Ormond Ace Hardware could soon expand in the city of Ormond Beach.

On Thursday, March 11, the Ormond Beach Planning Board will review a rezoning and development order request by Gross Family Properties NG LLC, which currently own and operate the Ace Hardware storefront at 333 W. Granada Blvd. The business owners seek to construct a 16,853-squarefoot two-story building at 1480 N. U.S. 1, to be used as a

second branch location.

According to the staff report, the 2.7-acre property is currently zoned B-7 Highway Tourist Commercial. A Planned Business Development, zoning would allow the business to open a 2,475-square-foot outdoor garden center, as that requires a public hearing approval.

They also seek a setback reduction to preserve a historic tree, and another one between the Flagler Road and Gowers Street.

Ace Hardware has been operated by members of the Gross Family since the 1970s, according to application they submitted to the city for the project.

“As the community grows and expands, we too are expanding the hometown, convenient hardware experience in hopes of servicing the needs of both our residential and business customers in the Ormond Crossings area,” the application reads.

A group of Ormond Beach volunteers helped to pack meals for the Hunger Fight packing party.

Filling the Photo by Jarleene Almenas

Women United Volusia Vice President Amanda Lasecki and her daughter Abby help to pack meals.

The ‘Fill the Gap’ Match campaign aims to raise $150,000 by the end of the month.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

I

n December 2020, United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties projected a $200,000 shortfall for its annual giving campaign, and, in a year when the nonprofit experienced a 200% increase in call volume to its 211 helpline, leadership knew they had to find a way to continue to fund community services.

Shortly after publicizing United Way’s need, the Root Organization, Intracoastal Bank and two anonymous donors committed up to $150,000 in match donations for the effort, should United Way be able to raise the same amount in the community.

“That’s a huge undertaking and a big challenge, but we are game for any opportunity to try to help meet the need,” said Courtney Edgcomb, president of United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties.

The Fill the Gap match campaign began on Feb. 1 and runs through March 31, and, as of Friday, March 5, United Way had raised $30,000. Over the weekend, United Way, in partnership with Women United Volusia and Women United Flagler, hosted a series of International Women’s Day events to raise funds, including a speaking event featuring a

survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing, a beach yoga event at Andy Romano Beachfront Park and a Hunger Fight packing party, where volunteers aimed to pack 8,000 meals for Hope Place, a homeless shelter for families in Daytona Beach. It was the first time Women United Volusia and Women United Flagler worked together.

“The support that Women United provide in helping to fundraise for this campaign will directly impact families in our community who are in the most need,” Edgcomb said.

MEALS FOR HOPE PLACE

A little rain didn’t keep volunteers away from the United Way’s building on International Speedway Boulevard on Saturday, March 6. From 9 a.m. until 4 p.m., small groups of volunteers filtered in and out, all helping to pack meals for some of the most in need in the community.

Amanda Lasecki, vice president of Women United Volusia, said the packing party was meant to engage the community for a good cause. They partnered with Hunger Fight, a Jacksonville-based nonprofit that aims to provide families with nutritious meals.

“They do so much,” Lasecki

GAP said. “I think this is going to have a huge impact.”

Women United focuses on the education, health and financial stability of women in the community, and that mirrors United Way’s overall mission for families, particularly those who live paycheck to paycheck, Edgcomb said.

United Way refers to this group as the ALICE families (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), and they account for about a third of the population in Volusia and Flagler counties, according to the latest report.

Lasecki said there are many opportunities to give back, and with ones like the packing party, you are able to teach the next generation about helping. Her daughter Abby was also there to help.

“Of course, we love for people to donate money and donate goods and things, but also to donate their time,” Lasecki said.

“It really costs nothing but your time to show up and help your community, and we have a lot of opportunities that we’d love to have people contribute and show up.”

LONG-TERM NEEDS

Last year, the need in the community in response to COVID-19 was immediate — families were in need of food and childcare, explained Edgcomb. To help, United Way was able to raise $180,000 for a COVID relief fund to fill those needs.

