City plans partnerships with county to tackle homelessness

lyssa Roscoe got her start in roller derby unexpectedly in July 2011 when she was asked to join the Beachside Brawlers, the Palm Coast Roller Derby team. She grew up playing sports; she was the only girl on the boy baseball team in her hometown of Orange City. She felt like sport teams were missing in the adult world, so she hopped on the track and never looked back. “I’m a pretty competitive person, so I saw something, and I wanted to do it,” she said. “I practiced off skates; I practiced on skates. There was one point where I was hip checking trees just to get the motions.” Known as Princess Leia U Out when she was on the Beachside Brawlers, Roscoe immediately fell in love with the sport, the showmanship and her teammates. “The organization really teaches you everything,” she said. “It’s for the skater, by the skater. So, you’ve got coaches and captains that are teaching you everything, and your league-mates are helping you grow and learn, and nurture you.” Roscoe became “derby wives” with Carla Owens about six months into her joining the Beachside Brawlers in 2013. “It’s like your best friend,” said Owens, whose derby name is Holy Scrap. “You become close to everybody in derby, but your derby wife is somebody that you know every move they’re going to make on the track. They’ve got your back; they’re right there for you all the time — not just on the track; it’s outside of derby too.” Owens said Roscoe is unstoppable on the track. “She’s like a boss; she’s a wrecking ball,” Owens said.

Hours after County Administrator Jerry Cameron announced that the county was preparing to initiate a lawsuit against Clerk of Court Tom Bexley the following day, July 26, over the allocation of space between the clerk and the sheriff at the county courthouse, Bexley and Sheriff Rick Staly met, walked through the building, and resolved the matter themselves. “When the negotiations fell apart, the sheriff decided to reach out to me,” Bexley said. “We didn’t know it was going work out this fast, but we’re very glad that it did. ... I’m very happy that it appears that we’re at the end of this part of the Sheriff’s Operations Center saga, and I think all of us in county government ... can concentrate on moving forward with the sheriff’s substation.” “... I called Tom and said, ‘Let’s solve the county’s problem, and let’s do it now,’ and we did,” Staly said, according to a news release from the FCSO. The county had asked Bexley to cede 5,000 square feet of addi-
Cameron and County Commission Chairman Donald O’Brien and said he’d present them with an interlocal agreement for more space. But when he did so on July 24, it was for 1,018 square feet and didn’t met the sheriff’s needs. The two sides deadlocked over a handful of teller-style cubicles with windows facing a hallway on the first floor: The sheriff wanted those for his operations, but the clerk said he couldn’t give them up without affecting his ability to serve the public, Bexley said. With the two sides at an impasse July 25, Cameron said he would be directing County Attorney Al Hadeed to prepare for a lawsuit. A proposed agreement would involve the sheriff gaining use of the 1,018 square feet of space Bexley had offered in the July 24 interlocal agreement, all on the first floor. But it adds for the sheriff a set of teller-style cubicles on the second floor, like the ones the sheriff had requested on the first floor, Bexley said. “It was something that would help his operations, and it wouldn’t cripple me too bad,” Bexley said.

