YOUR TOWN MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE Illinois retired pre-K coordinator Mary Nuckolls was picking shells on the beach in front of her holiday condo in Ormond-by-theSea on Wednesday, Oct. 24, when she spotted a message in a bottle.

Nuckolls, along with her friend Judy Larson, also a retired pre-K coordinator from Illinois, contacted the Ormond Beach Observer to open the mysterious bottle together.

“I’m hoping it’s a treasure map,” Nuckolls said.

“I told my husband if it’s a treasure map, I won’t be home for a while.”

It wasn’t a treasure map, but it was a love story. The bottle hadn’t been drifting for long — the note was dated Oct. 21. It was written by a New York couple visiting Florida. They wrote they had just gotten engaged.

Ormond man’s body found in Halifax River

Bus driver charged for ‘bopping’ student’s head

The Ormond Beach Police Department discovered the body of a 28-year-old man in the Halifax River on the night of Wednesday, Oct. 24. The victim had been reported missing by his girlfriend the day before.

The man was identified as Ormond Beach resident Luis Roberto Miranda, who was last seen by his girlfriend leaving their apartment to skate at 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Police reported Miranda was known to skate at night and frequented both The Trails and the Granada Bridge. When he failed to return home that night, his girlfriend contacted law enforcement.

Police reported that preliminary findings indicate that Miranda’s “fatal injuries may have occurred as a result of an accidental fall.” Officer Keith Walker said in an email that police believe he fell from the Granada Bridge.

No foul play is suspected, and Miranda did not use narcotics and was not known to be depressed. OBPD’s investigation is ongoing.

Miranda’s family has set up a GoFundMe page to help with his funeral costs. See the online version of this story for the link.

An Ormond Beach parent has pressed a battery charge on a local school bus driver after finding out he hit her son’s head about two weeks ago.

Ormond Beach Police report that the 73-year-old bus driver, who shuttles students at Pine Trail Elementary, can be heard on the school bus surveillance video for Oct. 12, telling the student to “turn around now, sit down,” due to the child “horse playing” with other students sitting around him. The report continues to state that the driver eventually left his seat, walked back to the student and hit him on the top of his head with an open hand. Police report that the driver then said, “That’s how you get hurt doing what you’re doing.”

When the driver arrived at the student’s bus stop, the video shows him speaking to his mother about the incident and telling her, “I had to go like this to his head just to get his attention.” The mother, who reported the incident to police, described the strike as an “open-handed bop.”

No injuries were reported.

The bus driver was named as the defendant for battery in the police’s charging affidavit.

Car Buying Countdown, Part 2 out of a dealership in the middle of a transaction, maybe you didn’t try hard enough!

Last week, I started a countdown of car buying tips.

I discussed dealer fees, the key information dealers know (that you don’t), the things DAVID HOLLAND CPA, CFP® that aren’t relevant to your car buying decision, and “time limits” for a sales transaction.

Today, I’ll share six more nuggets of advice and two personal stories!

#17 - Do not drive the new car, and do not discuss the transaction, until you have the key to your trade-in vehicle back (from being appraised) and you know where it’s parked.

You need to be able to leave at any time.

#20 - The car salesperson doesn’t work for you or represent you in the deal. Ignore personal questions. You’re not there to make friends.

Keep your guard up. In fact, if you want to have a little fun, turn the tables and ask the salesperson off-the-wall questions! #19 - Even if you’re told you’re getting the dealership’s “best price,” salespeople rarely start with the lowest price for the new automobile and highest value for your trade. A true story: Not long ago, I traded in an older vehicle for a newer one. I asked the salesperson to give me the dealership’s lowest price without going back and forth to his manager ten times. He said they wanted my trade and $15,000. I asked for the manager and pressed him for a lower price. A few times I asked, “What is the price that, if I gave you one dollar less, you would let me walk out the door?” That produced two more “lowest prices.” When all was said and done, the final number was $9,000! I saved $6,000 because I kept asking if they would take less. I was willing to walk out (and they knew it). #18 - The buyer’s most powerful tool is his/her feet (see the story above). If you never walked

VISION for FUTURE

#16 - If you’ve reached a “deal,” but then they come back to say there was a “mistake” (or give another reason for a cost increase), walk out.

This might be hard to do since you’ve already invested so much time and energy. But do it!

More than once, the “mistake” was magically rectified when I told them, “Well, then we are done here” and stood up to leave. #15 - If you get any indication that the dealership has questionable practices, walk out.

