On Feb. 3, Sheriff Rick Staly visited three local schools to present three exceptional students with awards for being “Great Kids” for the month of January 2021.
“The Great Kid Awards give us the opportunity to meet and recognize some extraordinary kids doing great things in our community and in their schools,” said Sheriff Staly. “This is a terrific tradition that we started in 2018 and it is something that we look forward to every month. We hear too much in the media about kids who make bad decisions, it is an honor to present this award to these students and shine a spotlight on the kids in Flagler County who are working to make a positive impact.”

Three men were arrested two minutes after they allegedly were involved in a shooting spree at a house on Kalamazoo Trail Thursday evening, a shooting that caused ripples of alarm in the neighborhood.
A 21-year-old pregnant woman was in the house at the time of the shooting. She was not injured. The motive for the shooting is not yet clearly known, though a witness told detectives she had been on the phone with her cousin–the victim of the shooting– who referred to an argument involving Bennett and another individual, who wanted to “meet up and fight.”

When calculating the fees that the developer of a proposed community on John Anderson Highway should pay to offset the number of students the new homes will generate, the school district initially got it wrong, undershooting the number based on outdated data and leading the School Board to reject it.
The district has fixed that error and come to an agreement with the developer of the proposed community, called the Hammock Beach River Club and formerly known as The Gardens.