A look at Flagler Schools’ dress code, seven years in. BY JONATHAN SIMMONS AND RAY BOONE
I
t’s been more than seven years since the Flagler County School Board voted 3-2 to approve a new uniform dress code for its schools. In that time, policymakers have stretched the fabric of the original code for a comfier fit, allowing an array of shirt options for high schoolers and more color options for elementary and middle schoolers’ required polo shirts. How’s the policy faring now? And might the district outgrow it entirely in the future? School administrators don’t believe so. “I think overall, the policy works great,” said Ryan Andrews, a vice principal at Indian Trails Middle School. “They look professional every day, and they’re able to look like they’re going to school and ready for business.” He acknowledged that there are pitfalls: Students may have to be pulled out of class and told to
change, for example. And it can be tough for some parents to afford clothes that comply with the regulations. But the local Education Foundation helps provide dresscode-compliant clothing to students in need, he said. “It does create an opportunity for a negative interaction if a student is out of dress code,” Andrews said. “Teachers who have to address it, or administrators who have to address it — the initial conversation could be perceived as negative.” But, he added, administrators do try to determine if a student is out of dress code for reasons outside the student’s control. “Every situation is different, and we do a very good job of asking the student is anything is wrong,” he said. Andrews had been at Flagler Palm Coast High School in 2012, when the district approved the dress code for the upcoming school year. “I recall a lot of pushback, a lot of questions,” he said. But, over time, “It naturally kind of fell into place, and one day everybody was wearing the approved attire.” Both schools, he said, keep stashes of dress code-compliant clothing to offer to students who show up at school wearing something they’re not supposed to. That way, they don’t have to miss much class. But generally, he said, “On a given day we probably have 99% of our students in, or very close to, dress code.” The type of violation varies with the seasons: Colder weather brings trouble with hats and jackets; summer temps tempt students to show too much skin. Belle Terre Elementary Principal Terence Culver noted that the dress code is flexible: Students have options when it comes to shirt colors, for instance. And the school calendar includes “spirit days,” when students can wear school-related T-shirts rather than the usual polo-style ones. “With the way society is right now, I think that just having a common dress is very beneficial, so we’re not bringing in outside political tension into the schools,” Culver said. “ There’s racial tension that’s out there right now, and our kids need to be focused on schools and not that nonsense that’s out there now in the political arena. ... I just don’t want to expose our kids here to that. I
want our kids to come here and get along with everybody and see people as one.” Overwhelmingly, he said, his students comply with dress code. When there are issues, he said, “It’s our upper grades, sixth graders who are right at that end of the school year, wanting to express themselves.” When the school calls parents to tell them their child is out of dress code, he said, “A lot of the time it’s like, ‘Oh, I told him he couldn’t wear that.’ ... 99%, they comply.” As to student complaints that the dress code is stifling, he said, “They certainly can express themselves, but they can do it in forms other than dress. ... We have to make sure that we are preparing them so that when they go to their jobs, and there are uniforms ... you need to be able to say, ‘Hey, I had to wear a uniform in school.’” He noted that, as uniform policies go, Flagler’s is lax. “You really can’t complain about it, because there are so many options,” he said. “It’s much needed, and it works very well. We have a beautiful campus here, and our students look great walking around with their polo shirts.” ‘NOT MY STYLE’
Although he doesn’t really want to, Ja’Corey Benjamin is almost always in compliance with the uniform policy at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Except for one particular instance. At the beginning of last school year, Benjamin, a sophomore at the time, was ordered out of the classroom because he was wearing a T-shirt. “I didn’t really understand it,” he said in a phone interview with the Palm Coast Observer. Devon Conkrite, who is entering his senior year at FPC, experienced a similar scenario this past school year. He wore jeans to class — which, by itself, is acceptable under the current dress code. However, he said, there was a small rip in his pants by his ankles. School officials made him change. For many of the students interviewed by the Observer, having to obey the dress code was an issue of comfort. “I know for me, it’s a lot more comfortable not to wear a polo or a collared shirt,” Conkrite said. “It gets hot in class sometimes, especially if the air conditioning isn’t good. A Dri-FIT shirt is a lot more comfortable.” He added: “I feel like if it’s not affecting the learning environment, then you should be able to wear it. I just think it’s more comfortable to wear what I want to class every day.” However, some students admitted that they understood why there’s a dress code and weren’t necessarily for or against it. Brianna Whitfield, an incoming junior at Matanzas, believes the school should either be all-in on enforcing the dress code or there shouldn’t be one at all. She felt like the dress code at Matanzas wasn’t enforced and that whether you got in trouble for being out of dress code was dependent upon the teacher. If she could change the dress code, she’d allow more leniency on what’s acceptable to wear. All of the students interviewed agreed. “My style doesn’t always meet dress code standards,” Whitfield said. “By not having a dress code, it would allow kids to express themselves a little more.” Her mother, Samantha Whit-

field, believes that a uniform policy helps prevent bullying by “fighting the status quo of people wearing name brand items to school.” She just wishes that students wouldn’t be pulled from class for not being in uniform. “We should be a little more lenient on that and rely on the parents to make sure their kids are in uniform,” she said. “As parents, it should be more of our responsibility.” However, her 7-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn, who is going into the second grade at Belle Terre Elementary, shook her head at the thought of any kind of dress code. “It’s not my style,” she said. OFFICIALS SPEAK
School Board member Andy Dance is one of three current board members who was also on the board in 2012, when it voted to require uniforms for students. But, along with board member Trevor Tucker, Dance voted against the policy. At the time, he thought the code was too strict, and that it was the wrong time to implement it: The community was still recovering from the recession. “We made it more lenient over the years. ... There is flexibility written within it,” he said. He said he’s always wanted the focus to be more on school spirit. Still, he said, there is a benefit to acclimating students to the sort of requirements they’ll encounter in workplaces. To the extent that there’s a downside to the current code, he said, it’s about enforcement. Flagler Schools Superintendent James Tager wasn’t working with the district in 2012, when the uniform policy was passed. But, he said, “I certainly think that in today’s society, we are very much concerned about school safety. Certainly schools are about learning — and earning an A as a district is certainly an impressive thing for Flagler Schools — but to have a school system that is effective ... having a dress code policy in place makes the whole place a little more organized, allows us to know exactly who’s in our building. ... I think the wearing of the ID (cards) is a big key for school safety.” It’s probably human nature for students to try to push the limits of the dress code a bit, he said, but enforcing the code consistently from the beginning of the school year onward can reduce students’ urge to test those boundaries. “I think it’s just a matter of enforcing your policy so they understand that what you say is what you mean,” he said. For John Fanelli, the district’s coordinator of student and behavior supports, and former principal of Buddy Taylor Middle School, the dress code encourages a good learning environment. And, he said, “It encourages them to express their individuality through their personality and their achievements instead of just their outward appearance.” Fanelli was principal at Buddy Taylor when the board approved uniforms in 2012, he said, and, “Actually, it went pretty well. ... It was honestly a pretty smooth transition.” “The majority of our students, I think, are in dress code every day,” he said. “And if they’re not, most of our families are very supportive in helping to get our students into dress code.”

