CITY WATCH

JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

COUNCIL TO CONSIDER PROPERTY TAX RATE The overall property value in Palm Coast is expected to rise 17% from the 2022 fiscal year to the 2023 fiscal year, from the current $6.4 billion to $7.5 billion. The city’s population is expected to rise from 92,866 to 98,150. If the Palm Coast City Council sets the city’s property tax rate at the same rate as this year’s — $4.61 per $1,000 in taxable value, or 4.61 mills — the increase in property values would mean that the city would make over $4 million more in the coming fiscal year: an estimated $32,665,775, up from $28,308,969 this year. Palm Coast had the thirdlowest city ad valorem tax rate this year among the 14 Florida cities with populations between 80,000 and 100,000. Doral had the lowest rate, at 1.9 mills, and Boynton Beach had the second-lowest, at 3.5789. Boca Raton had the highest (7.98 mills), followed by Deltona (7.85 mills).

More sidewalks needed? Council considers options Is Palm Coast pedestrian-friendly enough? The city is evaluating roadways for possible pedestrian safety improvements. Those could include adding walking paths, adding safety barriers or various interim solutions. The improvements, Mayor David Alfin said at a June 14 City Council workshop, would address a deficiency in Palm Coast’s original master plan. “We’re having to draw from way back in the past and fix a wrong for the future, and learn from this lesson,” Alfin said. Since Palm Coast conducted its first pedestrian feasibility study in 2008, it’s built more than 60 miles of walking and biking facilities, investing more than $10 million, said Mark Manwell of the engineering firm England-Thims & Miller. England-Thims & Miller conducted a study to design new pedestrian options for all of Palm Coast’s residential collector roadways — roads that connect to an arterial or major connector on both ends, but also have residential driveways. A little over half of the 66 roads the firm studied, totaling about 68 miles, have 60-foot rights of way, while the rest have 50-foot rights of way. There are five options, Manwell said: n Option 1: The city could add a sidewalk right next to the road. That option would have minimal impact on residents’ yards. Cost: $200,000 to $515,000 per 1,000 linear feet n Option 2: Add a sidewalk closer to houses, separated from the road by a swale. That would impact yards, and isn’t feasible for most roads with 50-foot rights of way. Cost: $180,000 to $500,000 per 1,000 linear feet n Option 3: Build a sidewalk next to the road and reduce the size of the swale on that side while adding a drainage culvert to minimize stormwater impacts. That would preserve yards, but increase construction costs and may require additional right-ofway for stormwater. Cost: $375,000 to $615,000 per 1,000 linear feet n Option 4: Add 5-foot shoulders to the roadway. That would preserve yards, but could encourage people to park on the side of the road or to drive

Highest-priority residential collector roads A study by an engineering firm ranked the following roads as highest-priority: 1. Bird of Paradise Drive 2. Parkview Drive 3. Whippoorwill Drive 4. Pritchard Drive 5. Pine Grove Drive 6. Cimmaron Drive 7. Wellington Drive 8. Rolling Sands Drive 9. Rae Drive 10. Wynnfield Drive 11. Fellowship Drive 12. Point Pleasant Drive 13. Ryan Drive 14. Laramie Drive 15. Frontier Drive 16. Bridgehaven Drive

Potential road projects in the orange circles are within a mile of an elementary school, areas in green circles are within two miles of a middle school, and areas in blue are within 2 miles of a high school.

faster. Cost: $300,000 to $950,000 per 1,000 linear feet n Option 5: Convert the two-way road to a one-way road with shoulders on both sides. That option would have limited applications, Manwell said, and could increase emergency response times and increase travel speeds. It could also encourage onstreet parking. Cost: $10,000 to $20,000 per 1,000 linear feet

“There are limited applications for each option, and there’s very limited funding,” Manwell warned. That means prioritizing the projects based on roads’ proximity to schools and parks, the number of residents who’d be affected by the project, connections to existing pedestrian networks, and grant funding. England-Thims & Miller selected 16 roads as high priority (see the box

above). Councilman Eddie Branquinho worried that residents might not to support any option that encroached on their property. He said he’d asked one of his neighbors if he’d be willing to give up a foot and a half of property in order to increase roadway safety. “He answered like a machine gun: ‘No, no, no, no, no,’” Branquinho said. The city’s attorney noted that all of the proposed options would fall in the city’s right of way, and wouldn’t require residents to give up land. Alfin, who represents Palm Coast on the River-to-Sea Transportation Planning Organization board, said having a plan opens up potential external funding sources. “With a plan in place, we can begin the conversation, but I don’t I don’t want to sugarcoat this,” Alfin said. “... I have a lot of competition for these dollars, and they tend to have lengthy timelines.” Alfin recommended trying a pilot program while having city staff come up with a parallel option “that might not be as complete and solve all the issues at one time, but might improve the safety of our residents in the shorter term without blowing up the budget.”

Flagler Beach cancels proposed July 4 fireworks show over concerns about pyrotechnics vendor Palm Coast, however, will be holding a fireworks show on July 3 at the Flagler County Executive Airport. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

lagler Beach has canceled plans for July 4 fireworks on the pier this year, citing concerns about the city’s potential pyrotechnics vendor. This will be the third year that the city has not hosted a fireworks show. Flagler Beach usually contracts with Fireworks by Santore for the show, but wasn’t able to book them this year. The city entered talks with another vendor, but had repeated problems. By the time of a City Commission meeting on June 9, there were limited options. “Do we want fireworks, or not? That’s the bottom line,” Commissioner Ken Bryan said at the meeting. “Do we want to have fireworks that night — and that’s what I’d like for this commission to decide.” “Not from this guy,” Commissioner Eric Cooley replied. The city manager had told the City Commission in April that the city had no fireworks provider lined up for this year’s show. The city scrambled to find one, but got just one proposal that met city parameters, from a Green Cove Springs pyrotechnics vendor named Ryan Allen. The commission approved a contract with him, but it quickly became clear that there were issues: Allen backtracked on his initial offer to perform a show similar to Santore’s for $24,000, saying he would need $60,000 or would have to reduce the scope of the show. He also could not provide proof of insurance that met city requirements. When Mayor Suzie Johnston was later presented with a contract for to sign, it was after only after she asked if there had been any changes that she was told that the price had been increased by $1,000, while the length of the show had been reduced from 20 minutes to 17. “I’m not comfortable, and I’m not going to sign a contract that’s been modified and not told,” Johnston said at the June 9 City Commission meeting. “That was an agreement

"It's $1,000 more, it's three minutes less than we're used to. I don't know that anybody would even notice that. My concern is the insurance." JANE MEALY, city commissioner

"If we have to choose bad fireworks over no fireworks, I'm picking none." ERIC COOLEY, city commissioner

that this body in this commission came to upon price and time. It was changed without this body’s notification, without their permission or input.” She added, “I’m not comfortable with the city manager changing how the procedures of contracts work. So as long as I’m going to sit in this chair as a mayor for this city, I’m not going to sign a contract that has been altered without commission consent. So you, this body here, can sign the contract, but I will not put my signature on it. I’m sorry.” City Manager William Whitson said the $1,000 increase was because Allen would have to have some of the fireworks ordinance shipped from Illinois. “Everything’s going up, so I didn’t see that being a big deal, to change the price from 24 to $25,000,” Whitson said. “I’m sorry if I offended the mayor or this board, but I did not see that as a significant change. So I will take responsibility for that.” He added that he believed Allen would be able to stretch the show out to 20 minutes, if necessary. He’d watched one of Allen’s shows in Green Cove Springs to make sure it was satisfactory; it had been about 18 minutes. Asked if she’d be willing to sign the contract if the rest of the commission decided in favor, Johnston said no. “I’m going off of principle: When there’s a change of a contract, I need to be notified before it’s given to me,” she said. “I believe we’re all supposed to be notified,” Commissioner Eric Cooley said. “I’ve never heard of a contract being changed that the commission has agreed on without commission’s consent.” Bryan noted that the city had initially allocated $25,000 for the show: The money comes from a $25,000 Tourist Development Council grant. Whitson also has some discretion on spending authority, on items up to $20,000. “In this particular situation here, he uses authority to exercise a decision to spend an extra $1,000,” Bryan said. “The city manager does not have any right to change commission contracts,” Cooley replied. In cases in which the city manager has bargaining rights, Cooley said, the commission sets a range. “We define the parameters,” Cooley said. “Then the city manager negotiates within those parameters.” “It’s $1,000 more, it’s three min-

utes less than we’re used to. I don’t know that anybody would even notice that,” Commissioner Jane Mealy said. “My concern is the insurance.” If the city were to sign a contract with Allen, he’d have to provide a certificate of insurance with seven days, or he wouldn’t be paid and the city wouldn’t have a show. Whitson said that Allen carries $2 million in insurance; Flagler Beach requires $5 million. Allen’s broker is working on seeking it, Whitson said. Cooley noted that Allen had told the Daytona Beach News-Journal that his show would be dramatically different than Santore’s. “To me, that’s a huge red flag,” Cooley said. “This is not the guy, at this point in the game. You can try to get another vendor. This guy has done bait and switch the entire time we’ve been doing business with him. ... It is going to be a waste of our taxpayers’ money to do business with this guy.” Bryan asked Cooley if he was saying he didn’t want any fireworks. “What I’m saying is if we have to choose bad fireworks over no fire-

works, I’m picking none,” Cooley said. Commissioner James Sherman also was concerned about the process of negotiations with Allen, and said he’d lost a lot of sleep over it. “It’s been anything but seamless,” he said. Bryan said he’d be willing to sign a contract with the condition that the city receive proof of insurance within seven days, or the deal would be off. “That’s where I am with this, because I think the folks of Flagler Beach are entitled to fireworks, and looking forward to it,” he said. “Sometimes there are risks involved when bringing on somebody new.” Mealy made a motion to sign the contract, contingent on Allen providing proof of insurance within seven days. But no other commissioners supported it, so her motion — and with it, the potential contract for July 4 fireworks — died. The city of Palm Coast will be holding a fireworks show produced by Fireworks by Santore on July 3, at the Flagler County Executive Airport.

Two Flagler Schools officials are leaving the district office to be principals again. Bobby Bossardet, the district’s assistant superintendent of academic services, has been appointed principal of Flagler Palm Coast High School. Paul Peacock, the chief of operational services, has been named the principal at Wadsworth Elementary School. Both Bossardet and Peacock were members of Superintendent Cathy Mittlestadt’s senior cabinet. They will be replaced by LaShakia Moore and David Freeman. Moore will move from director of teaching and learning to the position of assistant superintendent of academic services. Freeman, the director of plant services, will be the new chief of operational services. Bossardet is a graduate of FPC. He was the principal at Buddy Taylor Middle School before moving to the district office in the fall of 2020. He was named interim principal at FPC in January 2021 to replace the late Tom Russell. “I have heard the same thing each time we ask teachers, staff, students and parents,” Mittelstadt said. “They want someone who knows the culture and climate of FPC. That is exactly what Bobby brings to the table. He has served this district in a variety of roles over the years, but putting him at his alma mater perfectly matches a person’s abilities with the needs of the campus.” Bossardet replaces Greg Schwartz who was FPC’s principal for the past year. “I know exactly what the Bulldog family is capable of accomplishing, and I am extremely excited for the opportunity to return to FPC to help reestablish the standard for what Flagler Schools is all about,” Bossardet said. Peacock was the principal at Indian Trails Middle School for eight years before becoming chief of operational services a year ago. He replaces Mary Kate Parton, who was in her first year as Wadsworth’s principal. “Paul’s passion for the students is apparent to anyone who has seen him on our campuses,” Mittelstadt said. “His years of leading Indian Trails Middle School and his vision for excellence will translate well at Wadsworth Elementary. He has shown the value of getting students, teachers, staff and parents involved and how that creates a winning culture.” Peacock said he is “excited to return to a campus where I can have that daily interaction with the students. They are why we do what we do.”

