Daytona State College Start of Construction Celebration

Daytona State College held a Start of

Construction Ceremony on Thursday to

celebrate the 24,000 square foot building

addition at the Palm Coast campus. This

addition will accommodate projected

enrollment increases, mitigate a 60-plus mile

round-trip commute for many Flagler

residents who must attend classes in

Daytona Beach, and open opportunity for

new programs and course offerings in areas such as marine sciences, health care and business.

Starting tonight, the GIS Cup soccer tournament, being held at Indian Trails

Sports Complex and Ralph Carter Park, welcomes soccer teams from

across the US and an Academy Team from West Ham United (a team in the

prestigious English Premier League). Local cash registers are sure to ring a

few more times than normal as over 80 soccer teams invade Palm Coast

and the Flagler Beaches.

Palm Coast BAC Fearless & Focused Luncheon

Thursday with 65 attendees to hear the inspirational message delivered by

FCCMA, Selected City of Palm Coast for Presentation at the 2013 FCCMA Conference

The Florida City and County Management Association (FCCMA) considered the City’s case study on “Enhancing

an Organization Through A Bunch of SAPS (Strategic Action Plans)” and was selected to be included on the

agenda for presentation at the annual conference. City Senior Planner, Denise Bevan, will present this study, to the

2014 FCCMA Conference session on May 30, 2014 in Orlando.

Linear Park Trail Map Additions

The Flagler Palm Coast High School Learn and Serve Program that was holding

weekly classes at the trailhead building at Linear Park has had another of their

various projects come to fruition. The students have been working for about a

year and a half on a comprehensive trails map to fill the empty kiosk at the

parking lot as you approach the trailhead building. What they came up with

was a map showing all the trails (paved, shell, and mountain bike) as well as the

locations of the wildflower and butterfly gardens they created and built. Some

history of the area was an added bonus that they researched and included in the

overall map plan. The City contributed to this effort by providing some

computer CADD work and paying for and coordinating the lamination of the

map with an outside vendor. The class teacher was Trish Reonas and she and

her students are to be commended for their fine work. Stop by the park and see

it for yourself!

Starbucks Adopts a Park

Starbucks has recently entered into two adoption

agreements with the City to assist our Public

Works Department and take our maintenance to a

higher level. The first adoption was under the

City’s Adopt-a-Park program and the park is

Linear Park. Under this agreement, Starbucks

has agreed to pick up trash, litter and perform

other landscape maintenance tasks such as

weeding shrub beds around the parking lot and

trailhead. The second adoption was under the City’s Adopt-a-Shoreline program and this includes the Intracoastal

Waterway shoreline along Waterfront Park. Shoreline adoptions include picking up debris and litter that may wash

onto the shore, putting any discarded fishing line into the existing recycling containers provided and seeing that

they get emptied and delivered to the City for proper recycling.

When asked why Starbucks offered to make these two adoptions, Kelly Mangaroo of Starbucks responded, "Every

Starbucks store is a part of a community, and we’re committed to strengthening neighborhoods wherever we do

business. Through our adoptions, we are taking ownership of the city we live in. By giving back to our community,

we hope to be a positive catalyst that will inspire others to become more actively involved to keep Palm Coast

beautiful for generations to come."

First Coast No More Homeless Pets and PetSmart Charities hosted another Mega

Adoption Event at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds on Oct. 4-6, 2013. This event is

geared toward finding at least 1,000 animals their forever loving homes, and multiple

humane societies, animal control facilities, and private rescues bring all their

adoptable dogs and cats and display them for adoption. The Flagler Humane Society

was invited to participate in this event, and we had a very successful weekend finding

homes for our animals.

We were so excited to see 24 dogs and 17 cats from FHS find their forever loving

homes at this event. This accomplishment involved a lot of time, effort, organization,

and you! Our outreach events can’t succeed without the help of the community and

the time of our volunteers. FHS wants to thank the numerous volunteers that helped

to set up, promote the animals during the event, and break down.

It is always nice after big adoption events to return to the shelter and see empty cages.

