Ormond arrests suspect in recent car burglaries Police report that Jacksonville’s Jeremy McDade confessed to several unlocked car burglaries here. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Ormond Beach Police have arrested a 32-year-old Jacksonville man responsible for a recent string of unlocked car burglaries in town, and his arrest led to the recovery of seven stolen firearms. Jeremy McDade was taken into police custody on Tuesday, May 28, after Detective Tom Garcia spotted McDade’s vehicle parked outside of the Sleep Inn at 170 Williamson Blvd. Police said McDade had been captured on security footage, some of which dated back to May 19, burglarizing cars throughout several neighborhoods, including Hidden Hills, Kings Crossing, Tymber Creek and Chelsea Place, where his car was identified by a patrol officer. Sgt. Tom Larsen said at press conference on Friday, May 31, that McDade would drive to a subdivision, park his vehicle, and go through the neighborhood checking for unlocked vehicles either on foot or on a skateboard. He would use his shirt to open car doors to prevent leaving behind fingerprints, according to police.

Reversing course, city decides to invest in north peninsula’s septic-to-sewer conversion

‘How should we grow?’ County talks sustainability

Three commissioners changed their minds after the suggestion to work on part of the city’s septic tank issue simultaneously.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Ormond Beach will be taking the lead in solving Ormond-by-theSea’s septic problem — and part of its own. The City Commission reached a consensus to invest $1.1 million for the permitting and design of phase 1 of the north peninsula’s septic-to-sewer conversion of 700 homes, plus $150,000 to do the same for 65 homes on Oak Avenue, Magnolia Avenue and Bonita Place. It’s a compromise months in the making, following back-and-forth discussion on whether the city should invest taxpayer money in an area outside of its jurisdiction or take care of Ormond Beach residents first. At the commission’s meeting on April 16, the majority of the commission favored the latter choice. But at a capital improvement program budgeting workshop on Tuesday, June 4, Mayor Bill Partington said he’d had a change of heart. “Now would be the time to try to make a positive difference in as many ways as we can,” Partington said. The north peninsula was deemed unsuitable for septic systems in a 2013 report by the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County due to the permeability of the soil, the proximity to water bodies, age of the tanks, depth to water table and high density. In addition, 48% of the attendees polled at an OB Life workshop on the environment and water quality on Aug. 30, 2018, stated that accelerating the conversion as their top priority. Four out of five commissioners identified the first phase of the north peninsula conversion as a priority at their strategic planning workshop on Feb. 27. With the city money available, it makes sense to invest it now,

AT THE COMMISSION MEETING: n The city received the

Florida Citizenship Award by the Florida League of Cities for its OB Life initiative. n The City Commission approved an ordinance on second reading approving the final plat for Security First. n The commission made Mayor Bill Partington its Florida League of Cities voting delegate. n The commission was presented with results from an LPGA Sub-Area traffic study outlining what local roads will look like in terms of density in 2040.

Partington said. City Manager Joyce Shanahan warned him that in doing so, the city would be using 38% of its wastewater and sewer fund reserves. Partington said there is money available. Shanahan said that while the city has $5.7 million available, some is already allocated for specific projects. Finance Director Kelly McGuire proposed that the city use impact fees for some of the design and construction costs, so it doesn’t have to pull all of the money from the wastewater and sewer reserves. “I just want you all to be aware that you don’t want to use all of your reserves, because poop happens,” Shanahan said.

get something done, Partington said. He wanted the entire commission to agree with the plan. “The money is there if we have the guts to tell staff we want this done,” Partington said. “Let’s do it. Let’s not keep dragging our feet.” City Commissioner Dwight Selby, who has been fighting for the city to invest in the north peninsula, said the city is the only entity that can help the north peninsula. With Commissioners Susan Persis and Rob Littleton in favor of doing both septic-to-sewer projects simultaneously, Selby only had to convince City Commissioner Troy Kent, who had been vocal about taking care of residents first. Selby said that though Ormondby-the-Sea is not in the city’s jurisdiction, it is in the city’s utility service area. The north peninsula residents are all Ormond Beach water customers, and Selby said those residents bring in $300,000 annual profit to the city as a result. If they didn’t buy water from the city, that area would be the worst area for septic in the county, Selby said. Selby also brought up a story Kent had told in a prior meet-

