A former Tax Collector’s Office clerk stole $21,134 in customer money between 2011 and July 2018 by taking cash for ambulance services, but then never depositing it, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. Former ambulance specialist Deborah Thomas, 60 and now living in Tennessee, is being charged in connection with the crimes committed between February 2014 and her July 2018

City considers $975,000 option for improving Public Works facility The upgrades could tide the city over for about seven years until a new facility can be built, city staff members said.

Palm Coast may spend up to $975,000 improving the Public Works facility on Hargrove Grave at U.S. 1, with plans to spend potentially $26.4 million in future years building a new facility there. The City Council at a workshop April 30 considered whether the city should accelerate plans intended to make the facility safer and more efficient by renovating the current buildings and adding modular office space. That could require spending reserve money. The city currently has about 19% fund balance reserve, and Mayor Millissa Holland asked city staff members if the city could use some of that money to speed up the project. Staff members said they would look into it, but that the city would need to maintain a reserve of about 17%. “I am very much in favor of keeping a healthy reserve fund balance. ... It’s the responsible thing to do,” Holland said. But, she said, keeping employees in unsafe conditions is not responsible. “If there’s a way to take that (money), one-time, and add to a project that would help make it more safe ... I think that would be the responsible thing,” she said. The Public Works facility has been a topic of City Council discussion for years. Current problems include water intrusion, structural problems, and a lack of parking and storage space, according to city staff. Council members toured the facility in 2017, and, in 2018, discussed adding taxes or electric fees to pay for a new facility. That generated resident pushback. The council told staff members to come up with funding ideas using revenue the city already has.

FIBER: HOW INVOLVED SHOULD THE CITY GOVERNMENT BE? Palm Coast City Councilman Nick Klufas believes the city’s fiber network, called FiberNet, is an asset that the city should develop and can use to increase revenue. Councilman Jack Howell thinks the city shouldn’t be competing with private companies. The councilmen discussed the issue in an April 30 workshop after a city staff presentation on a proposed RFS, or request for solutions, that the city plans to send out to solicit a private industry partnership to help the city make better use of its existing fiber network. “We’ve got a lot of cities out there that have tried to compete, and they can’t,” Howell said. “We can’t compete with AT&T.” And, Howell added, “We don’t know what comes after fiber. … I want to make sure that we don’t get caught on the short end of the stick, because whenever a government runs a business, that’s not good.” Klufas said the city already has the infrastructure. “We really are benefitting from the forethought of the individuals who were on the council before us,” Klufas said. And fiber, he said, could be the backbone of smart-city initiatives that depend on speedy data collection and coordination. As to Howell’s concerns about obsolescence, Klufas said, with fiber, “you upgrade the electronics on both ends,” not the fiber itself. “In the future, you’re right, who knows what were going to be able to send over the fiber,” but you still need the fiber, Klufas said. “Why not let them have the burden, and let us just sit back and get a percentage of their take,” Howell said. Milissa Holland, the city’s mayor, said that’s essentially be what the RFS would do. “I just want us to get out altogether,” Howell said. Klufas countered that the city handles utilities. Howell said that’s different. “There’s a monopoly, no competition,” Howell said. With fiber, he said, “I think they (private industry) should run the show.”

“No trespassing” signs went into effect May 1.

has helped many over the years, Calderwood has several stories of people who get some help but then ended up right back where they started because, she says, the county failed to follow up. “This is what happens if you don’t have the case management,” she said. Nickels praised Calderwood for cultivating relationships with the homeless and helping them, and she shrugged off Calderwood’s criticism. “Everyone has a right to an opinion,” Nickels said. Nickels emphasized the responsibility of the homeless to make their own decisions about their future. “Flagler County is all of us,” she said. “If you see someone fall, you help them up. You don’t blame Janet Nickels.” Bellino, pastor of Church on the Rock, walked around the tents and talked to the homeless, many of whom he knows and has sheltered and fed at his church in Bunnell. He would like the church to be an official homeless shelter in the county, but he reported that the city of Bunnell is reluctant to partner with him so far. One person who is happy with the progress at the library is County Administrator Jerry Cameron.

Cameron said on the phone on April 30, “The homeless will be gone this afternoon. ... We’ve been working diligently to find places for them. … Janet Nickels has done a wonderful job.” But, Cameron said, more remains to be done. Meanwhile, Library Director Holly Albanese walked out of the library in the late afternoon on April 30, as Nickels and Bellino talked quietly under a tree in the parking lot. A homeless woman named Simone Smith, walked two dogs nearby. Smith said she wasn’t impacted by the clearing of the camp because she didn’t sleep there; she sleeps in her car. The library is a “de facto homeless shelter,” Albanese said, because of the WiFi, the computers, the air conditioning, the books. And, she said, because “we’re open to everyone.” Still, Albanese is pleased that action was taken after all these years. She has sent emails and photos to her bosses on county staff in the past, but she felt the emails were ignored. With Cameron and new leadership in place, she took to the opportunity to go directly to the County Commission. When Chairman Donald O’Brien agreed to take a tour and saw the size of the camp, he was alarmed, and the process started. Now, there is a security guard at the library, staff feels less obligated to intervene if homeless people cause disturbances, and the atmosphere is, as a result, “light.” “I’m feeling good for everybody,” Albanese said. “I’m hoping that everyone who wanted help will get help. Living in a tent — it’s no way to live.” Email editor@palmcoastobserver.com.

