when inmates refuse a medication, the jail usually can’t make them take it, Troiano said. But there are exceptions for lifethreatening situations. “Let’s say that we have an individual arrested and charged with homicide, and they refuse to take their psychotropic drugs — and they’re causing a problem for themselves or others that constitutes a Baker Act,” Troiano said. “They can be taken to the hospital. Or the doctor can order us to restrain the inmate so staff can administer his medication ... Medical’s involved, and ultimately the physician is making the call.” Nationally, if an inmate alleges that his care in jail has been inadequate, and he wants to sue, he has a high bar to meet. To win a legal claim that the inmate facility provided inadequate care, an inmate would have to show “deliberate indifference to serious medical needs,” according to the wording in a 1976 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Estelle v. Gamble. About 80% or more of the medications provided at the Flagler County jail are psychotropic drugs, and the Sheriff’s Office contracts with Stewart-Marchman-Act Behavioral Health Services for psychiatric care, Troiano said. FAMILY MEMBERS’ OPTIONS

By Dec. 9, a Friday, Cid Ramirez was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler, where he remained as of the night of Dec. 13, according to Almeida. Judge Matthew Foxman signed an order Dec. 12 granting Ramirez’s release from jail for medical treatment. Ramirez has a pretrial hearing scheduled for Jan. 10, on four felony charges: battery on a law enforcement officer, aggravated battery on a law enforcement

officer, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a person 65 years of age or older. (The state is not pursuing four additional charges.) Ramirez’s mother remained concerned about the pending court case and about her son’s physical deterioration since his incarceration. Troiano urged residents who believe family members are a threat to themselves or others to reach out to appropriate authorities. “We’ve seen tragedies where people have been killed, people have hurt others,” he said. “We’re urging the community: Report it appropriately, use the resources available. There are resources out there. We have protocols in place; we have training.” Troiano said he knows some people might be wary of involving law enforcement officers. “I have talked to people throughout my career who didn’t want to talk to law enforcement, because they didn’t want to bring reproach upon the family name ... or they didn’t want their family members to be subject to use of force,” he said. But in cases where an individual is dangerous to himself or others, he said, there are options. “Many times, it’s going to their physician to have them Baker Acted,” he said. “Now, will law enforcement have to go and pick those people up? In most cases, yes.” Family members might also petition the courts for a protection order if they believe relatives could harm them, he said. Or, a relative could contact law enforcement directly, but anonymously. “You can remain anonymous and ask for assistance over the telephone,” he said. “We will come out, we will evaluate, and we will make the right decisions.”

HEIGHTENED RISK Some individuals’ medical conditions put them at heightened risk in a jail setting, enough so that family members may hesitate to call law enforcement about the individual. For instance, that may be the case for individuals who have autism, or who have an intellectual disability. It can also be an issue for transgender people, who are at greater risk of sexual violence behind bars than the general inmate population. When it comes to inmates with autism, Troiano said, those whose autism might put them at risk may be placed in protective custody. A judge might also determine at first appearance to release such the inmate on their own recognizance. “It’s ... about expediting getting them out of the jail setting, getting them into a more appropriate setting,” Troiano said. The procedures would be similar for those with intellectual disabilities. Inmates who are at risk because they are transgender might also be released on their own recognizance, Troiano said. If not, they’re “placed in administrative protective custody until classification and medical can review their status,” he said. “If they’re vulnerable, if they’re a target, then we have the responsibility of protecting them.” What that entails will depend on the individual case. Someone “who has gone through a gender change surgery and lived as a woman for, say, 10 years — can we house that person with women? We certainly could,” he said. “But it’s not done arbitrarily; there has to be a process.” In many cases, he said, that might mean placing the individual in segregated housing — something that’s easier to do, he said, in the new inmate facility.

Palm Coast has no major problems with discrimination in housing based on race or national origin, but it does lack services for households without car access, and it lacks affordable starter homes and housing for the elderly, according to a Community Development Block Grant Program report. “When we have that development come in that maybe is smaller lots, we have to figure out a way to say yes, but also make it compatible with the neighborhood,” City Manger Jim Landon told the City Council at a Dec. 13 workshop. “City Council has the option of saying ... ‘Yeah, we don’t have to have all quarter-acre lots.’” There are also housing problems that disproportionately affect minority households. The report, requested by the city and completed by Northeast Florida Regional Council staff, identifies “impediments to fair housing,” defining fair housing as follows: “Individuals and families having the information, opportunity, and options to live where they choose without unlawful discrimination and other barriers related to race, color, religion, sex, familial

