After ‘placebo’ AP test, Mainland students offered elective The investigation also resulted in the reprimand of the school principal and the resignation of a district employee. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

THE INVESTIGATION
The investigation into the “placebo” AP tests began after a whistleblower sent a letter about the situation to Assistant Deputy Commissioner Jason Gaitanis with the Florida Department of Education. In the letter, the whistleblower said that Mainland Principal Cheryl Salerno cheated students out of the opportunity to gain college credit for the AP course by only giving the test to three of the 18 classes. The whistleblower claimed the teachers were told not to tell the students or parents about this. Documents provided to the Ormond Beach Observer by the district reflect that Salerno and former Chief Academic Officer Teresa Marcks were both rep-
rimanded. Marcks — who had been demoted from her position to assistant principal at a local school by former Superintendent Tom Russell by the second semester of last year — resigned in late June. School Board Member Carl Persis said people have asked him why Salerno wasn’t demoted, and he explained it was because she was issued a written reprimand instead. The district can’t put a person in “double-jeopardy” for an action, he said. “I think we’ve all learned something from this experience,” Persis said. The investigative summary for Salerno shows that she told the investigator that she believed the whistleblower was a non-reappointed teacher, and explained that the AP Capstone Program was made up of two courses: AP Seminar, and AP Research. Salerno believed there was no tradi-
fraction of them was the backup plan. “I’m expecting [Salerno] to rebound,” Persis said. “She loves that school and she will probably try even harder than ever to do whatever she needs to do to set the ship right.” ‘PARENTS WILL NEED TO DECIDE’
Enrolling in the elective research course will require students to change an elective they have already registered for. The Pilot Program has been discontinued for the 2019-2020 school year, and incoming freshman schedules are currently being revised. Persis said many parents are still upset. One parent of a student who took the fake test told him that her daughter had an A in the AP Seminar class, and that she would have likely passed the real AP exam. No “good answer” can be given to a parent like that, Persis said, as the students cannot be retested at the present time. He said the district is going to do everything it can to ensure the students’ success following the matter. “I am deeply sorry and troubled by the deception that occurred at the Mainland High School,” Persis said. “At the same time, I am confident that something like this will not happen in the future and believe that the administrative team and all of the great teachers at Mainland are going to do everything possible to restore their faith and trust in the system.”

The investigation into the “placebo” Advanced Placement Seminar exams given to the 329 Mainland High School students in May has resulted in the reprimand of the school principal and the resignation of a district employee. In the aftermath, students and their parents will have to decide whether to participate in an elective research course next school year, with the opportunity to retake the AP exam at no cost at the end of the class in May 2020, the district said in a statement on Monday, July 15, following the release of the investigation documents. With only 85 students who took the official test, those who scored a 1 or a 2 will also be able to retake the test. Letters and calls about the issue will go out to families by July 19, according to the statement. “The primary reason for the preparation and retake opportunity is that the Pilot Program offered at Mainland failed to make it clear to parents and students that only a sample of the 400-plus students enrolled in the course would be administered the official AP exam, while the rest
tional AP exam for the Seminar course, and that it was a prerequisite for the AP Research class. The AP course given for the Seminar course was a sorting factor for future placement in AP Research, she said, and the school could not afford to have every student take the AP Seminar exam at the end of the school year. Marcks told the investigator that she believed Salerno agreed that the school would self-fund the cost for the students to take the AP Seminar exams. The investigator also spoke with Bard Keeler, senior director of the Florida State and District Partnerships and the designer of the current Capstone project, whose initial statement after hearing the situation was, “Holy crap,” according to investigation documents. Keeler said both AP Seminar and AP Research were eligible for college credit, and that AP Capstone doesn’t recommend standalone courses like what Mainland offered, but that they do authorize them, and that there was a signed agreement with Salerno. He said there was no obligation for a minimum or maximum number of course participants, and that neither AP Capstone and College Board had a problem with the low number of students who took the real test. Keeler said he saw the way these students were tested as a problem because parents and students weren’t “properly notified about the different exam tracts.” Salerno told the investigator that she hoped to get funding to test all the students in the AP Seminar course.