Simone Smith proves that homelessness is by no means solved by the clearing of the camp. She lives in her car near the library and therefore won’t be evacuating.

“You can’t make it against the law to be alive. If a jurisdiction can’t provide you with a better alternative than sleeping outside, then they can’t prohibit you from sleeping outside.” JERRY CAMERON, county administrator

The homeless camp, which recently had swelled to a population of about 40 behind the Flagler County Public Library, is now a ghost town. As of May 1, according to the signs posted along the perimeter of the property, no one is allowed in those woods because the area will soon become a construction site: A new headquarters for the Sheriff’s Office’s Palm Coast district will be built there. As a result, the homeless population has vacated the property, and they have been “pretty darn cooperative,” according to Janet Nickels, Flagler County’s Human Services project manager. She and her staff talked to every homeless person on April 29, “and we went to each tent again today, with the Flagler Sheriff’s Office,” she said on April 30, under a shade tree between the library and the camp. She added that they have worked with many of the homeless for years and have tried to build relationships. “We have cases on every single person here,” she said. She pointed to a red tent in the distance and said the owner, who is now staying with one of his friends, promised to remove the tent a day ago but failed to do so. Time is running out, but he has been fairly warned, she said. If it’s not gone by the midnight deadline, the tent will be discarded. There are about 10 tents or blue tarps remaining, waving in the wind, scattered from the library to the canal. In addition to staying with friends, the homeless from the camp have found other solutions, like going to detox, staying in hotel rooms or moving to trailer parks, like the Ponderosa Trailer Park on U.S. 1, in Korona. Denise Calderwood, a volunteer with Family Matters of Flagler, was frustrated with what she called the county’s “arbitrary” May 1 deadline, leaving some homeless people scrambling to get IDs and negotiate assistance from multiple social service agencies. She showed up April 30 herself, taking time away from work, to help some of the homeless take their belongings to their new arrangements. And while the county staff

retirement, as those crimes are within the statute of limitations, according to the FCSO. The money stolen in that time frame totaled $16,418. “Anyone that takes one penny of taxpayer dollars illegally needs to be dealt with,” County Commissioner Donald O’Brien said. “I’m just really disappointed that something like this should happen. It’s very unfortunate. … I know law enforcement will do their job do get justice.” Every month within that time frame, according to a Sheriff’s Office report, Thomas took customers’ cash, along with other forms of payment. But every month, she deposited no cash at all with the Tax Collector’s Office. The theft came to light when Tax Collector’s Office finance employee Gina Allman noticed in June 2018 that a deposit Thomas had made was short $20, according to a Sheriff’s Office report. Allman notified Assistant Tax Collector Rabeth Nescio. When Nescio asked Thomas about it, Thomas said it must have been misplaced in her office, and that she’d turn it over as soon as she found it. Nescio said she’d help look. The two searched her office and didn’t find it, and Thomas told Nescio that she’s just pay $20 from her own money, then keep the missing $20 when she found it. The Tax Collector’s Office started an investigation, and determined that Thomas had been stealing for years. She would receive cash, along with other forms of payment,

from customers, then create a “deposit packet” with no cash listed on the deposit, according to the FCSO report. The Tax Collector’s Office contacted Tri-Tech, the company that manages the Tax Collector’s Office’s billing system. Tri-Tech determined that Thomas had been creating reversal transactions to cover up for the cash she was taking: The system would show that cash had been paid, but the reversal would make it look like the cash was refunded or paid out somewhere else, according to the FCSO report. The computer system showed that Thomas had created all the reversals, according to the report. Thomas had also created new billing codes to hide her actions, according to the report. The Tax Collector’s Office contacted the Sheriff’s Office. A detective, John Castanheira, called Thomas on March 12, and she initially denied the theft, but then admitted to taking some money, according to an FCSO news release. Thomas is charged with grand theft embezzlement, and a judge on April 30 signed a warrant for her arrest and extradition, according to the news release. “This woman was entrusted as an employee of the Tax Collector’s Office to safeguard and deposit monies due to the county but instead she put the money in her own pocket,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in the FCSO’s news release. “White collar crimes take a lot of time to investigate, but Detective Castanheira investigated the case until he could prove the allegations and theft and obtain a warrant for her arrest.”

Vote no on Captain’s BBQ expansion

LET T ERS

PalmCoastObserver.com

THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019

Dear Editor: Flagler County presented its latest proposal to subsidize the expansion of Captain’s Bait, Tackle & BBQ at a workshop on April 3, with a vote planned for Monday, May 6. By limiting the presentation to two options, either of which gives Captain’s a new building in a previously undisturbed portion of the park, the county has shown that it fully intends to take Environmentally Sensitive Land parkland for the benefit of this single private business. The county should have presented a third option: Let the lease run out. Let Captain’s relocate to a location suitable for a larger restaurant and a bar, at its own, not the taxpayers’, expense. The commission has been convinced that it faces enormous financial liability if it does not provide Captain’s with a new space in the park. The county attorney has painted this dire scenario, without presenting any actual supporting figures. When a commissioner asked for this information, the county attorney defended the right of Captain’s to keep its figures private. Additionally, the county attorney has failed to present any defenses and/or counterclaims the county would have against any such imaginary lawsuit. Finally, the county has been operating under the erroneous assumption that it owes Captain’s anything other than the premises under the current lease scope. I urge the commission to demand factual support for the county attorney’s dire prediction of financial liability for any alleged breach of contract. Furthermore, the commission must be informed of all defenses and counterclaims for the county, prior to making a decision on the issue. Until and unless the commission is apprised of this information, the commission should reject a vote on either “option” on May 6. BARBARA MURPHY Palm Coast

