Rezoning sought for U.S. 1 parcel

A property owner is asking Palm Coast to rezone 30 acres of land on the west side of U.S. 1 across from Whiteview Parkway to allow for commercial use.

City records don’t say what the owners might intend to build there. The land, owned by Wam Group Inc., was annexed to Palm Coast from Flagler County and still retains the county’s future land use map designation of “agricultural & timberlands and conservation,” and the county zoning designation of “agriculture.”

The zoning and land use designation changes, if approved, would change the FLUM to the Palm Coast “mixed use and conservation” designation, and the zoning to “high-intensity commercial” and “preservation,” Senior Planner Jose Papa told the City Council Nov. 1.

The changes would allow for commercial growth while conserving the acreage’s wetland. The City Council will vote to approve or deny during an upcoming meeting.

The city’s Planning and Land Development Regulation Board has recommended that the council vote to approve the changes.

Navy aircraft carrier named as ‘sister city’

The USS Gerald R. Ford, an aircraft carrier, has been named a “sister city” of Palm Coast, Mayor David Alfin announced during a City Council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

The proclamation came on the heels of the mayor and City Council proclaiming November as Veterans Appreciation Month. The mayor asked all the veterans in the room to come forward — there were eight, including Councilman Ed Danko — as he read both proclamations.

“This comes as deeply from my heart as you can possibly imagine,” Alfin said.

The city and Flagler County will also be hosting a combined Veterans Day ceremony at 10 a.m. on Nov. 11 at Central Park in Town Center.

Declaring two cities — or in this case, a city and an aircraft carrier — as “sister cities” signifies a longterm relationship between the two loca tions.

“We chose the Navy only because of the invitation and the fact that the Navy ship is a city at sea,” Alfin said. “But this is with respect to every vet

eran from every branch of the service here at the city of Palm Coast.”

The proclamation stated that Palm Coast “consists of the largest con centration of veterans in the coun try, with over 10% of the population being veterans.”

According to the Florida Depart ment of Veterans Affairs, Florida has the third largest veterans’ population in the nation, with 1,492,000 veter ans.

The USS Gerald R. Ford is the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, and departed on its first deployment on Monday, Oct. 3, according to a press release on the United States Navy’s website.

It is the flagship for the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which set sail from Norfolk, Virginia. The strike group’s first operation will include “air, maritime, and ground assets from NATO Allies and partner nations,” according to the website.

Alfin was invited to tour the USS Gerald R. Ford by retired Navy Capt. Randy Stapleford, the military and veteran affairs liaison for the Office of Congressman Michael Waltz. Alfin hand-delivered to the aircraft carrier a key to the city of Palm Coast, along with a proclamation declaring the two as sister cities.

“The military is a pillar of our community,” Alfin said in an article describing his trip on the USS Gerald R. Ford. “And nothing can be more

important than for us to respect, cherish and value those who serve and put their lives on the line for us.”

Alfin wrote that he has never felt prouder to be an American, nor felt more optimism, than when he was standing aboard the carrier.

After the City Council meeting, Alfin said that the feeling of being surrounded by those men and wom en and knowing they were going to carry on the future was inspiring.

“It’s an amazing feeling,” Alfin said.

CITIZENS ACADEMY GRADUATES ITS 52ND CLASS

The graduates of the Palm Coast Cit izen’s Academy’s 52nd class received their certificates of completion at a Nov. 1 City Council meeting.

Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin handed out the certificates to each graduate.

“I attended Citizen’s Academy 10-plus years ago, and I still consid ered it one of the best ways to learn about your community,” Alfin said.

The Palm Coast Citizens Acad emy is a six-week program educat ing residents on city government and departments, according to a press release from the Palm Coast govern ment.

The course is free, but registration is limited to 30 participants per ses sion and is offered twice a year, in the spring and fall.

The Hammock Dunes homeowners association just spent $700,000 to replace the area’s dunes, only to lose them again in Hurricane Ian. But Greg Davis, president of the Hammock Dunes Owners Association, said the problem is not that the community lost the dunes, but that the association can’t get any financial help to maintain them without a county beach management program.

“We are glad we had the engineering study done and were able to mitigate damages,” Davis said. “The dunes worked as designed.”

Property damage was minimized because the new dunes were in place before Hurricane Ian hit, Davis said. After the impact to Fort Myers Beach, Davis said, the community was “painfully aware” of what the damage could be.

“The dunes are a huge asset of Hammock Dunes,” Davis said. The community has a responsibility to maintain them, he added.

The HDOA had paid out of its own reserves to fix its 5-mile stretch of dunes, and will now need to do so again after less than a year. And the association can’t count on aid from state or federal grants, Davis said, without a beach management program, since HDOA is a nonprofit corporation that owns private dunes.

“Flagler County is one of maybe two shorefront communities without a beach management plan,” Davis said. Davis said the HDOA supports the county’s work toward a beach management plan, including taking administrative control of the dunes.

Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin asked all of the veterans at Tuesday’s City Council meeting to stand at the front of the coun cil chambers as he proclaimed November Veterans Appreciation Month.

“As far as we know, [this is] the first time a Florida city — or perhaps any city — has adopted a United States aircraft carrier.”

Tight turns

The 21st-annual Tommy Tant Me morial Surf Classic held Oct. 28-30 in Flagler Beach was more than a surfing competi tion.

It included a Halloween costume party, live music, raffles, seashell painting and the annual memorial paddle-out to honor the memory of Tommy Tant Jr.

The Surf Classic began as a small event to cel ebrate the life of the local surfer: Tant died unex pectedly in 1998 from an aortic aneurysm at age 24. He was unaware he had in

herited Marfan syndrome, a disorder that affects connective tissue.

Event proceeds go to the Tommy Tant Scholarship Fund, local food banks and the Marfan Foundation.

The contests attracted surfers from all of the Southeast and included pro and amateur divisions. Luke Gordon won the men’s pro division. Callie Hertz won the women’s pro division. Complete re sults can be found at live heats.com/events/47534. For more information, go to tommytant.com.

School Board prepares for changeDEP waives seawall restrictions

The agenda workshop was the final meeting for board members Trevor Tucker, Janet McDonald and Jill Woolbright.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Flagler County School Board workshop on Nov. 1 had more seats at the table than normal.

Two incoming board mem bers and the two candidates for the District 2 seat shared the discussion with the five cur rent School Board members.

The workshop on the first Tuesday of each month focuses on the agenda for that month’s business meeting. The Nov. 22 business meeting, however, will have a new board sworn in. Board Chair Trevor Tucker and members Janet McDonald and Jill Woolbright partici pated in their final meeting, as their terms will expire after the Nov. 8 election.

