JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

Help Volusia ‘ReGrow the Loop’ The next ReGrow the Loop workshop is scheduled for 12:30-2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11, at the Ormond Beach Regional Library at 30 S. Beach St. Keynote speaker Dr. Gail Hansen De Chapman, a University of Florida Extension landscape architect and design specialist, will share landscape design techniques. Workshop participants will learn about native plant landscapes and how to arrange natives to best display their beauty, according to a county press release.

The county’s ReGrow the Loop initiative was created by the County Council in collaboration with the UF/ IFAS Extension Volusia County and other local organizations. It aims to enhance the Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail by eradicating invasive plant species, increasing native vegetation, attracting more wildlife and pollinators and implementing sustainability practices.

Registration is required.

Resurfacing of 4 miles of road to cost city $1 million Twenty-nine sections of Ormond Beach streets totaling about 4.12 miles of asphalt will be resurfaced this year.

On Tuesday, July 18, the Ormond Beach City Commission approved a $1.023 million bid by Masci General Contractor, Inc., of Port Orange, for the city’s 2023 Roadway Resurfacing Project. The bid award was part of the July 18 commission meeting’s consent agenda, which the commission approved unanimously.

The project is exceeding its $750,000 budget by approximately $270,000 in part because the city has added an extra section of road to the project list — a 400-foot stretch of Rosewood Avenue and North Yonge Street near the Easy Does it Club at 266 N. Yonge St., according to a city memo.

The project would have also exceeded the $750,000 budget without the additional work, since the contractor bid’s without the Rosewood Avenue/North Yonge Street stretch was over $822,000.

The extra money needed for the project will come from the city’s Transportation Improvement Fund balance.

In addition to resurfacing roadways, the contractor will replace curbs, gutters and sidewalks in areas where the city has deemed that necessary, the memo states.

Along with the segment at Rosewood Avenue and North Yonge Street, the following roads will be part of this year’s project: Wilmette Avenue; 2,495 feet from North Yonge Street to North Beach Street Sanchez Avenue; 1,000 feet from McIntosh Road to North Yonge Street Ormond Parkways; 2,860 feet from South Atlantic Avenue to Riverside Drive Saddle Creek Trail; 1,057 feet from

One to

save Ormond Yacht Club added to annual Florida list of threatened historic sites JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

Every year, the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation picks 11 threatened historic places in the state and highlights them to inspire communities to preserve the history in their backyards.

This year, the Ormond Yacht Club has made the list.

The two-story, 1,734-square-foot wood building on the Halifax River at 63 N. Beach St. has been a presence in the community since it was built in 1910. Few may be aware of the structure’s history, but the club’s 65 members are determined to make sure the building remains standing — and part of that means making sure the community knows its importance.

“As we’ve seen other things that we thought could be saved go away, it inspires us to put our noses to the grindstone, so to speak, and not let that happen to this building,” OYC board member Bill Partington II said.

Partington has been a member of the OYC since 2003.

The Florida Trust for Historic Preservation’s Florida’s “11 to Save” program “is intended to be part of a collaborative effort to identify custom solutions for each property,” according to a news release from 2022.

The 11 sites for 2023 were announced during the Preservation on Main Street Conference, presented by Florida Main Street and the Florida Trust, on July 19.

No funding accompanies the designation, but being on the list eases the process of applying for programs that could fund preservation efforts, Partington said.

Since 2014, only one other Ormond property has made it onto the list, in 2021: the 1976 former Ormond Beach Union Church. That year’s list was announced on July 21, 2021. The church’s demolition began six days later, on July 27.

BIG PART OF ORMOND HISTORY

On Feb. 7, 1910, the city granted the OYC approval to construct a clubhouse over the river, according to a letter to the club from the

city’s town clerk at the time. Then, on March 18, 1910, the club received approval from the Union Church’s pastor to build the structure on what was then part of parsonage ground, at a lease cost of $5 per year. Architect Sumner Hale Grove designed the building.

“The pastor spoke of there being no place for boys excepting where they ought not to be,” an extract of minutes from the church’s annual meeting reads. “... The request was granted asking the club to build a good looking house and that nothing objectionable should be carried on in the building.”

Partington has compiled those documents, and others, on the new OYC website at ormondyachtclub. com, which is still in progress.

The OYC’s earliest members included some well-known local historical figures: John Anderson and Joseph Price, who built the Ormond Hotel, and Charles McNary, one of the original aldermen of the first Ormond Beach City Commission in 1880.

“It’s a big part of [Ormond’s] early history,” OYC Past President Kevin Callahan said. “Many early members were pioneers, or sons of pioneers, and a couple of daughters — names that we recognize on street signs, maybe, or just remember from other people.”

Before he became a member in 1998, Callahan would see the building as he drove over the bridge on his way to and from home.

“I always wondered what it was,” Callahan said. “As we referred to it, there was a mystique about this place. Nobody really knew what was going on here.”

The OYC was never home to yachts, and it was originally not on the tax rolls.

It used to have a boathouse attached to a 100-yard dock, and mainly offered slips to guests of Hotel Ormond across the river.

After the boathouse was destroyed in a storm in the 1920s, the members never rebuilt it.

Now, 113 years since the club was chartered, the OYC membership owns the building, relying on dues and its annual fundraisers for its bud-

get.

It’s less about boats these days, and more about historic preservation.

“Not only is this a local landmark and part of our history, but it’s very unique because there’s just not very many of these kinds of buildings on the water,” OYC President Greg Snell said.

Snell has been a club member since about late 2004 — joining just in time to see what the hurricane season that year had done to the clubhouse.

The floorboards on the first floor had curved upward and members discovered that the floor joists were failing. The pilings also needed repair.

So the members spent $70,000 to make the OYC structurally sound.

“We thought, ‘We can’t really go through repairing the building unless we had a good foundation,’” Callahan said.

WE CAN SAVE THE OYC

The OYC was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

According to the registration form, once the boat house was gone, OYC members used the clubhouse for card games, reading, billiards, potluck dinners and dances.

“In its heyday, the club was a central part of the social activity of the community,” the form states. “Dinners, dances, street fairs, afternoon teas and meetings of the Ormond Board of Trade (the Chamber of Commerce), the Garden Club, the Ormond Beach Board of Realtors, the Ladies of the Village Improvement Association (later the Women’s Club), the Boy Scouts, Girls Club and other community organizations held meetings there.”

Snell has experience preserving historic buildings.