Two residents also spoke at the meeting. Resident Andrew Miller said the lodge is long gone, and possibly the only feature that could be saved is a chimney. “It’s a negative for our street, unfortunately,” Miller said.

A
piece of Ormond Beach history hangs in the balance. The John Anderson Lodge, located at 71 Orchard Lane, is one of the few remaining connections to Hotel Ormond. Located on the east side of Orchard Lane, land Anderson bought when he arrived, the cottage was built for hotel employees to use. Stories say John Anderson threw parties in the lodge, which is built on pilings and features vertical palm tree siding. But the lodge is long past its heyday. The wood is rotted and full of termites. Sunshine creeps in from holes in the roof and siding. The original floors are gone in part of the house — and the missing parquet tiles in the more recent additions resemble a checkerboard pattern. It’s neglect that didn’t happen overnight, and is likely a couple decades in the making. Owner Shed Roberson bought the property in 2017 for $150,000, hoping to help preserve it. Born and raised in Ormond Beach, Roberson lives in a historic property himself, and his mother has helped saved a handful of historic homes herself, including Talahloko and the Emmons Cottage. “Genetically, I’ve been cursed or blessed with saving historic homes,” Roberson said. “And that was my heart and my intent from the get-go with this house — was to save this house.” The city’s Historic Landmark Preservation Board met on Monday, July 15, to decide whether or not to remove the John Anderson Lodge from the local Historic Landmarks list in the city’s Land Development Code. On May 29, city staff declared the lodge an unsafe structure. Roberson then could either repair it, or demolish it. He is seeking to demolish it. In front of the board, Roberson was visibly emotional as he explained

he’d had long talks with his family about the property. “It’s gotten to the point where I have no choice,” Roberson said. “It is beyond repair.” Because being part of the city’s Historic Landmarks list is voluntary, the board approved Roberson’s request, though not without difficulty. “When we take something like that off the list, we’re setting a precedent,” Board Chair Dr. Philip Shapiro said. “There are other sites and structures that are old, need remediation, and I’m not always certain where that dividing line is that we say, ‘It’s too far gone,’ as compared to, ‘It’s worth the investment.’” COULD WE SAVE IT?
Roberson told the board he’d exhausted every avenue he knew of to try to save the house. He explored leaving the original footprint, but the house has foundation problems. He was told by a contractor that the house would need to be airlifted by a truck — hoping the walls and roof don’t collapse while doing so — and maintained in the
air as the foundation is repaired. Then, the house would need to be placed back down on the new structure, but there was a chance it could collapse then as well. “The termites are holding it together — and that’s to be nice,” Roberson said. Ormond Beach Chief Building Official Tom Griffith said he, the fire chief and the city engineer checked out the house. Griffith doesn’t believe the structure would hold if airlifted, he said. He believes perhaps only the roof would be able to be lifted. To save the John Anderson Lodge, he said, extensive repairs would be needed. Shapiro asked about making replica walls, and Griffith said the city would have to look into that. “You would have to replace the whole house,” Griffith said. City Senior Planner Laureen Kornel and Assistant City Attorney Ann-Margret Emery told the board that it wasn’t deciding whether or not to tear down the lodge, just whether it should be removed from the Historic Landmarks list. “That is not within this board’s discretion to really even comment
Board member Suzanne Heddy had questions about the potential sale of the property. In front of the lodge, a Roberson’s Realty company sign says a sale is pending. She asked whether the demolition was part of the contract, but Roberson said he couldn’t speak about it. However, local billionaire and former Brown & Brown CEO J. Hyatt Brown also spoke during the meeting, revealing that he was the prospective buyer. He said one of his sons has always admired Orchard Lane, and that when his son, who is currently in Africa, decides to come back home, he would like to have a home there. If the demolition goes through, Brown said, he and his wife will buy the property and transfer it to their son. A home characteristic of the historic street would be built. Heddy mourned the potential loss of the John Anderson lodge. “The street is becoming gentrified,” Heddy said. Shapiro responded that clocks move forward, and not back. “This is very difficult,” Shapiro said. “This is a major contributing structure in our history. We made the choice we had to make.” The removal of the property from the Historic Landmarks list will reach the Planning Board on Aug. 8, and City Commission hearings are tentatively scheduled for Sept. 10 and 24.
HISTORY OF THE JOHN ANDERSON LODGE: According to the Florida Stories walking tour app, the lodge was built by John Anderson in the 1870s on land that he bought and named the Santa Lucia Plantation, now Orchard Lane. There were many wild animals in the area at the time, including hogs, snakes and bears. That’s why the house is on pilings — to keep the critters out. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. “Weather, fire and the pressures of development all challenged the preservation of places such as this, but like any historical structure, it has a story to tell about how it managed to survive,” the tour voiceover said.
Ormond Beach Historical Society searching for untold stories Not much is known about the 200 graves in the town’s historic all-African American cemetery, and the Historical Society is hoping to change that. JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR
The Ormond Beach Historical Society is aiming to preserve more of the city’s black history by investigating one of the oldest — and least known— cemeteries in town. Gethsemane Cemetery is nestled in the 100 block of South Orchard Street, and has been closed for some time. It is home to close to 200 graves, said Erlene Turner, who is both a board member and chairman of the education committee for the Historical Society. A historically all-African American cemetery, Gethsemane is the final resting place for a diverse range of people, including
veterans, and for most of them, their stories remain untold. That’s why the Historical Society is asking for help identifying those buried in the cemetery and hopes that descendants of relatives could come forward and provide details of their lives. Researching efforts began seven years ago with Board Member Joyce Benedict, Turner said. The Historical Society currently performs two re-enactment events at Hillside Cemetery and Pilgrims Rest. Turner said the organization hopes to expand that. “What we’re trying to do is have a similar program here at Gethsemane,” Turner said. Maybe some of the people
buried here worked for John D. Rockefeller or at the former Hotel Ormond, Turner said. The oldest visible date on a grave in the cemetery is 1870. James F. Daniels, who moved to Ormond Beach in 1939 when he was 11, said a lot of people were buried at Gethsemane during the 1940s and ’50s. One of them is his younger brother. There are also friends and cousins of Daniels resting at Gethsemane. “Lots of people I know out here,” Daniels said. To contact the Historical Society about potential leads for those in the cemetery, call 677-7005 or email office@ormondhistory.org.