DeSantis visits Flagler to sign bill to protect retired police dogs Emma Stanford, who started a non-profit for K-9s, joined the governor’s press conference at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center. BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Gov. Ron DeSantis, surrounded by FCSO K-9 handlers, holds a press conference June 10 at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center.

“We wouldn’t be able to do this without advocates like Emma.” Palm Coast teen Emma Stanford talks about her nonprofit, Emma Loves K9s.

GOV. RON DESANTIS

“This is a great bill,” he said. “It is the same as an NFL player playing for eight or nine years, and they are beat up and retiring. These dogs are beat up after they serve, and they need medical attention. This money is going to go a long way to help.” Last year, a conversation between Staly and Stanford led the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office to help cover costs for its own handlers who take in retired K-9s. Staly met the Stanford family when Emma Stanford was looking to adopt a German shepherd four years ago. “I don’t know who adopted who. Emma and her family adopted us, or we adopted Emma,” Staly said. “They’re a Gold Star family (the family of a U.S. service member who died during a conflict),” Staly said after the press conference. “The family thought it would be good for Emma to get to know our K-9s, almost as a therapy dog. And that developed into a relationship for the entire agency with the Stanford fam-

ily. And what an amazing young lady Emma is, starting this at age 11.” Selling K-9 plushies, “Emma Loves K9s” raises funds for the Flagler K-9s. Earlier this year, Stanford purchased a shed to store the K-9 unit’s gear. When Killebrew introduced his bill last year, Stanford emailed him, asking to help. Staly remembers Stanford telling him that she started raising funds for retired K-9s. “That got me to thinking,” Staly said. “Quite frankly, I’ve been a cop for decades. I was undersheriff in Orange County where we had a lot of dogs. And the dogs would always retire and go to the handler. We never thought about the cost of maintain-

ing the dog.” It turned out to be $2,000 a year if there are no major medical issues, Staly said. Sgt. Rob Tarczewski has two retired police dogs in his home. “It is expensive. The handlers don’t want the dogs to go anywhere else, because they bond with them 8, 10 years,” Staly said. “Last year, we implemented supporting our retired K-9s, but I think that’s the exception, so this bill will correct that, take the burden off the handlers. Not only are they partners for life, but they become family members.” Staly and Killebrew said they would like to see the program expanded in the future where day-to-day costs will be covered.

dedicated to the care of retired K-9s, DeSantis said. “These K-9s are instrumental in helping keep our communities safe,” DeSantis said. “They’re put in very difficult situations. They’re not only protecting the officers, but they’re protecting the public as a whole. It is important that we ensure that they are cared for by providing the resources necessary for handlers or adopted families to afford their veterinary care.” State Rep. Sam Killebrew, who introduced the bill, compared retired K-9s to retired football players.

Palm Coast teenager Emma Stanford stood by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ side as he signed a bill to help pay for the veterinary care of retired K-9s. Stanford started the nonprofit “Emma Loves K9s” four years ago to support K-9 law enforcement in Flagler County. With Stanford, Flagler County’s K-9s and their handlers looking on, DeSantis signed Senate Bill 226 on June 10, at the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center. “We wouldn’t be able to do this without advocates like Emma,” DeSantis said. The new law will provide up to $1,500 a year in reimbursements for the medical care of retired police dogs. The state has allocated $300,000 this year for the program, which will be housed under the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and administered by a nonprofit

Land swapped for flyover Engineers to inspect splash pad damage Palm Coast may eventually build a flyover linking the east end of Whiteview Parkway to Old Kings Road, passing over I-95.

"It's a swap that in no way, shape or form could hurt us; meanwhile, we'll help somebody else."

sibility to be able to improve transportation.” The city has long considered building a flyover that would link the eastern end of Whiteview Parkway to Old Kings, passing east from the current terminus of Whiteview Parkway over Interstate 95 and Old Kings and then looping back southwest down onto Old Kings. In 2004, a strip of land was deeded to the city for that purpose about 1,000 feet south of where the Whiteview flyover would cross over Old Kings. But now a landowner, Kings Business Center LLC, owns the land on either side of the proposed flyover and is interested in building an apartment complex there. The city recently rezoned the Kings Business Center land to multifamily residential. The city is proposing to grant the developer the city’s 1.4-acre strip of land in exchange for a 1.4-acre strip of land owned by the developer immediately south of the proposed flyover crossover point. With that change, the flyover would have a tight turn as it loops down onto Old Kings, rather than a gradual one; the developer would have an uninterrupted parcel of land to build on, and the city would be able to build the flyover at a lower cost, since it would be shorter, and with fewer impacts to nearby wetlands. “It’s a swap that in no way, shape or form could hurt us; meanwhile, we’ll help somebody else,” City Councilman Eddie Branquinho said. “I don’t see a problem.” Councilman John Fanelli said it looked like the swap would lead to a more fiscally and environmentally responsible option. The City Council will vote on the proposal during a future meeting.

NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast may swap some cityowned land for land owned by a private company so that a possible city flyover wouldn’t bisect a proposed apartment complex. It’s not clear if the city will actually end up building the flyover — which would link Whiteview Parkway to Old Kings Road — but it doesn’t want to lose the chance. “Will that ever happen? We don’t know,” Palm Coast Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner said at a June 14 City Council workshop. “But we definitely don’t want to make it go away; We want the pos-

So far, the city has added automated entrance doors and security cameras and is now screening visitors as they enter the City Hall Community Wing. The city is planning to seek quotes for a safety-oriented redesign of the Human Resources and Business Assistance Center areas and expects to add a security checkpoint. The city will also evaluate lighting in the parking lot and add more security cameras there.

Palm Coast is preparing for mediation or a potential lawsuit against the contractors that built the pad at Holland Park. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Palm Coast is hiring an aquatic engineering firm to inspect the city’s damaged Holland Park splash pad and determine what caused the delamination problems that have led the city to shut the facility down for safety reasons. The $5 million pad had opened in May 2021, but has remained closed since October 2021. “We’ll be looking at construction techniques, we’ll be looking at design ... the whole package. So we want this to be a very comprehensive service,” Martin Aquatic Design & Engineering founding principal Ken Martin told City Council members during a June 7 councilman meeting. That information will be used in mediation or a potential lawsuit against the firms responsible for the splash pad’s construction. The city has sent out a notice of claim against four companies — BBI Construction Management, No Fault LLC, S&ME and Westfield Insurance Company — involved with the building of the splash pad. The city is first seeking mediation, and hasn’t yet started formal legal proceedings. But Mayor David Alfin wasn’t pleased that the city was preparing to pay an estimated $22,100 for the Martin Aquatic study on the extent of the damage. “If we’re forced to lay out the $20,000, whatever the number is, is that recoverable by us, and do we have great confidence that we’re going to get it back?” Alfin asked the city’s attorney at a June 7 council meeting. “Because I’m offended by us having to pay for that study.” The attorney said he believed the cost of the study would be recover-

able, and added that the data from the study would be necessary for the city to make its case. “The time lost for residents to use the park is probably somewhat incalculable,” Alfin said. He asked if that would be part of the city’s protest when the issue goes to mediation. “I fully agree with your comments here, and I hope we make a major effort to recover these damages,” Councilman Ed Danko said. The city’s attorney said that the loss of use is something that would be stressed in mediation, but warned that it would be difficult to quantify. It’s not yet clear if the city will fix the pad or have something else built in its place. Councilman Nick Klufas said he thought that resolving the splash pad issue should be one of the city’s top priorities. But, he said, “I’m not as confident that we’re going to have success dealing with these individuals — I mean, the one company is called ‘No Fault LLC.’” “You can’t write comedy like that; you just can’t,” Danko said.

The attorney said that the city’s next step would be determining at what point the city would file an actual suit. The city hasn’t yet gotten a commitment from the contractors on a mediation process and timeline, he said; if it can’t get one by August, the city may need to escalate. Martin Aquatic’s report will also include suggestions for what the city can do with the facility in the future, and how much various options may cost, Martin said. “We believe there are some very significant issues, and we’re already a little bit alarmed on the magnitude of the corrections it might take,” Martin said. Alfin asked if Martin was committed to the returning the splash pad to its original use. “That would certainly be an option. There may be other options,” Martin said. “That’s what I want to get to — other options,” Alfin said. The council voted unanimously to approve the contract with Martin Aquatic Design & Engineering.

Gun control advocates gather for ‘March for Our Lives’ on bridge Republicans are ‘turning the Second Amendment into something it was never intended to be,’ says Flagler County Democratic Club President Sally Hirst. DANIEL BROADHURST CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Flagler County Democratic Club President Sally Hirst organized the March for Our lives Rally on Saturday, June 11, at Wadsworth Park in Flagler Beach, to make a statement. She believes that the Republican Party leadership is “turning the Second Amendment into something it was never intended to be. They are carrying weapons of war and they have the right to carry them? It is an extreme position and somebody has to question it.” When asked about how decisive an issue it is for the American population, Hirst responded, “It’s really dividing people.” She noted that actor Matthew McConaughey’s recent speech at the White House may have changed the “talking points.” “We just need more gun owners speaking up for responsible gun ownership,” Hirst said. When asked to define “responsible gun ownership,” she said, “Responsible gun ownership does not include owning an AR15.” She is an advocate for background checks and keeping guns locked up, she said, but “I honestly think that we need to start with a ban on assault weapons.” “The AR15 does so much damage, holds more ammunition and is so much more likely to kill,” she added. “ ... When there was a ban for 10 years, fatalities went way down, and when it was lifted, it went way up. So we know it works. It’s not theory, we know it works. We know they will not do it this time, but I think that there is a bare minimum — background checks — also just banning the weapons of war.” A lone protestor on the other side of the street demonstrated his position with a sign: “Ban Democrats, not guns.’”

SUSPECT OFFERS EVIDENCE TO DEPUTY 11:18 a.m. — State Road 11 north of County Road 304, Flagler County Possession of cocaine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. A deputy stopped a car for following too closely behind the car in front of it. When the driver lowered her window, the deputy smelled marijuana. The driver admitted that she didn’t have a medical marijuana card, then “willingly presented paraphernalia items with a burnt green leafy residue, as well as a jar from the glovebox with green leafy substance within,” according to the deputy’s report. The deputy found marijuana and cocaine in the car, along with drug paraphernalia, and arrested the woman.

Belle Terre Parkway, Palm Coast Possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. A Florida Highway Patrol trooper saw a car heading eastbound at an estimated 70 mph in S.R. 100.’s 50-mph zone. The trooper conducted a traffic stop and walked up to the driver’s side window. The driver was a 31-year-old woman who had bloodshot eyes and admitted that she didn’t have a driver’s license. When the trooper asked her her name, she gave a name, but when he asked her again moments later, she gave a different name. The trooper had dispatch check law enforcement databases for both names. Both turned out to be fake. The trooper removed the woman from the car to place her in handcuffs and found that she’d been sitting on top of drug paraphernalia, and had more of it in her purse and the driver’s side door panel — including a syringe containing heroin residue. The trooper arrested her.

NOT A ‘BAD PERSON’ 10:45 p.m. — Intersection of Plaza

Grande Avenue and South Beach Street, Ormond Beach DUI. Police were dispatched to a neighborhood after receiving notice of a 32-year-old Ormond Beach woman who was passed out inside of a pickup truck on the side of the road. A witness told police that he had followed the truck for about two miles on South Beach Street and that its driver had been swerving into oncoming traffic and narrowly missing several bicyclists. When the witness approached the driver, the woman was sleeping in the driver’s seat. The officer approached the vehicle and noticed the woman was still inside with the vehicle running. The officer asked the woman to open the door, and according to her arrest report, the woman was confused and “looked as if she did not know how to open the door.” When police attempted to turn off the car, the reporting officer noticed the vehicle was still in drive as the keys could not be removed from the ignition. The woman told police that she was on her way back from dropping off her friends; she declined to speak with police, perform field sobriety exercises or submit to a

breath test. She yelled at officers as she was detained for drunk driving. Once in the patrol car, the woman repeated that she was not a “bad person” and that she had never been in trouble. She cried and stated she wasn’t drunk, according to her arrest report, but did apologize for drinking and driving. She was taken to jail.