Example: While shopping for my teenage son’s first vehicle, we were discussing a used truck with the salesperson. A manager strolled over and said that he would reduce the price “just for us.” As it turns out, his “lower price” was already painted on the windshield of the truck!

We got up and left. You, too, could encounter a shady dealership, but don’t lose heart, there are honest, reputable ones out there!

Could there possibly be more tips? Yes! We step on the gas with 14 more next week!

County says raising impact fees is not sole Volusia County solution. Residents feel it’s a good start. seeks a voice

in Washington

Though adjusted several times throughout the years, Volusia County is still basing impact fees on a 15-year-old study.

Council’s split vote showed that both lobbying firms had something to offer, chair Ed Kelley says.

JARLEENE ALMENAS

NEWS EDITOR

The message to the County Council from the majority of the people who attended Volusia County’s impact fee workshop in Daytona Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 30, was clear: Raise the impact fees.

“Act on it,” said Mary Anne Connors, former deputy county manager. “Act now.”

This was the last of four workshops held throughout the county to inform residents of the results of the county’s new thoroughfare impact fee study, which was presented to the County Council on Oct. 2. The study recommended that impact fees be raised by up to 241% in some land uses. Doing so, according to the Duncan Associates study, could bring in a little more than $6 million in revenue to the county, although most members of the council said this wouldn’t solve all of Volusia’s infrastructure needs.

Though impact fees have been adjusted for inflation in the last 15 years, rates are currently based on a 2003 study. The County Council in 2007 considered updating fees but voted against it due to the economic climate. In 2011, it also suspended certain residential fees for two years; those fees were reinstated over a three-year period.

The Volusia County Council voted 4-3 to begin contract negotiations with federal lobbyist firm Becker on Tuesday, Oct. 30. The council hopes having a presence in Washington, D.C., will open new opportunities for Volusia.

“I look forward to the negotiation and a long-term successful relationship,” County Council Chair Ed Kelley said.

Becker was one of seven firms to apply, but the council only asked for presentations from it and Maryland firm The Color Nine Group LLC. Based in Fort Lauderdale, Becker is a sevenperson bipartisan firm operating in Washington, D.C., since 2011.

Kelley, along with council members Joyce Cusack, Billie Wheeler and Deb Denys voted in favor of selecting Becker.

The split vote was not necessarily a bad thing, according to Kelley. “It shows we listened, and you both had something to present,” he said.

Omar Franco, the managing director of Becker’s Washington, D.C., office, described his firm as a “boutique” practice with a “unique balance” between public entities and private sector corporations.

Clarence Williams, senior government relations consultant for Becker, said opportunities for Volusia County included building an aerospace industry, because of the presence of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

“There’s the talent here to do it,” Williams said. “There’s the space here to do it, and all you need really is the impetus and the capital.”

Kelley said he believes a contract with a federal lobbyist firm will benefit the entire county.

RISK AND REWARD

Clay Ervin, county director of Growth and Resource Management, said even if impact fees are adjusted by December, they wouldn’t be in effect until 90 days later, per state requirement.

Ervin outlined how impact fees (which are used as a local government funding source for new and expanded public facilities) are calculated. He said impact fees are insufficient to fund the county’s extensive thoroughfare road needs.

firm, said he understands impact fees are needed, but should the council choose to raise them, he asked for the council to stagger them versus “shocking the system.”

“When they say ‘they’ will build a road, or ‘they’ will pay for things, it’s a developer that has to go at risk for long periods of time with great sums of money,” Valley said.

The importance of the impact fees is not in the dollars generated, said Connors. “It is absolutely critical in terms of fairness,” she said. “The funding resources for road construction, infrastructure in this county, are simply not adequate to the needs — the needs as they exist today, the needs as they’re going to exist in the future.”

Public input from all the workshops held in the last week will be presented before the council at its meeting on Nov. 13.

‘IMPACT FEES ARE REGRESSIVE’

Ormond Beach City Commissioner Dwight Selby asked if impact fees could be adjusted based on home value. He has recently been studying the topic because he was looking into developing some workforce

housing in Ormond Beach, with home values between $150,000 and $175,000. Selby said that in Ormond, impact fees based on the current rate would generate $12,000 per house, regardless of the home’s value.

Impact fees account for 8% of the total cost for a $150,000 home.

In contrast, impact fees only make up 0.5% of a $2 million home.