He previously owned and restored the historic Ormond Fire House at 160 E. Granada Blvd. It was added to

the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

As a lawyer, before becoming president, Snell mainly helped Callahan with any legal issues the membership came across during the process of preserving the clubhouse.

“I have the ability, hopefully, to lend a little bit of leadership here,” Snell said. “Kevin [Callahan], he’s still helping out for sure ... but hopefully we’re going to keep things rolling here.”

The OYC membership would love to open the building to the public more often.

On Saturday, July 22, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., members hosted a free open house for the community.

Government can do a lot of things, Partington said, but saving the building is up to the private sector.

It was thanks to Ormond MainStreet that Partington decided to nominate the OYC to the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation’s Florida’s 11 to Save program.

“In this case, I think the private interests of the group, along with the community, can do a better job of saving a historic structure than any government could,” he said. “So we’re excited to be a part of it.”

“As we’ve seen other things that we thought could be saved go away, it inspires us to put our noses to the grindstone, so to speak, and not let that happen to this building.”

Board raises rates for Swim & Racquet Club School Board approves funding for Youth Orchestra The club will have a twotier membership structure, and adult members will be charged a $25 administrative fee.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

As expected, the Flagler County School Board raised membership rates for the Belle Terre Swim & Racquet Club, but the board did compromise on a proposed administrative fee.

At its business meeting on Tuesday, July 25, board members voted 4-0 to go to a two-tier membership structure to increase revenue for the beleaguered club. Board member Colleen Conklin was absent.

A basic membership will include just the use of the gym and tennis courts. The Aquatic Plus membership will include use of the gym and tennis courts as well as the pool and sauna. By creating tiers, the School Board can charge an added fee for use of the pool and sauna for people who use the club’s facilities through their insurance and fitness plans.

The insurance plans reimburse the club for their clients who use the facilities.

SilverSneakers, the largest of the fitness plans associated with the club, approved the added fee to their clients for pool and sauna use but rejected an annual administrative fee of $50.

The board will charge an administrative fee only to its members, but after Board Chair Cheryl Massaro objected to a total increase of $170 for annual memberships, the board agreed to lower the administrative fee from $50 to $25.

“There is an administrative cost,” board member Sally Hunt said.

“Someone has to be there, help them with paperwork and then possibly process the paperwork.”

Joshua Walker, Flagler Schools’ coordinator of community services, said the paperwork usually takes 15

NEW MEMBERSHIP RATES BASIC (GYM, TENNIS) Adult annual $250 (plus $25 fee) Adult monthly $25 (plus $25 fee) Student annual $150 Student monthly $15 Insurance $0

AQUATIC PLUS (GYM, TENNIS, POOL, SAUNA) Adult annual $420 (plus $25 fee) Adult monthly $55 (plus $25 fee) Family annual $750 (plus $25 fee for adults) Single parent annual $550 (plus $25 fee for adults) Family seasonal (3 months) (plus $25 fee for adults) Adult seasonal $190 (3 months) (plus $25 fee) Student annual $200 Student monthly $20 Insurance monthly $25 Insurance annual $250 Daily use $5 (unchanged)

to 30 minutes per person, and the employees are paid about $15 an hour. Board member Will Furry, who proposed higher rate increases last month than those that were agreed to by the club’s Advisory Committee, consented to adjusting the administrative fee to $25 annually.

The fee applies to the club’s 162 adult members. The 29 student members will be exempt from the fee.

Full adult membership rates will increase from $300 a year to $420 plus the $25 fee. Adult monthly membership will rise from $47 to $55 plus the annual fee. A new family annual pass will cost $750. The administrative fee applies to all adult members.

New basic membership rates that do not include use of the pool or sauna include $250 annual and $25

monthly rates for adults.

Rates for insurance members to use the pool and sauna will be $25 monthly or $250 annually.

The board is hoping to gain more revenue from insurance members.

Walker said about 1,100 people have signed with the club through their insurance plans. From July 1 through Dec. 31 of last year, 672 unique insurance members used the club’s facilities, he said.

Although Furry agreed to the lower administrative fee, he said, “It sounds like we’re nickel and diming up here, but with as much loss as we have annually with this pool, every penny counts.”

Furry closed the discussion by taking exception to comments made by the club’s Advisory Committee president, Doug Courtney, regarding Furry’s rate proposal.

In a video, Courtney criticized the two-tier proposal, which he said has been tried before and failed. He also criticized Furry’s steep annual rate hike proposal. Courtney also had comments published on the news site FlaglerLive, where he called the rate plan “ludicrous.”

Furry said Courtney portrayed him as a bully demanding the rate increases.

“You can see that we have collaboratively worked through this, and I don’t appreciate somebody that we are working with to advise us to personally attack a board member,” Furry said. “So, I would ask in the future that we have a conversation. Our board meetings are always open to the public. And the advisory committee has even more availability, just because we’re seeking their direction. That’s not the way to go about to get what you want, whether it’s me or any other board member.”

“It sounds like we’re nickel and diming up here, but with as much loss as we have annually with this pool, every penny counts.”

The district will try to fill four find replacements for Tristam as well as Artistic Director Joe Corporon and openings, including one for a instructors Victor Rivera and Niki Mousikos, all of whom have also left. new director.

Jack Lisenby, a former FYO mem-

ber who graduated in June, urged the board during the meeting’s public comment period to get “everything lined up” for the program.

“There’s auditions and recruiting emails and instrumental rentals. So much needs to be done,” he said.

Earlier in the day, at the School Board’s workshop, Board Attorney Kristy Gavin presented a letter from attorney Mark K. Logan, of Tallahassee firm Sniffen and Spellman, concerning the funding of the FYO. Board member Willy Furry had asked for an outside opinion on the legality of the program’s structure.

Logan wrote that the firm’s review of the program “suggests that the operation and funding of the district’s program, in and of itself, does not present any operational issues other than the failure of the district’s FYO account to be subject to normal annual audit and review.”

Logan noted that the annual memorandum of understanding with the FYO “is something of an oddity,” considering the FYO is actually a district program.

“It appears that the district is entering into an MOU with itself,” Logan wrote.

The practice is questionable due to contractual concerns, he added.

“Apart from the MOU issue, we are comfortable as to how the program is currently constituted and operated given that all standard financial controls are in place as to the new FYO account and that the account is now subject to standard audit,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the district is trying to gain control of the FYO’s website and has requested all of the account’s bank statements.

The board plans to discuss the law firm’s findings as well as the audit results at a workshop on Aug. 1.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Flagler County School Board has approved its annual funding for the Flagler Youth Orchestra Strings Program. Now it needs to find a new program director, as well as a new artistic director and two more music instructors/conductors.

