Ormond Beach awards half-million-dollar bid to sole bidder for HVAC improvements

Partington gets ‘Home Rule Hero’ award

Also, Commissioner Susan Persis wants to ban plastic straws.

CAROLINE SMITH

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Air conditioning systems at three city facilities will be upgraded as part of a half-million-dollar HVAC project, approved by the City Commission in a consent agenda item at the commission’s meeting on Tuesday, May 21. This has been in the works since 2013, according to a city document. The HVAC systems at city hall, the South Ormond Neighborhood Center and The Casements were flagged for replacement and upgrades during an assessment report that year, and two phases of the project — which included replacements of parts of the HVAC at City Hall — have already been completed. The $510,433 bid for the third phase was awarded to the sole bidder: Air Mechanical and Service Corp., of Casselberry. While City Commissioner Dwight Selby did not pull the bid

award from the consent agenda, he did comment on the issue after the unanimous vote to approve all items in the consent agenda. “My concern was we only had one bidder,” Selby said. He said about five companies downloaded the package through the internet-bidding service company the city utilizes, Onvia Inc. (formerly Demandstar), but only Air Mechanical and Service Corp. responded. This was the city’s second attempt at bidding out the project, he said. Though he was concerned about relying on a single bid for the project, Selby said he felt staff was thorough in their duties. “These are things that need to be done,” Selby said. “These are things that’ll save money and make the city facilities operate more efficiently, and it’s also an indication of the times — that construction is so good that people aren’t bidding on a halfmillion-dollar job.” City Manager Joyce Shanahan said in an email that three bidders responded to the item last year, but all bids were over budget so the city rejected them. Before bidding this project, three general

ALSO AT THE MEETING:  The City Commission, acting as the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency, approved an extension of a building improvement grant for Highlander Corp.’s Buschman building project in the downtown. The building houses Frame of Mind and Gold Leaf Coffee, and the extension of the grant is for 337 days. The improvements should be completed by Aug. 1, 2020.  The city approved and adopted its strategic planning report, via consent agenda.  The commission approved 4-0 an ordinance approving the final plat for Security First. Commissioner Troy Kent was absent from the meeting due to his son’s baseball game.  The commission also unanimously approved Total Comfort’s development order for outdoor storage at the company’s upcoming location at 1345 N. U.S. 1. This will allow Total Comfort to house RVs and boats onsite.

“Straws are a small place to start, but this brings attention to conversations about waste management and pollution.” SUSAN PERSIS, city commissioner

contractors attended a meeting and expressed concern about the work needed at The Casements, and the lack of room available to perform it, she said. “This may have deterred some potential bidders,” Shanahan said. “In addition, our consultant has stated that commercial work has increased dramatically affecting availability of contractors for new work.” The scope of the work in The Casements had to be reduced during the bidding process as well, the city document shows. Air Mechanical and Service Corp.’s initial bid was $594,132, which was significantly over the city’s $465,000 budget. While the current bid is still over budget, the city decided to go ahead with the project because work at City Hall and the South Ormond Neighborhood Center was delayed last year due to a bidder not honoring his initial low project cost; the city document states the contractor omitted a cost related to the controls. The HVAC replacements will be funded with $260,000 from the city’s Capital Improvement Program, $205,000 from its renewal and replacement funds

and $45,433 from the facilities renewal and replacement fund reserves to cover the over-budget balance. PERSIS WANTS PLASTIC STRAW BAN

City Commissioner Susan Persis is hoping Ormond Beach will join the 10 or so other cities in the state that have banned plastic straws, a motion tailing Gov. Ron DeSantis’ veto of a bill that would prevent cities from doing so. “Straws are a small place to start, but this brings attention to conversations about waste management and pollution,” Persis said. Holding up a packet of multicolored silicone straws, Persis said citizens have other straw choices available to them if the city bans plastic ones. She listed metal, paper, glass and bamboo as options. Persis asked City Attorney Randy Hayes to draft up an ordinance for the commission to discuss and vote on at a later date.