status, national origin, or disability, and that their choices realistically include options in integrated areas with access to opportunity.” The city commissions an analysis each year to meet requirements for CDBG funding. That money is used for infrastructure projects like the Seminole Woods multiuse path, housing rehabilitation for low-income homeowners, and public service initiatives such as summer camps serving children from low-income families. The city received about $438,000 in CDBG money in the last fiscal year. City requirements on lot size and the minimum number of bedrooms allowed per home could be an impediment to the construction of less expensive starter homes or retirement homes, Northeast Florida Regional Council Planning and Policey Managing Director Margo Moehring told the City Council at the workshop. The city also has few apartment units available, and 400 or fewer publicly supported housing units, including about 180 Section-8 units, according to the report. The median gross monthly rent in Palm Coast between 2010 and 2014 was $1,083, higher than the statewide median of $998. Those factors combine to leave

low-income residents with limited options. Of the 31,559 households identified in Palm Coast in 2015, about 12,833 — 41% —paid more than 30% of their income to housing, meaning they are defined as “housing cost-burdened” under HUD guidelines. About 6,959 — 22% —paid more than 50% of their income for housing. (Statewide, 42% of households are costburdened.) Someone making the federal minimum wage at 40 hours per week —about $15,080 per year, or $1,256 per month —would have to spend less than $377 per month on housing to avoid being considered housing cost-burdened. Some of the questions addressed in the report, developed to meet Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines, raise issues that aren’t a problem in Palm Coast. “One of the challenges with this is that the federal government tries to put the framework together, and they’re used to older cities that have a whole different layout —usually a minority area that you identify, or a low-income area — we really don’t have that,” Landon said. “It’s all blended together. So lots of times we don’t fit their nice

little columns or the boxes.” So, for instance, the report includes a dot-density graphic designed to show concentrations of white residents and black residents — with white residents represented with an orange dot, and black residents represented by a green dot — and the city shows up as orange with scattered green flecks. “There are no ethnic/racial concentrated areas of poverty within Palm Coast,” the report states. But there are housing problems that disproportionately affect minorities. A total of 40.79% of black, non-Hispanic households and 61.11% of Native American households in Palm Coast experienced “severe housing problems” — defined under HUD guidelines as incomplete kitchen facilities, incomplete plumbing facilities, more than one person per room or

a cost burden greater than 50% — while 26.88% of Hispanic households, 17.7% of white households and 15.99% of Asian or Pacific Islander households experienced severe housing problems. Palm Coast’s lack of public transportation is also an issue for many seniors and others, said Moehring. “There are challenges for households without cars,” she said. “We are urban sprawl at its finest,” Mayor Milissa Holland replied. “That’s just the reality of it.” Things might improve, Moehring said, as the county government moves to implement a transportation plan that would add public transit options for people who can’t drive.

The report plotted the national origin of Palm Coast residents from the five countries of national origin most represented locally, with one dot representing one individual. People of Jamaican national origin are represented in orange, Portuguese national origin in green, German national origin in blue, Ukrainian national origin in purple and Philippine national origin in black.

Palm Coast has higher rates of home ownership than the state: 76% of its population is in owner-occupied housing, versus 68% of the state’s. About 50% of Palm Coast’s housing was constructed since 2000. About 24% of the city’s population is over the age of 65, and 90% of households headed by someone over 65 own their own homes. But 34% of households headed by someone over 65 are housing costburdened, with more than 30% of their income going toward housing costs.

SOARING SANTA I got a funny picture this week from Ray Tyner, planning manager for the city of Palm Coast. He wrote in an email: “I often take my 2-yearold daughter Viviana to the Community Center on the weekend – playing outside and going into the center to read or just run around. This weekend she took your paper, sat down and started to ‘read’ it. It was cute so I took a pic with my phone. It wasn’t until I got home that I saw the headline!” Viviana might not have been interested in some of our previous stories about city or county government, but that week, we found a topic every child wants to read about: Santa. Tyner later emailed me to say that his wife’s name is Carey, and they had been married for 25 years before they had Viviana, who is their only child. Congrats!

