Historic black cemetery vandalized, flags burned In response to the incident at Oakridge Cemetery, Ormond Beach police have increased its patrols.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

A historic black cemetery in Ormond Beach was vandalized over the weekend, as flags were removed from graves, broken and burned.

The incident at Oakridge Cemetery on Nova Road came to light after a woman, who has a relative buried at the site, arrived at the cemetery on Monday, July 29, to see the damage left behind by the vandals, according to a police report. In addition to the flags, the historic oak by the front of the cemetery was carved with names.

The woman then contacted the

director of the Oakridge Cemetery board, who notified Ormond Beach police. The woman had been at the cemetery on Saturday, July 27, and the cemetery had been intact then.

Rosa Morey, recording secretary of Oakridge Cemetery Inc., said the board wants to help the community know the importance of the cemetery.

“This is our sacred ground,” Morey said. “Please do not throttle over it. Please don’t come in and destroy — just give a little respect to the dead.”

This is not the first time Oakridge has been vandalized.

About 15 years ago, Morey said, the cemetery was desecrated in an incident where graves were dug up, markers were broken and some switched. Because of that incident, the board isn’t sure the current grave markers are in the right spots today.

Oakridge is the final resting place of many Ormond Beach members from the Liberia and Sudan communities, which originated from the slaves that settled in the city generations ago. It’s where they continue to be buried, Morey said.

Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said in a statement that the Police Department is taking the incident seriously, and that it has increased patrols in the area. There are no known suspects at this time.

“It is an absolute shame that

memorials.

“We have a lot of veterans that work for us and a lot of veterans that come in every day, and the team wanted to respond to the vandalism and pay respect to our fallen local heroes,” Heidorn wrote.

someone would disturb another person’s final resting place and cause distress to the families who have lost loved ones,” Godfrey said.

Morey said it was “dishearten-

“We all come from a communi-

ty,” Morey said. “I don’t care if it’s all Anglo, all Hispanic, all black, all Haitians, we come from a community. It’s just in us.”

U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz: Ormond Beach has potential for aerospace industry.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

As U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz ascended in a helicopter over the city of Ormond Beach with the mayor and the city’s economic development director, Waltz said he saw “a lot of opportunity.”

The congressman was in town on Tuesday, Aug. 6, to see the city’s economic development investments in aviation and aerospace, with a focus on the municipal airport. Waltz got a helicopter tour of the airport, as well as a tour of Hudson Technologies, a local manufacturer.

“I’m a big proponent of growth and creating a business-friendly environment, but we also have to do it in a way that is in keeping with what made everybody want to move here in the first place — namely preserving our environment,” Waltz said. “I don’t think that’s mutually exclusive. I think there’s a way that you can do both of those things.”

Waltz said there is a chronic shortage of pilots in the U.S. Air Force and commercial airlines, and he believes Ormond Beach

VOLUSIA SEEKS SPACE-RELATED INDUSTRY “It was a big ball of excitement.” That’s how Ken Hudson described the heady days at Cape Canaveral when he worked with the space program in the 1950s. “There was a lot of camaraderie. It didn’t matter what your job was.”

Hudson, now with Global Power Reduction Inc., of Sanford, said that excitement is coming back to Central Florida with the growth of private companies involved in space as well as initiatives by NASA. Hudson was at the conference, “Expanding the Aerospace Footprint in Volusia … NOW” on Aug. 6 at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University attended by

and Volusia County have the potential to create an environment for businesses to grow and employees to “thrive.” He called boosting the local aerospace industry a strategic move into the 21st century.

“That’s not just tremendous for Florida,” Waltz said. “That’s tremendous for the whole country.”

The Ormond Beach Municipal Airport has recently seen its share of improvements. Earlier this year, the city rehabilitated Runway 9/27 and improved the heliport.

The Federal Aviation Administration provided a $2.2 million grant for this project. Ormond Beach also received $200,000 from the Florida Department of Transportation. Construction of a runway extension could begin as early as this fall.

Airport Manager Steven Lichliter said during a lunch with Waltz that the runway extension will attract more business to the area, and improve service for the current industries.

“It’s a huge asset for us,” Lichli-

local business and government leaders.

The Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce and the several other sponsors of the event hope excitement about space spreads to Volusia County, resulting in economic growth.

“The industry will progress north,” said U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz, keynote speaker.

Representatives of Ormond Beach were on hand, including Economic Development Director Brian Rademacher, who called the Airport Business Park, the Municipal Airport and Ormond Crossings a hub that hopefully will attract spacebased business. Plans are underway for a road to open up development opportunities in the southwest quadrant of the airport property. A grant has

ter said.

Also in attendance was Maryan Ghyabi, founder of Ormond Beach engineering firm Ghyabi and Associates, and she said the city is in a “great spot.”

“Everything is just great now, and we haven’t had that,” Ghyabi said. “This is the time with everything lined up in the city of Ormond Beach that there’s a major team that is working to get the city of Ormond Beach the recognition that it really needs.”

That recognition, she said, comes in the form of funding.

Waltz said that as long as he is in office, Ormond Beach will have a shot at federal dollars.

“Modes of transportation are critical to an economy, and here in Ormond, which the mayor was just pointing out, you have a major highway intersection, you have a rail service and you have an airport soon to be extended for the best type of aircraft,” Waltz said. “I don’t know what more they can do to make this an attractive area.”

been received and construction is a couple of years away, he said.

The city is reaching out to site selectors, Team Volusia and Space Florida, the state aerospace economic development agency, to let them know what Ormond Beach has to offer, Rademacher said.

Ormond Beach was mentioned at the conference by Waltz, who said he had been at a meeting about the septic conversion plans.

“Why do I mention that at this conference?” he asked rhetorically. “Because we need clean water, we need clean beaches, so we have a framework where people want to come.”

The Daytona Beach International Airport market is underserved and has opportunites for growth, the Volusia County Council was told by consultants on Aug. 6.

Mead and Hunt consultants Doug Blissit and Joseph Pickering addressed the loss of both JetBlue and the most recent Silver Airways. Blissit said the JetBlue service to John F. Kennedy International Airport was a success, but that because the carrier lost money in the second quarter of 2018 and was under competitive pressure to restructure, Daytona became a “sacrificial lamb” in the process.

Blissit said Silver, which received $100,000 in incentives, had canceled over 60% of the markets that it served over the last five years.

“There are many, many more opportunities out there ... and we don’t want those two service suspensions to cast a spell on overall Daytona Beach opportunities going forward,” Blissit said.

County Councilwoman Billie Wheeler asked why the airport would provide an incentive package for an airline with those service cancellation statistics.

“It was risky, but we’re in business and we have to take some risks,” Karl said. “I would say it was worth trying.”

Pickering said one of the challenges Daytona Beach faces is that many residents are willing to drive to the Orlando International Airport for cheaper airfare and nonstop flights.

“We have to keep these incentives competitive,” Pickering said.

Karl said the airport is continuing to chase budget airlines, one of which is Allegiant Air. Representatives from the airline are scheduled to come in for a future site visit.

Tax hike will buy two new fire trucks The proposed tax rate is 3.36% above rollback.

JARLEENE ALMENAS NEWS EDITOR

With the city’s 20-year-old reserve fire engines in service 54% of the time, Ormond Beach Fire Chief Richard Sievers knew it was time for a change.

That change included getting two new trucks to replace them, though at the first budget workshop held on June 4, that seemed unlikely. At that time, the proposal didn’t gain enough support from the commission. But at the budget workshop on July 30, the

commission gave staff direction to move forward with a 3.36% property tax increase to fund the lease purchases of both fire trucks, as well as two additional police vehicles.

“That was the vision of where we needed to go,” Sievers said.

“I’m just so glad that [the commission] bought into that and understood where Ormond Beach should be.”

The first budget hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4, at City Hall.

The proposed millage for the upcoming fiscal year is 4.22 mills, meaning the city will collect $4.22

Though the local Fire Chiefs’ Association has had general discussions about consolidating all fire departments in Volusia County, City Manager Joyce Shahanan said in an email that Ormond Beach is currently not in negotiations with the county on the matter.