The Home Rule Hero Award, given this month to Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington as well as other local officials, recognizes noteworthy work with the Florida League of Cities for the 2019 legislative session. “The people who live here get to decide what’s best for our city, kind of like Key West doesn’t look anything like Orlando,” Partington said, explaining the importance of home rule. “Rather than accepting a one-size-fits-all solution out of Tallahassee, we can control what our rules are, how our city looks and operates and feels.” Partington is on the Board of Directors for the Florida League of Cities and on the Executive Board of the Volusia League, which he described as our local branch of the FLC. “It’s almost like a test lab for ideas where you can find out how other cities are doing it and doing it well, and bring that back to your city,” he said. “With all the sharing of ideas, hopefully we learn the best practices.” In Ormond Beach, community gardens and the Environmental Discovery Center are products of the collaborative FLC efforts. Partington also said that workshops offered at the annual FLC conference have brought back better government transparency measures. Partington said he’s thankful to receive the award as recognition for his dedication to Ormond Beach. “It’s an honor to be elected and represent the citizens, and I’m proud to serve as mayor, and it’s nice to get that little bit of recognition that we’re working hard to stay on track,” Partington said, also mentioning the help he receives from his staff and the rest of the commission.

Voters reject sales tax, four-year terms Voters want term limits, but won’t get them. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Volusia County voters rejected the proposed half-cent sales tax, 55.3% to 44.7%, despite a big promotional effort including public meetings with government officials and mailers by supporters. Based on statements at the meetings and social media, taxpayers were resentful about the moratorium on impact fees, which have now been reinstated, and how the county has provided economic incentives to businesses. Ormond Beach heard a resounding “no” echoing throughout the city as voters rejected the four-year term proposal 65.7% to 34.3%. Its defeat meant that staggered terms also went down the drain, because it was dependent on four-year terms passing.

Voters said no to staggered terms 57.8% to 42.2%. Voters said yes to term limits, 62% to 38%, but term limits will not be instated, because the question was also dependent on fouryear terms. There was one proposed change that passed. Ormond Beach voters approved a primary election, 56.6% to 43.4%, when more than two candidates are running. Those who favor a primary election said that with three or more candidates, a person could win with a low percentage of votes. Opponents said the voter turnout is often low and candidates without a lot of financial backing would be pressed to run a campaign for both a primary and general election. HOW IT STARTED

City Commissioner Dwight Selby said the commissioners first decided at a workshop that

terms should be staggered, so the majority of the commission could not be changed in one election, losing institutional knowledge. Then, they decided that fouryear terms would be best, because with staggered, two-year terms there would be an election every year. “People would get tired of elections,” he said recently. In the election, most voters apparently thought that two-year terms are good for accountability. NO TAX — NOW WHAT?

The city of Ormond Beach had public meetings to get input from citizens on how additional sales tax should be spent. Projects such as extending Hand Avenue over Interstate 95, pedestrian crossings on North Nova Road, Tymber Creek widening, an 8-foot sidewalk along North U.S. 1, and trail, water quality and storm water improvements were

described at the meetings. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said these projects have been needed but money was not available. Selby said the task of completing these projects is much more difficult if a local city does not have funds to match with the county or state. As an example, he cited North U.S. 1, where a group of citizens contributed $20,000 for median beautification. This led to FDOT eventually contributing millions of dollars to the project. “That $2.5 million could really stimulate a lot of projects,” Selby said. Selby said Ormond Beach has many miles of roads, sidewalks and sewer lines to take care of with available city funds. The city was expected to receive $2.5 million each year from the sales tax.