MAN LEAVES GUN IN BATHROOM, THIEF STEALS IT 2:33 p.m. First block of Red Oak Place. Stolen hand gun: A 66-year-old man went to the bathroom at a local supermarket after doing some shopping, and placed his loaded .45 caliber Sig Sauer handgun on the paper towel box, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. He forgot about the gun and went home, leaving it behind. Later, he realized his mistake and called the store to ask if the gun was still there. A store employee told him it wasn’t. The man called the Sheriff’s Office, and the gun’s information was entered into a database of stolen firearms. DEPUTIES STUN SHOPLIFTER 8:55 p.m. 5100 block of State Road 100. Shoplifting: An employee at a local big-box store was watching the store’s surveillance video when he saw a man grab a cell phone from the store’s electronics section and shove it into the front of his pants. One employee called the Sheriff’s Office and the other followed the thief on foot as the thief walked

out of the store, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. When the employee confronted the thief, the thief held up his shirt, said he hadn’t taken anything, then took off running toward a nearby fast food restaurant. Deputies followed him and saw him drop the phone into the bushes as he ran. He wouldn’t stop when they told him to, and one deputy used a dart-firing stun gun to take him to the ground. They arrested him and found the phone.

DEC. 9

MAN PUNCHES MAILBOXES 1:05 a.m. First block of Braddock Lane. Criminal mischief: A man was standing outside his home when he saw an unfamiliar man walking down the street punching mailboxes, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. The witness yelled at the mailbox-puncher and called the Sheriff’s Office. The mailbox-puncher walked away, and deputies didn’t find him. He’d damaged five mailboxes.

A vacant parcel of land near the intersection of State Road 100 and Colbert Lane may become a multifamily and commercial development with condos or apartments, and Palm Coast is preparing to annex the land into the city. The proposed development would add to the local stock of housing, which has been low, Mayor Millissa Holland said at the City Council’s regular Dec. 13 workshop. “Its pretty alarming; our inventory is low as it is,” she said. “My hope is that we see more types of houses and residential projects coming in, because we desperately need it.” The annexation was requested by Edge Properties LLC, a company which is registered to local attorney Michael Chiumento. Edge Properties owns the 26.71-acre parcel west of Colbert Lane and north of State Road 100, as well as a smaller, 23.04-acre parcel adjacent to the larger one on it east side. The smaller parcel to the east would initially remain unincor-

porated, and Edge Properties has indicated that it would likely request annexation for it at a later date, Palm Coast Senior Planner Jose Papa said at the workshop. Annexation would give the site of the potential development access to city water and sewer, as well as city fire and emergency medical services. The city’s planning staff approved of the annexation, writing in a pre-annexation and economic development agreement, “The city has determined that further high quality development of the property consistent with appropriate protections of natural resources will be of substantial economic benefit to the city and its citizens.” The land is designated high intensity commercial and conservation on Flagler County’s Future Land Use Map, and commercial-2 and agriculture on the county’s official zoning map. The development agreement requires Edge Properties to maintain a buffer of at least 25 feet, with allowances for trails, boardwalks and passive recreation, next to surrounding wetlands. The City Council will hold its formal vote on the proposed annexation at its regular Dec. 20 meeting.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2016

Sheriff’s Office announces top officers The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office celebrated its annual awards luncheon Thursday, Dec. 8, at the Sheriff’s Operations Center, according to a Flagler County Sheriff’s Office news release. Employees, family, friends and guests gathered to eat lunch and honor those who went above and beyond during 2016. The following yearly employee awards recognize employees law enforcement employees, detention staff and civilian staff who already received an Employee of the Quarter award in 2016. LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPUTY OF THE YEAR Detective Dennis Lashbrook has been with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office since 2013, serving previously with the Flagler Beach Police Department. Deputy Lashbrook’s keen observation during an intensive investigation saved a 4-year-old child from an abusive relationship where he suffered traumatic head injuries from the mother’s live-in boyfriend. Lashbrook also discovered during his investigation that the mother and suspect previously attempted to sell the child. The investigation uncovered a horrendous situation where all the children in the household were being abused, prompting removal from the mother’s home and her loss of custody. Det. Lashbrook’s perseverance and seasoned investigating

skills resulted in a child who is now thriving in a new and safe environment, entitling him to receive this Deputy of the Year award. DETENTION DEPUTY OF THE YEAR Deputy Stephen Watkins was tasked with maintaining security and keeping contraband out of the inmate facility during intakes, which he has done multiple times. CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR Communications Specialist Joseph Esposito is being recognized for his strong sense of awareness while working offduty. This awareness is in reference to a missing juvenile that had never shown up in the car rider line at a local school. While at a busy shopping center, specialist Esposito recognized the missing juvenile and immediately reported the contact. This action safely reunited the juvenile and his family. MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD Deputy Jennifer Prevatt and Communications Supervisor Amy Sisti have won this award, presented to any member of the agency or citizen rendering service entailing exceptional courage or bravery. At 3:35 a.m. Dec. 20, 2015, communications received a call about