Cheryl Tristam, the FYO’s program director since its inception 18 years ago, resigned on July 3 saying in an article she wrote for FlaglerLive — her husband, Pierre Tristam’s, news site — that conduct toward her and the program by some School Board members “has been reprehensible and inexcusable.”

The school district has been auditing the FYO’s bank account since it discovered in May that the account, operated by Cheryl Tristam, was actually an internal account using the district’s tax-exempt ID number. The account had been set up 18 years ago by a former Flagler Schools Superintendent Bill Delbrugge. The district had lost track of the account and thus was not annually auditing it as required.

On Tuesday, July 25, the board voted 4-0 to fund $78,880 to pay the salaries of the FYO’s contract employees and provide facilities for the program at Indian Trails Middle School. The program’s internal account, which had been previously thought to be an outside account, will fund the remaining $21,000 for the salaries.

The board approved contracts for part-time instructors Lacy San Antonio, Dr. Pamela Mireles and Jeremy Bartlett, who said they wanted to continue in their roles with the FYO. But the board will now have to

Breaking ground: Ceremony ushers in Matanzas High expansion project The centerpiece of the $22-million project is a 20,000-square-foot building that will house a construction lab, CTE classrooms and a secondfloor media center.

ed into additional cafeteria space.

The project will also include a preengineered metal building by the athletic fields to support the physical education and athletic programs and a new central energy plant.

The project is expected to be completed in 24 months. It is being financed by the district’s impact fees.

“We’ve talked about this for a long time, and seeing the work begin is exciting,” Flagler Schools Interim

“When you think growth, you think, ‘OK, we need more classrooms,’ but there’s so much more that you need in a high school other than classrooms when you grow.”

KRISTIN BOZEMAN, Matanzas prinicpal

Superintendent LaShakia Moore told the crowd in attendance. “This brings life to the renderings we’ve looked at over the past year.”

Moore noted that the Matanzas expansion is the largest and most expensive construction project the district has undertaken since the renovation of Buddy Taylor Middle and Wadsworth Elementary schools, in 2010.

“The whole project is so exciting,” Matanzas Principal Kristin Bozeman said after the groundbreaking ceremony. “The scope of it is really broad. When you think growth, you think, ‘OK, we need more classrooms,’ but there’s so much more that you need in a high school other than classrooms when you grow.”

The school had 1,500 students two years ago, and expects to have going to have 2,500 students three years from now, she said.

“So, you need bigger cafeteria space, you need a bigger media center space,” she said. “You need more classrooms, yes. You need more stor-

so that we can complete all these projects, and get (the students) jobready,” he said.

Like the construction lab, the new media center will be much larger than the current space.

“It’s going to provide a lot of space for collaboration,” Bozeman said.

“It’s going to have some small-group learning spaces, conference room space, teacher workroom space.”

The construction site was cleared in the past month and has been cordoned off. Much of the area had been a parking lot. Most of the parking spaces will be restored when the project is completed, Bozeman said. The construction site cuts off a walking path.

“Everyone’s going to have to go (one) way now, but we will all just make room and be patient,” she said.

“It’s temporary, and look at what we’re going to have to show for it in the end.”

After the parents complete the case plan, the happy day arrives when children and families are reunified. Over 6,700 Florida children have been reunified with their families this past year. The final reunification represents a victory won by child welfare professionals, service providers, the judiciary, guardians ad litem, foster parents - and of course, the biological parents themselves.

Daytona Beach, Fla. - There is a widespread myth that the child welfare system wants to separate children from their families.

But the reality is that everyone involved works very hard to reunify families so they can live safely and happily together.

The non-profit organization Community Partnership for Children (CPC) leads the local child welfare system. Together with a network of community partners, CPC provides a comprehensive system of care for abused and neglected children in Flagler, Putnam, and Volusia Counties.

CPC always strives to prevent abuse and neglect before they start. The organization employs prevention programs that connect at-risk families with the local resources they need to thrive. Strengthening families in this way allows children to avoid entering the formal foster care system.

When prevention is not possible, children are removed for their own safety following a judicial hearing. In these cases, the children are placed temporarily with relatives, kinship caregivers, or foster parents. The youth receive love, care, and services while their parents follow a case plan approved by the court.

The family’s case plan includes a variety of components designed to address the underlying factors that led to their children’s removal. CPC and its partners work closely with the parent to help them through the process.

Meanwhile, the court continues to monitor the case, including a judicial review every six months.

“Compassion for those parents who have had their children removed is critical,” said Karin Flositz, CEO of Community

age closets. You need more offices.

They really thought through that in the design, and we’re really excited for everything that it’s going to bring in.”

Bozeman said she is especially excited about additional classrooms for the CTE programs. The construction lab will include a covered porch, ventilation hoods and a service area with an overhead door for deliveries.

“Right now, we have a workshop that’s the size of a classroom,” said carpentry teacher Andy Douglas.

“With this new facility, we’ll be able to do things without bumping into each other. We’re going to have a gated area with an awning where we can build bigger projects, so they can work on bad weather days without having to be confined to the classroom.”

Douglas said he has talked to the Flagler Home Builders Association about a potential job placement program.

“This is going to give us the area that we’re actually going to need,

smoking

According to the Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, quitting or reducing smoking and avoiding passive exposure to tobacco smoke may prevent hearing loss. The study shows that passive exposure to tobacco smoke compared to non-smokers was associated with 28% elevated risk of hearing loss. If you’re trying to reduce your exposure to tobacco smoke keep up the good work. This is just another awesome benefit to

reducing exposure!!

An interesting study by Friedland and colleagues showed that certain types of audiometric patterns were strongly correlated with cardiovascular disease. How can this

BRIEFS Woman found dead in marsh

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Communications Supervisor Heather Robinson has been selected as the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials’ International Line Supervisor of the Year for 2023.

She will be honored during the grand opening at APCO 2023, APCO’s annual conference, which takes place Aug. 6-9 in Nashville, Tennessee, according to a press release from the FCSO. Sheriff Rick Staly said the department is very proud of Robinson.

“This is a huge honor for Heather and the Sheriff’s Office to be recognized for her continued dedicated service to the citizens of Flagler County,” Staly said. “Our dispatchers are the heroes behind the headsets, and this award recognizes how welltrained and dedicated they are.”

Man gets life in prison for human trafficking Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Communications Supervisor Heather Robinson is the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International Line Supervisor of the Year for 2023.