Advocate for Bings at May 6 meeting Dear Editor: The headline in the April edition of The Hammock Observer, “Do Bings and BBQ go together?”, asked the wrong question. The new restaurant the owners of Captain’s BBQ want to build is an upscale restaurant, seating 150 people with a full bar. Further, the space where the commissioners are willing to place it will tear down the southern pavilion, which is a popular place for weddings, with individuals getting married by the water and then celebrating in the pavilion. This cannot happen if the pavilion is moved behind the restaurant. Bings is first and foremost a public park, with $4 million in federal, state and county funds. Some of these taxpayer funds were created by asking voters’ permission to raise property taxes to help purchase environmentally sensitive land and recreation. Three times Flagler County citizens voted to raise their taxes for this purpose, and the land

Enforce codes on the canals Dear Editor: I agree with Keri Crider about enforcing the codes equally for all. I boat out of the C-section, and there are many homes with rusted or rotted boats and decks falling into the canals. This makes for unsafe waters for wildlife! Especially the manatees! There should be code enforcement on the canals as well, not just on the streets! WILLIAM DROBINSKI Palm Coast

Cautionary tale on code enforcement Dear Editor: My neighbors across the street at first left a junk car with no plates parked in the driveway for months. Then they began to park a work truck piled with ladders in the driveway. Next they started leave a flatbed trailer loaded with scaffolding parked in the swale for days. I finally called Code Enforcement when they began to park a car on the front lawn. And, of course, garbage cans were left in front of the house, and the lawn was rarely mowed. This is what happens when codes are not enforced and how neighborhoods slip into decline. And why was it allowed to get that far? BILL CAMPION Palm Coast

Captain’s wants to build on was bought with that taxpayer money. A full-time bar, even if it opens at 5 p.m., is inappropriate to be placed near a children’s park. With greater than six months of daylight savings time, children will be at the park after 5 p.m. A small barbecue has been ideal for picnickers who want sandwiches, or boaters who want lunch or dinner. A big restaurant, especially one that aims to be high-end with a bar, is not a good fit for this park. The demand for parking is a lose/lose situation: If no spaces are added, there won’t be enough room for users of the Bings Landing to park; if more spaces are added, it becomes a park with a big restaurant and a big parking lot. Over 1,700 citizens have signed petitions asking that Captain’s not be expanded. Bings is a countyowned park; Captain’s is a private business taking advantage of the fact that it does not have to do what all private businesses have done: buy land, pay for sewer or septic, pay for parking and pay property taxes. If you love Bings Landing, please be at the County Commission meeting at 9 a.m. May 6 and urge the county to pay to rebuild the existing original structure and set up a way for Captain’s to have a tent, or some other way to cook, however long the rebuilding

of the original building takes. Captain’s’ new building will dominate Bings Landing and severely diminish the benefits to all those people who use and love this park. DR. LYNNE ROSEWATER Palm Coast

Don’t allow Captain’s to dominate Bings Dear Editor: Captain’s BBQ and Bait Shop rents a small building from the county in Bings Landing Park (on the Intracoastal Waterway for only $780 per month). As the landlord, the county feels obligated to offer a new building for Captain’s because county staff says portions of the current building are irreparable — even though independent contractors not associated with the county have not been allowed to inspect the building. Also, Captain’s will stay in this “irreparable” building for many months while a new building is being constructed. How unsafe and irreparable can the existing building possibly be? In reality, Captain’s owner does not want to move the BBQ joint and bait shop to a new building of the same size and scope. He wants a 150-seat, upscale, chops and seafood restaurant with a full bar. The Captain’s owners and their attorney have openly and frequently mentioned this restaurant dream. But county staff and a couple of commissioners seem to want to help these people build their 150-seat dream restaurant in a park you paid for. The former county administrator even intervened on behalf of Captain’s and asked the Hammock Dunes Utility Board for a special sewer hook-up for “Bing’s Landing Park”— coincidentally requesting the exact number of gallons required not for a park, but for a 150-seat restaurant. Captain’s has offered to pay upfront for his new restaurant building in the park, “donate” it to the county upon completion, then rent it back from the county. Captain’s wants to be seen as generous, but the county, which will own the “donated” building, plans to offer Captain’s such a huge reduction in monthly rent that the county is essentially paying Captain’s back for the “donated” building over the term of the lease. It is not a donation at all. The rent the county will get from Captain’s for this new ICW waterfront restaurant in your public park? Only $1,000 per month. Wouldn’t every restaurant owner love to have this deal? Only you and the commissioners can stop this. Email them. Tell the commissioners to get independent inspectors into the current building. Tell them if a new building is needed it should be the same size as the BBQ joint and bait shop (2,274 square feet with conditioned air). Attend the commissioners’ meeting at 9 a.m. Monday, May 6. Wear green to show you don’t want a private business’ huge restaurant in your green park paid for with your green dollars. JANET SULLIVAN Palm Coast