ing. Kent had said his grandfather used to shrimp in the Halifax River, and that the water was so clear you could see the grass on the bottom. “If we’re ever going to get back to anything even remotely close to that, we gotta get these nutrients — we gotta get the phosphorus and we gotta get the nitrogen out of those waterways,” Selby said. “That’s what causes the algae blooms, and it’s coming in huge part from the septic tanks.” Selby said he didn’t think the north peninsula could wait. More discussion ensued on what would happen if a north peninsula resident decided against hooking up to city sewer. City staff said those residents would pay a fine. In the end, Kent said the mayor would get his agreement on the topic. “We’re going to make sure that Ormond Beach is permitted and we take care of some of our residents first, and then start cleaning up our Halifax River so that hopefully Wyatt, or heck, hopefully me, will see some grass growing on the bottom of that Halifax River in Ormond Beach again,” Kent said.

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington stands with the Costellos: Fred, his wife, Linda, and their youngest daughter, Arianna.

Former Mayor Fred Costello was honored by the city of Ormond Beach with a dedication ceremony on Friday, May 31, unveiling a plaque naming the amphitheater at Rockefeller Gardens after him. Mayor Bill Partington said Rockefeller Gardens was Costello’s “baby,” as Costello spearheaded improvement efforts in the early 2000s. Like John D. Rockefeller, Costello is a “visionary,” Partington said. “[Costello] saw it through, he got the funding for it and as a result, for years now, thousands and thousands of Ormond Beach residents have enjoyed visiting this park in a way that has brought

so much joy to so many individuals and families,” Partington said. Volusia County Council Chair man Ed Kelley echoed that sentiment, saying that the city owes much gratitude to Costello for what it is today. Partington had earlier credited the Andy Romano Beachfront Park and the concept for Ormond Crossings to Costello. “A visionary is not a dreamer,” Kelley said. “A visionary is one who can envision something that’s going to happen, but [Costello] carries it a step further. He executes.” Costello said he was overwhelmed with gratitude, and spoke about the need for giving back in the community. Ormond Beach has many of those, he said, and that’s “what makes the city special.” “Mayor was the best job of the world because you could see the fruits of your labors,” Costello said.

The Volusia County Council aims to explore the idea of “smart growth” within the county, with input from municipalities and other community stakeholders. Spurred by a presentation by Clay Ervin, county director of Growth and Resource Management, at the council’s meeting on Tuesday, June 4, the conversation will be brought to the Roundtable of Volusia County Elected Officials meeting next Monday, June 10, in the hopes of forming a joint mission statement to create a plan of action. That could include creating a committee. Ervin spoke to the council about the county’s comprehensive plan, which was created in 1990 and has been amended several times since. County staff is currently working on an update to the plan, he said. “The comprehensive plan is a living, breathing document,” Ervin said. “It does not sit there on the shelf.” He walked the council through the changes in growth management laws and planning processes that have occurred since 1972. The presentation was a result of the council identifying growth as a critical issue to address at its workshop in early April. Ervin said that the “buzzword of smart growth” has been around for at least a decade, as the county held smart growth summits in 2003-2004. County Councilman Ben Johnson said it’s time the council starts thinking about growth, and that it should involve all partners, stakeholders, developers and state legislators in the conversation on the topic. The county can’t tell cities what to do, Johnson said, so they have to work together. “What we need is meaningful growth,” Councilwoman Deb Denys said. “We all think we’re smart — we’ve used that word, like you said Clay [Ervin], over and over again.” Ervin said the county has about 40,000 acres available for development in its unincorporated areas. Denys agreed with Johnson on having all stakeholders participate in the conversation, and said sustainable growth can only be achieved if they change the comprehensive plan. Transportation will also play a part, she added, as miles driven per capita is growing quicker than population. County Councilwoman Heather Post said she wasn’t a fan of creating committees, but understood why the council would like one for growth. However, she said, the goal should be meeting a level of service, and advocated for speaking about working toward a mission statement in the upcoming roundtable meeting. County Council Chairman Ed Kelley agreed. “It’s going to take a concerted effort by everyone with an understanding of what we’re trying to accomplish,” Kelley said. He said the council realizes it needs to do something about growth, but it needs to figure out what that is. “I’m hopeful that we will be more cohesive than divisive,” Kelley said. “I don’t believe that we will be divisive. I think that the divisiveness that was there will disappear from the half-cent sales tax, which is what kind of divided some of the ones.”