A Volusia County man convicted of 11 felonies — including human trafficking, armed trafficking in fentanyl, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon — has been sentenced to life in prison plus 160 years.

Deputies pull gator from swale Several Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies practiced their alligator wrangling skills when a Palm Coast resident called about a nuisance gator on July 21.

A resident in the R Section of Palm Coast called deputies about a 5-foot alligator

tenced by Judge Raul Zambrano on July 13.

He was also convicted of two misdemeanors, according to a press release.

During an investigation in December 2022, the Daytona Beach Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit identified three victims who said Jones confined them in hotel rooms and beat them if they didn’t commit prostitution. He beat one victim so severely that she is now blind.

Detectives searched a South Ridgewood Avenue hotel room where Jones was

staying. They found illegal drugs and evidence of human trafficking and prostitution.

“The victims will forever carry the physical, mental and emotional scars from the defendant’s vicious and cruel crimes,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said, according to the press release. “It is only fair that he spend the rest of his life in prison. We will not tolerate human traffickers, and we will seek maximum penalties for those who engage in such activities.”

A Flagler Beach woman who went missing on July 18 was found dead in a marshy area near her home the next day.

Martha L. Company, 62, was reported missing by her daughter at 1:30 p.m. A search was conducted by Flagler Beach Police Department officers, Flagler County’s Fire Flight helicopter, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office helicopter, and the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office’s K-9 Unit, Patrol Division, and Drone Team, according to an FBPD news release.

Company was found dead under thick underbrush in the marshy area off South 27th Street just after 8 a.m. July 19, the press release said.

There were no signs of foul play at Company’s home, and her car was still in the driveway. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death, the press release said.

“Clearly, this was not the outcome we’d hoped and prayed for in this case,” FBPD Chief Matt Doughney said.

“The outpouring of sincere concern, prayers and post shares from citizens on social media was overwhelming, and we hope that continues as Ms. Company’s family and friends grieve the loss of Martha.”

CRIME REPORT

Communications supervisor honored

on their property in an area where children play, according to an FCSO Facebook post.

The gator was in a concrete culvert beneath the resident’s driveway.

Video of the incident (view video it at fb.watch/l_MuSiO_Fl) shows FCSO deputies pulling the animal out of the swale using a catch pole and jumping on the gator to contain it until a trapper arrived.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office employees have donated $25,645 to the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches in 2023.

Since 2017, FCSO employees have donated over $158,000 to the FSYR, according to a press release from the FCSO. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly presented the donation check to FSYR Executive Vice President Maria Knapp and Levy County Sheriff and FSYR Board Chair Bobby McCallom on July 24 during the Florida Sheriffs Association meeting.

“Our agency and I have supported the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches for many

years,” Staly said. “I am very proud of the men and women of FCSO, who not only support our children and youth locally, but donate to the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches as part of the Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities.”

The FSYR, founded in 1957, works to improve the lives of at-risk children and is credited with helping more than 173,000 children and families, the press release said.

Staly has served on the FSYR Board of Directors for the past six years and now serves as its immediate past chair.

Veterans nonprofit plans new artificial reefs in Volusia County Kids 4 Vets, based in Sarasota, is seeking countywide support to build three artificial reef sites off Ponce Inlet.

That’s how Swain and Wade started working for Eternal Reefs, an organization under the Reef Ball Foundation umbrella that places reefs made from a person’s cremated remains.

Those, of course, are more personal reef placements, Swain said.

In Volusia County, Kids 4 Vets hopes to support education about clean water initiatives as well as install artificial reefs.

“Everyone needs to realize how important the water is,” Wade said.

“You go boating and you take for granted what’s under the water, how it affects the entire ecosystem.”

JARLEENE ALMENAS SENIOR EDITOR

A nonprofit organization benefitting veterans has received the Volusia County government’s permission to build its first private reef off Ponce Inlet.

Kids 4 Vets, based in Sarasota, is looking for countywide support to build three artificial reef sites to help rehabilitate the local marine ecosystem.

Artificial reefs are not new to Volusia. Since the 1980s, the county has maintained a program to build reefs out of concrete structures and steel ships on the seafloor along the coast, according to the county’s website.

Kids 4 Vets will be using Reef Balls, concrete-mix modules made of marine-safe materials designed to attract marine life.

Nikki Swain, chief financial officer of Kids 4 Vets, said Reef Balls — supplied by Reef Innovations, a part of the Reef Ball Foundation — have been placed in more than 62 countries around the world over the last 30 years.

“They’re incredibly stable once they’re placed in the water,” she said.

A GLOBAL IMPACT

The Reef Ball Foundation has worked on 6,500 artificial reef projects and deployed more than 600,000 Reef Balls. According to the Reef Ball Foundation, 54 billion kilograms (about 119 billion pounds, or 59.5

Nikki Swain said Reef Balls have been placed in more than 62 countries around the world over the last 30 years.

million tons) of biomass will be added to the Earth’s oceans in the next 500 years due to these artificial reef systems.

Swain and Project Manager Tom Wade aim to raise $500,000 for what they have named the “Veterans Reef Project.”

The artificial reef sites will be built in stages, and a percentage of the donations will be set aside to help Volusia County veterans with service animals, mobility aids and outreach. Some of the donation money will also benefit local veterans nonprofits.

“It’s a long-term deal,” Wade said.

“We’re not looking for it overnight.”

To raise awareness for their project, Swain and Wade have been visiting local tackle, dive, surf and beachside businesses to ask if they would display either a mini reef aquarium featuring a model Reef Ball or a frame containing a QR code.

Swain started Kids 4 Vets in 2014 to help homeless veterans find housing.

The nonprofit holds an annual “Ride 4 Veterans” event during Bike Week, so Swain and Wade are familiar with Volusia County.

Kids 4 Vets also hopes to eventually install reef systems in the Halifax River, but that requires riverfront property owners’ permission.

Reef Balls can be placed in mangroves, under docks and in other areas of the river shoreline to support oyster restoration, which will help filter the water in the river, Swain said.

People, Wade said, can make a difference in clean water.

“Nature does not build this stuff as fast as we can to help the environment,” Wade said.

“We can do a lot more to help Mother Nature along in the process,” Swain added.

To donate to the Veterans Reef Project, visit kids4vets.org. Live on the river and want to find out more about Reef Balls? Contact Swain and Wade at floridareefproject@ gmail.com.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT REEFS? ACCORDING TO THE UNITED NATIONS: 70% of the world’s coral reefs are considered threatened 20% have been destroyed with no hope for recovery 24% are under imminent risk of collapse 26% are at risk due to longterm threats such as climate change and pollution.