Planning Director Steven Spraker said there is an opportunity for shared parking in the area, as well as parking along Coquina Court and Vining Court. “There’s parking on the streets,” he said. “It’s just not as close as Julian’s.” Joe Hopkins, representative for Mamane, said the 15-foot landscaping would be higher than ground level and also very dense. G.G. Galloway recused himself from the voting because he had represented previous owners of the property as a real estate agent, and Harold Briley, also a real estate agent, recused himself because of a working relationship with Adams Cameron. The other five Planning Board members unanimously rejected the request for no wall and reduced landscaping. “I would never want to consider smaller landscaping,” said board member Lori Tolland. Board Chairman Doug Thomas said he would not vote in favor of removing a wall requirement. He said he remembers when the board fought to have a wall requirement between residential and commercial. Al Jorczak said in the discussion that he had no problem with smaller landscaping but would need a wall, but he voted to approve the motion when made by Tolland.

At the neighborhood meeting on plans for the Julian’s restaurant site, there was discussion about a 35-foot, hand-painted mural in the restaurant. At the Planning Board meeting, member G.G. Galloway announced that the mural was purchased and removed by a local resident. “It is well protected and preserved,” he said. A museum in Atlanta had expressed interest in the art, he said.
The City Commission will decide if Land Development Code requirements for walls and landscaping can be changed for a planned gift shop that will replace the old Julian’s Dining Room and Lounge at 88 S. Atlantic Ave. The first reading will be Aug. 20 and second reading will be Sept. 10. The Planning Board voted at its July 11 meeting to not recommend the changes requested by the owner, Pinchas “Pinny” Mamane, who plans to build an Ocean Club. He seeks to reduce the required buffer between commercial and residential from 30 to 15 feet at the property and remove the requirement for a wall. The former Julian’s would be demolished. Currently, there is no buffer and no wall between Julian’s and Florence Street to the west. Constructed in 1967, the building is non-conforming to the Land Development Code. One resident came forward to say a wall and buffer are needed. “I like to sit and drink coffee on my porch,” he said. “I don’t want to see cars pulling in.” The other residential properties along Florence Street are owned by Mamane. John Adams, president of Adams Cameron Realty, located next door, had expressed concerns at the neighborhood meeting about losing a longstanding parking arrangement he had with the former owner of Julian’s. He said he has since discussed the issue with Mamane, who agreed to share parking. However, Adams said other businesses have used the Julian’s lot because of a parking shortage in the area. He suggested the city look at adding parking. “If we don’t find answers to parking, businesses will fail,” he said.