“That $2.5 million could really stimulate a lot of projects.” DWIGHT SELBY, city commissioner

Plan for downtown enters final stage Improvement ideas will be covered in August workshops. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

After months of brainstorming, the Downtown Steering Committee has started to formulate action items for the update of the Downtown Master Plan, last revised in 2006. There was a lot of energy from the steering committee and very good public participation, according to Peter Sechler, of GAI Consultants of Orlando, the firm hired to lead the effort. There were 353 respondents to the online survey, with 88% saying they were full-time residents and 90% with the same zip code as downtown. Sechler is now set to prepare a proposal to be reviewed by the committee and City Commission in workshops this August. A final plan will be voted on by the commission in public hearings. The Master Plan considers downtown as three different areas: the beachside, called the Ocean District; Granada Boulevard near Beach Street, called the River District; and the stretch between U.S. 1 and Orchard Street, called the Creek District. An idea coming out of the meetings is to have a “connected community” where each district allows people to circulate after parking. “No one is going to eat at Lulu’s and then walk to U.S. 1 for an ice cream,” Sechler said at a May 15 meeting to get public input. “The distance is too far.” FESTIVALS AND RETAIL

Sechler presented a new topic, environmental sustainability, which has to do with sea level rise and storm resilience, a subject that becomes apparent each hurricane season. He said Volusia County has such a plan, and the city should deal with the issue in the Downtown Master Plan.

Other ideas brought up by the committee and the public included more festivals and utilizing the four corners of the Granada Bridge for outdoor recreation opportunities. To create a sense of place and retain the city’s charm, ideas include painting and lighting Granada Bridge, public art, more outdoor spaces and trails. For economic development, members said there should be more variety of retail and investment into the private sector. Committee members saw a need for mixed-use of retail and residential to attract millennials to the downtown. Some said the growth of retail and residential areas should be equally treated, so there is no fighting between the two. Closed businesses and vacant lots are also a concern. Sechler called these “missing teeth,” which should be filled. Some say online retailing hurts brick-and-mortar buildings, but Sechler said it should not be a factor for a downtown, because that’s where people can get “experience-based” retail. Attracting Lucky’s market showed the city has good momentum, he said. It’s a good indication the city could attract other known brands. GRANADA OUT OF BALANCE?

Sechler said 50% of the conversation involved transportation and being able to circulate, which includes walkability, parking and better signage. “People focused on the speed and behavior on Granada Boulevard,” he said. While the roadway is an important evacuation route and thoroughfare, he said it can be a barrier to people getting around

the town. It’s “out of balance’ between traffic and pedestrians. There was an interest in having a museum corridor, connecting the various historic sites and developing the MacDonald House into an interactive museum. A civic and cultural center was high on the list, with the proposal of utilizing Riverside Church on North Beach Street, which was recently purchased by the city. Sometimes there is talk of new development in place of the Ormond Beach Regional Library, but survey respondents said they like it where it is, providing a quaint, small-town feeling. Other desired features include a branding for the city, improved biking and walking opportunities, incentives for green buildings and an urban tree canopy. The downtown, Granada Boulevard from the ocean to Orchard Avenue, is a Community Redevelopment Area. In a CRA, part of the money collected from property taxes goes to a fund for improvements in the area. The county must approve all CRAs,

and the downtown CRA sunsets in 2036. In past years, improvements made in the downtown included landscaped medians, underground utilities and improvement grants which resulted in several buildings being remodeled, such as the former HUD building at the corner of West Granada Boulevard and South Washington Street, now a gift shop. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said the city follows the downtown plan. “It’s been wildly successful,” she said.

Live music and the aroma of barbecue filled the air as friends, family and guests celebrated the grand opening of Ormond Beach Kayak Center on May 17 at 1644 Ocean Shore Blvd. in Ormondby-the-Sea. “It’s back from the ashes like the Phoenix,” said one of the owners, Mark Pritchard. A shop with the same name operated at the site until the building was damaged by Hurricane Matthew a few years ago. The new version has two new owners, Pritchard and Paul Murphy, but they retained the original owner, Bill Muller, to handle the kayak end of the operation, and he has big plans. “We want to develop a kayak ecotour system for the whole county,” he said. “One day we’ll be mountain biking. Another day we’ll kayak through the marsh at Highbridge.” The shop, which has been remodeled and expanded, rents surf boards, kayaks, paddle boards and boogie boards, as well as electric bikes and beach cruisers. There’s also a bait and tackle shop, where they have live shrimp. Customers can take lessons, go on a tour or rent gear for their own adventure. They launch in the river at Bicentennial Park, the Seabridge area or Highbridge Park and they are across the street from the ocean. They will take customers to the water.