Palm Coast Little League would like more fields for its softball and baseball players. The city government is considering giving them more — but that would mean converting soccer fields into softball fields, which might lead the soccer tournament leagues that use those fields to find other venues, costing the city money. The baseball and softball players are currently divided between four fields. It’s not enough for the hundreds of players in the local Little League, Palm Coast Little League president William Warren told Palm Coast City Council members at a council workshop July 30. But if the city adds fields for softball and baseball, that might attract enough softball and baseball tournaments to offset the soccer tournament loss, he said. “With six fields available, you could hold a lot of other tournaments,” Warren said. “It also allows us to host summer Little

10 fields that are contiguous, and may simply relocate elsewhere. But then, Johnston said, they might also be replaced by softball or baseball tournaments. Councilman Eddie Branquinho asked if adding lighting to fields that currently don’t have it would increase the capacity for tournament play. Johnston replied that it could, and that Palm Coast Park and Holland Park would be the best ones to consider lighting first. In other business at the workshop, Johnston told council members that city staff is recommending that the council do away with the citizen Leisure Services Advisory Committee, which has not had a meeting since September 2018 and is perpetually short of enough members for a quorum. Johnston suggested that the city, in its place, create a nonprofit parks and recreation foundation.

(Two of its members, Mayor Milissa Holland and Councilman Jack Howell, were absent from the meeting.) She was joined by Heidi Petito, the general services manager for the Flagler County government. The city currently has 10 fields that can be used for soccer tournaments, Johnston said. It could, ultimately, convert three of those to softball fields and one to a baseball field. But that conversion, Johnston said, would best be done in phases, starting with two softball fields and two T-ball fields — one of which would later become a softball field, and one of which would become a baseball field. The potential problem is those travel soccer tournaments, which generate millions of dollars in local financial impact annually. There are 10 planned through winter 2020, and converting the fields would impact six of them, Johnston said. The city could work with the county to offer alternative play space at county facilities, but the tournaments typically are seeking

Summertime is You Time. the E-Section and the R-Section (the E-Section, W-Section and F-Section are being worked on this fiscal year), the construction of a weir on Smith Trail and canal dredging in the E-Section. The city, as usual, would also rehab 25 miles of swales. The city is spending approximately $8.6 million in capital project expenses on wastewater projects this year, but proposing $20.3 million for fiscal year 2020. The city is proposing a 29.6% increase in administrative costs for utility operations in 2020, with a 7.9% revenue increase. The proposed budget includes planned merit raises of 3% and a 2% salary adjustment for staff. Proposed personnel changes include adding a deputy chief building official and a plans examiner or building inspector, as determined, for the Building Department.

The city government is preparing for the possibility of expanding its capacity at Wastewater Treatment Plant 2 and adding staff members at its Utility Department, Building Department and Stormwater Division. “The rule of thumb is when you hit to 80% of your capacity, you need to start planning for the next phase,” Utility Director Richard Adams told City Council members at a July 30 council workshop. “We are already over 80% of our capacity, so we want to start the planning process.” Finance Director Helen Alves added, “There has been growth within the community; there have also been increasing chemical costs.” The discussion came as the City Council worked to prepare the city’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year. One benefit of starting the planning process for the expansion early, Adams said, is that it will make it easier to seek Florida Department of Environmental Protection funding for design of the project through a Clean Water State Revolving Fund grant. Design and planning is expected to cost approximately $121,580. Other proposed wastewater and utility work would include increased line replacement and pipe lining, ditch restorations in

New era of harmony between city, county
JAMES MANFRE GUEST WRITER
“What we got here is a failure to communicate.” The oft-quoted line from the Paul Newman movie “Cool Hand Luke” has been the basis for the relationship between the city of Palm Coast and Flagler County government administrations for the past 20 years. But something has changed. Since the ITT Corp. first set its prodigious resources behind a large-scale residential community here, the competing visions of Flagler’s future have been the source of constant friction. Scars remained after the city incorporated in 2000 and the county turned over land, roads, buildings and personnel to the responsibility