Incoming board members Christy Chong and Sally Hunt were invited to join the work shop along with Courtney VandeBunte and Will Furry, who are contending for the final seat.

“You do learn a lot as you go along.

Ms. Woolbright and I had to learn by the seat of our pants during the pandemic. So don’t panic.”

CHERYL MASSARO to new School Board members

The board members and district staff explained pro cedures to the newcomers.

Patty Wormeck, the dis trict’s chief financial officer, who presented a financial statement and capital expense report that will be on the Nov. 22 consent agenda, told the incoming members that she will be available for a “finance 101 crash course.”

Board member Cheryl Mas saro told the newcomers they shouldn’t worry about infor mation overload.

“You do learn a lot as you go along,” she said. “Ms. Wool bright and I had to learn by the seat of our pants during the pandemic. So don’t panic. This is the hardest job I’ve ever had and the least money I’ve ever made.”

But she added that it’s also one of the most rewarding jobs she’s ever had.

After the workshop, Hunt said it was a great idea to have the incoming members included in the meeting, since they will be voting on those agenda items later this month.

“It was super helpful,” Hunt said. “I was just sharing with Cheryl that had I been sworn in I would have had many more questions, but I really felt it was my place to do more listening today.”

Chong said the workshop was informative.

“I just really appreciate the previous board welcoming us. It was a great learning experi ence, and I think we’re off to a good start,” Chong said. “There’s a lot to learn, so I’m very open. I’ll be doing my research and continuing to follow the agenda.”

At the end of the meeting, School Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt said she’s had “an amazing two years” with the current board and gave each outgoing member a plaque

recognizing their service to Flagler Schools.

Tucker, who has been on the board since 2010, told a story — which he said would be a treat, since he’s known to not talk much. Tucker said that just as three friends will take different routes and modes of transportation to meet at a common location for lunch, so do students require differ ent approaches to learning, and it’s the educator’s job to find the right direction and mode for each student.

“You may have to be that bicycle, that bulldog, that train or ferry, but it’s our job to get them there,” he said.

Massaro thanked Tucker for his operational and economic expertise during his years on the board.

Woolbright, in her closing comment, warned the board about the increasing numbers of home-school students and vouchers subsidizing private education. In the last five years, she said, Flagler Coun ty home-school students increased from 176 to 1,180.

“Vouchers increased for all levels of income. We had $5 million backed out of our budget at the end of last year because of vouchers,” she said. “No matter how you feel about vouchers, they’re here. I suggest the new board take a look at how to be competitive to draw those people back to public schools.”

Woolbright had been a Flagler County teacher for 29 years before running for County Commissioner Andy Dance’s vacated School Board seat in 2020.

“I’ve advocated for children no matter what their walk of life,” she said. “I’m going to still advocate for all children. I won’t have an official title any longer, nor will I seek an official title, but I will be involved.”

Locals who need a permit should apply promptly, Volusia officials said.

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

The state government is waiv ing three requirements that have become obstacles for private property owners seek ing to repair seawalls after Hurricane Ian.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection suspended the requirements through an Oct. 28 Volusiaspecific emergency final order on coastal armoring.

The order removes the pro vision requiring that seawalls be repaired to the original level of protection, waives the determination for eligibility and removes the rule barring permits for seawall projects in areas where a beach nour ishment project is scheduled within nine months, Volu sia County Senior Assistant Attorney Paolo Soria told the Volusia County Council on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Property owners will still need to get a permit from DEP for seawall repairs that would be considered “permanent” by the agency’s standards. Tem porary permits for repairs such as sheet piles not exceeding 4 feet, small bags of sand or sand replacement can be obtained through the county. DEP staff are available to answer ques tions at the county’s building at 440 Beach St. in Daytona Beach.

Soria urged residents to move quickly.

“Contact the DEP immedi ately, get that permit, get that application in, so that they can start the process,” he said.

Because of the risk that nor’easters could bring signif

DEBRIS COLLECTION CONTINUES

Volusia County is aiming to have most hurricane debris collected in unincorporated areas by Nov. 22.

“We’re ramping up,” said Ben Bartlett, Volusia County public works director. “Working as hard as we can, pushing the contractor to get as many trucks in here as we can.”

Bartlett said there are 49 hauling units working throughout the county for debris collection, which began on Oct. 5. The county’s contractor, CrowderGulf, is collecting about 235 loads

icant waves to Volusia Coun ty’s shores, Coastal Division Director Jessica Fentress urged all concerned oceanfront property owners talk to a DEP representative in person. She cautioned people against hir ing contractors and engineers who may not have experience with oceanfront structures.

“We’re looking at a storm event that’s coming this weekend, and you’re going to have 6- to 10-foot waves with 20-mph winds coming out of the east,” she said. “So I urge everybody … go and talk to DEP and see what your options are.”

That’s the most important thing the public can hear now, Council Chair Jeff Brower said.

“It’s critical that they go and have that face-to-face, because we started today with the season for northeaster lies,” he said.

Fentress warned people not to ignore signs stating walk overs are closed. They are structurally unsafe, and some have no support underneath and have 30-foot drop-offs at the end, she said.

per day, which amounts to a daily collection of around 11,250 cubic yards of debris.

Through Oct. 31, CrowderGulf has collected 160,000 cubic yards of vegetative debris and 15,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition debris. Bartlett said the county has opened a management site to help reduce haul times and increase efficiency.

“It’s going to be a steady stream for the next 20, 30 days,” Bartlett said.

Nov. 1 also marked the start of Volusia’s off-season for beach access. The off-season runs through Feb. 1. The coun ty is looking to open 15 beach ramps on weekdays, and 17 on weekends. The plan was not significantly impacted by the storm. Due to the loss of sand and high tides, beach driv ing has been limited to two to four hours a day. Recently, the county reopened the fol lowing areas to beach driving:

„ Granada Boulevard to Mil sap Road, Ormond Beach

„ Harvard Drive, Ormond Beach to University Boule vard, Daytona Beach

„ Seabreeze Boulevard, Day tona Beach

„ International Speedway Boulevard, Daytona Beach to Botefuhr Avenue, Daytona Beach Shores

„ Beach Street, Ponce Inlet

„ Third Avenue to the South Jetty, New Smyrna Beach. Frank Rendon Park in Day tona Beach Shores and Light house Point Park in Ponce Inlet remain closed. For the latest information, download the Volusia Beaches app.

Wanted man arrested after seven-hour search

Flagler County Sheriff’s Of fice deputies arrested a man and a woman after the pair entered Flagler County in a stolen truck, then abandoned it and ran when deputies chased them.