Now, a year in, the needs are more long-term, Edgcomb said. Support from Women United’s initiatives helps such pro-

grams like transitional housing programs, early childhood education and mental health services.

The organization is confident the services and programs they and their partner agencies are able to provide can address those needs. But first, they need to “fill the gap.”

“We cannot continue to fund those programs if the community doesn’t step up and support this,” Edgcomb said. “For an individual to make a donation right now and have their gift matched, it’s just a great opportunity and I would hate for us to miss out on it.”

‘LGBTQ+ Health Awareness’ resolution dies at School Board meeting

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A resolution to bring awareness to LGBTQ health in Volusia County Schools failed to pass on Tuesday, March 9, after some School Board members and parents expressed concern, arguing that the topic of sexual orientation should be addressed at students’ homes.

The resolution would have designated the week of March 22-26 as “LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week,” and proclaimed that the district was committed to “bringing awareness to the effects of the devastating cycle of discrimination on LGBTQ+ health and the resulting disparities.” The awareness week would have taken place during Spring Break, a time where students would not be attending classes.

Only School Board Member Carl Persis made a motion to approve, and the resolution failed due to lack of support. He said he didn’t understand the argument against passing the resolution.

“This board prides itself on not discriminating against any child,” Persis said. “So why are you choosing to discriminate against them?”

Though School Board Member Ruben Colon stated LGBTQ students are three-to-four times more likely to die by suicide, he did not support the resolution

based on his personal beliefs.

“However, I do support the fact that we do need to be there for our students and ensure that we support them, because they are at a greater risk, and I think the school district does that all day long,” he said Three parents spoke against the resolution, all stating that the responsibility of discussing sexual orientation was theirs, rather than the district’s. It’s a statement Colon, and later Board Member Jamie Haynes also expressed.

The same resolution passed last year in a unanimous vote.

Board Chair Linda Cuthbert said she would have seconded the

motion if she had been able to. As a representative of District 3, the one with the highest rate of selfharm among students, according to Cuthbert, she said they have an obligation to protect students.

“It’s sad that our community, our culture, is at a point where we would have to make a resolution like this,” Cuthbert said. “We shouldn’t have to, because we should treat everyone equally and equitably. There’s a big difference between equal and equitable.”

She suggested the district come back with a resolution to celebrate diversity and inclusivity among students at a later date.

Board Member Anita Burnette

BOARD MEMBER CLARIFIES POSITION “Following tonight’s School Board meeting, I have received numerous calls and emails asking me to clarify my position on a resolution brought before the Board earlier today. First, I want to state unequivocally that I am an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, and that I stand staunchly against discrimination of any kind in Volusia Schools.

“I want to be clear that I believe the urgent issue of LGBTQ+ discrimination in our schools deserves a strong response based on policy, not just sentiment. I could not in good conscience support a resolution that relegated such an important issue to Spring Break when students would not be in school. The resolution dis-

missed the values of inclusion that it allegedly represented.

We cannot keep passing toothless statements of support instead of tackling the very real problems our LGBTQ+ students are facing.

“LGBTQ+ students face higher rates of bullying, harassment, and violence. They experience higher rates of mental illness and, tragically, self-harm. These issues exist in schools all across this country, and Volusia Schools is unfortunately no different. Near the end of the meeting tonight, I personally asked Superintendent Fritz to work with me on formulating a strong policy on LGBTQ+ student protections.

There is no time like now to

said she agreed with Persis on many of his points, but that she prided herself on listening to both sides. But Persis argued that there weren’t two sides to this issue.

“You either are discriminatory or you’re not,” Persis said. “You can’t justify discrimination.

You’re either a racist, or you’re not...You’re either homophobic, or you’re not.”

Colon took offense to that statement, and he and Burnette both said they have friendships within the LGBTQ community.

Colon said if a student reaches out for help, then the resources should be in place, but otherwise, the topic should be broached by

get to work. GLSEN has some amazing resources that we as a district should adopt to ensure every student has a meaningful education and the LGBTQ+ community has a home. This means having educator training sessions, strong anti-harassment policies, and mental health resources that emphasize the needs of the LGBTQ+ community.