This has been happening in many cases without notice since is happening slowly. While some of us have not noted, Florida’s Natural orange juice has been reduced from a 64-ounce serving container to a 59-ounce container and finally to a 52-ounce container. The container looks the same and the price remains the same. That is a 23% cost increase. While not as dramatic, our taxes here in Flagler County have also had a 15% increase in a six-year period. Since many of us have come from places with a much higher tax, the increase is not noticed. What should be of concern to us is the “creep,” particularly since the Flagler County Commission has made some costly real estate transactions, which, of course, leads to higher Flagler County taxes. Let us be aware that the county owns three buildings that are currently unusable

of the city. It was not an easy period for either side, and it did not help that the county political structure, which was generally from the rural areas of the county, was vehemently against participating in what they saw as a northern takeover of their spheres of power. As the first sheriff to have to navigate this new dynamic in 2001, I saw firsthand the struggles between the two governments and the consequences for residents and taxpayers. The most concrete example was how to pay for and coordinate fire, ambulance, emergency management, law enforcement operations and communications. Fortunately, law enforcement issues for the most part were resolved by the city agreement to contract for law enforcement services with the Sheriff’s Office. The negotiations between my office and the city were professional and efficient and have resulted in 20 years of mutually productive relationships over three sheriffs that have saved the taxpayers tens of millions of
dollars. Unfortunately, the other three areas have been a constant source of infighting. This has clearly been experienced during natural disasters and has exposed the poor working relationships between the city and county in emergency operations and the fire departments. This has caused the Sheriff’s Office, during my two terms, to act as a referee between the two at critical moments when life-and-death decisions were being made. The worst of these situations — and I could point out many — was during Hurricane Matthew, when Gov. Rick Scott called me directly to work out preparations because of the poor coordination of the county’s emergency management operations. I will not belabor the negative effects of this longrunning dispute between the county and city. We have all had a front row seat. It is a shame particularly because lives have been put in danger, and taxpayers have had to foot the bill.
However, the dark clouds have recently disappeared with the hiring of County Administrator Jerry Cameron and City Manager Matt Morton. They both seem to genuinely get it that it is their duty to coordinate. This will assist in both entities’ ability to keep taxes lower, prepare for future natural emergencies and plan for future growth, which is coming like a freight train. This new relationship was brought home to me last week when I attended a Flagler County Commission meeting. As I was rising to speak on an issue, I spotted the county administrator and city manager sitting next to each other. It was heartwarming to see the two next to each other without the necessity of a deputy sheriff between them, as would have been required under previous administrations. A continued commitment to good relationships bodes well for all of our futures. James Manfre is an attorney in Palm Coast. He is a former sheriff of Flagler County.
while at the same time having a need for additional office space. I also question why you would rehire a building inspector who gave you bad information on a previous inspection to inspect another building. The city of Palm Coast has also contributed to the increased ad valorem taxes by some senseless decisions, which the City Council refuses to revisit. The reduction from two lanes of traffic to a single lane of traffic on Whiteview Parkway is an example of this costly decision-making. This project is estimate to be in the $1.5 million range. Almost all of our county and city officials are Republicans, but it seems these Republicans are not good at making costeffective decisions. We need some individuals who are more thrifty with our money. We need to use this next election to show our elected officials that they need to make more fiscally responsible decisions. Decisions have be made on a transparent and obvious return-on-investment or critical-needs basis.
Space-gate at courthouse is a charade
we are willing to go into more debt yet. As is the usual M.O., those who have already made their political decisions are hoping that the heat will die down and people will forget. Not likely! Here is a fact that doesn’t ever get shared: If there was anything other than mold that was causing the issues at the Sheriff’s Operations Center, it would have presented itself on the preliminary CDC results. Why? Because if anything else was present in a significant parts-per-million amount, it would have shown up during testing. Nothing else was present. I believe they all know this, which is why we are having this charade drag on and we still do not have a resolution. I will say it again, if mold is the only thing needed to warrant the requirement for a new building, then the bulldozers should have been at Flagler Palm Coast High School years ago. Returning teachers should inspect their rooms carefully, for if that is true, maybe you all will get a new building, too!
JOHN BRADY Palm Coast
Dear Editor: Kudos to Clerk of Courts Tom Bexley for not succumbing to the political pressure of the latest carnival sideshow of “Space-gate” by the Board of County Commissioners and the sheriff. Mr. Bexley is an unwilling participant in this continuing fiasco that is completely the fault of the current leadership of the County Commission and Sheriff Rick Staly. The good work of the Flagler County Sheriff Department is being tarnished by this ongoing and seemingly deliberate saga. Tom Bexley will continue to receive the support of a majority in this community. The same can’t be said for the rest of the players of this show. The endless delays and new “crises” that emerge seem to be a tactic to run out the clock or, in usual Flagler County political fashion, allow enough time to elapse so a fixable problem gets worse. It is shown by the repeated responses from many on the County Commission that once the new library building is built, all problems will be solved! Except we haven’t said