a pregnant woman who was having contractions and was about to deliver her child at home. Supervisor Sisti was able to guide the family with clear, professional, and informative assistance over the phone until law enforcement and rescue personnel could arrive. While the family was kept calm, Deputy Prevatt assisted the woman in delivering her baby. Flagler County Fire/Rescue arrived and transported the mother and newborn son to Florida Hospital Flagler and both were doing well. Due to the calm, professional demeanor of supervisor Sisti and the quick response of deputy Prevatt, this family was able to experience professional public service at its best. LIFESAVING AWARD Deputy James Gore has been presented with this award, which recognizes a member of

the agency or citizen rendering aid to another, who as a result of their actions thwarts a lifeending event. On Sept. 9, 2016, Gore responded to a medical incident on Old Dixie Highway in reference to a CPR in progress on a male suffering from possible cardiac arrest. Deputy Gore took over the CPR upon his arrival and continued to assist Fire/Rescue personnel with the use of an AED. Two friends of the patient have emailed expressing their appreciation for Deputy Gore’s efforts as a first responder and advised the agency that the afflicted male is recovering well. COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD Deputy Robert Tarczewski served as the liaison to the Special Olympics for the Law Enforcement Torch Run. He also planned and participated in multiple fundraising efforts, including the “Polar Plunge” and “Tip a Cop.” All proceeds went directly to the Special Olympics charity. UNIT CITATION AWARD Sgt. John Bray and deputies Jeffrey Puritis, Jon Freshcorn, Eddie Valazquez, Donnie Brock, Cleo Howe, Shirley Anderson and Scott Wetherhold have all won this award for their professionalism and promotion of safety at the courthouse. A unit citation is also awarded to Cpl. Dave Edmonds and

deputies George Bender, John Castanheira, Nicole Thomas, Frank Barbagallo, Art Horler, Trevor Jacob, James Gore, J. Gibson Smith, Daniel Laverne, Robert Tarczewski, Detective Joseph Costello, Communication Supervisor Amy Sisti and Communication Specialists Danielle Brown, Ashlee Hicks and Jay Aldridge. On July 30, 2016, members of Alpha Red road patrol unit responded to multiple car burglaries in the B-Section of Palm Coast and engaged in multiple foot pursuits with five suspects. Two suspects were immediately apprehended as well as a stolen firearm and stolen property. A perimeter was established, and two additional suspects were located. The fifth suspect was later apprehended nearby at a convenience store. CIVILIAN CERTIFICATE OF MERIT Kevin Miller, a Flagler County resident, located a wallet that contained $3,400 in cash while he was in the TJ Maxx parking lot. Miller never had second thoughts about doing the right thing and turned the wallet over to FCSO who in turn located the owner and returned the wallet. Karen Vogt has been awarded this recognition for assisting an older person who had fallen at home and might not have been discovered for some time.

Palm Coast gets in the holiday spirit with the Starlight Parade The Merry Santa Train was the transportation of choice at the Palm Coast Starlight festival on Saturday, Dec. 10. Children climbed aboard for a leisurely ride to view the holiday lights around Town Center, sometimes with parents walking behind. Tracy Kilgore moved to the area three weeks ago from Wisconsin. While everyone else was bundled up against the “cold,” Kilgore looked pretty comfortable. “I have five kids, and they are playing football over there, waiting for the parade to begin,” Kilgore said. “This is definitely a lot different.”

Santa was on hand accepting Christmas list wishes.

Sen. Bill Nelson announces $31.6 million for beach renourishment A proposal by the Florida Department of Transportation for a seawall could endanger the renourishment project.

Standing in front of the stillclosed Flagler Beach pier amidst a group of local politicians and officials, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson on Dec. 12 announced that the U.S. Senate approved $31.6 million for beach renourishment in Flagler County. “In the bill that passed in the wee hours of Saturday morning, we got the authorization for the beach renourishment project here in Flagler Beach, to restore the dunes, widen the beach, to protect the structures and the road,” Nelson said. Nelson had visited the stormdamaged areas of beach along State Road A1A earlier in the day with Flagler Beach Police Chief Matt Doughney, he said. Nelson has favored beach renourishment — the solution proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers for erosion — rather than the construction of a seawall, the solution proposed by the Florida Department of Transportation to protect S.R. A1A from erosion after Hurricane Matthew washed chunks of the roadway into the ocean. “We need beach renourishment for two reasons,” Nelson said. “First of all, to give the maximum protection to the road. No. 2, to give you all your livelihood, in the tourism industry, so that you’ve got the beach.” The Army Corps is prepared to begin a long-planned renourishment project that would involve extending the dune with sand taken from borrow pits about seven miles offshore and added to the coast every 11 years. But it won’t undertake that project if the state