“I campaigned on changing Volusia Schools for the better, and that is what I intend to do.

I look forward to working with my fellow board members, district staff, and community members to advance the cause of equality, inclusion, and antidiscrimination.”

parents.

“I support this group of people,” Burnette said. “I have no dislike of that — that’s kind of unfair. I did not like the way it was presented, and I think we can do better.”

Superintendent Scott Fritz said this was not an unusual resolution. Additionally, it’s titled and worded in the same way as last year’s, approved on April 14, 2020, in the board’s consent agenda for that meeting.

“There were no curriculum materials that were going to be handed out,” Fritz said. “There were no announcements that were going to be made. It was simply saying that every child that walks across our stage and in our schools will be treated fairly, equally and with equity.”

Volusia to be ‘swimming in vaccines’ in April?

Public Protection Director Joe Pozzo said the county is expecting an increase in vaccine shipments next month.

“We know we can service more people through a drive-thru, but we really want to test the waters on that and see what happens and then we will make our adjustments as we go.”

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A total of 92,699 Volusia County residents have been vaccinated as of Tuesday, March 9, state data shows, and Volusia County expects that number to increase rapidly next month.

At a meeting of the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected officials, Public Protection Director Joe Pozzo said updates regarding vaccinations come frequently from the state, and that the county was told it would be “swimming in vaccines” in April.

“Whatever that means, OK?” Pozzo said. “I do know that Merck has partnered with [Johnson and Johnson] to produce the [Johnson and Johnson] vaccine, so I believe that has something to do with it.”

Currently, Volusia County is receiving a weekly shipment of 4,000 first-doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. At the Volusia County Fairgrounds site in DeLand, 26,529 people have been vaccinated. Depending on the availability of doses in April, the fairgrounds could possibly be turned into a drive-thru vaccination site, Pozzo said.

“We know we can service more

bracket.

“As far as the trend goes, I think we’re hitting a plateau,” Boswell said.

Since mid-February, following a holiday surge that saw 500 cases reported in a single day, Boswell said Volusia’s cases began to trend downward. The new cases counts have hovered in the 100s since late February, and the 14-day positivity rate is 5.47%. Less people are also being tested, she added, with the state-operated New Smyrna Beach testing site seeing about 600 people a day.

Hospitalizations have also decreased, with 11 people on a ventilator, 25 in an intensive care unit, 61 total hospitalizations and 10 admissions as of Sunday, March 7.

people through a drive-thru, but we really want to test the waters on that and see what happens and then we will make our adjustments as we go,” he said.

Additionally, the county is reporting an issue with individuals foregoing their second dose.

Only about 85% of people who receive the first dose also attend their second-dose appointment, Pozzo said. He asked elected officials to broadcast a message about the importance of receiving both

doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine to their constituents.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine requires a single dose.

On March 7, the state reported 108 new cases of COVID-19 in Volusia County, with only 14 individuals over the age of 65. Volusia County Health Department Administrator Patricia Boswell sad that speaks highly of the vaccine’s impact, though said it was alarming that the most cases, 25, were reported in the 15-24 age

Volusia County’s fuel tax revenue formula to be adjusted The new formula, to be phased in over five years, will be calculated using road mileage.

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A new formula to calculate Volusia County’s fuel tax revenues will be phased in over the course of five years, should the majority of municipalities agree to the interlocal agreement, an effort that has been talked about since 2003.

At a meeting of the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected

Officials on Monday, March 8, DeLand City Manager Michael Pleus said 20 different distribution options were developed in 2019, following two unsuccessful attempts to alter the formula in 2003 and 2013. As it stands, revenue from the 6-cent fuel tax and additional 5-cent local option fuel tax for every gallon of motor fuel is distributed as such: Volusia County receives 57%, and the rest is allocated to municipalities based on population, assessed property values and miles of road.