Deputies: Roma Court teacher pushes 3-year-old A 51-year-old teacher at Roma Court Academy aggressively pushed or slung a 3-year-old boy to the ground, according to an investigation by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The teacher, Xiomara Quinones, faces a potential charge of aggravated assault child abuse if the State Attorney’s Office decides to prosecute. She has not been arrested. The July 15 incident was revealed when a school cafeteria employee sent video footage of the incident anonymously to the Department of Children and Families, which then contacted the FCSO. The employee had seen the incident in person. She couldn’t tell if the boy had been pushed or if he’d fallen on his own, but she’d noticed that Quinones didn’t help him up or check to see if he was all right, even though he was crying, according to an FCSO case report. The employee completed an accident report, and also used her cell phone to record video of the school’s surveillance
camera’s video footage of the incident, making a video of the video. She “appeared nervous to speak about what she witnessed due to fear of retaliation from the staff,” and “stated that they believed if they did not record the video, administration/ ownership would ensure that it was never seen,” according to an FCSO arrest report. When deputies arrived at the school and requested the original surveillance footage, “the original footage was either deleted or ‘written over,’” according to an arrest report. Upon viewing the footage from the employee’s phone, a deputy wrote, “It appears that Xiomara grabs (the victim) and then (the victim) is seen forcefully falling down on the tile floor, as if he was slung down purposefully.” When deputies spoke to Quinones, she said of the victim, “All he does is cry all day,” a deputy reported. When a DCF investigator asked her what happened, Quinones said the boy had been crying and yelling all day, and that when the class was leaving the cafeteria and the boy began walking in the wrong direction,
“she placed three of her fingers behind his back to redirect him ... ]and] he tripped on his own,” according the incident report. In a written statement, she wrote that she helped the boy up off the floor. But when deputies questioned her, she said she’d backed away from him with her hands in the air “because he has been aggressive towards her in the past.” When deputies spoke with the boy’s mother, she said she’d suspected that something was wrong, when the boy, who’d been toilet trained for about a year, wet the bed at night and then was afraid to go into his classroom in the morning. DCF notified her about the investigation on July 17. She spoke to Roma Court owner William Gerrell, she said, and he said that he’d seen the video, and her son had not been pushed. When he tried to get her to agree with that, she refused. She told deputies that she took the boy to his doctor, who recommended a visit to the ER. X-rays came back negative. But a doctor did recommend counseling and prescribe medication for acute post-traumatic stress disorder. Deputies interviewed Gerrell,
who said he’d viewed the video on his cell phone and that “he not see anything wrong.” The DCF investigator told Gerrell in a deputy’s presence that Quinones “needed to be supervised at all times with the children, during the duration of the investigation.” But Gerrell left the facility before the deputy did, and Quinones was still in the classroom, alone with the children, the deputy reported. The boy’s mother wants to pursue charges.
days prior in Volusia County for burglary and grand theft. “I hope that he can turn his life around and that this is a wake-up call for him to choose a new career because he is not a very good thief,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. Aldrich was taken to AdventHealth due to injuries he sustained while breaking through the glass door on Louisiana Drive. Once medically cleared, he was taken to the Flagler County jail. He is being held on a $25,000 bond.
Arrested there, then arrested here
Attempted theft seen on Ring video
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residential burglary on Louisiana Drive on Saturday, July 27, after neighbors heard the sound of glass shattering. Upon arrival, deputies identified 41-year-old Justin Aldrich, who fled. FCSO pursued the vehicle with lights and sirens activated for a brief time until it was terminated due to a concern for public safety. Aldrich was later arrested with the help of a License Plate Reader. Further investigation revealed that Aldrich was arrested five
Deputies responded to Lancelot Drive just after midnight on July 27, after homeowners saw an attempted burglary occurring on their Ring video doorbell. The caller observed a man wearing a black hoodie, long green pants and a Spider-Man handkerchief to cover his face, attempting to break into her white Ford F250. Deputies arrested 19-year-old Emanuel Nixon, who told deputies he is currently on felony probation for breaking into cars in Lee County. He is being held without bond.