WALK-OUT APPOINTMENT 2:05 p.m. — 800 block of Sterthaus Drive, Ormond Beach Vandalism. A dental group employee called police to report a 54-year-old Pierson man had been waiting in their lobby for 20 minutes before he was called back to the patient room, where he waited for another 40 minutes. The man became upset, went to the front desk and started yelling about “how our office sucks,” the incident report detailed. The employee said she tried apologizing for the inconvenience and tried to explain to the man that the office was short-staffed. The man kept yelling and slammed open the main door to the office, which caused slight damage to the door, a

small hole in the wall and broke the electrical outlet plate. The employee simply sought to file a report on the incident; the dental group didn’t press charges. The man was informed he would no longer be a patient of theirs and that he had been trespassed.

The man said his mother told his sister not to take it, but that his sister did anyway. She had attempted to do so in the past, he added, as the two used to live together. The man had received the air fryer from a friend and roommate who had recently died. He didn’t wish to press charges — he only wanted his sister to return the air fryer. Police attempted to contact the sister by phone and left a voicemail asking her to call them back regarding the incident.

Flagler County domestic Four charged in murders of local teens violence cases decrease

FCSO PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER

Spousal domestic violence cases in Flagler County have dropped dramatically since 2017, but improvement is still needed, Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said at a June 9 Domestic Violence Summit at the Hilton Garden Inn Town Center. “Domestic violence affects every county and city in our country,” Staly said. “The only way to tackle a problem this size is to work together as a community and attack it from every angle. ... I’m not ready to declare victory on this problem, and there is a lot of work still to be done, but there has been a 50% reduction in spousal aggravated assaults in Flagler County since 2017, when I became sheriff. I think we may have turned the corner.” Staly, in 2017, had formed a task force dedicated to preventing domestic violence; in 2018, the FCSO used a Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence grant to assign a full-time detective to domestic violence cases. Domestic violence reports and arrests declined somewhat during the pandemic, but have been creeping back up, Staly said. “We’re making good progress, with a slight dip during the pandemic,” Staly said. At the summit June 9, representatives from the task force’s five subcommittees — faith-based services, social services, education, mental health/medical services and criminal justice — spoke about the resources their organizations offered. Pastor Ed Reisetter spoke about faith-based services and how local religious communities can aid victims of domestic violence; Family Life Center Chief Executive Officer Trish Giaccone discussed the improvements at the shelter and its facilities; prosecutor Jason Lewis discussed the importance of the StateAttorneys Office’s relationship with the FCSO to build cases and gain convictions, Flagler Humane Society Executive Director Amy Wade-Carotenuto discussed signs of animal abuse that can potentially turn to domestic violence situations, and Detective Annie Conrad spoke about the use of therapy dogs, with therapy dog Dottie in attendance. The regional Child Protective Team discussed promoting the safety and well-being of Florida’s children by providing medically led disciplinary assessment for children suspected of

Beacon Center, a domestic violence shelter in Volusia County, has received a $240,000 award for the creation of program to reduce incidents of intimate partner violence and domestic homicide in Volusia County. Volusia County is currently 10th in the state of Florida for rates of domestic violence. The Volusia County Council approved the award, which comes from American Rescue Plan Act funding. Over the next four years, Beacon Center will work with community partners, law enforcement, the state attorney’s office, child welfare experts and the judicial system to create the Volusia County Domestic Violence Coordinated Community Response. The VCCCR will implement “Safe at Home,” a communitywide campaign to prevent domestic violence. Community Coordinated Response, which originated in Duluth Minnesota, is widely recognized as one of the most effective community-based strategies to addressing and preventing domestic violence. The VCCCR will meet regularly and will include a variety of professionals, including representatives from the faith community, law enforcement, prosecutors, social workers, community members and survivors.

being abused or neglected. Responding to an attendee’s question, Staly noted that Florida’s Risk Protective Order (RPO) law, also known as the red flag law, lets law enforcement officers confiscate guns from people considered a danger to others, but it has a flaw: It allows people to turn their firearms over to a friend, rather than law enforcement, for safekeeping. “There’s no guarantee that a day, or as soon as law enforcement leaves, that they don’t give them back. Now they’re not supposed to do that, but you only find that out when something bad happens,” Staly said. “So if the legislature is going to focus on the RPOs, that’s the area that I think they need to look at.” Staly said he’s a strong supporter of the Second Amendment and that the FCSO has used the RPO law conservatively. He noted the Flagler County hasn’t had a domestic violence related homicide since 2017, when it had had four in one year. “If we weren’t doing this multidisciplined approach in Flagler County, I think that we would be like the other counties in the circuit for the State Attorney’s Office,” Staly said. “... Our numbers are still down, especially from 2017 when we started this, in a community that’s growing by leaps and bounds.”

Four men have been charged with murder or attempted murder for the fatal shootings of local 16-year-olds Noah Smith and Keymarion Hall. Three of the four have been arrested; one suspect is at large. Sheriff Rick Staly announced the arrests during a June 14 news conference with State Attorney RJ Larizza and Bunnell Police Chief David Brannon at the county courthouse. Smith and Hall, he said, were not the intended targets of the shootings: Instead, one of the suspects — 18-year-old Terrell Sampson, the suspect who’s still at large — was the intended target in both shootings, which involved a dispute between two local factions . “These are good kids,” Staly said of Smith and Hall. “There’s no connection to either one of these kids, that we have been able to find out, to any one of these groups. The suspects in custody are 20-year-old Tyrese Patterson, 23-year-old Stephen Monroe and 18-year-old Devandre Williams. All three are charged with first-degree murder for Smith’s January 2022

shooting death. They are being held at the county jail. Williams is also facing charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder with a firearm for Hall’s death in May. Terrell Sampson has a warrant for his arrest for attempted seconddegree murder for Smith’s death. The shootings were the culmination of months of violence between two groups of what Staly described as “wannabe bada----.” One group is based in Bunnell; the other, which calls itself “GSO,” for “Get Stepped On,” is based in Palm Coast. Last September, Staly said, there had been an attempted drive-by shooting that had targeted Williams in Bunnell. There was another driveby attempt in December, and, in January, Monroe and other GSO members posted a violent YouTube video that showed themselves pointing guns at the camera. A few days later, there was an attempted carjacking and a robbery at gunpoint involving some of the same people. On Jan. 12, members of the Bunnell side were standing on South Anderson Street when a car operated by GSO members pulled up, taunted them and opened fire, targeting Terrell Sampson. They hit and killed Smith instead. The Bunnell Police Department opened the homicide investigation, but then turned it over to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Major Case Unit. In May, an unindicted co-con-

spirator drove GSO members Monroe and Williams to the intersection of East Booe Street and South Pine Street, where they opened fire, trying to kill Terrell Sampson. They instead shot and killed Hall. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation of the May 3 homicide of Hall from the beginning, and has since been contracted to handle all of Bunnell’s major cases. The FCSO’s Major Case Unit detectives spent over 2,500 hours and served 40 warrants investigating the two cases, Staly said. The suspects’ social media posts, including music videos, provided evidence of premeditation, he said. “These were difficult cases based on the intertwining of the suspects, relatives and friends wanting to settle disputes with street justice,” Staly said. “... I hope today’s arrests help bring closure for the families, knowing the murderers and their accomplices are being held accountable.” In addition to the four suspects charged with murder or attempted murder, deputies have arrested five men and a 14-year-old boy who are believed to be linked to the murder investigations. The adult suspects — 19-year-old Jebea Johnson, 28-year-old Edward Sampson, 19-year-old Keyshawn Davis, 20-year-old Josiah Feimster and 20-year-old Rodrick Williams — have been charged with drug charges, violent felonies or probation violation. The 14-year-old suspect was arrested earlier this month for armed robbery.

There were no injuries, according to Police Chief Matt Doughney.

Deputies investigate 11 domestic violence cases in five days

Flagler County deputies have responded to 11 domestic violence incidents since June 2, leading to multiple arrests of domestic violence offenders behind bars at the Green Roof Inn. ““Since 2017, domestic violence has decreased 52%, but the recent spike in violent domestic incidents is alarming,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “Just since June 2, deputies have responded to 11 incidents, and we have multiple violent offenders, including a career felon, behind bars for harming their significant other. A reminder to Flagler residents that we take domestic violence very seriously, and every act will be investigated. And to victims of domestic violence: There is help, and the FCSO is here for you!”

Woman killed in car crash at U.S 1 and Whiteview Parkway

A 45-year-old Palm Coast woman died the evening of June 8 in a car crash at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Whiteview Parkway, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The woman was heading south on U.S. 1 in an SUV and stopped at the light at Whiteview Parkway, preparing to turn left, but she made her turn in front of a northbound pickup truck, violating the pickup’s right-ofway, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The pickup crashed into the passenger side of the woman’s car, and the woman died. The people in the pickup truck — a 44-year-old woman who was driving, plus a 13-year-old girl and a 25-year-old man, all from Palm Coast — had minor injuries.

The pursuit left one deputy with minor injuries. Davis-Jones, who is on juvenile probation for Grand Theft, is facing multiple charges.

Radiance community’s next phase clears hurdle in Flagler The planning board approved a Future Land Use Map amendment for the development. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

The next phase of the Radiance community, formerly called Eagle Lakes, has won the Flagler County planning board’s support. The Radiance/Eagle Lakes community spans the gap between Interstate 95 and Old Kings Road in southern Flagler County. The board voted in favor of amending the Future Land Use Map designation for 202 acres expected to become part of the Radiance development from Agriculture and Timberlands to Residential: Low Density/Single Family while also limiting development to the number of units expected to generate a maximum of 7,500 annual average daily vehicle trips. The changes would cap the community at about 1,200 homes, rather than the approximately 1,800 that developer Kolter Land Partners would otherwise be able to build under the new Future Land Use Map designation. Density would be about 1.94 units per acre. “I understand that 1,200

units is a lot, and it feels like a lot,” said attorney Michael Chiumento, representing the developer at the meeting. “But when it’s spread over 611 acres, it’s less units per acre than most of the other developments, if not all of them, in the region.” The planning board had, in March, voted against a rezoning required for the development after Kolter and the county had disagreed about how many homes could be built on the southern parcel: The developer believed its entitlement under a 2005 Future Land Use Map amendment allowed for 760 new homes in addition to the 111 existing homes already there, while county’s staff interpreted the 2005 amendment as allowing only 634 new homes in addition to the existing 111. Flagler County staff’s opinion had also differed with Volusia County staff’s regarding how much traffic that development would generate, and planning board members had expressed concern about the proposed development’s density. That led the county’s planning department to try a new approach. “The approach setting the cap at trips versus dwelling units is because of the substantial public comment received as part of the (planned unit development) review related to increased vehicle trips on Old Kings Road,” a county staff document states.

“Don’t misunderstand us: We are not opposed to development. We are opposed to 1,200 units on this land.” SALLEE ARNOFF, resident, Sugar Mill Plantation

“Placing a limit on trips — whether annual average daily trips or p.m. peak hour ... is measurable, and can mitigate the ‘what-if’ argument when an age restriction is removed from a development.” At the June 14 meeting, community members opposed the changes, saying that the new community would bring too much traffic or that the development would be too dense for the area. “Don’t misunderstand us: We are not opposed to development,” said Sallee Arnoff, a resident of Sugar Mill Plantation. “We are opposed to 1,200 units on this land.” The Flagler County Planning and Development Board voted 5-1, with board member Michael Boyd dissenting, to approve the amendment, which will make the 202-acre parcel’s FLUM designation consistent with the existing Eagle Lakes land to its south. The County Commission is expected to vote on the Radiance development on July 11.