How did a veterans organization get involved in a reef project? For Swain, a videographer, it started with TikTok. About three years ago, she was raising money for Kids 4 Vets while going live on the social media platform, and one of the boat owners who places reefs in the Sarasota area noticed and offered to let the group ride along for a reef placement — if she would go live on TikTok.

Tuesday, Aug. 15

A community of 275 townhomes may be built on a 40-acre parcel at the southeast corner of Citation Boulevard and Belle Terre Boulevard.

Palm Coast’s Planning Board voted unanimously at a July 19 meeting to approve the developer’s request to change the parcel’s zoning designation from “general commercial” to “master planned development,” or MPD. The development, called Belle Terre Estates, would include 1.75 acres of general commercial use and a 1.19acre public dog park.

City Planner Bill Hoover told the board that the developer would deed the dog park to the city after construction in return for park impact fee credits for the cost of building the park.

“This is an outstanding location, in their minds, for a dog park,” Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner said. “We have a great need for it. We only have one up in the northern section.”

The townhomes would be two stories and either 19 or 22 feet wide by 90 feet deep.

They would be low-maintenance properties ideal for retirees and new families, according to the applicant’s representative.

Each townhome will have a one- or two-car garage, plus a driveway that fits two cars.

“This is an outstanding location, in their minds, for a dog park. We have a great need for it.

We only have one up in the northern section.”

RAY TYNER, deputy chief development officer

While the board approved the rezoning request, it also

asked the developers to find ways to add parking to accommodate residents’ guests on busy occasions like holidays.

“There’s really not guest parking throughout the complex,” Board member Suzanne Nicholson said.

City codes don’t require a certain amount of guest parking, Tyner and Hoover said, but the board can recommend that the developer explore options.

The rezoning request also requires approval from the Palm Coast City Council.

The Planning Board also unanimously approved an alteration to the Marina Village MPD. Marina Village, at Colbert Lane and Rogers Road, contains eight tracts. Tract 1 is located on the west side of Colbert Lane, and Tracts 2-8

are on the east, on the north side of Rogers Road.

The tracts would contain single and multi-family residential areas, a marina off the Matanzas River, and commercial areas — shops, restaurants and possibly a hotel. The marina would have 80 wet slips and 200 dry boat storage spaces.

The alteration would affect Tracts 2-8. It would reduce the commercial area from 160,500 square feet to 103,00, increase the number of residential units from 663 to 1085, reduce the building height from 95 feet to 60 and reduce the size of the townhomes to 2,000 square feet from 2,500, while increasing their allowable height from 35 feet to 45 feet.

The MPD alteration also requires the City Council’s approval.

STATE BRIEF DeSantis eyes beer company Pointing to concerns about a hit to Florida’s pension fund, Gov. Ron DeSantis wants to know if the state can take legal action against beer company AB InBev, which has been embroiled in a controversy involving transgender social-media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

DeSantis on July 20 directed State Board of Administration Interim Director Lamar Taylor to examine how AB InBev’s conduct has affected the value of state holdings in the company. The board oversees money in the Florida Retirement System and other state funds.

“It appears to me that AB InBev may have breached legal duties owed to its shareholders, and that a shareholder action may be both appropriate and necessary,” DeSantis wrote in a letter to Taylor.

The letter came as AB InBev continues to face conservative backlash over a promotional effort with Mulvaney. The backlash began when Anheuser-Busch, which is part of AB InBev, sent Mulvaney a special can of Bud Light that included a message on the top of the can that said, “Cheers to 365 Days of Being a Woman.”

As of February, the State Board of Administration handled $235 billion in assets, including $180.4 billion in the Florida Retirement System pension plan. Included in the holdings were at least 682,000 shares in AB InBev, values at roughly $46 million.

AB InBev stock price was $58.73 on June 21. That was up from $54.41 a year ago, but down from $66.73 at the start of April. In May, Bud Light lost its top spot in the U.S. beer market.

FLAGLER UNEMPLOYMENT RISES SLIGHTLY

Flagler County’s unemployment rate increased slightly to 3.6% in June 2023, up from 3.3% in May 2023, according to a Palm Coast-Flagler Regional Chamber of Commerce news release citing data from the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.

“As predicted, Flagler County experienced significant hiring last month, which shows our local economy continues to grow,” chamber President and CEO Greg Blosé said, according to the news release. “We also eclipsed 51,000 total Flagler residents employed.

A new Children’s Business Fair was held at the Hammock Community Center on July 15.

Maria Delgado of Culinary Wellness, in partnership with Acton Academy, sponsored and hosted the inaugural event, according to a news release.

This fair offered children a chance to showcase their products and services.

“We wanted to support our young entrepreneurs in our community, and organizing this event provided them that opportunity,” Delgado said, according to the release. “I’m so proud of each and every kid vendor that participated in this one-day marketplace and thankful to everyone that came out to support them.”

Children as young as 6 were responsible for setup, sales and interacting with customers.

Eleven kid vendor tables offered items including handmade jewelry, baked goods, plants, henna tattoos, car detailing, paracord bracelets and artwork.

“Today’s youth are tomorrow’s business innovators and leaders, and we look forward to hosting this event every year,” Delgado said.

Each participant received a gift, and real estate agent Donna Dorst treated them to a surprise lunch.

Delgado, Palm Coast City Council member Theresa Carli Pontieri, and Parties by Dani CEO Danilja Martin De Howell presented certificates for “Most Business Potential,” “Most Original Idea” and “Best Presentation at the Children’s Business Fair.”

Make yourself at home

ORMOND BEACH

Observer

The path to driving solo In that early, jump-scare stage, I would cringe every time we drove by a mailbox.

BRIAN MCMILLAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

My son, Grant, taught me how to drive.

“You have to hold down the R button to drift,” he said to me about a year ago, as we played Mario Kart on the Nintendo Switch.

“I’m doing that, but it’s still not working,” I said, a note of middleaged exasperation in my voice.

He responded patiently: “You have to hold it down the whole time you want to drift.”

I remember the good old days, when the kids were smaller and we raced the easiest level: the oval track. Sure there were a few banana peels on the pavement, but nothing I couldn’t handle, and no need to

YOUR TOWN VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT

FOR SEPT. 16 COASTAL CLEANUP

Volusia County is seeking volunteers for the International Coastal Cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 16.

Residents can volunteer at more than 20 sites along the beach, Halifax River and Indian River from 8-11 a.m.

Volusia County’s Environmental Management Division is hosting the event.