Good deed: Young man returned wallet Dear Editor: Recently a young man rang my doorbell and stated, “Mr. Clark, I have your wallet,” extending his hand and giving me the wallet I did not even know had been lost. He had found it at Epic Theatres the night before and drove over to my home to personally return it. It had all my credit cards, family photos, license and cash, just as when I last had it. With all the stories of people stealing other people’s identities, scams run on the unsuspecting, robo callers asking for personal information and all manners of solicitations for bogus services, it is refreshing to see the inherent goodness in some people through a simple, selfless act. Faced with a choice, this young man, who called himself Chris, did the right thing, the honorable thing. Chris would not accept any monetary reward for his act, refusing the money I pulled from my wallet. He simply stated that he knew what it felt like to lose a wallet. A thankful smile and handshake from me were reward enough. JOHN CLARK Palm Coast

Let’s have a frugal city, not a ‘smart’ one Dear Editor: Being old enough to have lived through Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society, Barack Obama’s Infrastructure Failure and now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, I know what an extravagant waste of money is, and a “Smart City” is such a waste! Smart cities are those who manage their resources efficiently to minimize costs, increase performance and last but far from least, reduce carbon emissions — or so they would have you believe! This whole thing sounds like something that will control you instead of help you. Leaders are calling for technology to permeate every layer of our urbanity. They want technologies at their disposal ranging from public Wi-Fi and waste management to online voting and automatic traffic routing. As sensors become ubiquitous and more data is collected and analyzed, elected officials will gain radically granular understanding of the cities’ needs (as they perceive them) and more control of lives; in other words, programmatic lifestyles. Does the term “Big Brother is watching” ring a bell? The main purpose of smart cities has to do with the environment; sensors and cameras in some cities are already being used to track air quality, temperatures, sound levels and traffic. It’s all part of the “green movement” where we will all be part of the green revolution whether we want to or not. Going along with such nonsense and building and maintaining unlimited parks just goes to show that the people we elect to run this city do not know the meaning of the word frugal! DOUGLAS R.

Armed man bursts Threat delays start into woman’s of classes at FPC home, steals phone A bomb threat written in a bathAn armed man knocked on the door of a Palm Coast woman’s home, pushed his way inside when she opened it, then robbed her, the woman told Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies. The victim, 60, said she had been asleep in her home on Beachway Drive when she heard someone knocking on the front door at about 1 a.m. April 24. She couldn’t see anyone through a window, so she cracked the door open. As she did so, a man wearing a black ski mask and gloves, and holding a gun and a flashlight, pushed his way inside. The woman yelled, “What do you want?” and the man replied, “Your money and credit cards,” the woman recounted to deputies. The woman ran into the kitchen and lay down on the floor, holding her purse. She tried to grab her cell phone, but the man snatched it away from her, she said. She ran out the back door of the house, yelling for help, went to a neighbor’s house, and called law enforcement. She returned after deputies cleared the house. The only thing missing was her phone. A deputy noted two black zip ties on the ground outside the front door, and collected them as evidence. The deputy noted in the case report that it was not known whether they were related to the robbery.

room at Flagler Palm Coast High delayed the start of classes by half an hour April 26 as school staff and a school resource deputy searched the school. They found nothing, and determined that the threat was unfounded. “They haven’t been able to identify a suspect, but they will continue to work on that,” Flagler County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Brittany Kershaw said. School personnel noticed the threat at about 7 a.m. as they prepared to open the school. The threat to bomb the school included the date, Kershaw said. The school usually opens at about 7:30. The school contacted law enforcement and first checked the school stadium for threats, so that students could be held there, away from the main buildings, as the rest of the school was checked, according to a news release from Flagler Schools. Nothing was found during the sweep of the stadium, so arriving students were directed there. School administrators searched the school with assistance from FPC’s School Resource Deputy, Jason Williams, Kershaw said. They didn’t find anything suspicious, and the written threat was cleaned off the wall. Students were allowed into the school buildings shortly before 8 a.m. Additional deputies are stationed at the campus during the day.

Former kids’ counselor Fire engulfs Bunnell arrested for sex crime home, no one injured Mobley was a counselor at a Boys and Girls Club in Flagler County. He confessed to a detective.

On her way to work, Sheriff’s Office clerk Ashlie Hicks saw the smoke and beat on the door to wake up the residents.

OBSERVER STAFF

PUBLIC AFFAIRS MANAGER, FCSO

A former Boys and Girls Club counselor was arrested this week, after he allegedly molested an 8to 9-year-old girl between 2011 and 2012. In May 2018, the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a delayed report of a sex offense that had occurred at a Boys and Girls Club in Flagler County between 2011 and 2012. The reporting person stated that one of the summer camp counselors, Dontia Deone Mobley, now 34, molested one of the camp attendees on multiple occasions between May 2011 and August 2012. The case was assigned to Detective Nicole Quintieri of the Major Case Unit. While investigating the incident, Quintieri interviewed the suspect, who confirmed working at the Boys and Girls Club and eventually provided a confession. On April 29, a warrant was obtained for the arrest of Mobley for molestation on a victim under 12 years old. At 10:40 a.m., detectives with the FCSO Major Case Unit located the suspect near the intersection of East Drain Street and South State Street in Bunnell and took him into custody. Mobley was taken to the Flagler County Jail, where he is being

held without bond. He has previous arrests in Flagler County for aggravated child abuse, lewd and lascivious molestation, and two counts of violation of felony probation. “This person used his position of authority to abuse a young child,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “I hope he is prosecuted to the furthest extent possible so that he cannot prey on anyone else. He deserves to serve the rest of his life in prison. Our detectives did a great job in closing this difficult case.” Story courtesy of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