Suspects Jerrod Oats and Jada Wells face multiple charges after the seven-hour pursuit. Oats was a fugitive with 10 arrest warrants from Georgia for charges including armed robbery, kidnapping, sexual battery of a child under 16 years of age and aggra vated assault, according to a press release from the FCSO.

The FCSO was notified of the suspects’ presence when a truck stolen from Georgia entered Flagler County just after 3 p.m., according to an arrest affidavit.

Deputy Seth Green found the truck empty just north of State Road 100, near John Campbell Road.

Deputies scoured the area with a police dog and a heli copter, finding a towel and a knit beanie, but no suspects.

Close to 7 p.m., someone who owns property in the area called the Sheriff’s Office and said they saw a man on a game camera near the truck.

Deputies arrived and found shoe prints going north, to ward a hunting camp on John Campbell Road.

The search began again with a police dog and a helicopter. Deputies tracked Oats to a hunting camp. Oats fled into the woods, but deputies caught him just before 10 p.m. Wells had been caught

earlier, when a woman at a different property called 911 and said that a woman — later identified as Wells — was banging on her door.

“This is another great example of our emergency calling system and the ‘see something, say something’ working,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “A special thank you to the resident for calling us im mediately.”

Man arrested for concealed firearm

A 21-year-old man was ar rested on Oct. 24 for carrying a concealed Glock 19 without a permit.

The young man was ap proached by FCSO Deputy Alton Ogden after the deputy saw him smoking “from a joint-styled item” in the driv er’s side of a vehicle with two other occupants, according to Ogden’s report. The man im mediately dropped the joint when he saw Ogden.

Ogden wrote in the report that he approached the situa tion comically to put the man at ease, saying, “Uh oh, here comes the cops.” The man began apologizing. When Ogden checked the car’s oc cupants’ driver’s licenses, he found that the female driver’s license had been suspended.

Ogden told the three to stand next to his patrol car while the vehicle was searched.

The 21-year-old man, un prompted, said he had a gun in his pocket. He admitted that he did not have a con cealed weapons permit.

The man was arrested on the felony charge.

Deputies tase an inmate attacking with a plunger

An inmate at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility was tased twice by deputies after he attacked them with a broken toilet plunger on Thursday, Oct. 27.

The man, Delray Beach resident Isaac Brevil, was re-arrested on five felony charges after the incident.

Five deputies at the jail were involved. Four were uninjured, and one sustained a fractured elbow, according to a press release.

“I commend our detention deputies for how they handled a very dangerous situation, and thank God the injuries were not any worse,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said.

Brevil got the plunger from a deputy to unclog his cell’s toilet, according to an arrest report, but would not return it and instead broke it in two, creating sharp-ended sticks.

Brevil was initially arrested in September for fleeing a traffic stop and has an open extradition warrant from Palm Beach for carjacking.

Man convicted for armed robbery

At the conclusion of a twoday trial, a Volusia County jury on Wednesday, Oct. 26, found Edgardo Hernandez guilty as charged of principal to rob bery with a firearm.

Hernandez has a history of gun charges, including a pre vious robbery with a firearm.

On May 22, 2021, Her nandez, who was 19 at the time, went along with two other teenagers for the resale transaction of a belt.

Second Strike Team deploys to Fort Myers Beach

A second “Strike Team” of Fla gler County Fire Rescue staff left for Fort Myers Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 25, to relieve the first team.

The second team will undertake the last half of a 10-day operation to staff a Fort Myers Beach fire station, according to a press release from the Flagler County gov ernment.

The first team had departed on Oct. 20 for their five-day stay.

Tucker said the Strike Team in Fort Myers Beach has been dealing with gas leaks, medi cal calls and construction accidents.

“They are starting to bring the power back to the island of Fort Myers Beach, which is when you start to see fires,” Tucker said.

Providers to hold outreach event

391499-1

During the buy in Daytona Beach, Hernandez and a codefendant pointed guns at the victim, ordering him to hand over his belt and wallet and get on the ground. The victim gave the defendants his belt, valued at $400, and his wallet containing more than $100.

Later that night, a Daytona Beach Police Officer found the car involved in the armed robbery and arrested the defendants.

The stolen items and the phone used in the crime were recovered from the car. The Glock used by Hernandez was found dumped nearby.

It had been stolen in Semi nole County shortly before the armed robbery took place.

FPL awards grant to Education Foundation

The funding will support the Ed Foundation’s Flagler Peer Learning project.

OBSERVER STAFF

Florida Power & Light recently awarded more than $10,900 to the Flagler County Education Foun dation as part of FPL’s statewide Empowering STEM (Science, Tech nology, Engineering and Math) Edu cators Program, FPL announced in a news release.

The program’s goal is to train teachers in effective math and sci ence instructional practices that align with Florida standards.

The funding will support the Fla gler Ed Foundation’s Flagler Peer Learning project. As a part of the

program, 10 teacher leaders will facilitate a session in which they share their lesson plans with fourthto eighth-grade math and science teachers.

“High-quality, engaging, stan dards-based instruction is critical for students to build strong foun dations in math and science,” said Mary Chance, president and CEO of the Consortium of Florida Edu cation Foundations. “Through this program, we are grateful to provide our teachers with a valuable learning opportunity that will benefit both their professional development and the education of students across Fla gler County schools.”

FPL is partnering with the Con sortium to bring the educators pro gram to school districts around the state. The Consortium and FPL developed this program specifically for math and science teachers.

“We know that when you invest in teacher development, you are also investing in every student they will instruct and inspire for many years to come,” said Sarah Marmion, edu cation and outreach centers man ager for FPL. “Supporting our local students and educators’ education helps better prepare tomorrow’s leaders and innovators while also making Florida an even better place to live, work and raise a family.”  Including Flagler County, FPL is awarding a total of $131,000 to 11 local education foundations across the state.

As part of a continued commit ment to STEM education, FPL and the NextEra Energy Foundation will also award up to five Florida schools a $50,000 classroom makeover grant to improve technology, equipment and resources.

BRIEFS

Volusia school staff honored for hurricane recovery efforts

Clad in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, employees of Volusia County Schools’ facilities, maintenance and operations departments were recognized by the School Board on Oct. 25 for their efforts in helping Lee County recover from Hurricane Ian.

VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said she had received an email Oct. 11 from Department of Education Senior Chancellor Jacob Oliva, who wrote that Lee County schools needed support recovering from Ian.

Seventeen VCS employees quickly volunteered to be deployed to help, starting on Oct. 12.