These funds are used for local infrastructure projects.

Relying solely on road mileage seemed to be the most logical choice for the new formula, Pleus

said.

“This was not an easy agreement to get to,” Pleus said. “We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars over a five-year period for some of these jurisdictions, [that] when you change that formula, they’ll be losing out on.

But I think it’s a real testament to everybody’s professionalism and willingness to work together to come up with a formula that really does make sense.”

The original 6-cent fuel tax was approved in 1986. The 5 cents were added in 1999.

Pleus said in 2003, the reason the formula change fell through was because some wanted to reduce the 57% county alloca-

tion of the tax. This time around, the managers agreed to leave it unchanged.

“The county is responsible for the arterial-only collector roads, so they really do need that 57% to make sure that they take care of those things,” said Pleus, citing Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange as an example.

Because some cities have already planned on revenues from the existing fuel tax formula to help fund local road projects, Pleus said they agreed to delay phasing in the new formula for one year. The interlocal agreement will first go to the cities for approval before being presented to the County Council.

COPS CORNER FEB. 19

LAWYERED UP 11:45 a.m. — Intersection of U.S. 1 and West Granada Boulevard DUI. A 43-year-old Ormond Beach woman was arrested for driving under the influence after she crashed into another vehicle, having refused to complete the field sobriety exercises and instead asking to speak to her attorney.

Officers notified her they would begin a DUI investigation, and the woman declined to perform the field sobriety exercises. She was arrested, and while in the back seat of the patrol car, began speaking to herself. She told police she was talking to her daughter over a bluetooth earpiece.

She was taken to jail.

FEB. 21

CONCEALING EVIDENCE 2:48 p.m. — 900 block of Willow Run Tampering with physical evidence. Police arrested a 27-yearold Ormond Beach man after he swallowed heroin, knowing he would be arrested because he had an open warrant.

A police officer was patrolling a local park when he spotted the man in the surroundings. The officer knew the man had an open felony warrant for his arrest.

The man fled and police later located him on top of a fence in a neighborhood. He told officers he needed to spit, and emitted a brown substance from his mouth onto the asphalt. The substance tested positive for heroin and fentanyl, and the man was transported to the hospital. Once cleared, he was taken to jail.

FEB. 28

ROAD BURN 12:59 a.m. — Intersection of Hand Avenue and Oak Brook Drive DUI. During a traffic stop, a police officer heard a loud noise. He spotted a Camaro traveling with two tires that were so flat, the vehicle was traveling on its rims, according to the police report.

Once stopped, the driver, a 44-year-old Ormond Beach woman, said she hit something and was “freaked out” so she kept driving on the flat tires.

During the conversation, the officer asked her what was in the Styrofoam cup in the center console, and the woman said she didn’t know what he was talking about and moved the cup behind her seat. The officer later concluded that the cup smelled of alcohol. She was taken to jail.

Bill to aid K-9 medical transport gets local support Should injured K-9s be able to be transported on ambulances? A bill filed

by Sen. Tom Wright says yes. Will it get support?

JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

N

ew legislation filed this session seeks to give paramedics and EMTs the ability to transport and provide emergency care to injured police K-9s, and law enforcement officers from throughout Central Florida, joined by state legislators, gathered at the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office training center on Friday, March 5, to show support for the bill.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody advocated for the passing of House Bill 697 and Senate Bill 388, the latter of which was filed by Florida Republican Sen. Tom Wright, whose District 14 encompasses parts of Volusia and Brevard counties. Moody said that currently, paramedics and EMTs are not permitted to transport injured K-9 officers, despite their role in law enforcement.

“They are no different than our law enforcement officers and deputies that are highly trained to rush into dangerous situations, often putting themselves and their safety behind those of those they’re trying to protect,” Moody said.

Last year, Moody said 130 K-9s were injured in the U.S. “If EMTs and medical professionals are able to provide lifesaving care, how many K-9 officer lives will be saved?” she said.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BILL

Wright, who once volunteered as a K-9 officer for two years, said he knows firsthand how inseparable these animals are with their handlers. Beyond being sworn officers and deputies, Wright said K-9s become part of the family.