Murphy has been an informal guide in the past. He said he had three kayaks at his home. Family would come down for a visit and he would take them to the Highbridge marshes and out into the river. “Everybody loved it.” He said. “I’d show them the islands. They’d see dolphins, manatees, pelican nests.” He said Bicentennial Park is a good launching place because it’s across the river from Tomoka State Park. A person has to know where they are going in the channels to get into the park, so they offer tours. Muller plans a kayak fitness program where he will take 10 to 15 people to the river and lead a conditioning class. “Kayaking uses the whole body,” he said.

Projects aims to help veterans Students add to Memorial get to know families again Walk at Halifax Hospice Part of a Father Lopez service organization

WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

Cliff Morris, a Seabreeze High School graduate, has started a nonprofit company with a unique idea to help veterans, law enforcement and other first responders. His goal is to create a retreat camp, where veterans and their families can spend time together and get to know one another again. Based on experience with relatives who had wartime experience, he believes the camp will create positive memories and help get rid of the negativity. He is currently seeking land to build the camp and wants to have plenty of recreation and activities. In addition to being an Eagle Scout, Morris has spent several summers working at camps, where he saw families having fun together. A life-long outdoor enthusiast, he knows boating, surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc. He also hopes to have activities such as gardening and cooking, with a family making a meal for the entire camp. To fund the enterprise, he has started a nonprofit group called the Thin Line Coalition. He is working with other businesses, and has arranged a fundraiser July 18 with the Daytona Beach Tortugas. On July 20, he’ll have a poker run with the help of Fraternal Order of Eagles. Information can be found on the thinlinecoalition Facebook page.

Cliff Morris hopes to build a retreat for veterans and their families.

His mother, Lauren, of Ormond Beach, is helping with his goal. “So many veterans commit suicide,” she said. “This is something that needs attention. Vets can get medical and job help, but often family is overlooked. Families are important and want to help.” Morris hopes the retreat will help vets and their families going in the right direction. “It’s easy to fall into a dark place,” he said. Morris also is a Toys for Tots organizer, hosting the Blast to the Past Harvest Festival last fall. This work has helped him learn about cross-promotion with businesses, he said. He wants the camp to be self-sustaining, by allowing anyone to stay there with the profits going to support the camp and the veterans. Contact Morris at thinlinecoalition@hotmail.com or call 386220-5253.

The Ormond Beach Care Center of Halifax Health Hospice has an addition to its Memorial Walkway, thanks to a group of students from Father Lopez High School. The walkway at the Care Center, 235 Booth Road, is landscaped with seating areas for patients and families, providing a peaceful and attractive outdoor setting. The students raised money to create an area complete with pavers, small wishing well, bench and a bird feeder hanging from a nearby tree. The students sanded and stained the bench May 18 to complete the project. “It’s a great organization,” said student Gabriella Peburn, of Ormond Beach. “They help those near the end of life.” The students are members of the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy at the school, a servicebased organization. At the end of the year, they wanted to do a project that would impact the community and chose hospice. After visiting, they decided to add to the Memorial Walkway. “The grounds are beautiful,” Peburn said. Eric Whitwam, operations manager for Halifax Hospice, said the walkway is a place where

patients and families can reflect and find their center when going through a rough time. Sometimes, hospice personnel take patients outside in their beds, when they are near the end of life and want to feel the sun or the breeze or hear a bird sing. The Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy is made up of under-

classmen, with the idea they will develop leadership skills. But Peburn said the sophomores and juniors in the group showed a lot of leadership already in doing something meaningful for the community. The group had fundraisers so they could purchase the paving stones and wishing well. The bench and bird feeder were donated and the group sanded and stained the bench at the walkway to compete the project. A plaque on the bench will list donors.