“Impact fees are incredibly regressive,” Selby said. “They really kill the poor, especially in housing.”

Despite other speakers expressing a similar sentiment, Deputy County Attorney Jamie Seaman said calculating an impact fee based on home value is not possible, as impact fee calculations are based on trips generated. A cheaper home and a million-dollar mansion generate the same 10 trips, she said.

However, the county has looked at the possibility of calculating impact fees based on the number of vehicles per house.

FUTURE OF THE HALF-CENT

Connors said that until the county addresses impact fees, there will never be a broad support for a new half-cent sales tax, which,

after the county rallied all 16 municipalities to support a referendum, the council stopped in May because of an audit requirement and because there were calls for further discussion of impact fees first.

But while impact fees and a halfcent sales tax could complement each other, raising impact fees is not the total solution to funding Volusia infrastructure, Ervin said.

Impact fees can only be used for brand new roads and expansions on the county’s thoroughfare road network. If enacted, a half-cent sales tax would have generated about $42 million to fund road maintenance, water projects and other infrastructure needs in both the county and individual cities.

“They’re two different animals,” Ervin said.

Selby said the county needs to raise impact fees so the dialogue for a half-cent sales tax can begin again.

Daytona Beach resident Ann Ruby felt the half-cent sales tax would affect the poor more, and called it regressive. Others repeated Connors’ sentiment that impact fees would have to be raised before residents could ever consider voting for a half-cent sales tax.

‘Shrimpwreck’ gets tugged away A failed attempt on Oct. 30 drew a crowd.

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

The shrimp boat beached near Cardinal Avenue was successfully pulled out to sea at 2:30 a.m. on the morning of Oct. 31. The Coast Guard had initially reported the attempt would be made at high tide during the day. The boat had been on the beach since Oct. 15.

A crowd lined the beach near the Cardinal Drive approach on the afternoon of Oct. 30 for the first attempt to remove it. The crowd began to thin out after a couple of hours of watching the relentless tugging. At one point, a line broke,

and there was a pause while a larger line was attached. Petty Officer First Class Luke Clayton, of Coast Guard public affairs, said they were using a synthetic line stronger than rope and another option would be a chain.

The tug boat, the Rio Bravo from Marine Salvage and Supply Inc., was hired by the shrimp boat owner. Inspections show the shrimp boat is seaworthy, and no official cause for the beaching has been released.

The boat captured the imagination of the community. After the news was reported that the boat was gone, one reader posted on the Ormond Beach Observer’s Facebook page, “I never got my selfie with it!” Another said, “Phooey! I was hoping to see her set free.”

The shrimp boat was a popular photo subject for Ormond Beach residents.

As of press time, it was on its way to a Jacksonville shipyard.

ECONOMIC UPDATE At its meeting on Oct. 30, the County Council also reviewed the county’s economic development for the third quarter.

Here is a breakdown of the most notable statistics: n Volusia County’s labor force increased by 1.1% compared to last year’s thirdquarter data. n Unemployment in the county decreased by 14.8%, and the county is now on par with the state’s unemployment rate of 3.6%. n Ormond Beach’s labor force average is 20,162. The city’s unemployment rate is 3.5%. n The county as a whole saw 817 residential permits for new construction, valued at $250 million. In contrast, only 30 commercial permits for new construction were issued countywide, valued at about $66.9 million.

T

he city has ensured a former mayor’s legacy lives on by naming the Ormond Beach City Hall plaza in his honor.

Charles David Hood Jr. served as a city commissioner from 1992 to 1994, and then mayor until 1999. Then, over a decade later, he ran and won the race to represent Florida House of Representatives District 25 in 2012. When his term was over, he looked to the 7th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida instead of re-election, and was ultimately appointed to the bench by Gov. Rick Scott. He served as a judge for two years.

In the eyes of those who served on the commission with him, Hood was an organized and driven official.

Volusia County Council Chair Ed Kelley, who was elected to the Ormond Beach City Commission in 1993, said Hood was good at setting goals and objectives for the commission, and that he was focused on being fiscally conservative. Kelley, who also served as mayor, said he and Hood shared a similar philosophy in making government work more efficiently, by approaching it with business mindset.

“It was really neat having someone [like Hood] as a leader to be able to work with,” Kelley said.

Kelley said Ormond Beach was the first city in Volusia to go into zero-based budgeting under Hood’s leadership. Naming the plaza after him is “a worthwhile recognition of someone who gave a lot,” Kelley said.