builds a seawall — as FDOT officials proposed after Hurricane Matthew — because seawalls tend to speed erosion. “Right now, the state of Florida’s got to decide that it would not build a seawall, because the Army Corps of Engineers would not be able to do the beach renourishment if the state of Florida comes in and does a seawall, because that throws their cost-benefit ratio out of whack,” Nelson said. “Clearly, the folks here in Flagler County want that beach renourished, so that they can bring in all of our guests on this beautiful beach. And that is structurally the best way to protect the road — is to have a wider beach, with dunes. That’s what mother nature intended.” Army Corps of Engineers Col. Jason Kirk, Nelson said, proposed that the state fortify the roadway with boulders in the meantime, rather than building a seawall. Flagler County Administrator Craig Coffey said that local opinion on the matter of a seawall versus a renourishment project was mixed, but that more people seem to oppose a seawall. Long term, Coffey said, “Dune replenishment, sand replenishment — I think it could be a lot more cost-effective.” The Army Corps beach renourishment proposal, first released in 2013, would extend the dune seaward 10 feet along a 2.6-mile stretch of beach between South Seventh Street and South 28th Street. If the state decides to support the road temporarily with boulders, Nelson said, “Then we’ll try to speed up the Corps of Engineers project. Now normally, that would take a year, two years. We’ll

BRIEFS Bunnell man sentenced for child pornography Photo by Jonathan Simmons

Jonathan Edwin Canales listens to his attorney during a competency hearing.

Canales ruled competent JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

A man charged with shooting his live-in girlfriend, dumping her in a bathtub to bleed and then telling deputies she’d shot herself has been released from the Flagler County jail on bond and may face trial in February. The victim lived and identified Canales as the shooter. Jonathan Edwin Canales, now 29, had been charged with the Nov. 15, 2014 crime on Dec. 2, 2014, and has spent some of his time since his arrest at the North Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center, a state mental hospital. He was initially found incompetent to stand trial, but the hospital in an assessment in January 2016 wrote that he’d been restored to competency. He was found competent in a competency hearing before Circuit Judge Matthew Foxman Dec. 13. Canales is set for a pretrial hearing at 1:30 p.m. Feb. 8. He is living with his parents in Ormond Beach.

A man convicted of 12 counts of possession of child pornography has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Michael Giachetti, 48, was arrested March 17, 2015, when agents served an early morning search warrant after an Internet Crimes Against Children special agent opened an investigation against him on Sept. 15, 2015. Giachetti told investigators that he’d been downloading child pornography since 2008 “and believes he has become addicted to it,” according to an arrest affidavit. He had been using a file-sharing program called “Sharaza” to search for porn using key-words to find files showing sexual acts involving pre-teen children. Investigators who checked Giachetti’s computer’s desktop at his home in the Palm Terrace mobile home community in Bunnell. The file descriptions for the pornography videos described hardcore sexual acts with children as young as four years old.

graces the Florida Association of Counties 2017 calendar cover, according to a Flagler County government news release. Meeker, 61, represented County Commission District 2. He died in July, and Governor Rick Scott will announce who will fulfill the remainder of his term. “This is bittersweet,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said. “While it is wonderful that he is being honored for one of his passions, it’s also a reminder that there is that big void to try to fill on our commission.” Members of the Florida Association of Counties decided on a theme of flora and fauna for the 2017 calendar contest.“Nearly 1,000 photos were submitted, breaking our previous record of 523,” said FAC communications coordinator Tracy Kusmierz. A total of 15 were chosen for inclusion in the calendar.

Flagler County will host a reception for former Commissioner Barbara Revels from 4 to 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19, in the Commission Chambers of the Government Services Building, at 1769 E. Moody Blvd.“Ms. Revels served on a number of boards and commissions before she was elected to the County Commission, and I would guess this is not the end of her service,” County Administrator Craig Coffey said. “She’s done a lot for the community.”

