The smell of peanut butter filled the clubhouse at Fisherman’s Landing May 21, as Brownie Troop 1006 rolled and cut dough to make dog treats for the Arni Foundation in Daytona Beach.

Lauren Reyes and the other troop moms stayed up late making over 600 treats and had enough dough left over so that the girls could make the rest. In combination with the treats, the Ormond Beach troop also received dog food and toys for them to take to the shelter.

Karate kids win state titles

Daytona College is currently adding a nursing and birthing simulation lab to accompany its new nursing program.

The nationally accredited private college located in Ormond Beach will offer the associate of science degree program starting July 11.

“We are seeing an increased demand for quality nurses in the state of Florida and we couldn’t be happier to offer this program in our local market,” President of Daytona College Nancy Bradley said in a press release. “This new program gives the college an opportunity to help more students realize their dream of becoming a nurse and help to fill open positions in the region.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of employed nurses will grow from 2.74 million in 2010 to 3.45 million in 2020. At 26%, it is the top job growth in the United States.

The college has scheduled a Nursing Information Session from 6 to 7 p.m. June 1. To learn more about the program, call 267-0565 or visit DaytonaCollege.edu.

City officials and others cut the ribbon at the Grand Opening of the Environmental Discovery Center.

The building is 2,000 square feet, and there is another 2,000 square feet of deck space circling the building, bringing the experience to the outdoors.

On the back deck, honey bees swarm in and out of an entrance into a bee hive, which can be viewed inside the building.

Outside the center, Joel and Renee Ercole, and Barbara Boss were looking at the kayak and canoe launch, because they often kayak and paddle board the lakes.

“We enjoy going through the beautiful chunnels,” Renee Ercole

THE HISTORY

Much of the credit for the center is given to Joyce Ebbets, who served as city commissioner from 2000 to 2003. She was instrumental in getting the ECHO grant, which was awarded in 2014.

City Commissioner Bill Partington, in his remarks at the opening, addressed Ebbets who was in the audience.

“You shared your vision,” he said. “Your love of the environment is infectious.”

Partington said that in a time of increasing technology, the center will remind young people of their connection to the environment.

“It will ... inspire us to be stewards of the environment,” he said.

The facility cost $800,000, and half was paid by an ECHO grant, a county program that supports environmental, cultural, historic or outdoor projects.

The restrooms will be open during the days even when the center is closed, so paddlers can use the site as a rest stop.

Anderson said as people learn about the local environment, they will hopefully appreciate it more.

A new, Florida-Cracker-style building with metal roof and wooden decks now sits alongside a lake in Central Park at 601 Division Ave. The Environmental Discovery Center drew a crowd to its Grand Opening on May 21, and city officials expect it to continue to attract people for years to come, to learn about the environment of the area.

Volunteer Ed Anderson said he and the other guides were only able to point out the highlights of the center to the large number of people coming through on tours.

“We’re just scraping the surface,” he said.

A large fish tank in the middle has local fish on one side and a display of aquaponics, how plants and animals work together, on the other.

DeLand High School auditorium was filled with an echoing din of voices, like a pep rally was about to start. But this was a different kind of assembly. It was teachers and support staff who were entering in groups, finding seats and waiting for the show on the night of May 18.

The show they were about to see was not entertaining, unless you enjoy watching four hours of budget discussions, but it kept their attention. Their salaries and insurance costs were at stake.

On the stage, a table of Volusia Teacher Organization representatives and a table of School District officials faced a third table, this one lined with Volusia County School Board members.

The union presented its side, on why teachers should get raises for 2015-2016 with no changes to insurance; and the district staff presented its side, on why raises cannot start until this summer, and why changes must be made to insurance to save money.

Their attempt to reach an agreement for the 2015-2016 school year was declared an impasse a couple of months ago.

At the end of the meeting, the School Board took the district side, offering the VTO two choices: a 2% raise for one year effective June 30; or a 4% raise for two years effective July 1.

Both offers would include a $500 cap on insurance premiums paid by the School District, meaning that the teachers would pay more for insurance for plans with premiums over $500.