The employees have 126 years of cumulative experience with VCS, and they spent 2,456 hours serving about 20 schools, doing debris

removal, water filter changes, ceiling tile replacements, HVAC repairs and other projects, according to the VCS Facebook page. The employees returned to Volusia County on Oct. 17.

“There were no hotels for them to stay at, so they took their own cots and they just got comfortable, I guess, at the Educational Leadership Center there,” Balgobin said at the School Board meeting. “But it really shows you the heart, the camaraderie.”

VCS Chief Operating Officer Earl Johnson said that when they asked for volunteers for this recovery effort, the district had to turn some volunteers away.

The employees that participated in the effort were: Dustin Andrews, David Battistone, Darmin Baysinger, Shawn Capman, William DeRosier, Derrick Dillard, Richard Dominy, Sean Gilbert, Jared Gross, Garrett Holcombe, Garrett Kennedy, Alec McCaskill, Tyler Purnell, Morgan Pull, Hector Rodriguez, Steve Taylor and Joel Williams.

Flagler Cares awards initial Flagler Catalyst Fund grants

Easterseals, Grace Community Food Pantry and Salty Family Services received a combined $800,000 in grants.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The inaugural Flagler Catalyst Fund awards took shape on Oct. 26 in the form of three oversized checks.

The Catalyst Fund is part of Dr. Stephen Bickel’s donation of $10 million over the next 10 years to Fla gler Cares to drive the organization’s mission to fill in the gaps for com munity health and social services in Flagler County.

Flagler Cares presented the checks to three community organizations at its first Flagler Catalyst Fund awards ceremony at its offices in City Mar ket Place.

Easterseals Northeast Central Florida received the fund’s first Innovation Grant, which will provide it with $750,000 over the next three years. The money will fund the Me In Progress wellness program, which will provide counseling and alterna tive therapies, including music and art therapy, for teens.

“This is really a dream for us,” said Susan B. Moor, the local Easterseals’ vice president of philanthropy. “When our partners in counseling, when our physicians, when our psy chologists, when our therapists who see and treat 5,000 children a year, tell us there’s a void, we need to be there for these children.

“These kids don’t fit a clean mod el,” she said. “They are high per forming and (appear to be) doing great, but they are not thriving at home, they are not thriving in their friendships and relationships. They are not thriving in their own hearts. We listen to the kids and make sure what we’re designing fits what they’re telling us.”

Salty Family Services and Grace Community Food Pantry each received a one-time $25,000 Growth

FLAGLER CATALYST FUND GRANTS

Innovation Grant ($750,000 over three years): Easterseals of Northeast Central Florida, to help fund the Me In Progress teen wellness program in Flagler County.

Growth Grant ($25,000): Grace Community Food Pantry, to help buy a refrigerated food truck.

Growth Grant ($25,000): Salty Family Services, to fund a part-time employee who will provide mentoring to families at risk of having a DCF investigation.

Grant.

Jeff Chaisson started Salty Family Services in Volusia County with his wife, Frances, to help at-risk fami lies whose children are in danger of entering the foster care system. They have been trying to expand into Fla gler County, but volunteers would come and go, Jeff Chaisson said.

With the Catalyst Fund grant, the Chaissons hired their first employ ee, Carol Brown, who will work with families in Flagler.

Grace Community Food Pantry used the grant to help buy a $64,000 refrigerated truck to expand its capacity for perishable food storage and distribution.

“It’s made a difference for the labor intensive part of the pantry,” said Pastor Charles Silano, the organiza tion’s chairman. “We’re able to sort better, we’re able to store more food, we’re able to purchase more food and we’re able to deliver it safely. It’s like having another walk-in cooler. The volunteers love it. It’s made a humongous difference, especially in the hot summer months when the work is really hard.”

The pantry serves nutritious meals to approximately 400 to 500 indi viduals weekly.

‘THIS IS THE START’

Several community leaders attend ed the awards ceremony, includ ing Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin and council members Nick Klufas and John Fanelli and School Board members Cheryl Massaro and Col leen Conklin.

DJ Lebo, president of the Flagler Cares board of directors, said the nonprofit, established in 2014, was the brainchild of AdventHealth, the Florida Department of Health-Fla gler County and fellow board mem bers Bickel and Barbara Revels.

“They got together and started thinking, ‘We have some gaps in our health outcomes in Flagler County, and what can we do to make chang es?’” Lebo said. “They said, ‘We can’t do this alone. We’ve got to get someone on board to help us on a regular basis.’ So they got Carrie Baird.”

Baird, Flagler Cares’ executive officer, moved the agency forward, Lebo said. Flagler Cares provides community organizations with

hands-on support and administers its own programs. Through Baird’s efforts and now Bickel’s donation, Flagler Cares has grown from an informal group of people to a staff of 14, with 15 on the board of directors.

Bickel, who has always been pas sionate about the organization, had typically made donations, and some times deposits directly into the orga nization’s bank account, Baird said.

“I always tried not to accept Steve’s money,” Baird said. “It was nice if we wanted to do something and there wasn’t funds for it, he was there. But I thought it was my job to find resources from other places.”

But she said she never expected to get that phone call last fall from Bickel, telling her he was going to help expand the organization and its footprint on the county by donat ing $1 million a year for 10 years, which would then be followed by an endowment.

Bickel said he chose Flagler Cares for such a large donation because of Baird’s track record. Moor said Fla

gler Cares is not just an investor, it will be a partner, helping with plan ning, providing advice and introduc ing Easterseals to other community partners.

Jeannette Simons, Flagler Cares’ chief innovation officer, said the next round of Flagler Catalyst Fund awards will be announced in spring of 2023. She said Flagler Cares keeps track of the programs it supports and how the grant money impacts the community.

Bickel was hopeful.

“If you want to do philanthropy, you want to invest in people that you really think can carry your mis sion out,” Bickel said. “And from the beginning, Carrie has attracted tal ented people because of who she is. They’ve always kept a growth trajec tory. It makes me feel confident that something good is going to happen in Palm Coast, and so far it’s happen ing in spades. It’s also a testament to Flagler County and the talented people that we have here. We want to make a difference. This is not the end, this is the start.”

MY VIEW

Dirty politics 101: The Will Furry campaign mailer

last week, I congratulated the candidates for running good, clean races. But then the Will Furry mail er hit the streets.

Unless you’re registered as a Republican, you may not have seen the mailer I am referring to. But it was dirty politics 101. Shameful.

The mailer was sent last week, misleadingly designed to look like it was from School Board candi date Courtney VandeBunte’s camp and pitting VandeBunte against Gov. Ron DeSantis and his social values crusade.

his campaign partially funded, by a PAC with supporters tied to our governor. And this support comes to Furry just for signing a pledge card.