Homeowners fear traffic impact from apartments COMMISSION VOTE
Landowner seeks changes in density requirements.
The City Commission will determine if density requirements can be changed near single-family homes in two readings, Aug. 20 and Sept. 10.
WAYNE GRANT REAL ESTATE EDITOR
Some say new housing should fill in the undeveloped areas of a city, rather than sprawling outside the city. But there’s also the effect on the adjacent neighborhoods in the city to be considered. There was a dispute at the July 11 Planning Board meeting between the owner of property between Dix and Highland avenues east of U.S. 1 and those who live on surrounding streets. The owner wants to have density changed so apartments can be built, and the residents fear more traffic on already burdened streets. The Planning Board voted unanimously in favor of the landowner and the City Commission will make the final decision in two readings, Aug. 20 and Sept. 10. Several residents said Highland and Dix avenues are already bad because of traffic speeding and avoiding Granada Boulevard, including delivery trucks. They said the streets are so narrow a car must pull over to allow another one to pass.

A landowner seeks to build apartments in the subject area shown. Neighbors are concerned about traffic.
“The traffic is insane,” said Mark Meyer. “It will get worse. Consider the people. The people don’t want it.” Terry Mercer expressed concerns that the traffic would overflow into the nearby historic district. “We have bread trucks from the Dollar General,” she said. DENSITY CHANGES
For the eastern 2.52 acres of the subject property, which lies
“The traffic is insane. It will get worse. Consider the people. The people don’t want it.” MARK MEYER, resident near proposed apartments
between single-family homes, the land use would change from low density residential to medium density, increasing from 4.3 units per acre to 12 units per acre, which would allow two-story apartment buildings. The area also contains 3.48 acres along U.S. 1, zoned commercial, where the landowner is proposing a reduction in residential density, from 32 units to 22 units per acre (111 to 77) so that there would be no net increase in density in the entire area. Also, the entire area would have a cap of 60 residential units, limiting the overall impact. James Stowers, attorney and former city commissioner, who represents the landowner, CST Holdings LLC, said the project is smart growth because it is infill as
opposed to urban sprawl. He also said there are examples of multifamily home near single-family with no negative impact. Stowers said any future plans would address concerns expressed at the meeting. “We are taking notes on the comments,” he said. Ella Dunaway, the child of a resident, spoke at the meeting, saying if apartments are built it would mean a loss of wildlife that she enjoys seeing. She’s even named the animals. “The birds have babies,” she said. “If you build on the land all the animals will be gone.” DEALING WITH TRAFFIC
When land use or zoning changes are made, nearby residents are
usually assured by city officials that any building plans will have to go through neighborhood meetings as well as City Commission approval and the project could be rejected. “They will have to come back through the same process,” said board member G.G. Galloway. “All we’re doing is changing density.” Board member Al Jorczak said the city needs to take a look at the problems in the neighborhoods caused by traffic avoiding Granada Boulevard and U.S. 1. “Even if it’s a matter of taking right of way,” he said. “When you have residents saying they can’t pass each other, we need to deal with that.” The Planning Board generally agreed the project is worthwhile and traffic concerns, such as ingress and egress, can be addressed later. “We hear people say we need to do infill,” said Board Chairman Doug Thomas. “People are concerned about sprawl.” Email Wayne Grant at business@ormondbeachobserver. com.