Another former Ormond Beach mayor had nothing but good things to say about Hood.

District 4 School Board member Carl Persis said Hood was a “forward-thinker” with a quick wit. Meetings were succinct, and Hood always made a strong case for his beliefs.

“You didn’t want to get on his other side,” said Persis with a laugh. “He could level you out very quickly.”

Hood was also the one to suggest the city contract out its waste management services, something most cities now do but in 1995

was “way out there,” Persis said.

Seeing Hood at the city’s dedication ceremony to christen the “David Hood Plaza” on Saturday, Oct. 27, meant a lot to Persis, especially considering Hood’s current battle with cancer.

“I thought it was so courageous, and it just took so much strength for him to do that,” Persis said.

Ormond Beach resident Peggy Farmer said Hood’s entire adult life was focused on helping those in need. He was chairman of

organizations like Easter Seals of Volusia and Flagler and the Halifax Habitat for Humanity. He gave away toys to children on Thanksgiving and helped open up a charter school during his time on the Easter Seals board.

“He just is truly a remarkable human being,” Farmer said. “A lot of people don’t know that about him because he never boasts.”

Farmer has known him for a long time. She used to help him with his campaigns in the 1990s. One of the stories that has touched her the most about Hood happened after he was diagnosed with cancer. He was going through chemo when a substitute teacher called him about a little girl who also had cancer and would likely not make it through Christmas.

Farmer said Hood asked the teacher to tell the girl to make a list of all the things she wanted for Christmas. The little girl did so, and Hood and his secretary bought all the things on her list.

The little girl died two weeks after Christmas.

Farmer knows the dedication of the plaza was a special day for Hood.

“It was really nice,” Farmer said.

“To be there and witness it and for him to have that memory to sustain him now for the rest of his life, I know it means a lot to him.”

The new pier will be designed to withstand a Category 2 storm and an 8-foot surge with wind load of 110 mph, Noble said. In addition, it will also feature ADA accessible fishing stations, a fish cleaning station and new lighting.

“The pier is a multi-purpose amenity that provides not only for fishing but is used by walkers and joggers and for general site seeing,” Noble said.

This is the latest pier repair project for the city. Repairs to the Fortunato Park pier began in August. The pier at Bailey’s Riverbridge Gardens was repaired earlier this year.

Repairs for the Cassen Park pier will soon be underway, as the city has accepted a contract bid for the project totaling $759,125.

The pier sustained extensive damage due to Hurricane Irma in 2017, demolishing about 6,600 square feet of decking and framing, according to a city document.

Only the pilings remained after the storm. The City Commission authorized staff to advertise a bid for the repair project in early August.

The contract was awarded to Brothers Construction Inc., a Stuart-based company that recently repaired the fishing pier at the Dunlawton Bridge in Port Orange, which was also damaged Irma. The project entails tearing down all of the existing pilings and rebuilding it completely. City Engineer John Noble said in an email that construction should start sometime in December or January.

“We won’t know for sure until we have our pre-construction meeting with the contractor,” Noble said. “The contractor has 180 days (6 months) once he starts work to complete the project.”

The city is paying for this project primarily with FEMA funds; those will cover 75%. A city document stated that state grants will cover an additional 12.5%, and money

Ormond is better for having the debate Observer

MY VIEW

ORMOND BEACH

KEN AND JULIE SIPES GUEST WRITERS

L ETTE RS

Here we are, just five days out from the election, and we are amazed at where we are: that the citizens of Ormond Beach have a choice in who will lead our city for the next two years.

When the idea of CANDO 2 was birthed, we never knew where it would lead. We just knew there was a disconnect between the city government and many of its residents. We never imagined we’d be in this place of having all five com-

Your explanation of Granada Pointe was right on Dear Editor: Your opinion page in the Oct. 18 edition of the Ormond Beach Observer struck all the right notes. You explained both sides of the CANDO argument in detail and why the City Commission did the right thing in approving Granada Pointe. In addition you went beyond borders to endorse highly qualified candidates for national offices.

Great work.

ED CONNOR Ormond Beach

Why no campaign signs on Granada Pointe?

Dear Editor: Open letter to Ormond Beach City Commission incumbents and Mrs. Susan Persis: Why no campaign signs on your pride and joy Granada Pointe, the clear-cut monument to your successful administration?

Ashamed, guilty afraid?