Should the city choose to pursue consolidation, staff would need direction from the City Commission.

for every $1,000 of taxable property value. The proposed tax rate is 3.36% above rollback, though Ormond Beach Finance Director Kelly McGuire said the average resident — who has a homestead exemption on his or her property — will see a decrease in property taxes regardless. Businesses are likely to pay more taxes, she said.

The commission’s decision to allocate a percentage of millage toward public safety vehicles isn’t a one-year affair.

“That’ll carry on until the commission decides to do something else with it,” McGuire said.

This move isn’t an unusual one for the city; Ormond Beach has dedicated millage to help replace vehicles and road resurfacing. However, the added millage (0.058 mills above the initially proposed 4.162) will only be used for public safety vehicle replacement.

The city hopes this will help initiate a replacement schedule for the Fire Department’s vehicles. Unlike the Police Department, the Fire Department had not had such a schedule prior to this budget. That’s common, Sievers said. Many cities got rid of replacement schedules for fire apparatuses after the recession.

Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington said this is a “smart way to budget” because it means dedicated millage funds will be available when it’s time to purchase new vehicles in the future. Should the city have purchased the trucks out of reserves, it could have affected a future commission that lacked the reserve funds to do the same, Partington said.

“It could be a precarious situation down the road,” Partington said.

The mayor added that if the city had not needed the fire trucks, the commission might’ve chosen to go to rollback.

“But because we felt strongly about the need to provide those quality vehicles for our departments, our first responders, we’re going to be just a little bit above rollback,” Partington said.

The city last bought two fire trucks in 2018 and 2015.

During the budget workshop, City Commissioner Dwight Selby mentioned an incident that happened a few weeks ago where a person was involved in a crash on State Road A1A. The individual was trapped underneath a vehicle, and the responding Ormond Beach fire truck was unable to help them immediately.

Sievers said the extrication equipment on the truck was more than 30 years old, and was out of service. The equipment was so old the Fire Department couldn’t get replacement parts for it either, he added. The local firefighters had to wait for the Daytona Beach Fire Department to aid them, and

that’s something Sievers said residents don’t deserve to have happen to them. “[Fire trucks] just have a lifespan,” Sievers said. “You don’t want to keep a unit for 20 years that’s running emergency calls.”

The departure of the old reserve trucks isn’t the last step in bringing the agency up to date. Sievers said they have a couple of 50-year-old brush fire trucks that will need to be replaced soon.

The Fire Department will also be placing structural fire fighting gear on a replacement schedule and working to keep up with new technology.

While it will take the Fire Department about 10-12 months to get the new trucks, which will come fully equipped, Sievers said he was pleased with the direction the department is heading in.

“It’s just got us on the path a little bit earlier,” Sievers said.

company started in 2005, the growth was caused by increase in policy holders, but the growth in recent years was caused by bringing functions inhouse, such as data and policy processing, underwriting, handling customer calls, etc. This has meant change for employees, but Melissa Burt DeVriese, chief administrative officer and chief legal counsel, said they have worked hard to create a culture that embraces change.

“We want employees to realize change will continue and it will give them lots of opportunities for growth and to develop professionally,” she said recently.

Finding employees has presented a challenge for the company. During the 10-year gap of hurricanes after the memorable year of 2004, many workers left the business. Security First acted to solve the problem by creating a 90-day training program to become a claims examiner.

“We get a lot of loyalty from the employees we’ve trained and they know the right way to handle a claim,” DeVriese said.

They currently have 30 employees who have gone through the program and are licensed.

About 20 different positions are advertised on the company website, including some that do

Now in three locations, including the main office at 140 S. Atlantic Ave., the company plans to move all employees in September into their new headquarters, a four-story building on 48 acres at Ormond Crossings near the intersection of North U.S. 1 and Interstate 95. It will be the first business in the planned mixed-

use development.

After the move, it will be the largest employer in Ormond Beach. Currently, there are 200 at an office in Holly Hill that will join the rest of the company in the new headquarters.

DeVriese said the company sought employee input throughout the design process of the new headquarters. New features include easy-to-reserve collaboration spaces, fitness center with locker rooms, a yoga studio and smart design with natural light.

LE T T E RS Is cramming more high-traffic businesses on Granada really a ‘smart’ choice?