City plans partnerships with county to help deal with homelessness VIEW FROM BUNNELL
JONATHAN SIMMONS
Speaking to real estate agents at the annual “Meet the Mayors” breakfast on July 25, Bunnell Mayor Catherine Robinson said Bunnell is seeking better ways to work with local homeless people. After observing policies in Daytona Beach and St. Augustine, Bunnell adopted an anti- panhandling policy. For those caught, the first offense is a warning. The second offense is a $150 fine — a revelation that drew laughter from much of the audience. “You’ve got to start somewhere,” Robinson said. “This is a very difficult issue. It is not easy. And there are a lot of facets that go with the homeless. “There are some folks who want help and are getting help, and there are folks who don’t want help. It’s a fine balance between the citizens of Bunnell, the people who work in Bunnell and those who want to live in Bunnell and not be told what to do and told where they live. We at least have a policy.” Robinson said there needs to be a “countywide solution.”

The city is also proposing to buy a 3.87-acre parcel at 13 Commerce Blvd. to expand its wastewater treatment capabilities. The purchase would cost an estimated
$265,500. “We have a wastewater collection system improvement project that is going to increase our capacity,” Utility Director Richard Adams said. “It’s going to be diverting flow over to Wastewater Treatment Plant 2. . ... We’re in need of a site for a master pump station.” The parcel, he said, is bordered on two sides by city stormwater ditches.

Palm Coast’s city government is preparing to redirect some city Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money over to the Flagler County government administration to help the county — which, unlike the city, has social services staff — tackle local homelessness. The idea came out of a recent Citizens Advisory Task Force meeting, City Planner Jose Papa told Palm Coast City Council members at a July 30 council workshop. “The current idea is to ... really get the dollars out into the public and into the community as quickly as possible,” Papa said. The city is expecting $487,895 in CDBG money this year. The money has historically been spent on projects like home repair aid for low-income homeowners. In addition to partnering with the county, Papa said, the city is hoping to seek the services of a grant director to ensure it is doing all it can to secure grants.

CUBAN RESTAURANT OPENS IN PALM COAST The Gonzalezes had lived in Cuba their entire lives. They’d never really had the opportunity to travel outside of their own island. The family lived in Holguin — the fourth-largest city in Cuba. Angel Gonzalez was the first to move. He left Cuba for Palm Coast in 2010. His wife, Mariela, and his son, Kevin, followed in 2012. The family moved to Miami for two years, but they quickly moved back to Palm Coast. “It seemed like a good place to come to,” Mariela said of moving to the U.S. (Her son, Kevin, translated for her and for Angel in this interview.) “I think this is the best country in the world.” Now, the family is bringing a little slice of their culture to the community. The Gonzalez opened Cuban

Angel is the owner, Mariela helps with serving and finances, and Kevin, now 16 and a student at Flagler Palm Coast High School, helps with translating for the customers who cannot speak Spanish. The grand opening was packed and even now, customers are still pouring in to get a taste of authentic Cuban cuisine, which is exclusively cooked by Angel. Angel taught himself to cook when he was a young boy. He’s been fascinated with it ever since. “Opening a restaurant has been a dream of ours for a long time,” he said. “I’m very happy whenever I see my customers eating my food.” The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

A FIGHTING
CHANCE
Former world title champion Shelley Burton can’t box anymore, but now she’s set her sights on training the next generation of fighters. PAIGE WILSON COMMUNITY EDITOR
W
hen Shelley Burton heard about Toughman Contests in 2002, she thought it’d be an easy way to make some extra cash. Living in Montana at the time, this was Burton’s first exposure to boxing. She instantly knew that it was the sport for her. “We roughed it; we’d go to people’s houses and we’d turn a bedroom into a ring,” Burton said. “We didn’t have any trainers; we just all did the club fighting.”
She grew up playing basketball, softball and rugby, so her athleticism shined naturally with boxing too. In 2002, in her early 20s, she won the Club Boxing’s State Tournament and achieved an amateur record of 7-0 (2 TKO). “When I started, they always asked you what your goal is,” Burton recalled. “I went to Golden Gloves Boxing in Las Vegas, met a guy named Butch; he was my manager. He basically dropped me off and let this amateur coach train me, and I went pro and won my fight. They asked me, they said, ‘So, what do you want to do with this? How far do you want to go?’ ‘All the way. I want to win a world title and fight Ali’s daughter.’ They all chuckled, of course, and then said, ‘Well, a world title in maybe in 10 years; Ali’s daughter, never gonna happen. She’s too big for you.’” Burton spent the next four years traveling around North