A fire consumed a Bunnell home on the morning of Tuesday, April 30, but no one was injured. Flagler County Fire Rescue called in the American Red Cross to address the needs of the three adults who lived there. “Engines 62 and 92 were on scene quickly and prevented the fire from spreading to other structures,” Fire Chief Don Petito said of the blaze that was reported about 8:15 a.m. at a residence on East Lambert Street. “We treated one person at the scene and released that individual shortly afterward.” In addition to Flagler County Fire Rescue, Palm Coast and Flagler Beach’s fire departments responded, as did the Bunnell Police Department and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The fire was out by 8:38 a.m., but crews remained on the scene to “mop up” the remains. Flagler County Fire Marshal Jerry Smith is investigating the cause of the fire, which appears to have started on the front porch. Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Civil Clerk Ashlie Hicks was driving to work on that morning when she noticed smoke billowing out of the home, and she called 911. Worried that a person may be inside the residence, Hicks ran to

the back of the house and began beating on the door to alert anyone inside. She was able to wake the three adults who had been asleep. Hicks also assisted the family in exiting the home as well as getting their animals to safety. “Without Ashlie stepping in, there could have been a much different outcome,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Thankfully Ashlie used her experience as a dispatcher to help those in need despite the dangerous conditions. She very well could have saved three lives today. We are proud of her.” Story courtesy of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and Flagler County government.

THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2019

BRIEFS County to address Captain’s on May 6 Both of the options that will be presented to the County Commission at its May 6 meeting will result in Captain’s BBQ remaining in the current, dilapidated building for nine to 12 months and then moving into a new building located to the south in Bings Landing — farther away from the archeological site and closer to the Intracoastal Waterway. The new building will have a footprint of similar size to the current building. The key differences between the two options are how many seats will be allowed and who’s paying. The first option, according to County Administrator Jerry Cameron, will result in the county paying for the new building and Captain’s being limited to 98 seats. It would also mean the lease will be honored and could be allowed to expire on schedule, in 2026. The rent would remain $750 per month. The second option will result in Captain’s building the new building and immediately donating it to the county for a longer lease deal. Captain’s would assume all the cost and could also expand its seating up to 150. The rent would also increase to $1,000 per month, but if the cost of the $1 million building is factored in, the building cost is closer to $5,000 per month, and that’s not far from market value, Cameron said. The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Monday, May 6, at the Government Services Building.

Barkoskie met with the victim and provided Cunningham a full update of what

occurred. In lieu of making the victim drive two hours to report this incident in Kissimmee, Barkoskie agreed to handle the entire case from start to finish. LIFE SAVING — Deputy Kyle Gaddie and Sgt. Kenny Goncalves

Gaddie and Goncalves responded to the Mobil Gas Station for an unresponsive male that overdosed on heroin. Gaddie administered one dose of Narcan but the subject did not react. Goncalves instructed Gaddie to start CPR with chest compressions and administered another dose of Narcan. The male began to recover, gain consciousness, and was turned over to Fire/Rescue and transported to the hospital. The male was expected to make a full recovery.

He is an active instructor for the Flagler County Sheriffs Police Athletic League, managing the Junior Police Academy and Middle School sports.

LIFE SAVING AWARD — Dep. Chris Crego

Deputy Crego responded to a medical call for a 77-year-old male. Once on scene, Deputy Crego took over CPR until the arrival of paramedics. The male had a pulse and arrived alive to the hospital. LIFE SAVING AWARD — Dep. Taylor Oldham and Dep. Richard Wallis

Oldham and Wallis responded to an overdose call. Both deputies administered Narcan to an unresponsive woman who was not breathing. Lt. Craig with the Palm Coast Fire Department emailed Sheriff Staly to say that he had “No doubt the patient would have been in respiratory arrest” had it not been for the rapid actions of Oldham and Wallis. SHERIFF’S CITATION AWARD — Dep. Sam Cooper

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION — Dep. Jayd Capela

Since August 2018, Cowen has been in charge of the inmate work crew. During this time, he has established a strong working relationship with the county and has saved the taxpayer’s money on contracts that the county was able to cancel and have the inmate work crew take over. He has been a great mentor to the inmates in the program. He comes to work every day ready for the next task.

Capela spoke with a young man in a park after noticing that he appeared to be upset. The student explained that he was having issues in school. The student said that normally he would not interact with Law Enforcement or confide in an officer but he felt comfortable with Capela. Capela recommended that the student go talk to the SRDs at his school so that they could find him the tutoring/mentoring that he needs — and that is what the student did.