Dear Editor: Smart growth. A term that’s been thrown around a lot lately.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell what it is, and sometimes it should be obvious what it isn’t. Sticking to existing zoning might at least be a good start. Ormond Beach commissioners voted 4-1 July 30 for a resolution that allows a zoning exception for a restaurant type C with a drive-thru at the new Phase 2 Shoppes on Granada just east of Lowe’s.

The land is zoned B-10, which is intended for low traffic businesses like financial offices, veterinary clinics, etc. In this case, the developer cobbled together several small pieces of property that were formerly residences, trees, an animal hospital and a retention pond.

B-10 zoning “projects a lower intensity suburban environment” and is “particularly suitable for use along major entrance routes where it is in the interest to minimize access cuts in order to promote safety and avoid traffic congestion.”

How ironic. The fact that an Aldi grocery store is going on that lot with a projected 2,000 trips in and out each day is already not in the intent of B-10 zoning. Compounding the problem, the developer is seeking a special exception for a drive-thru restaurant, reportedly Starbucks, adjacent to Aldi’s parking lot. I’m pretty sure most people are happy about an Aldi and a Starbucks drive-thru coming to western Ormond Beach, but that’s not really the issue.

Added to the other (permitted) businesses going there, nearly 4,000 cars will be going in and out of the Phase

2 Shoppes daily. The bad news is that Aldi and the drive-thru will basically share one main entrance with no deceleration/turn lane from eastbound Granada and traffic jockeying from multiple directions just 30 feet inside the entrance.

Anyone going west on Granada will not find it easy to get there at all.

As Commissioner Troy Kent put it rather succinctly when he was the solo “no” vote, there are right uses for this location and a restaurant type like this is not a right use. “It’s going to be jammed up,” he said. The traffic issues were somewhat worrying to Mayor Bill Partington, but not so much to Commissioners Dwight Selby, Rob Littleton and Susan Persis, who said she (personally) didn’t see a traffic problem on Granada.

The city surely spent a lot of time planning land use and zoning, yet it seems that zoning can be twisted to include just about anything. Yes, developers have a right to build on their proper-

ties as we often hear from city and elected officials, but there should be a good reason for an exception to the zoning. Why can’t government officials just say no? There is a major difference in traffic impact between small businesses that generate 50-200 cars a day and businesses that generate thousands.

How about something novel?

Tell developers to seek tenants that fall under the permitted zoning instead of bending over backwards to help them circumvent it.

Security First Insurance Co. plans to move into their new building at Ormond Crossings in September.

in 1918 in Des Moines, Iowa. Burt’s parents, after moving to Ormond Beach in the 1950s, started Burt and Shield Insurance.

Burt was serving in the Florida Senate in 1992 when Hurricane Andrew crippled the insurance industry. He worked with state leaders to create a healthy homeowners insurance market, according to the company website. After leaving the Senate, he formed Security First.

Security First is an insurance company, and not an agency, meaning that the company is the

risk bearing entity. At agencies, the agents help homeowners find an insurance company. DeVriese said 95% of their business comes through agencies.

The company has reinsurance of $1.4 billion. DeVriese said even if Hurricanes Matthew and Irma happened in the same year, they would have enough to cover claims. There are more than 300,000 policy holders.

THE INFINITY COUPON 2:11 p.m. — 1000 block of North U.S. 1 Fraud. A convenience store clerk was fired after he allowed a customer to use a screenshot of a cigarette coupon a total of 3,313 times over a period of three weeks. Apparently, the clerk told police that the customer told him he could use the coupon however many times he liked because he had “something like a savings account” with the cigarette company.

Police reported that the customer, whose identity is unknown, kept coming in the store late at night and purchasing various items. Though the coupon was for $2.50 off a pack of brand name cigarettes,

the customer was using it for other random items, including lotto tickets, energy drinks and beer, according to the report.

Video surveillance of two of the purchases also showed the customer giving the clerk a scratch-off ticket he had “purchased.”

The convenience store loss prevention officer told police the store would pursue charges.

The police report states the store was tricked out of $8,282 worth of merchandise.

‘GET OFF MY LAWN’ 5:09 p.m. — First block of Lochwind Lane Information. An 8-month-old dog spurred an argument between two neighbors when

one threatened to shoot the dog and the man if they ever got on his lawn again.