MIKE YOUNG Ormond Beach

Those in power need to repent Dear Editor: This time around it is very different. There are qualified challengers for each of the City Commission seats.

For those of you just starting out, pay heed. For those of you currently in power, it is time to repent (and we all know who you are).

You must take care who you step on as you ascend the socalled political ladder of success. It is a long way down, and you never recover your stature in the political arena.

ED KOLASKA Ormond Beach

Get to know Mayor Bill Partington Dear Editor: Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington once told me, “Being the mayor of this city is the best job in show business.”

With all the challenges and

mission seats up for election.

We believe there are important issues facing our community and that the public debate has been necessary and healthy.

It’s unfortunate that there have been many false accusations aimed at our group.

We are disappointed that the Ormond Proud PAC would think Ormond residents would be fooled by false advertising.

For the record: 1) All five of the CANDO 2-endorsed candidates continue to support our strong leisure and recreation services and resources for young and old. In fact, all the candidates have been impressed by the city employees.

2) All five of the candidates bring excellent life and career experiences that will help them serve on the City Commission.

From working in state government, to education, to banking, to the judicial system, to security and military service, and HOA president, that’s a broad and diverse range of experience that will prove helpful to our town.

3) CANDO 2 is for LowImpact Development. We are for development that makes sense and is economically and environmentally sustainable. We are for development that preserves or enhances our quality of life in Ormond Beach.

4) The endorsed candidates want to ensure that the developers, rather than the average taxpayer, pay their fair share of the cost for required infrastructure.

Please note that thousands of developer dollars have been

opportunities he “juggles,” he finds personal and professional fulfillment in his mayoral position.

One major opportunity that Mr. Partington continually promotes is maintaining a policy of “smart growth” for Ormond Beach, “so that Ormond Beach retains its unique ‘Southern moderate’ pristine and people-friendly ambience and not become another blight-ridden, overcrowded South Florida,” he said. He pointed to Ormond Beach’s gradualism in growth, diversified local economy “without the overdependence on the feast-and-famine tourism of surrounding cities,” and the town having one of the lowest tax rates in the 16 cities comprising Volusia County.

As a civic leader and environmental protectionist, Mayor Partington has helped push creation of the Ormond Beach Environmental Discovery Center, as well as water quality improvements and flood control facilities via interconnection of the Central Park Lake System.

In civic and community affairs, he has, among other honors, won the Home Rule Hero Award twice in a row (2015 and 2016) while serving as city commissioner from 2003 to 2016, and he is a regular participant in the Teacher of the Quarter award program sponsored by the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce.

A major motivating factor in Mayor Partington’s determination to maintain and preserve Ormond Beach’s unique quality of life is that he is a thirdgeneration resident of the city (his grandfather moved here in 1948 and opened the downtown ACE Hardware Store) and wants to pass the same quality of life to the fourth generation of the Partington clan.

As a longtime Halifax area resident and former Ormond Beach resident (my first newspaper job was with the old Halifax Reporter in the 1970s), it is my hope that, come Election Day, the people of Ormond Beach retain Bill Partington.

Ormond, vote for environmentally conscious candidates

EMMET KELLEY Ormond Beach

Dear Editor: How could it be, the devastation that has already taken place all over the planet, that we could let acres of trees be destroyed?

How could it be that we ourselves can turn on ourselves in a time when we already know what is happening to our wetlands, to our seafood industry, regardless of how people want to frame it?

Time for us to wake up from the dream of childhood, and take care of ourselves. Don’t complain and act like victims, and expect “them” to do it.

Wake up! Before there are no bees left, no oysters to harvest, and the oceans and rivers can’t be cleared of our plastics and poisonous run-off.

It is time to wake up and go to the polls for what you love.

I live in Zone 2 and am voting for Joe Dugan, and I’m supporting my good friend, Kathy Johnson in Zone 1 for city commissioners, both backed by the Sierra Club. Vote! Vote for the candidates in your zone who are environmentally conscious, Sandy Kauffman in Zone 3, Barry du Moulin in Zone 4, and Rob Bridger for mayor.

Rules for development can be adapted Dear Editor: Much has been written about the undisputed value of urban public forests. Not much literature is written about the destruction of over-mature, declining, rotting and otherwise deteriorating trees.

The planners and elected officials who encourage development of public land with well-designed and maintained wooded sanctuaries and the cities who hire landscape architects and urban arborists are to be commended. There is a lot to maintaining healthy trees — disease and insect control are iffy at best — and it is worth every penny.