You would never know there’s so much to learn about pizza making until you talk to Bruno DiFabio, co-owner of the recently opened Bronx House Pizza, a New Yorkstyle pizzeria and Italian restaurant in the Shoppes at Granada, 1290 W. Granada Blvd. The native New Yorker, known for pizza championships and appearances on national television, talks with the passion of an artist and the intricate knowledge of a scientist. “I’ve dedicated the past 20 years of my life to the study of pizza making,” he said recently. “Proper technique is what it’s about.” He calls the hand-stretched pizza “obsessively authentic.” One important ingredient is water for the dough recipes, which he has delivered from the Adirondack Mountains in New York. He calls the water “healthy and delicious” and says it’s low in sodium and high in calcium. The owner of several restaurants in the Northeast, he’s personally involved. He came out of the kitchen for a recent interview with a couple of sauce stains on his white chef’s outfit. His restaurants are “chef driven.”

to open a restaurant together and thought Ormond Beach would be a good location. “I like Ormond Beach,” DiFabio said. “I don’t have a ticket back.” Ormond Beach native Ashley Smith manages the restaurant after running Joe’s NY Pizza in Palm Coast for the past 12 years. “We hope to bring that success down to Ormond Beach,” she said. “We’re a team. We care about each other and do what we can to make the business successful.” Bronx House has a unique decor with old subway signs, brickwork and art murals for a New York atmosphere. There’s an open, exhibition kitchen and a large display of gourmet pizza, Stromboli, and calzones that are made throughout the day.

Keeping flour at the proper temperature is important for authenticity, DiFabio said. New York pizzerias are cooler, so even if the same recipes are used, the pizza won’t turn out the same. He knows the best wheat comes from Canada, and he will expound on the value of using a mother yeast and whole milk mozzarella. The tomatoes are grown in Modesto, California. “I like to study ingredients and find out where things are grown,” he said. After touring canneries, he has seen the care they take with their products and he wants to do the same in his restaurants. The goal at Bronx House is to have crispy, crunchy, goldenbaked pizza that is also light and airy.

Local Rotary Clubs pitch in to build outdoor classroom JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

Students attending Ormond Beach Elementary next school year have a new classroom waiting for them. Thanks to a collaboration between the Rotary Club of Downtown Ormond Beach, the Ormond Beach Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Daytona Beach West, the school’s outdoor classroom has been redesigned and rebuilt. The school now has safe space for students to learn science outside. Alex Youngblood of the Rotary Club of Downtown Ormond Beach said the former benches and desk were so old, no one was really sure how long they had been there. “It was so rotted, we spent a couple hours just trying to get the rotted boards out of the ground,” he said. The three clubs spent about

$800 to complete the two-day project last Friday and Saturday. All pitched in funds for the materials as a donation to the school for the project, which had been in the works for about a year. The clubs hope the structure lasts for a couple of decades, Youngblood said. “We’re just stronger working together,” he said. “Service above self.” He added that OBE is the the Rotary Club of Downtown Ormond Beach’s “anchor effort.” The club does the school’s gardening, conducts a Reading Buddies program, tutors students and takes care of outdoor maintenance as needed. The club is also part of the school’s Student Advisory Council. “We’re really proud to be involved with OBE,” Youngblood said.

Osceola Elementary School students demonstrated empathy for rescue animals before classes wrapped up for the summer by donating pet food for Sophie’s Circle, a local nonprofit rescue that also operates a pet food pantry. “The kids loved it,” said Jennifer Lastinger, media specialist at the school. “And the majority of food that came in was from students that just love animals.” This is the first year Lastinger hosted the food drive, and she waived lost book fees for students who brought in donations.

used this as a way to promote the drive, as well as give the children an opportunity to be responsible, Lastinger said. As someone with two rescue cats and one dog, Sophie’s Circle’s cause is close to her heart. “It was kind of a win-win,” Lastinger said. “I was like, you know what?

ROAD RAGE IMPLICATION 10:31 p.m. — 100 block of Cloverdale Court Information. A young woman called police saying an older man had yelled at her for speeding, advising that he was with the Police Department. He was not a police officer. Officers told him that, next time, he should call police to handle the situation.

MAY 23

EGGED 12:22 p.m. — first block of Trina Street Vandalism. An Ormond Beach woman told police she suspected that a former pizza delivery guy egged her vehicle. The woman’s neighbor alerted her to the damage, which consisted of several eggs on the car as well as scratches and gouges to the passenger side. When police asked her who could have done this, she told them that a pizza delivery guy had gotten her order wrong a month ago, and had shown up intoxicated to deliver the food. She and her roommate reported him to the restaurant’s manager, and he was later fired.