QUILTERS AID CHILDREN IN ER

CITY TO HONOR HEROES

‘WOMEN WHO CARE’ GROWS

Quilters by the Sea Ormond Beach donated 12 handmade quilts to comfort children in AdventHealth Palm Coast’s emergency department recently. Each quarter, the group selects different community organizations to receive donated quilts. “I know firsthand how much love and time goes into making each of these quilts,” said Dr. Stephen Coltharp, emergency medicine physician at AdventHealth Palm Coast. Coltharp’s mother-in-law is a member of Quilters by the Sea. “The children that come through our ER will truly appreciate these and will find comfort in them,” he said.

The city of Ormond Beach Hometown Heroes Banner Program will honor military service members who reside in or have family ties to the city. This program is made possible by a sponsorship from Halifax Health. Ninety-six banners will be displayed across the Granada Bridge every November, each featuring the service member’s photo, name, branch of service and dates served. Additionally, each service member honored will receive a keepsake replica banner which will be presented at an annual ceremony at the Performing Arts Center. “We look forward to partnering with Halifax Health in acknowledging our Hometown Heroes,” said city spokeswoman Loretta Moisio. Details are available at https://www.ormondbeach. org and in the city’s Leisure Services office. Registration will continue through Oct. 1, and applications will be processed in the order in which they are received by the Leisure Services office.

Volusia County Women Who Care continues to grow, announcing at the secondquarter meeting that 20 new members since February have brought the total to 115. During the meeting, the alliance voted to give the evening’s proceeds to the Gina McReynolds Foundation, which serves Central Florida women battling breast cancer.

NEW UNITED WAY PRESIDENT Courtney Edgcomb has been hired as the new president of United Way of Volusia-Flagler Counties, with a unanimous vote from the Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Having been with United Way for seven years, she is being

promoted from vice president, in which role she has led the staff in successful implementation of the nationally sanctioned Community Impact model. “I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to bridge all of our partners and bring United Way into the forefront as a thought leader in our community,” she said in a phone call with the Port Orange Observer. “If anyone has questions about work in the nonprofit or philanthropic arena in Volusia County, I want us to be their very first phone call.” Edgcomb, of DeLand, is a graduate of Stetson University and holds a Master of Management degree from Troy University. A Daytona Beach News-Journal’s Women in Business honoree and Port Orange Observer Person to Watch in 2018, Edgcomb successfully led the organization to a $2.2 million campaign last year. The UWVFC’s Steering Committee and CareerSource Flagler Volusia, as well as Deborah Loyd, a local Human Resources professional, volunteered their services to assist in the extensive interview and selection process of over 65 candidates from both the public and private sectors, across the nation. She replaces former President Dennis Burns, who died in February. “Dennis Burns and I were convinced that Courtney’s aptitude alone would escalate her to a leadership role,” former UWVFC President Ray Salazar said in the press release.

COPS CORNER MAY 9

BLAME IT ON BRAD 2:08 p.m. — 200 Block of Cardinal Drive Passing forged instrument. Petit theft. A business employee called police saying a man bought a gift certificate with a counterfeit $50 bill, receiving $40 back in change. The employees told the police that the man walked across the street toward the motels. The officer went to one of the motels and the desk employees, after seeing the photo, told him which room the man was staying in. The officer found the man in the room, who admitted he used a $50 bill, but said he received it from a man named “Brad” who asked him to go to the business and buy the certificate. Brad had an injured leg and couldn’t go, he said. The officer noted that the man kept possession of the certificate and tried to return it the business, rather than give it to “Brad.” The man was arrested. He was on probation for uttering a forged instrument.

CAN’T TRUST A NUMBER 6:37 p.m. — 1300 Block of North U.S. 1 Fraud. The victim said he got a call from someone at the IRS who said there was an issue with his tax and he would have to pay the IRS directly. Assuming it was a scam, he hung up. Within 10 minutes, he received a call from a number that is the same number as the Daytona Beach Police Department. The person calling did not identify themselves, but was very aggressive, saying the

A sport utility vehicle drove by the car with the rear passenger side making contact with the woman’s car. The vehicle then parked nearby. The driver exited and said, “I thought I could have made it,” before running into an apartment.