Much has been written about how much say a city’s citizens should have about the use of

contributed to the campaigns of the incumbents and Ms. Susan Persis.

We believe the citizens of Ormond will rise above the scare tactics and see through the false and negative messaging. We are grateful to all five of the CANDO 2-endorsed candidates for stepping up for the city they love. It takes courage to do what they have done. We’d also like to thank our supporters for their hard work and passion.

No matter the outcome, Ormond will be better because of this citizen engagement.

We believe Ormond will move forward in tackling our challenges. We encourage everybody to vote. It’s the first step in our democracy.

Ken and Julie Sipes are cofounders of CANDO 2.

WHAT DO CHAMBER MEMBERS THINK? The Government Affairs Committee, formed in September 2017 at the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce, recently conducted a survey among chamber members. Chamber President and CEO Debbie Cotton said the results show that although there are “slight concerns” about traffic on Granada Boulevard, the city is business friendly and growing in a responsible way. ”I feel we are fortunate that businesses want to invest, expand or open in Ormond Beach,” she said.

With 86 members responding to most questions, here are the results of the poll: 1. Ormond Beach has been growing in a responsible way. n 76.7% agree n 15.1% disagree n 8.1% no opinion 2. Ormond Beach is a business-friendly community. n 88.4% agree n 2.3% disagree n 9.3% no opinion 3.

We feel like we should enjoy and control certain things in our urban environment. Thus the thick book of ordinances and the onerous rules of the land development code.

These rules are constantly in flux. By that, I mean that minor changes can be adopted if the rules are followed. There are rules about public notice, transparency, and professional planning staff review it before any legislative action can happen. The point is, a lot happens before the news story comes out.

Accepting personal responsibility for knowing some of the rules and following what is going on requires some effort.

It can be made easier to understand. Some of the developers have suggestions that they think would be good for them and good for the environment.

Our development review boards would like to have more public participation. Working together, there is room for some movement on the issue of how can we do a better job of infill development and still preserve the nature of our community.

Dear Editor: I wrote an opinion article that was published by the Ormond Beach Observer on Oct. 11. It was intended to be a positive reflection on my experience with the city. It touted Ormond Beach’s great quality of life. Based on my personal knowledge of the incumbents, I endorsed them.

Based on her letter to the editor, Ms. Sandy Kauffman either misread my opinion article or has distorted the facts.

On Oct. 11, I said, “I do not know nor have I been involved with any of the people running against my fellow commissioners. They have not been on the city commission, have not served on city advisory boards nor were they or are they active in civic organizations and youth sports organizations to which I have belonged” (emphasis added).

I have belonged to many organizations during my 32 years in Ormond Beach. Until she filed to run, I had never met Ms. Kauffman. I have no knowledge of what she has done with other civic organizations. I only know that I have never worked with her in any of those to which I have belonged. She may be a great volunteer. She just hasn’t been a great volunteer in the organizations of which I am familiar.

If Ms. Kauffman knew anything about me, she would have learned that I was awarded the Volusia League of Cities Citizen of the Year Award in 2008 in recognition of my decades of commitment to volunteering. I have thousands of hours working with hundreds of volunteers, none of whom were Ms. Kauffman.

If she uses an article that doesn’t mention her to launch an all out attack on someone who has never individually attacked her, what does that say about the type of person she would be on the City Commission? Consider that fact when you go to vote.

CRY FOR HELP 11:36 a.m. — 300 block of South Atlantic Avenue Operating with a suspended license: A 38-year-old man tailgated a police officer in a motorcycle, causing the officer to switch lane. The officer initiated a traffic stop after he determined the man was going above the speed limit. The man told the officer, “I was trying to flag you down because I’m looking for the CVS.” The officer asked to see his license and registration, and the man handed him a paper with all his information, saying he was attempting to transfer his license from North Carolina to Florida and that all his documents had been previously stolen. Via the agency Tele-Type, the officer discovered the man was a sex offender, a violent felony offender and was on probation out of Daytona Beach.

His GPS tracking device had been cut off, police report, and was found near the beached shrimp boat on the shore. He was taken to jail.

Darius Malon leaps to attempt a catch against Mainland.

ith the postseason on the horizon, Mainland coach Scott Wilson is doing everything he can to prepare his team.