With more military deploying to the Middle East, Ormond Strong is re-starting its daily walks over the Granada Bridge.
YOUR TOWN ORGANIZATIONS SHIP CLEAN WATER SYSTEMS TO CUBA City Commissioner Dwight Selby and Port Orange resident Jerry Penny recently traveled to Cuba on a clean water mission trip. United Servants Abroad, a ministry organization for which Selby serves on the board, has been lending a hand to Cuba residents for about eight years. Men of Faith Florida, a local organization, built the cases to ship clean water systems, which consist of 350 parts and weigh over 200 pounds, Selby said. He also serves on that organization’s board, and they have sent 48 clean water systems to Cuba to date. Selby and Penny were in Old Havana as the 29th system was installed in a Methodist church in Old Havana. Clean water systems have been installed in nine of the 15 Cuban provinces, all in churches. The water is free to anyone who needs it. “Some people come from long distances to get the water,” Selby said. “They estimate that they’re serving over 100 people a day.”
PETS OF THE WEEK United Servants Abroad provides the $5,000 systems to the churches at no cost. The churches are responsible for having two storage tanks for the systems — one for clean water, and one for dirty water.
HELPING HANDS THRU ARTS DONATES $2,000 Ormond Beach-based Helping Hands Thru Arts recently donated $2,000 to Holly Hill schools thanks to the recent Holly Hill Arts Festival, which the organization produced and presented. The partners of HHTA Pat Masotti-Abernathy and Dr. Pam Fieldus presented a $1,000 check to Holly Hill K-8 Principal Jason Watson and a $1,000 check to United Brethren in Christ Pastor Josh McKeown, according to a press release. The funds were donated to help advance art, music education and the purchase of musical instruments.
Four dogs have been featured as this week’s Halifax Humane Society Adoptable Pets of the Week. The first is Bear, a 9-year-old terrier and American Staffordshire mix dog with a brown and white coat. He is well-behaved and loves to snuggle and be petted. His adoption fee is $35. The second is Owen, a 3-yearold terrier and American Staffordshire mix dog with a black and brown coat. He likes long walks, can sit on demand and
loves treats. His adoption fee is $35. The third is Louie, a 1-year-old foxhound mix dog with a brown and white coat. He listens well, is gentle and sweet and loves walks. His adoption fee is $70. The fourth is Lola, a 7-year-old terrier and American Staffordshire mix with a black coat. She is sweet, loyal and craves attention. She has been with the Halifax Humane Society since May 29, and her adoption fee is $35. To adopt any of these animals, or see others, visit the Halifax Humane Society’s main campus, located at 2364 LPGA Blvd., or call 274-4703.

Ormond Strong walked over the Granada Bridge each day for a year, until March 10, 2016, to honor a local National Guard unit, the 265th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, during their deployment in Afghanistan. Members of the unit have once again deployed, and Ormond Strong started a new vigil on July 14 with plans to walk each day. Some of the troops went to Europe, others likely to the Middle East, though details have not been announced. Debbie KruckForrester, Ormond Strong leader, said soldiers in the 265th, now headquartered in Palm Coast, left on Father’s Day without fanfare, and she wants to show them and all deployed military that they are remembered. U.S. military presence has recently increased in the Middle East. Ormond Strong meets at the bait shop at Cassen Park at 7:30 a.m.

LIFE IN STAGES

J
ames F. Daniels has seen a lot of things change in Ormond Beach. He was just 11 when he arrived with his family in 1939, fresh out of a Georgia plantation where they’d worked as indentured servants. It took all 16 of them — including a couple of cousins — about 14 hours to travel the estimated 300 miles between the plantation and his Aunt Lily Mae’s house. His father had extended the bed of an old Model T Ford truck for the journey, and all the family members rode in it with all their possessions, along with a few chickens. “You ever seen ‘The Beverly Hillbillies’?” Daniels said. “... They were high-class as far as
what we were.” Daniels, who now lives in Daytona Beach, recalls his aunt was surprised at the number of people who showed up on her front step. That night, relatives crammed into her two-bedroom house, with some sleeping in the truck and across the street at a neighbor’s house. The children took a long time to fall asleep, he said. They had never seen electricity or toilets before. This is one of the accounts Daniels tells in his book “Metamorphosis,” which was published in 2016. It tells the story of his life in stages, from growing up in a plantation in Cordele, Georgia, to coming to Ormond Beach and having a white storeowner look him in the eyes for the first time while he bought candy and lard, and later going
to college and studying political science. Daniels tells accounts of working as an elevator operator in Hotel Ormond, and how at 13 he became a caddy for the South Atlantic Women’s Amateur Championship at what is now the Oceanside Country Club. He speaks about race relations and compares his experiences. When Daniels arrived in Ormond Beach with his family, one of the first things they all did was get jobs. They would each bring their paychecks home and put them on the dining room table. Daniels’ father would count the money. “And boy, we thought we were rich,” Daniels said. But it didn’t take long until the Daniels children were formally enrolled in school, for the first time. Daniels was put in third grade at Rigby School, which used to be housed in the current PACE Center for Girls building. There he met his teacher, Miss Lila Scott. “That woman changed my life forever,” Daniels said. She taught him how to read and write, tutoring him at her house to help him catch up to the other students. Not only did Daniels catch up; he surpassed expectations. “At the end of the school year, I had a straight A average,” Daniels recalled. “Straight A. And she made