Flagler Broadcasting to host Million Dollar Food-A-Thon 100% of donations given to Grace Community Food Pantry. LYDIA HAMEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

With about 3,500 families visiting the Grace Community Food Pantry each month, Charles Silano knows that if he’s shocked at the gas prices, they are too. “It cost me $79 to fill my car up today, and it used to be $38 not too long ago,” said Silano, chairman and founder of the food pantry, on Flagler Broadcasting’s “Free For All Friday” June 3 radio show. On the show, Flagler Broadcasting President and CEO David Ayres announced that his company is partnering with the Grace Community Food Pantry for a Million Dollar Food-A-Thon. The event aims to raise $200,000 from now until Friday, July 8. Silano is connected with food suppliers that allow him to buy

$5 worth of groceries for $1. With that multiplier effect, the $200,000 will buy $1 million worth of food for local families in need. The donations will be counted live on the air from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 8. Local businesses, churches, organizations or individuals willing to give are invited to email their pledges to foodathon@ flaglerradio.com or stop by the radio station, at 2405 E. Moody Blvd., Bunnell, during the broadcast to report their donations. Checks can be made out to Grace Community Food Pantry. “Our radio stations are in tune with many sectors of Flagler County, and many people are experiencing unprecedented financial challenges just to make ends meet,” Ayres said in a Flagler Broadcasting press release. The Food-A-Thon will give every local family who signs up and qualifies a $100 box of food each week (including healthy proteins, produce, baked goods) or $400 of food per month.

“To many families, that’s the difference between making a car or rent payment, buying back-to-school supplies, or whatever they need,” Silano said in the press release. On “Free For All Friday,” Silano said, “I can make a million dollars go a long way, and I can make it last for a long time. Predicting over the fall months, we don’t know if there’s going to be a correction (in the economy). So we’re trying to prepare as best as possible to make it, and spend it wisely to make the money last as long as possible.” Flagler County Emergency Management Director Jonathan noted that with hurricane season underway, this is a perfect time for a food-athon. “Economic instability is probably the thing I lose most sleep about these days,” Lord said June 3 on “Free For All Friday.” “I’m picturing in my head this year that the average demand from the community for services after a big impact, like a hurricane, is going to be significantly higher.”

School Board proposes changes to relax student dress code If approved, the new dress code will go into effect for the upcoming school year. BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

After months of discussion and stakeholder feedback, the Flagler County School Board voted to advertise a new, relaxed student dress code as part of the Elementary and Secondary Code of Student Conduct. The Code of Conduct is brought to the board annually for updates and revisions that include changes required by state statute. The Code of Conduct, with the dress code proposal, must be advertised for 30 days before the board can approve it. Based on feedback during that time frame, changes can be made to the final document. “There’s been a lot of work put in to making these adaptive changes (to the dress code) by a lot of different people including community members, our students, staff, and I’d like to support their efforts,” board member Cheryl Massaro said at a special meeting on June 8. “I think it’s a great compromise. It’s not perfect, and it never will be, but I think it’s a great compromise, and we’re moving forward.” In separate votes, the board unani-

mously agreed to advertise the dress code recommendation for secondary and elementary school students. The district is accepting comments on its “Let’s Talk!” platform at flaglerschools.com. John Fanelli, the school district’s coordinator of student supports and behavior, said the district has already received over 300 responses from families on Let’s Talk!, with comments running about three-to-one in favor of the new recommended dress code. The proposal is based on recommendations from a dress code committee made up of parents, administrators, community groups and the two student School Board members. Opinions were also solicited outside of the committee from teachers, staff, parents and students. “It was a very diverse committee,” Fanelli said. “What you see before you with this recommended dress code is a collaboration of all of the feedback we got from all of the different perspectives that we had. There was some good dialogue about being comfortable not only in the learning environment, but being comfortable in their own bodies and being able to wear clothes that made them feel comfortable around their peers.” The School Board made changes throughout the process. The latest tweak was added during the June 7 workshop when board member Jill Woolbright suggested that a rule prohibit not only garments with slogans and statements but also graphics. The elementary and secondary dress code proposals are identical other than footwear requirements, which differ for elementary, middle and high school students.

SHIRTS Midriffs shall not be seen. Any solid color or pattern. Trademark logo is acceptable. No lace or sheer materials, including cutouts. Any Flagler Schools approved/sponsored shirt, team jersey or club shirt.

BOTTOM ATTIRE Worn securely at waist; no shorter than mid-thigh; no rips or tears above mid-thigh. All solid colors or patterned pants, shorts, skirts, skorts or jeans. Small trademark logo is acceptable. KEY GENERAL RULES No garments shall have slogans, statements or graphics. No sheer or lace top or bottom. School may alter dress code for special events. Head coverings, including bandanas, sweatbands and hoods, are not allowed inside buildings. No sunglasses in buildings. Jewelry or accessories that present safety or health hazards or cause disruptions are not allowed. Footwear determined to be unsafe for school, recess or PE classes may be prohibited by administration during the activity or class. Tattoos deemed inappropriate must be covered.

At the June 7 workshop, Board Chair Trevor Tucker questioned whether elementary school parents wanted to change the dress code. “The secondary students were the ones who wanted to rein it in. I feel

OUTERWEAR Any solid color or patterned zip-up, buttonup or over-the-head sweatshirts or sweaters are acceptable. If under layer is visible, it must be within standard dress code. No trench coats.

FOOTWEAR Footwear deemed a safety hazard (for example, wheels or slippers) are not allowed. K-5: Must wear flat, fully-enclosed shoes or athletic shoes. No flipflops, sandals, slides or Croc styles. 6-8: May wear enclosed shoes, athletic shoes, sandals with a back, strap or Croc styles. No flip-flops or slides. 9-12: All of the above are acceptable including flipflops, Croc styles, slides and sandals.

EXCEPTIONS Students who enter the district after the start of the school year have a 10-day grace period. The superintendent, in consultation with the principal, may waive the dress code on a case-by-case basis for reasons such as medical

necessity or sincerely held religious belief, documented by a physician or religious leader. Students may wear a uniform of a nationally recognized youth organization, such as the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, on regular meeting days. Student may wear a costume, special clothing or dress attire necessary for participation in a school-sponsored or extracurricular activity, provided the clothing complies with district policy.

the elementary schools were great,” he said. Board members Colleen Conklin and Janet McDonald also questioned whether elementary school parents wanted a change. Massaro suggested

that the district advertise the policy, then assess the feedback. Woolbright noted that some families are already shopping for school clothes and are eagerly waiting for a decision.

Contact lenses that alter appearance of eyes are not allowed. Students in grades 6-12 are required to wear school IDs at all times.

No backyard chickens Palm Coast is a winner allowed in Flagler Beach in water conservation The city’s lots are too small for people to keep backyard chickens, city commissioners decided. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

Flagler Beach is no place for chickens, City Commissioners decided during a June 9 commission meeting. The city set aside time at a June 9 City Commission meeting to discuss a possible ordinance change to let people keep a modest number of backyard chickens. Commissioner Deborah Phillips had requested that the city discuss the possibility after a resident spoke during a prior commission meeting to suggest the city consider allowing chickens. “Where I used to live in Chicago, we were allowed to have chickens,” Phillips said. “We could have up to three, so I had Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. That was their names. They actually became our pets.” The upside, Phillips said, was that they produced eggs; “The cons are — there’s a laundry list.” She wasn’t in favor of allowing backyard chickens in Flagler Beach. “I lived on two acres, so they were able to roam free,” she said. “Yeah, they jumped neighbors’ fences, but they always came back home. So chickens are wonderful. I mean, the eggs they produce are amazing. But I just don’t think in our environment here in Flagler Beach, with our small lot sizes, it’s something that we should change.” She’d requested the discussion out of respect for the resident who’d made the suggestion, she said. To provide an example of what’s possible, City Attorney Drew Smith showed the commission a backyard poultry ordinance from Winter Garden, which allows people to keep up

to four backyard chickens. “Lots of jurisdictions have looked at it; some have gone with it, some have not,” Smith said. The ordinance states that Winter Garden “recognizes the general trend in society to pursue a green lifestyle, to incorporate fresher products into diets, and to provide additional methods for allowing residents to engage in backyard food production though keeping and raising a limited number of chickens on single-family properties for production of eggs for the property owners’ consumption.” Commissioner Eric Coley said the backyard chicken proposal seems to come up about every two years in Flagler Beach. He agreed with Phillips that Flagler Beach’s lots are too small. “We have 50-foot lots here,” Cooley said. “No. Just no. Not on 50-foot lots. There’s a reason why when you do agriculture, they they usually stick it with a minimum of five acres. There’s reasons for that. Commissioner Jane Mealy worried about the noise chickens could cause. “People complain about dogs barking,” she said. “Well, you can bring your dog in the house. You can train your dog not to bark. But you can not train a chicken not to chirp or cluck or whatever, and don’t think you’re going to bring them in the house.”

Palm Coast participated in the 11th-annual Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation. The city of Palm Coast was one out of five national winners, and they pledged to reduce water usage by 51.5 million gallons. BRITTANY KERSHAW CITY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INFORMATION

The city of Palm Coast was named one of five national winners in the 11th-annual Wyland National Mayor’s Challenge for Water Conservation by pledging to reduce water use by 51.5 million gallons of water over the next year. The annual campaign to promote water quality and water resource resiliency ended on April 30, with mayors from 40 states vying to see whose city could be the nation’s most “water wise.” In addition to Palm Coast, the cities with the highest percentage of residents making pledges during the campaign included Miramar, Florida; Sacramento, California; Laguna Beach, California and Houston, Texas. Overall, residents around the nation made 334,603 pledges to change behaviors ranging from fixing home leaks to reducing harmful runoff into local rivers and streams. In addition to reducing overall water waste, residents from Palm Coast pledged to reduce their use of single-use plastic water bottles by 119,543 and eliminate 3,152 pounds of hazardous waste from entering watersheds. By altering daily lifestyle choices, residents also pledged to put 1,382,020 fewer pounds of waste in

landfills. Potential savings of 194 million pounds of carbon dioxide, 3.4 million kilowatt hours of electricity and $646,977 in consumer cost savings rounded out the final pledge results. “I cannot thank our community enough for taking the pledge to conserve water in Palm Coast,” Palm Coast Mayor David Alfin said. “This Water Conservation Challenge has furthered our resolve to continue taking great care in balancing smartmanaged growth while preserving and protecting the environment. Thank you all for doing your part to save money, energy, and this most precious resource.” The challenge, presented by the Wyland Foundation and Toyota — with support from the U.S. EPA, National League of Cities, The Toro Company, Hobie Surf Shops, and Petal Soaps — addresses the growing importance of educating consumers about the many ways they use water. In addition to online pledges, the campaign provides tools for residents to conduct tree plantings, storm drain stenciling projects and neighborhood cleanups to remove pollution that might otherwise find its way into storm channels. Residents from Palm Coast who took the pledge will be entered into a drawing for thousands of dollars in water-saving or eco-friendly prizes, including $3,000 toward their annual home utility bill, home irrigation equipment from The Toro Company, gift cards for online shopping at Hobie Surf Shops and eco-friendly bathroom hand soaps from Petal. A $500 home improvement store shopping spree will also be chosen from among the entire pool of U.S. participants. The campaign also asks residents to nominate a deserving charity in their community to receive a 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE. The award of this grand prize vehicle is instrumental in connecting charities and civic groups.