UNIQUE CAR THEFT 12:03 p.m. — 1500 Block of West Granada Boulevard Larceny. The victim said she parked her car in the parking lot of her employer with the disabled person parking placard displayed. At the end of her shift, she got back into the car and noticed the placard was dirty and did not look right. She then noticed the registration was about to expire and her registration is valid until 2022. The placard had been switched, but the report did not say if the car had been locked. The placard was registered to a person who lives in Daytona Beach.

Ormond Beach ringleader among 20 arrested after Volusia County drug raid ‘Operation Smooth Criminal’ resulted in warrants after yearlong investigation. Story courtesy of Volusia County Sheriff’s Office After an extensive, more than yearlong investigation, members of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and Volusia Bureau of Investigation dismantled a drug trafficking organization on May 16 responsible for distributing heroin, fentanyl and cocaine on the streets of Volusia County and beyond. The ringleaders and several other members were arrested, with additional arrests expected in the future. The investigation also led to the identification of the organization’s supplier, who was arrested May 16 in South Florida. Among the items seized in Volusia County were significant amounts of fentanyl, at least a quarter million dollars in cash, luxury vehicles and 20 firearms. The investigation, which started in 2018 and was dubbed “Operation Smooth Criminal,” resulted in arrest warrants for more than 20 individuals on trafficking charges, including the ringleaders, Marcel “M.J.” Green of Daytona Beach and Robert Hamilton Jr. of Ormond Beach. Those two men and six other local suspects were arrested during a series of raids May 16. Arrest warrants are active for 14 more suspects. Then, acting on information from this VBI operation, members of the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area task force conducted a traffic stop

on Kenneth Rowell, of Pembroke Pines, and discovered a trafficking amount of narcotics in his vehicle. He will be facing trafficking conspiracy charges from VBI in addition to any charges in South Florida. Three of the guns recovered from search warrant locations in Volusia County were reported stolen, including a shotgun taken in a car break of a sheriff’s deputy’s patrol vehicle in 2016. Sheriff Mike Chitwood and Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri told reporters at a news conference that the arrests and arrest warrants represented a major dent in drug activity in Volusia County, much of which has been the subject of complaints to both agencies. “You’re talking 3 kilos of heroin, fentanyl and cocaine hitting our streets on a weekly basis,” Chitwood said. “These clowns are out there murdering people with the poison they’re dealing, because human life is cheap on the streets.” The sheriff asked for the public to continue sending in tips and information about drug activity in their neighborhoods: “It’s imperative that the community continues to funnel information to us. It’s imperative, because we’re only as good as the information you give us.” “The members of this massive drug trafficking ring thought they were clever enough to get

away with selling deadly opioids to Floridians, but they couldn’t outsmart Sheriff Chitwood’s deputies and our Statewide Prosecutors,” said Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, whose Office of Statewide Prosecution will be taking the cases. “This is the second massive opioid takedown on Florida’s East Coast this month, and these arrests should serve as a strong warning to anyone trying to sell poison to Floridians — that we will catch you and you will pay for your crimes.” In early 2018, the Volusia Bureau of Investigation and East Volusia Narcotics Task Force identified Green’s organization as being responsible for distributing multiple kilograms of heroin and cocaine on a monthly basis in east Volusia County. Detectives worked to identify various members of the organization, most of whom had significant criminal histories. All combined, the criminal histories of those connected to the organization total more than 300 felony charges and 124 felony convictions, which included narcotics offenses and violent crimes. Enforcement action taken throughout the investigation resulted in the seizure of significant amounts of heroin, fentanyl and cocaine. It’s also believed the organization is connected to multiple overdose deaths that remain under active investigation.

Return of the pro

Seabreeze baseball player Brock Chance signed his national letter of intent to play college baseball for Daytona State.