But those who work at shelters know that it only lasts for so long before the facility is

at capacity again. This is why it is so important to participate frequently in large

outreach events. The animals need you to help them find homes so that FHS can

continue to care for the numerous animals that arrive each day. FHS is always in need

of supplies for outreach. If you would like to donate some supplies, please note that it

is for outreach when you bring it in. For FHS to be successful, we would need: Dog

Rawhides/Treats, Paper Towels, Hand Sanitizer, Disposable Litter Pans, Litter,

Plastic Measuring Cups (LG/SM), Large Wire Dog Crates, Towels, Cat/Dog Toys,

Cat Carriers (with the snap sides that are easy to break down), Etc.

Classroom Pocket Pet Program - Do you know of a teacher that would like to have

a classroom pet? FHS is now offering free adoptions of the pocket pets that are

surrendered for adoption. Please contact [email protected] or 386-

445-1814 ext. 501 for more information. This program is a beneficial way of placing

an animal in a forever home and teaching the students about responsibility and self-

confidence.

Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized

spay and neuter programs for members of the community that need to have their pets

sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814 or email [email protected]

for general questions, or email [email protected] for grant-specific

questions that we can be of assistance to you.

Don’t forget that you can pick up your “Wristband for Rescues” at the shelter or at

any offsite outreach events. These bands help us raise funds to feed the many furry

residents of FHS. We are asking for a minimum donation of $2 per wristband. Come

and get yours today!

Upcoming Events: FHS is still looking for sponsors and vendors for our October

26th “Run Fur Our Lives” Walk for the Animals and 4 mile run. After the walk/run,

we will be hosting a festival that will include food vendors, arts/craft booths,

adoptable pets, and much more! Anyone interested in being a sponsor or vendor can

email Michelle Bertsch at [email protected].

280 cats 71 dogs 5 rabbits Animals ready for homes

Remember Healy? This lovely little tortoiseshell cat, who grew up in

the Shelter since arriving in March, finally found

her forever home when she was adopted the week

following her being the Featured Pet. We love

happy endings!

(All adoptions and outreach)

Information on events to benefit our

homeless animals can be found on our

website, www.flaglerhumanesociety.org.

Medford is a beautiful 2 year old

Border Collie mix. She is a

spayed female that is up to date

on all her vaccinations. She came

to the shelter as a stray. Medford

is good with other dogs and loves

to play. She is a little shy but

comes around quickly. She is

looking for an understanding

home that is willing to work with

her through her shyness. She

would love a family that is

willing to help her gain some

confidence and give her the

chance to be a loving pet. Come

and meet her today.

NEWS RELEASE – City of Palm Coast Contact: Jason Giraulo, Digital Communications Coordinator (386) 986-2484; cell (386) 569-7540 October 7, 2013 Soccer tournament with international teams coming to Palm Coast sports complex Palm Coast, Fla. – Youth soccer teams from England and the United States will come to Palm Coast in October for a major youth soccer tournament being put on by Global Image Sports (GIS), in association with the local PDA Florida competitive soccer club. The GIS Cup soccer tournament will be held at Indian Trails Sports Complex and Ralph Carter Park Oct. 11-13. GIS is a Georgia-based sports management company that represents European professional soccer clubs searching for new soccer talent in North America. West Ham United of England's Premier League will be sending a U16 (16 and under) Academy Team to compete in the Elite Showcase Bracket at the GIS Cup. The tournament is expected to attract teams from outside the region due to GIS partnerships across the United States, GIS officials said. Participation is open to youth teams from U9 to U18. The following Showcase Games have been scheduled:

Friday Oct. 11

6pm: Darlington School Soccer Academy vs. Premier UK Soccer

8pm: PDA Florida vs. West Ham United Academy Saturday Oct. 12

Higher-level teams are looking for opportunities to compete against like competition and against teams they’ve never player before, and the GIS Cup will be a perfect fit for both.” The City has worked strategically over the past three years to develop Palm Coast as a premiere location for youth soccer and lacrosse in the Southeast. Partners in the economic development initiative include the Flagler County Tourist Development Council, the Palm Coast Sports Alliance and PDA Florida.

The area’s popularity for soccer and lacrosse tournaments has grown steadily in recent years, aided by top-notch field conditions, beautiful weather, excellent quality of life, and its central location mid-way between Orlando and Jacksonville with easy access to Interstate 95.