YOUR TOWN HISTORIC MARKER PROGRAM CELEBRATES LOCAL SUFFRAGIST To celebrate the centennial of the passing of the 19th Amendment, the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation have partnered to launch a new historic marker program commemorating the history of women’s suffrage in the United States. American Association of University Women Flagler County Branch spearheaded efforts to have local suffragist Alice Scott Abbott added to the digital map for the Nationa Votes for Women Trail, the Florida Women’s Hall of Fame, and have Abbott’s final resting place recognized and honored with a commemorative marker by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. AAUW Flagler and the Flagler County Historical Society will host a dedication ceremony to unveil the marker at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, at Espanola Cemetery, located at 3570 CR 205 in Bunnell. A reception beginning at noon will follow the dedication, at the Holden House Museum at 204 E. Moody Blvd. In addition to honoring Abbott, AAUW Flagler is working with the Flagler County Historical Society to recognize Flagler’s women who qualified and registered to vote for the historic November 1920 General Election by identifying and marking their final resting place at Espanola Cemetery. Historic markers awarded through the program are highlighting sites on the National Votes for Women Trail.

PALM COAST

Let’s bring civility back to local politics THERESA CARLI PONTIERI GUEST WRITER

I once had a judge tell me something valuable: not to confuse her kindness for weakness. The context was a decision she made that I thought was her being too soft on my courtroom opponent. She humbled me, explaining her deliberate decision-making was beyond my understanding. While I saw her actions as “being soft,” she saw them as making sure her final judgment — which was ultimately in my favor — left no room for appeal. What I know now but didn’t understand then was that strength and wisdom come in all forms, and extending kindness isn’t weak

LETTERS Don’t forget why Pontieri is no longer with FCSO Dear Editor: Theresa Carli Pontieri, a local attorney, has entered the race this year for District 2 on the Palm Coast City Council. She has joined a disheartening list of controversial candidates with questionable pasts looking to govern our city and county. Pontieri, who was hired by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office last year as their general counsel, was discovered to be the host of a social media blog called “More Than White Noise.” And the emphasis of that blog name seemed to be on the word “white,” because in the view of Sheriff Rick Staly, after noting the blog’s content, described her comments as racially insensitive, offensive and inflammatory and to such an extent that her presence at the Sheriff’s Office would create a strained relationship in our community. As a result, Staly asked for Pontieri’s resignation shortly after she was hired. Given that our well-regarded sheriff, usually a pretty measured guy, used those striking adjectives and was so worried about what he saw in Pontieri in the form of racial bias, our diverse Flagler community should have serious concerns as well. JILL STEIN Palm Coast

Why it makes sense to register Republican Dear Editor: In 22 states, at least one political party conducts open primaries, including our neighbors, Georgia and Alabama. It’s past time to open Florida’s primaries so independents and other minority party voters can vote in primary elections for candidates of their choice. I also want to state, at this time, I have no intention to return to the Democratic Party, and hopefully will have an opportunity to vote for Mike Pence in the 2024 Republican primary. As a previous moderate Democrat, I have voted for many Republicans, including in presidential and gubernatorial elections; I also have donated to a Republican running for Congress. As for ethics, I could provide a litany of unethical activities recently propagated by our governor and some of our legislators. The top two being, gerrymandering to prevent minority candidates from holding office and chastising school children for wearing protective masks. I simply want to vote for candidates who represent my moderate views instead of radicals on the far right or far left. To me, at this time

— instead, it’s a deeper form of strength. As a professional attorney, I am frequently faced with opposing counsel who need to beat their chest or throw in the occasional cheap dig to win an argument. They rely on quips over content, loudness over substance, austerity over amenability. Sadly, it’s not just my profession that displays a lack of civility— it’s also become widespread in the general public and among our elected leaders. The news and social media are full of our politicians criticizing not only those in the opposite political party, but also those who don’t agree with every opinion of theirs within their own party. Don’t get me wrong; as a conservative, I don’t agree with most of the policies of the left. But identity politics has ravaged its way through our politics and permeated its way into our general society, and it’s tearing us all apart. Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability to respectfully dis-

agree with policy without personally attacking the human that is inside each of us. As citizens, we look to leaders to be examples for us and to guide us. Whether in our churches, in our family units, at work or in politics, we yearn to look up to something positive, strong and enlightening. At our core, I believe we want to be good-hearted, we want to learn, and we want to flourish. Some of the greatest things about our country include our diversity, our freedom to express disagreement and our ability to elect leaders we feel will best represent us. So, what do we want that representation to look like? At a Palm Coast City Council meeting this last month, a topic of conversation was the commitment of our candidates to act with civility and integrity while campaigning. As campaign season is ratcheting up, this topic is more relevant than ever. As a candidate, I have agreed to sign the Statement of Ethical Campaign Practices, and I’ve posted it on my social media so that the

citizens of Palm Coast can hold me accountable. After all, it is only the citizens and oneself that politicians should be accountable to. As I navigate my way through the political arena, I am reminded of the words of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg about the late — and great — Justice Antonin Scalia: “‘We are different, we are one,’ different in our interpretation of written texts, one in our reverence for the Constitution and the instituti on we serve.” I may not agree with a political opponent or a fellow citizen, and in that way, we can remain different. But we are the same in that we are citizens, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons or daughters. We have thoughts, feelings, desires and heartaches. So, as you observe my respect and consideration for an opinion or position of the “other side,” please, I beg you — don’t confuse my kindness for weakness. Editor’s note: Pontieri is running for the District 2 Palm Coast City Council seat. All candidates and elected officials are invited to submit letters to editor@palmcoastobserver.com.

in history, it seems more important to be a moderate Republican voting in the GOP primary.

and the vendor’s claim that the fireworks had to be shipped from Illinois. The bid awarded to Mr. Ryan Allen’s pyrotechnics company sent up more red flags than a fireworks show at the Super Bowl. Previous articles in the Observer told us all that this was coming. The multiple excuses provided by Ryan Allen should have been a warning to Whitson and the Flagler Beach City Commission. The most egregious example was the fact that Mr. Allen could not provide the $5 million insurance as stipulated in the city RFP. That fact alone should have disqualified the bid. I have to commend Mayor Suzie Johnston’s diligence in asking if there were any changes to the contract before she signed it. That is a very responsible question when you are a government official. When she learned that the contract had been altered and that Mr. Whitson did not inform the commission of the alterations, he should have been fired on the spot. I must ask Mayor Johnston: This total lack of credibility on Mr. Whiton’s part was caught this time, but how many other documents or contracts have you signed that he affirmed were true and accurate? But, Madam Mayor, you, all the other city commissioners and the city attorney, in some part, are all culpable in this mess. You all knew, or should have known, that the citizens and business owners of Flagler Beach were looking forward to our first fireworks show since the pandemic. You allowed a city manager to fail to act responsibly for the benefit of those you were elected to represent. I call upon you to dismiss the city manager for cause. In conclusion, I wish to personalize the damage you have done. I invited my young granddaughter to come to Flagler Beach from Virginia Beach to watch the fireworks with us. I wanted her to see how smalltown America can come together to celebrate the birth of the greatest nation in the world. We were so excited when she accepted our invitation. Now I have to tell her that, due to gross government incompetence, there will be no fireworks show.

his checkered past and the seemingly endless controversies we endured during his last four years as county commissioner. Voters may not be aware that before entering our local political scene, Mullins failed a Georgia legislative run in 2015, garnering only 15% of votes cast, possibly in part because of a controversy that he had falsified his residency with a fake tax return and also had been caught spreading false information about a Georgia radio host, resulting in a restraining order filed and upheld against Mullins. An allegation and investigation of “revenge porn” directed at and claimed by his ex-wife surfaced around that time as well. Also emanating from his time in Georgia, he is now facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit claiming fraud and racketeering in an alleged scheme to sell invalid sporting event tickets in that state. Further, Mullins has become well known for his ill-mannered, and controversial behavior at commission meetings, as well as his crass, often hate-filled, and bullying interaction with constituents on social media. On public airways, he actually called for the beheading of liberals. He has spouted false and misleading COVID information, attempted to use his influence to fix a traffic ticket, and settled after being accused of illegal campaign contributions. Very disturbingly, in an attempt to overturn and subvert a democratic election, Mullins proudly organized and led busloads of Floridians to the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, which he described as an “army” ready to “stand and fight,” the kind of language that was enabling to the resulting violent attack on the Capitol. In 2018, the Palm Coast Observer described Joe Mullins as a “flawed candidate.” Later our well-regarded fire chief described him as a “hack” and a “wrecking ball.” Given what we now know of Mullins, these were and are, more than apt descriptions. Georgia figured out who Joe Mullins was in 2015, the Observer prophesied problems with him in 2018 and hopefully, by now Flagler County, unimpressed with his plentiful signs, has had enough.

Why we should not re-elect Joe Mullins

Support the half-cent for Flagler Schools

Dear Editor: The Flagler County landscape is once again peppered with campaign signs for the upcoming elections this year and also once again the signs for District 4 Commissioner Joe Mullins outshine other candidates by number and size. Mullins is savvy. Sadly, he knows that voters are often impressed and can be swayed by the candidate with the most campaign signs. Mullins knows well the value of advertising, and he has the wealth to easily fund the signage and his campaign. However, this year it could be that the overly abundant signage is an attempt to obfuscate

Editor’s Note: The following press release was submitted to the Observer for publication. Publisher John Walsh and Operations Manager Maureen Walsh are involved in supporting the cause as well.

A legal way to counteract ‘zombie-like’ Republicans Dear Editor: The feigned surprised response of the letter writers to Mr. Brady’s recommendation of switching party affiliation in order to vote in the primary for a candidate that has at least an outside chance of defeating the incumbent, Mr. Mullins, reminds me of the scene in the movie “Casablanca” where Captain Renault is “shocked” to learn that gambling is going on at Rick’s. One only has had to not be living in a cave somewhere to see all the lies, crooked deals, and incompetency of elected officials in our community, state and country while Mullins’ people have been in power. Add to that, Mr. Brady knows that Republican voters in all those places just mentioned march to the polls, zombie-like, to cast their ballots for whoever has a capital R by their name. In addition, the individual Brady is against led the Flagler County contingent to the Capitol for the Jan. 6, riots, and, I am sorry, but I just do not take his word that he was a little lamb there. Perhaps a wolf in lamb’s clothing. If people want something different, then legally vote for something different, and that is exactly what Mr. Brady is doing. JEFFERY C. SEIB Palm Coast

Who’s to blame for lack of July 4 fireworks? Dear Editor: On June 10, the Palm Coast Observer posted a story explaining the details regarding the Flagler Beach City Commission’s decision to cancel the beloved fireworks show again this year. It is pretty common knowledge that Independence Day is an annual event celebrated on every Fourth of July. With that in mind, one would think that those responsible for the executive management of this city would have that in their calendars, and, perhaps beginning on July 5, 2021, the bid process for 2022 would commence. According to the report in this newspaper, City Manager William Whitson told the commissioners last April that the city did not have a vendor for the fireworks show. So, my first question is, why did the city manager wait so long to put the fireworks show out to bid? As a result, the preferred vendor was already booked for July 4, 2022. My next question is, of all the various fireworks companies with excellent reputations, why did he give the bid to a company without any due diligence? The first red flag should have been the low bid of $1,000 below the commissionapproved request for proposal

YOUR NEIGHBORS The 14-year-old incoming Seabreeze High School freshman maps out a long-term plan to go pro and surf in the Olympics.