Mainland football player Shayne Brennan, a starting offensive lineman for the Buccaneers, was offered by Savannah State University. The Tigers are a Division I team that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

Buccaneers quarterback/athlete Taron Keith, who already hold several Division I offers, picked up two more offers over the past week, including one from the University of South Florida, one from Savannah State and another from Judson University.

Seabreeze grad to coach Father Lopez volleyball RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

arissa Maloney still remembers the grind of carving out a career on the professional beach volleyball circuit. Maloney, an Ormond Beach native, graduated from Seabreeze High School, where she was a standout athlete in both volleyball and basketball, in 2003. She accepted a full scholarship to play volleyball at Lynn University in South Florida. After graduating, she turned pro. She traveled the country, bouncing from tour to tour with her playing partner. For several of those years, she was sponsored. But it was still a wild experience for Maloney. “You’re living out of your suit-

“If you’re working with me, it’s 100% or nothing. Every girl on my team, every girl who trains with me, if you give 100%, that means we’re on the same page.”

case,” she said. “You’re traveling all the time. Every weekend you’re on airplanes. “When you’re a pro player, you kind of just couch surf.” She has since slowed down, choosing to coach instead of play. Maloney has been coaching since her junior year at Lynn, where she coached a club team. She even coached while she was on the pro circuit. Since moving back to the area,

she started the Blue Crush Volleyball Academy in 2012. And in 2017, she began her first of two seasons coaching Deltona’s girls volleyball team. After the resignation of their previous coach, Dawn Moses, Father Lopez Catholic High School announced that it hired Maloney as its next girls volleyball head coach on April 29. Maloney was the Five Star Conference “Coach of the Year”

in 2017 while at Deltona and led the Wolves to their first district in nearly a decade. The Wolves went 2-16 prior to her arrival. “They weren’t really volleyball players, but I worked with them,” she said. “Through hard work and their dedication, they were able to turn it around.” However, after two seasons at Deltona, she grew tired of the long commute to the school. She resigned after the 2018 season. Father Lopez wasn’t initially on her radar until Green Wave Athletics Director Scott Drabczyk gave her a call and offered her the job. Maloney, who will also lead the school’s public relations department, will arrive on the Father Lopez campus taking over a program that has seen its share of success in recent years, qualifying for the state tournament six out of the last seven seasons, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2017. And although the season is months away, training begins soon. By the third week of June, Maloney and her team will be in the gym at 7 a.m. working out. “This is what we do. This is how you get better,” she said. “It’s go time. I’m ready to make my legacy here.”

Mainland defensive back Ra’Mello Dotson also picked up an offer from Savannah State. In addition, he holds offers from the University of Connecticut and Charlotte.

Mainland played two teams for its spring game on May 16. The Buccaneers’ varsity team defeated St. Augustine 25-7 in the first half. The junior varsity team beat the yellow jackets 14-7 in the third quarter. The Buccaneers’ varsity team took the field again in the fourth quarter, taking down Mandarin 10-7.

eabreeze High School’s Advanced International Certificate of Education program hosted a Paddles & Pups fundraising event at Ormond Beach’s Fortunato Park on May 18 to raise money for the growing program in which 230 students will be enrolled in next school year. The program, developed by Cambridge University in England, was started by Dodie Gaines in 2017, according to Kellie Cofer, the Seabreeze AICE Booster board president. The event, Paddles & Pups, was organized by Cofer and supporting sponsors within the Ormond Beach area, including cancer specialists and other doctors’ offices in support of Melanoma Awareness Month. Many of the volunteers at Paddles & Pups participate in the AICE program, which has been pitched to be fully funded by Volusia County this upcoming school year, Cofer told the Ormond Beach Observer in a phone interview. She said it was a free event, dogs optional. “BYOB, like bring your own board and bring your own dog,” she said, “and if you want to try a kayak or paddle board, we do have rentals.” Seabreeze, alongside Deltona