Revels agrees to Ethics Commission fine of $4,500 Former Flagler County Commissioner Barbara Revels on Dec. 7 signed a settlement agreement with the Florida Commission on Ethics, agreeing to pay $4,500 to settle charges that she failed to accurately disclose her net worth, income and liabilities on financial disclosure forms. The disclosure statements were vague or inaccurate for years 2012, 2013 and 2014, according to the Ethic’s Commission advocate’s written recommendation. Revels filed revised forms, but not all of the revisions were accurate, the report states. The $4,500 total fine consists of three $1,500 fines, one for each year.

FPC beats out crosstown rival Matanzas in a goal-scoring fest

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

lagler Palm Coast led Matanzas 2-1 at halftime, but the Lady Bulldogs would go on to score seven second-half goals to beat the Pirates 9-4 on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at Matanzas. After falling to Matanzas (6-6) in both meetings last season — Matanzas’ only wins against FPC — FPC (10-1-2) ran away with the match, making the statement that the tide had not yet fully turned. “It’s nice to dominate the game,” coach Pete Hald said, “but I would rather win 4-3. We gave up too many goals at the end. We let them hang around, and Miracle (Porter) can score at any given time.” The two will meet again Thursday, Dec. 22, at FPC.

GAME STATS FPC’s Tanagna Payne led all scorers with four goals. Jade Louis-Jeune recorded a hat trick, and Bella Giuliano scored twice. Miracle Porter scored three goals for the Pirates, and Alyssia Paiz scored the other goal. Above: Madi Hald is among the team leaders in both goals and assists this season. Left: Miracle Porter scored three goals in the last 10 minutes of the match.

THE RACE FOR THE RECORD

Miracle Porter has now scored 207 goals for her high school career, putting her just 22 back of Andrea Sellers’ Florida state record (229). Porter currently sits tied for 15th in the history of high school girls soccer, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations. On potentially breaking the record, Porter said, “I would be more than satisfied; that’s a big accomplishment.”

’ve watched girls compete in sports ever since my middle school days. And, for the first time in my life, I’m seeing girls get heckled. It’s weird. After hearing Flagler Palm Coast’s student section taunt Lady Pirate Miracle Porter by chanting her name, while FPC led 7-1 late in the match, it became apparent to me that heckling both genders is the norm for most of the schools I cover. A couple months ago, at the volleyball crosstown match, I remember the Matanzas section seemingly get under FPC’s Kierra Jones’ and other Lady Bulldogs’ skin with their number chants. Growing up, I was always taught to treat girls better than I treated boys. When I played basketball or flag football with girls, I purposefully avoided any physical contact with them, when I would’ve done anything to score on a guy. While at girls’ games, I always cheered, but I never taunted the girls. I only focused on the team I favored, and so did the other supporters on both sides. But, that has changed. I asked Porter how she felt about the heckling, and she said, “I really don’t pay it any mind, when I catch people trying to pull me down by the things they say. I just take it as motivation and shut them up by do what I do — score.” FPC fans were a lot quieter after her three goals. I also remember Matanzas fans leaving Jones alone after she spiked the ball for an FPC point that helped the Bulldogs win that set. She fist pumped while looking back at her hecklers. I love trash talk, as long as it’s not derogatory. And, it doesn’t appear that these girls shy away from the heckling. Like Porter and Jones, it only seems to fuel them, and they make those hecklers regret calling them out. I remember covering my college basketball team — the Trinity Baptist Eagles — a few years ago. They were playing their arch rival Pensacola. The coach’s son starred on the Pensacola team, and our fans heckled him from start to finish. Both teams were tied and expecting to go into overtime, but the coach’s son, who missed every 3-pointer he took, silenced our gym with a long distance buzzer-beater. While I enjoy trash talk, I enjoy that kind of response even better.

Out-of-towners crowd Bunnell for worldwide Spartan Race These participants gave their all D to finish the excruciating course.

Photos by Jeff Dawsey

Ryan Kent finished first overall of all the runners.

escribing Florida Cracker Ranch in Bunnell, where the worldwide Spartan Races were held this past weekend, the company said, “We’ve tested out the terrain at FCR, and we can now say with some certainty that hell is not made of ice or lakes of burning sulphur — it’s made out of mud. There are no hills here — it’s Florida — but don’t think that this course will show you Southern hospitality: what FCR lacks in elevation it makes up for in sticky, soul-crushing, shoestealing swamp.” Thousands of ambitious “spartans” from around the world made Flagler County their home in attempts to conquer various Spartan Races, which comprised of tire drags, rope climbs, wall jumps and many other tough obstacles.

