WELCOMEDear Parkinson’s Community Partner,

Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s is pleased to invite you to support the Third Annual PARKINSON’S EXPO on February 29, 2020 at the Bradenton Area Convention Center in Palmetto, FL. The Parkinson’s Expo is the largest annually held Parkinson’s educational event in the country.

The Expo is a day-long event designed to educate, engage and empower the Parkinson’s community. The Expo will comprehensively address the needs of people with PD and their caregivers by offering high-quality, important information presented by nationally renowned experts in the field. The Expo will also feature interactive demonstrations and a myriad of resources to help people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers live well with the disease today.

The Expo also offers Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits and Continuing Education Units (CEU) for physicians and health care providers to learn more about treating their patients with Parkinson’s.

The 2020 Expo is expected to attract more than 1,500 attendees. There is no charge to attend the Expo, thanks to the generous support of our partners and sponsors — like you.

We hope you will consider partnering with Neuro Challenge to support the Parkinson’s community at the Parkinson’s Expo. Exhibitor space sold out in 2019. If you wish to reserve your space, return the commitment form included in this packet. The opportunities in this packet are available on a first come, first serve basis.

Please visit our website (neurochallenge.org) for more information and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

‘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.

Working closely with the FBI,the Flagler County Sheriff’sOffice has identified the Palm

JONATHAN SIMMONSNEWS EDITOR

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.

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.