SPENDING FROM RESERVES

In the debate, Chief Financial Officer Deb Muller, speaking for the district, said that without a cap on insurance, they don’t know how much to budget. Also, if raises were given for the current year, she said, it would be necessary to dip into the reserves.

Spar said that last year, the School Board said it would take control of the budget, but did not live up to promises.

“You say you have to take out of reserves,” he said. “Of course, if you don’t plan and budget, you have to take out of reserves.”

Spar pointed out how much money the School District had, and Michael Dyer, counsel for the district, asked him to say where he would cut. Spar said cuts were the School Board’s decision.

THE NEXT STEP

The VTO will next vote on the plans. If they do not accept either plan, the School Board will impose the one-year offer, according to School Board spokeswoman Nancy Wait. By law, a two-year deal cannot be imposed without VTO agreement.

At presstime, Spar said the VTO was speaking with attorneys and had not yet scheduled a vote.

He also said he expects to file one or more charges of unfair labor practice. One complaint is that the district is making changes for 2016-2017 while negotiating for 2015-2016.

An Investment in Excellence is underway.

The chamber moved into the present building in 1959 with 150 members. There are now 800.

CASSEN PARK Cassen Park is a 3.7 acre riverfront park located along the Halifax River at the southwest corner of the Granada Bridge. A bait shop, boat docks, a fishing pier stretching under the Granada Bridge, cleaning stations, and ample parking are all available on site.

A TV/VCR combo sits at the ready in the conference room at the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, offering its dated technology to the staff and chamber members.

John Walsh, chamber president (and publisher of the Ormond Beach Observer), calls it a symbol of how the chamber needs to invest in technology, staff development and business efficiency.

“We’re not where we need to be to become a top-performing chamber,” he said.

At the chamber’s annual meeting in January, Walsh announced the Investment in Excellence campaign, a capital fund-raising drive, and it was recently kicked off at a Chamber Business Prosperity Hour where several businesses donated funds.

The Chamber moved into the building at 165 W. Granada Blvd. in 1959 with 150 members. In 2002, the organization conducted

a fundraising drive to make needed renovations to the building.

Walsh sees the current drive as the third major step for the organization.

“We have 800 members and we can’t do business the way it was done 20 years ago,” he said. “We want to enhance our members’ experience.”

The stated mission of the chamber is to advocate for business, develop future community leaders, support economic prosperity and serve as the city’s visitor center.

IMPROVING COMMUNICATION

Part of the raised capital will be used to hire a consultant, Ned Harper, who recently retired from the Small Business Development Center at Daytona State College.

He and Emily Macri will identify what changes the chamber should make.

Rick Fraser, executive director of the chamber, agrees changes are due.

COMMISSION DONATES $5,000 TOWARD THE GOAL

The goal of the drive is to raise $50,000 by October. After the City Commission agreed to donate $5,000 on May 17, the amount raised to date was $17,000.

“John’s goal is to improve the way we communicate with members and staff and make sure we provide an excellent experience,” Fraser said. “One facet is to utilize technology and make sure the chamber is the best it can be.”

Fraser said the organization needs to move more into social media, for example, and he said they have already started. A committee of younger, tech-savvy people has been formed to explore what should be done.

Also, the chamber staff has begun a process to assess their individual skills, so they can be better utilized.

The tie that binds Street lined with ribbons shows soldiers they are not forgotten.

WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

The old song says, “Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.”

On Stratford Place, a road off Hand Avenue, there’s a yellow ribbon around oak trees, palm trees and even telephone poles.

Driving down the street, you see a yellow ribbon in every yard, thanks to resident Janie Rocke, a woman whose grandson, Marine Lance Cpl. Danny Rocke, has been deployed to Kuwait with plans to go to Iraq.

“This all happened because I was going to place one ribbon until he came back,” Rocke said recently. “I went to a neighbor and asked if I could put a ribbon in their yard. Later I thought, why not do it for the whole street?”