COPS CORNER

BUDGET CONSTRAINTS 9 a.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard Petit theft. Police arrested a 31-year-old Bunnell woman who didn’t pay for $70 worth of items while checking out at a local supermarket, telling police that the total was “getting too high so she didn’t ring up some items.” They found oxycodone in her handbag; she said she found the pills while cleaning out her old car.

Burglary suspect CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Garcia said McDade has been addicted for 10 years, and he traded the stolen items for narcotics. “This is the damage that one person can do with unlocked vehicles,” Larsen said. Aside from the guns, the recovered items from the agency’s search warrants of McDade’s hotel room and car include numerous gift cards, credit cards, tools and laptops. It’s one of the largest haul of items OBPD has recovered at one time, Larsen said. “Almost all of this wouldn’t be here, if these cars were locked,” Larsen said. McDade is currently facing over 20 burglary and theft charges, eight of which come from OBPD. According to arrest affidavits, McDade admitted in a postMiranda interview with Garcia that he burglarized numerous vehicles in the Ormond Beach area. OBPD believes the items recovered could have originated from Duval County to the southern parts of Volusia. Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said that McDade’s arrest is a result of new home surveillance camera technology and police work. He stressed the importance of citizens locking their vehicles, issuing a reminder about OBPD’s 9 p.m. routine campaign, which is broadcast through agency’s Facebook page in hopes citizens lock their vehicles before going to sleep. “I’m very proud of the men and women who put in a lot of hours in this investigation,” Godfrey said.

Former Ormond Beach teen earns spot on U.S. National Under-17 Ice Hockey Team

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

ce hockey players are few and far between in Florida. Growing up in Palm Coast and Ormond Beach, Ethan Straky was often the only kids in his grade who played the sport. “Florida is not looked upon as one of those elite hockey states,” said Straky, who turned 16 in March. “But it’s on the rise for sure. I think it’s growing.” His family moved from California to Palm Coast in 2006. They moved to Ormond Beach a few years later, where Straky attended St. James Episcopal school from kindergarten to fifth grade and St. Brendan’s Catholic School through seventh grade. His parents, however, grew up in Ontario, right across the border from Detroit. Straky remembers turning on the TV as a little kid to watch his favorite NHL team: the Detroit Red Wings. It was these moments where he first fell in love with the game. “It just kind of took off from there,” he said. “I developed an extreme passion for it.” Straky learned to skate when he was about 6 years old. It took about six months for him to get comfortable gliding across the

ice. He started practicing hockey at the Daytona Ice Arena, and he participated in recreation hockey leagues and a Travel A league, the starter level for youth ice hockey. “I kind of just threw myself into it,” he said. “I loved it ever since I stepped on the ice.” He rose through the ranks of travel hockey in the state, advancing to AA, then AAA with a Flori-

da Alliance team for a short time. Before the start of the eighth grade, he visited Detroit, which is considered one of the best regions in the country for AAA hockey, to try out for Little Caesars’ AAA travel team, which is an affiliate of the Red Wings. He made the team as a defenseman with a knack for playing both ways, and the family decided to

move to the Motor City. “We miss living in Florida on a daily basis, but it’s worth it for Ethan to pursue his dream,” his father, Craig Straky, said. “It’s been a change of life for my wife and I, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.” That move was three years ago, and Ethan Straky hasn’t looked back. He verbally committed to play ice hockey for Notre Dame, one of the top teams in the country, on St. Patrick’s Day in 2018. In addition, he’ll be playing for the U.S. National Under-17 Team next year. “It’s been my goal for a while to play on the national team,” he said. “It’s just a tremendous honor to be able to represent my country.” He’ll be on the team for the next two years. After that, it’s on to South Bend, Indiana, to represent the Fighting Irish. His goal of one day playing in the NHL, a dream he’s had since first stepping onto the ice all those years ago, is betting ever so close to being realized. “I’m starting to realize that there might be a chance,” Ethan said. “And that just makes me want it even more.” Email Ray Boone at ray@palmcoastobserver.com.

