Fallen Heroes Memorial Service

This week, the City and its Fire Department Honor Guard held a

touching Fallen Heroes Memorial Ceremony to remember and

honor those lost on September 11, 2001. The ceremony paid

tribute to firefighters, police officers, paramedics and EMTs with

a presentation of memorial wreaths by emergency responders and

military members. Hosted by Fire Chief Mike Beadle, the

ceremony included a parade of flags, special readings, a flyover,

music, the firefighters’ “last alarm,” remarks by Mayor Jon Netts,

and observance of the National Moment of Silence. The Fallen

Heroes Memorial recognizes the selfless acts of courage

exemplified by the members of the Police, Fire, and EMS

departments, and can be visited at Heroes Memorial Park at 2860

Palm Coast Pkwy NW. Visit the link below to view WESH

Channel 2’s interview with City employee and 9/11 survivor Yvonne Robinson, who performed a special music

tribute at the memorial service. (http://www.wesh.com/page/search/htv-orl/news/central-florida/911-survivor-looks-

Intracoastal Waterway Clean Up

The Sixth Annual Intracoastal Waterway Cleanup Event was conducted on

September 7, 2013. Over 500 volunteers collected garbage in City waterways,

parks, and trails. According to preliminary results, over one ton of debris has been

removed from the environment. As part of the Most

Unique F.I.N.D. contest, Florida Fish and Wildlife

Conservation Commission (FWC) law enforcement

officers judged entry items and elected the portable

toilet as the winner. FWC also assisted with the

distribution of life vests donated by Marineland. FWC educated about overall

boating safety in conjunction with fitting volunteers with the vests.

City Staff meet with FDOT

City staff along with Flagler County TPO, met with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to

discuss various issues related to TPO reapportionment, the Work Program, and the Long Range

Transportation Plan. A follow-up meeting will be scheduled with FDOT to discuss in more detail the City’s

objective of advancing the funding for the Old Kings Road Extension project, as well as funding the Old

Kings Road 4-laning project (Palm Coast Parkway to Forest Grove Dr.) in the 5-year work program. The City

continues to reiterate to the TPO and FDOT, the City’s concern about priority projects being negatively

impacted during the transition to the TPO.

The Flagler Humane Society holds subsidized vaccination clinics on the first

Saturday of every month. The clinics are held from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm at the shelter,

and there’s no appointment necessary! We offer an air-conditioned waiting room and

friendly service while you wait for vaccinations and microchips to keep your pet

healthy and safe. Unfortunately, we currently can’t sell heartworm medications, so

those will still have to be purchased at a full service clinic. Please call FHS at 386-

445-1814 for more information or email us at info@flaglerhumanesociety.org.

Our most recent clinic took place this past Saturday, the 7th

, and it was very

successful! A total of 38 dogs and 14 cats updated their yearly vaccinations, and

many of their owners also picked up their Palm Coast City License at the same time.

Please remember that you do have to license your pet in Palm Coast and can do so at

the shelter or Palm Coast City Hall. All Flagler Beach and Bunnell residents must

obtain pet licenses at their respective city halls.

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

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!

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 info@flaglerhumanesociety.org

for general questions, or email pitbull@flaglerhumanesociety.org for grant-specific

questions that we can be of assistance to you.

There will be an open volunteer meeting for volunteers that are interested in helping

with Outreach Adoption/Information Events. FHS would like to organize a

committee to get our adoptable pets to every available outreach opportunity. The

meeting will be held September 14 starting at 2:00 pm at the shelter. This meeting

will follow our monthly volunteer orientation that is from 12 noon – 1pm. A dog

walker volunteer orientation will follow the outreach meeting at 3pm for those that

would like to enrich the shelter dogs through walking.

Upcoming Events: FHS will now be open on Mondays starting the 16th

, we want to

celebrate being open an extra day a week and continuing our mission of finding more

loving homes for the homeless pets of Flagler County. Join us for our Ribbon Cutting

Ceremony on September 16 from 11:00 am -1:00 pm for hot dogs, giveaways, door

prizes, and much more! We will also be offering ½ price adoptions for the whole day.

FHS is still looking for sponsors and vendors for our October 26

th “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

mbertsch@flaglerhumanesociety.org.

the Shelter since arriving in March, finally found

her forever home when she was adopted the week

happy endings!

Spunky is an awesome little dog

that is 25 pounds of fun. He is a

hound mix and is only 11 months

old. He is already neutered and up

to date on vaccinations. He came

to the humane society as a stray at

the end of July. He gets along

great with other dogs and would

make a wonderful family pet. He

walks well on a leash and is happy

to accompany the dog walkers on

the daily walks. Spunky has a

great personality that photos just

can’t capture. Please come and

meet him today!