When neighbors saw ribbons appearing, they wanted one in their yard. One house has no trees, so Rocke put it around the mailbox.

Yellow ribbons have been used to show servicemen and women they are not forgotten since the 1973 song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree.”

Rocke bought out all the ribbons in local stores and then started ordering them online. She

“This all happened because I was going to place one ribbon.”

JANIE ROCKE, grandmother of a marine

said she has purchased eight rolls, each 150 yards long. They occasionally need replacing, especially after storms.

PEOPLE FORGET

A neighbor down the street, Travis Miller, appreciates the effort.

A six-year Army veteran, he said it’s good to support the military whether they are deployed overseas or stationed in the U.S. “It just shows the love,” he said.

Miller served in South Korea and two tours of duty in Afghanistan as crew chief and mechanic for a Blackhawk helicopter. His wife, Amanda, is currently on active duty in the Army.

Andrea Rocke, Danny Rocke’s stepmother, said people tend to forget that the nation still has military overseas in combat. She also noted that some people have forgotten the purpose of the ribbon.

“We put ribbons on our street and some people asked what they were for,” she said.

Danny Rocke’s dad, Sean, thinks the ribbons are “fantastic.”

“Too often we forget there are military in harm’s way,” he said.

“A lot of people have family members not at home, and they are not in a nice place.”

Janie Rocke has two ribbons on a tree in her yard, one for her son and one for his friend, David Stonerock, a marine currently on a tour in the Pacific Ocean.

She plans for the ribbons to

stay up as long as there are people deployed.

THE OLD SONG

Yellow ribbons have been used to show service men and women they are not forgotten since the 1973 song, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree.”

INVISIBLE WOUNDS

Rocke is active with American Legion 120 and veteran causes.

A member of Ormond Strong, she wrote four letters a week to national guardsmen when they were deployed.

“I am currently pouring my heart into the Invisible Wounds Memorial to honor all our veterans who have lost the battle to PTSD, and the thousands who battle this monster on a daily

basis,” she said.

The Invisible Wounds Memorial campaign aims to install a memorial in every county in Florida to raise awareness of PTSD and traumatic brain injury. The first memorial is set to be installed in Palm Coast this fall.

Finding peace after the storm Though tragic, the death of Robert Harris reminded us that good people can still be found.

EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

O

ur community faced a lot of storms last week.

We made it through the three inches of rain, navigating the slippery roads and huddling inside on our couches until the sky cleared. But even if the sun is out today, Ormond Beach is still living under a dark cloud.

The death of 18-year-old Robert Harris seemed to touch everyone in this small community. So much so, that the sanctuary of the largest church in town was nearly filled to the max for his memorial. Memories were shared, ukuleles were played and many, many tears — including some from those of us who didn’t even know him — were shed.

When tragedy hits, the overwhelming question is, “Why?” It’s nearly impossible to wrap your brain around the fact that someone whose life was just getting started, someone with all the potential in the world, is no longer here.

My own thoughts returned to a friend of mine. Not even a year after I graduated high school, Hunter Perez died during a car accident. He and group of friends were car surfing and driving recklessly through a back street in my hometown when the driver lost control, and the car burst into flames. What’s shocking about a death like that is how quickly it can happen. How easily it could have been you.

Anyone can speculate about what they would have done differently, but we don’t know why death comes when it comes. We can only control what we do in the aftermath.

I did not know Robert Harris personally, but after covering his death and the celebration of his full life, I can say that I know a few things to be true.

Robert Harris was a con-

In the spirit of finding something good out of something so sad, I encourage us all to live a little more like Robert did.

Robert Harris was a fan of going to Waffle House at 3 a.m. and knew all the songs to the “The Sound of Music,”

necter, an inviter, a person who didn’t leave anyone out.

He made everyone feel at home. I base this belief not only on his well-attended funeral, but by the large group of teens who took to the stage and said how, because of Robert, they all have friends they now call family.

In the spirit of finding something good out of something so sad, I

encourage us all to live a little more like Robert did. Be the kind of person who brings people together. Be the kind of person who opens their home to all. Be the kind of person who would make him proud.