“We’re just so proud of him. We never pushed him to do it. It’s something he’s always wanted to do — to be on the ice as much as he could.” CRAIG STRAKY, Ethan’s father

Former Seabreeze baseball coach Anthony Campanella.

was recently hired to coach the Bulldogs, according to FPC Atlletics Director Steve DeAugustino. He replaced Jordan Butler, who coached the Bulldogs for the past nine seasons. Campanella spent 27 years teaching at Seabreeze after he was hired fresh after graduating from Flagler College in 1992. In that time span, he amassed a 432-235 overall record and qualified for the state tournament 18 times. He led Seabreeze to seven district championships, three state Final Fours and a runner-up finish in 2001. FPC was the only school he would leave Seabreeze for, Campanella said. His uncle was former FPC Principal Sal Campanella. “It’s difficult,” he said of leaving Seabreeze. “I can’t look back, but Seabreeze was my home for so many years. But I’m glad to have this new home. I’m excited about the opportunity to start something new here. FPC has always been really close to me.”

Former Seabreeze coach hired as FPC’s head coach

Power hitting clinic to be held at Sports Complex

Anthony Campanella spent 25 seasons — 24 as a head coach and one as an assistant — with Seabreeze High School’s baseball team, stepping away from his position in June 2017. He took a year off from the sport. But while he was coaching the Orlando Scorpions travel ball team during the summer of 2018, he realized he missed it. He wanted to return to high school baseball. After spending the 2019 season as an assistant coach at Flagler Palm Coast, Campanella

Upgrading before hurricane season Flagler County Emergency Management gives tips for residents trying to prepare. JONATHAN SIMMONS NEWS EDITOR

It only takes one, Flagler County Emergency Management Chief Jonathan Lord tells people who ask him how busy he thinks the upcoming hurricane season will be. “It can be the quietest season ever in the history of hurricanes, and if that one storm comes to Flagler County, it’s obviously a very big issue for us,” he said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s prediction is for four to eight hurricanes, and a total of nine to 15 named storms this hurricane season, which begins June 1. And we got one early: This year’s first storm was Subtropical Storm Andrea, which formed the night of May 20 and dissipated soon after. It’s the fifth year in a row that a storm was named before the start of hurricane season. Since Hurricane Irma swiped Flagler’s flank in 2017, flooding the coastal areas, as well as land near Crescent Lake, the county has made a number of changes to its emergency management, some still in progress. It’s developing a list of transportation-challenged residents, to complement its list of residents with special medical needs. That way, people who need help get-

ting to a shelter can be taken there by public transportation. It’s preparing to be able to accept pets at a special needs shelter, so individuals with special medical concerns don’t try to ride out a storm in an evacuation zone because they don’t have someplace to go that will accommodate their pets. It’s doubled the number of volunteers at the county’s Emer-

gency Operation Center, each of them providing a minimum of four hours of service a week. It’s developed a plan to create “comfort stations” for the public, so that if there are delays in getting power returned after a storm, people can come and relax in the air conditioning, make a phone call, and — if possible — access the internet. It’s sending every new county

government employee through a brief disaster preparedness class, as well as an incident command training class. “We’ve given them at least the knowledge to prepare their families, so when they’re coming to work they’re at least comfortable that their families are taken care of,” Lord said.

BEFORE THE STORM National recommendations suggest keeping three to five days of food, water and supplies on hand for an emergency (plus plenty of cash), but Flagler County Emergency Management Chief Jonathan Lord thinks that’s not enough, given how long it can take to get power back after a storm: He suggests five to seven days.

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2019

He also encourages residents to think about their medical needs early, and make sure they have enough of any medications ahead of time, so they don’t run out while pharmacies are closed and roads impassable. Pets are another consideration: In addition to keeping enough food, water and medicine for them, Lord said, residents who want to take their pet to a petfriendly shelter will need to be able to provide proof that their pet’s vaccinations are up to date. Pets also need to have a crate or cage.

‘EVACUATE TENS OF MILES, NOT HUNDREDS OF MILES’

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12

The county has also revived its 30-hour Community Emergency Response Team training class, and has trained more than 100 people over the last year, teaching first aid, basic search and rescue, fire safety, mental health safety and disaster preparedness. (For information on CERT training, see the story on the opposite page. Also, see https://bit.ly/2W1naHl). It’s also in the process of upgrading its emergency radio system so that first responders will have better communication ability. That transition will be completed in the next few months.

County Emergency Management Technician Bob Pickering shows off an amateur radio that the county keeps available in case radio towers are damaged in a storm.