No sweat

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Delaney Spruill waited patiently on the sidelines at the Robert Strickland BMX track as her younger sister, Tracey, raced. Delaney Spruill, 14, also rides but, for her, it does not compare to surfing. She was there to support her sister, who decided to start BMX racing one year ago. “I don’t really like sweaty sports,” Spruill said. “I just don’t like to be hot. In surfing, you stay cool. It’s just better.” Spruill’s love for the sport comes naturally. Both of her parents surf. Her mom, Micah Spruill, was raised in Flagler Beach with a father who was an avid surfer. Dad Mike Spruill, was given a surfboard for Christmas when he was 12 and took it out on New Year’s Eve in his hometown of Poquoson, Virginia. It was snowing and the waterways there are fed by the Chesapeake Bay with an average January temperature of 40 degrees. Surfing remained a summer sport after that adventure, until he moved to Florida where his family currently surfs every day. For the sisters, surfing evolved organically, beginning when they were pushed on their grandfather’s old surfboards as toddlers, which quickly led to standing on the boards, then surfing waves by themselves. “First we were building sandcastles, and then all of a sudden they were body surfing out there,” Mike Spruill said. “Eventually, Delaney wanted me to bring the surfboard down to the beach.” Even though both girls enjoy surfing, 11-year-old Tracey began to show a propensity for fast-paced sports and has decided to focus on BMX racing. “One day I wasn’t liking surfing very much, and my dad, who was like a big BMXer, got me interested in BMX,” she said. “So one day we just went to the track, and I tried it out.” Delaney Spruill was 8 or 9 years

Delaney Spruill will be starting her freshman year at Seabreeze High School this fall in the AICE program and hopes to join the surf club.

old when she told her parents that she wanted to compete in the annual Tommy Tant Memorial Surf Classic in Flagler Beach. She was the only girl surfer and held her own against the male competitors. “And that was it,” her mom said. “She loved it.” Following her first competition, she participated in the Gnarly Charlie Surf Series for two years, which is geared toward teaching surfers to be excellent competitors and be confident as they progress to different levels of competitive surfing. She has since branched out to compete in the Eastern Surfing Association and National Scholastic Surfing Association events. Next on her agenda

is to be invited to the USA Prime, which is an Olympic developmental league. Last year, she was invited as an alternate. Delaney Spruill was the EcoPro 2021 Women’s Open Champion, EcoPro 2021 Girls 17U Champion, ESA NCFL 2021 Girls 16U Champion, ESA NCFL 2021 Girls 18U Champion and the May Day Memorial 2021 Women’s Pro Champion, to name a few. This year, she was the Flagler Surf Series 2022 Women’s Pro Champion. “I’m trying to get it all done and go pro in my 20s because that is a prime time to go to the Olympics,” she said. “That would be really cool to surf in the Olympics.”

Tracey “Lulu” Spruill has decided to focus on BMX racing instead of surfing. Sisters Tracey “Lulu” Spruill and Delaney Spruill have been surfing since they were 3 years old.

New kicks on the block Publix associates have a ball raising money for charity with kickball game BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Kickball is usually a children’s game. But adults were playing the classic playground sport June 8 at Holland Park. Associates from seven Publix stores competed in a kickball tournament to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. Publix annually raises funds for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. This year’s campaign ran from June 1 to June 12. Josh Roberts, customer service team leader at the Island Walk store, wanted to add a team-building aspect to the campaign. So, he organized the kickball tournament in which associates from the five Flagler County Pub-

lix stores and two St. Johns County stores competed. Associates from the seven stores contributed a total of $800 to the Children Miracle Network, said Beach Village store manager Brandon Goldberg. Goldberg’s store won the tournament, and the $800 was credited to the store’s fund raising total for the campaign. “These were just associates’ donations,” Roberts said. “It was a good way to get our stores together.” Emma Swearingen scored the winning run on a Sam Petrin sacrifice fly to give the Beach Village store a 5-4 victory in the championship game against the St. Augustine Moultrie store. Swearingen, a rising senior at Flagler Palm Coast High who plays soccer for FPC and Florida Elite Soccer Academy, “was our ace in the hole,” a Beach Village associate said.

The Flagler Beach store won the title.

Flagler Auditorium, CRT collaborate on ‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’ Auditorium Director Amelia Fulmer hopes to present more educational shows in the future. BRENT WORONOFF STAFF WRITER

Conjunction Junction, what’s your function? Hooking up words and phrases and clauses. The lessons of “Schoolhouse Rock!” are as pertinent today as they were 40 years ago. And the melodies and lyrics are just as catchy and memorable. The musical “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” will be staged at the Flagler Auditorium on June 22 and June 23 in collaboration with the City Repertory Theatre. “We’re good friends with (Flagler Auditorium Director Amelia Fulmer). She’s always trying to help community arts,” said CRT Artistic Director John Sbordone. “‘Schoolhouse Rock Live!’ is our first attempt at an ongoing collaboration. We’re trying to start a new tradition.” Fulmer said students used to be bused to the auditorium for educational shows, but with bus driver shortages and testing conflicts, the auditorium has not presented a family show in several years. So, the auditorium, along with CRT, decided to present a summer show for families and invite local summer camps to the matinee. Fulmer said over 400 campers will get to attend the 1 p.m. matinee on June 22 in the 1,000-seat auditorium. “Part of our mission is arts education,” she said. “My concern is that unless students are involved in a production, they’re not getting exposed to live theater.” Tickets are $15 for the matinee and the 7 p.m. shows on June 22 and June 23. A family pack of four or more tickets costs $10 for each ticket. “We really need the community to come out and support this endeavor for the evening shows,” she said. “Everyone should have a great time singing old favorites like, “I’m Just a Bill” and “Conjunction Junction.” “It’s something family friendly, fun and upbeat,” Sbordone said of the show. “It’s a joyous nostalgia and new for the kids.”

"Part of our mission is arts education. My concern is that unless students are involved in a production, they're not getting exposed to live theater."

SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! When: 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. June 22; 7 p.m. June 23. Where: Flagler Auditorium Tickets: $15; family pack (four or more tickets) $10 each. Go to flaglerauditorium.org or crtpalmcoast.com

Instead of hiring a professional out-of-town production, Fulmer reached out to the City Repertory Theatre. CRT and the Flagler Auditorium are doing the show in partnership and sharing the costs, Fulmer said.

“The City Repertory Theatre is absolutely top-notch,” said Fulmer. “We feel the actors they bring are every bit as good as a national professional show.” Sbordone is directing the show. Beau Wade is the assistant director, Laniece Fagundes is the musical director, and CRT co-founder Diane Ellertsen is assisting with choreography. The cast includes Phillipa Rose, Junine Johnson, Nick Sok, Rebecca Davis, Michael Sheehan and Elizabeth Post. Fulmer said some of the City Repertory Theater’s actors learned their craft at the Flagler Auditorium or at Matanzas High’s Pirate Theatre. She remembers Fagundes performing at the auditorium when she was in fifth grade and “belting out the song,

"It's something family friendly, fun and upbeat. It's a joyous nostalgia and new for the kids." JOHN SBORDONE, City Repertory Theatre artistic director

‘Dancing in the Streets.’” “I love that the auditorium gave her the chance to perform on a large stage under the spotlight,” Fulmer said. Fulmer said Flagler Auditorium has hosted several free shows this past season and several others that have raised money for Flagler Schools and community organizations. For example, “Ticket to the Moon: The Electric Light Orchestra Experience” on June 25, will feature the Flagler Youth Orchestra and benefit Flagler Schools performing arts

programs. But she would like to see the auditorium also get back in the business of doing more educational programming. She hopes any revenue from the “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” show could be used for another educational show in the future. Sbordone is looking forward to more collaborations. “We love to collaborate and try different things for the community,” he said. Email brent@palmcoastobserver. com.

Flagler County at a crossroads: community or concrete jungle? May 2022 is National Historic Preservation Month. ED SIARKOWICZ PRESIDENT, FLAGLER COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

I first moved to Florida in 1992. Royal Palm Beach was a small community nestled in the woods and swamps between bustling West Palm Beach and a place called Loxahatchee, which was as “country” as country could get. The Palms West Chamber of Commerce was the driving force behind the promotion and development of the community. They had some very smart and talented people working for them who were driven to promote the area — attracting businesses, building the economy, and promoting recreational areas. In 1995 I moved to St. Augustine. South Florida was just too hot for my New York blood, and St. Augustine had a sentimental atmosphere about it since it was a destination for childhood vacations. Some years later, I began hearing from friends that I had made at the Palms West Chamber of Commerce. “We’re thinking of relocating; how’s St. Augustine?” they all asked. After telling them about history, character and ambiance, I asked the question, “Why are you wanting to relocate?” Their collective answers still frustrate me to this day. “Royal Palm Beach isn’t what it once was. The trees are all gone. It’s one strip mall after another with no sense of character. The charm is gone, the population has exploded and crime has risen. This isn’t what we moved here for. It’s time to find another spot to call home.” The first thing that came to my mind was locusts. They descend, they take what they want, and when their resources are decimated, they move on to the next location, leaving behind a wake of destruction in an area that will never again be the same. The history of Flagler County is as old as the Earth itself. Prehistorically, wooly mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, smilodons (sabre toothed tigers) and armadillos the size of a Volkswagen Beetle crashed through some of the same foliage you see growing in your backyard. Megalodon sharks swam in the oceans. They snacked on great white sharks. We know we have these things because their remains have been found along creek banks, in C Section canals, and in piles of dirt coming out of holes dug for reten-

tion ponds, swimming pools and fence posts. We are not the first humans here. Native Americans hunted, fished, collected, cooked their food, and buried their dead here as early as 15,000 years ago. We know they were here because their spear points, arrowheads, pottery and burial mounds have been found in the same locations as pre-historic creatures. Just two years ago, a spear point the size of the palm of your hand was brought to the Historical Society. It came out of a St. Johns Park fence post hole — still razor sharp. It was dated 5,000-7,000 years old. ITT and Garfield were not the first modern settlers of our area. What is now Flagler County started off as the agricultural commodity breadbasket of the Spanish military fort in St. Augustine in the 1500s. Pedro Menendez de Aviles led a reconnaissance party down our coquina ridge, just east of Old Kings Road, in September 1565. He was looking for French sailors that had taken habitation in local Native American villages after being shipwrecked by a hurricane enroute to attacking St. Augustine. We have a 58-yearold urban legend of a group of High School boys spotting “conquistador armor” in Graham Swamp that we’re working on validating. King George III’s chief cartographer, Johann Wilhem Gerard De Brahm, came through our area in 1765 mapping features, recording resources and making friends with indigenous people after England took Florida over from Spain. Hewitt’s 1770 sawmill and dam cut the lumber to build the houses that sheltered 20,000 British loyalists in St. Augustine who had fled the northern 13 colonies during the American Revolution. With the construction of Kings Road from Cowford (Jacksonville) to the Turnbull Colony (New Smyrna Beach), plantations sprouted up growing indigo, sea island cotton and sugar cane. Enslaved African Americans were brought here by the British during what was a horrific time in history. Their collected stories of life, death, escape and expertise in carpentry, cattle rearing, rice growing and sugar production chemistry echo throughout our lands and forests. These stories need to be told by their descendants to teach modern day people layers of history so that that history will never be repeated. We feel we have enough evidence from Bulow Plantation to have the Gullah Geechie historic corridor extended into Flagler County. Native American tribes, having

had enough of Europeans by the 1830s, began burning their plantations, which led to the Seminole Wars, which led to the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears. Osceola traveled through our lands en route to his capture under a white flag of truce near Fort Peyton, St. Augustine. The Civil War, land booms of the early 1900s, women’s voting rights, racial injustices, agriculture and the ITT era — our history is unending in its good and bad. All are teachable lessons that can educate youth and their families and enrich the community. The past needs to be brought to the present. Flagler County is at a crossroads. We are currently undergoing one of the largest development booms in our history. Do we plow it under, or do we search for artifacts through archaeologists that can tell the story of our local heritage and incorporate history kiosks into business districts? Do we clear-cut it all, or do we preserve historic green spaces that are tax deductible to developers through such organizations as the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation? Do we make our money building anesthetic cookie-cutter commu-

nities and strip malls, or do we consult with archaeological surveys and historians to discover not what we can get away with, but how we can enrich the community and create opportunities for educational experiences that tie into existing walking and biking trails? Do we become known for our beaches only and have to shut tourism down when the next hurricane closes A1A for eight months, or do we capitalize on all Flagler County has to offer? Do we fight our growing pains out on social media where nothing does anything to make a difference, or do we show up at City Council and County Commission meetings fired up to let our elected officials know what’s on the minds and hearts of their constituents? Are we a house divided and falling, or are we united in maintaining an agreed-upon quality of life? Flagler County is at a crossroads. Will your actions or inactions now turn this community into the place you’ll want to live 20 years from now, or will you go looking for a new “quaint” place to retire to when Flagler County has lost its curbside appeal? Decide now on what tomorrow will look like.