The man reported the threat to police, saying that he had been watching his daughter ride her bike around the street when their dog got out. The dog then chased after his daughter, so the man got on his own bike to get the dog back inside. The 56-year-old neighbor told police that he saw the dog by a flower bed in his yard, and that he told the man to put the dog on a leash because it was the law.

In response, the man told the neighbor to “Be nice,” according to the police report. The man said he was training his dog for his blind wife, and the neighbor told him to train the dog with a leash. The neighbor denied ever

threatening to shoot the dog, and said he didn’t even own a gun.

Police advised both parties to stay away from each other.

BITTERSWEET GASOLINE 6:06 p.m. — 2000 block of Lipizzan Trail Information. A 63-year-old Ormond Beach resident accused his ex-wife of putting sugar in the gas tank of his lawn mower due to having a scheduled court date at the end of the month.

The man said that after his lawn mower stopped working, he stuck something in the tank, pulled it out, licked it, and that “it tasted sweet.”

Police report that as the officer was getting the man’s statement, the man was mocking

the officer and speaking poorly of the police department. The reporting officer noted that it was difficult to speak with the man because of the mocking and insults. While at the scene, the officer saw the man successfully start the lawn mower twice, according to the report.

The officer gave the man his card, and the man told him, “You can leave now.” The officer then left.

Seabreeze High School football:

Seabreeze players get amped up for the start of practice.

‘There’s been a culture change’ The Sandcrabs are led by a first-year head coach.

RAY BOONE SPORTS EDITOR

E

don Coma was on the brink.

Three losing seasons in your first three years of high school can do that

to you.

Coma joined the football team at Seabreeze High School his freshman year — the first year under former head coach Troy Coke.

The Sandcrabs went 6-24 in those three seasons, including 1-9 in 2018.

Players were messing around. There was no passion. No one took the game seriously.

“It was horrible,” Coma said.

“There were so many times when I wanted to quit, but I told myself to keep fighting through it.”

There’s an air of excitement around Seabreeze’s program. It’s been that way since the hiring of former Father Lopez defensive coordinator Pat Brown in late January.

Brown was at Father Lopez for two seasons, where he helped the Green

Wave advance beyond the first round of the FHSAA playoffs for the first time since 1984. In addition, the team’s defense surrendered 42 points per game before Brown’s addition. They allowed 13.7 ppg when he took over as defensive coordinator.

The tone of the Sandcrabs’ players has shifted. There has been a culture change, and it’s immediately evident to those who view even a minute of the team’s practices.

“We’re coming to practice to work,” Coma said. “I trusted coach Brown’s plan for us, and we’re a completely different team now. No one’s going to see it coming.”

The Sandcrabs held their first

The Sandcrabs’ J.J. Halcomb hands the ball off to Otis Walker.

“Everyone has a different mindset now. It’s really turned on. Last year, we were hoping for .500.

This year, we want that district championship, and we’re going to get it. We’re going to go for it.”

fall practice on the afternoon of Monday, July 29, at the practice fields at Seabreeze High School.

It was a culmination of the work the kids and coaching staff have put in dating back to spring practice and then throughout the summer.

“It’s exciting to be out here,” Brown said. “Guys are getting bigger, stronger, faster. The weight room don’t lie. Whatever you’re putting in, you’re going to get out.

So we’re going to see who put the work in.”

AdventHealth Daytona Beach on Williamson Boulevard now has a new playroom for pediatric patients as well as visiting children. A ribbon cutting for Timmy’s Playroom with the Tim Tebow Foundation was held July 30.

The grandmother of a patient in the pediatrics department attended the ribbon cutting.

“I’m thrilled,” Lisa Gibson said.

“She’s going to love this.”

Steve Biondo, president of the Tim Tebow Foundation, said the foundation and AdventHealth are a good partnership because they share the Christian faith.

“We have two agencies both with the same heart and the same mission,” he said. “Faith, hope and love are on display in this playroom.”

Stacy Bare, of DeLand, was at the ribbon cutting with her son, Jackson, who had used the playroom in the hospital recently. “To hear him say he forgot he was sick for a while was just phenomenal to me,” she said.