me the president of the class.” When he wasn’t in school, Daniels worked. One of those places was Hotel Ormond, where he started out in the kitchen washing pots and prepping food for the cooks. Later, he got promoted to bellhop and elevator operator, and never missed a chance to get a good tip for carrying guests’ luggage up to their rooms. He recalls that, every time he spotted a limousine pull up to the hotel, he would zip outside to help. Those tips would be handed out in little brown envelopes every Saturday morning. All hotel employees would line up in the lobby. “I used to get a lot of brown envelopes,” Daniels said. Daniels, who is working on his second book, said he put his story down on paper because he wanted to share it with the community. He thought it might be something of interest. Daniel’s book is available for purchase on Amazon and at the Halifax Historical Society and Museum. “I thought it was kind of unique — the life that I had lived, and the things that I had seen, all the people I met, the things I’d known that happened so many years ago that I’m pretty much the only person in Ormond Beach that would know about all that stuff,” Daniels said.

PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL 10:06 a.m. — 1600 block of North U.S. 1 Larceny. While responding to a call about a vandalism case in which a vehicle’s driver-side window was broken while it was parked at a local motel, the reporting officer noticed one tiny detail was missing from the car: the license plate’s decal. The owner of the car told him that she hadn’t noticed it was missing until he pointed it out, according to the police report. This wasn’t the first time the woman had a vehicle vandalized. Earlier in the month, she was keeping a car parked in her brother-in-law’s residence and discovered a hole drilled into her gas tank when she attempted to move it. The woman told police that she believed an acquaintance of her brother-in-law was responsible for the crimes, as he had threatened to vandalize vehicles after he was allegedly not paid for work he performed with the brother-inlaw. The woman told police that the suspect said he was going to “make them pay for it one way or another.”
JUNE 29
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY 6:40 p.m. — 700 block of East Victoria Circle Fraud. A man who was previously scammed out of over $3,000 called police when five packages arrived at his house. He opened
one of the boxes and found a letter instructing him to cash the enclosed check and text a number to get a list of items to buy at a local supermarket, which he would then have to ship to an undisclosed address that he would receive after the items were purchased. The man said he wanted police to document the incident because he didn’t want to be blamed if someone got scammed or “comes to find him,” according to the police report. Police collected all five packages. The man told them he had fallen victim to fraud after someone accessed his ShipStation account to ship $3,156 worth of packages in his name.
JUNE 30
SNAP OUT OF IT 3:57 p.m. — First block of Wimbledon Court Loitering. A 38-year-old man was arrested after he was seen trying to enter the screened patio of a house, where he was confronted by the homeowner. Dispatch calls stated that the man took off running and jumped fences before reaching the Halifax River, where officers found him walking in the water, according to police. The reporting officer noted that the man had his hands in the air and appeared to be chewing, but had nothing in his mouth. Police got him out of the water and asked him why he was going into people’s backyards. The man, who explained he had been waiting to be admitted for treatment for his drug addiction, said he had no idea. “I, literally, every time someone screamed, I apologized,” the man told police, adding that it was like he’d snapped out of a dream. He was taken to jail.