“At the outset I invite you to think of American history in quite a new way: not as a series of 'lessons' with dates and names and events to be memorized and 'recited' upon, but as a story of the past which will help you to understand the world in which you are living.” David Saville Muzzey, Gouverneur Morris Professor, Columbia University, 1945

Founded by Flagler Palm Coast High School graduate Eryn Harris in 2020, the family-friendly Flagler Pride festival was held June 11 in Town Center, followed by the Pulse memorial vigil, on June 12 in Flagler Beach. Though Flagler County is known as politically conservative, there is a thriving LGBTQ+ community, Harris said, and she wanted to provide spaces to show that the community does exist here. Erica Rivera joined the Flagler Pride team for this year’s events and has a history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community of Flagler County. She was among those who originally brought a Pulse Memorial Vigil to Flagler County in 2016, as well as creating an adult social once a month at Moonrise Brewing Co. featuring LGBTQ+ talent and events. “Surprisingly, we have never had any counterprotests at any of our events, although we have had occasional Facebook posts taking jabs at us from local political figures,” Harris said. “Flagler Pride hosts multiple events every month, but the family-friendly festival in June is always our biggest event of the year.

Jonathan Gambrell and Vincent Neugent said, “Having a Pride festival in Flagler County is more important now than ever. Pride is more than one group; this is everyone.”

“We are always sure to hold a Pulse memorial vigil walk each year on the same day it happened in 2016, June 12, remembering the 49 lives lost to gun violence in one of our neighboring counties. So while the festival doesn’t tie into Pulse, we do have a Pulse event the next day. “We are extremely glad to see recognition from Florida’s government in remembrance of the 49 people we lost that day.”

Kristy Dunn, director of marketing and membership for the Palm CoastFlagler Regional Chamber of Commerce, also addressed the crowd. “As an ally to the community, I applaud you for your courage, for your authenticity,” said Dunn, who also is a certified Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) facilitator for inclusive leadership, and holds an MBA in management and strategy. “You’re willing to stand on who you are. ... That matters.”

THE FINE ARTS SELF PORTRAIT Gallery500, a contemporary fine art gallery at One Daytona, will be hosting an artist reception on Thursday, June 16 from 5 to 7 p.m., to meet artist Brandon Santiago. Raised in Palm Coast with Puerto Rican and Jamaican roots, Santiago returned home after studying graphic design and studio art at University of South Florida. Santiago has been an artist most of his life, but it wasn’t until high school that he began to take art seriously and found the mentorship of expressionist painter J,J, Graham, co-founder of Salvo Art Project in Bunnell. Santiago says graphic design taught him color theory and composition. Studio art allowed him to experiment. His work is based on split-second decision making. As an abstract expressionist, he creates intuitively, allowing his feeling in that moment to reveal itself in his work. He will often paint live, allowing those around him to impact his work.

THE FINE ARTS BEWARE OF THOSE WITH A COLD HEART This acrylic painting, which is 16-by-20 inches, is by Palm Coast artist Peter Cerreta. “I was trained in the classical approach to art at Pratt in the 1950s,” he wrote. “However, the tenants of abstract expressionism allow me to distort and merge realism and abstraction to give visual form to a human attitude/behavior.” In this case, the human attitude he chose as his subject is empathy. “This painting is raw, harsh,” he wrote. “The character is perhaps narcissistic, and empathy isn’t a characteristic in the subject’s personality.” Cerreta told the Ormond Beach Observer in 2020 that he paints women most of the time, ever since the death of his mother and his daughter.

SUNLIGHT AND SHADOWS Working primarily in oil and cold wax on board and canvas, Cathryn “Kathy” Nettles’ paintings are a fusion of abstraction and realism. A former musical theater actor living in England, she is a self-taught artist who “explores the vibrational aspects of the sounds within her local landscapes,” according to her website. This piece, “Sunlight and Shadows,” came about when a Palm Coast resident who collects Nettles’ work asked her to create a new painting based on photographs of Whispering Meadows Ranch, in Flagler Beach. The painting will be auctioned to benefit the ranch. Nettles said she looks forward to visiting Palm Coast one day. When starting a painting, she typically begins by making notes and drawings in nature, then applying paint to paper or canvas in the studio. “The layers of paint that are applied, rubbed off, scratched in, smoothed on represent to me the layers of time: past, present and future,” she wrote on her website. “Every moment is made up of all the moments that came before, and the painting is an energetic bridge between people, time, place, and memory.”

City Council OKs 251-unit complex in Town Center The community, called Wilton Palm Coast, will consist of five apartment buildings and a pool courtyard and amenity area. JONATHAN SIMMONS SENIOR EDITOR

A 10.2-acre parcel of vacant land in Town Center may become the site of a 251-unit apartment complex. The Palm Coast City Council voted 4-1, with Councilman Eddie Branquinho dissenting, to approve a master site plan for the Wilton Palm Coast apartment complex during a June 7 meeting. The five-building complex, by Crest Residential, will be on the south side of Brookhaven Drive. It will join other nearby apartment complexes as part of the Town Center Development of Regional Impact. One of the buildings will be four stories, two will be three stories, and two will be two stories. The maximum building height will be 42 feet. “We’ve taken successful design elements from our other Florida coastal projects and tried to incorporate them here,” said Bentley Nelson, a principal at Crest Residential. Crest, based in Birmingham, Alabama, has apartment communities

BIZ BUZZ ADVENTHEALTH STUDIES ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AdventHealth is launching a groundbreaking international research study which is now available to Central Florida residents through a partnership with the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative, an organization leading an unprecedented global response to Alzheimer’s disease. This pilot study uses online digital cognitive assessment tools and a new blood test with the goal of earlier detection of the disease, allowing at-risk patients to begin treatment earlier. Those interested in participating may visit BrainHealthFlorida.com where they will be asked to take a short online cognitive assessment which uses images of playing cards. Those who qualify following the online assessment will be scheduled for a blood test to determine the presence of a specific biomarker that could help identify early Alzheimer’s. To qualify, residents must be 65 years of age or older and have not been diagnosed with dementia. “We know the main risk factor in developing dementia, and specifically Alzheimer’s disease, is age,” said Dr. Valeria Baldivieso, a geriatrician who

in New Smyrna Beach, St. Augustine, Vero Beach and Santa Rosa Beach. But Branquinho, who has consistently opposed proposals for new apartment complexes, was concerned about the complex’s density. “This is a perfect example as to why I am against this type of project,” Branquinho said, before pointing out that some units could be as small as 671 square feet. “We’re going to be bringing investments from Birmingham, Alabama — not to the betterment of Palm Coast; it’s

for the interest of the people that are investing here.” The complex will have three-bedroom units averaging 1,365 square feet, two-bedroom units averaging 1,115 square feet and one-bedroom units averaging 735 square feet. The smallest will be 671 square feet; the minimum allowed in the city is 650 square feet. Councilman Ed Danko asked what the rent would be. Crest Residential representative Bentley Nelson said rent would be market rate.

Danko said that when he was a young professional just getting started in Washington, D.C., “I was grateful that there were apartments that I could rent until I moved up and made a little more money, and then bought my first house.” A handful of people spoke during the meeting’s public comment period to oppose the proposal, saying the density would be too high. The city’s attorney said that the density level has already been set for that parcel, and that council members’ task during the June 7 meeting

focuses on senior memory care and well-being at AdventHealth and one of the investigators in the trial. “Many people in our older population think that cognitive changes are normal. But there is a difference between what is normal and what might be a sign of something more serious. It’s so important to have early detection so we can work with patients to take steps to keep dementia from progressing.” More than 580,000 Floridians over 65 are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and 806,000 people in the state are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The number of people with Alzheimer’s in Florida is expected to grow to 720,000 by 2025. AdventHealth Orlando is one of seven sites across the globe conducting similar trials, the goal of which is to measurably increase rates of timely and accurate diagnosis. “We’re excited to bring access to this kind of groundbreaking care and research to our community,” said Dr. Steven R. Smith, AdventHealth’s chief scientific officer. “The combination of this kind of research and AdventHealth’s world-class brain health physicians aims to improve the lives of people struggling with cognitive issues through early intervention.” Prior to the public launch, the trial was available through referrals from primary care practitioners.

“We are finding enormous appetite from health care systems around the world to prepare for future Alzheimer’s treatments, but first we must help health care systems adapt to early detection,” said George Vradenburg, founding chairman of the board of Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative.

was limited to determining whether the development’s master site plan met the requirements of the city’s and development code. Alfin noted that Town Center now has university students attending classes through University of North Florida or Jacksonville University, but lacks student housing. “In order for our university system to grow here locally, we obviously will have to provide housing for students,” he said. He added that it’s also time to revisit the city’s comprehensive plan, which deals with density issues. “It should be our job to review it so that we take advantage of all that we have enjoyed with lifestyle during the last 21-and-a-half years, but also look forward to the next 20 years to be to ensure that the city will be sustainable for all of our residents,” he said. Branquinho noted at one point that if the city denied the developer’s proposal without legal grounds, “we’re going to get sued.” But he still voted against it. The complex will have a pool/ courtyard, athletic lawn, dog park and an observation deck and kayak launch at a stormwater lake. The four-story building will have an integrated clubhouse on the ground floor. The city’s planning board had voted 5-0 in favor of the apartment complex on May 18.

STATE’S CITRUS PRODUCTION AT AN EIGHT-DECADE LOW With the state pouring millions of dollars into research and marketing efforts, Florida’s citrus industry is approaching the end of the 2021-2022 growing season with its lowest production since around the start of World War II. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report Friday, June 10, that estimated Florida growers will fill 44.75 million boxes of oranges, grapefruit and specialty crops during the soonto-end season, down more than 22% from the previous season. Oranges make up the vast majority of the estimate, 40.7 million boxes, while grapefruit production is estimated at 3.3 million boxes and specialty crops are at 750,000 boxes. Growers have pointed to a winter freeze hindering production this year. But in an initial forecast for the season, issued in October, the federal agency estimated growers would fill 51.7 million 90-pound boxes, which would have been the lowest output since the 1941-1942 season. The industry has been on a downward trend for two decades because of issues such as residential and commercial development, foreign imports and an incurable bacterial disease known as citrus greening.

Wine o’clock: Beach + Vine now in OBTS Wine bar owners Kathy Murphy and Robert Suarez seek to build community in Ormond-by-the-Sea. JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Community. Connection. Curiosity. Conversation. These are the four C’s — the four values — on which Kathy Murphy and Robert Suarez have built their new wine bar, Beach + Vine. Located at 1458 Ocean Shore Blvd. in Ormond-by-the-Sea, the wine bar is the couple’s first. Beach + Vine had a soft opening in mid-April, and a grand opening was celebrated on May 26. “Right from the very beginning when we started Beach + Vine, we described it as a place for coffee, wine and conversation,” Murphy said. “The conversation part is ultimately what we want to inspire — people coming in from the community or you know, passing through and just being comfortable coming in to connect with other people and have good conversation. Murphy has had a passion for wine for a long time, she said. She’s

Kathy Murphy says patrons shouldn’t be shy about asking questions and seeking to learn more about the wines they offer.

thought about opening a wine bar for the last 10 years when she started participating in educational wine tastings and trips to California and Italy. Murphy and Suarez, who are engaged, have welded their interests in Beach + Vine, as Suarez, a trained barista, has a love for coffee. He’s always wanted to open a business of his own as well, and when the opportunity arose, Murphy left her job in corporate human resources and the couple decided to give their dream a go. Wine tasting is an experience, Murphy said. Having lived for a time in Cincinnati, Ohio, she remembers a wine shop owner that operated out of a Jungle Jim’s International Market location. He would host wine tastings and tell stories, and Murphy was hooked. Hearing someone talk passionately about wines and expand the range of wines she was trying made an impression on her. “It’s really interesting when you actually are at a winery or you talk to the winemaker, or you meet the family that’s behind it,” she said. “When you know the stories, the wine actually tastes all that much better.”