America for fights. On Nov. 18, 2005, Burton won the vacant Women’s International Boxing Association’s Intercontinental Super Middleweight title with a 10-round majority decision. Goal No 1: check. A little less than one year later, on Nov. 11, 2006, she stood in the boxing ring of all rings: Madison Square Garden in New York City. Her opponent? Laila Ali, the daughter of the iconic Muhammad Ali. In that moment, Burton felt pure bliss to be in that ring, at that time, with that opponent — and in the presence of Muhammad Ali himself. “I felt like I succeeded,” Burton recalled. “I did everything I wanted to do with the sport, and I was getting an opportunity to be there, which everybody said I wouldn’t.” The fight was called in the fourth round when Burton took a punch that broke her nose. “My nose got broken in pretty much every fight I fought; I didn’t cover my face very well,” Burton said. Laila Ali took the “W,” but Burton still looks back fondly on what would end up being her final fight. Soon after, head trauma from snowboarding made boxing a no go. She officially retired from professional boxing in 2007 and opened a boxing gym in Montana, where she was welcomed back as a local celebrity. “I wanted to be a firefighter EMT to give back to my community and help people; I love helping people,” Burton said. “I’ve always wanted to be a cop, since I was a kid. After I retired out of boxing, I moved out to Colorado, worked at coal mine and operated heavy equipment.” After being a volunteer firefighter EMT, a police officer and then a heavy machine operator, she moved to Palm Coast in 2015 and started working for the city of Palm Coast’s Utility Department, then transferred into being a code enforcement officer. “I love the way our city looks,” Burton said. “I love being able to work with people and help people understand things, because sometimes it’s not communicated well. I’m always about making things better.” Here she’s trained youth at local boxing gyms and collaborated with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office’s Police Athletic League program, as it’s in her nature to get involved. Palm Coast resident and former professional boxer Alisha Collins met Burton about four months when they trained together at a local gym, but they’ve already become close friends. “She has a big heart and will take the shirt off her back to help anybody,” Collins said. “I think that’s why we get along so well.” Collins was a professional boxer in 2001 and served in the U.S. Army from 1993 to 2014; she still boxes for fun. “Just watching her teach the kids and show them what to expect what they got in the ring was pretty awesome,” Collins said. Burton wants to continue to train youth, like her son Masen Keltner, who wants to try out for the Olympics one day, and other kids who want to be pro boxers. “I just set a goal and I go for it,” Burton said.

The stations were led by volunteers, which included former NFL players, college players and current members of FPC’s football team. “It’s fun being around kids,” Bulldogs senior quarterback Donovan Montoyo said. “We used to be this age. It’s very fun to help out and lead them in the right direction and let them have fun. That’s what it’s all about.”

313663-1
BRUISED BUT NOT BACKING DOWN
Roscoe became a customer service specialist with the city of Palm Coast in May 2013, and she still often walks into work with bruises, sometimes on crutches — or even in a wheelchair. It’s become a fun conversation piece when she interacts with residents of the city who come into the customer service office. “I kind of thought I may not ever want to mess with her because she must be tough,” customer service supervisor Lisa Asbill said with a laugh, recalling the first time she met Roscoe. “I feel like she gets her aggression out there, so it kind of brings her focus here. It kind of goes hand in hand.” The sport is a stress reliever for Roscoe. “I find it to be an outlet,” Ros-

coe said. “At work, you’re helping people and problem-solving and figuring out things and getting to the root problem. But derby is kind of that too, where you’re figuring out how to do something. Your teammates are your residents; they’re the ones you’re trying to help.” Roscoe spent seven years with the Beachside Brawlers, practicing derby two to three times a week at the outdoor track at the Flagler County Youth Center on the Flagler Palm Coast High School campus. “It’s not uncommon for girls to throw up at practice because it’s just so intense and being outdoors in August in Florida, the temperatures can get up there,” Roscoe noted. She has a “pretty strong stomach” though, so she avoided that — but not other injuries, like separating her acromioclavicular

joints and tearing her posterior cruciate ligament. In May 2014, she participated in a game when she was advised not to, but she didn’t want to let her team down. During that bout, she took a helmet to the face. “I broke my nose a week before my wedding,” Roscoe said. “I thought my mom was going to kill me. … It was swollen and crooked, but makeup does wonders.” Owens was Roscoe’s maid of honor on her special day. “It all started on the track,” Owens said. “Whenever you’re part of a derby team, they become your family. You have to learn to trust them. It’s a team; it’s a second family.” SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP
When Roscoe had her daughter in 2015, she got back on skates in four weeks, which she now says was a terrible idea. “My body was so not ready,” she said. “My team was very much like, ‘Hey, calm down.’” She took their advice, and after she had her son in 2017, she waited six months to do derby again. Her daughter, now age 4, already has a pair of skates and even skated with her in the Fabulous Fourth of July Parade in Flagler Beach last year. This year at age 30, Roscoe said she had to make a decision: Did she want to stay at the recreational level or kick it up a notch? “I wanted to take it to the next level,” Roscoe said. “I’ve been