Last year, 1,562 Volusia volunteers collected 8,500 pounds of trash.

drift. Now, as my children have gotten older and more capable, and the games more advanced, I was being subjected to horrible tracks like Rainbow Road, which is like riding a bucking bronco in space.

“This is dumb,” I said, as I was struck by a spinning turtle shell of shame, and I fell off the track once again, ensuring my last-place finish.

I got my revenge, though, on the real road, because around that time, Grant got his learner’s permit.

“Stop,” I said one morning, as he rolled into the roundabout at U.S. 1 and Matanzas Woods Parkway just in front of a truck. “Stop,” I said again. “STOP!” “I was stopping,” he said.

“No, no, no, no, no,” I said. “You have to stop EXACTLY when I say so.”

“I thought I had room.”

Other times, in that early, jumpscare stage, I would cringe every time we drove by a mailbox.

“Wait!” I would say as Grant pulled into our driveway too close to the edge of the concrete, the wheels of the car seemingly dangling over the edge of the culvert pipe.

As the weeks went by, and Grant dutifully tracked his driving all the

way up to the requisite 50 hours, he got better and better. I stopped feeling nervous and instead felt confident that he would be safe when the time came that he would get his license.

The day of his test finally arrived, and we drove together to the Department of Motor Vehicles. He passed without any trouble, and as we waited in line for his photo to be taken, I took a long look at him: He was still 16 years old, anxious to be an adult and, in most important ways, already as capable and mature as any adult. He would soon be in the club of licensed drivers, the same club of which I was a member, my equal.

I realized that my time with Grant is limited. Two days after he got his license, he turned 17. This will be his senior year in high school. Possibly, we will live under the same roof only 400 or so more nights, before he drives away to his next rites of passage.

As I reflect on that morning in the roundabout, when I had yelled at him to stop, I felt that I was justified in my desire to convey urgency — mistakes as a driver can be deadly.

Still, perhaps I can learn something from the patience he showed me

when I was trying to learn how to drift. Perhaps I can be less competitive and more supportive.

The other night, as a family activity, we played Mario Kart again, and I have to say, I am actually a good drifter now, deftly scooting around curves, getting that bonus boost just about every time I aim for it. I even finish in first place every so often, eliciting looks of mock amazement from my children.

I found myself looking up from the couch at Grant that night, to comment on the amusing irony of how Grant had taught me to drive a Mario Kart at the same time that I had taught Grant to drive a real car.

But he wasn’t home. He was out with friends, driving solo.

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, second from left, received the Police Executive Research Forum’s 2023 Leadership Award on July 18.

CHITWOOD RECEIVES LEADERSHIP AWARD Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood has received the Police Executive Research Forum’s 2023 Leadership Award.

PERF presented the award at its annual meeting in New York City on July 18.

The award recognizes people who make outstanding contributions to the field of law enforcement and exemplify the highest principles and standards of policing, according to a press release.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office

was an early adopter of the Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics de-escalation training program and set up its own training academy.

Between 2016 and 2022, use-offorce incidents involving Volusia deputies dropped by nearly twothirds, while the number of calls for service remained fairly steady, according to the press release.

Deadly force incidents declined to 0 in 2022.

After anti-Semitic flyers were

distributed and banners displayed in Volusia County earlier this year, Chitwood organized a press conference with a diverse group of community organizations, calling out the extremists publicly.

“Through careful study and new training, Volusia County has seen a major drop in incidents and is now a model for other agencies to replicate,” PERF Executive Director Chuck Wexler said. “And finally, when citizens were terrorized by anti-Semitic threats, Sheriff Chitwood stood tall and defended them.”

Masterclass instructor Luba Gulyaeva corrects Donovan Mansfield’s form during an Ormond Ballet workshop.

Ormond Ballet hosts Luba Gulyaeva master workshop.

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Ormond Ballet, a dance training center located in Ormond Beach, hosted a master workshop with classical ballet instructor Luba Gulyaeva on Monday, July 24. Eight dancers attended.

“All of our ballet training is based off of the Russian method, which is why we bring in teachers like Miss Luba,” Ormond Ballet Artistic Director Michelle Boutros said. “We also have a teacher with us weekly, Shana Dubrovskaya — they were classmates.”

Gulyaeva and Dubrovskaya graduated from the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Gulyaeva went on to dance with the Mariinsky Theatre, formerly known as the Kirov Ballet Company. She moved to Rochester, New York, in 1980 and taught classical ballet, pointe technique and variation at the Botsford School of Dance, according to her biography.

Dancer and choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov invited her to teach at the American Ballet Theatre School of Classical Ballet from 1988-1989.

It makes sense that Boutros’

approach to dance is founded in the classical Russian ballet style of training.

She was introduced to the methodology by her mother at age 7 and trained under Andrei Ustinov and Elena Martinson, who attended Vaganova Ballet Academy. Boutros’ mother became a professional ballerina after dancing for a Russian ballet school in Alexandria, Egypt. It changed her life, and she wanted her daughters to have the same experience.

“In my family, we try to be the greatest that we can be,” Boutros said.

“My parents instilled that in me. It’s really important that I do this for my students, because I’ve had the best volleyball coach, the best basketball coach, I had the best dance teachers, I had wonderful parents and I had so many great mentors. This is my calling. This is not my job.”

Gulyaeva has taught at a variety of dance schools, studios and companies worldwide — including Steps Ballet School and the School of American Ballet in New York City, and the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne.

She currently lives in Port Orange and guest teaches in locations throughout the United States.

Ormond Ballet student and assistant teacher Sydney Sullivan has been dancing since age 2, and at the training center since it opened in

“When you come in, I want it to be an embrace, but I also want it to be an education. I want to make sure we are not ignorant, not just to art and dance — to life. These kids’ lives are important to me. The students and [I] have built a family.”

2022. She appreciated Gulyaeva’s easy approach to breaking down the combinations.

“I love learning from new ballet instructors because they always have a different way of teaching,” she said. “During the combinations, she (Gulyaeva) made it easier for us, especially because we were all nervous. She made it more personable.”

Sullivan will be graduating from Seabreeze High School next year and has been touring colleges. She discovered that the University of North Florida has a dance team.

“At first, I was thinking that dance was just a hobby for my younger years,” she said. “UNF is my top pick college right now, and they have a dance team. It’s a lot less ballet, but at least it would keep me active and keep my head straight.”

Co-owner Jeremiah Garner said he knows the expectations of the dancers attending the workshops are different than his. The dancers are excited for a full day of dancing and a new experience, while he and Boutros use the time to prepare for the upcoming

season. Fall semester starts Aug. 14, followed by “Nutcracker” auditions Aug. 18 and the performance Nov. 17-19 at the Coliseum.