Once again, as a community, we are not in control of our political destiny. Apparently if you sell your soul to the right people, they will fund your campaign.

Think about it. Who thought Courtney VandeBunte would be running for Flagler County School Board against Gov. DeSantis? I know she didn’t. I didn’t, either.

ing messaging. I doubt he was even aware that the hit job on Vande Bunte was in the works. (And if he was, shame on him.)

But worse, now this campaign goes beyond our local education issues and puts us right in the middle of a potential presidential campaign focusing on social issues. This is not fair to the voters of Fla gler County.

JOHN WALSH PUBLISHER

I am not sure if this should be a retraction, or if I just spoke too soon: In my endorsements

The claims in the mailer made it seem that VandeBunte was running against the governor himself. The reality is that she is running against just Will Furry, her opponent for the District 2 School Board seat.

How lucky for a first-time politi cian like Furry to be adopted, and

Perhaps we can not fault Furry for the bombastic mailer sent to Republican voters from a dark mon ey PAC portraying conflicts between VandeBunte and DeSantis.

It is a state statute that no can didate, nor his campaign, may be involved with any PAC electioneer

So, Flagler County voters — Republicans, Democrats and NPAs — know this: Voting for Court ney VandeBunte is a vote for the best person to serve on our School Board, not a vote against Gov. DeSantis. You can still vote for DeSantis for governor in his own race.

Vote for Courtney and our chil dren’s education!

School Board campaign mailer was deceitful

Candidate Courtney VandeBunte writes that a recent mailer misrepresented her positions.

The one I am referring to fea tures a picture of me, used without my permission, along with a big “Thank You, Courtney Vande Bunte.” This implies that whoever is responsible for sending this mailer is a supporter of mine, but that could not be further from the truth.

The mailer goes on to suggest that I am against parents, pro-CRT and pro-sexualization of our youth, which, again, could not be further from the truth.

and etiquette. The only chance he has at winning an election for which he is clearly unqualified, in stark contrast to my bachelor’s degree in education and 10 years of various education experience, is through deceiving the voters of Flagler County.

I did not send, or approve of, that mailer. I would never have approved of anything that says I am antiparent.

I have always advocated for the teaching of the Florida Sunshine State Standards, and now the BEST Standards, approved by our gover nor.

COURTNEY VANDEBUNTE CANDIDATE, FLAGLER COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD DISTRICT 2

Dear Flagler voters:

Some of you may have received a mailer about my campaign over this past week. While all of the mailers sent out on behalf of my opponent, Will Furry, are grossly misleading, one is particularly deceitful.

The truth is, this mailer was paid for by a political action commit tee (PAC) called “Flagler Forever,” which is linked to the address: 1103 Hays St., Tallahassee. This address appears not only on Will Furry’s contributions, but also with several conservative PACs.

So why would a conservative PAC, which has given money to Will Furry, be thanking me, an “antiparent, dangerous liberal”?

The answer is deceit.

Will Furry is unqualified. He is lacking in education, experience

the half-cent for Flagler Schools, because it provided all the things that impressed me on that tour:

I support the rights of all par ents and families and invite their involvement in their child’s educa tion.

I’ve seen firsthand, as a teacher and as a parent myself, how imper ative parental support is for student success.

I want MORE choices for parents, not fewer.

As for CRT and the instruction of inappropriate topics, such as sex, I’ve NEVER condoned that, either as a Flagler Schools teacher or as a parent of three Flagler Schools students.

Schools graduates to be as prepared as possible for the future workforce.

For any topics that may be sensi tive, such as puberty or the repro ductive system, I encourage all parents and families to participate in the district viewing sessions for what specifically is taught, so they can then CHOOSE whether or not to opt their child out of certain cur ricula.

The future for our students is on the ballot, right now. If we elect Will Furry, we are signing on for four years of inexperience, lies, misinformation, and, most impor tantly, decisions that do not reflect the needs of ALL students and families.

If the citizens of Flagler County choose to elect me, they will get a School Board member with mean ingful experience in education who is humble, honest, and who will support all students and families.

TO ADVERTISE Call the office at 386-447-9723.

Do your homework for School Board seat election

Dear Editor:

Sixteen-thousand (13,000 stu dents and 3,000 staff and educa tors) of your neighbors, friends, children and grandchildren are counting on our community to make an informed decision in the nonpartisan School Board election on Nov. 8.

Tens of thousands of dollars of outside funding are flooding into our community to explicitly misin form voters.

The PACS are at full throttle to attack a respected and decorated educator in order to get a culture warrior elected based on nothing more than his party affiliation.

If the basis of your “informed decision” is a mailer you got or a TV commercial you saw in the last 10 days, by all means vote, but just don’t vote the School Board race — just leave it blank, like that incomprehensible amendment or that vote for the judge whose name you’ve never seen.

Just don’t.

Our community, our 3,000 neighbors and friends and 13,000 of our kids and grandkids, deserve a well-informed and thoughtful vote.

Renew the half-cent tax for our schools

Dear Editor:

Flagler Schools is asking vot ers to renew the half-cent tax for our schools for 10 more years. Our schools deserve your vote to continue this vital piece of Flagler County’s economy and basis for our high quality of life.

A year ago, my family moved here based on a school tour that I took in 2018.

After we moved here, I agreed to chair the campaign to renew

 $80 million over 10 years to the local economy, because the sales tax dollars remain local and only provide for Flagler Schools’ capital needs.

Workforce-ready graduates are realized due to the Classroom to Careers programs.

 Higher property values due to quality schools: The 1:1 devices provide individualized educational services to all students in Flagler County. Our students have the tools to reach their excellence.

 School safety concerns are alle viated. We have the resources and capability of maintaining a qual ity system that connects our first responders with our schools.

 All this is provided by a halfcent sales tax, which means 40% of this tax is paid by non-Flagler County residents. Find out more at flaglerschools.com/vote and half centforflaglerschools.com.

My favorite quote on the cam paign trail has been, “You would be foolish not to vote to continue [the half-cent tax for Flagler Schools]. Taxpayers will pay for our kids one way or another. Better this continue than other taxes go up because we failed to recognize what we have.”

One of Flagler Schools’ guiding principles is, “children first.”

I ask you to flip your ballot over, go to the last item, and vote our children first by continuing the half-cent for Flagler Schools.

KHANH-LIEN R. BANKO Palm Coast

Chamber backs half-cent tax renewal for schools

Dear Editor:

The Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors recently voted to support the half-cent sales tax for Flagler Schools ballot initiative. We urge local voters to do the same.

The business community gets the result of our local education system, and we want future Flagler

It’s worth noting that this is not a new tax; it’s a continuation of an already existing sales tax, which has significantly benefited our local students.