If you’re in an evacuation zone and are ordered to evacuate for a hurricane, “We encourage people to evacuate tens of miles, not hundreds of miles,” Flagler County Emergency Management Chief Jonathan Lord said. “Orlando — it’s not necessarily the worst place to evacuate there.” That can beat evacuating to Georgia or North

Carolina, Lord said, because a storm might change direction and end up in those states anyhow, and Florida has a stronger building code than the other states do. Going inland to a location away from water, then, is a better bet. Evacuation zones, he noted, are based on danger from storm surge — the

And it’s preparing to test its amateur VHF radio equipment to ensure that it can communicate if towers are damaged. County Emergency Management Technician Bob Pickering showed off the county’s amateur radio to reporters May 24. “I like to read about the problems with some of these really big tropical cyclones — Michael was akin to a Camille, or even approaching the strength of an Andrew,” Pickering said. “And there will be more storms like those. And so I’m always trying to think, ‘What happens if something like that hits here? What can we do?’” Meanwhile, the state has rolled out a new, computer-based emergency management system that has been implemented in every county. Called WebEOC, it can be used both for coordination within the county and between the county and the state, easing the process of applying for state assistance. “It will definitely help us with getting support when we need

major killer when it comes to hurricanes in the U.S. — not wind. For people who do decide to evacuate, Lord said, it’s a good idea to plan ahead to have multiple routes, in case one becomes blocked, and to be able to access them offline. And, he said, make sure to have a plan for any pets.

it from outside Flagler County,” Lord said. Flagler County will try it out in a mock exercise at the Emergency Operations Center in late June. And several weeks ago, the county took part in a joint hurricane preparedness exercise with the state. Lord urged residents not to become complacent when it comes to preparing. “A lot of residents that I’ve met will say they went through a Category 3 or 4 storm in Irma and Matthew,” Lord said. “While those storms were those categories at some point in time, they were less than Category 1 impacts in our county. ... At some point in time Flagler County is going to get a larger storm, and the better our community is prepared, residents and businesses the better our government is prepared, we can recover and get the community back to normal.”

Preparing for a storm Volusia County Emergency Management director talks tips

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

With hurricane season officially underway, early preparation is key, said Volusia County Emergency Management Director Jim Judge.

“When people are prepared, then it makes my job easier. It makes recovery easier.” JIM JUDGE, Volusia County Emergency Management Director

From making a checklist of items and preparing documents, to revisiting insurance policies and making a family plan, there are things people can do before a storm that will benefit them in the long run should the area be hit with a storm this season. Hurricane season isn’t something to delay planning for until a storm is announced, Judge said. “When people are prepared, then it makes my job easier,” Judge said. “It makes recovery easier.” Hurricane season began on June 1 and ends on Nov. 30. Here are some things the county’s emergency management director wants residents to keep in mind so they can plan accordingly. STAY INFORMED, AND DON’T WAIT

Pay attention to the weather, Judge said. Despite the fact it’s early in the season, there has already been one named storm: Subtropical storm Andrea. That’s an example that a storm can happen outside of hurricane season. “If you don’t like watching the news, at least just watch the weather,” Judge said. People should evaluate how ready they are now to avoid getting caught by surprise, he said. They should plan on losing power during a storm, and therefore

Be sure to have four to five days’ food on hand.

have battery-operated flashlights and lanterns on hands, as well as batteries. A hand crank radio will also be useful to stay in touch with what’s happening in the community. Having four to five days worth of food in the pantry is suggested, Judge said. Peanut butter is one of his personal emergency food staples. Judge also said people have the responsibility to craft a family plan in case they need to evacu-

ate. “Hide from the wind, run from the water,” is a slogan to keep in mind when making a plan, he said. And if you have to evacuate quickly, Judge said having all your important documents in one place, like an old suitcase, is a good idea. “If you wait until danger is here, it’s too late,” he said. Residents should also review their insurance policies and consider buying flood insurance if they don’t have it yet. For those

planning to evacuate to a county shelter, they should plan to bring their own food, cot, chair and supplies. INSIDE THE EOC