Half man, half amazing! The 2019 Vince Carter Youth Basketball Academy began July 15, at Mainland High School. RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR
A
gray bearded Vince Carter stands next to a glass trophy case outside of a full, noisy basketball gym at Mainland High School. In the case are old trophies, jerseys and magazine covers from Carter’s playing days with the Buccaneers and the North Carolina Tar Heels. After multiple interviews with reporters, Carter, who played his 25th season in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks in 2018-19, is ready to return to action. With a whistle in hand, he returns to the court. The 2019 Vince Carter Youth Basketball Academy celebrated the first day of camp on Monday, July 15. Dozens of kids, ages 7 to 17, from around the area filed into Mainland’s Vince Carter Athletic Center to learn the game from the man once dubbed “half man, half amazing,” as well as Buccaneers boys varsity coach Joe Giddens and several assistant coaches and volunteers.
VINSANITY ON THE BUCS’ RECENT SUCCESS Mainland’s boys varsity basketball team has gone 48-10 in two seasons and made the playoffs each year since the hiring of Joe Giddens. Giddens was a teammate of Vince Carter’s on the Buccaneers’ 1995 state championship squad, and the two are still close friends to this day. “Joe believes in what I believe in,” Carter said. “This was a dream job for him, and I think he wanted to make a splash and bring Mainland back to the days of when he played. I think he’s done that. The time he puts in with these kids during the offseason is outstanding. He understands what it takes.”
The camp was from 8 a.m. to noon July 15-19. In addition to basketball skills, there was also fitness and education stations. The camp has been going on for 21 years now. “This is what I want to do,” Carter said. “I’ve enjoyed helping kids, providing opportunity, helping them create a vision for themselves. It’s always great to come back here. It brings it all full circle.”

Carter attributed some of his NBA success to the camps that he got to participate in when he was growing up. In addition to basketball, Carter said he’s using his camp as an opportunity to teach kids valuable life lessons. “What we’re trying to teach here are life skills, education, being able to adjust from one dynamic to another,” he said. “I want the kids to learn something new about somebody else’s background. We have that opportunity here. Learn just a little something about each other’s everyday life. It’s never too early.” Email Ray Boone at ray@palmcoastobserver.com.

rmond Beach residents, along with volunteers from neighboring towns, rolled up their sleeves on Saturday, July 13, for a beach cleanup. Hosted by Restaurant Row, the cleanups started as not only a way to improve the beaches locally, but as a fundraiser event for the newly established nonprofit organization, said founder Lena Lux of Tipsy Taco Cantina. Restaurant Row was started by the businesses on the beachside to build community in all areas, Lux said. This includes community events, block parties with participating businesses, improving
sidewalks and looking into a trolley system to connect businesses This was the second beach cleanup event, and more than 50 people participated. Lux said that the first was so popular with the community that they are hoping to have them regularly. This event included the Tomoka State Park as a cleanup location. “They have been super supportive, as well as all the businesses and organizations in town who have come together to make this day successful and fun,” Lux said. “It’s a great family-friendly event, and we’re excited that there are so many people passionate about keeping our beautiful Earth clean.”

A young couple, Jacob and Mila Britten, have begun new lives here and started their own business, Divinity Creations US, offering custom woodworking art for home decor, gifts and more. Popular items include signs in the shape of states, sports themes, names and quotes. A customer might say they want something for their beach house, kitchen or man cave. While some people know exactly what they want, most leave it up to Britten to create a design

that’s unique and individualized, and that’s what he enjoys most. After serving as an Army combat medic from 2012 to 2016, Britten studied woodworking using a computerized numerical controller router, known commonly as a CNC. Designs are created on a computer screen and art can be uploaded, allowing complete customization. The woodcarving can be treated for use as a cutting board or for outside display. “We even made a checker board with the pieces,” Britten said. The couple met in Washington, D.C., where she was attending college. Civil unrest was breaking out about the time she left her home country of Ukraine, which was alarming to her. “I want a peaceful life,” she said. She always had a dream to live near the beach where the weather is nice year-round. “This is a piece of paradise,” she said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s like something I’ve only seen in movies.” As a child, Jacob Britten often carved things out of wood such as chess pieces and bows and arrows, and later became interested in robotics, so crafting using a CNC machine combines his lifetime interests. Mila Britten said if customers give them an idea, they will bring it to life. Visit www.etsy.com/shop/DivinityCreationsUS or www.divinitycreations.us. Call 540-308-5609.