High School and Pine Ridge High School, has taken up the AICE program for their students to take college-level classes while in high school, comparable to the International Baccalaureate program offered at Spruce Creek High School, Cofer said. “[AICE] is a little more flexible with their curriculum,” Cofer said. “For example, with IB you may have to take Spanish 1, 2, and 3, but with AICE you can take any language whether it’s French, Spanish, or whatever.” Other fundraising efforts like last year’s Badges & Boardshorts event (sponsored by the Ormond Beach Police Department), golf tournaments and parent fundraisers have contributed to the growth of Seabreeze’s AICE program, Cofer said. Vendors at Paddles & Pups included Joseph Cofer’s Schmancy Pops, Chef Rx, paddle board and kayak provider Odyssey Adventure Club, Florida Cancer Specialists, and Ormond Beach Dermatology, among 26 others. “We’ve had an exceptional experience ourselves,” Cofer said. “It’s an opportunity for students in Volusia County. It’s another option for them outside of Spruce Creek.” Cofer estimated 350 people came to the event throughout the day.

WOODCRAFT

Three men transformed historic trees into useable works of art at an Ormond Beach workshop. TANYA RUSSO STAFF WRITER

istoric trees that were cut down to build the Cumberland Farms gas station at the corner of Nova and Herbert avenues have been transformed into works of art, thanks to the foresight and talents of three wood workers and the cooperation of the city of Port Orange. John Carleton, Jon Day and John Fawcett, all members of Volusia County Woodworkers Association, took slabs of wood from live oak trees removed from the former Booth’s Bowery site and created a process for making the extremely hard wood into tables.

The lumber had been sent to Geneva, Florida, to be cut into boards, then returned and stacked at the Public Works facility in Port Orange for almost three years. Carleton and Fawcett talked with Jake Johansson, Port Orange city manger, about using the wood for a project. Johansson was supportive. Creating the tables was a pioneer project for the wood workers. “The process is very labor intensive,” Fawcett said. “Once the machine is done, then the labor starts.” The three men have over 270 hours of work in creating one table.

The table being made for Port Orange will have three sections glued and bolted together. It will weigh approximately 1,000 pounds and be at least 10 feet long. One of the tables was shipped to Cumberland Farms headquarters in Maine, where it occupies a conference room. That table has a 1939 silver dollar embedded in it, the date Cumberland Farms was founded. Day, an Ormond Beach resident, is a retired computer expert who has taken up furniture making. He has a workshop and mill in Ormond Beach where a machine

called a computer numerical control router can be programmed to carve the wood slabs into necessary dimensions needed to make the tables. It is the only machine in the area capable of handling the size of each project, he said. Fawcett is a retired industrial arts teacher who taught woodworking for 30 years. He is the ambassador of the trio. Fawcett said no cash has ever been exchanged in making the tables. It has all been through donations, trades and gifts that the creations have been supported.

Hurricane Season is Upon Us! “Do’s and Don’ts of Buying A Used Car” For Floridians, hurricane season comes around just as predictably as every other season. It officially runs June through November, peaking August through October. Think Irma, Michael, Sandy, and Harvey. Scary, right? But most residents have not done much to get their home ready for a hurricane.

Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida (CLSMF) is partnering with the City of Ormond Beach to offer free quarterly workshops to interested individuals. During these workshops, a specific legal topic will be presented by a pro bono attorney followed by a generic question and answer period. Workshop topics will change each quarter.

Date: J une 6, 2019 Time: 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Location: Ormond Beach City Hall Conference Room 103 22 South Beach Street Ormond Beach, FL

Please note: 



Workshops are available on a first come basis.

Don’t miss letting area residents know about your products and services in the 2019 Hurricane Guide, that is kept all season long.

If anyone attending would like to meet with a pro bono attorney to receive legal advice specific to their situation, they will need to indicate this on the sign-in sheet upon arrival and an intake will need to be completed to establish eligibility for services.

LAST CHANCE! Space Deadline Friday, May 24th Coming Thursday, June 6th