During Hurricane Irma, Judge counted 248 people inside the county’s Emergency Operations Center in Daytona Beach. That number included several individuals with the communication center, as well as representatives from all 16 municipalities, power companies, the airport, Department of Transportation and universities. “It’s crazy,” Judge said. “Everybody in here is a problem-solver.” The county has 20 emergency support functions, such as health and medical and law enforcement that oversee certain agencies. The county’s health department takes the lead of the local hospitals and EMS, and the Sheriff’s Oepartment is the lead law enforcement agency. Having everyone in one room helps since the county will be making many requests throughout a state of emergency, Judge explained. Depending on the storm, curfews, protective actions and calls for evacuation may need to be enacted. The county is also in charge of requesting supplies in advance of and after a storm. “With Irma, we had 20 hours of tropical-storm sustained winds, so we just needed to have all the people here,” Judge said. If no one in the room can solve a problem, then it comes to him. “Emergency management is a team effort, and it really involves everyone throughout the county,”

Judge said. The county is also gearing up to host its first hurricane expo at the Volusia County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 8. The free event, hosted in cooperation with the Volusia Community Organizations Active in Disaster and the Volusia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, will offer educational presentations about storm safety, hazards and emergency preparation. Local businesses, service organizations and county divisions will also be in attendance. Judge will be leading a facts and myths session. “We’re all vulnerable to a potential for a disaster,” Judge said. “While we would like to think it’s going to happen to somebody else, it can happen to us.”

 Decide when you would evacuate. Are you in a low-lying area that may flood? Are you in a coastal high-wind zone? Does your home meet the current building code for hurricanes? Do you live in a high fire-hazard area? If you are asked to evacuate by authorities, do so in a timely manner.  List simple action steps in priority order. These will vary with the nature of the threat.  Create an emergency kit with supplies and copies of essential documents kept in water-resistant containers.  Have school and work phone numbers handy. Establish a meeting place for family members in the event of a home fire or if a disaster occurs while you are not together. Have a local contact and one from out of state.  Identify special transportation or medical needs in the event of an evacuation. Sign up for the Special Needs Registry.  Have a plan for pets. Flagler County does operate pet-friendly shelters if you plan to evacuate to a shelter. Otherwise, arrange to stay with friends or family members not in the evacuation zone who are willing to house you and your pets.  Consider modifications to protect your home from wildfire, wind and rising water. Review insurance coverage, particularly flood insurance,

which often must be purchased separately.  Learn about community emergency plans. How will your child’s school react? What about plans at work? What if bridges or roads are closed? AT YOUR BUSINESS Whether open or closed, local businesses are still exposed to the same hazards as the rest of the community, and it pays to be prepared. Just like with residences, steps must be taken prior to an event to repair and strengthen structures and to relocate or brace equipment and other property. Even small proactive measures can result in sparing your business tremendous amounts of damage in case of a disaster.  Protect your windows and doors against windborne debris by installing a shutter system or attaching plywood.  Evaluate your roof system to make sure it can weather a storm.  Remove overhanging trees and branches that could fall and damage structures.  Anchor and brace tall bookcases, filing cabinets, shelves, and racks to wall studs to keep them from falling.  Relocate valuable equipment and fragile items to safer locations.  Take important business documents, licenses and insurance documents with you.  Back up computer files if

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 2019

possible.  Secure computers and other office equipment to desks, tables or countertops with straps, Velcro or similar materials.  Secure all appropriate items including water heaters, gas tanks, heaters and other utilities, and raise them to higher locations to avoid water damage.  Shut off your utilities (electricity, gas, and/or water).  Update all gas appliances with flexible connections and/ or breakaway gas shut-off devices. Additionally, having a business disaster preparedness plan can reduce the time of recovery and allow your business to more rapidly resume normal operations following a disaster. A business disaster plan should include the following:  Important business contacts, including utilities, suppliers, accountants and employees;  Alternate location(s) for your business should relocation be necessary due to damages;  Important records and documents necessary to business operation;  Checklists of important steps to take before, during and after a disaster; and Emergency contacts for the community, such as the perforated Important Information card on the back page of this guide. go to www.flaglercounty.org/emergency for more information and to help you create your own business disaster plan.

After the disaster: Upon cessation of the hazard(s), re-entry is not permitted until a preliminary survey has been conducted to determine whether conditions are safe. The re-entry plan incorporates traffic control locations and check points to identify returning individuals. Prior to returning, it is imperative that residents and business owners check county and municipal websites to determine which re-entry phase their community is in.

What wakes me up The Casements to showcase exhibition of local abstract art Ormond Beach resident Nancy McElroy’s piece, “Core.”