On Thursday, March 4, the bill was passed through the last of the committees and is expected to be one of the first bills heard on the floor for the 2021 legislative session, Wright said.

“Our law enforcement officers swear to protect us and our community,” Wright said. “You know they take an oath to that effect. So when we have the opportunity to help an officer in need, we must ensure that our laws are structured to assist in those efforts and not limit them.”

If passed, the bill will render paramedics and EMTs free from any criminal or civil liability should they provide emergency

Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said the bill makes sense.

care to a K-9 while in transport to a veterinary or hospital emergency facility. This is dependent on an individual not requiring transport or medical attention at the same time, the bill reads.

Also present at the news conference were Debbie Johnson and her daughter Emma, of K9s United, a nonprofit that lends support to K-9 units where budgets fall short, as well as when units unexpectedly experience tragedy. Johnson, who aided in the efforts to pass Senate Bill 96 in 2019 — which increased penalties for injuring or killing a K-9 — illustrated the importance of Wright’s bill by telling the story of K-9 Bane, of Jacksonville.

On March 2, 2020, while taking a break from training with other K-9 units, the handlers went to quickly grab food. K-9 Bane was left inside the vehicle with the AC on, and, a few minutes later, the officers were notified that the vehicle was on fire. Unable to open the the trunk for K-9 Bane because the fire had damaged the electronic locks, his handler broke a window and kept the flames away with fire extinguishers until paramedics arrived at the scene.

K-9 Bane was treated at the scene and transported him to a veterinary facility. That saved his life, Johnson said.

Yet, Wright said the fire chief that made the decision to transport K-9 Bane almost lost his job because of that. Paramedics and EMTs are often trained in providing some emergency care to dogs, as they do so in emergency situations like house fires.

“If we value their service as we clearly did with the passing of SB 96, we must make every effort to get them the care that they need to help save their life if they are critically injured,” Johnson said. “These units are invaluable to the communities they serve.”

Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood said K-9s form part of their handler’s family.

Observer “If we are to build a better world, we must remember that the guiding principle is this — a policy of freedom for the individual is the only truly progressive policy.”

“When you look at these men and women, what they do as K-9 handlers — it’s not a job,” he said. “It’s not a profession. It’s a calling.”

The Ormond Beach Police Department currently has two K-9 units, both specialized in narcotics detection. It’s a huge investment for the city, the county and the officers that take the dogs home with them, said Police Chief Jesse Godfrey.

“We work closely with the Sheriff’s Office on a daily basis and the ability to be able to provide the K-9s with the medical

aid is huge,” Godfrey said.

Capt. Chris Roos said the 60 minutes following a serious injury are often the most critical for humans, and that applies to K-9s as well.

“This gets that dog the same protection,” Roos said. “... It’s just amazing that it took this long for this to happen.”

Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma said this bill just makes sense.

“As we can see today, the people who walk the thin blue line don’t always have two legs,” Lemma said. “They have four.”

Attorney General Ashley Moody said 130 K-9s were killed in the line of duty last year in the U.S.

“As we can see today, the people who walk the thin blue line don’t always have two legs. They have four.”

Volusia deputy suspended after second DUI arrest An off-duty Volusia County Sheriff’s deputy has been arrested on his second charge of driving under the influence in the past year.

Deputy Aaron Chavez was pulled over by a DeLand police officer shortly before 2 a.m.

Friday, March 5, after the officer witnessed Chavez’s truck traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of International Speedway Boulevard.

The officer followed as Chavez’s truck proceeded through a red light, made a left turn onto Woodland Boulevard, swerved and pulled over for the traffic stop.

When the officer approached the truck, he noticed a smell of alcohol and noted that Chavez’s eyes were glassy and his speech slurred.

Chavez was taken into custody without incident on charges of DUI and refusal to submit to DUI testing, and he was cited for traveling on the wrong side of the roadway, failure to stop at a red light and violation of driver’s license restrictions (allowing driving for business purposes only).