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION — Sgt. Vickers, Dep. Martin, Dep. Buendo and CCTV Operator Gregory Ray

CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION — Dep. Kemp, Danowski and Long

In February, an inmate wrapped his bed sheet around his neck. Vickers approached the inmate and stopped his attempt by removing the bed sheet from around his neck. The team effort by Vickers,

Martin, Buendo, and Ray resulted in potentially saving a life. CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION — Sgt. Joe Barile, Det. Gabe Fuentes & Laura Kruger

Barile, Fuentes and Kruger recently spearheaded the push for a safe working environment for Sheriff’s Office employees. After concerns arose regarding the safety of the Sheriffs Operations Center, these three employees, as part of their role as union representatives, took initiative and proceeded to take on the long and arduous task of documenting employee illness, coordinating testing, providing legal services and acting as liaisons between the employees and Sheriff’s Administration. CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION — Sierra Held

On April 1, deputies responded to a call for an 85-year-old missing adult. Held made contact with firefighters from Station 24 and

they allowed her to utilize their hand held FLIR system, which she previously trained with in preparation for something like this. Within a short time, Held notified Sgt. Breckwoldt that she was detecting a hot spot at the rear of a property where a house was under construction. Breckwoldt then located the subject who was laying in mud near the wood line. Because of Held’s preparation and quick thinking, the missing man was located in a timely manner and in a healthy condition. CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION — Dep. Sheria Woods, Dep.

In January, FCSO received a stolen vehicle alert from a License Plate Reader. The vehicle was stolen out of Virginia and was taken during a robbery/attempted abduction. The vehicle stopped in the B-section of Palm Coast where the driver refused to exit the vehicle or communicate with deputies. Due to the nature of the offensives, additional resources were activated to resolve this incident. Due to the quick response, the stolen vehicle was recovered and the driver was apprehended.

18 pets removed from home, resident denies allegations Staci Steele said only four of the animals belonged to her. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The scene depicted in a Palm Coast Animal Control officer’s report is one of squalor and disarray: When officers arrived at 12 Waywood Drive, they reported, the door was open, there were dogs running around outside the house near busy Belle Terre Boulevard, and the interior of the home stank of pet feces and urine. Animal Control officers removed 18 animals from the house: 10 dogs and eight cats, including a litter of kittens. They’re being held at the Flagler Humane Society at a rate of $15 per pet per day, to be billed to the owner, while the city investigates residents Staci Steele and her adult daughter Mackenzi for animal neglect and abuse. The city of Palm Coast allows up to four animals per house. Staci Steele, 47, disputes many of the Animal Control officers’ statements. She said only four of the animals actually belonged to her, and that all of the animals are healthy and uninjured. Flagler Humane Society Director Amy Carotenuto confirmed that the animals seem healthy; a veterinarian had checked them for injuries and signs of dehydration and malnourishment, and found none. “If every animal I’m bringing to you is healthy, that’s what your

concern should be; your concern shouldn’t be the condition of my house,” Staci Steele said. She wants her pets back. “It (the house) is so empty, and I keep picturing my dogs in cages. ... I’m sick with worry.” An Animal Control officer’s photos, included in the report, show a sparsely decorated home, its floor flecked with pet kibble and apparent feces. The officer writes that there was urine and feces in every room of the house, and that it was more than just a few hours’ worth. The smell, he wrote, was “almost unbearable.” But Steele said the animals must have made the mess while she was gone during the afternoon. The report said the animals, though fed, had no water, and that there was no air circulation. Steele denied that, saying they had one large water bowl and that they had air conditioning. She said only four of the pets, all dogs, were hers, and the others belonged to family members who were over for Easter, and to a visiting friend. An Animal Control officer wrote in the report that Steele had said the same thing when Animal Control visited her at a home on Rae Drive in November, at that time saying the pets were at her home because she had relatives there for Thanksgiving. “The owner’s stories kept contradicting themselves,” the officer wrote. Steele denied that.

Palm Coast Songwriters Festival: Local spotlight on Taylor Phillips LOCAL SHOWCASE

BRIAN MCMILLAN EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Taylor Phillips has a dream: “I would love to be a country artist, like Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.” But even saying such a thing out loud is awkward for the Matanzas High School senior. “It’s kind of stupid telling people,” she says, “because it doesn’t happen very often.” Still, she believes in herself enough to perform cover songs — “My Church, by Maren Morris, and “Who Will Save Your Soul,” by Jewel, are two of her favorites — at places in Flagler Beach like Saltwater Crocs for three hours at a time. So, she points out, she’s just like her peers, working at restaurants — except she’s singing rather than serving tables. “I don’t have anything to complain about,” she says. (She also plays sports: weightlifting, volleyball, lacrosse.) And she writes, too. She says she has a couple of dozen songs in her repertoire, although she doesn’t sing them very often in public. One day, though, Garry Lubi stopped by to hear her play. Lubi is the visionary behind the Palm Coast Songwriters Festival, which brings a dozen professional writers to town — people who have written songs for Phillips’ favorite stars. On Friday, May 3, the first day of the second-annual festival, he estimates that 25 No. 1 country hits will be performed by the songwriters. Between all the writers, there are about 200 Top 10 hits. It’s an opportunity to

hear people who have made it big on a national level — something you don’t get very often in Palm Coast. Lubi decided that at this year’s festival there should also be a local showcase. He just needed to find a few local songwriters. School Board member Andy Dance told him about Phillips, so he went to Saltwater Crocs to listen. “I walked up to her when she had a break and told her what we were thinking about doing, and I asked her if she’d be willing to do it,” Lubi recalls. “She’s got a great voice, plays guitar, and we’re looking forward to having her.