As the father of a fifth grader, I have seen firsthand the benefits of the investments in technology at Flagler Schools using the existing sales tax funding.

Looking ahead, Flagler Schools has crafted a well-thought-out plan on administering the funding, if Flagler County voters approve the ballot measure.

As school safety continues to be at the forefront of parents’ minds, it’s comforting to know that future half-cent sales tax funding will be used to strengthen school safety and security.

Approximately $80 million will be raised via the half-cent sales tax over the next 10 years. This fund ing will provide the school district and teachers the tools they need to provide high quality education to our children.

The sales tax is also paid by tour ists and snowbirds, which reduces the burden of school facilities on our local taxpayers.

If voters decline the half-cent sales tax for Flagler Schools ballot initiative, it will have a devastat ing effect on our local education system.

With some local education per formance metrics declining, now is NOT the time to be cheap. The business community supports con tinuing to invest in Flagler Schools, and you should too.

What to look for in School Board candidates

Dear Editor: Thank you for your paper’s rec ommendations regarding the local elections. Even if I do not agree,

your statements are well-reasoned, with no bias bubbling out between the lines. Very refreshing and appreciated.

There is a point regarding the School Board candidates that may seem counterintuitive, but bears consideration.

Educational experience is the least important criteria for a board member. In fact, it is the greatest asset that a school system has in abundance. Many excellent teach ers have graduate degrees and expertise that can and should be sought out for their input.

A board member should be one with financial literacy and the humility to seek input of educa tors on their needs and the sys tem’s shortcomings.

They should have a clear vision and understand that while much is demanded from our public schools, the number one purpose for the system to exist is academics. A board member should be a shep herd leader.

The finances in most school sys tems are a mess.

Transparency is not a buzz word, but the only solution. Income and expenditures should be posted for all the public to see, monthly and annually.

Angler’s pompano ties Georgia record

Cathy Sanders caught a 1 pound, 7.68 ounce pompano to tie a 40-year-old women’s record in Georgia.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

When Cathy Sanders caught a Florida pompano during a redfish tournament on St. Simons Island, Georgia, she considered eating it. She’s glad she didn’t. It turned out to be a record fish in Georgia.

“All the Georgia people were like, ‘Whoa, we don’t catch those here. We don’t get them that big,’” said Sanders, of Palm Coast. “I just didn’t think too much of it because for Florida, it was not a very big pompano. It was like just barely keeper size for here.”

Instead of bringing it home and eating it, she labeled it and put it in her freezer and looked up the women’s record for Florida pompano in Georgia, which was 1 pound, 7 ounc es by Laura Cheek in 1982. Sanders’ pompano measured 12 inches from the fork in the tail to the snout and weighed 1 pound, 7.68 ounces. Under the rules set by the Georgia Saltwater Game Fish Records Program, any fish exceeding a record by less than four ounc es qualifies as a tie.

So Sanders’ Florida pompa no, which would be one inch longer than the minimum keeper length in Florida, tied a 40-year-old women’s record in Georgia.

Sanders is the first recipient of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ newly designed state record certifi cate, which features an image of the record-setting species, a gold-color embossed state seal, and signatures from the

governor, commissioner of DNR and director of DNR’s Coastal Resources Division.

Sanders, who caught the fish on Oct. 9, received her certificate on Oct. 24. It was her first record catch.

She was surf fishing in a redfish tournament benefit ing the Kids Can Fish Foun dation. Her husband, Andy, was a volunteer judge for the tournament. Hardly anybody was catching redfish, she said.

“There were 177 people fishing, and maybe 20 to 25 people caught redfish in the whole tournament,” Sanders said. “When I wasn’t catching redfish, I started baiting for my friend who lives up in that area in Georgia. He said they catch whiting there all the time, which the redfish love to eat. So I said, ‘Let’s catch some whiting then.’ So I took

one of my lines — we were only allowed two lines in the water — and started baiting it for whiting. I brought my own salted shrimp and Fish bites and stuff. So, I started throwing that out and we started catching whiting left and right.”

The next day was the same. Sanders caught more whit ing for fresh bait for when the redfish would show up. And then all of a sudden, she had a pompano on her line.

“I think right before that I had a pompano on the line too, because my line went slack, which, if you fish down here, you know if your line goes slack you’ve got a pom pano. And then it popped off, which happens all the time with pompano in the wash

Local boy places fourth in tournament

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Palm Coast’s Liam Sugden, 11, caught a 37-inch redfish on Oct. 9, at the Kids Can Fish Founda tion redfish tournament on St. Simons Island, Georgia.

Liam placed fourth in the tournament’s youth division. He was reeling in a 40-pound stingray for 10 minutes when his other rod got a hard bite and he knew that it was a red fish, his mother, Christine Mullen, said.

Liam’s friend, Cullin, helped keep the rod tip up as Liam reeled in the fish, Mullen said. It was Liam’s biggest catch and his first tournament. He’s usually targeting pompano on Flagler County’s beaches, she added.

Record fish caught

and when the waves are com ing up to the shore. It popped off my line, so I threw it back out, and that’s when I caught the record pompano.”

Sanders moved to Flagler County in 2020 from Cen tral New York, where she did freshwater fishing in the Erie Canal and the Thousand Islands area in the St. Law rence River.

“It was more of a hobby that I did every once in a while,” she said. “When we moved down here I saw people fishing on the beach, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah.’”

Late last year, she started

her own business, Fishin’ Girl, where she does surf fishing charters, teaching people how to fish on the beach. And she started an online community for women who love to fish. Her website is fishingirl.com.

The Georgia record pompa no is her best catch ever, she said, because it is record fish and was very unexpected.

“I posted it on my YouTube channel and I was laughing a lot, because none of the locals knew the regulations (for minimum length), and we’re sitting there looking it up, and they’re like, ‘They don’t catch these things here,’” she said. “So it’s just kind of fun to be able to catch something in a place where you know

they don’t really see that type of fish — not at that size, at least.”

Fa-boo-lous

Dinosaurs, pirates, Mandalorians and more showed up at Parkview Church for another successful Halloween trunk-or-treat event this year.

Families began lining up outside the church’s parking lot before the annual event began at 6 p.m., with kids and parents alike dressed in costumes.

And it wasn’t just the trick-ortreaters who dressed up: Volunteers decked out their trunks to match. Parkview’s parking lot was filled with several pirate ships, minions and Disney characters — and even the Grinch stopped by to throw candy at the kids.

The church, at 5435 Belle Terre Parkway, blocked off access from Belle Terre, directing vehicles to enter through the Indian Trails Sports Complex.