Chavez, 34, was previously arrested for DUI on March 21, 2020, when a Volusia sheriff’s sergeant responding to complaints about a reckless driver pulled him over north of DeLand. Chavez was off-duty in that incident as well.

As a result of the prior March 2020 arrest, Chavez was suspended for 24 hours and reassigned to a non-lawenforcement position while

his case was pending. Chavez pleaded no contest to an amended charge of reckless driving and was sentenced to probation, which he successfully completed. After resolution of his case, Chavez was reassigned to courthouse duties, and later to a patrol assignment.

Chavez is currently suspended pending the results of an Internal Affairs investigation.

Ormond woman dies in crash with fire truck A 52-year-old Ormond Beach woman died on Saturday, March 6, after she crashed into the tail end of a Daytona Beach Fire Department truck, injuring five firefighters.

Daytona Beach Police reported that officers responded at 5:19 p.m. to the crash, which occurred on North Clyde Morris Boulevard near the Halifax Health Medical Center. Investigators believe the woman, who was driving a silver Pontiac, was going an estimated 80 mph as she hit the fire truck, flipping the vehicle onto its side. The fire truck was struck as it attempted to cross the southbound lanes of Clyde Morris Blvd.

The woman was transported to Halifax Health, where she died from her injuries shortly afterward, according to DBPD. Her identity has not yet been released.

The firefighters suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

Critics fired up over state’s proposed pot caps Many Republican lawmakers in Florida haven’t hidden their skepticism about the use of marijuana as a medical palliative.

A pair of new legislative proposals would place a 10% THC cap on smokable marijuana and limit THC levels to 16% in other medical-marijuana products, excluding edibles. THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive component of marijuana that makes users feel high.

The bills, filed by Rep. Spencer Roach, D-North Fort Myers, and Sen. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, would also impose advertising restrictions on doctors who order cannabis for their patients. Currently, about 2,500 of the state’s roughly 90,000 physicians have undergone the requisite training allowing them to order medical marijuana for qualified patients.

Medical marijuana advocates fiercely criticized the bills (HB 1455 and SB 1958), which they maintain will force patients to spend more money to achieve the same effects from their medical treatment.

While Republicans control both legislative chambers as well as the governor’s office, the Florida Senate has put the brakes on proposed THC limits the past two years.

But the 2021 legislative session, which begins Tuesday, March 9, could be a turning point.

Stories of freedom JARLEENE ALMENAS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

C

elebrating black history isn’t limited to the month of February.

The Ormond Beach Historical Society is paying tribute to black achievers in the United States via an exhibit, titled “Stitching Lives Together: Stories and Symbols of Freedom,” which will be on display through May 22.

The exhibit explores the people and symbols that supported African-Americans as they escaped through the Underground Railroad. There will be displays, biographies on abolitionists, as well as storytellers and artifacts representing local black history.

It was an effort put together very quickly thanks to a hardworking committee, said Erlene

Turner, education chair for the Historical Society. She presented the idea to her fellow committee members in January, and thanks to a mini-grant by Volusia County’s parks, recreation and culture division, sought by Historical Society Executive Director Julia Bussinger, the idea came to fruition in late February.

“Without them catching on to the vision, and going forth, I don’t think it could have been done,” Turner said.

Many of the exhibits on display feature a personal touch.

The numerous books celebrating black history in the library of Anderson-Price are from Turner’s own collection; she acquired them through the years while working with young people in her church and as a former educator.

Turner is also featured in one

of the videos that forms part of the exhibit, where she tells her great-great-grandparents’ story as they relocated after they were freed from slavery.

One of the key historical figures featured in the exhibit is Harriet Tubman, who after escaping slavery, conducted 13 trips south to help others do the same. That’s what stands out the most to Turner.

“Some people would say, ‘I made it to freedom, I’m free,’” Turner said. “But she thought about those that she had left behind. She had the love and compassion for others.”