“These workshops are really meant for prepping for the season,” he said.

“Summertime is kind of like our time off, when we use it to get ready for the full season which is from fall to spring.”

Boutros said she is a very specific and consistent classical and contemporary instructor. She believes that discipline will help her students win “the race” of life.

At her training center, students learn how to take care of their mental health as well as their physical health. Dance lessons include life discussions about entrepreneurship and emotional intelligence. Her studio is a safe haven where students would get kicked out for bullying.

“When you come in, I want it to be an embrace, but I also want it to be an education,” she said. “I want to make sure we are not ignorant, not just to art and dance — to life. These kids’ lives are important to me. The students and [I] have built a family.”

Ormond MainStreet hosts 6th annual Christmas in July event More businesses participated this year than in any previous year.

ALEXIS MILLER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Ormond MainStreet hosted its sixth annual Christmas in July event on July 22, drawing record-breaking business participation.

The event supports an “eat local, shop local” mentality in the community through sales at local restaurants, cafes and shops, plus kids’ activities such as face painting, scavenger hunts and photos with Santa Clause.

“I hear stories from families that have just moved here, and they would tell me that the event is the first thing that made them feel a part of the community, and that makes me proud,” said Becky Parker, Executive

MICHELE MEYERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It was Pop Warner Day at the Derbyshire Sports Complex on Wednesday, July 19. The Mainland High varsity football players were ready. They stormed the field with equipment in hand and set up multiple drill stations to coach the Daytona Beach Pop Warner football players.

Thomas Roland is in his 31st year as the Pop Warner commissioner.

He attributes his lengthy tenure in the position to his love for kids and lifelong involvement with sports.

Unlike his son, Mainland graduate and football coach Travis Roland, he graduated from Seabreeze High School, where he was a running back and cornerback for the team.

“I do this because I love kids,” he

said. “Everything I’ve done in my life has been working with kids, most of the time.”

Thomas Roland coached most of the Mainland varsity players when they went through the Pop Warner program. If they did not play football in the program, they usually had a brother, cousin or even an uncle who did.

“It’s a wonderful thing to see Mainland giving back to the program that they came from to help these kids out,” he said. “You see how the kids are so happy out there because now they have high school guys teaching them. I want them to take a positive attitude away from this and see what these kids (Mainland players) went through. If they do the right thing, do their school work — academics first — they can take this sport and go a long way, if you put your mind to it.”

This was Arthur Westbrook’s 15th year coaching with Daytona Beach Pop Warner football. He is going on his 13th year as a running backs coach for Mainland, where he teaches algebra and geometry.

“This is where it starts, right here,” he said. “When you build a house, you have to have a foundation. So it starts here with the youth. We want to teach them the fundamentals and just the little things. Once they get over to us, if they come to us, to Mainland High School, at least they have the foundation and the fundamentals.”

Approximately 125 players rang-

ing in age from 6 to 15 arrived at the Pop Warner Day practice where Mainland players coached the kids through a warmup and football-oriented drills. Westbrook said it’s all about the repetitions — not only for the 6- and 7-year-olds, but for the older players as well.

“If you’re doing the same thing every day, it becomes muscle memory,” he said. “If you do something every day, five days a week, it just becomes natural to you every single day in practice.”

Mainland Athletic Director Terrence Anthony helped his players run the quarterback drills. He hopes the kids see the older players have returned to encourage and support them like high school players did for them in their days with Pop Warner. “‘Buc pride never dies’ resonates in this community,” he said.

Westbrook said he stays involved because he loves kids.

“The reason why I have this smile on my face is because it’s not about the money; it’s not about the fame or glory of winning the state championship,” Westbrook said. “The best thing to me is seeing the smiles on these kids’ faces, and just a kid saying, ‘Thank you.’ Like a young kid coming up and saying, ‘Coach Westbrook, thank you.’ That’s it. Makes my day.”

“The reason why I have this smile on my face is because it’s not about the money; it’s not about the fame or glory of winning the state championship. The best thing to me is seeing the smiles on these kids’ faces, and just a kid saying, ‘Thank you.”

Alexandra Gazzoli wins Florida amateur title Kaden Golder to run, wrestle at Iowa Central

After winning the biggest golf tournament of her young career, Alexandra Gazzoli told an interviewer that the accomplishment hadn’t sunk in yet.

The Palm Coast teen prevailed in a playoff to win the Florida State Golf Association’s Women’s Amateur Stroke Play Championship on July 9 at TPC Treviso Bay in Naples.

“I’d say this is the biggest event I’ve won,” she said last week after having had time to reflect on her triumph. “I’m grateful I got the opportunity to play in it, be in the final group and be in a playoff.”

Gazzoli, 17 and a student with Florida Virtual School, has committed to play golf for Florida State University next year. She plays golf for Matanzas High and won the Class 2A state girls high school championship last November after

Alexandra Gazzoli won the Florida State Golf Association’s Women’s Amateur Stroke Play Championship on in Naples.

The former Matanzas and Mainland athlete is bouncing back after a tough end to his senior wrestling season.

BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR

Kaden Golder’s senior wrestling season did not end the way he envisioned.

The Ormond Beach resident transferred from Mainland High School to Matanzas for his senior year to be in a more competitive environment.

The move paid off. Golder went 36-5, won the Flagler Rotary tournament and headed into the postseason with just one loss in his 113-pound weight class.

“He was a guy we were looking at putting in the state finals,” Pirates coach T.J. Gillin said. “At Flagler Rotary, he ran into some tough kids and went through them fast. He was steamrolling through 113.”

Golder won district, but he barely missed weight at regional, and his season — and high school career — was suddenly over.

Golder had wanted to wrestle and run cross country in college. Now he wasn’t sure.

“It was a heartbreaker for him,” Gillin said of the unexpected ending. “But it gave him motivation to get back on the mat and compete.”

On Friday, July 28, Golder will leave for Iowa Central Community College, where he will wrestle and run cross country. Iowa Central wrestling coach Luke Moffitt told Golder that the team’s 125-pound spot is open and should be his if he can make weight and show commitment.

Matanzas’ Kaden Golder wrestles FPC’s Sean Smith in a 113-pound match on Jan. 25.

“After (missing weight at regional), for a couple of weeks I didn’t know what I wanted to do anymore,” Golder said. “I just laid in bed. Then I started going to all different practices in the area, going to different tournaments, bumping up to different weight classes.”