doing this for seven years and I’ve made so many great memories. But I felt like I’m not getting any younger, and I wanted to see what it was about before I got too old to do that.” It’s that kind of dedication that led her to try out for the Jacksonville Roller Derby league. “I tried out for the A team, and I was going to try out for the B team when I didn’t make it, but much to my surprise, I made it; I made the A team,” Roscoe said. “That was in February, so the last few months have been really intense and getting to work with names that I’ve looked up to for a really long time. A few of my teammates are on Team USA; they’ve been in the World Cup.” The New Jax City Rollers, which is a part of the Jacksonville Roller Derby, is Women’s Flat Track Derby Association sanctioned. The team is currently No. 18 in the world, out of 462 recognized WFTDA teams. As the blocker on the team, Roscoe uses her body to stop the

jammer, the player who scores points by lapping members of the opposing team. When she was on the Beachside Brawlers, she was a jammer, marked by a star on her helmet. She drives to Jacksonville on Sunday and Monday to practice for two to three hours, until 10 p.m. It makes for long nights, but it’s worth it, she said. Roscoe now goes by “Aly” instead of Princess Leia U Out for her derby name; she said she wanted to feel like she could just be herself. As a mom, an employee, a wife and more, Roscoe said being a derby player helps her remember that she deserves to pursue her passion too. She said her family always encourages her on and off the track. “I could not ask for a better husband; I have the best partner,” she said. “He’s a musician, so we always joke that he rocks and I roll. He’s definitely supportive, and I support him.”
“The organization really teaches you everything. It’s for the skater, by the skater. So, you’ve got coaches and captains that are teaching you everything, and your league-mates are helping you grow and learn, and nurture you.” ALYSSA ROSCOE, Palm Coast customer service specialist

Former Pirate competes in college summer baseball league
Stop the Violence football tournament to be held at FPC
Former Matanzas baseball player J.J. Sousa, who plays baseball for West Virginia University, is working on his game this summer by playing in the New England Collegiate Baseball League. Players are drafted from their respective colleges and play during the summer. Playing in a game for the North Adams SteepleCats, Sousa went 3-for-4 from the plate with an RBI. His team beat the Newport Gulls 14-9.
Carmen Gray announced that she is hosting a Stop the Violence Community Tournament in honor of her late son, Curtis Gray, a former Matanzas and Flagler Palm Coast High School student who was murdered on April 13. The event, held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 3 at the FPC practice football field, will be a non-contact football tournament (all players must arrive 30 minutes early). Carmen Gray is advising participants to wear LLC (Long Live Curtis) T-shirts and LLC wristbands. Music will be provided by DJ Popmoney, and the event will be livestreamed for interactive audience participation. The event is free to attend.

One team, one family Tiger’s Eye Martial Arts studio gets gold
Stephen Usina is changing schools. Usina — who starred at placekicker for Flagler Palm Coast’s football team and at goalie for the Bulldogs’ soccer and lacrosse teams — announced via Twitter that he’s transferring to rival Matanzas for his final two years of high school. However, he won’t be sticking with football. His father, Stephen Usina Sr., told the Palm Coast Observer that he plans to focus on soccer and lacrosse while at Matanzas.

The students and coaches at Tiger’s Eye Martial Arts & Fitness in Bunnell have proven that rooting for the underdog can be the right thing to do. The studio opened in January of this year, but that didn’t stop them earning eight gold medals, eight silver medals and three bronze medals at the Newbreed Ultimate Challenge U.S. Open Jiu Jitsu Championship. “A lot of them just started at the beginning of the year, so they’re only seven, eight months into it,” Tiger’s Eye owner Timothy McLean said. “Some of them have done it before, but most of them are pretty new.” The championship was held on July 6 at Disney’s Coronado Springs. This was the second competition Tiger’s Eye participated

in, with the first being in February. Tens students brought home the awards from competing in different divisions and categories.

PLANTATION BAY WOMEN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
A group of 12 Plantation Bay women are making it their mission to help locals in need. Last fall, they formed a group that is now named SHARE: Seeking to Help All, Realize Every Potential. They began donating their time to the Family Life Center, a nonprofit that works to end domestic violence and sexual assault locally. The group went shopping with Christmas wish lists, for the women at the help center, to help make the holiday joyous. This spring, SHARE helped the women by appealing on Nextdoor Plantation Bay for donations of cosmetics and personal care items to then donate to the women at the center. They deemed this imitative “Project Beautiful” and over 500 cosmetic and personal care items were delivered in time for Mother’s Day. The group has other projects in store for this year. Watch out for postings on Nextdoor Plantation Bay or call 679-7809.