When word reached Lowe’s in Palm Coast, Store Manager Adam Millus and Pro Specialist Tom Delabio decided to donate 10 replacement trees. “When something like this happens that will impact families at

this time of year, it’s the least we can do to step up and do something that can make a difference in someone’s life,” Millus said. He said Lowe’s gives him a lot of freedom to help community causes. Some of the past projects include installing 100 mailboxes in Bunnell, helping with Habitat for Humanity and other smaller projects such as donating supplies for a play or other event. “We lead our teams with purpose, and when you lead with

purpose, it’s about the people, it’s about the community, it’s about being part of something bigger,” Millus said. In addition to Lowe’s helping out, an anonymous donor gave $1,000 to help purchase toys. “It was very heartwarming to see that people stand up and help out when they see a cause that needs help,” said Steve Palmer, president of the firefighters organization. On another day, a woman in line at a store wrote a check for $50 when she heard about the cause. “The community is standing up, saying they’re not going to let a tree Grinch steal Christmas from these kids,” said Charles Burgan, one of the event organizers. “We have a lot more good people than we have negative people.” The Santa Run begins with a parade at 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17, at the corner of Water Oak and Mahogany. It proceeds to County Road 305 and ends at Hollar and Greene, 3258 CR 305. Music, games and free refreshments begin at 6:30 p.m., and each child gets to talk with Santa and receive a present. Other businesses and organizations that make the event possible are Flagler West Community Church, Westside Baptist Church, Fraser’s Mini Storage, Grace Tablernacle Ministries and A&S Hardward.

TEACHERS OF THE YEAR:

MR. AND MRS. DAVIS

This husband-and-wife duo earned top honors at Buddy Taylor Middle and Flagler Palm Coast High schools. Both will be considered for the Flagler County Teacher of the Year. Luckily for the students in Flagler County, R.D. Davis decided to become a teacher instead of a veterinarian. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

His agriculture science classes are about more than farming and animals, the students learn leadership skills, and have to make mini speeches, write, and learn about history. “We cover just about everything they are doing in the rest of the school, and they have to apply it a lot of times in their classes,” he said. Getting up before daylight and home late, Davis and his wife manage to find time to be involved in the community, with a recent fundraiser at Whispering Meadows, the nonprofit with equine assisted programs that work with those with disabilities. They are also involved in the Flagler County Fair and Youth Show, Cracker Day, and the FFA. Davis said he tells his students that he believes his class is one of the most important they will see in the next 30 years. “Our population is 6 billion now, and it’s going to be 9-10 billion in the next 30 years,” he said. “We can’t feed all of the people now; how are we going to do it then? It is going to take this generation to figure that out. “This class is going to get more and more important as time goes on, and I think you are going to see a big change in agriculture land, figuring out ways to grow stuff with less land.”

R.D. Davis might not have never been an agriscience teacher at Buddy Taylor Middle School if it weren’t for his wife, Johanna Davis, agriscience teacher at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Now he has been nominated for Teacher of the Year for the second time in his career, and one of the people he is up against is his wife, with her first nomination. “I didn’t go (to the University of Florida) with the intent to be a teacher at all,” Davis said. “I went for animal sciences major, and I do have degree in that. I was leaning toward becoming a veterinarian, and I took some courses with my wife, and decided I liked it, and here I am 31 years later.” The first five years, he taught in Hillsborough County, the past 26 at Buddy Taylor Middle School. He knows the Flagler area better than most, because he grew up on the west side of Ormond Beach. “I used to fish where BTMS is,” Davis said. “I can remember when this was woods. As a kid we came up here a lot for fishing.” He says the students, and community, is what has kept him here for more than two and a half decades. “You have to love kids if you are going to teach this age group, for sure,” he said. “We’ve got some good kids in this county.” He likes seeing kids when they have that “ah ha” moment and grasp something he is teaching. He talked about the first time he witnessed such a moment, when one of his students grasped parliamentary procedure. “You could see it click in his brain,” he said. “That was 1998, and I still get chill bumps thinking about it to this day. I’ve seen it happen since, but that was the first one.” While Davis grew up with farming and animals, he knows some of his kids have never even planted a vegetable, and said there are “eureka” moments because of the newness of the experience. “They don’t know where the food comes from, and you have to back track to get to it,” he said.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR SERIES The Palm Coast Observer will publish profiles of all of the winners of the Teacher of the Year Award from each school in the Flagler County school district. The Davises are two of the winners, with other stories to follow in the next few weeks, culminating in the Jan. 5 edition. The Flagler County Teacher of the Year will be chosen at a ceremony on Jan. 12.