Nathan Farrell won the 300-meter hurdles and took silver in the 110-meter hurdles. Ken’Derick Morton finished in fifth in the 300-meter hurdles to qualify. The 4x100-meter relay team qualified, as did two shot putters and two discus throwers. Maxim Bystrov placed fifth in the pole vault.

“I’m focused on the next match, the next move.” T.J. GILLIN, Matanzas boys wrestling’s new head coach

READY TO RUMBLE Pirates welcome new boys wrestling coach T.J. Gillin

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

fter 260 dual wins, eight district championships and 14 seasons, the Pirates’ John White is stepping down as head coach of Matanzas’ boys wrestling team to focus on the girls team, which recently celebrated its inaugural season. White announced he was stepping down at Matanzas’ end-ofthe-year wrestling banquet on Wednesday, April 24. In his place enters T.J. Gillin, who has served as an assistant coach for the Pirates the last four years. “We were tough four years ago but not at the level that we are now,” White said. “T.J. has been instrumental in helping develop this team. I hope he destroys any record I have. That would make me proud.” White, who is a member of the Florida High School Athletic Association’s Wrestling Advisory Committee, has been focusing on getting girls wrestling sanctioned by the FHSAA, a process that is about a year away from being completed. With the permission of Matanzas Athletics Director Zach Rigney, White created the Pirates’ first-ever girls wrestling team this past season. He wasn’t sure how the project would work out, but after the first

practice, he “knew it was going to be big.” Fifteen girls joined the team, and the rest was history. The Pirates ended up placing fourth in the state. “We wanted to be the frontrunners,” White said of his creation of the girls team. “It’s a physical sport, and there’s not a whole lot of contact sports for girls out there. It’s a great opportunity for them to get out there on the mat and be physical with each other. Girls are just as tough, if not tougher than, boys. I’m excited about giving them this opportunity.” There is some sadness about handing over the boys team, however. It was a program that he, with the help of several dedicated assistants, built from the ground up. But he believes he’s leaving the program in good hands. “I knew T.J. was ready,” White said. “I just needed to make sure he knew he was ready.” The Pirates are coming off of their greatest season in program history: They became the first Flagler County team to ever qualify for the state duals tournament, they beat rival Flagler Palm Coast for the first time in a decade, they won the district and finished second at regionals, and they qualified nine wrestlers for the state tournament, where they had three place. But there will be no slow-

ing down under the Pirates’ new 30-year-old head coach. “We finally developed a system, and it’s working,” Gillin said. “We set high goals and high expectations. We want that state trophy, and that’s not going to change.” Gillin’s experience in wrestling goes all the way back to the third grade. He wrestled at FPC before graduating in 2007, and he continued to wrestle when he enrolled at the University of Central Florida, where he graduated in 2011. He wasn’t ready to be a head coach straight out of college, however. He wasn’t ready to manage a group of kids and “all the stuff that comes with that.” He became an assistant at FPC, where he stayed for four years before moving on to Matanzas to prove himself. He continued his wrestling education, soaking up knowledge under White. “He’s been a great mentor and I’ve learned a lot from him,” Gillin said. “I feel like I’m ready now. It’s been a dream of mine for a long time.” Although the Pirates graduate five state qualifiers this year, they still have two state placers coming back in rising seniors Shaun Culbreth and Quenteen Robinson. Gillin believes next year’s team will be even stronger. “I think we’re going to surprise some people,” he said.

Although the Bulldogs return several key players on the offensive side of the ball — including starting quarterback Donovan Montoyo, backup quarterback Preston Roberts, running backs Ty Jenkins and Marc Genis, and four starters along the offensive line — FPC graduated nine starters on defense. However, Bulldogs coach Travis Roland remains excited this spring practice. “It’s fun.

As a result, practices have been running more smoothly. “We seem to have kids with better character, kids with better attitudes,” he said. “So it’s just making it a lot better.”

PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR

classroom at Matanzas High School has transformed into a courtroom — complete with a judge’s seat, a gavel and hand-crafted woodwork by the MHS Building Construction Flagship. The courtroom is the home for the law section of the MHS Law and Justice Flagship. “I want you to imagine this for a minute: This was a traditional classroom. When I first visited this school, this was a traditional classroom,” said Superintendent James Tager to a packed room of government and school officials. “Now, you look around and you think, ‘How does this happen?’ Because of flagships and learning opportunities.” A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held the morning of Wednesday, April 24, to celebrate the efforts of the construction students and the future opportunities the law students will have. “It’s going to help us and a lot of future generations because we have an advantage over other schools with academics with this,” said freshman Caleb Struble, who’s in the Law and Justice Flagship. “Because you get to learn a little bit more and get to do more things related to the courts system than just sitting down and have someone explaining terms to you and you writing down definitions. So, it makes you feel more involved.” Flagler County Judge Judge Melissa Distler, of the 7th Judicial Circuit, shared her passion with the students at the ceremony. “I’m inspired that somebody as young as our students here can find that passion and know what they want to do,” she said. “And