Though the clouds are gone, this storm is far from over.

While you never fully recover from a death like this, I hope his friends and family will soon find peace.

Tons of surfboards, boogie boards, floats and an inflatable whale filled the ocean for Robert Harris.

Locally Owned

‘AN ONCOMING WAVE’ Robert Harris’ memorial revealed the 18-year-old to be a writer and loved by many in the community.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM ROBERT HARRIS Robert Harris’ mother, Patricia Best, read a poem written by her son at his funeral. The end is as follows: “You have to be ready to adapt to situations, and fight through other ones.

“Because life is not a flowing stream, it’s an oncoming wave.”

R

obert Harris never had a bad day.

According to his friends and family, the 18-year-old Seabreeze High School junior always had an infectious smile on his face and a way of making everybody feel at home. So much so, that the worship center at Tomoka Christian Church — which typically seats about 800 people — was completely filled.

“My favorite memories of him weren’t outrageous,” said Sam Boatner, a friend of Harris’ who found him after a train hit and killed him May 15. “Just sitting in his room, talking and listening to music.

He gave me the gift of friendship, and the memories we have together are worth more than a lifetime.”

Known as the kid who brought everyone together, Robert Harris’ legacy of human connection lived on through his friends’ and families’ stories during the memorial May 20 and continuing into the weekend for a memorial paddle out at Granada Beach Approach.

Awards ceremony recognizes crime solving and prevention

COPS CORNER MAY 11

Police department honors its top performers.

WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

The third-annual Ormond Beach Police Department Awards Ceremony on May 18 recognized lifesaving actions and successful investigations for 2015.

While police work was the focus of the evening at the Greg Smith Field House in the Sports Complex, actions that prevent crime were also recognized. Officer Gregory Stokes received the Meritorious Community Service Award for his work with the Outreach Unit.

“As a (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) instructor he has touched the lives of hundreds of local school fifth graders in a positive way,” the award stated.

Stokes taught bank robbery prevention and anti-bullying; coordinated several National Night Out events and the Citizens Police Academies; and volunteered with the Police Athletic League as a basketball coach and youth mentor.

The community efforts of Officer John Dovine and Jay Brennan were also honored with a Meritorious Community Service Award.

“For the better part of the past year, these two officers have come together to make a formidable team for the betterment of the Ormond Beach Community,” their award stated. “They have

TWO OF FOUR STOLEN 9:26 a.m. — 1400 Block of West Granada Boulevard Theft. While the victim was in a restaurant, someone stole two hub caps from her car in the plaza parking lot. The two stolen caps were on the passenger side and were valued at $100 each.

SUSPICIOUS WITNESS 5:10 a.m. — 1000 Block of West Granada Boulevard Vandalism. Police dispatch received a call from someone who identified himself as Jacob, then Jimmy. He said he saw two suspects running away from some businesses after he heard glass breaking.

The investigating officer found four broken windows in two office buildings. There was a coquina rock fragment under one window.

It did not appear that there was intent to commit burglary, because the broken areas were not near access to internal locks.

While investigating, Jacob/Jimmy called to ask if police found a skateboard. The officer called the number and reached a male, who said his name was Jacob, but the signal was weak and the call was dropped.

The officer conducted a search, and found that Jacob’s number was linked to a person with a different name who had been a subject in a recent vandalism investigation.

The officer then saw a male skateboarding down the sidewalk. The officer made contact, and the skater admitted to being the caller. He said he used a false name because he didn’t want his real name involved.

He said he lives around the corner and heard glass breaking.

He said he peered over to the businesses and saw two suspects running. He completed a written statement but did not have a description of the suspects.

Ormond Beach residents get Volusia County awards

Kale Cafe to be on ‘Your Business’ on MSNBC

Mannarino wins second straight year.

Both Ormond and Daytona locations were filmed for the show.

WAYNE GRANT NEWS EDITOR

Two Ormond Beach residents have been recognized for their contributions to the community by the Volusia League of Cities.