Since the season ended, he’s wrestled anywhere and everywhere, Gillin said.

“He’s been wrestling every weekend he can find an event, in state, out of state,” Gillin said. “He hopped on some dual teams; he’s wrestled up to 138 and down to 126. He’s put in a lot of work. He’s one of those guys who wants to go out on his own terms.”

When Golder informed Gillin that he applied and was accepted at Iowa Central, so close to fall semester, Gillin said he and the other Matanzas coaches were surprised.

“He was kind of on the fence about whether he wanted to go away to school this year,” Gillin said.

Golder has a friend, Jamey Bruner of New Smyrna Beach, who is on Iowa Central’s wrestling team. Bruner’s brothers told Golder about the school.

everywhere. I thought I wanted to go to The Citadel, but they took a little too long to respond,” Golder said. “The Citadel and Iowa Central both accepted me, but I was certain if I went to The Citadel I would have been a walk-on, and I wouldn’t have a spot.”

At Iowa Central Community College, Golder will also have the opportunity to continue his fledgling cross country career. He has been wrestling for seven or eight years, and he began running cross country at the beginning of his junior year, he said.

“I just love running in the woods, in the environment,” he said. “I’d like to continue that as long as I can. My first year, my PR was in the 19:20s.

My PR (last season) was 17:24.

I’m not the fastest kid, but I’m going to keep getting better, hopefully.”

Golder said he currently weighs 132 pounds. The 125-pound weight class is the lightest in college wrestling.

He knows the spot won’t be handed to him. After seeing his state medal hopes disappear, he plans to make the most of this opportunity.

things I can improve on. That definitely gives me some confidence, because I didn’t play my best and I still did well.”

After winning the tournament, Gazzoli took a rare day off.

“Maybe the next morning (it sunk in),” she said. “My dad wasn’t able to talk to me (during play), so we talked about my rounds. I took that day off, and the next day I went back to practicing, and we worked on things I needed to work on.”

Her dad, Robert Gazzoli, played golf for Flagler Palm Coast High School and taught Alexandra’s two older brothers how to play. Alexandra tagged along and eventually became the star golfer in the family.

“She kind of grew up with a golf club in her hands since she was 2,” said Sheila Gazzoli, Alexandra’s mom. “It takes a special person to love the grind of practice, and she took to it at a very young age. She just enjoyed practicing on the range for hours. She grew up on golf courses, pretty much.”

When Alexandra Gazzoli is not playing in a tournament, she usually can be found practicing at Hammock Dunes Club.

“I’m on the course every day unless I’m sick or it’s a holiday or I’m super tired,” she said.

“Otherwise it’s every day.”

Gazzoli said she is ready to move on from junior golf to college and amateur play. But first she has one more high school season, which she hopes to cap off by defending her state title. The past two years, she competed at state as an individual. This year, she’d like to play with her Pirates’ teammates again.

“It’s my last year, and I’m hoping we can make it as a team,” she said. “That will be a lot of fun.”

finishing third as a freshman and second as a sophomore.

In the Women’s Amateur Stroke Play Championship, the rising senior defeated Oklahoma State University golfer Jacqui Putrino on the second playoff hole after both golfers shot a 2-under 214 over three rounds on July 7-9.

On the first playoff hole, the leaders each shot 5 for par on No. 18. Gazzoli then clinched the championship with a 4 for par on No. 1, while Putrino missed her par putt. Gazzoli’s celebration was low-key.

“I’m not someone to get super excited,” she said.

She shot 68-74-72 and led or shared the lead after each round. She had nine birdies in the tournament, including five on the first day, when she took a 2-shot lead.

Gazzoli and Putrino traded the lead four times on the final day. Gazzoli went up by two strokes after Putrino had a double bogey on 14 and a bogey on 15. But Putrino birdied the next two holes to force another tie, and both golfers parred No. 18 to force the playoff.

“I think I played well over the three days,” Gazzoli said.

“But I definitely have some

Project File: A complete project file is available for public inspection during the normal business hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except legal holidays), at the physical address indicated above for the Permitting Authority. The complete project file includes the Draft Permit, the Technical Evaluation and Preliminary Determination, the application and information submitted by the applicant (exclusive of confidential records under Section 403.111, F.S.). Interested persons may contact the Permitting Authority’s project engineer for additional information at the address and phone number listed above.

In addition, electronic copies of these documents are available on the following web site: https://fldep.dep.state.fl.us/air/emission/apds/default.asp.

Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit: The Permitting Authority gives notice of its intent to issue an air construction permit to the applicant for the project described above. The applicant has provided reasonable assurance that operation of proposed equipment will not adversely impact air quality and that the project will comply with all appropriate provisions of Chapters 62-4, 62-204, 62-210, 62-212, 62-296 and 62-297, F.A.C. The Permitting Authority will issue a Final Permit in accordance with the conditions of the proposed Draft Permit unless a timely petition for an administrative hearing is filed under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. or unless public comment received in accordance with this notice results in a different decision or a significant change of terms or conditions.

Comments: The Permitting Authority will accept written comments concerning the proposed Draft Permit for a period of 14 days from the date of publication of the Public Notice.

Written comments must be received by the Permitting Authority by close of business (5:00 p.m.) on or before the end of this 14-day period. If written comments received result in a significant change to the Draft Permit, the Permitting Authority shall revise the Draft Permit and require, if applicable, another Public Notice. All comments filed will be made available for public inspection.

Petitions: A person whose substantial interests are affected by the proposed permitting decision may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. Petitions filed by any persons other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the Public Notice or receipt of a written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who asked the Permitting Authority for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of that notice, regardless of the date of publication. A petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above, at the time of filing. A petition for administrative hearing must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received) with the Agency Clerk in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline. The failure of any person to file a petition within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S., or to intervene in this proceeding and participate as a party to it. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another party) will be only at the approval of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Permitting Authority’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, any email address, telephone number and any facsimile number of the petitioner; the name, address any email address, telephone number, and any facsimile number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how each petitioner received notice of the agency action or proposed decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so state; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f ) A statement of the specific rules or statutes the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and, (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts upon which the Permitting Authority’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition means that the Permitting Authority’s final action may be different from the position taken by it in this Public Notice of Intent to Issue Air Permit. Persons whose substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Permitting Authority on the application have the right to petition to become a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.

Extension of Time: Under Rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, or via electronic correspondence at Agency_Clerk@dep.state.fl.us, before the deadline for filing a petition for an administrative hearing. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon.

Mediation: Mediation is not available in this proceeding.