On Thursday, Oct. 25 — the night before Mainland played its final game of the regular season — Wilson made the 250-mile trek to Miami to watch Northwestern take on Miami Norland — teams the Buccaneers have a good shot at facing in the playoffs.

The Buccaneers had further opportunities to fine tune their execution against rival Seabreeze the following night. Propelled by 86 rushing yards and three touchdowns from senior running back D’Andre McMillian, the Buccaneers (7-3) dominated the Sandcrabs 43-0 on Friday, Oct. 26, at Daytona Stadium. It was Mainland’s eighth straight victory over the Sandcrabs.

The Buccaneers led 36-0 after halftime, prompting a running clock in the second half, which allowed Wilson to give playing time to guys deeper on the bench.

“I was impressed with a lot of our young guys who got in,” he said. “That’s what you want as a program: to get the young guys in and get them some experience.”

Mainland’s Andrew Plummer absorbs a hit after a reception.

The Buccaneers have a bye in Week 11. The postseason starts the week after.

McMillian, who capped off the regular season with 18 total touchdowns (16 rushing, 2 receiving), thinks the Buccaneers are playing their best football.

“We’ve been working hard in practice. We’ve been paying attention,” he said. “We haven’t been lacking or slacking — none of that.”

Former Sandcrabs player to coach Seabreeze boys soccer

“He knows the program well. I think he understands our culture, understands the bar we set for these studentathletes. It’s more about being a family.”

Elias Freidus was a member of Seabreeze’s 1992 title team. He hopes to fill the shoes of another championship-winning coach, Nate Murphy.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

When Elias Freidus steps onto the soccer fields at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, all the memories come rushing back: The long hours he spent practicing on those very fields when he was a defender for Seabreeze High School’s boys soccer team, all the games they won, and the first state title the Sandcrabs captured in 1992, Freidus’ senior year.

Not once in his past did he ever

envision where he is now: Freidus was named the head coach of the boys varsity team following the Sandcrabs’ 1-0 loss to American Heritage in Class 3A state championship game Feb. 24 last season. Then-head coach Nate Murphy, who was moving to a different part of the state with his wife, recommended Freidus, then the junior varsity coach, for the position.

And despite last season’s heartbreaking end, in which the Sandcrabs lost on a last-second goal to

the Patriots, that game was still Freidus’ most-beloved memory with the program.

“That was the most heart I’ve ever seen out of this team,” he said. “It was heartbreaking, sure.

But I was so proud of the kids at the same time. They put on a show.”

The Sandcrabs’s top three goal scorers from that season — team captain Franco Perez, Jason Collins and Jacob McNeely — all graduated in 2018. However, Freidus’ goal for his first season at the helm will be the same as every Sandcrabs team before him: a state title.

Over 60 kids showed up for tryouts, many of whom are experienced club players. The Sandcrabs also return key pieces in keeper Cameron Bowling, Nate Thompson, Will Crotty — part of a senior class that coaches described as “loaded.”

The coaches don’t quite know yet who will step in to fill the production lost to graduation.

“I wouldn’t tell you even if I did know,” Freidus joked.

But many of the players have already bought in.

“He’s told us a lot of his ideas, and he’s very creative,” Thompson said. “We’re willing to work with him. We’re willing to follow through with his plans to finish

out what he wants for us.”

Bowling was in Freidus’ AP Chemistry class last year.

“He’s very intelligent,” Bowling said. “I’m really excited to work with him because I loved him as a teacher, and I think I’m going to love him as a coach.”

Freidus said he doesn’t plan on changing very much — if anything — about how the team will be run.

The Sandcrabs had their first practice the night of Monday, Oct. 29. Freidus mostly observed and made quiet corrections while nine-year assistant coach Rob Bowling and fellow assistant coach Jon Kinsler directed a competitive, grueling practice.

“They’ve been coaching these kids for years, so I kind of look to them to know what’s really going on,” Freidus said. “I’m kind of like the new guy. I’ll take care of all the bits and pieces, and they’ll keep running things the way they always have. I don’t want to mess with their success.”

Freidus added that despite stepping into the shoes of a championship-caliber coach, he doesn’t feel like he has anything to prove. Last season’s bitter end is the only motivation.

“When it’s time to play soccer, they’re all business,” he said.

“We’re doing something that Ormond Beach can be proud of.

I’m just happy to be involved.”

Zone Two residents agree:

Ormond Beach is best served with TROY KENT continuing to represent us!

