TESTIMONIALS

“ TheNeuro Challenge

Program was excellent,

helpful and very informative

regarding new treatments and

new medications. I greatly appreciate the effort everyone

puts forth to make this such

an overwhelming success. Thank you!

”“Always come away

having learned something new.

”“It is comforting

to hear from the one speaker that I have had all of the symptoms of

Parkinson's which were mentioned,

and not from a life threatening disease.

With the help of medication and exercise, a fairly

normal life can still be attained. Thanks

for your great organization and

programs!!!

‘Kill list’ targets FlaglerRick Staly: ‘There’s no credible threat’ in town.

BRIAN MCMILLANEXECUTIVE EDITOR

While ISIS has been in the news a great deal of late, it has alwaysbeen a problem far from home.But the terrorist organizationrecently released a “Kill List”that identifies two Palm Coastresidences among a total of 100scattered around the country.The direction from ISIS leadersto their followers: Hunt downand kill these 100, all of whom are current and former U.S. militarypersonnel.

Things can get nasty in the field for

a code enforcement officer in Palm

Coast. “It can be brutal out there,”

Supervisor Barbara Grossman said. “We’ve

had people show us guns, we’ve had animals

let loose on us. One individual tried to pull an

officer out of his vehicle. And then there are

people out there that say, ‘Thank you.’”

Palm Coast’s Code Enforce-ment Section enforces morerestrictions, and does so moreproactively, than the neighboring municipalities of Flagler Beachand Bunnell, or unincorporatedFlagler County. Its code enforce-ment section has 13 employees to Bunnell’s one, the county’s two,and Flagler Beach’s one employee and a volunteer. And, unlike thecounty or other municipalities,Palm Coast’s code enforcementrelies heavily on its officers mak-ing rounds, looking for violations:Each officer drives every street in the city at least twice per month,

Grossman said, racking up 600-900 miles per month per cityvehicle each.

At the heart of the differenceis a matter of philosophy thatsome residents love and otherscan’t stand. Palm Coast, unlikeits neighbors, is a communitywhose formation owes much tothe efforts of a single company— ITT — which once owned theland and sculpted a communitywith a particular look, boundtogether by a set of codes thatdictate house-paint color; fenceheight, color and material; andwhat types of vehicles may be

“There are termites in this build-ing older than Ormond Beach,”Rev. Willie Branch said recently,speaking about the old gov-ernment building that servesas headquarters for AmericanLegion Post 267.

He may be kidding about thetermites, but he’s not kiddingwhen he talks about the main-tenance required on the historicbuilding at 156 New Britain Ave.that was constructed in 1895.

The veterans are finding them-selves in a financial bind. Theypay a token rent to the city, which owns the building, but their lease requires them to pay 100% of the maintenance.

“This building needs somemajor work,” said Branch, who ispost commander. Currently there are electrical issues and deterio-rating wood.

THE BUCK STOPS HEREDo you feed or pet this young buck in Heritage Harbour South? These actions could cost big bucks — and end up harming the deer.

AMANDA SEBASTIANO STAFF WRITER

HERITAGE HARBOUR — Bambiloves snacking on popcorn andposing for selfies with HeritageHarbour South residents.

But the residents’ relationshipwith the 1-year-old white-taileddeer they’ve nicknamed after the storied deer could come at a cost — both for the yearling and forresidents who feed and pet him.

By next year, the buck will reachmaturity and will want to mate,according to Justin Matthews, ofMatthews Wildlife Rescue, whohopes to end the friendly encoun-ters between residents and thebuck before he reaches maturity.

Bucks can become aggressivewhen they’re ready to mate, espe-cially when they feel threatened.

Matthews saw a resident “play fighting” with the deer last week and watched while the buck stood

Just when you thought the Long-beach Village had enough prob-lems with peacocks, another issue is making waves.

Village resident Joe Mazza pre-sented a petition of 111 signatures last week to Town Manager DaveBullock, urging the town to look ata sliver of town-owned propertyalong Sarasota Bay off of Bayside Drive to the right of the LinleyStreet boat ramp that’s been used to store and launch small boats,canoes and kayaks for years.

Mazza and 110 other residentsbelieve the vessels, some of whichare tied or locked up, are unsight-ly and create a parking problem.“We’re looking for some relief outthere,” Mazza told commissioners

A petition urges the town to address a section of Bayside Drive that’s used to store vessels.

Three phone calls brought MichaelCorbett to Daytona Beach.

The first call on Nov. 19, 2018,appeared as “unavailable” in hisphone. Corbett didn’t answer it.He received another one a couple hours later, which he picked up.However, he only gave  the rep-resentative on the phone fromInteractive Solutions enoughtime to say his name and the word “Wheel” before Corbett hung up.

On the third ring, Corbettfinally heard the representativeout, and he found out he was thepotential winner of a new home inLatitude Margaritaville.

“I don’t think I believed it tobegin with,” Corbett said. 

A few weeks earlier, Corbett, an avid “Wheel of Fortune” watcher,had entered the show’s “HomeSweet Home” sweepstakes. Theshow had partnered with MintoCommunities and Margarita-ville to give away a new $350,000 home. The sweepstake took part

around Corbett’s birthday.“The idea of winning a home

in Florida was just crazy, but OK,I’ll enter the sweepstake and seewhat happens,” Corbett recalled. 

After all, his wife Vickie hadbeen wanting to leave the Dayton,Ohio, winters for a year. In 2017,she packed up all her belongingsand was ready to retire in Florida,leaving shoveling snow in thepast.

“There was nothing in herhouse,” Corbett said. “There wereno dishes, there was nothing. And my daughter talked her out of it.”

Fast-forward to that fate-ful phone call. As Vickie and his