Vic Liviccori was named 2016 Citizen of the Year, and Joe Mannarino was named Employee of the Year for Economic Enrichment.

Liviccori is president of The Casements Guild, and Mannarino is economic development director for the city.

Winners were nominated by their cities and then chosen by the VLOC Board of Directors, according to Marilyn Crotty, executive director.

“Since 2005, the Volusia League of Cities has presented awards to outstanding individuals who have made their communities, and, respectively, Volusia County a better place to live,” she wrote in a letter.

The awards will be presented on May 26 at the annual Distinguished Service Awards Banquet at the Sanborn Center in DeLand.

This is the second year in a row that Mannarino won against the other economic development managers in the county.

Awards were also presented to city employees in administration, planning, parks and recreation, public safety and public works.

Mannarino was nominated by City Commissioner Rick Boehm.

Accomplishments listed by Boehm included helping to bring Super Petrel USA, an aircraft distributor; and SKYO Industries, a tool manufacturer; to the city.

Mannarino also played a role in DuvaSawko relocating to the city and the increase in manufacturing at Energizer.

“Joe works closely with Ormond Beach businesses on retention and expansion projects, and recruitment of out-ofstate businesses,” the nomination states. “Joe’s commitment and dedication to the community is truly exceptional, and it is with great pride we nominate him as Employee of the Year.”

Vic Liviccori was one of five people in Volusia County to be named Citizen of the Year.

In the nomination paper, Robert Carolin, director of Leisure Services, said, “Vic Liviccori has greatly enriched the community; his leadership, initiative, and dedication to The Casements and the city of Ormond Beach has led to major cultural improvements.”

Liviccori helped plan The Casements centennial celebration, including adding a gazebo that now stands on the north lawn. Carolin also wrote that Liviccori works tirelessly to educate the public about The Casements.

Liviccori and his wife, Kathie, created a 100-year timeline of highlights of the historic house.

You might see some familiar faces on TV in the upcoming weeks, as Omar Brown and Camille HolderBrown of Kale Cafe were recently filmed for an MSNBC show called “Your Business.”

The small-business-focused program includes a profile of a small-business owner, and guest panelists who help answer questions and work with the business owners to figure out how to grow.

Brown said they applied to be on the show because they are looking to open a third location and wanted to know the best way to go about it.

During the filming, which took place over the course of a few days this past week, the show crew went to both the Daytona Beach and Ormond Beach Kale Cafe locations and spoke with the rest of Omar Brown and Camille Holder-Brown’s family.

Though Camille Holder-Brown has a master’s degree in film and was used to that kind of spotlight, Omar Brown said he was not.

“You can get really self conscious,” he said. “But once you talk to the people enough, you get used to it.”

Brown said he is currently unaware of when the show will

S

eabreeze and Flagler Palm Coast turned out anything but an exciting showdown on Tuesday, May 24, at FPC for their spring contest, but that’s why they play this exhibition game. Final score: FPC wins 13-0.

FPC’s Keith Boswell recovered the first Sandcrabs’ fumble. After Paul Nelson sacked Brevin Glaze from the blind side, Boswell picked up another fumble. Isaac Mott then intercepted a Darrell Thomas pass to return the ball to Seabreeze. And then Bulldogs’ Kevin Pogue stripped a Sandcrab for a third Seabreeze fumble lost in the first quarter. Just before halftime, Sandcrabs’ Jalen Miranda picked off a second Thomas pass, but the Sandcrabs were unable to capitalize on any opportunities.

FPC’s Que’Shaun Byrd scored the only two touchdowns of the game, taking a two-yard run in, in the second quarter, and a 36-yard run in the third. The extra point

t the beginning of Mainland’s spring football game, I wondered what trick plays, special formations or backup quarterbacks I might see. I didn’t see any of that.

When the Bucs stepped onto the field, they were looking to do the very thing they seem to do most often: win.