Not only does the exhibit feature black history, but it is a history of how working together can benefit all, something Turner said is a needed reminder in today’s age.

The centerpiece of the exhibit is a quilt that is currently on loan from the Historic New Bethel AME church. The quilt was made

by Ruth Mielke, Nora Sgro and Joan Radula and donated to the church in 2018 during a raffle fundraiser to help restore the church’s steeple after it was damaged during Hurricane Matthew.

Each of the 14 squares on the quilt illustrate symbols that Tubman used to lead the slaves to freedom.

The church has not yet opened back up for services due to COVID-19 and Turner thought the exhibit would be a great place to showcase it in the meantime.

“It was just hanging in [the church] and I said, ‘Oh, that’s a good idea,’” she recalled.

In addition, storyteller Judy Yenwo will host two events — one on March 20 and the second on April 17 — where she will conduct presentations about Tubman’s life. Another storyteller, John Anderson Jr. will present the life of American abolitionist Frederick Douglass on May 8.

The beautiful part of the exhibit is the length of time it will be displayed, Turner said. When she was growing up, black history was only celebrated during a week in February. Now, black history has the whole month dedicated to it.

“But through our exhibit, it’s going to last for three more months,” Turner said. “... I think that’s history and something that I’m very appreciative and thankful for.”

IF YOU GO...

T

he Seabreeze Sandcrabs’ boys’ baseball team squashed the St. Augustine Yellow Jackets with a 4-1 win on Tuesday, March 9 at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex.

Both teams were closely matched entering the game, with Seabreeze’s record at 4-3 and St. Augustine’s standing at 3-3.

Yellow Jackets were first up to bat and faced Sandcrab pitcher Trevor Presswood, who pitched for five innings, allowed four hits, one run and had five strike outs.

Seabreeze established an early lead after Zachary Sager doubled on a ground ball to right fielder Hayden Hurlong and scored following an error by the Yellow Jackets’ first baseman, Haden

Steiger.

Bases were loaded in the bottom of the third inning when St. Augustine pitcher Luke Hayes walked Sandcrab Mason Boice, resulting in a run by Ethan Gilbert. Seabreeze was up 2-0 as they headed into the top of the fourth, but Yellow Jacket Josh Burgess answered with a double to left field; he would be the only player to score for St. Augustine.

Sager later tripled and was knocked home by Jonathan Kaney. Luke Dillman followed with a run-scoring double to left field. Seabreeze’s 4-1 lead remained unanswered

by St. Augustine in the top of the seventh inning and the Sandcrabs walked away with the win.

Seabreeze heads to Matanzas for a district game Friday, March 12 on a four-game winning streak.

he Lady Sandcrabs’ flag football team was denied the extra points by the Lady Barracudas yards from the end zone Thursday, March 4, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex, resulting in a 13-12 loss.

Seabreeze played its first official game of the season against New Smyrna Beach, with Lady Sandcrabs sporting “Crush the Cudas” in ink on their legs.

The Barracudas scored first, with a second-quarter touchdown pass by quarterback Anna Enrst to wide receiver Jamya Martin. The Barracudas continued their attack with a pass completion from Timia Merrick to wide receiver Maylee Smith for a second touchdown. The duo followed it up with an extra point for a 13-0 lead going into halftime.

After their halftime huddle, it was the Sandcrabs’ turn to take control of the game. Even though one of Seabreeze’s top players, Avery Dellinger, was out of play due to an injury, an interception by Tonila Jackson seemed to shift the energy of the team. Quarterback C h e l sea Mc Q u a rrie passed to Morgan Long for a touchdown in the third quarter, bringing the game to 13-6. Seabreeze refused to stop their push toward the end zone and the fourth quarter brought another touchdown by the McQuarrieLong combo. But several attempts to get the extra points were foiled by the Barracudas.

“We really needed those extra points,” said Seabreeze head coach Todd Barnes. “But we will be back. It’s a long season.”

The Seabreeze Sandcrabs play the Pine Ridge Panthers in a district game Tuesday, March 9, at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex.