by having this type of a program, they will be more able to achieve their goals quicker than someone like me, who was in law school and didn’t even know I wanted to be a lawyer.” Jeremy Ossler, Matanzas flagship coordinator, said this courtroom will make all the difference for the program. “It’s every law teacher’s dream to have a courtroom as their classroom,” Ossler said. “It’s one thing to discuss the law; it’s another to have a hands-on learning experience, which will be very beneficial to our students. Already this year, our students have utilized this for simulations in jury selection, as well as mock trials. Our Matanzas legal team has the perfect place to get themselves ready for state competition.” There are 42 students currently in the Law and Justice Flagship, Ossler said, and most of them participate in both the law and the justice classes. He said that 55 students are enrolled for next year. “I think criminal justice would

be something cool that will help the community,” freshman Leslie Bravo said. “And when I come out of high school, I’d like to join an investigation. So, I think this program is really good to start on that.” Tager emphasized how flagships extend their influence beyond the schools into the community. “Our flagships directly impact our economy,” Tager said. “We want to keep our students here in Flagler County. I will tell you, things like the Law and Justice Flagship will increase our graduation rate. We went from 81% in 2017 to 88% in 2018. And we look forward to a new graduating class on May 30 of this year. These flagships make a difference for students. We want students to have something to come to school for.” Florida Rep. Paul Renner made a donation for part of the courtroom, Flagler County Education Foundation Executive Director Joe Rizzo said. The construction students built the courtroom in about six weeks, under Vincent

Oliveri’s direction. “Let’s not forget: construction kids built it, and the Matanzas law and justice kids came up with the idea, so this is 100% kid-driven,” Rizzo said. “So, the only thing I ask of all the grown-ups in the room is, we have started a new program — actually, it started today — called career coaching, and all of you have lived a profession and can help one of these kids.” Visit https://flagleredfoundation.org/programs/flagshipprograms.

SAVE BING'S LANDING! Important County Commissioner Vote 9 AM May 6th

Bing's Landing belongs to all Flagler citizens and was paid for from your taxes for your benefit! The Commissioners will be voting on whether to let Captain's build a 150 seat 5,200 SF fine dining restaurant with full bar or have the County build a new 100 seat restaurant at Bing's Landing on the peninsula where the South Pavilion is now located, both with a 20 year extendable lease. We think either of these choices is bad for the public (but great for Captain's). The Save Our Park Committee's position has always been to repair the existing building and run out the current lease to 2026. The County has questionably determined repairing the existing building is not an option. Captain's has refused to let us have the building inspected by our outside expert to see if it can be repaired and kept in service until 2026. Why? Because this isn't a disagreement about how big and where to build a new BBQ restaurant it is about completely changing the nature of Captain's (and the park) from a take out BBQ stand into a completely different type of restaurant with a premium water front view at the expense of a historical park that was purchased with tax payer supported Environmentally Sensitive Land funds for the enjoyment of all, not for the benefit of one.

Tell the Commissioners a choice between two bad options is not an option - Vote no on both options! Charles Ericksen cericksen@flaglercounty.org 386-313-4001

FCSO deputy Dave Agata, the OKES school resource deputy, along with FCSO Sgt.

Project WARM, a long-term women’s recovery treatment center in Bunnell, helps about 300 women each year, through its 68-bed facility in six-month to one-year programs. The center allows mothers who have children age 5 and under to stay with them as well. Thanks to a $2,000 donation from the Rotary Club of Flagler County, the women and their children now have a more soothing room to spend time in. A fresh coat of light blue paint, coupled with new throw pillows, artwork and wall decorations, gives the center’s dinning space and waiting room a calming feel, said Project WARM Director of Operations Nicole Lucente said. “I just think that if you have a soothing, inspirational, relaxing atmosphere for the clients and the kids to be in that it’s beneficial, it’s therapeutic,” she said. “We modeled after the Rotary ‘Be in the Inspiration,’ which is the president’s theme for this year. So, everything is coastal and aligns with that. ... So far, they love it. It’s been nothing but positive feedback.” Rotary Club of Flagler County President Cindy Kiel Evans said she’s happy to put the Rotarian theme into practice. “This year, I had been doing some Project WARM Wednesdays where we could collect baby items and bring them to Project WARM the next day,” Evans said. “So, I

reached out to Nicole and asked, ‘What is it you’d want, if you had a wish list that we could help you with?’ And she said, ‘We really need to remodel.’” The funds came from Rotary’s charitable giving, which the club budgets for to benefit an organization each year. “By doing this ‘Be the Inspiration’ room, it could help these women, in the back of their mind to be thinking, ‘I need to be inspiring,’ to not only their children, but to their family, their friends and their community,” Evans said. In addition to decor and paint, the donation provided 12 new high chairs for the children at the center. The redecoration was completed a few weeks ago. To thank Rotary for their efforts, a dozen women in the center’s culinary program prepared a lunch for the Rotarians at the club’s meeting on Tuesday, April 30. The center is unique in the fact that it goes beyond traditional rehabilitation, including by teaching vocational skills, like through the culinary program. The women have an opportunity to get up to four certification from the University of Florida before leaving the center, which better prepares them for getting employed after they leave, Lucente said. “We were ecstatic,” Lucente said about receiving the donation. “The Rotary has been really good to us.”