As our Commissioner, TROY KENT has fought for us each and every day. From low taxes and water rates to more parks and safer neighborhoods, TROY KENT is the voice we need at City Hall. Just see what these actual Zone Two residents are saying about our City Commissioner:

Marvin & Phyllis Miller, Ormond Beach Zone 2 Residents

Don & Beth Owen, Ormond Beach Zone 2 Residents

“Let’s keep Ormond Beach Moving forward and not be fooled by foolish propaganda.

Keep Troy Kent as our city commissioner.”

“We are lifelong residents of Ormond Beach. Troy Kent is a responsive & accessible city leader. When our family had an issue with the water utilities earlier this year, Commissioner Kent helped to resolve the problem in less than 24 hrs. Our family will vote Troy Kent on Nov. 6th!”

Ormond Beach firefighter Carrie Davis talks to students about her career during Temple Beth-El School’s Community Helpers Day on Wednesday, Oct. 24.

Temple Beth-El school provided its students with an opportunity to learn about the community’s first responders with its annual Community Helper’s Day on Wednesday, Oct. 26.

Students from pre-K to fifth grade listened as representatives from the Ormond Beach Fire Department, Ormond Beach Police Department, Volusia County Beach Safety, Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, Daytona Beach Police and Florida Power and Light taught them about their jobs and role in the community.

From seeing the inside of a fire engine to learning how to use a beach rescue buoy, the students got to see a sliver of what being a community helper entails.

“I have known Susan for several years, she is a true inspiration and advocate for our city. She was my son’s principal at Pine Trail Elementary School. She treated us like family. She has an impressive track record.

She is the absolute best choice for Zone 3 Ormond Beach City Commissioner.”

Erum Kistemaker

“Ormond Beach Will Be in Good Hands With Susan on the City Commission” As a commissioner, I know what it takes to be a public servant.

I have known Susan Persis for 25 years. I have observed her dedication to making the world a better place for everyone and especially our children. I have seen her decades of community involvement. I asked her to seek to be my successor because I have seen and viewed her passion for Ormond Beach for many years. She has thrown Current Zone 3 Ormond Beach herself into learning all aspects of being a Zone 3 commissioner.

City Commissioner Ormond Beach will be in good hands with Susan on the City Commission.

Rick Boehm

Paid by Susan Persis for Ormond Beach City Commissioner

“I have known Susan for over 20 years and have worked with her for five years. She has shown her ability, desire and leadership skills through educating children. She is very approachable, engaged and committed to our beautiful Ormond Beach. Please join me in voting for Susan Persis for Zone 3.”

Suzanne Furman

“The dedication, compassion and leadership of Susan Persis make her the ideal candidate to represent us on the City Commission. Her integrity, fairness and ability to work with diverse groups was evidenced by her 39 years in education. She has what Zone 3 needs. Please join me in voting for Susan.”

Kathy Crotty

“Susan Stands Up For What Is Right”

For the 20-plus years I have known Susan, she has never wavered in what she believes. She stands up for what is right. She is a woman of integrity. She is trustworthy. Susan will be an effective leader because she cares deeply about Ormond Beach and she will listen to all sides of an issue before making a decision. She will build consensus and bring people together.

“As my supervising principal and evaluator, I was able to observe Mrs. Persis’ leadership philosophy daily. That philosophy guided her decision making.

Susan has shown she has the ability. The City of Ormond Beach has, and always will be, her priority.”

The number of single-family home sales across the greater Daytona Beach rose for the second consecutive month in September from the same month last year, according to an analysis of MLS data by Realtor Ron Wysocarski, broker and CEO of Wyse Home Team Realty in Port Orange.

For September, 390 singlefamily homes were sold with a median home sales price of $232,500. That amounts to a 10% increase in sales compared to the same month last year, and a 3.5% rise in median sales prices.

Compared to August, sales were down notably while median prices rose slightly. Wysocarski said it’s a typical trend for sales to slow in September as students return to school and sellers await the return of seasonal residents.

Year to date, sales are up by 4%, and median sales prices remain 7% higher than the first nine months of 2017.

Meanwhile, condo sales around the greater Daytona Beach also rose in September compared to a year ago, with strong median price gains.

Wysocarski said there were 127 condo units sold in September compared to 120 units sold in September 2017. Median sales prices climbed 15.5% to $234,000 over September 2017.

Year to date, median sales prices of condos are up by just over 10 percent over 2017.