Johanna Davis has spent 23 years at FPC, and no signs of “graduating” anytime soon. JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

Teaching agriscience is more than a job for FPC teacher Johanna Davis, it’s a lifestyle. Davis, who has been teaching for 23 years, is a graduate of New Smyrna Beach High School and the University of Florida. “I got so much out of the program, I wanted to share it,” Davis said. And share it she did, not only with her students, but with her husband, J.D. Davis, Buddy Taylor’s Teacher of the Year, who attended his first agriculture classes because of his wife-to-be. Davis describes her classes as, “a rigorous split between the classroom and the farm on County Road 13.” “We try to split our time between the two, but when we can’t get out there, I bring animals to school.” Learning isn’t by the book; it’s hands-on, taking care of animals, plants, while learning updated methods and career needs in agriculture.

“We don’t need as many actually on the farm, anymore,” Davis said. “It goes beyond that, and into research, sales and marketing. Next year we will study drones in agriculture for the first time.” She teaches approximately 120 students each semester, and keeps in touch with many, long after they leave FPC. “Seeing kids be successful, watching them grow up — that’s what it’s about,” Davis said. “And I have begun teaching the next generation, the children of my former students.” Itty Bitty, a miniature horse, can often be found grazing in the fenced in area just outside Davis’ classroom door. Other times, you can find goats. Hands-on teaching preparing students for careers. “It helps me bring in real world stuff to the class,” Davis said. “We have worked with Itty Bitty the past four years. It works with students who might be afraid of the larger animals. We ease them into the care of a smaller horse, before working up to a full-size horse.” She is appreciative of her Teacher of the Year Award at FPC. “It’s pretty special,” she said. “It shows that my peers, in my area, respect me and what I do,”

Have pet, will travel – most of the time JACQUE ESTES COMMUNITY EDITOR

How to make sure you and your pet have a happy, and safe, holiday.

Cornelia’s Commercial Corner

is the season to travel, and while some of you will get to your destinations by air, and others by car, what you are doing with your pets is always a concern. A family funeral had us headed to Virginia a couple of weekends ago. Normally when we travel, Kodi and Buddy are in the back seat, but for this trip, a dear friend, once again, agreed to come and stay at my house, so the dogs could stay home while we were gone. At one point, a medical emergency required us to pull off to the side of the road and change drivers unexpectedly. With cars and trucks barreling past, it was something I don’t want to do very often. It wasn’t until later, when we were at our hotel, that I thought about how difficult that would have been if we had to do that maneuver with the

dogs in the back seat. It made me start thinking of options for when our dogs are with us. I encourage everyone to secure their dogs in the car when on the road, but let’s face it: Most cars aren’t large enough to have a medium or large dog in a crate in the back seat, and Kodi has been known to chew through doggie seat belts. So what to do? Insisting your dogs stay in the back seat is the first step to a safe ride. Here are four ideas to keep your dog confined to the back. Doggie seatbelts – There are different styles, see which might work best for you. Back seat barriers – These attach to the front seats and prevent your pup from squeezing over the console and into your lap. My favorite style has an open mesh so your dog can see you. They also have pockets for you to store the leash, water bottle and doggie bags. Doggie carseats – These are booster seats that you buckle your pup into. Soft sided crates - Best for small dogs and cats. Always have your dog’s leash easily accessible. I generally attach their leash from the front seat, so I can easily grab it as I open the back door to let them out. After our adventure, I think I will be getting soft harnesses for the dogs to wear when we are on

the road. These allow the owner something more substantial than a collar (which they can back out of) to hold onto. Use the child lock feature on your doors and back windows. There’s nothing quite like driving 70 mph on I-95 and hearing the back window going down. Little dog paws can get into all sorts of trouble. If you are traveling to a colder climate, especially one with snow, please have a bottle of water and a towel so you can rinse off the pads of their paws. Chemicals used to melt snow and ice off sidewalks and parking lots are harmful to your pet. Direct contact can cause dis-

comfort and your pet may lick their paws and ingest some of the chemicals. Flying with your pet? Many airlines allow small animals, in crates that fit under the seat, on their flights. Please don’t put them in the cargo hold. These are not climate controlled; they are very cold, noisy and scary. If you have to fly, find a good friend, or pet sitter, who is willing to come to your house, or have your animals at their home. Best yet, make it your resolution this year to form a pet sitter circle of friends, where the animals and people all know each other and are ready to help each other out.