TEACHING JUNIOR TO FLY Palm Coast artist Dave Bowers’ exhibition, ti tled “Dream Weaving,” opened at Jane’s Arts Center on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

And it’s all about sur realism — an art form that depicts some times unnerving, illogi cal scenes rooted in the subconscious. Bowers, president of the Flagler Beach Photography Club, has been explor ing surrealism.

His piece “Teaching Junior to Fly” is an ex ample of what he has produced.

“I most enjoy us ing my photographic skills as my medium to express, engage and educate,” Bowers said in his artist’s bio. “Pho tography is indeed an art form, for it tells a story for others to in terpret.”

Jane’s Arts Center is located at 199 Down ing St. in New Smyrna Beach. An opening re ception is scheduled for 4-7 p.m. on Satur day, Nov. 5.

PAINTED SKY Christophe Hanckowiak loves capturing the serenity and beauty of nature while engaging people to dive into their emotions and live in the moment, according to his artist statement. A native of France, he moved to the U.S. in 1995 and is a landscape, seascape, abstract and sports photographer.

“Photography is a very relatable art medium,” the statement reads. “It mirrors our reality while also drawing on our emotions. ... It invites everyone

to come up with their own interpretation of it. It asks compelling questions and moves us in a way that is both individual because of our distinct sensitivities and universal because of our shared human connection.”

For the second week in a row, Matan zas junior Jordan Mills stood on the sideline dressed in street clothes. It was no consolation that he had plen ty of company.

Eleven players slated to start before the season were out with injuries on the Pirates’ Senior Night as Matan zas fell to Menendez 18-6 on Oct. 28.

“It’s tough not being able to play,” Mills said. “But I know that (my teammates are) doing the best they can, and a lot of people are stepping up, and they’re doing a good job.”

Matanzas is now 4-6 after receiving a forfeit from FPC, which played an ineligible player in four games due to a miscalculation of the player’s GPA.

The Pirates have been without starting quarterback Dakwon Evans since he fractured his collarbone in the third game of the season. Line backer Dayd Peterson was injured in the same game.

Defensive tackle Amir Tariq and center Ahmad Louis-Charles missed the Pirates’ final home game with recent injuries. Lineman Peyton Ellis left the Menendez game with an injury.

“A lot of teams can’t sustain inju ries the way we’ve been able to,” Matanzas coach Matt Forrest said. “We were never overmatched to the point where we backed down from anybody. That’s something our kids need to be praised for, and so does our coaching staff. They’ve done a great job in developing guys.”

Mills suffered a shoulder injury in practice on Oct. 20. He said he should be back by the end of November, in time for wrestling season. Evans is slated to start rehab next week and should be ready to re-join the boys weightlifting team in January or Feb ruary, Forrest said.

The Pirates trailed Menendez 6-0 at the half. Senior Aiden Langford, normally a defensive back, caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Jack son Lundahl early in the fourth quar ter to bring the Pirates back to within a touchdown at 12-6.

“They finally put me at receiver,” Langford said. “I’ve been asking to be a receiver all season. I showed them what I can do. It felt good, too, because that’s my first touchdown of the season. I’m thankful for this team, thankful for these coaches. I’m just glad that they’re here for me.”

Swimmer Lucy Noble thrives on competition

Lucy Noble has never backed down from a challenge.

That’s why the Flagler Palm Coast swimmer will be competing in the 100-yard backstroke at the Class 4A state championships on Nov. 5 in Stuart.

Noble, who specializes in the free style sprint events, will also swim in the 50-yard freestyle in her final high school state meet. Last year, she fin ished 13th in 50 free and was 17th in 100 free at state. But at the beginning of this season, when it came time to pick her two events, Noble picked the backstroke over the 100 free.

Croquet club competes in Friendship Cup

Four members of the Grand Haven Croquet Club traveled to Chesapeake Bay, Virginia to compete in an international golf croquet tournament on Oct. 20-23.

Dorothy Silliman placed second in the first flight among 40 women competing in the Women’s International Friendship Cup Golf Croquet Tournament, hosted by the Chesapeake Bay Croquet Club.

Also competing with Silliman from the Grand Haven club were Kathie Gamble, Mijai Pagano and Nancy Crouch.

“She’s so versatile, she can swim all four strokes well,” FPC coach Tom Gillin said.

In fact, she owns the Bulldogs’ school records in the 100-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard but terfly. Gillin believes her future in college — she will swim at Eastern Michigan University next year — is the individual medley.

The 100 backstroke was not really on her radar until she lost a close race to DeLand’s Anna Monette in a dual meet last year. Monette was the top backstroker in the area. Monette beat Noble under water on the turns. Instead of moving on and concen trating on her regular events, Noble studied film of the race.

At the Five Star Conference meet, she said she wanted to swim in the 100 back to get another shot at Monette. This time, Noble won the event, reversing the tables on Monette.

“Lucy beat her under water. It was an exciting race,” Gillin said. “She

was really motivated to work her walls better. I think that gave her the confidence that the backstroke can be one of her best events.”

Noble is the only FPC swimmer to qualify for state this year. She finished third in the 100 back and fourth in the 50 free at the Region 1-4A meet on Oct. 29. She enters state seeded ninth in 50 free with a time 24.14 seconds and 12th in the backstroke at 58.57 seconds.

She is in the mix to reach the A finals (top eight in preliminaries) in both events.

“She wants to break 24 (in the 50 free),” Gillin said. “She’s one of those swimmers that doesn’t seem to get nervous. She enjoys the competi tion.”

Indeed, at state last year she tied for 17th in preliminaries in the 100 free with Creekside’s Kylie White. No. 17 in the alternate to get into the B final in the unlikely event that one of the swimmers drops out. Noble and White were given the option of a coin flip or a swim-off to decide the alternate spot.

“Lucy said, ‘Let’s swim off.’ She swam about a second and a half fast er than her prelim time a half hour earlier,” Gillin said. “She just races whoever’s next to her. She’s the same way in lifeguard competitions. She’s always someone you like to put at the end of a relay.

“She’s a diamond in the rough. The next four years, she’s going to keep dropping her times. I don’t know if the Eastern Michigan coach knows what he’s getting.”

Flagler Bulldogs Youth Football teams advance

Two Flagler Bulldogs Youth Football teams won their divisions at the Mid Florida Football and Cheerleading Conference District Championship on Oct. 30 in Winter Haven.

The Flagler Bulldogs 8U team defeated the Winter Haven Wolverines 14-13. The Flagler Bulldogs 12U team won 35-0.