She and Suarez moved to Ormondby-the-Sea two years ago from South Florida after they fell in love with the community. They researched the area by exploring different bars and wine bars and Murphy said they saw a need for Beach + Vine once they did. They are also working with local artists and have begun talking about the opportunity to rent their space for private events. Murphy said they are looking forward to further becoming a part of the community. “We want to be a place where people are not afraid to come in and learn, or just try new wines,” Murphy said. “... I’m happy to talk to people through what’s on the shelves. They should never be afraid to come in and ask questions, because we want it to be very sort of unassuming, welcoming and certainly approachable.” Beach + Vine is open 2-9 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays, and 2-9 p.m. on Mondays.

CRUMBL COOKIES BRINGS A SWEET NEW ADDITION TO ONE DAYTONA One Daytona will soon welcome Crumbl Cookies to the entertainment and lifestyle complex. Located between Painting with a Twist and Crab Knight at Shoppes at One Daytona, the dessert destination focuses on developing unique and delicious cookies inspired by popular flavors, foods and desserts of all kinds — from pies to cakes to candies. Details regarding the opening date will be released as the construction process progresses. Co-founded by cousins Jason McGowan and Sawyer Hemsley, Crumbl Cookies opened its first store in Logan, Utah, in 2017, and in the beginning, only served milk chocolate chip cookies for takeout and delivery. Since then, Crumbl has expanded to more than 400 bakeries nationwide, making it the fastest-growing cookie company in the nation. The franchisee of the new Crumbl location in Daytona also owns several Florida locations including Lake Mary and a new location coming soon to Deland. Crumbl invites guests to see exactly

what it takes to make their delicious treats as they can watch cookies being mixed, balled, baked and dressed in real-time. Another unique aspect to the Crumbl experience is a rotating menu concept. Each week, the menu rotates to feature four to five different specialty flavors to taste and enjoy, while the fan-favorite milk chocolate chip is a permanent menu feature. Visit www.onedaytona.com.

Soccer players of all ages from Florida and South Georgia traveled to Palm Coast on June 11 for the 3v3 Challenge North Florida Regional Championship. The Inter-United Soccer Club hosted 69 teams in 10 divisions in the Challenge Sports event at the Indian Trails Sports Complex. This was the 21st year the event has been in Palm Coast. The divisions ranged from under-8 boys to men and women. Each team could have as many as six players with three players on the field at one time. All three players play field positions. There are no goalkeepers. The fields are 30 yards by 20 yards for age U6, U7 and U8 teams and 30 yards by 40 yards for U9 and above. The goals are 8 feet wide and 4 feet high. The tournament was a qualifier for the Challenge Sports National Championship on July 28-31 at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports. The Freestylers 08 of Palm Coast finished second in the Under-16 Girls Second Division. The team had already qualified for nationals in a previous tournament. The Freestylers had a 3-2 record in this event with both losses coming to the Goats, a team from St. Johns County. The Goats scored 12 goals in all five of their games. If a team scores 12 goals, the game automatically ends. The Freestylers were the only team to score against the Goats, losing 12-2 in pool play and 12-3 in the championship. The Freestylers won 4-3, 11-3 and 6-1 in their other games. “This was more of a prep for us,” said Freestylers coach Beto Aguilar. “(The Goats are) probably the top team in the state of Florida. For us, it was a learning experience. Most of our girls have been playing (3 on 3) for two years.” This was the third year that InterUnited has hosted the tournament. “I was a director at Challenge Sports, so we’ve been doing this tournament for a long time,” said Inter-United president Jim Powell. “I never thought we’d be living here and hosting the tournament.” Powell and his wife, Jennie, moved their club from Apopka to Palm Coast three years ago. Jim Powell said all of Inter-United’s proceeds from the tournament will go to the club’s IU Academy in Kenya, a school for kindergarten through third-grade students who live in an impoverished area near Nairobi. “Every year we add another grade to the school,” he said.

He teaches long driving on the side when he’s not helping his wife, Stacy, with their salon, Sparkle Hair Boutique. But Grum has made a name for himself in hockey, even if he hasn’t always used that name in his hockey pursuits. Grum was inducted into

the New Jersey High School Ice Hockey Hall of Fame last month. Billy and Stacy, and their daughter, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Communications Specialist Astasia Grum, all attended the induction ceremony in West Orange, New Jersey, on May 1. After a lifetime of playing and coaching hockey, Grum, 62, said the honor means “being a good citizen and having discipline and respect pays off in the long run.” In his junior and senior years, he led Livingston, New Jersey, High School to the state finals and led the state in scoring. He was named MVP of the New Jersey Scholastic Hockey League. He also won the Junior National Championship with the New Jersey Rockets in 1978, scoring the winning goal. He went on to play in eight pro and semi-pro leagues. He scored 46 goals and had 77 points for the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League in 1979-80. He also played on the USHL All-Star team during a tour of Europe and led the team

in scoring. He led Canton College to the Junior College National Championship in 1980-81 and was the top scorer in the national tournament. Grum met Stacy while playing for his final team, the Las Vegas Aces of the semi-pro Pacific Southwest Hockey League, before hanging up his skates in 1995. He returned to New Jersey, giving private lessons and coaching coach club hockey. He also coached the Governor Livingston High School team, taking the team to the state playoffs for the first time. His coaching career ended when he was tripped from behind on the ice and suffered a neck injury. BILLY ‘WHITE SKATES’ JOHNSTON

Grum was a talented athlete who could kick a football out of the end zone as a middle schooler, he said. But his favorite sport was hockey. At age 6, he pulled a pair of old, white figure skates from a basement shelf and jumped on the ice of a frozen brook behind his house. His father said, “You better make those white skates fly.” At 6 feet, 220 pounds, he was deceptively fast on the ice, and showed what he could do in two NHL camps. In 1982, he led the New Jersey Devils in preseason scoring in exhibition and intrasquad games. As a free agent, he said he didn’t make the team because of politics. Front office personnel didn’t want to cut high-priced talent for a local kid.

Wishing you and your family all the very best!

"(The Hall of Fame honor means) being a good citizen and having discipline and respect pays off in the long run." BILLY GRUM

“Nobody from New Jersey at that time got close to the NHL,” Grum said. He practiced with the New York Rangers the following year but didn’t get invited to camp. In 1985, he suffered a displaced compound fracture in his left arm after colliding with a goalpost. Doctors told him he would never play again. With enough screws and metal plates in his arm to build a washing machine, Grum called Minnesota North Stars assistant general manger Glen Sonmor and told him he was the coach for the Newark Sabres, and he had a kid on his team by the name of Billy Johnston “who could outskate, outscore and outfight anyone.” Billy Grum’s name was known in hockey circles by this time, and so was his injury. But not many people knew him by face, so he used his mother’s maiden name. A few months later, he walked into

the North Stars’ front office and told Sonmor’s secretary that he was Billy Johnston, and he wanted to speak with Sonmor. Sonmor remembered the name, spoke with him and worked him out with some University of Minnesota players. The assistant GM was impressed and offered “Johnston” a spot in training camp. “In my first scrimmage, I played on a line with (firstline players) Keith Acton and Brian Lawton, and I scored three goals,” Grum said. Having trouble finding skates that fit, Grum ordered a pair of white skates, and began to be known as Billy “White Skates” Johnston, a play off the nickname of then-NFL wide receiver, Billy “White Shoes” Johnson. Defenseman Randy Velischek was later quoted as saying, “Nobody knew who he was, but he wasn’t bad. If they hadn’t had a surplus of forwards under contract, I

think they would have signed him and sent him somewhere, because he was big and fast and could shoot the puck.” But about the same time as Grum decided to come clean, reporters began researching him and discovered who he was. “Somebody doesn’t just walk onto an NHL team and lead them in scoring,” Grum said. Grum said Sonmor told him what he did took a lot of guts, but they couldn’t take a chance on Grum re-injuring his arm. “I just had bad luck. But it led me to give back to all the kids (as a coach),” Grum said. After his coaching career ended, he looked up legendary golfer Moe Norman, known as “Pipeline Moe” for his accuracy and ball-striking ability. Grum became a follower of Norman’s single-axis swing. “That’s what got me to Florida,” Grum said. “To see Moe Norman.” Grum still teaches golf with a hockey twist. “Putting is like passing a hockey puck,” he said.

LEARNING FROM LEGENDS

Former FPC wrestler Michael DeAugustino won the prestigious N-Club Performance Award at Northwestern University’s graduation ceremonies last weekend. DeAugustino was one of two Northwestern male athletes to be presented with the award in recognition of spectacular and outstanding athletic performance by a graduating senior. DeAugustino is a two-time college All-American wrestler. He overcame a hand injury this season to finish fourth at the NCAA championships in the 125-pound class. He is expected to return next year for a fifth season.

MATANZAS FOOTBALL CAMP The Pirates Take Everything

Seabreeze rising senior Sam "Sosa" Gonzalez was quarterback Blake Boda's backup last season. Gonzalez is slated to play wide receiver this fall, and Boda's recent announcement that he is transferring to Cocoa High won't change that. "We might have a package (for Gonzalez) at quarterback," said Seabreeze coach Pat Brown. "But we still want to move him around at the receiver position. He's probably the best athlete on the team." Boda passed for 2,021 yards and 18 touchdowns with four interceptions for the Sandcrabs last year. At Cocoa, he replaces Davin Wydner,

who passed for 3,529 yards in leading the Tigers to the Class 4A championship game. Boda, like Wydner before him, will play just one season for the Tigers. Brown said the rising senior's transfer did not surprise the Seabreeze coaching staff. "It wasn't shocking to me. We sat down with Blake," Brown said. "I always tell kids, if they feel like a situation is better for them, there's no problem, no ill-will. I hope it works out for him." Brown said there will be an open competition for the quarterback spot with rising sophomore Hayden Hayes, Boda's projected backup,

showing the most promise in spring.

Kids Football Camp for kindergartners through sixth graders will run July 18-21, 9 a.m. to noon each day at Matanzas High. Campers will learn new skills, participate in

New Flagler Palm Coast baseball coach Kyle Marsh has had the opportunity to see how two of the greatest high school baseball coaches in area history operate. Marsh played at Spruce Creek High School for Johnny Goodrich, who won 347 games in 20 seasons with the Hawks. Last season, he was an assistant at FPC for Anthony Campanella, who won 456 games in 29 seasons with Seabreeze and FPC. Marsh was named the Bulldogs' head coach less than three weeks after Campanella announced his retirement. As a player, Marsh had one of the best seasons as a pitcher in Volusia County history. He compiled an 11-0 record with a 0.35 ERA as a sophomore in 2012 in leading the Hawks to their only state championship. Marsh threw a perfect game against Sanford Seminole in the district semifinals and then tossed a 1-0 no-hitter against FPC in the regional quarterfinals a week later. But he shattered his right kneecap playing pickup basketball as a junior and transformed into more of a hitter than a pitcher in college. He played two seasons each at UCF and Embry-Riddle, batting over .300 throughout his college career. While still at Embry-Riddle, Marsh founded travel team Florida Extreme Baseball. He

The two new booths will be custom-made, assembled by Ventilation Solutions and panels supplied by Global Finishing Solutions. This project will update the existing ventilation in Building B to include gelcoat application with robotic spray and cold press processes. Also, for Reasonable Assurance purposes the Department has asked the facility to reduce the VOC emissions to 235 tons per year (TPY), which is six % less than the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Threshold level (250 - 15 = 235 TPY). No control equipment is added. No increased emissions are expected.

Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue an air construction permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that operation of proposed equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a Final Permit in accordance with the conditions of the proposed Draft Permit unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in accordance with this notice results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.

The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f ) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above. Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency_ Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.