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

For a group of Ormond Beach artists, art is everywhere. It’s in paintings, sculptures, fabrics, foods and the shapes that make up everyday objects. As part of the Beaux Arts of Central Florida, these artists are hoping that people who come see their exhibition at The Casements will see that art doesn’t have to be about a specific thing. “It is not necessarily a picture of something,” Ormond Beach artist Robin Moore said. “It could be a

Robert Shirk and his piece, “Hiogi PeekA-Boo.”

mood, it could be an emotion — it could just be an interesting composition of colors and shapes.” The show, titled “Art Is Why I Wake Up in the Morning,” features art from 25 artists, six of whom are from Ormond Beach. Beaux Arts is an invite-only organization composed of 50 professional and semiprofessional artists that began in the Halifax area in 1962, according to the Beaux Arts website. Fay Samimi, one of the six local artists, specializes in sculptures. In line with the show’s title, she said she wakes up early and excited in the morning when she has a project in mind. In contrast, when Ormond Beach artist Robert Shirk first heard the theme, he paused. Art is what actually keeps him up at night, he said. This group of artists hasn’t always painted in abstract styles. Many of them got started in realism, as was the case with Moore when she found the Art League of Daytona. At the time, she was painting what she called “Florida art” — seascapes and traditional landscapes. “I love abstract art,” Moore said. “I didn’t know if I could do it, but I kind of conquered the realistic, I thought, and I was ready to try something new.” So she got into a class, and the rest is history, she said. Ormond Beach artist Barbara Perkins said she’s intrigued by the mystery of abstract art. As

they do with Shirk, ideas come to her at night. “So often in some of the things that I’m working on, I’ll have an idea or fun images, but then again, something else shows up that I don’t expect that is mysterious, and that’s really wonderful, I think,” Perkins said. What Ormond Beach artist Babz Lupoli loves is seeing people look at art during a show. “What you want them to do is stop and be attracted to some painting and then they just stand there,” Lupoli said. “They really look at it and that’s what I like. When people really give a painting a chance.” Art is more important now than ever, Moore said, and the group agreed. People need that “oasis,” she said. Lupoli said that someone told her a long time ago that “work is what we do so we can get to the arts.” Samimi started making standard clay pieces on the wheel, but after a while, she felt like she had done everything. Moore said making the journey from realism to abstraction is like taking “two steps forward and one step back.” She said artists have to let go of that reference to a realistic subject matter. “It’s almost like a safety net,” Moore said. “You have to be willing to jump out of that safety net.”

Volusia property values near record level It’s the highest the property tax roll has been since 2007. WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR

The property tax roll for Volusia County continues to climb, reaching $59.5 billion this year, which is 95% of the record set in 2007. “We’ll probably set that new record in 2020,” said Larry Bartlett, Volusia County property appraiser.

All of the value figures being issued are preliminary and will be finalized in coming months. The $59.5 billion is 8% higher than the 2018 value. The amount includes new construction, as well as the rising value of existing residential and commercial property, which is based on selling prices. “People think we set the values,” Bartlett said. “The market sets the values.” Bartlett pointed out that Amazon has placed a distribution center near the interstate, showing a confidence by the business community in the area’s growth. Also,

residential construction bodes well for future growth, such as Margaritaville and the Mosaic community, both in the LPGA Boulevard/Interstate 95 area. “Additionally, 2,200 apartment units have been added to the tax roll the past four years,” he said. He sees the beach and location on the I-4 corridor as being attractive for business and residents. Bartlett said the 8% increase in property value is comparable to growth in years since the recession, and called it sustainable. When values rise, the county and cities can collect more prop-

erty tax money by keeping millage rates the same. Ormond Beach and other municipalities will set millage rates later this year. Millage rates can also be lowered to collect the same amount as the previous year, called the “roll-back rate.”

The preliminary figures show property value in Ormond Beach up 5.93% from 2018 to $3.6 billion. New construction was $35 million of that total. There was some new residential construction in the city, notably in Chelsea Place and River Oaks, according to the property appraiser’s office. But rising value of existing homes also boosts the

total property value. The Community Redevelopment Area of Granada Boulevard showed a 4.1% increase in property value to about $116 million, mostly due to overall rising property values. The area includes Granada Boulevard from the ocean to Orchard Avenue and a few blocks north and south. The property value in the Ormond Crossings CRA increased 4.9% to about $9.5 million. The purchase of property by Security First influenced the rise, but land value in general caused the increase. Security First is not yet on the tax roll, but when it’s completed, it will be a boost to the tax value, according to a spokesman in the Property Appraiser’s Office.