After “beating” University 13-7 in three quarters, before putting in JV, Mainland’s Cyrus Fagan posted on social media: “Me and my brothers will not lose to a Volusia school. Straight up!”

The Bucs haven’t lost to an area team since 2012, when New Smyrna Beach beat them 24-21.

So, how does a team go three seasons without losing to any of its local rivals? By taking no plays off and practicing, or playing, an exhibition game like the real deal.

At a practice last summer, my brother and nephew visited Mainland’s practice, and each player tried to embarrass his opponent—friend or foe.

Whether it was the wide receivers trying to burn the defensive backs or lineman running through offensive lineman to sack the quarterback, everyone practiced with gameday aggression. Even those who anxiously awaited their turn took part in cheering on their position peers.

A few weeks ago, I walked up on a practice, where they were running other one-on-one drills. Everyone crowded the two competitors, who knew they had to give it their all. If they pleased the emperor (coach) and the arena, they were met with helmet slaps and raucous cheers.

Mainland contends for a state title year after year by playing against its best competition—in practice. According to Fagan, the Bucs have something to prove this upcoming year, and they have no time to waste.

That includes the moments when other teams may settle for mediocre effort.

I’m not much of a Roll Tide fan, but Nick Saban coined my current favorite quote: “The fact of the matter is if you want to be good, you really don’t have a lot of choices, ’cause it takes what it takes.” Mainland gets it.

Bucs show signs of another state title-contending team Mainland dominated University for most of three quarters in spring football.

JEFF DAWSEY SPORTS EDITOR

The Mainland Buccaneers outscored the University Titans 13-7 through their three allotted quarters for the spring game on Friday, May 20, at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium in DeLand.

After trailing 7-0 in the second quarter, Denzel Houston connected with Jhii Taylor for a 64-yard touchdown pass. And, in the third quarter, C.J. Wilson broke a couple of tackles before sprinting down the sideline for a 35-yard touchdown run. The extra point was missed.

In the fourth quarter, Mainland’s junior varsity quarterback hooked up with receiver Drew Plummer for a 56-yard pass to put the Bucs in the red zone, but they settled for a field goal.

Usually a quarterback, Houston goes on defense and grabs an interception.

I wasn’t drawing or painting her, and my teacher said, ‘Look closely.

There’s a figure there.’ And I saw her, and at the bottom weren’t feet, but flippers. I called it ‘The Current’ because a mermaid swims in her own current like people do. Sometimes we swim against our current, and that’s when life gets screwed up.”

BATON IS LIFE The girls (and the few boys) at Encore Baton and Dance Studio know how to bring it.

EMILY BLACKWOOD COMMUNITY EDITOR

With over 50 batons simultaneously flying and twirling through the air, there’s a pretty good chance of getting hit in the face.

To her knowledge, baton mom Kelly Phillips only knows of one big forehead welt — but it only happened because one of the younger girls ran into a wall.

“They get hit often, but I’ve never seen anyone break anything,” said Phillips, whose twin daughters have been attending Encore Baton and Dance Studio for two years. “A few black eyes here and there, but nothing too bad,” she said.

Located at 400 Andalusia Ave. in Ormond Beach, the studio has been owned and operated by Missy Fraine. She now owns the studio with her daughter, Amanda Henderson.

“It’s very healthy,” Fraine said.

“It teaches the kids a lot of life skills, more than just the sport.

Some of these baton twirlers have been practicing since they were 4 years old.

REIGNING CHAMPS

Encore Baton and Dance Studio creates nothing but winners, and their track record speaks for itself.

Overall national champions for their age divisions: n Jaylah Poku, Miniature Majorette Princess of America for ages 4-6 n Jaiden Harvey, Wee Majorette Princess of America for ages 7-8 n Riley Doyle, Little Majorette Princess of America for ages 9-10 n Sara Beck, Senior Marjorette Queen of America for ages 15-23 Elite Twirlers: n Summer Bell, Petite Majorette Princess of America for ages 10-12 n Kyndall Koenke, Majorette Queen of America for ages 15-23

They’re my grand-baton babies.”