Both teams will advance in the playoffs. Their next games will be on Sunday, Nov. 6, in Winter Haven against the North Tampa Uptown Eagles.

The Flagler Bulldogs 6U team has also advanced and will play the Tampa Ravens on Nov. 6 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.

The Bulldogs’ 10U also had a successful season, but lost in the first round to the Wolverines.

Ricshay Nelson, the Flagler Bulldogs president, and Ashley Perkins, the head administrator, said the teams would not be successful without the support of the coaches, team moms and parents.

FPC boys cross country team eyes strong finish

The Bulldogs have advanced to state as a team for the first time since 2014.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Flagler Palm Coast’s boys cross country team is back.

For the first time since 2014, the Bulldogs have qualified as a team for the state championships.

FPC will be competing in the Class 4A race Saturday, Nov. 5, at Apalachee Regional Park in Talla hassee.

“The kids are excited,” FPC coach Dave Halliday said. “It’s kind of been a rebuilding process since the pan demic. In 2020 we didn’t make it out of district, but we had a whole bunch of freshmen and sophomores, and those kids are on the cusp of definitely finishing in the top 15. But they’re shooting for top 10 in 4A, which is the best of the best.”

The Bulldogs placed sixth in the toughest region in the state on Oct. 29. Four of the five teams that fin ished ahead of them placed among the top 10 at state last year.

Earlier this season, FPC finished second at the Spikes and Spurs Clas sic and won three events, including the Five Star Conference champion ship. The key to the Bulldogs’ suc cess this season has been their depth.

Sophomore Braedyn Wormeck was the Bulldogs’ top runner early in the season, but he has been out since undergoing an appendectomy in late September. He has returned to prac tice and could run at the state meet, Halliday said. While he was out, the team rallied behind him.

“It was kind of the turning point for the team,” Halliday said. “When that happened, everyone knew they had to step up. The boys are all very close. They wanted to step up for him.”

Junior Justin Gilliam led the Bull dogs with a personal record time of 16:22.9 to finish 16th overall at the

Region 1-4A meet in Gainesville.

Four other Bulldogs finished in 17:15 or under — Hayden Herndon (28th, 16:44.0), Barak Olago (34th, 16:50.6), Brandon Kalasnik (47th, 17:01.8) and Peyton Woodward (59th, 17:15.0).

Every race for Gilliam is a triumph.

Shortly before school started last year, he was hit by a car while he was running on his own. He rolled over the car’s hood and suffered a broken arm. Four weeks later, he ran in a meet.

“He was shaken,” Halliday said. “It definitely hit his psyche. When they get a challenge, you have to show them there’s an opportunity coming out of that challenge. It’s a big story for him to overcome that. It’s been fun seeing him grow.”

The FPC program has overcome its own challenges. Under former coach Peter Hopfe, the Bulldogs won boys

cross country state championships in 2001 and 2002 and were runnersup in 2003. They added a third state championship in 2005 and a runnerup finish the following year under Halliday, who is now in his 19th year with the program.

But in the past 10 years, just get ting out of their district and region have been tough. They finished ninth at state in 2012 and 12th in 2014. In 2015, Justin Pacifico was the indi vidual state runner-up.

This team’s strength this year is that it has no standouts.

“We have four guys who have been No. 1 at one point,” Halliday said. “They understand that it’s not about the individual, it’s about the team. If one beats the other, and you both run your best time, that’s OK.”

MATANZAS, SEABREEZE BOYS AND GIRLS QUALIFY

The Matanzas boys and girls teams, the Seabreeze boys and girls teams and the Father Lopez boys team also qualified for the state champion ships in Tallahassee.

Matanzas and Seabreeze will be

competing in the Class 3A races, while Lopez will run in the Class 1A race.

The Pirates’ girls team finished seventh and boys were eighth at the Region 1-3A meet. Nina Rodriguez led the Matanzas girls with a 23rdplace finish in a time of 20:32.6. Sierra Howard was 35th in 21:23.9. Christian Norfolk (41st, 17:40) and Blaine Vogel (47th, 17:53.3) led the Matanzas boys.

The Seabreeze boys team finished seventh and the girls team was eighth at the Region 2-3A meet. Three Seabreeze girls finished among the top 15: Mackenzie Roy (10th, 20:33), Ariana Roy (11th, 20:34) and Nick ole Dane (13th, 20:43). Tyler Lewis (28th, 18:12) and Hunter Shuler (34th, 18:29) led the Seabreeze boys.

The Father Lopez boys fin ished second at the Region 2-1A race with brothers Andrew Gazzoli (fifth, 16:54.8) and Matthew Gaz zoli (eighth, 17:03.7) leading the way.

Talon Spires was 12th in 17:23.5.

FPC’s girls did not advance with a 12th-place finish at region. Cassidy De Young led the Bulldogs with a time of 20:29 to finish 35th. Arianna Slaughter was 40th in 20:36.2.

Matanzas football

SENIOR SEND-OFF

Flagler Palm Coast High School has forfeited four of its football games this season because of an academically ineligible player.

FPC Principal Bobby Bossardet said the school had miscalculated the player’s grade point average and self-reported the error to the Florida High School Athletic Association on Sept. 21. The FHSAA informed the school of the forfeits on Monday, Oct. 31.

“FPC is committed to upholding the integrity of the athletic programs,” Bossardet said. “We immediately self-reported (the error).”

The player played a total of 24 plays in the first four games of the season. The Bulldogs won three of those games against Suwannee, Spruce Creek and Matanzas, but they lost to Main-

land. With the forfeits, FPC’s record dropped from 6-3 to 3-6.

The forfeits do not affect the Bulldogs’ playoff eligibility. FPC won its two district games after the miscalculation was discovered to clinch a playoff spot as the District 4-4S champion.

But district champs are no longer guaranteed a firstround home game, and with the added losses, the Bulldogs will have a lower seeding and will likely be sent on the road against Bartram Trail, the top-ranked team in the region.

“We’re fortunate (the district) games were not impacted, and I’m confident they’ll do their best to have a good playoff run,” Bossardet said. “I’m proud of the boys and the coaching staff for the season we’ve had.

They worked hard to earn a playoff spot, and I’m excited to watch them finish the season and go on to the playoffs.”

FPC will play its final regular-season game on Friday, Nov. 4, at DeLand. The playoffs begin on Nov. 11.

The ineligible player played five plays against Suwannee in the fourth quarter, five plays on special teams against Spruce Creek, nine plays against Matanzas in the second half and five plays on special teams against Mainland, Bossardet said.

Bossardet said the player had an academic contract, which means he was making academic progress.

“I’m proud of the kid, and he’s doing a good job now,” Bossardet said.
